COAL CHEAPER

STATE FOOD COMMISSIONER. As

VermiIlion, Dec Goal, even at
the present high prices. il cheaper
than corn as fuel
This Is the answer given by the
state food and drug commissioner to
an inquirer from an upstate town.
The correspondent wrote Commits
sioner Frary giving the selling pri-
ces of ear corn and four varieties or
coal. and asked how the corn and
coal compared in fuel value. also
whether one would be justified in
burning corn on the basis of the
prices quoted
Calculations made bv a depart
ment chemist show the heating va
lue of ear corn to De about one-half
the average for coal The person
writing the food commissioner had
figured corn at 81 cents. f0r Is
pounds. or ss54 per ton
An elevator in vermiIlion tosiaT
offers Is cents for IS pounds NJ ear
corn. OF s12 per ton.
At the lower price two tons of
corn could be bought for the price
of one ton of coal ut SIT. which is
perhaps about an average price for
the better grades OF soft coal in this
state at present
However. corn cannot be compar-
ed directly with coal as fuel ON a
basis of heat units alone. according
10 the food commissioner, for in
burning coal there il comparatively
little lost energy in the burning pro-
cess. while with corn il Is quite diff
ferent
Corn contains much more mois-
ture than coal and this causes much
loss Of heat energy The chemical
composition Of corn is such that
considerable heat is required 10 der

Therefore. concludes the commits
sioner. although the prices Of corn
are low TO the point of discourage

nomy for him TO marker his corn

STREET FLusHER AT WORK.
Machine Proves Satisfactory in Try
outs on City Streets.

The city street fusher used for the
first time Wednesday afternoon, on
South Third avenue, operated well
and is expected to do the street
cleaning work well. The fiusher
works without raising any dust, anu
is thoroughly sanitary IN that re-
spect.
The fusher is. equipped with
spouts in front, on the sides and In
the rear, with a sprinkler device at
tached to the front, making the ma
chine two-fold in its operation. The
large water tank mounted In the
truck. gives the fusher much the APP
pearance of huge oil tank, and It
operates at a speed that makes the
work Of cleaning the streets short
job. The front flusher was all that
was used Wednesday. The sheets Of
water, coming from the supply tank
under high pressure, being driven by
q pressure motor, cross each other,
striking the pavement at an angle
and sweeping the dirt into the
cutters and the middle of the street.
The flusher's range is such that tvs
trips are necessary to clean the full
width of the street.
The flusher was at work early this
morning before traffic had started
on Main street, and the street at 5
o'clock was free from dust and dirt.
The truck is equipped with rubber
tires. and the body and tank are
painted an olive tan.
