ONE, INJURIES 10

One person dead and more than ter
injured, together with widespread
property damage, was the toll taker
by cyclonic storms in four southern
Minnesota counties last Saturday af.
ternoon.
The trail of destruction extended
through parts of Steele, Rice, Dakota
and Goodhue counties, but, as its
course was not continuous, it is be-
lieved at least two twisters caused
the scattered damage.
The only fatality reported vas that
of an 11-months-ol child in a Red
Wing hospital, where it had been brot
after it's rescue from a crumbled farm
home five miles south of that city.
Three other persons were injured near
Red Wing.
Five persons were injured at Castle
Rock, when a number of buildings in
that town, of less than 200 population,
were wrecked by the storm. Three of
the victims had taken refuge in the
basement of a brick residence, which
the storm wrecked, showering them
with bricks.

went into the shop of a leading Wash

his change wandered around looking
at the shirts displayed in show cases
But let the. former speaker tell us
about it:

stripes, and l like to wear that kind
During the war you could not get g
shirt with red stripes which would not

change he did not have enough and

NAVAL HOSPITAL SHIPS WILL
TAKE WIVES OF SAILORS
TO PACIFIC COAST.

The Naval Hospital Ship Mercy will
shortly sail for the Pacific coast with
the wives and families of the officers
and enlisted men Of the Pacific fleet
The vessel has been undergoing ex.
tensive repairs for the past two
months at the Brooklyn IN. W navy
yard in preparation for this novel
cruise.
The Mercy was commissioned in
February 1918 and made five trips to
Europe carrying over three thousand
wounded soldiers and sailors home to
the United States. She was complete
ly equipped as a hospital ship, there
being over three hundred beds divided
into several wards. There is al ex-
aiming room and isolation ward, an
operating room, dental ward and other
rooms and wards, all of which are
fully equipped to care for the sick.

PRIZES
BY FARM BUREAU
IN CORN CONTEST

The Farm Bureau is conducting a
%ten-acre corr contest. There will be
given away as prizes $425. The coun-
ty will be divided into FOUR DIS
TRICTS, in order to give every one
an equal chance. The northern dis
trict includes all of the territory north
of township 80. The remaining part
is divided north and south into three
districts, the western, central and east
ern districts. This method of divid-
ing the county gives every one an
equal chance to win, and there will
be 500 prize money for each district.
There is no entrance cost and the
more that enter the contest the better;
however, we are asking that each per-
son exhibit corn at the County Fair
and also furnish a corn exhibit for the
State Fair of ten ears or more. II
anyone is interested in the Corn Con
test they should write the Farm Bur
a office for an entrance application
Any variety of corr may be grown as
prizes will be awarded for fodder corn
as well as for grain. Contestants
growing corn on dry land will not
have to compete with contestants
growing corn under irrigation. The
judges will be provided with a score
card to judge by, therefore every field
will have an equal chance in winning

Newspaper compositors and men
who edit copy, no matter how eagle
eyed they may be, sometimes allow
errors to get by that are either laugh
able or humiliating. The Chicago
Tribune, in reporting a political meet
ing, said that the vast audience rent
the air with their shouts. Another
Chicago paper reported that the pro-
peller Alaska was leaving port WITH
a cargo of 10000 bushels of cats. A
buffalo paper in describing the scene

strange to the unique passenger list
which will shortly embark on this IA
nous vessel. Association and cor
respondence with their sailor husbands
has been an excellent means of in
struction. The wife of one chief pet
ty officer was sure that her husband
had told her enough about the sea to
qualify her as a "man-o'warsman.'
And no doubt there will be many sur
prises sprung when a sailor announces
that dinner is about to be served, and
some fair passenger informs him that
she has not seer the meal pennant
broken nor heard "pipe down" blown
on the boatswain's pipe.
When the navy department decided
to send a fleet of ships to the Pa
cific, it was not possible to keep all
the sailors residing on the east coast
in the Atlantic fleet. AS a result a
number of married men were separat-
ed from their loved ones. The navy
is now doing the best possible thing
by bringing the wives of the sailors
to their husbands, the only expense
being for their meals.
Everything else on this pleasure
trip will be free for the wives of the
sailors; doctors, nurses and attend
ants will be on board to care for the
sick passengers. A novel milk ma
chine has been installed for the con-
v~erting of milk powder into a beverage
similar in every respect to fresh milk;
this insures plenty of good milk for
the children and the sick passengers.
This wonderful trip will give the
sailors wives an opportunity to see
the strange lands and peoples Of which
they have often heard their husbands
talk. The Mercy will go through the
Panama canal and shape her course
over the route taken by the Pacific
fleet in its historic cruise from Hamp-
ton Roads to the Golden Gate. The
trip will take about three weeks as
planned by the navy department., and
after a liberal stop-over at Colon and
Panama City the hospital ship will
turn her prov towards the sunny
coast Of California.
These little incidents mean much
for the morale of the men in the ma
Wy, and it may be truthfully said that

FORD A L
E T FUEL

Five thousand gallons of benzol, a
by-product of coke used for motor
fuel, is now being daily extracted and
refined at the Ford Motor company's
blast furnace coke ovens lear De-
troit, Michigan. This fuel, which is
more highly combustible than gaso-
line, is now being sold at a public sta
ton at the above named plant, and
has proven highly satisfactory. The
price at present is about the same as
that of gasoline.
While the Ford Motor company is
not the first to discover or use this
fuel for motor cars, still the public
station is the first eve opened to
sell exclusively for motor car con-
sumption. This filling station car
ries a supply of $4,000 gallons of ben
zol on hand all the time. To date
some 100000 gallons have been sold
and used by car and truck drivers in
Detroit. Particularly during the re-
cent strike there was an exceptionally
large demand for this product.
Benzol has not yet reached the
highest stage of refinement, and pres
ent results are best when it is mixed
in equal portions with gasoline. Heat
and cold also affect differently from
gasoline. But the Ford chemical lab.
oratory is doing a great deal of ex-
perimenting and soon hope to be able
to refine it so it can be used alone
and under all conditions. Of course
its chief effectiveness comes from its
