over the car for every miner heard

Scientists claim that ninety per

NEW STYLE FUEL
!. ISDEMONSTRATED
Refuse Chemically Treat
ed Becomes Good Heat
ing Material

A demonstration is being. made
at the store OF Sam B. 1seman on
Adams street, near Monroe, where
the Robinson Artificial Fuel Com.
pany is, demoustrating.,aItype Of
combustile fuel, which are thes size
Of a baseball, burning them in a
furnace there. These fuel balls
burn for an hour or more and be-
ing possessed OF 1883 b. tus. ac-
cordlng to an analyses made by
Prof. A. C. Callen, head Of the
department of mining engineering,
West Virginia University. Nor
gantown, they throw much heat.
After being fully burned the burn
ing mass is converted into a coke.
The fuel is made from waste
paper, leaves, rags, ordinary deb
ris and after being treated chemic.
ally are moulded into balls. The
process has been patented, the in
yentor being Elijah Robinson, 400
Pennsylvania avenue. In the pres.
ent fuel coal dust or what is
known around the mines as "buck"
dust is utilized but it is said that
even this is not necessary to as
sure combustion.
At present the fuel is being
made at Robiuson's residence but
later a factory will be located on
Lis Unions tract on Cleveland
avenue, the contract having been
lot to J. C. Burohinall for a plant
to be erected Mt a cost OF from
SIS 900 to $1,000. Stock Is being
sold at S25 a share. At present
the fuel is only being demonstrat.
ed and is not being offered for sale
to the general public.
Many years ago Robinson In.
vented a coal augur and he was
held up and his plans stolen. After
eighteen years Of study he claims
that he has perfected 3 chemical
process by which fuel can be
made, which in time will revolu'
tionize the coal industry in a do
mestice way and believes that this
process will lessen the value OF
the augur which was stolen from
him.

Killed in Senate.

Early in the session, Representative

ard OF sexual morality for married men
and women, and Senator Lee intro
duced the same bill in the Senate. The
bill passed the House on January Is,
SO voting for it and not any against it,
says the Park Region Echo of. Alex
andria.
This bill met with bitter opposition
in the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate and was made matter of ridi-
.cule and jesting. This committee held
the bill for seven weeks, and it was
not until a League Senator gave notice
that he would make motion to have
the bill withdrawn that it was returned
to the Senate with the recommendation
that it be indefinitely postponed. AS a
substitute for the committee report, a
motion was made by Senator Lee to
have the bill printed and placed on
general orders, but this motion was
voted down.
If this bill had remained in the COM
mittee, then Senators opposed to it
would not have been forced to go on
record. How Senators voted is shown
in the Senate Journal for March 18.

BIRTHS OUTNUMBERED
sasaA DEATHS TWO TO ONE.
Health Statistics Show Big In
crease in Nicollet County's
Population Last Year.

According to statistics received by
Clerk of Court William Mallgren at
st. Peter, last week, every township
IN Nieollet county shows an excess of
births over deaths during 1920. In
st. Peter the deaths equalled the
births, while in Lafayette village the
population was decreased by two
persons.
E The statistics show total of ,242
deaths in st. Peter, but this seemingly
alarming death rate is explained by
the fact that of this number 202
persons passed away at the state
hospital, leaving only 40 deaths among
the actual residents of St. Peter.
Excluding the casualties at the in
sane asylum, Nicollet county shows a
net gain in population Of 157. The
township making the best showing in
the computation of last years vital
statistics is Oshawa, where II births
occurred, as against only one death.
West Newton township is close
second with Is births and only two
deaths, while Belgrade, Nicollet, Court
land and New Sweden townships also
average up we'll in population increases.
There was only one township in the
county that was not visited by the
Grim Reaper during the past year,
namely, Brighton, which, however,
has five births to it's credit.
AS will be seen by the following
table, there were 282 births and 327
deaths in Nicollet county last year:
