Dunaway was superintendent Of the Prescott schools at this time Tn 1910 the high school was finished and the societies were moved there The Bemis Loving Cup was presented to the two societies by the late Hor- ace Bemis. The presentation Of this cup brought about a friendly rivalry between the two societies. which had not been manifested before.

Use of Peat as Fuel.

Few have realized that peat might replace coal and break to a large ex- tent the dependence of some of the northern states upon distant coal mines.
 For several months a Minneapolis company has been engaged in the prep aration of peat for fuel, said to be the only enterprise of it's kind in the coun- try. A machine has been perfected that digs, macerates and spreads out to dry 'oo tons Of wet peat in a day, or a quantity sufficient to produce 100 tons of dry fuel. That's how much peat contracts in the drying process. One man operates the machine.
 During the summer the machine was operated on a bog near Minneapolis, and peat, procesSed at the University or Minnesota, was burned with satis- factory results in a Minneapolis office building.
 crusher plant with a capacity of 500 tons of peat a day, has been built In Minneapolis during the winter to produce powdered peat, and in the spring ten peat digging machines are to be started on the Minnesota bOgs.

"TACTlLlSM" THE LATEST ARi
pio+ures Can Be "Seen" by Touch, Is Declaration Made by Inventor
 of New Fad.

Among the things that nave thelr dav and cease to be-" artistic extraV- agances hold prominent place me wild vagarles of impresslonistS' cu- bists and futuriSts one by one eclipse what has gone before.
 "Tactilism' is the name or new "art" invented by Signor Marinetu' the Italian futurlst who, recently, to large audience of painters, art critics and society people in Paris, explained it's principles. It is q method Of con veylng impre ssions through the sense of touch. which has hitherto been neglected by the arts
 Marinetti told how he had tried to establish series of conventions, which could be easily learned, by which different touches would bring forth definite ideas. For instance, something rough, spiky and hot to the touch would give the idea of the Sahara. The seas would be conjured up by something smooth and cold, like silver paper and Paris by a mixture of silk and velvet. It is an evidence of the readiness of the day to take up anything new that this adventur- ous futurlst pioneer is now the lion of the season. He intends to be in Paris for some weeks, but has already re- ceived so many invitations to attend fashionable receptions and evening parties that he confesses that he hard ly knows how to cram in all his ap- pointments.

MIGHT HAVE "WON" THE ROLL
Colored Man Did His Best, and the Matter Ended Without Harsh
 Feelings.

Somewhere in Chicago today a good natured negro is suffering passive dis appointment, for he very nearly "won" some money yesterday.
 A reporter was passing along Sher. idan road near Irving Park boulevard when he noticed a small roll of money. As he reached for it slim and smil- ing negro jumped out of a doorway and said:
 Just minute, boss. I just missed 1t in time. It's mine, mister"
 The finder turned to one side, saw how much there was in the small roll and asked:
 How much did you loser?
 Let me see" said the negro, still smiling and looking thoughtfully up in the airl "'bout, let's see, now, Oh-h-h-h, say bout 'leven dollars"
 "Wrong" said the reporter This amount is nothing like that"

DESIGNED TO UPHOLD WEIGHT
Elephants Foot Is Enormous, Even When Compared With the Size
 of the Beast.

That twice around an elephants foot equals its height seems almost in- credible, yet such is the fact, and little reflection will show you that it Is not so wonderful as 1t appears to be. Things are large or small, comparatively, and if we could see the foot of an elephant by itself, it would present far different appear ance as to size from what it gives when Overshadowed by the mountain of flesh il supports. The elephants in the Indian commissariat being di- eted according to height require to be measured annually to determine the amount of food to which they are en- titled. At present this is done by means of the ordinary standard with crOSshar on top, but formerly it was done by placing a rope around the ami mals forefoot close to the ground, and multiplying the length so obtained by two. This measurement generally gives quarter of an inch or so more, but never less than the exact height.
