Wheat Fluctuations Need A Clamp

Acid-Proof Table Top

For chemical laboratories, battery
service stations. and other places
where acids are handled. an acid-proof
coating on the table tops is almost a
necessity. The following two solu-
tons are used for this purpose. The
first consists of iron sulphate. 4 parts;
copper sulphate. 4 parts; potassium
permanganate, 8 parts, and water 100
parts. The second solution consists
of anilin, IL parts; hydrochloric acid,
l8 parts; water. 100 parts.
Two coats of the first solution are
applied hot with brush and allowed
to dry; any dried coating that has not
soaked in is then rubbed off. The sur
face is then given two coats of the
second solution and later thin coat
of raw lirseed oil is rubbed on with a
cloth. If the table top is painted or
vanished. it should be ecraped down
so that the solutions will penetrate
the wood. In cases where this method
was used on some old laboratory
tables the result was highly satisfac-
tory. The surface turns ebony-black

for the time being will benefit
by the proposed and sadly
needed reorganization. 1t is
"a move in the interests Of the
people of the state and the
quicker 1t is undertaken the
better for all concerned.
THE people will accomplish
more by functioning within the
accredited party organization
than unL.r the hybrid system
That has 50 long obtained here.
And the first step in re-or-
ganization is to recognize and
fairly meet in platforms and
promises made to be fulfilled
the farmers problems. They
cast 80 per cent of the votes
in the state. Their problems
are as far from receiving the
attention they should from the
present party organizations as
they were when Mr.. Townley
began his drive to- organize the
'Nonpartisan League. 1t is ap-
parent the whole matter is
quite simple if it is honestly

"in platforms and promises"-to
solve the farmers problems; that
is the old-time bunk. 1t cant be
done: and the suggestion that i:
ought to be done carries its own
implication of ins,ncerity or Of
childish credulity. 1t was only

reasonably hope to get. This pa

have a panacea for all human ills
