Its Oil Biirned Longer and Gave a Brighter and Stead-
-icr Flame Than That of Its Competitor
Representative Grocers Present.
In a test of the burning qualities
made in the commercial club rooms
yesterday by an impartial committee
Perfection oil, manufactured by the
Standard Oil Co., and retailed in Fargo
at 15 cents by the local merchants,
over one of its rivals, was demonstrat
ed to the satisfaction of all those pres
ent. For some time a controversy
has been carried on here relative to
the respective values of the Rosein
oil, a product of the Marshall Oil Co.
and the Perfection oil of the Stand
ard. Finally some of the local groc
crymen decided to give the matter a
fair test and Invited the representa
tives of the two companies to be pres
ent and witness the experiment.
The committee in charge, consistlnp
of. P. J. Bergqulst, O. S. Hadeland, W
B. Howland and John Stanford, ac
companied by T. W. Jackman, stat
oil inspector, Manager Rodman of th
local branch of the Marshall Oil
and R. A. Thomson of the Standard
Oil Co., visited the store of P. J. Bere
qnlst and took sampies of both th.
Perfection and Roseine oils from tank
lit of which oil was being drawn
supply customers of the store. Thi
ommlttee went to the Fargo Grocerv
\.'s establishment and secured an
other sample of Roseine oil. Armed
with these they proceeded to the com
nerclal club rooms. Here four lamps
ach containing about eight ounces of
11, were filled, two with Roseine and
two with Perfection oil. The wicks
were carefully trimmed so that they
would be exactly alike and the lamps
lighted at 11 a. m.
The lamp chimneys were provided
with lines for measuring the size of
each flame and the test was for the
purpose of determining the burning
quality of the oils as shown by the
#ize of the flame, its clearness and bril
liancy. All of the lamps continued to
burn for six hours but the lamps con
taining Perfection oil gave a much
larger and better flame than those
burning Roseine. At 5:14 the first
lamp, which was one containing Ros
eine oil, went out, while its companion,
containing the same quantity of Per
fection oil, continued burning for 13
minutes longer, giving convincing
proof of the better lasting qualities of
Perfection oil. An examination of the
two wicks, made after both lamps had
bunnedr out, -showed- that that contain
ing Perfection oil was the least char
red of the two.
All those who witnessed the test
including the members of thfc eotrtmlt
tee, seemed convinced that it was a
Clear demonstration of the superior
practical value of Perfection oil.

Had a Lot of Experience Inside

It cost Frank Smith, a young man
ilvlftg Tft northern Minnesota, just
•$4 S1 3-®- cents for every hour he was
in Moorhead and Fargo. Smith came
to this, city with $118 yesterday morn

at 9 o'clock for his home without a
single $pnt. dUpon his arrival here he
fell In nwtlrwo men who decoyed him
across -the creek, and upon reaching
one of the booze camps over the Red,
he wanted to act the part of a good
fellow and treated his supposed
friends. When lie woke up later in
the day -he found himself In the Moor
head jail, charged with the theft of a
watch. One of the fellows who was
with him, after he became doped, re
ported that Smith took a watch from
him. Chief Wade, late yesterday aft
ernoon, brought Smith to Fargo, the
fellow being in a dazed condition. The
watch reported to have bejen taken
was found in a local pawnshop, and
this morning when Smith recovered
from the effects of his knockout drops
he told Chief Wade that he bought thi
watch from the fellows, and after hiy
money was taken from him he pawn

The complaining witness, .who
charged Smith with stealing the
watch, failed to put In an appearance

Enough Hard Luotu
Lancia, the noted Italian automo
bilist, was asked the other d:»y by a
reporter if he did not think motor rac
ing too dangerous.
"Dangerous—yes," M. Lancia replied.
"Too dangerous—no. For nothing that
benefits mankind—and automobiles
benefit mankind inexpressibly—is too
dangerous for a man to undertake.
"I have a good deal of contemut for
men who are not brave to the ooiut
of rashness. I am like a highwayman
who held up a gasoline runabout on
the outskirts of Rome.
"This highwayman stopped the run
about with a shot in the air. Then he
ran forth from the tomb that had con
cealed him—the holdup happened on
the Applan way—and found, to his
surprise, only a woman in the little
car.
'Where, madam, is your husband?'
he demanded sternly and suspiciously.
'He's under the.seat,' she answered
flushing.
'Then,' said the highwayman, *1
won't take nothing. It's bad enough to
have a husband like that, without l»e
ing robbed into the bargain."

Book Agent's Troubles.
Chicago Chronicle: A book agent

employed in the linen department of
big downtown hotels came to grief
In front of the Victoria hotel. He had
just emerged from the main entrance
of the hotel when his case opened and
all of his books fell on the sidewalk
Three packages of tobacco which had
been snugly tucked under the book in
the left-hand corner of the case also
were precipitated and while scores of
pedestrians commented on the plight
of the unfortunate book agent the lat
ter was so embarrassed that he experi
enced much difficulty in picking the
ijxioks out of the mire.
Two fashionably dressed women who
^had alighted from an automobile trip

fortunate book agent and his wares
jwas not pleasing to hear. After he

or fifteen minutes the agent finally
succeeded in replacing the books in
his case and started north on Michi

securely the straps he also wrapped
a heavy cord about the case.
