COAL OIL ENGINES
Fairbanks Morse Make
t
. At the present high cost of gasoline it becomes
necessary for the farmer to find some way in which
they can furnish cheaper power for pumping and
other work. The coal oil engine has been thor
oughly tested in every way and is being used by
many progressive people who use e/ery method to
save. As the present cost of coal oil is very little
more than half that of gasoline it would save you
many dollars during a season’s use. So it will pay
you, Mr. Farmer, to investigate before you buy.

Here we are ngain.
1 see in our local paper, the Elbort
Tribune, a short time ago an invitation
to tnlk over the subject of a High school
, in Elbert Now I would like to see El
, bert have n High school .jIabs, but 1 hear
. there is no room in the present school
building for such, and I understand wo
are bunded to the limit, I see no way to
liolp it if such is the cuso. I see where
, the building has been called the ‘‘Ten
l Thousand Dollar Ice Box,” and I would
i not like to have our high school pupils
■ turned into icicles by being conllned in
a refrigerator. For the present,
