CASE I i j 199 PILOT IHI IS JLi Per Bag PLATTSMOUTH CREAMERY Home of Casco Butter Nebraska Farm Notes It rr.y sound fantastic now. but gasoline made from corn cobs and cotton-seed hulls may not be too far off. The Agriculture Department dis closes its scientists are trying to find out whether it is practicable to obtain gasoline from farm resi dues which normally go to waste. The work is being carried on at the Peoria. 111., plant of the Bureau of Agriculture and Industrial Chem istry. It is part of the governments general program to develop new sources of synthetic gasoline i n case of national emergency. In a companion effort, the Bu reau of mines is investigating the posibilities of obtaining gasoline from non-agricultural products as coal and gas. Both research pro grams were okayed by congress in 1944. Two Objectives The Agriculture Department's re search has two objectives: 1. To show how much alcohol, tained from a given tonnage of butanol and acetone can be ob various agricultural residues such as corncobs, sugar cane pulp, pea nut shells, flax shives and the hulls of oats, cottonseed and rice. 2. To provide a bases for figuring how much it will cost to produce A BRAND svnthetic easoime and whether large-scale commercial production is feasible. It is expected that abou 95 gallons of gasoline will be ob tained from each ton of residue. Officials emphasized that no one expects synthetic gasoline to re place the natural product, their most optimistic hope is that the new product can be used as a blend to stretch the nation's reserves of petroleum. Agriculture also has a consider able stake in the experiments. If the process proves practicable, it could provide an outlet for surplus farm crops as well as give the farm er a profit from crop residues which normally go to waste. Straw Can Be Used Dr. L. B.

He had stopped the convertible at an intersection of the town's main highway. One way led east to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York. The other west. Red shrugged his broad shoul ders and grinned back at his friend. "Makes no difference to me," he said carelessly. On impulse he reached down into his pocket and brought out a handful of loose silver. He poised a nickel between a thumb and forefinger. "What do you say . . ." Russ nodded. "Heads east; tails west." Red nipped the coin, caught it on his wrist and held it there for Russel to see. Russ gulped a deep lungful of air and puffed out bis chest in pantomime. "The great open spaces for us," he said. It had been no trouble to talk Russel into taking a trip with Red. He had agreed eagerly, so eagerly when his father outlined the idea that Red, who knew Rus sel as well as he knew himself, got the impression that he was running away from something. Well, what the heck. Red thought. He was running away 'from a situation that had become I too complex for him, too. J The first night they stopped in Chicago. They were up early and on the road again. They drove all that day, the next night and the 1 next day, taking turns at the I wheel. Davenport, Cedar Rapids, ' Des Moines and Omaha slipped be hind the flying wheels of the Buick convertible. The third night they stopped in a small town somewhere west of Omaha and hunted a hotel room. THE JOURNAL, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA By V. T. Hamlin Bureau of Agricultural and Indus trial Chemistry, said that cereals straws and corn stalks also can be used in the process. He estimted that there are a bout 200,000,000 tons of agricultur al residue a year. About half of this would be available for indus trial uses, he said, leaving the oth er half for soil conditioning pur poses. If the expectation of the scien tists that the residue will yield 95 gallons of gasoline to the ton is borne out, it would mean an addi tional 9,500,000,000 gallons of gas oline a year. The department said it may be some time before it can obtain ac curate figures on the cost of mak ing synthetic gasoline from agri- out and looked for and found a bright, busy-looking restaurant. The food was excellent. There was even beer to be had. TT was Red who first noticed the two girls in the booth across from them. A curvaceous redhead and a tall dark girl who looked, Red thought, like Elise Varney. He caught the dark girl's eye and grinned at her. Eoth of the girls laughed. Red turned to Russ, a question in his eyes. Russell took a look and nodded his head. Red looked back at the girls and said boldly, "Care if we move over?" The dark girl smiled a lazy in viting smile. Red and Russell picked up their plates and moved across the aisle. Red maneuvered it so that he sat next to the dark girL There was an exchange of names and some giggled comments from the girls. "What about some more beer?" Red asked. The redhead said she knew a place where they could dance and get something better than beer. They went out into the unsea sonably warm night and piled into Russel's car. The night club was like all night clubs from coast to coast. Dimly lit, stale with cigaret smoke and tainted with the sour smell of beer. A girl with uneasy hips was gushing a song into a mike. They found a table in a booth and ordered drinks. They danced, Red with the dark girL She slid expertly into his arms, moved her body suggestively against his in time to the music. She kept ex claiming about how strong he was. The music stopped and Red led her back to their table. THERE was a blue-shaded light ( l I !

"If expectations are realized, ho ever," it said, "a greatly expand ing market for agricultural residue blue like the dress Elise Varney had worn that night at dinner at the Condons. Red remembered the way the candle light had flick ered on the earrings Elise had worn. Tiny glints of red fire when she turned her lovely head. This girl had earrings too. Huge ones set with cheap rhinestones. They glittered and her eyes were inviting. She snuggled up against Red and put her head intimately on his sh.jlder. "Kiss me." she said, tilting back her head. She had had too much to drink and her mouth was limp and lax. Red moved suddenly moved away so that the girl had to sit up quickly to avoid sliding down on the hard seat. She gave Red an angry look. Red looked over her head, met Russel's eyes and motioned with his head toward the door. Russel nodded back and said something about getting back to town. When they were back in their hotel room, Russ looked at Red and grinned. Surprise etched the ar -ment in his eyes. at's the matter, Red? Los ing your taste for women? t That dark girl wasn't bad and she really went for you." Red countered obliquely, 1 just don't go for that easy stuff any more." Russ, who had started: to un dress, suddenly turned back to Red. "What do you say let's get out of here. Now. I'll drive and you can sleep." Red paused with one shoe off. The urgency in Russel's voice was out of keeping with his casual words. He hastened to agree. "All right whatever you say. I don't care." They put their clothes back on and stowed their things back into their suitcases and went out to the car. Russel drove and nothing was said for awhile. Red was beginning to settle into a comfortable drowsiness when Russel suddenly broke his silence: "I don't know what's the matter with me. I just want to fceep go ing ... it doesn't matter where." And then at Russel's next words Red sat up in his seat. V " ... Win Games In Competition Boyd Rodaway and Stanley Phil lips. Other promising material in cludes.

We have those who realiz e this fact and for many years have been doing their individual best through the Boy Scouts and through the churches to promote our youth to manhood and womanhood Every healthy youngster is possessed of an overload of pep. If this exuberance is put to healthy outdoor activities such as tennis, baseball, skating, swimming, etc. , experience has shown us that this enthusiasm will grow and become ambition. It will become ambition that makes bankers, lawyers, doctors, statesmen and as important as any it will make each one a healthy citizen of which any community can well be proud. You who are mothers and fathers no doubt have said many times that you would wish for yo ur children more opportunities than you yourself enjoyed as a child. You who have never had the experience of having a young ster can only look bark on your childhood and open mindedly tell yourself that there were things that you would have desired if they were possible. Each f you can help our youngsters, not only by your finan cial support to the present effort to build an athletic park and play ground but also by your patient un derstanding of their problems and personalities.
