The cost of fuel for a cookstove will be less than 5 cents for twenty-four hours. Lima crude oil can be used, and is run through a pipe one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter.

Caleb bought a horse for SIBO from Harrison some time ago, but he hadn't gone far with him until he discovered that he was "wind broken," and then he took him back and demanded his money.
