Sends Millions of Dollars Worth to
EurOpe EYcrY Yenr.

How to make food out of rocks is the
lesson taught by the Tennessee state ex-
hibit at the corn show. Tennessee Is the
home of the phosphate rock, which is used
So extensively in the production Of fer
tilizer. The exhibit contains samples Of
this rock fertilizer in all the stages Of man
ufacture.
The great Mount Pleasant q~uarries ship
about 25 cars OF rock weekly. OF this
enormous production 20 per cent is used in
the United States.
The s5,0OO,OO 0 worth OF fertilizer from
these quarries which finds it's way to the
worn out farms of Europe each year would
be worth 500, 900, 900 to the United States IL
it were kept at home" said Prof. c.. @.
Hopkins Of the University of Nebraska in
a lecture delivered at the show.
The Tennessee exhibit is under the charge
Of Frank D. Fuller, assistant secretary of
the Tennessee state fair. The Agricul-
tural school could not spare the money to
put an exhibit at the Omaha show" said
Mr.. Fuller, "but we Were not going to let
our state go without a representation
here"

Explosion lNTFMnEn To
PREVENT USE OF STORY
ThiS is One Theory of the Motive BE-
hind Dynamite Outrage at
St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Dec, 1S.-That the explosion
which wrecked the office of a weekly
publication and damaged the residence OF
a contributor to the paper Saturday night
were intended as a halt to a STORY" not
yet published, was the theory adopted by
the police today.
George c.. Dwyer. proprietor of the
weekly, gave the police the name of a
man whose marital affairs were written
up some time ago. and declared his be-
lief that this person was at least cognizant
Of the explosion.
The police, however. later practically re-
Jected this clue. Harry B. Wandell, whose
home was attacked, told the officers that
he had nothing to do with the publication
referred to by Dwyer.

that the soldiers have been here since

them In the grim garb of war, they
are more than pleased that this place

We are proud of the Maryland SOL

ficers upon the splendid discipline
that peryades the ranks of the mill
tary organization.
The Governor came on Tuesday
evening. spending the night In the
camp. and with his attractive STAFF,
reviewed the troops ON the following
day. This display was everything
that could have been desired, either
from a military or civilian stand
point. An immense throng of our
citizens witnessed the review, and
everybody went away feeling proud
Of our Maryland soldiery, and Will
be glad to have them come again TO
the beautiful hills of Carroll.
With unanimous consent the Of
flcers and men expressed themselves
as delighted with the site Of the
CAMP They were unstinted In their
praises OF the beauty and convent
ence Of the location. and the excellent
arrangements which had been made
by our citizens for their coming.
II Is conceded by all to be the high
water mark" Of the encampment OF
the Maryland National Guard.
As would. be expected from Mary

in the camp and In the town. II has
been matter OF remark. that with
such number OF people. soldiers
and iothers. upon our streets, the
disturbances have been 80 few and
so slight Our people have been able
to see and appreciate. as never be-

Of our state service.
