Clay to Be Tested.

Lawrence.-An extensive movement
for the purpose of developing the clay
industry of Kansas is to be begun this
summer under the direction of Prof.
f. Haworth, head Of the geological de-
partment. A special appropriation
has been made for thi2 work, and the
work of investigator as TO the extent
and kind of cl>< deposits IN the state
will occupy an entire year. A party
of biologists will leave the university
in a few days to visit in several sec
tons of the state for the purpose of
determining where the most extensive
clay deposits are located.
A large kiln for the burning of the
clay is to be erected at the university
and samples are to be shipped in from
all over the state and tested to find
their commercial value. A class is
also to be organized in the fine arts
school for the purpose of making all
kinds of artistic models out of the
clay. Prof. Haworth is convinced
that ceramic industries can be made
one of the greatest resources of the
state with the proper encourage
ment

Moves to ArmourdaIe.

Atchison.-The main offices and the
entire plant of the Uncle Sam Oil COM
pany may be removed from Atchison
to Armourdale. The company has Sc
cured an option on a tract OF land
containing about ten acres on 18th
street in Armourdale which will ex-
pire in sixty days. General Manager
Goebel, in commenting upon the re-
port, said that steps had been taken
to remove the plant, for the reason
that the condition of the road from
the refinery to Atchison is bad and
the accumulation of demurrage on the
cars at the switch near the refinery
is such big item of expense that the
company cannot afford to do bust
ness under such circumstances.
