A jolt For The Potash Trust.
Evening Wisconsin.

Evening Wisconsin.
The German potash monopoly,
which has been carrying matters with
q high hand, turned white and shook
with fear last week when the cable
carried news of Secretary Wilson's
interview regarding potash fields in
the United States. The story caused
9 fall in the shares of the Kali syndi.
cate on the Berlin boerse.
Germany's paying export Of potash
to the United States lately has been
valued at s12, 600, 900 to s15, OOO, 900 per
annum. People connected with chemi-
cal companies in New York confidently
assert that the United States eventual.
ly will produce all the potash required
for domestic consumption. The esti-
mates of the geological survey as to
the contents of the newly located
western beds warrant the anticipation
that q time will come when this coun.
try will compete with Germany in
supplying theldemand for potash in
foreign markets.

How CeNuloid Is Made.

Celluloid Is one of the commonest
substitutes for ivory, bone, hard rub.
Der, coral, etc., and it is used for
hundreds of common, everyday arti.
Giles.
Familiar as all of US are with cellu.
loid articles, very few know just how
this substance Is manufactured or stop
to realize that it is the first cousin to
nitro.glycerine, one of the best known
high explosives.
Celluloid is a compound of cellulose
or vegetable fibrine, reduced by acids
to gun cotton. Cellulose is found in all
vegetable life, particularly in young
plants. 1t is q starch like substance.
Cotton fiber is cellulose to a large
percentage.
After the cotton fiber is cleansed it is
submerged In acids which quickly re.
duce it to cellulose In form of q thick
pasty, semt'transparent mass. Cam.
phor is added to further thicken it and
the required ~coloring matter IL
thoroughly mixed in, after which the
celluloid Is moulded by heat and
pressure into various useful and orna.
mental objects such a. combs. boxes,
pins. paper cutters, ornaments, etc.
Celluloid is moulded while hot, and
being of q very infammable nature,
the maintenance of an exact and con-
slant temperature Is absolutely essen
tial In order to eliminate the danger OF
igniting It. In the old days the mix.
ture was heated by high pressure
steam but lately electric heaters have
been devised which eliminate the leaky
steam pipes, the transmission heat
losses and the danger of explosion.

Officer Killed BY Outlaw.

BIG TIMBER, November l7.-Joseph
Brannin, q deputy sheriff, was shot
and killed last night at Melville, 20
miles from here while attempting to
make an arrest. The deputy took Mel
Jewell, an ex.convict into custody. A
friend of Jewell named Jackson, inter-
fered and grappled with Brannin. In
the fight Brannin was forced to use
his revolver and wounded Jackson,
whereupon Jewell shot the officer to
death. A moment later he was fleeing
to the hills on his horse which was
tied outside the saloon in which the
ARRAY occurred. Officers are chasing
him.
Jewell has been imprisoned for cat.
tie stealing and is regarded as q des.
pera man.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. q, 1911.
WILSON'S GOOD RECORD.

The rumor that Secretary Wilson
IL about to resign from President
Taft's cabinet will not down. 1t is
persistently renewed from time to time,
and usually has been ignored by both
the president and the secretary. Tues
days dispatches repeated the rumor,
for they stated that the report was
again current about the capital tina,
MI. Wilson would resign as soon as
the president could decide upon his
successor.
"Tama Jim" Wilson is an old man,
and it is reasonable to suppose tina,
he desires to retire in the near future,
says the Butte Intermountain. For
fourteen years he has occupied a po-
sition in the cabinet as secretary OF
agriculture, having been first appoint
ed by President Mckinley. He re-
NAMED in the cabinet through the
administration of Mr.. Roosevelt and
was reappointed by President Taft.
On at least two former occasions
when it was reported that the secre.
tary of agriculture was about to re.
sign, be was under more or less criti-
cism from men who sought through
him to discredit the Taft administra.
ton. Under those circumstances Mr..
Wilson could not be expected to retire.
He is q born fighter, and, next to his
profession, he loves q fight.
No amount of criticism from politi-
cal enemies can dim the notable rec.
ord of the old Iowa.agpiculturist. Mr..
Wilson has done more to advance
agriculture in America than any other
man of his time. He had achieved
success along the lines of scientific
farming before he attracted the atten-
ton of President Mckinley. In his
own state he had done much to inter-
est farmers In better seed and better
methods generally. As regent of the
Agricultural College of Iowa at Ames
he helped to make that institution the
foremost school of its kind in the
world.
AS secretary of agriculture he has
been foremost in advancing the indus
try. The northwest has felt the impe-
tus OF his work, but to no section of
the country was!his influence confined.
The cotton and rice growers of the
south, the fruit growers of the Pacific
coast, and the cornlraisers of the mid
die ststes-all have been wonderfully
helped by the secretary and his
agents. II Mr.. Wilson ~retires at this
time be will have the satisfaction OF
knowing that he served longer than
any other cabinet officer and that be
performed his duty we'll.

The Great Giyer.

The late Hon. David Davis once
said: Each year every local paper
gives from 500 to $4,000 in free
lines for the benefit of the commun-
ity in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The
local editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his town than
any other ten men, and in fairness,
man with man, he ought to be sup
ported, not because you happen to
like or admire his writings; but be-
cause a local paper is the best in
vestment community can make. 1t
may not be brilliant or crowded with
great thought, but financially it is
more of benefit to a community
than a preacher or a teacher. Under
stand us now, we do not mean NOR
ally or intellectually but financially,
and yet on the moral question you
will find the majority of local papers
are on the right side of the question.
Today the editors of local papers do
the most work for the least money
of any men on earth. Subscribe for
your local paper, not as a charity
but as an investment"

STORAASLI RELEASED.
Luther College Ball Player Released
From Dubuque Because No
Place For Him.

Gynther Storaasli was declared q
free agent in base ball circles on
Friday morning, when the former
DEBORAH college captain and first
baseman was given his unconditional
release by Manager Rowland of the
Hustlers. Inexperience, coupled with
the fact that the Dubuque leader
was compelled to play Storaasli out
Of his position, were given as the
reasons for the disposition of the
player. The youngster has all the
earmarks of conner, but playing
him in the outfield, as Manager Row.
land was compelled to do If the play
er was to be used at all would prove
rather risky at this stage Of the
race.
When Storaasli entered the offices
of the base ball association Friday
morning he appeared downcast. A
few words of encouragement by
Rowland, however, served as a pleas
ing stimulant, and the player will
leave for other parts, confident that
he has the ability and determined
to make good. While nothing was
stated as to a likely string attached
to Storaasli, it is probable that Man
ager Rowland has some sort of a
label on the player, and chances are
that the collegian will be in these
parts when spring rolls around next
year He has the reputation of be-
ing a classy stick wielder. and while
not in Jack Beatty's class as a first
baseman, is said to cavort about the
initial base in lively fashion. Stor,
aasli did not state his plans for the
future, but it may be that he will
play Independent ball in the vicinity
of his home at DEBORAH during the
remainder of the season unless pick
ed up by some remaining Three-l
club for a trial.-Dubuque Tele-

How to Kill Potato Bugs.

l.. C. Van DUSSELDORF, the local
champion gardner, with seventeen
years experience in wars upon pOta-
to bugs and other crawling things
which are enemies of the garden,
states that the proper mixture for a
solution of paris green is one pound
of the deadly poison to every thirty
gallons of water. Mr.. Van Dussel-
dorp says he has used paris green
mixture of that consistency for sew
enteen years and has found the ratio
he has given to be just what is
needed. If you use more paris green
than a pound to thirty gallons it
will kill the plants, and if you use
less you will not kill the bugs
