MATERIAL FOR THE NEW

The long looked for material for
the new stand pipe arrived today
and is being hauled to the location
on Thirteenth street where 1t will
be erected Work will commence at
once and rushed to completion.
The water pressure on the hill
has been good so far this season,
due no doubt to the installation Of
the many meters in all parts Of town,
resulting in the more careful use
OF water. Lawns and gardens are
beginning to suffer and more water
will be used. 1t will be a great bene-
fit to. water users to have the new

CHEAPER ALUMINIUM is
SAVING WORLDS IRON.
White Metal Has Dropped from Dol
lar an Ounce to 25c Pound.

From cooking utensils to motor
cars, use OF aluminium is increasing
marvelously, and in many instances
is employed where iron was formerly
supreme. This appears from the last
annual statistical abstract of the
United States, which gives the pro-
duction in this country in 1910 as
47,734,O0O pounds, valued at $S,-
1851 This is a gain of thirty
eight per cent over the year previous,
when 34,21O,0O0 pounds were con-
sumed, and of three hundred and
twenty-seven per cent since five years
earlier, or 1905, when consumption
was only 1l,347,00O pounds.
Constant reduction In the cost OF
aluminium is making 1t possible for
this metal to displace iron, thus pre-
serving the already too rapidly-dis-
appearing supplies of the latter met
al. Fortunately, aluminium oxides are
the commonest of all earths, and the
supply of the metal is practically un-
limited when a cheap process of ex-
traction is discovered Commercial
production of aluminium was first
undertaken in this county in 1855.
1t sold then for $50 a pound. Within
generation it cost dollar an
ounce. 1t has now been brought
down to twenty-five cents a pound.
Reduction In the price of aluminium
has been obtained through location
of the chief aluminium plant in the
United States at Niagara Falls. The
aluminium industry is one of several
requiring large power that have late
ly taken advantage of cheap cleo
trical energy produced from the cat
aract to lower the cost of manufac-
ture, and thus the cost OF living for
the entire country.
In the effort to meet the demands
of industry, nearly 100000 horse
power Ia now generated at Niagara
Falls, but so immense is the rivers
flow that the amount of water d.
yerted seems to have had no appre-
ciable effect upon the majesty or
beauty of the cataract. Indeed the
new treaty for internationally safe
guarding Niagara allows the United
States 400 cubic feet a second more
than now, surveys by government
engineers having determined that use
of this additional amount would low
err the American falls less than an
eighth of an inch.

The ministerial meeting took up
some live topics and among them
were:
-~'Shuuld there not be a greater

especially among the Bishops and
Elders? How can It be secured and
Maintained?" Elder c. N. Hostetter,
Washington Boro, Pa, J.. Book, Ra-
mona.
Should our Brotherhood encour-
age young peoples meetings? Give
reasons. How should they be con-
,Gucted?" H. X. Crider, Philadelphia,

Should water baptism be deferr-
ed when a soul is converted? Give
scriptural evidences. Is the highest
consistency to immerse in cold win
ter weather without removing the
chill from the water, when such pro-
visions could be nader" Elder Is Il
Trump, Polo. ILL.,; Elder Girvin

SPRAYING Elm TREES HAS
COMMENCED IN ABILENE

The article in the Reflector the
other evening has caused several eiti-
Gems to investigate their elm trees
and almost without exception they
have found them damaged by the
coddlIng moth. J. J. Kuglef and
c. e. Rugh on North Buckeye have
had the elms on their lots sprayed
and many more should follow suit.
Abilene has many fine elm trees and
it would be a calamity TO lose any of
them for a lack Of proper attention.
A properly equipped gasoline engine
sprayer could find plenty to do all
summer and people would be glad
to learn where to employ such an
outfit to do the work.

OIL From the Seeds Is Said TO ne
Valuable.


And II remains tbt a Iunglishman
to discover the real worth OF the
sunflower. the otfIcial flower Of
Kansas.
Jayhawkers have long been accus-
toned to look upon the flower as
sort OF sacred emblem of the state
and feeder for sparrows and chick
ems but an Englishman has discovered
much more profitable method OF
disposing of the seeds than this.
The following is the scheme with
the figures to verify the statement:
Considering the ease with which
the sunflower can be grown. and the
value of the resulting seeds, one
would expect to find that some re-
cent work had been done dealing
with this plant. The fact that the
sunflower seeds are excellent for fat
tening poultry land formerly the
birds fed upon the seeds by simply
placing the heads OF this flower on
the ground), considering the import
ance of poultry rearing in many ru-
raj districts, for this reason alone
some experiments should have been
undertaken.
An approximate estimate of the
value sunflower seeds would produce
can be arrived at theoretically. The
produce (seeds only is approximate
'ly one ton per acre, yielding by pres
sure so gallons Of oil and 1900 lbs.
OF oil cake. Sunflower seeds and cake
have the following composition:
Sunflower sssd-Protein, 12.1; SUI
gars. 2O.S; oil, 30.
Sunflower seed rake-Protein al
q; sugars, 1915; oil, 1913.
TIE oil, pressed seeds only. and in
Guiding. a portion fit for edible pur-
poses, even II taken at the very low
figure of Is, d per gallon, would
from SO gallons, amount to pounds
IS. Assuming that the remainder
was sold as cake" this worked out
on the basis of 2s. Sd. per unit Of :
protein and oil, and Is. d. per unit
for sugars would yield Z pounds per
ton roughly the figure on a low yet
scientific basis. yielding the price the
cake would bring per ton for COM
position only, and neglecting all 9TH
err factors. At 2 pounds per ton,
1900 lbs. would yield pounds 15c
In other words, the figure per acre,
assuming that the whole of the pro-
duce is converted into cake" and the
oil is extracted by pressure only,
would be II pounds ($55), based
on a very low estimate.
The fertilizing value of the ash
in the stalk has been ig-
nored, but the figures quoted will
indicate that the possibilities Of sun
flower seed being grown at a profit
are bright. There is also the factor
of the sunflower being grown over
another crop, but this and other mat
tiers could be discovered II the ques-
ton was taken up and adequately ex-
perimented with.
The growth of oil-seeds would not
only benefit the farmer, but would
be Of great importance to the oil and
oil cake industries Jour-

independents lireak Up Rlg Nesting
Addressed By YOliva.


At zion City wednesday night
there was riot when the followers
81 Wilbur Glenn voliva, the pro-
claimed successor OF John Alexander
Dowie, and members OF the indie
pendent faction met before Zion
home. Abilene has several former
citizens who now reside there, among
them are MIR. and Mrs. w. H, Rocke-
Teller. and the following account OF
the conflict will be of interest here:
A meeting which overseer Voliya
was addressing was broken up. His
followers forsook the pew and pray
err book for the battlefield. Heads
we're broken and noses were blood
led. When the independents, over
come because of lack of numbers,
fled from the scene the followers
of voliva returned to their hymns
and their preaching.
The most seriously hurt were
Chris Covington the negro body
guard OF Voliva. who led the first
attack against the independents. and
Dan. Williams, one OF the young men
who was arrested a few days ago at
the behest of VoIiva's followers for
violation OF the anti-smoking ordin-
ance. Covington was beaten about
the face and body and knocked sense-
less In the first onslaught. Williams
also was beaten up by the incensed
Zionites.
Last night was the date for the
monthly reception at Zion home.
Several hundred of "the faithful
had gathered to. receive words OF
comfort and support from the lead
er in the trying times of war against
the tobacco evil. Occasionally cat
calls and jeers from across the street
disturbed the leaders remarks.
Voliva had reached the height OF
a denunciation of the tobacco users !
when his followers became aware of
feet on the porch outside.
Several Vollvaites when to window
and peered out. They saw little
band of smokers, each showing a
glowing cigar, pipe or cigaret,
lounging, laughing and talking.
The Independents at the same time
caught sight of their enemies and
started a mock religious meeting. 7
Then things happened. Covington
ran out through the door and started
to do battle with the invaders. He
knocked some down before several
men grabbed and held him while
others pounded him in the face and ,
distributed kicks about his body.
Then Capt Walker, staunch friend
of Voliva, led out a rescuing party.
Fists thudded against faces and bod !
les for a lively few minutes.
Come on and sail I'M" the captain
shouted to the Ziunites who remained
within the house, and the invitation
was accepted. The fighting mass OF
men struggled over the lawn of
Zion home, the independents grad
ualIy. breaking ground before the
greater numbers of Voliva's follow
ers.
Finally the smokers decided they |
had had enough and beat a rapid |
retreat across the street. There they !,
rallied and invited the Zionites to
come on as messengers were sent
to round mp other independents and
bring reinfDrcemenMs.
