FUILER'S EARTH IN 1911
Greatest Produc and Consump>
ton in History of the Industry

Fuller's earth, the clay-like
material that is used principally
as a filtering medium fer oils,
fats and greases, is found in 10
states, as shown by a report of
the United States Geological
Survey on the Production of
Fuller's Earth in 1911" now
going through the press. In
1911 fuller's earth was produced
in but seven states-Arkansas,
California, Florida, Georgia, Mas
Sachusetts, South Carolina and
Texas, and there were no un-
usual developments in the indus
try. New deposits are reported
from time to time, but in many
the high standard Of efficiency
required is not found and only
a few Of the deposits are worked.
OF the large number Of known
deposits but 13 we're worked in
1911. Some of the causes for
the small number Of workings, in
addition to the high standard of
quality required, are inaccessi-
bility of the deposits and lack of
capital.
Notwithstanding the compare
lively small number Of produc-
ers, the output has almost stead
lily increased from the small
beginning in 1895, when but
$500 short tons were reported,
valued at S41, 400. or S6 a ton, to
1911, when 1867 tons were
reported, valued at 1888, ,124, or
S9.41 a ton. The prospects for
1912, the report states, appear
to be bright and the production
for this year will probably ex-
ceed that of 1911. Ar1umber of
deposits which " e being ex
plotted in 1911 will be producers
in 1912.
The production for 1911 was
1875 short tons, or "A per cent
greater than the output of 1910,
and it was valued at S89,415, an

The following item of local in

issue Of the Arkansas Democrat:
Haunted by a delusion that
every person with flowers has
stolen them from her yard, Mrs
Ernestine 0. Earnest, Of 1928
Center street, has gone insane
and yesterday afternoon shot at
Mrs. 0. ". Coleman Of 1115
Main street as she passed her
residence with some flowers
that had been given her by one Of
the children in the neighborhood.
This is the second person within
the past week that Mrs. Earnset
has shotat thinking they had
stclen flowers from her yard.
The other was negro girl, who
was passing the Earnest resi-
dence. SergeantW w. G. McDaniels
and Auto Patral Driver Burril
Y. Rotenberry answered the
alarm turned in by the neigh
bOrS, and experienced cOnsidera-
ble difficulty in persuading the
woman to allow them to enter
the house. While the officers
were attempting to get into the
residence many spectators gath
cred and it was feared by the
police that a stray bullet might
wound some Of the crowd.

prominent families in Hitchcock.
When she was young her parents
sent her abroad, where she
finished a course in music. On
her return to tie United States
she went on the stage, but made
faill ! Of the venture. Later
she married, but her husband,
g railroad man, was killed in a
wreck. 1t is thought brooding
over the series Of misfortune
has caused her to 60 insane.

that he would attempt to have
her confined in the county hos
pital."
Mrs. Earnest formerly lived at
Washington. She is daughter
Of the late Prof, z. Weideman,
who came to this place from
Prussia shortly after the Civil
war, and she lived here at the
time she went abroad to study
music. Earnest Weideman, a

amount of havoc with Americans as

Pull" and the other Push" he
pushed the one which he should have

one which he should have pushed.

on the grass and threw orangepeel
on the pavement. He smoked in the

- delivery messenger, has been BAN
ished in disgrace from the federal
building. 1t isn't Jimmy's personality
that's wrong-he is. or was, of low
able and energetic disposition; it's
something else.
Jimmy's exile dates from the time
he went to the town of Jefferson with

merrily along. Jimmy's eyes fell on a
cute little black and white puppy
crouched on the sidewalk Across
Jimmy's mind flashed the idea that
he would corral that pup" in his mail
bag and take 1t home. He took after
the animal.
The chase finally wound up in
nearby thicket. Jimmy gave up after
n full five minutes endeavor. Disap-
pointed, he went back to the car line.

boarded:
The conductor changed the bell for
a start and then changed still harder
for a stop.
