WORLDS SUPPLY OF NITROGEN

The exhaustion of soils in the Unit
ed States has increased with great
rapidity in recent years, and has re-
suited in the establishment of great
fertilizer industries, there being in
vested in factories for this purpose
alone in the United States about
$70,000,0O0 and yet the fertilizer in
dustry is said to be only in its infan-
cy. The worlds chief supply of nj
trogen comes from the Chilean desert,
from which was exported in one re-
cent year $4,000, 900 worth of nitrate,
practically 50 per cent. Of which was
used in agriculture. During the last
decade the expectation Of Chilean nj
trate has increased 60 per cent in
quantity, so per cent. in price, and 250
per cent in total value The Chilean
gOvernmtnt estimates that the nitrate
fields will be exhausted in about 45
years
The only other material sources OF
nitrogen are by-products of other in
dustries in no way connected with
agriculture. In the United States
these by-products come chiefly from
packing houses in the form of blood
and tankage, and from gas plants and
coke ovens in the form of sulphate of
ammonia Fish scrap, cottonseed
meal, animal skins, and even the offal
from whaling ships, are used by the
fertilizer manufacturers for their nj
trogen content In fact, the world is
being secured for nitrogenous sub
stances for use as fertilizers, and the
supply in available form is entirely
inadequate to the demand.

SpLENDOR OF BRIDES WEDDING
GOWN MAKES PlTTSBURG-
ERS GASP

In the east on their honeymoon,
which is TO include trip to Germany,
Switzerland and South America, are
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Baldwin Schwab,
who were recently married in Pitts
burg in a ceremony which, though
simple, had a touch of lavish Oriental
splendor that made ever Pittsburgers
open their eyes.
The bride was Kate Lochner de Viii
liers, South African heiress, who a
little more than year ago accompan-
led her brother, A. Lochner de Viii
liers, when he came from South At
rica to claim a bride from Pittsburg' 5
most opulent set, Clara Hussey. The
bridegroom is a son of Mrs. Herman
Schwab of New York and Merrick,
J.. |.
The bride of this recent wedding
was attired in magnificent regal
gown of cloth of silver adorned and
incrusted with ropes and garlands OF
silver roses, sOftened only by a drap-
cry of exquisite chiffon, and wearing
d huge court train, held to the shoul-
ders by diamond butterflies. She
showered gifts of peerless and price
less rubies on her attendants. She
also wore a real lace veil that reach
ed to the very end OF her immense
train, and vet it was none OF this that
made Pttsburgers gasp.
At the coronation in England Of
King George and Queen Mary the
then Miss Villiers was presented by
the South African representative, and
she started a bit of coronation gossip
by appearing in a court gown that had
a daring slash in the hem of the skirt
that gave a glimpse of her feet and
ankle, and a rather generous view of
the silk stocking.
On her bridal day she repeated the
performance as to dress, the slash on
this occasion being even more pro
nounced This was due 10 the eXag
geratedly tight skirt, which. of course,
on account of Queen Mary's prejudice,
had not been allowed at court. With
an eye 10 accentuate this striking fea-
ture of the scant skirt bouquet of
silver rosebuds and leaves appeared
lust over the brides ankle.
Mrs Schwab's going away gown
also was well noted by her friends.
II was of taupe eharmeuse with tunic
of accordeon pleated chiffon of the
same shade Pierrette ruffles Of
point d'esprit lace adorned the bod
ice, and the costume was trimmed
with large, white buttons. Her taupe
straw hat was faced with cerise roses
and lilies of the valley.-New York

FAREWELL TO SUMMER

Sweet Summer farewell! Your roses
are dead
The glory and charm Of your presence
are fled;
The herald of Autumn your forests
confess
All nature is donning somberer
dress.
Sweet Summer, farewell! The swal-
lows are flown
To bask in the warmth of SUMMER
zone;
No longer the robins their melodies
trill,
And hushed is the note of the lone
whippoorwill.
Sweet Summer, farewell. Though the
song of the bird
Through forest and meadow no longer
is heard;
Though the JOY and the gladness Of
sunshine depart,
The memory that fingers is dear to
the heart
The bloom of the meadow, the blush
of the rose,
The song of the brook as it merrily
flows
Deep, deep in the heart shall the mem
ory remain.
Till the dear, gladstone Summer is
with us again.

COL. n. l.. ANDERSON WELL
PLEASED

Back from Ocala, where a meeting
of the state executive committee of
the progressive party was held Thurs
day. Col. H L. Anderson, recognized
as the head Of the party in Florida,
expressed his satisfaction with the
outlook, and declared that each mem
Der OF the organization at Ocala was
enthusiastic over the prospects for a
large vote for Roosevelt next Novem-
her
Discussing the meeting and other
matters, Col Anderson said:
The progressive state central com
mittee met in OcaIa yesterday for the
purpose of organizing a state cam
paign. There was a full meeting of
all the committeeman from the va
rious counties in the state and nearly
all of the states congressional and
electoral candidates who were nomi-
mated at the Ocala convention July
q last
The business done by the commit
tee was largely hearing reports from
the various counties in the state, and
the progress of the work of organiza-
ton and general consultation The
committee, in behalf of the progress s.
i've party, adopted and ratified the
platform adopted by the progressive
national convention at Chicago.
"a speaking campaign covering
the entire state was arranged to be-
gin at Pensacola, on the first day of
October next. The itinerary of the
speakers of the progressives covers
all the principal towns and cities in
the state, and will ~ al the time
between October 1st and the Novem-
Der election. A number of distinguish
ed and eloquent political orators will
canvass the whole state and expound
the doctrines and policies advocated
by the progressives. There were
thirty-five members Of the state COM
mittee present, and great deal of
enthusiasm was apparent throughout
the whole of the meeting.
THE committeeman realized the
size of their job in organizing a new
party in the state, but all of them
expressed the greatest interest in the
work and their full belief that the
progressive party will, after the No
vember election, change it's name
from the third party to the second
party in Florida In a number of
counties, including Duval, the pro-
gressives will put full ticket in the
field for the county offices, and the
prospects are good for the election of
several county officers in the state,
including four or five members of the
legislature. The people of Florida
may look for a strong. vigorous fight
by the progressives s"-Jacksonville

articles and the taxing system. It's
only by such means that reforms are
ever accomplished.
The commission takes this oPpor-
tunity TO express its appreciation OF
the public spirit Of the editor Of this
paper. shown by his giving OF
valus able space without other com
ensation than the satisfaction OF
performing valuable public service.
AS stated above by tho Minnesota
Tax Commission, the knowledg &c
possessed by the average citizen con-
corning the methods OF assessing
property and the objects for which the
tax money is expended is SO very in
definite that tho most of US feel that
IA < reform is necessary wehave no
idea how to bring it about. For that
reason we have arranged with the
State Tax Commission to print
9 ,ries of articles which should prove
interesting, instructive and illuminat'
lag. The article, however, will fail OF
the desired effect if our readers are
not sufficiently alive TO the question
to discuss it. We hope that you will
do so, not only among yourselves, but
in public: write us for publication on
the matter, put up questions to the
Tax Commission and let US get
together on this vital subject.
