deep hatred from the southerners
who were equally determined to make
Kansas a slave state. So it happened
when Lawrence was raided in 1856
that one of the first buildings tC
Which the torch was applied was the

In the fall of 1854 he removed to

was not until Charles Goodyear dis
covered how to vulcanize rubber that
the rubber industry amounted to any,
thing.
The Impression that a visitor to a
rubber goods factory carries away
with him is one of lot of rollers that
seem to be doing nothing but tearing
to pieces and rolling up into shape,
over and over again, the rubber as it
develops from it's crude to it's final
composition. Some rollers are cold.
some are hot; some are wet. some
are dry; some fitted with calenders
that impress a pattern on the finished
sheets, and others seem little more
than laundry machines. Crude rub
Der has to be cleaned. It is softened
in boiling water for an hour or so
and then run between two rolls, one
OF which revolves little faster than
the other. Over both of these there
plays a steady stream of water.
The rubber comes out in long, fiat
sheets and is carried into drying
rooms, where the air is kept in con-
slant motion by fans. Every bit of
moisture must be removed, and this
takes sometimes as much as two
weeks. When throughly dried the
rough sheets go 70 other machines,
from which they emerge soft and
smooth. After having been thoroughly
rolled the rubber is compounded with
various ingredients, litharge and whit
ing being the two commonest. Then
1t is sent under still other rollers and
kneaded and worked together into a
homogeneous mass. # the rubber is
combined with a textile fabric the rub
Der and cotton cloth go through an
other series of rollers, entering separ.
ately, but coming out as one.

LAND OF RUBBER
Valley Of the Amazon Produces
Best in the World.
Industry, Now One Of +he Greatest.
Practically Dates Back to 1923,
Though Product First Came
Here in 1900.

The best rubber in the world comes
from the valley of the Amazon, and in
known as Para, so called after the city
which is the principal gateway of ex-
port. This region is densely forested
and intersected by myriad Of rivers
It has a soil Of Incompatible richness,
is watered by never-failing rains and
warmed by the equatorial sun. The
first cost of crude rubber is about IS
cents pound. BY the time it reaches
the worlds markets it is worth about
$3.50 a pound. In Brazil it is called
"black gold" Then there are the low
er grades of rubber That which
comes from the far east costs on the
average about 25 cents a pound and
sells for SITS pound. Of late years
a great deal of this low grade rubber
has come from the guayule plant, a
shrub which grows in the desert up
lands of Mexico. Its thick bark con-
tains about 10 per cent. of rubber.
Certain German and Americans aft
er many experiments, have perfected
machinery to extract this rubber gum,
and have succeeded in adding about
22,OO0,00O pounds to the worlds prod
uct Of crude rubber.
There are ten rubber trusts" in the
world. Five of them are in the United
States, three in Germany, one in Rus
STA and one in Italy. They represent
amalgamations of some fifty Of the
rubber factories of the world. There
are still about $50 that are not ANAL
gamated.
India rubber first came to the Unit
ed States in 1900, but although a pat
ent is recorded as early as 1918 for
making an elastic varnish out of the
strange new product, nothing seems to
have come Of it until 1923, when q

him from South America a pair of
Enthusiastically gilded rubber boots. On

more, which he sold at SIS pair. It

Wolves StartIe Town

Palmyra, Mo.-Armed men and snap
ping dogs pursued a large gray wolf
through the streets the other day. Aft
er long chase the animal was shot
and killed by Louis Nelson, deputy
game warden, where it stood at bay in
front of a hedge row.
The wolf was captured when it was
cub with six others, in the Salt riv-
er hills of Rails county. County As
SCISSOR Milton Phillips took it home.
When it grew older it killed all the
cats on Phillips farm. He then turn
ed it over to a Palmyra resident.
Yesterday the wolf broke. its chain
and ran out on the street. It was pur.
sued to the open country.
Nelson claimed the SIS bounty paid
by the state for pelts.

"TOP 70 TH' WORLD"
 AT THE BOTTOM

If "The Top of the World" is any, thing like that presented at the Elks Theater last night Dr. Cook and Coia- modore Peary were chumps for ever going as far as they did, or Say they did. to find it, Luckily those who turned out last night to see the per- formance were few. It was the sec ond visit of the musical comedy here. The theater goers of this city were stung two years ago. But the bee doubled up last night and some of them were stung twice in the same place. Of all the supposed musical comedies of merit "The Top of the World" Is about the worst yet in- flicted upon lovers of music and com- edy. The scenic effects were satis- factory and had it not been for the several beautiful vocal numbers Of Al McGarry, whose strong baritone voice broke the monotony of the even- ing, and the dainty little Hazel Ric }, whose babyish manner and graceful dances won admiration, the few who were there might have gone home. Bailey and Austin, the original stars of the cast, failed to twinkle. Their horse play" was silly and free of even enjoyable comedy. The collie dogs were really good and the big polar bear was better than the c.A :.
 girls. And by the way of all the chorus work-well, in that bunch of girls who made up that 'Top of the World" chorus last night can sing, the writer of this is the biggest switch engine that ever came down the Cotton Belt. One of the big fat maidens on the left can yell and the others seemed to have equally as healthy lungs. The company also in- flicted the musica1 comedy-so cal
