PEAT FIELDS


Some time ago it was reported that
Douglas County had a peat field that
was of commercial value. Since that
time little has been learned of this
nd. That such a field exists 10 one
doubts. as many fires have started in
years that have passed, which burned
until the overflow of water eXtln-
guished the smouldering sod.
A recent report issued by the Geo
logical Survey states that there is a
good field for peat both as fuel and
fertilizer. That it is neglected in the
latter instance is regretted by the
Government authorities.
In the past year comparatively lit
tie peat was mined. What came to
market met ready sale and in nearly
every instance it was sold in brickle..t
form. The fact that Holland sends
peat to America by the ship load Is
also stated in this report, and $685.
900 worth OF the material was landed
last year. If Douglas County has a
deposit of any magnitude it would
seem that something could be done
with the material.

A GOOD RELIGION.

The world needs a religion that
will pay cash and exact cash. IL
Is all right TO borrow money To
buy home, or GO into bus n 50, bu
1t is all wrong to sponge ones way
by owing those who need money
and every creditor needs money
in order to pay others, to pay his
own way. Many failures could be
avoided II cash is paid as expected.
A religion which burns into the soul
that no one must withhold from
another what Is due-must not
contract bills without being able to
pay them-would be pleasant In
the sight of men and angels. Not
TO pay ones debts Is crime. The
failure of one man to pay makes
another unwilling and third un-
able. The new religion should deal
nothing that be-
longs to the other fellow.
