While the monthly volume OF sales
in most lines OF business can be very

two things; first, the amount that will
be produced in Wayne county and
secondly the size OF the crop in the
places where the outside supply is usu-
ally secured
Thus, il there is an unusually heavy
strawberry crop in the South. the price
per quart will be relatively low. and
the sales ON the berry in Richmond
will be spondingly large. Price

Test You Might Try.

Any one VINO has to manage men or
things must be able quickly TO bring
order out of confusion. Test your
friends talent in this respect by writ
ing on your paper five words of spe-
c1al class, such rs the names of five
flowers or of five animals or OF five ia
nous poets, with the first letter always
in the right place, while the order of
the other letters is changed.
The person on whom you are expert
menting knows only to which class the
words belOng-whether they are the
names of animals or of flowers or Of
poets See how long it takes him to
write the five correct words in place OF
the misspelled ones

Restore Market House.
Agitation for a market house brought
about the remodeling of the building.
Where one time the modest Quaker
girls stood clothed in hoop skirts and
sun bonnets. men and women OF many
nationalities, now sell produce.
The place now is under the super
vision of Marketmaster Taylor, who
succeeded Marketmaster Waterman,
For the rental of the stalls and
booths in the market house the sum
OF $500 approximately is paid annual
forty-two stalls and the rental of them
is from $40 to S24 a season.
The closing of the market house this
year will depend largely upon climatic
conditions. If the weather is favor,
able and patrons continue TO visit it.
the institution will be kept open until
late in the fall.
Last year the stalls were given TO
the farmers tree OF charge. the city Of
ficials believing that the farmers could
afford to sell their produce cheaper
If they did not pay rent for the stalls
and in this way the high cost of living
would be partially reduced The farm
ers and persons who dispensed OF pro-
duce here, opposed this system. as
no provision was made 10 hold the
same location permanently. 1t was
contended that patrons never were
able TO locate the dealers with whom
they had been trading because the
first parties who arrived at the mar
ket house were given the choice of
stalls. The system was then changed
and the market tenders are now per-
mitted to purchase their stalls and
hold them for a season.

FERTILIZER REVIVES SOIL
DEPLETED BY MANY CROPS

with sulphuric acid, and the product
when dried is sold as superphosphate
or mixed with compounds of nitrogen
fertilizer.
The chief source of the fertilizer is
the Strassfurt mines in Germany. The
lime, soda, magnesium and other i'm
purities are removed by process too
complicated to be readily understood
by the average layman, and the pro-
duct sold In the form of sulphate of
potash or muriate of potash. Abe &C
tual potash named in potash products
or in complete fertilizer refers to the
amount of potassium oxide or actual
potash present in the sulphate or muir
ate and is only basis of comparison.
Nitrogen Is Costly.
Nitrogen Is the most costly of the
essential plant foods and Is found in
organic combination in animal matter,
as sulphate, a by-product of the coke
industry and as nitrate, mineral de-
post, the production Of which practi-
cally Is confined to Chile.
The organic sources of nitrogen are
the blood and debris from abattoirs
prepared for use by simply drying and
grinding, and the tankage from reduc-
ton plants, Tankage consists of the
carcasses of animals condemned as
unfit for food and reduced by steaming
under pressure to remove the fat This
is the most desirable form of nitrogen,
because it is in form easily oxidized
by the micro-organisms of the soil.
The farmer cannot depIete his land
and expect his crops To grow The use
OF good commercial fertilizer is gen
orally recognized and because it is
cheap it is the most practical manner
of enriching the soil

The amount of business annually is
estimated at $4,000. The output
OF the plant is sold principally in
this country. The firms agents are

The wool business of the concern is
extensive. 1t handles practically all
the wool sold in Wayne county and
a large part Of that sold in seven or
eight surrounding counties The
amount of wool handled annually is

MARKET HOUSE ONCE
AND PRISON
Housewives Lay in Vegetable
Supplies at Marketing
Center.

Though not as stately in appearance
as Spanish mission, the Richmond
market house, on the southwest cor.
ner OF South Sixth and A. has as in
teresting a history as any public build
ing in Wayne county.
There are no records in the office
of the city clerk to show who the city
officials were who ordered the struc-
ture built nor are there any residents
OF the city who remember the year in
which the proposition of its esta bllsh-
ment was Instituted, according to city
officials.
When first constructed, the novelty
of a market house was even at that
early date considered somewhat anti
quated. The practice of selling vege-
tables and country produce from an in

Used AS Church.
The proposition was not considered
practical here and was abandoned
within ten years after the original
structure was built. A few years be-
fore the Civil war the building was
transformed into a Methodist church
and was used as a place of worship for
several years.
The building was then strengthened
and used as stronghold for county
prisoners where inmates of the county
jail whiled away their weary hours of
the day cracking stones with which
the streets of Richmond were con-
structed. The prisoners were guarded
by the sheriff and his deputies and
