PavingCompieted
Extensive Addition Made
East Jordan Pavement

Work on the extension paving of
Main and Esterly Streets was complet.
ed last Saturday afternoon-jnst as the
big storm was setting in.
Owing to the lateness of the season
in finally letting the contract, the sue
cessful bidders-Clark & Rogers of this
city-were compelled to contend al
times with freezing weather and snow
Considering the handicap, the work
under the management of Contractor
A. G. Rogers, has gone forward with
expediency and is credit to his efforts
An expert in cement was in charge OF
the tinker" and City Engineer H. L.
Winters looked after the job in the
city's interest. The addition to our
pavement is credit to our progressive
city and the contractors, Clark & Ro.
gers.
The bid which won the job was for
$6l11.39, and work Of excavating was
started the week of Sept. 18th. Work
completed Nov. Sth.

ma, the Princess Stock company
will offer costume" play, or
romantic drama, to its patrons.
Beginning with the usual bargain
matinee tomorrow, Beverly of
Graustark" will occupy the stage

ton it has held a high place in
popular favor along with when
Knighthood Was in Flower"
The story concerns the adven-
lures of Miss Beverly Calhoune, a
pretty American girl, who goes
abroad to visit Princess Yetive of
Graustark. Miss Calhoun's expe-
riences are exciting and involve a

his throne. The American girl be-
comes mixed up in the intrigues
of court in lending assistance to
her friend, the princess.
Miss Florence Bell will be seen
as Beverly Calhoun. Leo Lind
hard will be opposite her in the
role of the prince. There will be
several new faces, among whom
will be Loring Kelly, former To-
cal stock favorite.

And did you ever run over
the California coast to Santa
Catalina Island for an outing?
IL SO, did you notice the great
fields of a water plant called
"kelp" that grows in huge beds
all along that coast? Well, the
Department of Agriculture has
discovered that we have in this
weed possible source of potash,
to the value of $4O,O00,000
year, IL We choose to extract it.
And out of the weed, too, would
come by-products like iodine,
Glue, shellac and paper. Proba-
bly, these things will in part or
in whole pay for the work, and
the potash may be clear gain.
Isn't it fine to discover so much
food of which we were unaware
in the sea? For potassium is
food, reconsideration the crops
have worked it up for us. The
Geological Survey, too, have re-
Gently found small deposits of
potash in the government do
marlborough for 80 years.
The German potash princes,
and the German government have
been a little stingy about their
potash, lately. We have had
fuss with them about it. And
don't blame them for looking
closely after so important a mat
ter. But I'd like to see our gov
eminent develop our potash in
dustry by opening up our mines
and setting up works to make
potash out of kelp-for the bene-
hit of the human race, whose
very flesh must be made of the
shiploads of potash come from
the kelp of California to the hum
cry lands of the East through
the Panama canal, from those
government works.

Shall We Starve for Potash?

tain plants of the clover tribe are
taking it from the air all tine
time when given a chance, and
storing it in the soil. So that
scare ended.
Let us now look into the hold
of the Ship and see how we are
supplied with potassium.
But first, what is potassium ?
1t Is the element which gives its
name to potash-wnich anyone
may make from the lye OF wood
ashes. 1t is found in the ashes
of any field crop, when the plant
Is burned. 1t is plain, then, if il
is a part of every one of these
| Plants, that it must exist where
the plant can reach it, or no crop
can grow. Potassium is not found
in the air as is nitrogen-so ii
must be obtained from the soil.
In the grain of a hundred
bushel crop of corn, there are 10
pounds of potassium. An aver
age soil contains enough at this
rate to make $500 crops. No
need to worry then? Well, is 1t
any less serious for the race to
end for lack of food In $500
years, than in one hundred? Or
be sent crusading and Staying
after new lands in the year y.
d. 10000 rather than A. D. 1000?
If we are wasting what the Pas
sengers must some day need, does
it make any real difference that
we shall not be present to wit
ness their sufferings? 1t does
not seem so to me. / think we
should be as alive to suffering in
Europe or Asia today, as if ii
were in the next room; and as
solicitous for the happiness OF
the worlds Passengers a thou
sand years hence, as next week.
Especially as our acts make FOR
or against that happiness.
There are many lands even
now which need potassium. We
import millions of dollars of 1t
annually. AS "kainit" and in
other forms it is very important
article of commerce.
The lands which need 1t most,
are not yet under cultivation to
anything like the extent which
the future will require. AS the
Passengers on the good ship
Earth multiply and need land,
instead of swarming out against
other peoples, they will, let us
hope, draw off the water from
the lands that are only just SUB
merged and reclaim them. In
other words, we shall dram
swamps.
By doing this, We may dry up
additional deck room In the
United States so as to add to our
habitable heritage and area as
big as the three states of Ohio
Indiana and Illinois-about TO-
100000 acres.
We often say of a swamp.

est land in the world" This Is
always said, and. in a way it is
true. The land OF swamps Is
usually rich in nitrogen, In pnos-
phorus, and most other plant
foods. But watch a cornfield in
drained swamp, and you will
often see the corn turn yellow In
July, and you will note a failure
of yield. This spot Is not helping
to feed the Passengers. The thing
1t lacks is potassium. SO, as we
drain our swamps, and as We ex-
haust the potash from otner
lands, we shall need to put on
the fields untold tons or 1t. And
we do now buy it by the millions
of pounds.
Whence comes 1t? Nitrogen
we recall, comes mostly from
Chile, and the nitrate beds with
which Colonel North the Nitrate
King dreamed of ruling the
world in that dreadful day when
the world should crawl to him
on its belly for nitrogen-that
great and awful day of the LORD.
Is there a Potash King, then?
Yes, and no. If there is one, ne
is Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany.
The great potassium beds of the
world are in his realm. 1t lies
there, in beds 5000 feet deep
enough for the world for thou
sands of years, il there were no
other place from which to get II.
There are no sucn beds known
elsewhere.
But the Kaiser dreams no such
dream as that of Colonel North !;
for he knows that we can get
potash elsewhere. Not so cheap
ly, nor in such accessible masses.
but we can get it. There are
plenty of rocks that contain from
6 to s per cent of potassium-we
may be able to grind them and
extract their potassium and put
it on the land.

that we spin like a curved base

We are all in the same boat.

Ship is really our property
which our children must be made
of, and live upon?
We have learned that as ami
