these forays an aged physician. DIR.
William Beanes OF Upper Marlbor-

British soldiers for wanton destruc-

Doctor Beanes was a close friend of

within range, lent apparent corrobora-

NEW INDUSTRY IS DEVELOPING AT TEMPE
Skins and Thorns of Barrel Cactus
 Now Extensively Used

During the past winter there have been gangs of men working in the vicinity of Tempe, gathering barrel cacti for the purpose of shipping the skins and thornS to Chicago, where they are used to manufacture vegeta- ble ivory, and the best of the thorns are used for needles for talking ma chimes. This is an industry that has not been considered very greatly. It is a new one in fact.
 Only one kind of cactus can be used for this. It is known scientific ally as the Bisnegia cactus. Charles Steele, who has had the gangs of men working. has recently shipped two car loads of the product, 2S,000 pounds in all. It was shipped to the Tuska Manufacturing company in Chicago.
 The demand for vegetable ivory is increasing so fast, that at times it seems almost impossible to secure enough of it. only a few vegetables produce the righ constituents for it's manufacture. The Tuska company is laying plans whereby the first pro- cesses of manufacture can be done m Tempe, thereby saving much freight charges to the east.
 The product is extensively used for piano keys. billiard and pool balls high grade buttons and the back of toilet sets.
