Great POTASH Waste
Ii Barnyard Manure,

Wooster, Ohio, September 23s--Be-
Cause the European war has stopped
the importation OF potash salts from
Germany great effort iii being made
to raise the prizes OF commercial fer-
filters containing potash.
"A ton Of average manure contains
more than 10 pounds OF potash, and
not less than 10,00U,0 900 tons OF such
manure. containing q hundred million
pounds of potash, Is produced during
the six winter months when farm ami
mails ara being fsd HI stables and
barnyards III Ohio.
The investigations OF the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station have shown that,
when manure stands exposed "a An
open barnyard for three months,
. than half Its potash is washed
out by the rain.
Even when manure was produced
under cover the loss when catt1e
stood on al searth ioOr was 10 per
cent greater than when the fioor was
cemented.
A few Ohio farmers are preventing
this waste BY feeding under cover
on cemented floors and keeping the
ANU under cover until 1t car be
spread on the field. but II is q con-
seryatfye estimate that ~one.fourth of
all the potash produced annually In
Ohio barnyards and stables. or 26,-
900, 900 pounds, is absorbed by the
soil under the stable or yard, never
to be recovered or Ii washed out and
carried Into the rivers.
While this stream of potash has
been flowing from u barnyards, we
have been purchasing OF Germany
about one.fourth to- one-third as much
which has cost, by the time it has
reached Me farm in the fertilizer
sack, not much short OF a million
dollars annually.
The nitrogen and phosphorus Of ma
nure are not as quickly available as
the nitrogen Of nitrate Of soda and
the phosphorus of acid phosphate or
bonemeaI, hut the potash OF manure
comes chiefly from the liquid excre-
ment ad Is mostly soluble I'M water,
and pound OF potash in manure Is
worth at least twice ais much rs 8
pound OF the same substance In the
fertilizer sack.
While this stream has been flowing
from our harnyards, III has been car
rying with Ii both nitrogen and phos,
phorus, the loss In these elements
having a greater potential corn-pr0
ducing value than that Of the potash
so thatsthe total loss is amounting to
not less than $4,000, 900 annually.

SEARCHING SEA FOR
NAVAL TUG POTOMAC
Left Norfolk to Assist Fishing
Craft in Ice Flocs Of New
foundland.

NORFOLK. VA. Feb. S.-wireless
stations along the Atlantic coast from
Newport to Florida are tonight max
ing repeated efforts to locate the
naval tug Potomac, which is report
ed lost in the ice Off the coast OF
Newfoundland
The Potomac left this port several
weeks ago to assist fishing craft
caught in ice foes off Newfound-
land. The tug. for a time, was In
communication with wireless stations.
but for over a week nothing has been
heard from her
Tonight appeals were sent broad
cast asking All ships to take part In
the search.
The Potomac. the most powerful
tug owned by Uncle Sam, carried a
crew of thirty men. She is COM
manded by Boatswain Wilkinson.
Naval officers here say that the Po-
tomacs wireless plant is net as strong
as those carried by other government
vessels, and II is possible that she
cannot be heard by stations that are
trying to locate her. If she is not
heard from tomorrow a revenue cut
ter may be sent to search for her.

RUNAWAY AUTO
INJURIES YOUTH
Willie Goodwin Seriously Hurt
While Observing Edward

Little William Goodwin, the four
teen-year- son OF c. ". Goodwin,
Of Barton Heights. lies In the Stuart
Circle hospital In a precarious condi-
ton as a result of the accident, which
sent Eddie Broom's Little Blue Devir'
racing automobile crashing through
the fence surrounding the race track
at Byrd park yesterday afternoon
scattering spectators and bits of fenc-
ing in every direction.
The boy was sitting on the railing
OF the fence watching the speeding
car on the track, when the accident
occurred. Just before the low slung
automobile reached him on this round,
Broom is said to have swerved to
avoid hitting a motorcycle ahead OF
him. Before he could recover control
of his machine he had crossed the
track and had gone through the stout
fence, sweeping ali before him.

mentS.
Important Sections Concernins
Manufacture of Brandy. Beer.
Wines and Cider to Be Dis
posed of in House of Dele
gates Today.

Although the house refused d I
concur in ten of the amendments
which Were tackled onto the enabling
act by the senate SATURDAY..
the main bout is to be staged today,
when the beer. wine and cider clauses
are to be considered. These amcnd-
ments especially the beer clause, will
bring on one of the bitterest fights
of the session. and the brewery peo~
pie are holding their breaths in suG~s
pense.
That the house will refuse to con-
cur is a foregone conclusion. but the
fact that the senate passed the CLAUSE
allowing the manufacture OF wins
within the State TO be sold outside Ia
stipulated quantities, without much
opposition. has stimulated the iiuuOr
faction to strenuous measures in their
attempts to make the house do like
wise.
The beer clause, allowing the man
ufacture of beer Within the State ~
the breweries now in operation. for
the purpose OF shipping their prod
ucts to other States, will bring on
the most bitter fight.
Obnoxious Section.
This amendment is particularly OH
noxious and the drys have Expresses
a determination to kill 1t. but the
liquor side declares that If the wins
clause was passed without much or
position then beer should also be ~
lowed to be manufactured and they
viii fight to keep the ameniment IN
the bill 10 the last ditch.
Another amendment that will bring
on battle royal is the cider CLAUSE.
This provides that nothing in the
enabling act Is to be construed as az
fecting the present law concerning
the manufacture and sale of cider.
The country people are behind this
amendment, and the vets are partfc-s
| siiarIy anxious to have this stand.
What will be the result no man can
say, for the lineup on both sides
is bitter and many hot speeches will
be delivered.
Lobby Under Cover.
The whiskey lobby that ha.
thronged the halls Of the capitol and
! Murphys hotel, working day and
night in their attempts to kill the.
enabling act. was somewhat scattered
yesterday and Saturday. Although
they made little bones over their Ell
forts and showed little hesitation IN
stopping members of both branches
of the legislature in the open halls
for serious conversation. Saturday
they were somewhat backward and
only few were to be seen.
The cry has been a long ono, hut
even the most mighty must bow to-
public sentiment. and the wave az
temperance that has swept the State
from end to end has been felt In the
general assembly, and the members
will act accordingly.
Today's session promises to be one
of the warmest yet. When the bill
was first referred back for concur
renee Friday. the members did not
hesitate at personalities, and should
the fight take the course expected.
personalities will come in for large
| part Of the discussion.

important matters, including the Land
bill, similar to the Iowa injunction

ate The speaker of he house and
president of the senate both cordially
second this invitation TO hear DR..
Crafts.
DIR. Crafts addressed a large audi
ence at the y. NJ. c. Il. yesterday
afternoon. and impressed his hearers
with the Importance Of the movement
Of which he is an active head.
He stated that the condition of
things in Iowa since the injunction act
had been in operation for four years
was highly satisfactory.
With the approval of the congress
sional bill by President Wilson, on
Saturday. and the going into effect Of
similar one in St. Louis on March
LIST, DIR. Crafts said he was hopeful
the movement would socr still further
extend.
The Iowa injunction and abate-
ment law previously endorsed by ii
jury Of twelve legislatures and few
DAYS stree by congress. Is entitled to
rWlLt, strung support Al your isStSia-
ture from every decent citizen" said
DR.. Crafts. ain brief. this is it's story
In Iowa, where it originated four and
one-half years ago. /. Mayor Hanna
elected to enforce 1t eight months after
its passage by sixteen majority. was
re-ele-,ted after two years of enforce
ment by 5000 majority. .. The State
that same year elected the author of
the law, George Cosson, to enforce
1t as attorney-general by $4,000 ma
jority 8. The vice commissions of
Chicago. Minneapolis aud a score of
other cities, declare 1t is the best law
for suppressing prostitution. 4.
Twelve legislatures have also so de-
clared by adopting it. 5. The police
records of Des Moines show only one
fourth as many complaints Of prosti-
tutes invading the residential dis
tricts of the rich as when the segre-
gated district, so called, existed. 6.
Neither III Iowa nor anywhere else has
segregation really segregated. Virginia
must clean up or become the dump

those who refuse the kindly offer Of
help 10 a better life"

-MASS-MEETIAG TO
ABOLISH SALOONS
Rev. James Cannon Jr. Scores
Liquor Traffic in Petersburg
Assemblage of Churchmen.

Especial 10 The Richmond Virginian.l
PETERSBURG. VA. Feb. S.-The
faass-meeting II, the interest OF state
wide prohibition held IN the First
Baptist church this afternoon attract
ed large congregation OF foes of the
liquor evil.
The meeting was presided over by
Ex-Governor william Hodges Mann.
and was opened with prayer by Rev.
j. A. Mcclure, of the Second Preshy-
terrain church. Mr.. Mann. in the
course of his remarks. urged the sup
port of the Anti-Saioon league by the
people. and referred TO the time when
he inaugurated the fight against the
saloon evil in Virginia that only two
ministers. one Baptist and one Meth
odist, as far as he knew stood with
him.
The ex-governor stated that during
| his administration as governor of Viz
gsnia at least three-fourths Of the
crime committed within the state
could be traced directly to the liquor
evil.
In Introducing Rev James Cannon.
Jr., Judge Mann stated that it was
a surprise to him that the saloon has
been allowed TO exist so long
DR.. Cannon, IN his opening remarks,
referred to section of the city
through which he passed en- route TO
church. was a section devoted almost
entirely to debauChing the State of
North Carolina by the continuous
shipping into that State of intoxicants
from these places. He referred to
the fact that there are nearly two
saloons in Petersburg to every church
and that the saloon prepared three
young people for hell TO every one
saved by the church. He stated that
the real battle was between the
/ church and the saloon. and that the
church should therefore give of its
means to the cause.
DIR. Cannon directed the thoughts
Of bis hehrers to two years ago.
when the senate of Virginia defeated
the enabling act, and the adverse cir
cumstances under which the Anti
Saloon league had to go out to make
renewed. fight for it's passage He
stated that the league had won such
a decisive victory that the senate
would not dare disregard the people
wishes.
In reference to the amendments
! tackled on the enabling act by the
senate, DIR. Cannon stated the Anti
Saloon league objected to anything
/ In the way OF wineries or breweries
| or anything else tending to create a
sentiment favorable to the use or sale
Of intoxfcants.
| DR., Cannon. in closing his remarks
stated that he hoped that on the
| fourth Tuesday in November the
people Of Virginia would vote by as
decisive a majority against the sa-
loon evil as did West Virginia recent
| ly. when that State went dry by a
majority of $4,000 votes
Rev. J. d. McAllister, secretary OF
the Anti-Saloon league. followed in
| a forceful address setting forth the
| objects of the league during the com
/ ing Statewide campaign, and urged
| the support of the people in financing
/ the great battle. His address was
/ heard with rapt attention. The meet
/ ing was dismissed with prayer by
/ Judge Mann.
