When English colonists settled on
the Atlantic coast from New Eng
land to North Carolina, the abund-
ance Of wood suggested to them that
there might be profit in the sale Of
ashes. In 1921, less than fifteen
years after the founding of James
town, the Virginians were selling
ashes at frem $50 to $40 a ton for
export to England. The burning of

taken by negroes who had run away
from slavery in the South and had
settled In Canada. No capital was re-
quired, as wood was free; and,
though the income was small, the
work was easy and served to attract
a good many people. AS late az 1898
Canada exported annually 1923 bar
rels Of potash and pearlash, the
equivalent of more than 10000 bar
rels of ashes.
The potash in wood ashes is taken
up by the soil more readily than in
most other forms, because the grains
are generally extremely fine and the
minute particles are easily distrib-
uted through the soil in convenient
form for assimilation by plants.

Sawdust to Make Our Farms Fertile

THE war has cut off the supply
Of potash, practically all of
which came from Germany.
Potash is one of the essential COM
mercial fertilizers and quarter Of a
million tons Of it are used yearly by
the farmers of the United States.
The Hardwood Record, the trade
journal Of the numbering interests, is
authority for the statement that
America has at hand the materials to
make good the deficiency.
The amount of sawdust going to
waste would give alone, when
burned, one-third Of the missing
100000 tons of German potash. The
war. II it does nothing else, will make
US less wasteful.
When wood Is burned, says the
Record, the remaining ash represents
what the growing tree extracted from
the soil, while the smoke that goes
into the air represents what the tree
derived from the atmosphere. The
charcoal, II sufficiently burned, dis
appears. A small portion Of tree
comes from the soil and much from
the air. Some trees do not take one
pound from the soil to one thousand
bounds from the atmosphere, while

the contrasting fur being also used
for the making of the waist belt
which is fastened across the back,
and then, too, for the wide band
which borders and accentuates all
the fulness of the folds about the

In fact, the theatre cloak has been
christened the Window Pane wrap.
The reason is obvious. You can
actually see through it. It is of the
most delicate blue tulle, and is trim

is made to be worn under another
and heavier cloak. But it can, at the
same time, be unlocked at the throat
and be laid aside.
The other photographs show the
revealing sleeves. These are Just as
diaphanous as the cloak To my mind
the most. wonderful effects in dress
can be obtained by interposing a
screen of transparent fabric between
the dress or the ann and shoulders
as conventionally barred by the
modern fashions. 1t takes away the

WHO PAYS?
IN noys tho TARIFF

VINO pays IllS la III
There used to be a pleasant delus-
ion that the foreigner paid, the
idea being, apparently, that Europ-
can manufacturers loved us so much
that they would pay from 80 to l5O
per cent duties on their goods out OF
their own pockets and never dream
Of adding the sum so paid to the final
selling price. BY way Of common
tary on that notion-not so popular
now as it used to be-the Journal
presents the following true story:
Down in Ohio there is an auto
mobile firm which is trying hard to
get a good Canadian trade. With
good roads, vast distances and pros
porous people, Canada offers a splen-
did market for autos. Here, If any
where, the foreigner ought to pay the
tariff tax which Canadian legislators
have placed on motor cars. Does the
Ohio firm do it?
Not quite. 1t advertises thus:
Touring car, y: S. price. $ 80
Touring car, Canadian price. Lev
The Canadian duty on automobiles
is 421a per cent. Forty-two and a
half per cent on the retail American
price would come to $31S.75, where
as the actual excess the Canadian Gus
toner pays for this Ohio car is only
$500. The extra S1S.75 probably
comes out of the Canadian agents
commission.
Does the foreigner pay? He does
not, and here is one firm honest
enough to say so. The consumer
pays, first, last and all the time. On
automobiles, soap, blankets, matches,
window glass or soothing syrup, the
consumer pays.-Chicago Journal.

THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT.

Harper's Weekly editorially con-
siders the greatest achievement OF
Woodrow Wilson as president OF the
United States was his note to Ger
many. 1t considers in such reason
ing as ought to appeal to thinking
men the country over, and it will ap-
peal to them. 1t ought also to cause
some of the partisans to stop and
think. Here's the Weekly article
pointing out Wilson's greatest
achievements:
THE greatest achievement of this
is not in the curren-
CIV act, monumental as that achieve
ment is, or in Mr.. McAdoo's emer-
sency measure to stop panic when
the war broke out. 1t is not in carry
ing out at last the promises to lower
the tariff. 1t is not in Panama repeal
or in peace treaties. 1t is not in Keep
ing us out of war with Mexico and
ably our relations with
European belligerents. Magnificent
as that record is, there is something
greater, higher, more magnificent.
ITO have a national administration
that is moved unswervingly by prln-
ciples; that is distinguished, broad
and free in thought, that knows no
back-door influence; that has never
once responded to the dollar, where
the dollar represented not the COM
non welfare but the threat of privi-
lege; that has assumed morals, altru-
ism, justice to be actually desired by
the American people; why, dear
friends, to have note like that
struck and held by the government is
more important to you than
any one issue, than any one question
of agreement or disagreement on this
question or that. 1t makes our foun-
dations safe. 1t gives nobility to our
nation. 1t is a rebirth. When the
summer of 1916 comes around the
voters will be asked whether they
wish to go back to the trust-made
tariff, whether they would like to
have American men, money and prln-
.iples destoyed for Mexican investors,
whether they are sorry that both the
allies and the Germans are critical OF
the president.
They will, however, be asked
more far-reaching. They
will be asked whether they are moved
only by material consideration. They
will be asked whether they wish to
uphold or to condemn freedom OF
soul, clear-sighted courage, the appli-
cation to life of what once a week
