Fire Near Greenhurst

The dwelling on the Newell property
near Grenhurst, owned by Mlnam
SINNERS, Jr., was totally destroyed by
fire Wednesday morning. The blaze is
supposed to nave been caused by a
defective fiue. The house was occu-
pied by the family of Samuel Moulton,
and most of the household goods were
destroyed. Neighbors hurried to the
scene and saved the barn by hard
fighting, as the high wind scattered
sparks far and wide. There was a
partial insurance on the property.

Fertilizer Assured By Discovery O
Potash Deposits

In many respects the most vitality
important result of the outbreak of
hostlities in Europe, so far as the
United States is concerned, was the
shutting off of the supply of potash
from the great German Kali mines.
Potash is one of the essential fertiliz-
ing ingredients, without which mil
lions of acres of land now under cult
walton would be almost worthless, that
has not been commercially produced
in the United States. 1t is also ex-
tensively used in the manufacture OF
glass and soap, in making gunpowder,
and, as potassium cyanide, in photo
graphy. + or many years the entire
world has been depending upon Ger
many for its potash.
For four years the United States
Geological Survey, as well as many
privately capitalized groups and indi-
viduals, has been searching for Amer
lean sources of potash supply. Atten-
ton has been often called to the giant
KEEPS of the Pacific Coast, the potash
content of which can be readily eX-
tracted, and at least one commercial
organization has been formed to eX-
plot this source of supply. Only such
natural deposits as are found in the
Stassfurt mine, in Germany, however,
would be adequate to fill the great and
growing demand. And such deposits
have at last been found in the United
States.
The efforts of the geological survey
were rewarded soon after the war be-
gan by the discovery of deposit of
potash, estimated at 100000 tons,
at Searles Lake in Death Valley, Cali
fornia. According to an announce
ment by Franklin X. Lane, secretary
of. the Interior the mining of this pot
ash is about to be begun at the rate
of 100 tons a day, or 37,440 tons
year. This rate of production is eX-
pected to be increased rapidly. The
imports from Germany for several
years have been at the rate of 100000
tons annually.
The newly discovered Searles Lake
deposit consists of a smooth plain of
crusted salts, underlaid by a bed of
salt and brire to a uniform depth of
about IS feet, and extending over an
area of at least 20 square miles. The
potash is contained in the brine which
ssaturates the entire deposit IN the
form OF potash chloride. beng about
Tour per cent by weight OF the brine.
Other valuable chemicals are also
found IN the deposit. According to the
experts OF the geological survey and
OF the Bul eau OF Soils OF the Depart
meht OF Agriculture, the Sear!es Lake
potash IS OF a very high commercial
standard. Beng near the PACING coast
1t can be shipped to the Atlantic sea-
Doard ana Hul1 ports by way OF the
fahama IahaI at COW cost Tor trans

Circuit Court Has Busy Week
Continued from first page).

ly and found no traces of the bruises
he had received in the accident. HIS
present condition was due to harden
ing of the arteries which was caused
by his way of living and excessive use
of liquor. His heart was somewhat
out of normal position and was en-
larged, and its pumping action had
been impaired for some time, disabl-
ing him for hard work. He was also
troubled with varicose veins which
would promote Or increase hardening
of the arteries.
DR.. Howard Bratton had known Nc
Gready for about ten years and saw
that he was prematurely aged. Had
examined him recently and found him
affected with hardening of the arteries
which would starve him physically and
mentally. He had been so affected
for perhaps ten years. His impaired
circulation had caused anaemia of the
brain. He had found no scar on his
head or his body, from his hurts in the
accident. Hardening of the arteries
might be hereditary or be induced by
various diseases, but in English and
largely to alcoholism. He did not
think his injuries in the accident
would accelerate his deterioration
from heart CT srterial affection.
Several residents of Clayton, Del,
mostly employees Of the defendant, tes-
titled that McGready had spent the
two past winters there, at his nep-
hew's home. which was comfortable
ore. and that they saw little or no diff
ference in his appearance or condition
from one year to the other. Both
sides closed and prayers were sub
mitted and passed upon.
Next Tuesday was set for the trial
of James Cadogan, removed here from
Baltimore Citv. for the murder of his
wife. but as Isaac Lobe Strauss, his
counsel. would not be able to appear,
owing to illness, later date will be
set.
Grand Jury Gets Busy.

number of witnesses, including Al
youths and young men of Elkton, and

Henry H. Mitchell and Leroy Sykes,
permitting gambling on their prem
ises. Presentments had also been
found against 81 persons for viola
lions of the traders license law.
The Grand Jury came into Court
with a large number of indictments on
these presentments at noon Friday, but
