The ruse by which the wedding
party got away to Alexandria was
complete. When. the White House

Arkansas Can Supply Potash

Little Rock, August 2l.-About
the time that the European war
threatened to put the fertilizer
manufacturers out of business, Just
because the worlds supply of potash
comes from Germany, along comes
Arkansas to the rescue, and reports
the discovery of a sufficient quaint.
ty to supply the world. The dis
covery was made IN Carroll county,
in the vicinity OF Berryville.
According to reports which have
come to Little Rock, the discover
ers are men in the employ of Kan
sas City capitalists, who have for
months been hauling supplies and
heavy machinery to the mines, but
who decline to make public any
information concerning the extent
OF the discovery, or the purity of
the mineral.
In the reports are borne out by
the facts, the mine will be one of
the big industries of Arkansas, and
probably better than had gold been
discovered in the state.
