Must Find Cotton Market.

John l.. McLaurin, state warehouse
commissioner, gave out the following
statement:
81 am very much gratifed to see
the Associated Press dispatch an
nouncing the arrangements which
have been perfected by the federal
reserve board for financing cotton.
Those who are interested will remem-
Der that / issued to the press a state
ment on December 8 in which | ex-
pressed the opinion that the treasury
department had the power to finance
the cotton crop.
ut occurs to me now that the
United States is on solid basis
about financing the cotton.
"The next step should be to find a
market for 1t. If the channels OF
ocean freight are to be interrupted,
as it now seems most certain they
will be until the end Of the war, why
could not the government buy, say,
100000 bales of low grade cotton
explosives?
ut Is plainly evident that the
United States is on the eve Of getting
itself on strong military basis and
that lot Of cotton will be needed in
making explosives. 1t would be a
business policy to buy now, for il
may never be bought more cheaply
than at the present The government
could afford to buy 100000 bales.
"This also ought to appeal to the
English government. I believe that
1T should be brought to the attention
Of the British government and show
them that it is to their interest in a
business way to relieve the present
tension that they buy large quantity
Of American cotton"

Lever Interested in Potash.

Lever Interested in Potash.
Congressman A. f. Lever is In re-
ceipt Of a letter from d. f. Houston,
secretary Of agriculture OF the United
States, which is Of Importance to
farmers, as 1t deals with one Of the
most interesting and far-reaching
questions confronting the farmers
everywhere at this particular time.
Several years ago Representative
Lever, realizing the dependence Of
the United States upon foreign coun-
tries for potash, obtained an appro-
priation in the agricultural bill Of $25,-
600 to enable the department to as
certain any possible sources Of potash
In this country The discovery has
been made that the giant kelps of the
Pacific ocean within American terri
tory furnish an almost inexhaustib,e
supply of this fertilizer material.
These kelp beds have been mapped
and the data regarding them pub
lished
Some weeks ago Congressman Lever
wrote Secretary Houston, urging upon
him the desirability of taking advan.
tage OF these times to find some way.
to develop these sources of potash.
With such development and the use
Of the Panama canal, in the opinion
of Mr. LeSver, potash would become
very mucAScheaper in the South, e,-en
than it ikaunder normal world condi-
tions. W.

H. w. Rice, NJ D., acting physician
to Epworth orphanage made state
mont as follows, regarding the prevail
ence Of pellagra in that institution
and the measures to be taken for con-
troll Of the disease under the direction
of the United States public health SER
vice:
Since the announcement that there
were from rs to 100 cases Of pei
lagra in Epworth orphanage and that
the public health service Of the United
, States government was to try out the
theory there that the disease can be
prevented by properly balanced
diet, inquiries have come to me, as
physician to the orphanage, for in
formation as to the situation there.
GAS matter of fact there has been
one or more attacks Of pellagra In
more than $50 children now inmates
Of the orphanage. There have been
no deaths, and except among a few
of the 10 cases this year, all sy4np-
toms Of the disease have subsidized.
"The object Of the government Is to
supply constantly to all the children
highly nutritious, we'll proportioned
diet, such as we have found to be
markedly efficacious in the treatment
Of those sick Of pellagra. 1t is ex-
pected that this plan will prevent the
usual seasonal recurrence Of the dis
ease in the orphanage. If the expert
ment is successful, as shown else
where, then it will be incumbent upon
such institutions in the state to fur
nish a proper diet along lines indi-
Gated by the results in this instance
aside from the benefits to this par
ticular orphanage, it may be an. .edu-
cative measure of far-reaching cohse-
quences to the people Of the state"

pine OF Gary.

GARY, Ind, Dec. 29.-Years ago

ed at the police station. Capt. Ayde-
lotte accompanied him 10 the morgue

whether he could again get work.

OBJECT TO SACRED
SONGS IN SCHOOLS
Jewish People of Gary Petit
ton Against Singing
About Christ.

GARY, Ind. Dec. 2s.-Objection
to songs of religious nature and con-
tanning reference to Christ, being
taught in the Gary schools was
made in a petition filed with the
school board by NJ. d. Lieberman
and Matthias Finder Of the Hebrew
Educational alliance.
The resolutions presented to the
board declared that such songs are
being sung in the auditorium periods
and asked that they be discontinued.
The members of the school board
authorized Supt Writ to take the
matter up with the signers of the
resolution. Mr.. Writ first explained
to the school board that while songs
of this character might have been
sung on a few occasions. religious
songs Of all kinds are discouraged in
the public schools on account of the
varied natlonuiities. He added fur
Their, however, that the state laws
provide that school authorities shall
neither compel nor prevent religious
exercises in schools. The law is
backed by several supreme court de-
cisions. The Jewish organization will
receive a letter to this effect, with
the assurance that the singing of re-
ligious songs is not practiced in the
schools except in a few cases where
the rule is overlooked by teachers.
1T has always been our rule" said
Supt Writ, Ito lay as little stress as
possible upon church holidays such
as Christmas and Easter and empha-
size birthdays of men like Washing
ton and Lincoln, Thanksgiving and
other holidays more strongly All
Christmas teachings in the schools
are along the line of unselfshness
and of giving to others, while Easter
is interpreted as the resurrection Of
life in springtime in trees, flowers
and other plant life.
Children under our plan have
ample time TO devote to religious
training in church schools and we
do not include anything in the
school work that could offend any
sect or creed"
