Mr.. S. P. Johnson of Fort Adams
passed through Woodville last Friday
afternoon on his way to East Feliciana
parish on a short visit to Mr.. r. e.
Thompson. Mr.. Johnson, who recently
moved to the western portion of our
county, is very much impressed with
the possibilities that the raising of
cucumbers holds out to the planters,
and as he has had considerable exper-
fence along that line he is prepared to
give information that will be Of value
should such an industry be started in

MAYOR HOPES TO BRING PEACE IN
 TROLLEY STRIKE

Holyoke. Mass. Aug. s1-Direc- tors e the Hoiyoke Street Railway Company and the trolleymen's union were still at a deadlock to-day over the question of the time limit of the new contract to be formulated by an arbitration board of three persons and entered into between the men and the company. Not a car wheel has turned on the lines of the company in this city or Amherst since the strike began at midnight last Thursday. Special trains on the Boston & Maine Railroad and 5ttneys are caring for the bulk of the suburban traffic Business in the retail district is de- rnoral1zed.
 Mayor John II. Woods will present a new proposition for the settlement of the strike to-day to the directors of the company and later to the rep resentattves of the strikers. If this attempt fails he will pin his faith to the state board of conci1iation and arbitration which will come here pro -vided the situation remains unchang- ed.

COAL BY-PRODUCTS MANUFACTURE HERE
 WILL BE STUDIED

New York, Aug. 31-Not only the dyestuffs situation but every phase of the chemical industry will be taken up by the agents Of the department of commerce sent here by Secretary Redfield to investigate conditions in those trades caused by the war. Thom- as H. Norton. the chief investig igator, who began work here today, said:
 sfWe are anxious to see how we can utilize the coal industry. in which we are now wasting products worth $1O0,- 100000.
 Germany utilizes every ounce of coal by-produots. but only 16 percent of our furnaces are equipped for re- claiming coal tar products. Only a few are actually recovering benzoI, naptha1ine and carboIic acid which are the bases of most of the coal tar products. Unfortunately, benzol and carbolic acid are used largely in ex- plosives with the result that these pro- ducts are mostly taken up by the American factories. The potash prob lem is large. We import annually from Germany $15, 100000 worth of potash while off this coast there are supplies of ke1p which are believed to have a value of $15O,Q0O,00O now go- ing to waste We have at our door enough potash to meet the demands of the world and to supply the needs of our crops, tobacco, grain and other produce in the way or fertilizer. We have always beer dependent on Ger many for potash.
 photographic chemicals are van- ishing. We don't want to- get caught in such plight again and the de- pertinent of commerce wants to- stim- ulate American development so we can supply our own demands and then branch out into the worlds trade in chemicals.
 After this investigation is conclud- ed,' said Dr. Norton, eve will be in a, position to determine what can be done to relieve immediate necessi- ties although I am firmly of the be- lief that a strong domestic dyestuff industry can be built up eventually g
