WAR WILL HELP POTTERlES
American Industry Bound to Benefit
by Changes In the Commerce
Of the World.

The American demand for several
minor mineral products will be sttmu-
lated by the changes In trade with Eu-
rope. with the result OF increasing
materially the production for 1914 and
following years, says a bulletin or the
United States Geological Survey. In
the case of pottery this movement to-
ward a stronger hold of the domestic
market Is already well under way.
The production in 1913 was the larg-
est in the history of the industry. The
underlying cause OF this prosperity
is no doubt the Improvement In the
character Of the American product in
texture, finish. color, decoration. and
the prevention OF Grazing. the higher
grades OF American pottery equaling
IL not SURPRISING some of the best i'm
ported ware. For many years the
value of the imported pottery exceed
ed the value Of that made at home,
but about the close of the nineteenth
century domestic production caught
up with imports. and since that time
it has greatly exceeded them, the pro-
.duction in 1918 being nearly four
times as great In value as the i'm
ports. There was. however, last year
q considerable decrease In exports Of
pottery, a record which should now
be reversed by reason of the changes
In the worlds commerce that have
become Inevitable.

Wilfred Horton found himself that
fall In the position Of man whose
course lies through rapids, and for
the first time in his life hie pleasures
were giving precedence to business.
Horton was the most-hated and most
admired man in New York, but the
men who hated and snubbed him were
his own sort. and the men who ad-
mired him were those whom he would
never meet, and who knew him only
through the columns Of penny papers
Powerful enemies had ceased to laugh,
and begun to conspire. He must be
silenced! How, was a mooted queB-
ton. But, in some fashion, he must
be silenced. Society mad not cast
him out, but society had shown him
in many subtle ways that he was no
longer her favorite. He had taken a
plebeiau stand with the masses. Mean
while, from various sources, Horton
had received warnings of actual per
sonal danger. But ct these he had
laughed, and no hint of them had
reached Adrienne's ears.
One evening, when business had
forced the postponement of dinner
engagement with Miss Lescott, he
begged her over the telephone to ride
with him the following morning.
Il know you are usually asleep when
I'm out and galloping,' he laughed.
"but you pitched nae neck and crop
into this hurly-burly. and l shouldn't
have to lose everything, Don't have
your horse brought. / want you to

morning is the best time to ride. Ill

They had turned the upper end of
the reservoir before Horton drew his
mount to a walk, and allowed the reins
to hang. They had been gallcping
hard, and conversation had been i'm
practicable.
Il suppose experience should have
taught me-" began Horton, slowly,
that the most asinine thing in the
world is to try to lecture you, Drennie.
But there are times when one must
even risk your delight at ones dis

We hope everybody is reading
the Good Roads articles that
are being written by Mr. G w Neal
and published in the Vidette each
week. They make interesting
reading, whether you believe in
good roads or not. Mr. Neal is an
interesting writer and a con-
vincing one. We believe he will
convert everybody, even the most
obstinate, before he is through. 1t
is a matter of record that those
who have approved good roads,
drainage or other improvements
after having seen the results are
the most ardent advocates, loudest
IN their praise and can't get them
fast enough. Good roads are the
life OF any county and reflect to a
large extent the progressiveness
OF the people who live in the
county.
