Victims are Rescued

Paul W. Howard, of 2046 LAUREL
shade, and Portus Baxter, sporting
editor of the Post-Intelligencer, were
in Towards motorboat, the Kewpie,
about 100 yards away from where the
seaplane struck. The rush to the
aid of Hull and Munter and took
them ashore. Then Howard returned
and with his motorboat managed to
tow the plane, which was gradually
sinking to the Cascade boat house at
Madison park.
Had the machine fallen on land,
Hull and Munter would undoubtedly
have been killed. The spot where 1t
fell is about 200 feet from shore and
the water is $50 feet deep at the
place.
"The pontoon, which floated the
machine when it ran on the surface
of the water, was smashed into kid
ling wood. The propeller, which
struck the crushed pontoon, was also
broken into bits. The supports Of
the planes were destroyed in getting
the engine out.
Work of rebuilding the machine
will probably begin at once. A build
permit was recently issued for SILL
900 hanger and home for the North
west Aero club at the foot of Monroe
street, on the east shore of Lake
Union, and the rebuilt machine will
be house there.
Made Many Flights
"The seaplane wrecked yesterday is
the same one In which Mr.. Boeing
few over the city on Friday, throw
ing thousands of paper missiles, re-
.sembling shells in form, and bearing
inscriptions calling attention to the
need for military preparedness. Many
trips have been made over the city
in the machine during the past few
weeks and flights have also been
made from Seattle to the Puget sound
navy yard and also to Tacoma.
Mr.. Boeing purchased the seaplane
early in October while he was at the
Martin Aviation school at Los Ange-
les taking lessons in flying. 1t cost
$4,000. The first fight Of the sea-
plane was made on October % by
Floyd Smith, an instructor and tester
for the aviation school, who assem-
bled the machine here. 1t was the
largest hydro-aeroplane ever flown in
the Pacific Northwest, stretching So
feet from tip to tip and was equipped
with a 125-horse power Hall-Scott
engine. 1t was of the type used by
the United States army, capable of
speed Of 70 or 80 miles an hour
carrying two passengers and enough
fuel for six-hour flight"

Profitable Crop Rotation.

The most profitable crop rotation
does not consist merely in changing
the crops around from year to year.
regardless OF the relation of the crops
TO each other. The central aim in all
crop-rotation systems should be to
leave each field in a better state Of
cultivation, better physical condition,
and reasonably free from pests at the
end of ench rotation cycle.
No hard and fast rotation system
can be laid down for any community,
but the most profitable system must
be worked out for each farm and,
indeed. for each field. There are GER
tain general principles, however. that
should be borne in mind in this con-
nection I'm order to accomplish the
most satisfactory results. For soil
Improvement there should be at least
one leguminous crop in each rota-
tion cycle. To this class OF plants be-
long the cloyers, alfalfa, peas. beans,
etc. There should be also a sufficient
quantity Of live stock. especially milk
cows. on each farm TO utilize the
roughage and to supply the desired
quantity OF stable manure. which,
In addition to green crops plowed un-
der. Will furnish the necessary amount
OF humus to the soil. The conditions
resulting from this treatment, IL the
soil Is properly handled. will make the
succeeding crops more vigorous and
capable OF offsetting. in some meas
ure at least. the effects OF any pests
that may appear. Again. the success
sive crops In any rotation should Dc
selected and arranged that no two up
on which the same pest may thrive
VIII be grown In succession. The prin-
ciples OF disease control by means OF
crop rotation are based upon the fact
that certain pests can thrive only on
certain kinds OF plants. Therefore
when the crops are changed and the
food supply thereby cut off. the pest.
must perish or be greatly reduced In
number.

REVIVAL AT MAYESVILLE.
Series Of Services Being Conducted by
Rev. j. A. BrunsOn.

Mayesville, Nov. 16.-The series of
services at the Baptist church COM
menced last night with a strong SER
mon by the well-known and talented
evangelist, DR.. John "A. Brunson, who
will preach twice daily through Fri
day. His subject last night was
Immortal until my work is DONE"
The speaker showed in a most logical
and convincing manner that God has
His plans made for every human be-
ing and nothing can be accomplished
except by His direction. He showed
how Christ lived while on this earth
according to Gods plans, citing the
instances Of the miracle at the wed.
ding at Cana, the appearance during
the Feast Of Tabernacles, and finally
the crucifixion. DR.. Brunson con!
cluded with an appeal to all to live
according to Gods direction and his
discourse was one of the most impress
sive heard here in sometime. The
pastor OF this church, Rev. J. w. Guy,
has aroused much enthusiasm in
church work since taking charge and
the membership has increased cons
siderably. There will be services ev-
cry day at $50 and every evening at
7.30 through Friday.

Solving the Potash Problem.

Several new methods OF increasing
the supply OF American potash have
recently been brought to the atten-
ton OF the Bureau OF Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce Of the Department
or Commerce. One Of the most prom
ising OF these efforts to find a substi-
tute for German fertilizers is a pat
ent taken out a few weeks ago by a
Canadian for a method OF using the
potash In ordinary feldspar.
Tho process Is q simple one, con-
sisting OF heating the feldspar with
limestone and iron oxide at a tenn
perature of about 1900 degrees Fab
renheit. which produces partly
fused mass that is easily decomposed
by weak acid. From this product
the potash salts can readily be extract
ed for further publication. The in
ventor has been In consultation with
DIR. Norton. the expert who has been
looking after the potash and dyestuff
situations for the Bureau Of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. and 1t
seems very possible that a greatly
simplihed method OF transforming
feldspar into fertilizer will soon be
available.
A practical tryout for another
method OF obtaining potash fertiliz-
er will soon take place at New Or
leans distillery where molasses Ia
used In large quantities. II Is a fact
that. 106 tons Of potash are wasted
daily by the twenty-five or more distil-
leries In this country that subject mo-
mses to processes OF fermentation.
The New Orleans company Is plan
ming to install the process of saving
the potash In distillery waste recent
ly brought to the attention Of the
public by the Bureau OF Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. 1t should be
possible to make fertilizer from this
otherwise worthless material at a
price that will meet competition
even after the war Is over.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Bids will be

morrow for two $4,000 ton superdread-

ers, shippers and buyers should be
placed in possession of the fullest in
formation before you take any action
upon this application for change of
classification.
therefore ask that public hearing
be given after sufficient publicity of
the date of the hearing asked for to-
gether will full information regarding
the proposed change. L have no in
clination to deal unfairly with the
transportation company, but 1 feel
satisfied that you gentlemen will agree
with me that this proposed change Of
classification in freight rates within
this State is entirely too sweeping in
character to be considered by YOUR
body without giving full opportunity
to thousands Of shippers and buyers
to be heard as well as the railroads.
Without conceding any point at is
sue it may be that the transportation
company in some instances are entitl-
ed to a change in classification, but in
matter Of as great importance to the
industrial interest Of this State think
the railroads should be required to
make a mighty good showing and
that the buying and shipping public
should be given full opportunity to be
heard.

PROPOSE CHANGE OF RATES
Railroads Would Raise Freight Rates,
While Shippers Object to Change.

| 1t looks as though there will be an
other scuiiie over Interstate freight
rates. The application of the South
Carolina railroads or those operating
In this State, to cancel Exception
Sheet No. and apply in lieu thereof
the Southern classification on all
freight traffic between points in South
Carolina, is meeting with much oppo-
sition it seems
The Sumter Chamber OF Commerce,
which has taken an important part in
freight rate fights and adjustments for
several years. has been urged to fight
the proposed changes in classification,
and the secretary of the Sumter COM
mercial organization has requested a
Statewide hearing by the South Car
olina Railroad Commissioners.
1t seems that manufacturers, ship
pers and buyers generally want a
hearing and all possible information.
In order that all concerned may be in
possession of the main points at issue,
Secretary Reardon gave out for publi-
cation copy of his letter to the rail-
road commissioners requesting a hear
ing on this proposed cancellation of
Exception Sheet No. 0.
SO that all of those who are inter-
ested should take such action as they
see fit in their own interests. The
manufacturers and dealers in vehicles
and hardware appear to be the most
interested at present, but it is claimed
that every class of freight will be
changed by the proposed reclassifica-
ton. The South Carolina Railroad
Commission has been requested to
publish full information regarding
proposed changes so that shippers
and buyers will know just how they
will be affected.
