those at Stassfurt have been uncov-
cred.
Potassium never free but in var
ious compounds, is present throughout
the world in inexhaustible supply. The
difficulty is that in many of it's forms
it has hitherto proved unfeasible of
commercial exploitation. The oceans
are vast reservoirs of potash salts.
and mica, distributed around the
world, contain potassium, as do other
rarer occurrences, such as alunite,
a sulphate of potassium and aluminium
Kelp, or seaweed, is worked for potash
salts. Stassfurt remains the chief
of world sources, however, as its salts
are rich and easily worked, wwhlie pro
cesses for the production of the salts
from kelp, alunite, feldspar and mica
have not yet been translated into sue
cessful commercial endeavor.

workable as those of Germany, the

"The Stassfurt region has for many
years been the source of the worlds
supply of potash salts. Their produc-
ton has been controlled by a syndi-
cate to which all of the firms produc-
ing this commodity belong. Each year.
what proportion of that years produc-
ton might be exported and what must
be retained for domestic use, has been
determined by the executive of this
syndicate. Also, total productions have
been determined and allotted year by
year, thus effecting conservation of
Germany's supply. In 1914, the Ger
man potash syndicate determined upon
a total production of all kinds of pot
ash salts of 1,166,600 metric tons for
the year. OF this amount, 531 800 tons
were allotted for export.
"A hampering lack of potash salts
has been the result Of the isolation of
little unknown Stassfurt. here are
other sources. Deposits in Galicia
have assumed Importance in connec-
ton with the war, potash salts being
necessary in the preparation of explos-
ives. These deposits we're found near
Kalusz, and plans have been made to
work them on a large scale. Texas,
California and New Mexico are among
the most promising fields for possible
potash production in this country"

Especial to Times-Recorder.)

|
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jelly 23.-The
war isolation of the little town of
Stassfurt in the province of Saxony,
Prussia with its neighborhood richly
productive of potash salts, has caus-
ed more stir and annoyance in the
neutral world than the isolation of
many larger and much more famous
places" begins a bulletin issued by
the National Geographic society to-
day which tells of the work that has
been done by the United States Geo
logical survey toward the determine
ton of adequate native sources of this
necessary mineral.
Germany has been the world )
great source of potassium compounds
used in the preparation of fertilizers
and in industrial processes. The pro-
duction of these salts for world-de-
mand has centered at Stassfurt, lit
tie town of 10000 on the Bode river,
30 miles south of Madgeburg. The
United States has been a very heavy
taker of the German output, importing
millions of dollars worth each year
While the bulk of the potash salts
is employed in the manufacture OF
manure salts, large quantities are con-
sumed In the soap, match, glass max
ing, cloth-fnishing and pharmaceutical
Industries. Especially has the general
chemical industry felt lack of pot
ash salts, since the PRONUNCIATION by
the German government in January of
this year, of an embargo upon the
export of the salts.
Experts of the United States Geo.
logical survey have secured the coun-
try for number of years in search
of domestic supply of potash salts.
The surveys efforts were redoubled
upon the German source becoming in
accessible. The work has extende
from New York to California and from
Michigan to Louisiana. Thus far no

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS
WILL INCREASE WEALTH
Of ALL AUSTRALIA

ADELAIDE, South Australia, Jul
23.-What is hailed as inaugcrating
new and important era in the indus
trial development of the Australian
commonwealth was the laying a
, Blanchetown on the river Murray
June 5, of the foundation stone of the
first lock of the great system of locks
and weirs which will harness this
great waterway to the better use OF
the Australian people. The system, to-
gether with the water sorages at Lake
Victoria and Cumberoona, will provide
for irrigation on huge scale as well
as the use of the Murray waterway
for trade and commerce.
What the Nile is to Egypt and the
Mississippi is to the United States, the
Murray is to Australia. The Murray
river system is one of the longest nav
igable in the world, at times, for
more than 5000 miles.
For something like half a century
the control of its waters has been a
vel qoestion in the politics of the
tire tates most vitality concerned
New Ath Wales, Victoria and South
Austrt 4aa--and because successive
governments have been unable to agree
upon basis of settlement of riparian
rights, the potential wealth of the
river has been allowed to pour itself
unchecked into the sea-a gigantic
waste in continent where the chief
desiredatum is water. The ceremon-
les at Blanchetown, therefore, signal
lied an historical event. When car
ried to completion, the project will
open up about 100000 acres for Gull
tivation, and it is estimated, will bring
in an additional population of from
100000 to 100000 persons.
The cost will be about $21 100000.
Some idea of the extent of the scheme
may be gathered from the fact that
i'll South Australia, the Lake Victoria
reservoir can be made to store 22,000,-
100000 cubic feet of water.

Bessie's imitation of Miss Roberts
was inimitable. Bessie was going to
be an actress some day, every one
knew. She had told Miss Roberts so,
and Miss Roberts, always serious,
had pointed out the dangers of a
stage career. There was not much
evil that Bessie did not know by hear
say, and if any one was capable of
protecting herself, Bessie was.
Once, after Bessie had been taunt-
ing her, l saw tears on Eileen Rob-
erts' face. That hurt me, for 1 had
taken my part in the teasing. 1 want
ed to warn Bessie, but then did not
think she had heart.
All things come to an end, and the
end was in the letter that was sent
to Mr.. Wakefield on Christmas eve.
Some of the boys had talked over it
for a joke, but nobody had meant it
seriously. 1t was only when Bessie
said she would write it, and Joe
Donahue dared her to, ard Bessie
said she would, as she was tired
of the old job anyway, that the pro-
posal was regarded seriously. Of
course it would be first-rate joke on
Eileen Roberts; but then thought of
the hungry MOTHERHOOD on Miss
Roberts face when she saw Bessie,
and, well, l would have stopped it if
l could.
The letter was drawn up without
the intention of sending it, and it ran
as follows:
Dear Mr.. Wakefield:
81 have worked many years for
you, and l feel that it is my right to
be frank. You are an old bachelor
and 1 am an old maid. l love you.
Why shouldn't we marry? Regard
this as serious and confidential"
Bessie dashed off Eileen Roberts

ously like hers.
Nobody was much afraid of Wake

to be fight-but the boys got him
out somehow and held Mr. Wakefield
back.
Still, it was a pretty serious thing.
eff you'll all swear not to tell, I'll
mail it," said Bessie, feeling like
heroine.
We looked across at the uncon-
scious Miss Roberts. Don't do it,
l said.
Bessie stamped the letter, held it
suspended over the mail-chute, look
ed at us, dropped it down. We
sat back aghast.
The next morning everyone was
very quiet. We were wondering
when the storm would burst. We saw
Mr. Wakefield go into his Office.
Somebody tiptoed near and reported
that he was opening his mail But
nothing happened till noon, and then
Miss Roberts was sent for.
She came back ten minutes later,
in tears, and the boys looked sheep
ish, for it was pretty strong joke
to have played. Only Bessie, with the
usual pert look on her pretty face,
went on with her work.
Miss Roberts sat down in her chair
and wept without any pretense al
restraint. And then-we saw Wake
field come striding into our room. In
his hand was the letter On his face
was the look 1 had seen once-only
once-before. He held the letter
out.
UNLESS the person who wrote this
thing confesses instantly" he said,
81 shall dismiss the entire clerical
force. The entire force" he thun-
dered.
He must have seen the involuntary
movement of our eyes toward Bessie.
But he said nothing till Bessie sprang
to her feet, white and trembling.
81 wrote it, and I'm sorry," she
cried. 'Tn go. l did it, nobody
else."
