AUTUMN

The winds are whistling Rag Time on
 the hills; The ripples are all Tangoing on the
 rills: The trees, in fine elation, Fly the flags of every nation While their leaves, in desecration, Each one spills. Autumn's thrown a brand new picture
 on the screen: All the grass is russet now instead of
 green: The fields have all been footed, The toads and things have scooted, Just as if they'd all been hooted From the scene. In the woods the maiden wanders now
 no more: All her summer ways of courting now
 are o'er: She will tarry with her lover With a chandelier above her, Quite as coy while under cover As out door. Autumn holds a spell of magic in it's
 hand As it dances, sings and whistles OCT
 the strand. Summers love-lit smiles and glances It but adds to and enhances Till all sweet, romantic fancies Jump and land. Laura Sheldon in the New York Times.

POTASH SUCCESSFULLY
 PRODUCED IN AMERICA
The First Shipment from Utah Plant
 To Jacksonville, Fla.

The first shipment of potash to be made from the Utah mines, which are now being developed to manufacture potash from alunite, will, according to a telegram to the Manufacturers Record from Charles H. Mcdowell. president of the Armour Fertilizer works, which controls the plant, be sent In cotton bags to one of the fer tlllzer plants of the Armour Company at Jacksonville, Fla. Wiring from Salt Lake City, MT. Mcdowell adds:
 "The mine is developing splendidly and the process is working entirely satisfactorily, and the product is su- perior to the imported potash. The first car analysed 93 per cent. sulphate potash"
 Secretary Franklin K. Lane of the Interior Department furnishes the Manufacturers Record some details in regard to this potash plant. which has been investigated by the experts of the Department, in the course of which he says:
 "The capacity of the first unit of the plant is estimated to be from 25 to 35 tons of sulphate of potassium a day. In addition to the valuable sul- phate of potassium, the operators eX- pect to gain considerable return from the filter cake left after the po- tash solution has been removed from consists of nearly pure alumina. This may be used for making refractory brick. for it is reported to withstand temperatures as high as 2S00 degrees centigrade. It may also prove to be available in making aluminium
 This, the first commercially sue cessful effort made to manufacture potash from alunite in this country, is of special importance, and the work already under way has stimulated very great activity in the search for other deposits of alunite or for other potash bearing minerals. Mir. Mcdowell ad- vises that a large amount of wild eating" is being done in the Utah section, in which his company is oper- ating.

AMERICA FIRST

The Department of the Interior, through its Bureau of Education. has issued Autographed poster, 80 by 20 inches in size, which is being sent to the various post offices, public schools and industrial establishments of the country, urging immigrants to edu- cate themselves for American citizen ship.
 In the foreground of the poster "Uncle Sam" is represented as grasp ing the hand of an immigrant work ingman, while in the background is seen a residence, public school, and "a naturalization judge handing "citi- zen's papers" to an immigrant.
 Under the bod-faced title America First" are urgent invitations to at tend night school, learn English, and become citizens. These invitations, with brief sentences setting forth the advantages of such action, are given in English and in six immigrant lan guages, viz: Italian, Polish, Yiddish, Lithuanian, Bohemian, and Hungar- ian.
 Investigation has shown that there are in this country 3,000,000 foreign born whites, 10 years and over. who are unable to read or even speak Eng fish. More than one-half of these inn migrants are unable to read or write in any language.
 As the posters will be hung in con- spcuous places it is to be hoped that by means of this pictorial and written invitation immigrants will have their attention called to the night schools of their communities; and that where there is any considerable number of immigrants and no night schools the poster may inspire the authorities in these communities to establish such schools. This is a part of more comprehensive plan for preparing i'm migrants for American life and citi- zenship.

PLAN FOR TEN MONTHS FEED

Now is the time for the Arkansas farmer to be thinking about his feed crops for the next ten months. How much corn in the field now, how much hay, how much rough feed, stover (corn stalks without ears) How much winter pasture should be plann- ed for the cows, calves and horses? How much pasture in the plan for next spring and summer? Then how much stock can be kept? How many hogs fattened, how many cows can be carried over the winter, how many calves kept, how many horses? Then after such a family calculation it may be found possible to buy one or two more cows or three or more calves, or another good brood mare to raise good horse or mule colt The Exten- sion Division of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture believes the state has enough feed to take care of more live stock.

FARM HANDS FIND
NEW WAY TO RICHES
Take Up Camp Near Mud Hole and
Then Help Autos Out
OF Mire.

COTTONWOOD FALLS, Kas. Aug
s.-Four harvest hands in Ford coun-
ty are making fortunes. according TO
r. B. Harris Of this city, who has lust
returend from a motoring triD to Col
oradO. These four harvest hands who
were working between the towns of
Kinsley and Dodge City were content
ed with the good wages they were
making from the wheat harvest until
they discovered one rainy dav that
there was easier money in pulling mo-
tor car tourists out of a big mudhole
on the santa Re trail Five dollars a
car was the schedule price for which
they held up the stranded motorcar
owners for the five or ten minutes
service they rendered in pulling his
machine out of the mud.
The harvesters had a good strong
team of horses and a wagon. besides
a collection of ShOVelS and other mud
digging tools. They would take up
their stand on hill about half q mile
from the vexing lnudhole When a
car was seen approaching they would
drive lelsurely toward the mudhOle.
generally arriving a few minutes after
the motor car had gotten into the

BOSS BARNES FOR
LONG FRANCHISES
Is Urging Interests of Utilities
on New York Constitutional
Convention.
BY ellison Gardner.

ALBANY, y. Y. Aug. 6.-As ev-
Sen. Fnhu Root is the most talked-of
candidate for president of the United
States on the republican ticket, I de-
cided TO run up n Albany. y. Y. TO
see him in his most up-to-date role
OF constitution-maker for the Em-
pire state
On the afternoon OF July IS, l drop
ped in on the committee on public
utilities, at which William Barnes, jr.,
Roots first lieutenant-the only
court -adjudicated corrupt bipartisan
boss in the country-is chairman. As
it happened, Mr. Barnes was speak
ing, and this Is what / heard;
This provision looks all right to
me. II would permit the legislature
TO grant franchises TO public service
corporations for certain numbe OF
years say 500 years, or for an in
definite period"
There were nine members of the
committee sitting around the commit
tee table. Nobody said anything.
Mr.. Barnes appealed TO the member
on his right.
"As for me" replied the member.
II don't see why there is any Objec-
tion TO giving power 10 the legislature
TO grant perpetual franchises. Why
such a fuss!'
Again the committee members said
nothing. Mr.. Barnes read another
section.
That is to protect the present
franchise holders, he explained.
But il doesn't do it," one member
. objected "It doesn't take into con-
sideration good will value of the
franchise. / know a decision of the
appellate COURT business Of telling
about the decisiOn.)
Well" said Mr. Barnes" if no
body has any objection we will let
that stand"
Nobody had. Somebody asked
about the medical clause.
q am getting a barrel full OF letters
from the Christian Scientists about
that" said one member.
Mr. Barnes "Oh. that section is
all right. 1 talked TO a couple Of
them this morning and they went
away convinced that it doesn't mean
what they thought it meant
Pause. Silence.
Barnes. Anybody want to make a
motion to adjourn? 1 don't think
there is much more we can do today"
So everybody stood up and drifted
from the room.
The committee meetings are quite
informal No records are made or
kept. The chairman interlines with
a lead pencil a typewritten copy of
the proposed amendment and the
committee takes it for granted. APP
parently was the only representative
of the public present. The expert
ence was to me a valued sidelight on
the business of making state CON
stitution. Perpetual or 500-year
franchises and nobody objecting. Is
it any wonder the interests approve
the administration of Mr.. Barnes and
the valued work of Mr.. Root in pre-
siding over the convention?
