KEEP scHooLHoUsEs CLEAN.

The North Carolina Insurance Com
missioner is of the opinion that dan
ger of costly fires could be reduced if
schoolhouses, at the end of each ses-
sion, were left in thoroughly clean
conditions. In a statement for the
press just issued by Commissioner
Young, he says:
Very frequently an investigation
has shown that schoolhouses are not
in good condition during the vacation
period. 1t seems to be the idea that
schoolhouses should be put in order
and cleaned up, etc., at the beginning
OF each term, but at the close of the
term it is all right to leave scattered
about in the building, piled up in cor
ners and stored in closets any kid of

ercisess and has accumulated during

NEW WAY TO SECURE POTASH.
Young Chemist Discovers a Process
of Extracting 1t From Feldspar.
(From The New York SUM

v
A young chemist, Yale graduate,
working near the Custom House, yes
terday showed DR.. Thomas H. Nor
ton, the Department of Commences
commercial agent, a new process for
extracting potash from feldspar. Doc
tor Norton is here to help solve the
problems of year shortage in dye
stuffs and other substances, and
potash is one of them. He was so
much improved with the young in
ventor's feldspar process that he said
last night:
81 have examined the chemial fac
tors of this process and am convinced
that it is reliable and of value. Tests
have been successfully made with
several hundred tons of feldspar.
1.-THE inventor himself believes that
the efforts to build up a potash in
dustry based on kelp ought to be
continued without letup, for kelp at
fords us a very much greater source
Of supply than feldspar. But con-
slider this new process important in
several ways
In the first place it promises an
economical way of 11berating alumni
mum, silica and potash are closely
united in the feldspar of the AL
leghany Mountains and acids do nos
liberate them. We have to use an
alkaline process beforewe can split
them with acids. Now the release of
this aluminium quickly and cheaply
is of great Importance to the alumni
mum industry in the United States,
which uses 300 tons of pure alumni
mum daily.
Secondly, the new process of get
ting potash. from feldspar is more
direct than extracting it from kelp.
This young mans method will give us
potassium carbonate almost directly
from the rock, and potassium car
Donate is the great desideratum. Hav-
ing that, we can Immediately get any
kind of potash salts, including nitrate
To get potassium carbonate from the
kelp we have to use rather a round
about method.
Germany has the one great nat
ural monopoly of potash. We have
been taking half her output. Now
we cannot get it. The American far
mer has never learned to use enough
potash as a fertilizer. The Germans
get SO bushels of wheat per acre to
our Is by being liberal with potash.
We are letting kelp containing $780,
100000 worth of fertilizer go to waste
on the Pacific Coast each year."

A YOUTHFUL CHAMPION IN a
THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE
CBy Philip Evans.)


This is a cause that is moving on
ward in way that has created more
alarm among it's enemies than they
have ever before experienced. They
may we'll be apprehensive and fearful,
for the sentiment against the saloon
was never so strong as it is at the
present time, and the prohibition ter
ritory is steadily increasing. There is
now on his way to the Pacific Coast
on foot and alone, a boy of eighteen
years who is surely a strong cham
p1on OF the temperance cause. His
name is Lawrence Park McGahan, and
on the sixteenth day of April he set
forth from the National Prohibition
Headquarters in Chicago to walk ten
thousand miles in the cause of pro-
h1b1tlon. While en- route he will try
to get five million persons to sign q
pledge declaring that they will not
support at the next Presidential cleo
ton any party or candidates not in
favor of prohibition. Young McGahan
will be fourteen months on the road.
and his trip will come to an end in
July of next year at the National Pro-
hibition, where he will surely be
something of hero. While on the
road young McGahan will wear a
khaki suit, and his baggage will con-
sist of a pack on his back weighing
twenty-five pounds. It will contain
a sleeping bag, in which he will sleep
out of doors during the entire trip. 1t
goes without saying that he will see
great deal of his native land in.
his attempt to do something to help
free that land from it's worst evil.
