::'HOUSE BASED UPON WOMAN

"A house is not based upon the
ground, but upon woman" is an old
Montenegro proverb. To her falls the
hard work of the household. They
uFe the sickle, tend the flocks, as
well as the spinning wheel and have
the vitality and health to enjoy it.
American women should take more
care to preserve health and vitality
by avoiding nervous, rundown con-
ditions, and for this purpose our local
druggists, Hooks Pharmacy, have a
most valuable combination of the three
Oldest tonics known in Vinol. If you
weak, rundown, over-worked just try

GLOOMY VIEW WITH
FERTILIZER GIVEN
IN REPORT OF HEAD

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. ga
gloomy view of prospects for fertiliz'
ing next years crops is presented in =
statement issued by Secretary Hous-
ton, of the department of agriculture
Relief measures undertaken by the
department since the European wa;
disrupted the American phosphate in
dustry and cut off potach imports from
Germany, will help, the statement says
but they offer slim possibilities that
the American farmer will get small
part of the fertilizing materials nee
essary for his needs. heterogeneous fer
tilizers alone will be available in the
quantities needed.
The secretary takes up first the
potash supply, long since exhausted in
the United States by the German en-
barge on shipments. Investigation,
says his statement, has shown four
sources Of supply in this country, but
none Immediately available. These are
the kelp on the Pacific coast, alunite
deposits in Utah, feldspathic rocks in
tie East and the mud of Searles Lake,
California.
Manufacture from feldspar has beer
found to be feasible, but the cost is
high. Development of Searless Lake
deposits presents technical difficulties
ard title to the property is involved.
Manufacturers are experimenting now,
the statements says, with alunite. Kelp
is offered as the best material. Three
large concerns have begun manufac-
ture from kelp and government ex-
rerts will be sent to the Pacific Coast
W anu III lHe 'SApSl lHlSllIdl WOlh.
Production will be slow for long
time, the secretary points out, and
demand for potash in other industries
is SO great that none manufactured in
the United States will be available
soon for agricultural purposes. His
statement says:
The prices offered under existing
conditions by the manufacturers Of
articles will cause practically the en-
tire output of these concerns to be di-
verified from the fertilizers industry. 1t
would require ninety or more plants,
costing approximately $4,000 and hav-
ing an operating capital of $4,000
each, to produce the quantity needed
for agriculture. This would involve
the assumption that commercial phas-
es of the problem we're satisfactorily

DDS of training men to carry on our
foreign trade follows discussion of
the part the United States has come
to play in international trade. AS a
result of the war the American bust
ness community is rapidly being fore
ed into the worlds trade arena. The
United States has been compelled to
become the worlds producing and
commercial center, and, for a time at
last, the worlds financial center. If
we are to make the most of the OPP
portunity thrust upon us, we must
solve a number of important prabl-
ems. One Of them is this matter of
equipping young men for
service in the export field.
Another is the proper financing of
foreign trade. In this direction we
are making much better progress than
in training exporters. For one thing
the war has forced an improvement
over previous methods. Most imoprt-
ant improvements, however, have been
made as a result of the Federal re-
serve act of 1918, which permits ma
tional banks to accept bills drawn
against actal shipments in foreign
commerce, and also provides for the
of branch banks in
foreign countries.
The report also urges the adoption
OF a definite and continuing foreign

Improved Methods For Men In
Foreign Commerce Is Planned
In Department at Washington

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5.-The
absolute necessity for improved meth
DDS of educating men for foreign trade
is strongly insisted upon by DR.. Ed
ward Ewing Pratt IN his first annual
report as Chief of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
There may be an exception or two.
but the claim is made that most col
leges and universities are doing too
little to train men for this highly i'm
portant work.
Exception is taken to the men with
Only theoretical training who are Of
ten put in charge of commerce class
es in schools and colleges. 1T is to
be regretted that the actual work of
Instruction is not intrusted to men
who have some practical knowledge

acquaintance, a mere book knowledge
Of foreign trade is inadequate. I do
not mean by this statement to advo-
cate the employment of merely prac-
teal exporters as instructors. But 1
do advocate the employment of men
who have gathered their facts and in
formation by personal investigation.
ard have thus acquired a frst-hand
knowledge and have a practical con-
tact with the things which they pro-
pose to teach"
The criticism of prevailing meth

solved. The department is considering
all phases of the situation
The crippled state of the phosphate
industry is attributed to the high price
Of sulphuric acid, much of which is
being used now in the manufacture of
war munitions. The price has jumped
from S. to $25 ton. Demand for the
acid is so heavy that abandoned plants
are being refitted for its manufacture.
The Bureau of Soils meanwhile is ex-
perimenting with the manufacture of
phosphoric acid as a substitute for
sulphuric
Nitrate prices have advanced since
the war began, but there is an abund-
ant supply of heterogeneous fertilizing
material, and the Department is en-
deavoring to find methods to cheaper
the cost of manufacture. The secre-
tary concludes with a warning to
farmers to conserve all fertilizing ma
forials on the farm. He urges crop
rotation, proper use of fertilizers and
also use of lime to increase produc-
tiyity of the soil.

BOY STUDENT WAS
"GIRL' FOR night,
then GOT FIRED

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 5.-Fifteen-
eyar-old George De Ford, freshman in
the Nebraska State University, has set
that institution by the ears by dress
ing himself up in girls clothing and
in that garb attending mixer" from
which all boys and men were ordered
barred.
Implicated with young De Ford were
nine young women, and the ten have
been suspended by the. university au-
thorities for a month. Four of the
nine young women elaborated with
Ie Ford in the gathering of the nee
essary materials and in adding the
finishing touches after he had donned
the essential of the garb. The other
FIVE lodged at the same house and be-
cause they knew all about it and
didn't tell, the dean included them.
Landlady Knew OF 1t.
Afterward it was discovered that
landlady also had known of the Joke
that was to be sprung, and she was
ordered to appear before the dean and
give reasons why her boarding house
should not be put on probation.
Surprising themselves to be free
from the espionage of mems optics, the
girls at the mixer" INDUCED their fan
cies in the matter of costume. There
were Gold Dust Twins, Charlie Chap
Inns, George Washingtons, circus la
dies, presumably small girls in short
skirts, testers, Peck's Bad Boy and
even fire crackers. A football eleven
was present in custome. There also
was a bevy of pajama girls in the
garb made famous on the stage.
In and out of the motley crowd De
Ford moved several hours without de-
lection He was attired in mildly
costume of blue, with a plated skirt.
On his head he wore red Tam O'Stan-
ter, drawn close abouth is face. The
Eeatest touch was long braid of light
haid that depended from underneath
the cap. He wore girls shoes and a
lavaliere
A newspaper man got hold of the
story and printed it. There was sour
rying in hot haste. DeFord's costume
was traced to the ownership of a girl
in the boarding house and when she
was confronted with the charge of
completely she confessed, and all the
others were brought before the deans
of the two departments.
DeFord is the youngest student in
the university. He is from Staple
hurst, Neb., and is former student in
Midland College, Kansas. He is re-
garded as a prodigy, entering the uni
versity at Is, three years younger than
the average attendance at college.
