FAR BETTER THAN \ GOLD NINE


At another time than this not only
would the discovery in cuba Of a
great deposit Of potash be recognized
as an event Of utmost importance, but
it would create not little excitement
as something sure to bring about no
table changes in several great busi-
nesses
Potash is n substance of which
plants need only a little, but that lit
tie they must have to make more than
a miserable growth, and, while prac-
tically all lands contain it in consid-
cradle quantities. the available
amount is usually small and quickly
exhausted by the ordinary processes
of agriculture. Germany has SEEM
ngly mexhuusuble deposits of low
grade potash, and upon them the
farmers all over the world using so
called artificial fertilizers have learn
ed 20 depend for this essential ele-
ment of crop prosperity, The war
first put up the price of potash to a
dizzy altitude by diNertnE huge guam
titles to its own needs and then the
supply for the farmers of other ma
tions was almost completely cut off
hy the closing of the German ports.
Since then the peaceful fractions Of
the world have been searched as nev-
er before for this Chemical but for
the most part in vain. If the stories
from cuba turn out TO be well found
ed. that island has a new product that
may prove even more valuable to her
than sugar or tobacco.

hygienio and sanitary measures that
look to the saving from the Incl
dence Of disease rather than curing
has made itself manifest in the de-
creased death rate for the cities
which formerly, with their higher
percentages, pulled up the general
average even when countrywide con-
ditions were favorable to a low rate.
As things 80, from this time on, as
the several states increase the eff
cheney OF their boards Of health and
the local boards Of the great popula-
ton centers are able to apply rigidly
the sanitary knowledge that is theirs
the city death rates should drop even

centage that win increase the general

If health chiefs were more benefit

could control an the factors as to|
housing, food and water supply and

tremendous gain I'm the general health
Of an communities Indeed, the very
concentration Of city life, which al
lows administrative measures to bel

controlled areas acts In favor Of the
absolute control Of disease, so that
the hopeful thing is that the cities Of
the future, as the control of all the
large factors determining communi-

over, the encouragement that comes
from the lower death rate should |
lead all concerned to see that any in |

held as criminal a matter as 1t is in
axcusable. That any community

FINANCIAL SUPREMACY or NGW

A few years since, about the time
of the passage Of the present federal
banking act, there were some who
hoped, and some who feared that, by

fuvouby as possible for building up
new financial ccnters New York city
would cease TO be the great financial
center Of the nation 1t was even
limited that with such manipulation
as being rcgional bank center at-

HUGHES AND HuERTA.

Mr.. Hughes continues TO make
much Of hia charge that President
Wilson instructed John Lind TO de-
maBd the retirement Of lIucrta from
the presidency Of Mexico, ana seems
to think that this constitutes a com-
plete case against the Wilson admin
istratlon.
Has Mr.. Hughes ever read the Mex
lean constitution II 20, he ought
TO remember that under the prov-
Fions Of that instrument Hucrta was
not eligible to the presidency by vir-
tue of his occupancy Of the office Of
provisional president In so far as
the administration Insisted, through
Mr. Lind, upon Hucrta's elimination

BURNED TO DEATH
Are Six Adults and Five Chill
dren in a Hospital Blaze
in Canada.

FARNHAM, Quebec, Oct. 27.-Six
adults and five children lost their lives
in a fire which destroyed ST. Elizabeth
hospital early Thursday. This fore
noon the ruins were still blazing and
il was impossible to approach them to
search for from fifteen to twenty-five
persons reported missing.
The institution was managed by the
Grey nuns and comprised two build
ings. one for hospital patients and the
other school for children.
Up to noon no bodies had been found
but the names Of four missing, who are
believed to have persisted, were known.
They were paralytics. Survivors were
taken to many Farnham homes making
difficult the work OF compiling a list
Of dead. Many were injured by jump
ing from windows and four children
may die.
The grey nuns displayed great hero
ism. One sister climbed to the third
floor and risked her life handing help
less through windows to firemen and
citizens on ladders.
An early estimate placed the prop
erty loss at $l35,0OO.
