of the ammonia used for explosives

nitrates which came as by-product
from coal were used to make fertilizer.
Owing to the relatively small farming

crops that will feed the population
while the blockade continues.
But all the nitrates had to be used to
manufacture cannon food. and there
was none left for the crops Of 1913;
that is why they fell off The fixation
plant filled the deficit: that is why the
crops of 1916 have been plentiful.
To obtain accurate statement OF
the nitrate situation recourse has been

A Pounding.

Pounding has quite different
meaning to me now from what il
had when | was just lad. In fact
the pounding itself is of a different
nature. The first pounding that
ever received was composed al
together of withes, but since
have been trying to preach, the
poundings have taken on a new
form and | enjoy them.
We want to express our thanks
to the good people of Iuka for the
many good things which were sent
to US Tuesday evening. We take
as an expression Of your love
towards our family.
We hope to live worthy of your
love and to be a blessing to the
