FERTILIZERS MEAS
 URlNG UP TO GRADE
Four Inspectors in FieId-OnIy One Shipment Held For Def- ciency-TestS Show Value EX- ceeding Requirements.

Little Rock, April 15.-That the fertilizer materials being sold in Ar kansas this season are measuring well up to the grades guaranteed by manufacturers is shown by the report of Commissioner John H. Page, on the official analysis of more than 300 samples taken by inspectors in var ious parts of the state, representing. practically every brand of fertilizer on the market.
 Only one shipment was held up be- cause of difficulty in the quality of the ingredients, as between the guar anteed analysis and the official test, and Commissioner Page reports that the manufacturer, upon being ad- Vised, promptly withdrew the goods from sale and changed his formula to meet the requirements of the law The disposition among manufacturers and dealers throughout the state is to aid the department in the enforce ment Of all the provisions of the fer. tilizer act, especially that section re- quiring that the quality of the goods shall come up to the standards shown in the guaranteed analysis.
 Four inspectors have been in the field and practically every county in the state has been visited Efforts .are made to obtain samples from all the shipments of fertilizer whether half dozen sacks or a car load, and as these samples are procured they are forwarded to the Department for analysis by the authorized chemist
 Frequently the test analysis shows a value exceeding by several dollars per ton the claimed value of the fer tilizer, the excess in several instances amounting to as much as $5 per ton. The average analysis in the 300 tests that have been made is $1.50 above the guaranteed standards. The move ment of fertilizer is larger this sea son than last, shipments being un- usually active On account of the scarcity of potash, great deal of cotton seed meal is being used in the manufacture Of fertilizer this sea son.

TRAINING FOR CITIZENSHIP

It is said that the government will encourage the colleges and the uni versailles to offer courses designed especially to help immigrants who come to us, with a view of teaching them patriotism and other duties of citizenship. The European war has tested many of foreign birth and 1t is regretable to note that not a few have been found who would aid the mother country to the injury of this country, which has given them home free from military duty and the enormous expense of war.
 But there are already courses in citizenship, economies, sociology, eth ics, logic, etc, opened to immigrants, whether citizens of this country or not. Our problem is to reach the men and women of foreign birth who are not ready for college training. How are we to reach those who sin cerely desire to learn more about our government and citizenship in this IcounWy?
 There is no better way than through social center meetings al tGe school houses, where men, wome1 and chil- dren may meet, exchange ideas, dis cuss social industrial and economic problems and where the American point of view may be had. Truly there is great opportunity in these social center meetings. The eXten- sion lecturers may reach many through them and the people them- selves may work out their own prob lems
 If properly conducted such meet ings will do much for industry, fru- gality, sobriety and citizenship Farm and Ranch

London, June 2.-Chemistry' inn portance in the future prosperity of the nation has been recognized by Uni- versity College, London, which has just completed the construction of a new chemical 1aborat ny, with an in stallation and reference library which it is intended shall become one of the most complete and comprehensive of it's kind in the world.
 The faculty of the college in car rying out its plans for the advance ment of chemical science in Britain sought for ideas in the principal mod ern laboratories both in this country and abroad. The basic idea was to provide for the needs of independent research and the experimental depart rnent has been designed for the car rying-out of tests on a large scale with the view of utilization of new dis coveries in connection with the indus tries of the country. During the war the government has taken advantage of the facilities offered, and much valuable work has been achieved.

BRITISH DEFENSE. |OF DESERT OASIS BRAVE STRUGGLE
Force at EI-Dueidar Drives off Six Times Its Number
 Tn Severe Battle.

London, June 2-The defense by &he British at the Egyptian desert lpostkat El-Duidar during the Turklsn raid of April 23 deserves to be chron- fcled as among the memorable incl dents of the war, according TO Feu- ter's special correspondent at the general headquarters of the Egyptian exnedftionary force. On that Sunday E16O British soldiers held a position far too extended for such a small garrison, against a force of Turks and Arabs six times their own mum Der, says the correspondent.
 The location of defence is a small oasis in a depression in the sandy waste about 8 miles east of the Suez Ef-analf The British had erected two Eredoubts and several small isolated posts in the vicinity of a grove of date palms. These adefenses were not completed at the time of the raid
 Tn a mist so thick that the defend- CTS were barely able to discern the fbarbed wire 50 feet in advance of their redoubts, the attack began at 8 o'clock in the morning Rifle fire beat back the first assault very quickly, according. to the correspond ent. the Turks retiring to refoEm.
 Captain Roberts of the Royal Scots F-usiliers was in command. In the absence of communication trenches, l he was unable. after the mist lifted l at 8 o'clock to send endorsements, ammunition and messages to the liso- lated posts, as the attackers rifle and luachine gun fire swept the interven- ling spaces. One post was held by eight men, three of whom were wounded early in the engagement To the extreme right, some of the British law out in the open and fought off enemy attempts to reach the rear Iof the defenses-
 Returning to the attack. the enemy brought up mountain gun and with Iat fierceIy sheIIed the oasis, but, ac- ] cording to the correspondent, the aim was wretched and little damage was done From 9 ridge to the left a machine gun raked the eastern range ] Of the oasis
 The attacking force numbered 120 Turkish camel corps and about 75O Arabs, together with two mountain guns and 60 arti11erymen. The Brit ish, after holding their positions throughout the day, resisted the final fand most desperate attack which be-
 gan at T o'clock at night, this assault consisting of three 'rushes- When if had been beaten off, most of the
 enemy dead were found within 50 yards of the British trench, one Turk
 being found within 20 yards The de-
 lenders had suffered a great many
 casualties.
 Meanwhile news of the attack had reached brigade headquarters, seven
