Forty Days Of Shortage
Came To an End Today

dent Carberry to the Press two weeks
ago being fulfilled almost to the day
According to that prediction, by the
end of the month the company will
have caught up with back orders,
though there is a large acreage which
was to have been planted or had bee
planted to corn which has beer
abandoned, and the date for overtak-
ing orders may be shorteneu.
The water shortage has lasted fo.
forty days, being without a parable
in the history Of the valley.
The extent of the damage is still.

M. w. Conkl:ng has estimated the
loss at 100000 a day, which would
make $4,OOO,OOO, but the probable loss
is between $2,OOO,OOO and $4,000, 900
or nearly enough to pay the entir,

The loss comes in what otherwise
would have been the greatest crop

as it is now, it is about twelve nil

who will suffer greatly, and the val

needless loss.

CeIts Discovered SOAP,

Soap appears to have been discover
ed by the Celts. for the name is de
rived from the Celtic word ">ebon."
1t seems strange that such early wan-
dcrcrS should have been familiar with
soap. but if they had the name they
must certainly have had the article it
stood for Moreover. it is quite con
ceivable that nomadS using wood fires
could accidentally discover soap. All
woods have Il certain amount of min.
eral salts. chiefly those of potash in
their fbers. After burning these are
left in the form Of carbonate. which Il

made in 1850 by Cadet de GasSicourt,

DR.. Douglass w. Montgomery Of San
Francisco has this to say about it in
the Journal OF the American Medical
Association:
Our forefathcrS imagined sulphur
compounds to be the worst smelling

plentifully supplied it with them. In
comparison, however, with the produc-
tiOnS OF modern chemists the sulphur
compounds of our forefathers are as

imagine what n substance must smell
like when Il chemist such as BunSen
would feel impclled to baptize it with
the name cacolyl.
Cacodyl combined with iron or SO

for life was to find the range Of the
