the bright glare of the lights, swerved
too much to one side and lost control of
the car when it left the road. The ma
chine dashed through the fence and
turned turtle, pinning all underneath.
The young women were in the back
seat and managed to get out without
assistance, but Mr.. and Mrs. Morse were
caught by the steering wheel and back Of
the front seat and were crushed so badly
that they died instantly.
Mr.. Morse was native of Cabot and
Mrs. Morse was a native of Concord.

Sincere sorrow is expressed in all parts
of the county over the death of Albert Fl.
Cheney of Stowe. A man of sterling in

in fact he was one who had no enemies

to friends and the community. Stowe
will miss him, as he always identified
himself with that which pertained to the
best interests and the welfare OF that
town. In county matters he took an ac-
tive interest. So highly respected was he
that his name was prominently mention
ed in connection with a county office, but
his health was such that he refused to al

is increased by approximately 20 per cent by utilizing the gas and the coke separately.
 "In this country during the past year about 75.000,000 tons of soft coal were converted into 55,000,00o tons of coke at loss of the greater part of the difference between these quantities.
 "One of the craziest processes of na- tional waste has been, that of letting the gases in coke-making 'go up in smoke from the o1d-fashioned beehive oven: for thereby during the past twenty years by-products of the value of hundreds of millions of dollars have been wasted.
 ''The primitive method of making coke was to dump into an oven, from its shape called beehive charge of three tons or so of coal and burn it with restricted air until the gases were

driven out of the oven top and wholly lost. The first step taken toward economy was to conduct enough of this escaping gas in the adjacent beehive to warm up it's charge of coal.
 Although Germay, England and France have been using them a long time. it was not until a few years ago that, American engineers introduced here by-product ovens by which all the is conveyed to tanks or holders, such as may be seen at any municipal gas plants and thence utilized
 The by-products from these gases consist of coal tar, from which the Germans make the valuable aniline dyes and which is largely used for road building.
 From this gas American nanufac- turers also get supply of ilIuminat.

of wood, it penetrates the cotton so that all, animal life. including boll- worms in every stage, becomes extinct in less than an hour and the cotton can be sent without possibility of spreading infection to any mill for manufacture.
 *
 There are only four of these fumi- gating tanks in the country, one at each of the four ports of entry for cot ton-New York, Newark, N. J., Boston and San Francisco. They are under private ownership and are run as business proposition, a charge being made for each bale of cotton sterilized. The plant at Newark was built for it's owners accommodation by one of the great manufacturers located there, as he uses vast quantities of the Egyptian product in making spool cotton.
 Although privately operated, these tanks are under the closest of gov ernment inspection. The bales must be left in the receiving chambers a certain time; the poisonous gas must be of a positive strength; the app1i- ances and chemicals tested and every precaution must be taken to evacuate the gas without risk of life to the men operating the plant.
 One shipment of the infested cotton seed-and it is believed to be the only one-is known to have entered this country, and that was before the quar- antine was established. This lot was taken to Arizona, where a state quar- antine was in force; the infestation was detected and the whole lot burned. It is believed that the pink pest has not succeeded in running the blockade.
 Since July, 1913, the board has quar- antined all cotton seed from foreign countries, and has intercepted several lots, all found to be infested with the pink boll-

 Practically all the nitrates used in the United States in high explosives for purpose of peace and for war are imported from Chile; and until the by a more abundant supply their im- portation may be expected. But in event of war of such character that Chilean shipments be stopped, there are ample quantities of nitrogen avafl- able from soft coal. 1tgnites, and even peat, to make all the explosives that could possibly be needed.
 'If there should not. particularly at the outset, be enough nftrates for nlu- nitionB and for fertilizer too, it must be borne in mind that little fertilizer Is used by the American farmer in raising the staple artioles-wheat, corn, rye, oats. hay and cotton.
 ''The gas that may be made from cekfng coal in the by-product oven is large and cheap source of power when used with gas engines. 1t can be generated wherever wanted and ap- piled to Industrial use. In emergency this power can be converted into eIec- trfcal power for the hxation Of nitro gen from the atmosphere, as the Ger mans, in their peculiar situation, have found necessary. or for running muni. ton factories.
