AT present all the nitrates used in
this country in the manufacture of
powder and fertilizer come from the
plains of Chilli. In time Of war an
enemy could cripple us by blockad-
ing the Chilian ports.
A rev years ago, a system was dis
covered by which these precious nj
trates may, by the use of water DOW
er, be literally drawn from the at
mosphere. The process is covered by
multitude of patents owned by a
heavily capitalized monopoly. This
concern is now operating a big plant

dends for the monopoly aud limited
returns to the nation.
The Powder Trust" has been on
the alert, hoping to be able 10 defeat
,, ;al, .,
Ell its control of the powder market.
Two MonObolies Combine
When the mat ter came to an issue
in the House, the Powder Trust"
and the nitrate monopoly buried
whatever differences may have exist
ed between them and united to fight
the construction of a plant owned
and operated by the government.
The combination almost won out but
at the last moment lacked three
votes.
1t is expected that the government
plant will develop 10000 horse
power. About $4,000 horse power
will be required to make the powder
needed by the government in times
of peace and the remainder will be
used to make fertilizer for which
there is an almost limitless demand
from southern farmers. 1t is be-
lieved the government will be able
to reduce the price of fertilizer SO
per cent, thus saving the farmers
many million dollars year.
In case of war, the entire product
of the plant would be devoted to
military needs and would be suffi-
cient to meet almost any emergency.
Altogether, the nitrate plant seems
to be the biggest and sanest prepar-
edness measure so far passed in Con-
gress.

Infancy of Organized Baseball

Recently a celebration held at Coop,

question Of Just when and where base
ball was first played as an organized
sport with rules and fixed places for the
different members OF the teams when
in the field.
To Abncr Doubleday Of Coopertown
is given the credit for the idea Of placing
the players in practically the positions
they occupy in the game today.
The late Albert C. SpAlding. in writ
ing Of the early history OF baseball, says
In the days when Abner Doubleday
attended school at Cooperstown tls3al
il was a common thing for two dozen or
more schoolboys to join in game Of
ball Doubtless, as in my later cHPe-
ricnccs, collisions between the players in
attempting to catch the batted ball were
frequent and injury. due 10 this cause
or 10 the practice of putting out the
runner by hitting him with the ball,
often occurred.

them TO field positions. each with GER
