Nobody loves the sagebrush, yet
somebody is always trying to uplift it.
This is difficult task since its antece-
dents are so bad. Nevada complained
a long time because she was called the
"Sagebrush state;" hunters hated the
plant because of the bitter flavor 1t
impaired to the grouse; prospectors,
settlers, stockmen despised 1t because
it encountered the earth, says New
York Sun. 1t was fit only for rattle
snakes to coil in and strike or for coy
Otes TO blend their tawny skins into
vanishment. Not long ago an Oregon
man cried eureka" He said the sage
brush was the best road building ma.
terial in the West. Now Idaho claims
in the despiSed weed a source of great
wealth and the solution of the problem
of potash shortage: 1.-THE average acre
produces three tons of sagebrush at a
cost of $25. The sagebrush burned in
the kiln gives from % to 80 per cent
potash. The supply is inexhaustible."
The Idaho poet, who called for fes-
tival ito lift the curse from the plant
we know so well and should love"
may now consider himself even with
those who jeered and refused to fore
gather with him.

REMARKABLE FEATS
Of FRENCH SURGEONS

FRENCH FRONT, Dec. 19-Almost
Incredible feats have been and are be-
ing accomplished every day of the
war by the surgeons who treat SOL
diers wounded on the battlefield.
These remarkable feats have increas-
ed in frequency as the stricken men
are more quickly gathered in by the
ambulances and brought to the field
hospitals for surgical intervention.
AT the beginning of the war it was
lot always possible to clear up bat
tlefield of the casualties in less than
three or four days, and on many oc-
casions wounded men waited even
longer before their injuries could be
handled. The result of this was that
large numbers of the wounded sue
cumber from gangrene or blood pois-
oning, or were rendered so feeble
from loss of blood that they were un-
able to undergo operations that were
vitality necessary. 1t was at that time
regarded as a satisfactory result
when sixty per cent of the wounded
brought to the hospitals recovered
eventually from their injuries.
This percentage of losses among the
wounded men would at present be re-
sarded with horror by the military
surgeons who now reckon with per-
feet assurance on saving about nine
tenths of the wounded men coming
under their treatment. During the
battle OF Flanders the percentage of
recoveries among wounded men
brought to the hospitals amounted
to eighty-six.
This striking figure was still fur
ther improved on the occasion of the
recent battle in which the French
wrested from the Germans the fort
OF Malmaison and caused them to
evacuate the Chemin des Danes after
throwing away hundreds of thousands
OF the Grown Princes best troops
in the effort to retain it. The French
surgeons reports after the conclusion
of the fighting and the treatment of
all the wounded show that ninety
men out OF every hundred brought
to hospital recovered from their hurts.
Speed in collecting the wounded is
the greatest factor in bringing about
this progress.
Americans have had much to do
with the speeding up of the ambulance
service. for their ambulances have
been present at every point wherr
fighting has been severe and their
work has been highly praised by the
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-12-19

army commanders. Americans have
done much in providing hospital ac-
commodation near the front as well
, as at the bases.
One instance of American effort in
providing for the accommodation and
/ treatment of the wounded is that the
infringement of Miss Kathleen Park,
OF New York, at her chateau of Annel.
There she has worked almost since
the very beginning of the war. While
the battle for the fort of MaImaison
was in progress the hospital dealt
with considerable number OF wound
ed, who were first bandaged on the
battlefield and then brought down the
river Aisne on board barge fitted
up as a floating hospital
Miss Park says there is only one
thing needed to make her hospital
complete and that is what is known as
an "autochair," composed Of a travel
ing surgical outfit carried in five
automobile wagon-one for the
operating room, one for the radiolgoi-
cal examinations of wounds, one for
carrying bandages and supplies, one
for the staff and the fifth to convey
the tent for the beds on which the
men lie after the operations and while
waiting to be conveyed to the barge
for transport to the hospital base in
the rear. If she possessed the port
able hospital she is convinced that
many lives would be saved, since
rapidity Of treatment is the main fac
ter in dealing with wounds.
Miss Park has working with her in
conjunction with the French military
s,irgeonsa number of American doc
tors, who all participated in the hand
ling OF the French wounded during
the battle Of Malmaison Also she
has with her several American trained
nurses and helpers. Among the doc
tors are Richard Boiling and Robert
Schrock, from New York; George de
Tarovsky, from Chicago; John Moor
head, from the New York Postcard
uate hospital; and Doctors Paul R.

BUREAU EXPOSES
A PLOT To FORCE
DOWN SEED Prices

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec 19.-The State
Bureau Of Markets of the State De-
parttment of Agriculture call the at
tention of the farmers of Georgia to
the fact that they should not be mis-
led by the announced action of the
meeting of the cotton seed crushers
called by the food administration in
Atlanta last week, in fixing the price
OF cotton seed meal at $4,000 per ton
When it became known the pro-
posed purpose of this meeting of crush
ers, held Wednesday, December 10,
in Atlanta, was to reduce the price of
cotton seed meal, Director l.. B. Jack
son, of the state Bureau of Markets.
fled a protest against such action
with Food Administrator A. M. Soule.
on the ground that cotton seed pro-
ducts were already relatively lower
in price than products of a competi-
tive nature in other section of the
country; and, further, that such a re-
duction would have a tendency to
hear the price Of cotton seed remain
ing in the hands of the producer, and
also affect next years price of cotton
seed and at he same time will have
a lded tendency to depress the
price Of this years crop both of vel
vet bean and peanut meal.
Gclot.9 to this meeting of cotton
see shers and its action, the Sta'e
Bv~eau of Markets makes the follow
ing atement to the farmers Of Geor-
gia:
Immediately following the crush
ers meeting, the leading papers of the
state carried the announcement that
the price of of cotton seed meal had
been reduced that day to the extent
Of $500 per ton, as a result of which
there would be a saving to the peo-
PIE of Georgia of a million dollars
or more
Tho State Bureau of Markets
wishes to warn the producers of Geor-
gia against any action on their part
based upon this publication; for it
can readily be seen how such an an
noupcement would have a tendency
to lower the price of cotton seed in
tie hands Of the producer.
AS matter Of fact, however, no
actual reduction whatever was made
In the price OF cotton seed meal, the
actual figures showing the statement
to be unfounded The leading daily
papers of the state Wednesday morn
ing, December IL, the day Of the meet
ing quoted per cent amonia,-36 per
cent protein cot seed meal sold
Tuesday, December II at SAT per ton.
The crushers and the food admins
tration fixed maximum price of
$47,50 per ton for the same grade of
meal. As a matter of fact, therefore,
the price was actually boosted so
cents per ton, and the actual figures
show thgt the statement as to the re-
dcution of Sc per ton was untrue
Such. statement deceives both con-
sumner and producer. The consumer
is not getting a cheaer price on meal
and the producer is misled as to the
value of his product The foregoing
statement il made because the State
Market Bureau wants the people of
Georgia, and particularly the form
ers, correctly informed"
