Certainly I'll help you with a little
expert advice" said Agitator, doing his
best to hide I grin. It's apparent to
any thinking man that all Samson
needs is a few hard knocks. There's
something complex about a mules
psychology that needs just that sort Of
treatment. Now can sell you a splen-
did hammer to wallOp him with. That
will administer the proper psychic
stimulus. Then l have some excellent
axle grease here, compounded of mix
ture of labor trouble and industrial un-
rest. Just rub little Of that into the
machinery of the treadmiii."
So Public bought the hammer and
the axle grease, which was really glue
incognito. and went back to Samson
At heart Public was a kindly man, and
he felt that it was unnecessarily cruel
to hit Samson with the hammer, but he
had implicit confidence in Agitator, so
he spat on his hands and let Samson
have few good ones, which nearly
broke the mules back, but failed to
produce any tangible results in the
way of increased speed. Then as a
last resort Public took up the fake
axle grease, but as he was about to
rub 1t into the machinery he saw
something that made him hesitate and
then send for the repair man. Agita-
tor, it seems. had underrated his in
| telligenCe.
Well" ,aid Public, 1--WE taken the
advice of my friends" (strong accent
on the friends), "but from now on I'm
going to use my own judgment"
So while the repair man straighten-
ed out the kinks in the machine Public
pulled the bags of excess taxes from
Samson's back and treated the mule to
good meal of his customary food.
Presto! The mule began to run, the
tEeadmill began to buzz, and the board
of directors voted to raise Public's sal
ary for increasing the prosperity of
Prosperity Town.
But that is not the end of the story.
Some enterprising sleuth linked up the
injury which had been done to the

Samson is a. strong, nay, stronger
than ever.
Samson is q good, constructive citi-
zen. It's his job to run the treadmill
that turns the wheels Of industry. If
Samson should quit his job all the fac
tories in Prosperity Town would have
to close their doors, and factories, by
the way, are the mainstay Of Prosperi-
ty Town. Any time you happen to
pass the treadmill you can see Samson
doing his standing marathon. He new
or seems to tire at his Job. There are
folks In Prosperity Town who think
that Samson, as an industrial factor,
is capital, but we hesitated to state
the fact for fear you might accuse us
Of trying to perpetrate pun.
Samson's driver is a man Public, an
Intelligent, well meaning person who is
Just beginning to get along famously
with Samson. There was a time, how
ever, when Public was so engrossed
with the affairs Of his numerous fam
aly that he hadn't much time left for
the occupation which gave him his in
come, and mule driving requires study
Just like medicine, military tactics,
mixing mint juleps or any Of the other
exact sciences.
Something happened recently, how
ever. which caused Public to take a
keener interest in his Job. He was
nome eating lunch one day when a
man named Agitator, former resident
Of Prosperity Town, passed the tread
mill Of industry, and, seeing that 1t

1t his friend Legislator, who ran a mill
down the road and who professed to
know all there was to be known about
muleology. Legislator was not only
willing but eager to give advice on
the subject
Its as plain as the nose on your
face what ails that mule" he said,
sticking his thumbs In the armholes of
his vest and shifting his cud, after the
fashion Of sturdy Yankee lawmakers.
You're feeding him too we'll, and
you're not giving him enough work.
Cut down his diet of profits and mix
some deficiency In his food. Then put

Public, breathing a sigh Of relief,
tried Legislators prescription on Sam
son, but the treatment merely had the
effect of reducing the mules energy
still further. After a few moments
more of head scratching, Public decid-
ed to consult Agitator. AgitatoT was
a wise man. At least he talked we'll.
and Public at that time was very sus-
ceptibls to oratory.

Our tabeI nacle has been erect
ed (many years agn), has been
seated, stoves placed in it and is
now ready for use for the great
religious movement organized to
begin the 18th inst, and was be-
gun yesterday with three servic-
es therein, viz: Sunday school
ard preaching services in the
morning ard evening, the form
er rendered by Rev. E. L. Carr,
and The latter by Rev. W, E. Ice,
Evangelist Forsythe failing to
materialize as expected, on ac-
count of his wife having become
sick, as was telegraphed. He is
confidently expected to be here
for services hext Wednesday
night, when the real work of the
revival will begin, to continue
until the 23rd prox. Duling this
time large things may be expect
ed, as the citadel of his satanic
majesty will be bombarded with
vigor until he capitulates uncon-
ditionally. In these strenuous
times such a campaign is in great
need until wrong shall slacken it's
grip upon the minds of evil doers.
and the righteous kingdom shall
become the rule followed by all
and everywhere prevail. Our re-
llgious activities Tor the time be-
ing have consolidated and will so
remain until the revival is ended.
1t seems our Y. M. G. A. peo-
pie are very active just now to
equip that organization with
sufficiency to enable it to per-
form the war operations under
taken by it. There will be no
slacKers or 1ight-minded people
to avoid duty so long as there ic
a need, when something can be
done to aid our soldiers, save
suffering and shorten the dura-
tion of the war. If money will
hasten the end, by all means let
it be given, instead of life, for
who is it that will not give mon
ey freely for life?
Well, the hunting season is op-
en- and while open what else is
not open as well? It seems that |
the season for manning for life
and killing people is also open.
Already the newspapers are filled
with accounts Of horrifying acci-
dents, but it seems we need not |
go from home to find them! we
have them at our door. No later
than last Saturday. a short dis
tance outside our village, a little |
girl was shot by one or both of a |
couple of hunters, resulting in
one shot taking effect in her eye
and a numerous sprinkle over her
body, thus manning her for life. |
This is sad, and doubtless the
person or persons inflicting the
wrong will say. could not help
it. While this is a popular ex-
cuse. it may be wondered at
whether true. AS rule, it may
readily be concluded that hunters
are careless or become so excited |
that they take no thought of sur
roundinqs and act so inconsider-
ate that accidents OCCUR readily.

Our Future Potash Sup
ply.

Washington, Nov. 10. Especial
Correspondence According to
Hugh Gibson, special newspaper
correspondent in Europe, ore of
the reasons why Germany hangs
so tenaciously to the territory
comprised by AIsace and Lor-
raille is because Of vast deposits
of potash therein, larger than
any heretofore worked in the
Prussian Empire, and on which
Germany relies to continue her
monopolization of the world pot
ash trade after the war.
One of the insistent demands
of France is that the end of the
war will see the restoration of the
two provinces which were wrest-
ed from her by Bismarck in 1870,
a program to which the United
States is in no way committed.
But the treatment which Ger
many has accorded in the past to
American purchasers of her pot
ash would make the restoration
of these provinces to France q
matter much to be desired if our
main reliance for source of pot
ash supply should be in Europe
However, much has been done
since the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war and the consequent cut
ting off of the German source, to
make it possible to secure potash
at home. For instance, new
enterprise on the Pacific coast is
the extraction of potash from the
furnace fue dust of cement kilns,
which now runs as high as 80
per cent. Another process is the
treatment of cement dust with
f1uorspar and water, whereby one
lirm recently produced 800 tons
of K20 in six months. realizing
on it's sale a let profit of about
$4,000. The American Trona
Company has discovered a prac-
tical way of separating potash
from soda salts and expects soon
to be able to put 40, 900 tons an
nually on the market from the
large deposits of chloride Of po-
tassium to be found in the vlcin-
ity of Searles Lake, California,
and in that state also experi-
ments have for some time been
conducted to recoverp potash from
the giant kelp, seaweed found
along the coast. It is reported
that deposits in Connecticut will
shortly be yielding a high grade
of potash.
Ellwood Hendrick, of the A.
merican Chemical Society, names
several possible sources of potash
as by-product of sugar factor
les. cement plants, and blast fur
naces, and after looking over the
entire field of possibilities in the
United States Walter KutzIeb as
sures us that by a proper co-ord-
ination of effort we can produce
two million tons of potash annu-
ally which could be sold to Amer
lean farmers at. SIS per ton.
