have been entered into with number of manufacturer for the entire surplus output of their plants, and indications point to ex- tensive developments along this line in the near future.
 The. production of potassium carbonates, or potash, from woods, is one of the oldest of purely chem ical industries, and was fairly ex- tensive as far back as fifty years ago in the United States, Russia and Canada The rapid develop ment of the well-knoWn Stassfurt potash deposits after 1870 had an immediate effect on the production of potash from wood ashes, how ever, so much so that within twen- ty years the amount produced in this way was not half the worlds production.
 The industry in America was slowly undermined until at the present time the amount of pearl ash or refined potashes," made either in the United States or Can ada, is insignificant. Ashes are still used for fertilizer to a small ex- tent; farmers often lixiyiate them to produce a lye for soft soap; and an industry still exists for making commercial potash, but it is very small. Before the war practically all our potash was coming from the Stassfurt mines. giving German Kali syndicate virtual monopoly.
 Present conditions in the world commerce have made necessary the subttution of something to re- place the German potash whose has been cut off. To a small degree. potash operations have within the past two years been undertaken in several parts of the country. but the plan recently evolved for using yellow pine waste is the most extensive yet under taken. and promises immense pos abilities of development for the South.

Stock Law.
w. H. Moore, Recorder.

In talking to parties, on Saturday last, in Fl Dorado, it seems that there is a wrong impression in some localities regarding my ac- tion in the legislature relative to the Stock Law.
 did nothing except what l promised the people during the county canvass last spring. At that tune I said this, Personally, 1 was neither for nor against stock law. but if you send me to the Iegislature 1 would endeavor to pass a law submitting the question of stock law to the voters ot Union County, for them to vote upon at a special election as to whether they wanted a stock law or not.
 I passed a measure of this kind through the House, it was defeated in the Senate. only redeemed my promise, believing such a measure to be Democratic.

 The General stated in substance. as follows;
 Under the terms of the National Defense act, which became a law on June 5, last, the Civilian Train ing camps became a part of our national military establishment.

 These camps are open to all male citizens of the United States between the age of l8 to 55, with the restriction that those beyond the age 45 may attend only when no expense is incurred by the gov ernment because of their attend ance. It IS absolutely required that all attendants be men of good character and standing in their re- spective communities: that they be physically sound, and that they have at least the equivalent of a high school education.
 The government furnishes trans portation totle at e d nts from | is home to Camp and return, subsist- ance and uniform while at camp, and all such things as tents, cots, blankets, etc. necessary for his well-being.

The Indian Fakir

Captain Jebb said that, with a
dozen fellow officers, he was once
sitting at mess in India in a room

A fakir appeared soliciting aims.

"A unique situation confronts
Major League baseball. With six
teen clubs at death grips in mad
pennant chase comes the grim
shadow of war and throws the
scene into a hopeless confusion of
lights and shades.
''The draft was impartial and

losing their stellar players rested
upon every club equally. But that
does not mean that each club suf-

fifth on four singles, base ON

dribbled across in the sixth, on
two bases on balls, a triples passed
ball and two errors. In the sew
enth, Avery whacked the apple
along the right foul line for home
run. Two hits, steal and two er-
rors netted the visitors three more
in the eighth. For good measure
one more run was added in the
ninth. Shelly had been given
base on balls and then stole second.
j. Mitchell tapped an easy ground

Lohr overlooked the little point
of keeping at least one foot on the
bag. Shelly rounding third kept
right on for the plate and scored
standing up when our first base
man retained the ball for circula-
tion later on.
But three NJ. S. P. players
reached second base until the ninth
inning. This happened once in

achievement be gained.

We never can reach the goal OF

believe in our God-given power to
do so; until we are convinced that
we are masters of our will and that
the Creator has endowed us with
strength to bend circumstances to
aid us in the realization of oul

Our energy must not be allowed
to run to waste in longing without
action. Our latent strength must
be developed steadily and persist.
emily, all our reserves must be
utilized; all our powers concen.

the accomplishment of the work
we have marked out for ourselves.
With eyes ever fixed on the
ideal, we must work with heart

that never grows dim; with q
resolution that never wavers; with
a patience that is akin to genius.
As we advance, our ideal as steadi.
