As soon as war was declared the prices rose to the clouds. In 1914 muriate of potash was selling for S39 ton. It doubled and quadrupled in value, and by December, 1915, it was $500 per ton. Then Urcle Sam began to sit up and take mo- tice He had had his chemical and min ing experts at work before the war be- gan. He now added to the force, and since then we have been taking potash o1t of certain salt lakes of our western deserts, out of the flue dust of our ce- ment mills and blast furnaces, and from the seaweed which grows in great quan- titles in the waters off the California coast The government is investigating certain rocks of the United States which are rich in potash. and the green sands along the coastal plain of the Atlantic which contain the same salt In short, the results of our investigations are such that we expect to be able to make our selves independent of other nations as far as potash is concerned for all time to come.
 But first let me tell you something about potash. I have been talking with the experts of the bureau of mines and those of the experimental lab oratory of the bureau of soils on the Arlington farm. At the latter place they are using processes similar to those recently adopted in the cement plants of the country. We all know something about pure potash as drug. We use chloride of potash to gargle our throats, caustic potash to take away warts. and bromide of potash to put us to sleep when our nerves are excited. Some of us need Seidlitz powders. another potash compound, when we wake up. Permanganate of potash is a disinfectant largely used by the surgeons on the European bat tlefields, and cyanide of potash is one of the most active of poisons.
 The agricultural experts tell me that potash is a great source of our food supply. It stimulates the plants like cocktail; it contributes to the strength of the stalks and fills out the kernels of our cereals. We have to use large quantities of it for our potatoes and other truck crops; we use it for cot ton, tobacco and oranges and also for peaches and all kinds of fruit crops. Just now the great demand for it is in the southern and eastern parts of the country.
 This valuable stuff is an element which is scattered through almost

CONSTIPATION AND INDIGESTION.

These are twin evils. Persons suffer
ing from indigestion are often troubled
with constipation. Mrs. Robert Allison,
Nation, H., writes that when she first
moved to Mattoon she was a great suf-
ferer from indigestion and constipation.
Food distressed her and there was a
feeling like heavy weight pressing on
her stomach and chest. She did not rest
well at night, and felt worn out a good
part of the time. One bottle of Cham
berlain's Tablets corrected this trouble
so that she has since felt like different
person.

Nowadays, when any one wishes to con vey the supreme of opprobium and disap- proval and scorn and contempt to any per son they say he IS a Bolshevik, and when they wish to brand wild or crazy or dis honorable or disgusting act with the worst possible brand they call it Bolshevik act This use of the expression, 'Boishevik, as a vehicle for the extreme of odium and of hatred and bathing and of ridicule may be said to have become general in every allied and neutral nation of the earth. In fact, 1t is to be doubted not if the Germans them selves use it in reference to expression ot their contempt for their despicable allies. No human expression since Adam isped his first word on the first dawn in the gar den has meant so much of derision and GOV cred such range of infamy as 'Bolshevik.
 In America 1t has come to be the fighting word You can call man almost anything you like and get away with tiff you arc big enough, but you better not call him 'Bolshevik' unless you want to go to war, no matter how big you are or how little he may be.

HOW CAN GERMANY PAY?

(Henry Sterling Chapn of the Vigil antesl
 As we read of the deliberate devastations of towns and destruction of personal prop erty in France by retreating Germans, hu- man nature revolts and the desire to wreak equivalent vengeance upon the Germans when our turn comes we are sure It will-rises in every man mind as sense of justice.
 Then our centuries of civilization assert themselves and we realize that it Is not pos sible for the allies to do anything to Ger man homes and villages that is equivalent to what the Huns have done to us.
 How can Germany pay?
 Here a way.
 Assuming that we bring the war lords to their knees we should demand that Ger man labor transport trees from Germany and plant them in France until every tree has been restored.
 Demand that German buildings of ap- propriate character be torn down and their stones and plumbing and their contents be transported to France until every house and every household in France has been re- stored.
 Make German labor perform this until it is completed, with provision only for the essential food, lodging and clothing.
 In this way the destruction the Hun has performed will be visited upon him without further economic loss and the lesson will be taught in every German village from which the trees and houses are selected for deportation.
 Any indemnities for damage to human life. such as are ordinarily computed at the end of the war, should be entirely indepen- dent of this physical reconstruction of Hun damage.
 This would teach the real lesson in the right way to the people of Germany.
 New York Evening Mail: Germany wants her colonies back, announces Dr. w. s. Solf, German colonial secretary. We'll why didn't she keep them when she had them?
Bisbee daily review., 1918-09-26

A hoodoo still seems to cling to the Hog Island shipyard, the biggest in the world, and from which the most is expected in this war. First it was graft charge against men in high places, connected with the site and building of the yard. Now it is charge against the workmen; not all of them, but enough to seriously impair the yards pro- duction. Charles Piez, vice-president of the Emergency Fleet corporation, made the charge to a U s. senate committee the other day, and he had the proofs. He de clared that the Hog Island yard was about half full of slackers and loafers and incom- petents, who not only lay down on the job while at work but who also laid off two or three days every week, instead of working full time at least, as they should do to prop erly back up their brethren on the high seas and in France It is declared these men are composed largely of draft evaders and they will be sent at once to the trenches on the western front. Ball players. actors, bar bers, pugilists, these are well to the front in the lists of the worst offenders. Drastic ac- ton IS expected soon in the matter of these shirkers and slackers, and it cannot be taken too soon and 1t cannot well be too drastic.
