so chic and smart being so wonder
fullv artistic. The jacket with its
double peplum, has the elevated

a slioht, youthful figure. while a

embroidered in a Renaissance design
of self-tone silk. adds a note Of grace
fui distinction. The lining of flower

Greene County.
Special to Times Republican.
Des 'Moines, July 29.-t is possible
the state Of Iowa may establish a
plant for refining potash at Goose lake
in Greene county.
Deposits of this much needed fertil-
izer have been found at the lake and
samples are now being analysed \ to
determine its quality. If it proves TO
be of good quality and Is found in exe
tensive quantities the state may go
into the business of handling the pro-
duct.
Potash is now selling at $126 per
ton and is said to be almost indispen-
sable to the production of a cotton
crop In some places in the south. It
was formerly imported in big quantit-
les from Germany and was compare.

ard commercial FERTILIZER of widest
sale known to producers today and Is
used on allNworn out soils.
There are 500 acres in Goose lake
owned by the state. 1t Is now thought
that this area will produce a big sup
supply Of the much needed fertilizer It
requires only about $1,000 to establish
small refining plant such as is used
for handling and turning out the COM
mercia product in places in Nebraska
where the stuff has been found.
