 nished with spouts discharging into the side and back of the reverberator' ies
 These furnaces are fired with pow dered coal and this feature is one of the most interesting of the entire plant. It will be described in some detail a little later For the purposes of the reduction in the reverberatories it will suffice to say that the powdered fuel is fed from bins by means of variable speed screw cOnveyOrs, drop ping into mixing pipes. of which there are four to each furnace, where it is mixed with air at a pressure of four cunces-about that of the ordinary blacksmith's forge.
 The mixture of powdered coal and air ignites immediately on entering the furnace. the color of the flame near the admission nozzle being a brownish red which changes within few inches into a reddish white and almost in stantly into an intense and dazzling blue white blaze which effects an all most complete combustion and real izes practically every heat unit con tained in the coal The slight residue of ash passes out partly with the slag and partly with the blast which, before going to the dust chamber and stack, serves to heat a battery of three Ster- ling water tube boilers which. with the addition of two direct fired boilers. fired with powdered coal, constitute the source of steam supply for the en- tire plant.
 The slag from the reverberatories is handled in the same manner as that from the blast furnace and is taken to the slag dump in the same style of cars The matte is tapped out on the side of the furnace into ladies and thence goes to the converters in the same way as that from the blast furnace
 Converter Section
 The present converter equipment consists of three Great Falls type con verters with twelve-fOot shells con nected with the blowing engines in the power house and presenting no feat ures of unusual interest, practice in this department of reduction having been brought close to perfection.
 It may be noted in passing that room has been provided for the in- stallation of two additional converter units whenever the same may be re- quired.
 The copper from the cOnverters goes direct to the casting machine which differs from ordinary practice in that the mCulds are stationary while the ladlc and spoon move along the rows Of mOulds. It is claimed that this method prevents the formation of the undesirable fins" on the ngots Of matte
 The present casting arrangements are temporary and it is expected that they will be changed somewhat along such lines as experience may prove moro advantageous.
 The ingcts of bullion are trucked from the casting machine over weigh ing scales Co the bullion storage plat form and thence to the cars.
 Powdered Coal
 The United Verde Extension smelter is the first to adopt the use of pow dered coal in the reverberatOry fur naces and under the boilers Of the steam plant

ideal method of firing and that it makes available practically every heat unit which the fuel contains. Mechan- ical and other difficulties have attend ed former attempts at its use but it IS felt that the present installation over comes all Of these and the tests all ready made have demonstrated its per feet utility and effectiveness.
 The coal used is the bituminous pro- duct of the Gallup fields and, on its receipt at the works, it is unloaded into storage bins from which it is talk en by belt conveyors through a crush CT which reduces the fuel to One-inch size.
 From the crusher it moves by screw conveyors and elevators to the storage bins. thence feeding to a rotating dry CT which extracts the greater percent age of the contained moisture. From the dryer the coal is fed to a battery of Fuller ball mills where it is pow dered to a fineness that permits eighty five per cent to pass a 200 mesh screen while from ninety-five to ninety-eiSht her cent will pass through 100 mesh. To readers not familiar with measures of fineness, it may be said that this Is about the consistency of the best cem- ent
 As the name indicates, the mills are operated by means of heavy revolving steel balls which reduce the coal to the desired fineness. As the dust arises from the bottom of the mill it passes through a blower fan contained within the casing, which forces 1t against a screen, any particles too coarse falling to the bottom of the mill

 We do not usually think of the large mine operators as railroad operators, but when it is considered that almost half Of the railroad mileage and yalu- ation in Arizona is due to the mining interests. anG that primarily but one tenth is due to all other interests put together. the realization comes in thelr general development.

produce this year 100000 tons of
food stuff as against 100000 last
year. Official figures of the depart
ment of agriculture show that our
small grain, crop during the past
year was 25,000,000 bushels less
than the year previous, while the
Argentine and Australian crops
have been damaged by weevii to
the extent of l50,000,000 bushels.
The department is asking for a
wheat acreage of 6S,000000 for the
coming year. Not only is this true
of grain, but also of pork, dairy
and vegetable products. So you
can see why we are anxious that
every boy in the United States ap-
ply every minute of his spare time
in helping to produce the great food
supply so necessary to the entire

More Warehouses and
Additional Trackage is
Great Need in Omaha

Manager Gillian OF the industrial
bureau of the Chamber of Com
merce, is making a special effort
to interest owners of property in
the wholesale district in the con-
struction of buildings for ware
house and storage purposes where
there is railroad trackage. Mr.. Gil
len says that he now has number
of inquiries from eastern manufac
turers and jobbers asking for stor-
age facilities. one of the inquiries,
being for $4,000 feet floor space on
trackage. These inquiries come
from firms who wish to make Oma-
ha a jobbing and reshipping point.
The city engineer and city plan
ming board are also to go into the
matter of providing more trackage
wherever possible to lay additional
spurs from the main tracks.
There are several old buildings
now in the wholesale district in
which the Chamber of Commerce
are endeavoring to induce their
owners to put freight elevators and
otherwise put them in shape as stor-
age houses, in addition to the re-
quest for the construction of new
buildings. q.

Peters Trust Company
Opens Department for
Sale Steampship Tickets

The Peters Trust company, acting
as local representative of the large
steamship lines, has opened a new
department through which it will
sell steamship tickets to all parts
of the world, and also drafts on
foreign countries.
This important, change in the
method of handling local steamship
business has been brought about by
the government administration of
railroads. The different steamship
lines have heretofore been repre-
sented in Omaha by the different
railroads entering the city. When
the government took over the rail-
roads and consolidated the ticket
Offices, all the steamship lines were
notified that thereafter the railroads
would not handle the sale of steam
ship tickets. This business has been
turned over here to the Peters Trust
company by the steamship lines.
The Peters Trust company has
been appointed agent, and will sell
tickets for the following steamship
lines:
The Cunard line, also known as
the anchor line; Lamport-Holt
line; The New York and Cuba
Mail Steamship company, known as
the Ward line; The Holland-Amer-
lean line; The Swedish-American
line, and the Norwegian-American

CHURCHES WILL
make APPEAL TO
CONSERVE FOOD
Nebraska Food Administrator
Will Conduct Educational
Campaign on European
Situation.

An intensive appeal to save food
to feed the starving peoples of Eu-
rope will be inaugurated by the read
ing of Herbert Hoover's message in
the churches of the state today.
Gurdon w. Wattles, federal food
administrator for Nebraska, has sent
these appeals to every minister in
the state with the request that the
worlds food situation be impressed
upon the citizens of Nebraska.
lSupplementing this request, all
lodges and fraternal organizations
have been requested to give the
message to their members.
The week will be one of intensive
appeal. On Tuesday meetings will be
held throughout the state under the
direction of county food administra-
tors. On Wednesday, women's or
CARNATIONS have been asked to hold
special meetings, while Friday has
been set aside as School day. when
the teachers of the state are asked
to hold special exercises.
Must Feed Europe. r
I'VE must feed the people of Eu-
rope" says Mr.. Wattles. "We must
feed the allies, the neutrals and even
the enemies. Germany must make
amends for the wrongs she has COM
initted against civilization. and she
must pay. She must be assisted to
build Up stable government so she
can pay these debts, no matter how
long it takes. And her people must
be fed that they can meet the ex-
acting terms which the allies and the
United States will require.
"We must send 100000 tons of
food across the water before July
!, and we must save food.
Eat plenty, eat wisely, but use
economy. Do not waste anything,
and we can supply these demands
without sacrifices or hardships."
