from this country into Germany through
the neutral countries of Europe. Gun
exports to Sweden in the calendar wear
of 1917, for example, were S2l ,00O, 900
whereas they were more than $50 1000 .00O
in 1915. Our imports from that country
were virtually the same in the two
years, about $lS,000,000. Our exports to
Denmark dropped from 100000 in
1916 to $32 100000 in 1917.
There was the same story in our trade
with the Netherlands, even though we
have been sending much food for desti-
tute Belgium through that country. Nor
way, which gave less cause for cnrtail-
ment than its neighbors, imported al
most as much from us last year as the
year before. Since the restrictions did
not 60 into effect until 1917 was well
along, it will be seen that there was in
the aggregate a big cut in goods shipped
to the neutral countries and consequent
ly big cut in what Germany had been
receiving through that channel. 1t was
rough in some cases on the countries
themselves, but they had no good ground
for complaint.
There is ample ground for suspicion
that the leaks are not wholly closed.
The northern neutrals are pretty well
shut off from helping Germany to fight
US with our own supplies, but Spain de-
mands closer attention. The exports to

received by Philip S. Smith of the United
States geological survey, department o

manufacturers reported their production
and that of the Others was estimated
from previous records. 1t is believed
that the totals of these preliminary fig
ures will approximate very closely the
final figures which will be made up when
the complete returns are received, al.
though the quantity of acids of different
strengths as stated may require consid-
cradle readjustment.

Five young men left this morning for
Burlington where they enter the signal

were sent away without ceremony and
in view of the fact that they are going
but short distance and to attend col

went the longer distances. Those going
were Charles DEF. Bancroft, jr., Maurice

In comparing the production reported
for 1917 with that of 1916, only acids of
similar strength should be compared. For
instance, the amount of acid of 66 per
cent b. reported for 1917, namely $4,000
tons, is equivalent to 100000 tons of so
per cent acid. In other words, the sum
of the amounts of the different acids as
given above for 1916 and 1917 should not
be compared to show the output in the
two years, for the great increase in the
output of the stronger acids would rep
resent a much larger increase in that of
the weaker acids.
The condition of the market for sui
phuric acid in 1917 is reported to have
been on the whole even better than in
1916, and the value of the product was
considerably higher than it was during
that year of high prices Some com
panies have had difficulty in obtaining
sufficient sulphur ore and many of them
have been compelled to change from py
rite to sulphur burners. Experiments in
the greater utilization of pyrrhotite
have been carried on and attempts have
been made to find domestic deposits of
pyrite that can be used if the supplies
of foreign ore are curtailed under the
conditions imposed by the war.
The estimates given above are based

SULPHURIc ACID RECORD.
More Produced in United States in 1917
Than in ANY Year.

More sulphurie acid was produced in
the United States in 1917 than in any
previous year. A moderate estimate
shows that the increase in the produc-
ton of acid of all strengths in 1917 over
that in 1916, stated in terms OF 60 per
cent B. acid, amounted to at least 600,.
900 tons.
1t is not yet possible to state accurate
ly the production of sulphuric acid in
l0l7 according to strengths, for some of
the companies that produce so, 80 and
66 per cent acid have reported their en-
tire production together and so stated it
as if they had made only 100 per cent
acid Now. 100 per cent sulphuric acid
is above SO per cent B. and is here re-
ported as stronger acid" but in view of
the fact stated, certain quantity of the
stronger acid reported should really be
carried as acid having strength of 66
per cent B. or less. However, as no data
are available to show the proper dis
tribution of all the acid made in 1917,
the following table has been prepared as
if the reported production were the ac-
tual production:

Remarkable Record

A remarkable church record was
completed some time ago when Joe
Read resigned as church clerk of
Bethlemhem Baptist church His
father, S. ]. Read, Sr., was elected
clerk of this famous old organization
in 1916, being the same day that FL
der NJ. F. Ham was elected pastor of
the same body. s. j. Read, Sr., served
until 1879, when he resigned, having
served thirty-four years. He was sue
ceeded by his nephew, E. H. Read,
who served to 1904, when he resigned,
having served a quarter of century.
He was succeeded by ]. A. Read. who
has just resigned, having served thir-
teen years, making seventy-five years
of service by the three.
Elder Ham served as pastor for this
church continuously from his first
call in 1S45 until 1888, when he re-
signed, making forty-three years of
continuous service, which is perhaps
the longest term of patoration in the
annals of church history in Kentucky

bodies, this question having been ag-
gitated and debated all through the
past year. AS these are the two lar
gest Presbyterion bodies of the nation,
having a combined membership of
something over 100000 their union
would result in the formationof q
great national Presbyterian Church.
Both assemblies last year, in re-
Spouse to overtures from the lower
courts, appointed committees to con-
fer with each other on the question
and to report to the Respective bodies
lat the meeting to begin this week,
the Northern Church meeting at Co
lumbus, o., and the Southern Church
at Vibrant, Okla, on the same dates
These committees have held several
meetings during the year, but so far
have failed to arrive at plan of union
that is acceptable to both denomina-
lions. 1t is expected, however. that
the assemblies will take some action
carrying the matter still further.
Two plans respecting union will
be placed before the assemblies. The
first, which is advocated by the COM
mittee of the Northern Church, looks
to the organic union of the Northern
and Southern churches, and the ulti-
mate union of the thirteen Presbyter-
ian and Reformed denominations of
America into one church, nationwide
in its scope apd sphere of activity.
The second plan, advocated by the
committee of the Southern Church,
looks to the closer relation of all
these bodies by a representative body
composed of delegates from each de-
nomination, which would he in effect
a clear-house of Presbytcrionism in
America, but would leave the auto
nomy of the several denominations on
| the present basis.
| Many of the leaders of both de-
nominations predict that even If a
definite plan is not hit upon at the
meetings beginning this week, unity
of interests and practical unity in
creed and behlief and church govern.
ment will result in some satisfactory
plan of union within the next two oil
three years. The effect of the grea
war in which we are now engaged
they say, has been to minimize thu
differences and the emphasizes thu

ligious bodies that are PRACTICAL!

and will do her part in furnishing

Truly the wheat crop of this sec

of acreage, but it all counts when
taken in the aggregate along with
the greater acreage in this great land

of Ballard will never give up raising
tobacco Well, that may be so, but
they are making a start toward II this
year. We understand that more than
1000 acres of tomatoes have already
been signed up for the Polk Canning
Company. which agrees to pay SO and
81 cents rer bushel for tomatoes as
soon as gathered. If the crop is a
success this year, you are going to sec
much less tobacco raised next year
than this, and the crop this year will
be curtailed more than 1000 acres,
SO we are told by farmers of this
county.-La Center Advance.
