Potash From Cement Dust.

Extraction of potash from dust Is
claimed as a possibility. James D.
Rhodes, a Pittsburgh manufacturer.
claims to have made the discovery,
and at his own expense has arranged
to erect large experimental plant adj
joining the plant of cement company
at Castalia, O., for the purpose Of ex-
perimenting for 12O days.
The Castalia plant is In the hands Of
a receiver and it was necessary to
get permission Of the United States
district court before Mr.. Rhodes could
enter into any agreement with the re-
ceiver. This was granted.
Mr.. Rhodes said he could extract
large quantities Of potash for fertilizer
from the dust and waste Of cement
mills that will be Of great benefit to
the country in increasing the supply.
It is understood that the United
States government is watching the ex-
pertinent with interest.

ROUNDUP EARNINGS TO
GO TO THE RED CROSS
Entire Net Proceeds of PendIeton'a
Big Show to be Used for
War Work

Pendleton will stage her ninth an
nual Roundup next month for the
benefit of the Red Cross. The direc.
tors of the big frontier show offered
to contribute the entire net proceeds
to the Red Cross and the offer was ac-
cepted by the organizations repre-
sentatives yesterday.
The ninth Of Pendleton's famous
epic dramas of the. west will be held
on September 10, 20 and 81 and, de-
spite the fact that some of the famous
cowboys and buckaroos have answered
the call of their country and are now
bulldogging the Hun somewhere in
France, there will be competition
aplenty for the prizes and trophies.
The usual program of wild west sports
will be presented, but there will be adj
ded touches of the military and patrio-
tic in keeping with the spirit of war
time.
No person has ever received sal
airy or dividend from the Roundup.
but heretofore the profits of the show
have been devoted to civic improve
ments in Pendleton. In these times,
however, the directors decided that
such improvements should give way to
enterprises, and made their offer ac-
cordingly.

Bose Leisure Reported.

On several occasions, says Popular
Science Monthly, when an executives
assistant desired to converse with his
superior the former was busy on the
telephone, so he had to wait.
To open the door every few minutes
for the purpose Of looking in or to
have the operator notify you when the
receiver has been hung up is both an
noying and time consuming. A private
concern has installed an inexpensive
device which eliminates the embar-
rassment.
The executives telephone has an ex-
ira connection which automatically
lights small blue light at the assist
ants Office when the former is using
his phone. AS soon as the executive
hangs up the receiver the light goes
out and the assistant knows that his
superior is accessible.
This device, which is very inexpen-
sive, consists of two pieces connected
with wires which run through the cord
to the assistants Office.

DOGS on the Battlefield.

Experiments made In the training
Of dogs as messengers with the ar
mics in the field have, it is stated,
given satisfactory results. The dogs
which have proved most receptive
under instruction are chiefly half
bred collies and retrievers. A rather
poor breed of bob-tailed sheep dogs
has also done well. All have been
trained to perform their errands
during heavy firing, both rifles and
guns. They can be fired over as
easily as the ordinary sporting dog,
and, what is quite another thing. they
will face fire at close range. Many
have shown amazing skill in getting
over, under and through all sorts OF
obstacles, including wire.

Washington, Aug. Newspaper
work has never been included among
the nonessential occupations outlined
in the "work or fight" order, nor has
it been the intention of the provost
marshal generals department that
men legitimately employed in pub
fishing newspapers should be requir-
ed to seek other occupations. Officers
connected with the administration of
the draft regulations express surprise
at the ruling of the board at Water
loo, Iowa, that employees of a paper
there should seek more productive en-
ployment or be called into the mill
tary service. They said the action of
the board probably would be over
turned by the district board to which
it will be appealed.

Tea Dealers Troubles.

Tea dealers claim that since the be.
ginning Of the war their profits
have dwindled considerably. Since
1914 ocean freights have increased
more than 600 per cent; and in adj
dition to the increase In freight rates
there is a high rate Of war insurance
quite apart from marine insurance.
The cost OF tea at the gardens In Cey-
lon and India has also increased, prin-
cipally because the British govern
ment takes large part Of the output.
A Canadian tea dealer said lately that
tea consumers In Canada were better
served in quality for price than any
other country in the world.

MAKES LIVING PEDDLING TIME
Somewhat Peculiar Occupation Of
English Girl Is Said to Bring
Her Fair Income.

Probably no other hill in the world
has had so strangely varied a history
or played so important a part in the
affairs Of men as that at Greenwich,
in England. The granite line across
the footpath on its summit is the
meridian from which the longitude on
every British map and chart is calcu-
lated. All England sets its time by
the mean solar clock. There is large
electromagnetic clock fixed on the
outside wall Of the observatory and
divided into "a hours. There are many
who believe that this clock is kept
going by the sun. They do not know
that the fixed stars are the real time
keepers from which Britons check their
daily progress.
To this electromagnetic clock In
the wall comes every Monday wom-
an, Miss Belleville of Maindenhead,
who makes $500 a year out Of the
queerest occupation in the world. She
sells the time to London watchmakers.
Many years ago the then astronomer
royal suggested to her father that It
he took the corrected time Of cert-
fed chronometer every week he could
no doubt find numerous clients. So
Mr.. Belleville bought watch made
for the duke of Essex and then worked
up business with it. When he died
his widow sold the time until she
reached the age of eighty-one, and
then she handed over the business to
her daughter. When Miss Belleville
visits Greenwich at the beginning OF
every week her chronometer is cor
rected and she is given an official GER
tificate. From that her SO customers
correct their watches and clocks.

LITTLE CAST ASIDE
How Military Stores on Mexican
Border Are Sa|vaged.
Nothing That 1t Is Possible to Repair;
or In Any Way Make Useful, Is
Ever Thrown Away as
Worthless.

The most extensive dealer in junk
on the Mexican border wears an olive
drab uniform, two bars on his shout
ders and serious look, for business is
always rushing with Capt. Fred Fe-
lix, Uncle Sans junk man in the cav
airy division here, writes the Fort
Bliss (Tex.) correspondent of the New
York Sun.
As head of the salvage and reclama-
ton department Of the general quar-
termaster depot here, Captain Felix
and his force of enlisted men are re-
pairing and salvasing supplies which
have been discarded by the United
States army in the border district.
Three warehouses, a part of the fort
machine shops, and Zig yard down
town, are used for this work.
Tents which have been torn by the
winds are repaired by men who have
been sailors or who have experience
in repairing canvas. Canvas cot COW
ers which have been torn are cut up
into small pieces and made into cloth
ing bags. These cot covers were for
merly discarded. A tailor shop has
been established where worn and torn
uniforms are repaired, buttons sewn
on, the uniforms steam cleaned and
pressed and returned to the owners.
Army shoes which have been worn
by many marches over the desert
sands near the fort are half-soled by
machinery ripped places stitched, new
laces inserted and the shoes sent back
for further, wear Not scrap Of
leather is permitted to be wasted by
the reclamation and salvage depart
ment. Shoes too badly worn to be
repaired, and cavalry boots, are rip
ped to pieces and the leather used for
repairing other boots and shoes. The
scraps are then sent to market for use
In the manufacture Of composition
betting.
i Recently 10 meat grinders for pre-
pairing meat. for cooking were con-
demned and sent to the reclamation
department to be sold for junk. In
stead. the parts were separated, reas-
sembled and Eve good grinders obtain
ed, while the remaining parts were
stored for repairing other grinders.
Broken parts were sold for junk.
Wagons, automobiles, tank wagons,
soup kitchens and every other kind OF
field equipment is received by this de-
partment. Wagonmakers replace worn
parts Of transport and ammunition
wagons with new ones. All automO-
bile parts are classified and crew Of
garage men repair the cars as they
come to the shops. Even tracks for
caterpillar trucks are kept for repair
ing those big trucks which haul sup
plies over the desert.
Broken spurs, ragged guidons and
flags, eyelets from wornout puttees,
harness, saddles, the ropes and even
"bull whips" used by the army mule
drivers are salyaged in Uncle Sans
big junk shop here, and the govern
ment is saved thousands of dollars by
repairing army property which other.
wise would have to be replaced with
new.

MOORES ANNOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY
Will Seek Reelection as Legis-
lative Representative from
this County

Representative Gordon c. Moores
today filed his declaration of candi-
dacy with the county auditor and will
again seek the republican nomination
for the office. In announcing his can
didacy Mr.. Moores has. issued the fol-
lowing open letter to the voters of the
county:
I deeply appreciate the honor of
representing the people of Benton
county in the legislature, and am ask
ing for reelection with the hope that
my acquaintance at Olympia and fa-
miliarity with procedure there will be
of value to my constituents. there
fore consider it a duty to file for re-
election.
There are other things to be done,
however, in times like this, and / feel
that it is absolutely my duty during
this campaign to remain on the ranch
and save your time and mine by not
indulging in a house-to-house cam
paign.
My opponent in the primary is Lee
Roy L. Todd. I am unable to learn
wherein he is attacking my record,
nor do I know his platform. am in
formed, however, that Mr.. Todd has
joined and has the support of the non
Partisan League.
If elected, I shall support measures
that will help to win the war.
I shall stand for strict economy in
state affairs.
shall vote to ratify national pro-
hibition and woman's suffrage.
shall attempt to recover more of
the public highway money that is due
this county.
shall work for, and insist upon
substantial support for our expert
ment station.
In general, ! shall try to represent
the entire county, the prosperity of
which depends upon the welfare of the
farmer.
abhor /. w. W.-ism and non Par
tisan Leaguc-ism, and believe that the
leaders of such organizations who are
encouraging domestic strife and hamp-
>ering the government in the prosecu-
ton of the war, should be severely
dealt with.
I shall gladly meet Mr.. Todd for.
public discussion before the oranges
and other organizations in this. county
where will not evade any issue.
consider it the duty Of candidate
to meet the public, but also consider
1t my duty not to poster the public
with a personal campaign.
believe this county will receive.
consideration at Olympia, should I be
reelected. am sure this county will
be punished by the legislature If it
elects non-Partisan Lacquer during
this war.

A report just issued by the extern

shows that Benton county is third in
the state in the number of boys en-
listed in the pig club work. The two
counties which lead Benton are Spo-
kane and Yakima.
One of the popular phases of the
boys and girls CLUB work for Wash
ington this year is the pig club work,
says the report. This is proving one
of the most useful classes organized
in the state.
The membership ip these clubs has
increased from SO in 1917 to total of
l127 in 1918. 1t is also interesting to
SNOW that these clubs are organized

EARLE ORR IS NOW FREE MAN.:
 MITCHAM HERE

Washington, D. C., Oct. 1, 1918 Erwin, U. S. Marshal. Fairbanks.
 The President has committed sentence of Earle Orr to expire at once. You may release him at once. Answer. GREGORY"
 The above telegram was received from the attorney-general last even ing and proclaimed the freedom of Earle Orr. a prisoner in the federal jail, who was sentenced last spring under the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses.
 Since his incarceration Orr has been a model prisoner. being con. sidered a trusty in every sense u. the word and as result of his will ingness to do the tasks allotted him received many privileges. During his term in the federal institution he made many friends among the citi zens with whom he came in contact all of whom express their best wishes for the young mans flu ture. His full citizenship rights have been restored. Immediately after his discharge from custody he made ap plication to the local board to en ter service and the matter was talk en up at once. It is probable that he will leave on the next boat fol the states to enter service.
 As a direct contrast between good and bad behavior was the return of Ike Mitcham. who escaped last June Mitcham still has five months to serve on his sentence. He was brought to town in irons last even ing and on his arrival at the federal Jail was put in the cell general. occupied by the insane. which ht will occupy for the balance of his term in solitary confinement.
