FIND POTASH LAKES
500 ACRES OF RICH DEPOSITS DIS
COVERED IN BENNETT
COUNTY.

1t has developed that three lakes
recently discovered in Bennett coun.
ty, comprising between 400 and 500
acres. were analysed and found to
contain something like TN per cent
potash. William Bergin. on whose
land the discovery wal first made,
expects to reap the benefits of the
rich deposits and has leased several
hundred acres in the vicinity. II Is
said that upon analysis, both the
water Of the lakes and the soil In
the vicinity yieldsd evidences OF pot.
ash deposits in lavge quantities. The
matter OF development has been
taken up with Omaha capitalists, and
It Is reported that they are making
preparations TO commence at once the
development of an otherwise remote
and virgin field Of this valuable and
much sought war product. 1t is esti.
mated that the deposits in this vi.
entity are sufficient in a large meas
ure to supply the demands OF the
United States government In the
manufacture Of munitions OF war. Mr..
Bergin this week completed mineral
leases on many thousands Of acres
OF these rich lands. The richest pot
ash deposits heretofore discovered
are said to be so miles south Of the
Bennett county deposits. In Nebraska.
It Is reported that government Of
ncials have approved OF the TN per

sons.

IRISH WOMEN ORGANIZED.
For Anti-conscription Campaign as New
er Before.

Dublin. July 6.--(Correspondence Of
Associated Press Irish women were
organized for participation in the anti.
CONSUMPTION campaign in Ireland as new
er before in the history of political agi.
tation in Ireland.
Much is now heard of the Woman's
Pledge which was the leading feature
of the women's side of the anti-conscrip.
tion campaign The pledge reads as fol-
lows;
Because the enforcement of conscrip-
tion on any people without their consent
IL tyranny, we are resolved to resist the
CONSUMPTION of Irishmen. We viii not
fill the places Of men deprived of their
work through refusing enforced military
service. We will do all in our power
to help the families of men who suffer
through enforced military service"
The occasion chosen for the universal
signing of this pledge by the women of
Ireland was the festival of St. Column
BELLE, a national saint much talked
about at the present time on account OF
some war prophecies attributed to him,
including one in which he said to have
predicted CONSUMPTION.
The woman's pledge was part of a
scheme with which CONSUMPTION was re.
sisted. Wherever possible, the signing
was accompanied by floral demonstration
and organizations taking part carried
wreaths, crosses and other symbols to
decorate the place Of signing. The cere-
mony also was accompanied by pilgrim.

MEXICAN GIRLS SERVING.
Are Helping to Solve the Servant Girl
Problem in Texas.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 6.--Mexican girls
have solved the servant problem for
housewives in American border cities
such as FL Paso.
Mexican servants are both plentiful
and reasonable in their charges For SO
per week good nurse maid may be se.
cured from the Mexican quarter here.
-Four dollars provides maid of all work.
while S. and SO are the rates charged by
the Mexioans for cooking, laundry work
and living on the premises The wage
scale is not the problem with this class
of household servants and the Mexican
is practically the only available servant
on the border, the negroes and Chinese
being few and always retained in the
same homes from year to year.
The Mexican servant girl, within her
limitations, is a hard working faithful
and fairly efficient worker. Even the
poorest peon girls who know nothing of
gas stoves, running water or electric APP
planes, develop into satisfactory ser.
wants if patience and perseverance is
shown. They work hard, rarely com.
plain, and accept their place in the home
without protest. They are especially
desirable nurse maids. They like chill
dren, having had experience with chill
dren in their own families and are gen,
tie with little ones.

GIRLS BUYING BOOKS.
BY Working in Munition Factories They
Have Money Enough.

London, July 6.--The old.time book
buyer has almost disappeared in London.
His place has been taken by the new
patrons of literature-the munition girls
and the young women employed In gov
eminent departments and who are earn
ing more money than they had ever
dreamed of receiving in wages in their
younger days.
THE girls from the munitions plants
and other branches of the government
service buy books in quantities that
would surprise people who do not know
them" said London book seller recent
w. They have taken the place of the
old timer Of whom we all were so fond.
Quite number Of girls come to my
place and buy FIVE or six shilling nov
el every week. As for the cheaper edi.
tions Of popular novels, our difficulty Is
not to sell them, but to obtain sufficient
stocks to supply the trade"

DIR. Richard Cabot, the famous BIOS.
ton physician, says in the July American
Magazine
81 recently heard a loose talker as
sert that things were as bad in the medi-
cal corps now as they were in 1898. That
is an absolutely false statement. Though
not then a member of the medical corps,
| witnessed It's work in Porto Rico dur
ing the war of 1898, and | know that the
medical corps of the present American
army is vastly superior to that of 1898,
both in the caliber and capacity of the
physicians and surgeons employed and
in the methods and equipment used by
these men.
Whereas, in 1898, it was unusual
to meet in the army medical corps a
medical man of national reputation for
skill or scientific acumen, one now finds
the physicians of highest standing from
the different parts of our country at
work either in France or in America for
the health of our troops"

JOAN OF ARC MEMORIAL
Is Receiving Hearty Support from Ana
tole France.

Paris, July correspondence of The
Associated Press Nobody has given
heartier welcome to the proposed founda-
ton of Joan of Are museum than Ana
tole France, the great French writer, who
has himself written the history Of the
heroine Of France. He has further sug-
gested building in Paris as suitable for
conversion into this museum, the medi-
eval Hotel de Sens, which will be re-
membered by all visitors to Paris. He
offers to present to the museum two
stone cannon balls dating from. the siege
Of Paris in 1920 and fine Gobelin tap
estry showing the royal conservation at
Rheims.
Another writer, who is also a deputy,
Maurice Barres, is an equally enthusiast
tic supporter of the scheme. He is will
ing to introduce the necessary bill in
the chamber at once. Barres proposed to
institute a national Joan OF Arc day,
but a minister begged him not to do so
for fear of offending the English.
"As if the memory of the maid of Or
leans is not venerated in England" he
writes. Gas If English historians have
not been the keenest to rehablitate her
memoryl | have just been visiting Lor-
raine, where the Americans are at the
front. Do you know what struck me
mostf 1t was the cult, the veneration
that these soldiers who have come from
the other end of the world to pay the
debt contracted in the time of Rocham-
beau and Lafayette, show for everything
connected with Joan of Arc. Nothing is
more touching than to see their pilgrim
ages-I use the religious term designed
ly--to Domremy to the house where the
maid was born"
The humble house at Domremy would
seem an ideal place for the museum, as
it has preserved its primitive character
almost entirely. 1t belonged in 1915 to
a modest farmer named Gerardin, who
sold 1t for $500 to the department coun-
ell of the Vosges.
