NEW DISCOVERY
 TO BE USED BY BALLOON COMPANIES

An invention of an Omahan, Dr. Herman ReinEold, has been adopted by the army that will enable gas for balloons to be generated as they fly and as they need it.
 Gas now is supplied at Fort Omaha by electrolysis of water. Tanks are filled with gas under pressure and transported in trucks to replenish the supply after some gas has been let out to permit a balloon to descend.
 The Omaha invention is a process for making certain salt of lithium that can be carried with the balloon When fresh supply of gas is needed liquid is dropped on this salt The balloon process generates hydrogen. One pound of the salt makes 1S0 cubic feet of gas. Equipment is being in- stalled to produce the salt in the New Jersey plant.
 Lithium is derived from spodumen, and other ores in the Keystone dis tr:ct, of the Black Hills, where Dr. Reinbold has controlled supplies of ores for years. Shipments of these ores to New Jersey for refining were held up in November for coal and food priority, but have been resumed this month, it is reported from the Hills, and twelve cars sent to New

The Council held regular meeting last evening with Mayor Wakefield in the chair and all the members pres ent.
 The principal business of the even- ing after the routine work had been attended to such as the acceptance of the reports of various committees and the allowance of bills, were the in- structions given to the City Clerk to commence proceedings in mandamus against Wm. G. Strong, school board treasurer to compel him to deposit territorial monies in the city treas ury to the credit of the city school fund.
 The clerk was also instructed to prepare an ordinance providing for the inspection of milk distributed over the city.

 The natural expectation was that we would print our paper in the oppo- sit:on's shop, but the morning rolled around with no offer of assistance ! It was the opposition's chance to scut- tie our shop. Our composing room foreman alleged we could print a poster on the proof press And We did. We issued poster containing tie news of the day and the one legal ad running at the time
 The night following the fire we had had four galvanized iron galleys made and after the first day the proof press issues were eight pages" four four column sheets printed on both sides By the end of the week we had un- earthad an antiquated flat-bad press on which the first paper issued at Seward was printed.

WIN THE WAR WITH POTATOES

The Department of Agriculture au- thorizes the following:
 The enemy is out-eating us in po- tatoes; out-potatoing us. Here are the figures-per capita weekly con- sumption:
 United States 2.3 Quarts.
 Austria ia-Hungary s Quarts.
 Germany 16 Quarts.
 We can beat them at their own food-which really isn't theirs; it's native American crop. We must eat more potatoes, and that right soon. or much of our record crop of last year will be wasted. Potatoes are plenti- ful and getting cheaper. Eat them in stead of bread. Fight the enemy with potatoes.
