OLD PROSECUTORS
BACK ON old JOB

Under the heading Getting the
Fever the Carson City Appeal says:
Several Carsonites have taken on the
mining fever and will go out hustling
over ground that has been known to
give up values. Over in the Jumbo
region they are waiting for the snow
to leave, while west of Carson, in the
old Voltaire. considerable activity is
being shown. The Pine Nut region.
which has produced some very rich
gold ore, is to be given another over
hauling. The boom out south and the
demand for mines has started the
prospectors out in the spring rush.
There is always the chance of some
thing good being uncovered, and one
good mining proposition would help
this section at the present time. Sill
yer City, it is stated, is taking on new
life. as several of the oil properties
are to be started up this spring.

GET SALT FROM SEA WATEn
Old Method Of Obtaining Necessary Of
Life Is Still Practiced in
Various Places.

The use of salt for seasoning and
preserving foods Is so ancient that
the earliest written records refer to
1t, says a writer In Popular Science
Monthly. For many centuries .prac-
ically all the salt used by the human
race was procured by the evaporation
of sea water.
This method of obtaining salt Is
still employed In many localities where
the conditions are favorable. A fiat
stretch of sea coast and a hot and
dry climate are necessary IL salt is
to be got from sea water. An ideal
locality for this industry is the coast
on the Bay of Cadis, Spain.
The sea water is allowed to collect
In shallow basins, barely above high
water mark. AS the water evaporates
the various salts contained In the sea
water crystalline out and form a crust.
which Is removed and shoveled in
small heaps. There the salts undergo
the first stage Of publication.
The edible salt is drained from the
other salts, which constitute the great
er part of the impurities. The edible
salt crystallizes out first. while the
other salts retain the water and form
a concentrated brine which is allowed
to run into bitches dug for that pur-
pose.
The partly purified salt is then gath
cred into large heaps. Occasional
rains wash out the more easily soluble
impurities. and the hot sun dries the
salt on the surface of the pile. Al
though 1t still contains about Is per
cen of impurities 1t is shipped in
large quantities without further refin-
ing.

FLED FROM ARM0RED CARS
Bedouins in Wild Confusion When
the British Forces Made Use
Of Tanks" in Desert.

The appearance of armored cars In
the desert struck terror in Senussi
hearts, and the whole country was soon
covered with men and camels trek
king off to the southwest. On getting
through the camp the cars went on in
dependently, shooting all loaded camels
and men within reach. Two of these
camels carried mixed loads Of petrol
and high explosive shell. The per-
forated petrol cam caught fire, and the
shells exploded, which made the camp
followers fall on their knees, beat the
ground with their foreheads, and call
on Allah's aid.
"The Turkish gunners stuck to their
guns like good men. When we passed
them without killing them they turned
round and continued firing at us, so
that we had to go back and finish
them," one of the officers told me. The
cars collected three mountain guns and
nine machine guns with a quarter mill
lion rounds of small-arm ammunition
and several boxes of shell. Two of
the cars stood by all night to protect
the captures, and the remainder re-
traced their tracks to Sollum, to find
our infantry in occupation. The Sc
nussi did not venture on AZiza again

TOO MUCH LIKE KAISER BILL
Ex-Sherif Of New York Town Has
Made Il Plain That "Potsdam
Points, Don't Go.

Ex-Sheriff James Merritt, whose
should, has established a mustache
censorship and outlawed the Potsdam
points, according to a Port Chester cor
respondent of the New York Tribune.
Until a few days ago scarcely an
hour went by that the a~rgus-eyed for
mer sheriff p~atrolling the streets did
not find at least M sky-pointing mus
tache Of the kind made notorious by
Wild Bill Hohenzollern. The tactics
of the former sheriff upon spotting
such q one were as tactful and as I'M
varying as those of a collecting agency.
Placing himself in front of the wear
er. he would fix a pale and unappreci-
alive eye upon the offending mustache
and stare and stare. Either the staree
wilted or became curious or belliger-
ent. Former Sheriff Merritt IA ready
for either result.
At the first evidence of embarrass-
ment he would nod mutely toward the
nearest barber shop, follow his victim
until he entered and remained on post
outside until he emerged without his
mustache. II the mustached one in
quired civilly what was wrong, the
former sheriff would start as If awak-
ened from a daze and explain that he
thought he was confronting his old
friend, Pewter Cup BILL" the yachts
man. If the recipient of his stare
wanted to know what was biting the
former sheriff, Merritt vent just as far
with the inquisitive n as was neces
sary to persuade him into q neat Goa
of lather.

OH LORD! lit US ALL!

Former Secretary of the Treasury
William G.. McAdoo is telling this
story to get buyers for the Victory
Liberty Loan:
"A pastor in a New Jersey vii
lage." he said, devoted a half hour
n prayer meeting night to a loan
appeal. His appeal was forcible. 1t
even touched the rich old deacon,
who hadn't subscribed to the loan
hitherto on the ground that he could
get a better rate of interest else
where.
"I1l take $50, announced the
deacon solemnly from his pew.
Then. as he sat down, a piece of
plaster fell from the ceiling. strik-
ing him a pretty hard blow on the
head. He rose again hurriedly. He
had a scared. awed look.
81 mean $500. he said.
Then Brother Jimmy Conner
shouted Justify from the amen cor
ner:
"'Oh. Lord. hit him again!'"

LIBERTY FUEL IS 0. K.
Tried in Extensive Tests and
Proves Success.
Used In Everything From Trucks and
Tractors to A~irpIanes, Say
Inventors.

Washington.-'Liberty fuel" the
substitute for gasoline developed by
Maj. Oliver b. Zimmerman and Capt.
Il. G. Weisgarber of the gas and oil
production division of the war depart
ment. has proved Its practicability in
extensive tests In automobiles, motor
cycles, motortrucks, tractors, station
airy engines and airplanes.
"The net results" said Major Zim-
norman. Showed that although
checked against every commercial
grade of gasoline In the highest types
of gasoline engines, refined % the lin
II of engineering knowledge and with
no change in the carbureter, 1t never
theless develops a greater thermal eff
ficiency than the best gasoline"
The new fuel can be produced In
varying grades to meet the require
ments of the several types of gasoline
motors. Unlike gasoline. which is
largely all of one grade, the new fuel
can be manufactured specially for
motorcycles. trucks. tractors, airplane
engines or any other type of gas en-
CINE.
ut will be possible In the future for
q person to drive up to a filling sta
ton and secure exactly the grade Of
fuel required for his particular ma
chine. This will result In more salts
factory service from every gasoline
machine in the market and give the
motor owner a maximum of efficiency
for a minimum of outlay"
Other government experts who have
witnessed tests of the new fuel are
highly enthusiastic regarding its fu-
ture possibilities.
For obvious reasons Major thinner
man and Captain Wcisgarber are not
disposed to make public the formula
for Liberty fuel" Its base Is kero-
sene and some of the other materials
used are said to be a drug on the
market at present.
Major Zimmerman states that mo-
tors using this fuel start more easily
than with ordinary gasoline, that the
fuel explodes at temperatures even
below zero, the mileage per gallon
is greater and 1t Is safe against prema-
ture explosions.

ment among traders in New York. The
bear crowd is circulating propaganda
appealing to the South not to make
such q mistake and cut the acreage as
big demand will prevail for cotton in
1920, and that the South is amply able
to grow the staple under present con-
ditions and hold it until the foreign
markets are open. But such appeals
are falling on deaf ears. The South
has this bear crowd up tree and the
only way for it to get down is to pay
dear price for the unwarranted raids
on the market, which have sent the
price far below the cost of produc-
tion.
The continued stubbornness of spot
holders also is having effect. Spot
merchants report brisk inquiry for cot
ton, but claim there practically is
nothing for sale, except inferior
grades. Memphis Friday sold cotton
to Liverpool at the highest basis of
the season. Several trades were made
here at extremely high premiums
about zoe points on May. The same
applies in every section of the belt.
Foreigners are said to be quietly buy
ing all offerings, while our domestic
mill men are using their surplus. This
was proven beyond a shadow Of doubt
in this weeks Hester's statement.
showing mill takings of cotton only
900 bales, or 100000 less than the
same week in 1918. And such will be
confirmed by the next census report
on consumption.
This talk about mills closing down
is seven-eighths camoufiabe Depleted
mill stocks must sooner or later be re-
plenished and when they do begin buy
ing, holders of the actual should sit
steady IN the boat and demand salts
factory price-a nice profit above the
cost of production, which conservative
ly is placed at 80 cents a pound
some say 80 cents,
Exports for the week again were
heavy, amounting to 1O2,213 bales, as
compared with 96o35 bales the same
week year ago. This brought the to-
tai so far for the season up to 3031,
049, against 3,021,1 the previous cor
responding period. Exports Friday
were more than $1,000 bales, New Or
leans clearing 1929 to Great Britain
and 1924 to Japan
Despite President Wilson's declara-
ton that he would not lift the embargo
on cotton-because of Frances con-
dition-many are inclined to look with
considerable favor upon his
attitude, stating that if the embargo
remains in force until after planting
time, it will mean even more to the
South than if he raised it tomorrow
Americus times-recorder., 1919-03-02

because the removal of the ban woult
mean immediate world wide buying O
cotton, which would excite farmers 81
much they would abandon the acreage
reduction idea and overplant, thus
glutting the market with cotton an(
pulling prices down again.
If the Sotuh will do just these few
simple things, it can sell it's cotton a
a fair, profitable price:
First-Cut the acreage 33 1-3
per cent, regardless of any mans
advice to the contrary.
Second.-Use less fertilizer.
Third-Diversify to the limit.
Fourth-Absolutely refuse to
sell cotton on hand, except under
dire necessity.
Fifth.-Don't be trapped into
planting more cotton if the price
suddenly rises to 30 or 35 cents
a pound
Sixth.--Help convince every.
farmer you meet that he must cut
his acreage and hold his cotton.

COTTON MILLS
NOW USING OFF
THEIR SURPLUS
BY Victor Barron.
(Market Correspondent of The Times
Recorder)

100000
Recorder)
ATLANTA March After ruling
dull and featureless with fluctuations
extremely narrow, the cotton market
suffered material setback late in
the week-Friday- the result of
PESTTfsid.. Wilson's statement regard
the Am nhargo, in which he said he
e def any legislation that would
a. r -.le removal of the embargo be-
~-dre the signing of peace. Until his
statement was issued the feeling even
among the bears, had turned bullish
ana the market bore an appearance of
getting ready for an old-fashioned bull
movement.
Pressure became quite pronounced
and demand tapered off, with the re-
suit that values broke about 100 points
for the day, with March and other
nearby deliveries showing the greatest
decline.
Final prices on the New York ex-
change Friday were So to 10 points
lower than the previous weeks close,
while the list at New Orleans display
ed a loss Of 50 to 125 points-$3.45 to
$G.25 a bale.
Al the low March stood at % cents,
or 200 points below last weeks high,
although October's decline from the
recent high was 1872 points. Most of
the weakness I'm the March position
was the posting Of notices and liqui-
dation prior to notice day, Other near
options were sold and new crop
months were purchased owing to pres
ent attractive prices compared with
, the actaul stuff
The notices amounted to several
thousand bales and were generally be-
lieved to have been issued by houses
with Japanese connections. Southern
exporters were reported to have taken
up part of the cotton. Leading New
York spot firms also were credited
with taking some of the tenders. The
amount of notices issued so far are
very trifiing, considering the loud talk
Of bears before notice day, and the
ready absorption was to be expected,
owing to the fact that it meant real,
cheap cotton-at least cents a pound
cheaper than it could have been
bought for in the South.
There was a brisk demand until
Friday from trade houses and Liver
rool, with less pressure to sell The
outh-New Orleans-hedged and

Street account.
