 weather at the Palace theater. The program scheduled for the last three days of this week looks to be another rousing one particularly fitted for the summer nights. The feature picture is a new Frohman production. Once to Every Man. starring Jack Sherrill. The picture is said to be another Spoilers" only stronger.

CHIEF TAHAN's STORY FOR K1DDIEs IHUNDERBlRDS EYES MADE THE FIRST
 FIRE HOW MAN CAME BE FRIEND OF FIRE
BY CHIEF ITALIAN Of the kiowa Indian Tribe.

Now, do you remember the story I told you about the Thunderbird and now he makes the thunder storms Tshen he fights with the Rattlesnake ? Well, one time he had the most ter rlhle fight with him. It was awful,
 Ihunderbird got so mad in that nght that he opened and shut his eyes faster than ever before.
 That made so much fire blaze out of them that it came clear down to the earth.
 Some of it went into a hollow tree at the top, and ran clear down to the roots of 1t. and stayed there.
 That was the first fire that was ever made.
 After awhile the Buzzard saw the black fire breath coming out of the tree top and he told all of the animal people about the strange sight.
 Then all of the animal people held Q council and talked a long time: for they wanted to find out what the thing was and what it was good for. At last they sent the Buzzard back to see about it. He few right over to where 1t was and lit on the ground at the root of the tree,
 He saw something through a hole in the tree and he poked his head through the hole to get a good look at it, but he didn't let his head stay in there very long.
 Then he flew back to the council and told the animal people that he thought the thing wasn't good for anything.
 Pretty soon they all noticed that the Ere had burnt all of the feathers off of his head,
 That is the reason that the Bug zard's head is bare.
 Then they sent the Owl to fetch the news about the thing with the black breath that took feathers off
 When he got back he could hardly see; his eyes were red and there were rings around them.
 The wind had blown the ashes into his face and eyes, had made the white rings which he can never rub off. and his eyes arc rcd yet.

All of this made the animal people believe that fire is a bad Thing: and they are afraid of it yet.
 After awhile a, Man saw the black breath coming out of the tree-top and he, too, was afraid of it, for he knew what it had done to the animal peo- pie. The Man stood away off from it for a while, then he crept closer and closer.
 Pretty soon it made him feel good and warm, for he had been feeling chilly.
 But when he put out his hand and touched the fire he drew it back quickly.
 For it had burnt one of his fingers
 Then he went ID and threw a stick

 In little while the fire ate Up the stick so that nothing was left of it.
 That made the Man think that may be the Fire was his friend, for it took his gift.
 He went up and put q piece of meat on the fire but when it didn't burn it all up he took what was left of the meat and put it into his mouth and it tasted good.
 He thought it was the best meat he had ever eaten. And that is how the Man came to make q friend of the fire.

cording to Hitchcock, there is $15,-
600, 900 invested and about 1000 per-
sons interested in the potash industry
which has been encouraged by the
Government since the beginning Of
the war when -importEtions from Ger
many were cut Off
American potash is pumped out of
lakes which contain potassium salts,
while the German product is mined
just as coal is here.
Foes Can Sell ut Low Price.
This. together with the fact that
Germany, by using war prisoners for
labor, Senators say, will enable the
German product to be Sold much
lower than that produced here, ulti-
mately killing the industry in this
country. Once this is accomplished,
Germany will again have a monopoly
and can charge whatever figure she
pleases.
Senators are asking temporary ac-
tion to stop imports until Congress
can meet and pass measures to give
the American potash industry a
chance to build on a permanent foun-
dation. .
If the President will act now

some other agency. Congress in it's
next session can provide for a licens-
ing of potash imports or impose
tariff high enough to protect the in

Western Senators today were NOV

with the home produced article at the
most critical stage in the life of

Arrangements have been made,
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska has
been informed, for the. exchange of
American food for a part of the vast
stores OF German potash which was
mined during the war partly by
American and allied prisoners of war
and by women.
Five thousand tons, according to
cable reports, will soon reach this

officially verified.

Meanwhile the potash producers Of
Nebraska. and other Western States
report they have on hand 100000 tons
Of potash which they are unable to

Unless action can be had by the
War Trade Board or some other Gov

today that they might appeal by d.
