LOOKING BACKWARD.
Some Strange and Unexpected Things
That the War Has Produced.

No one five years ago would have
thought it possible that there would be
an international world conference at
which among the five leading powers
reconstructing the map of Europe
neither Germany nor Russia would be
represented.
Five years ago Germany was by
some odds the strongest military pow
er in the world End Russia was regard
ed as potentially very strong. Both
powers were stronger than they had
ever been before.
Austria Hungary was at that time a
power of note. but it had been deca-
dent since the days of Maria Theresa.
1t was so constituted that its perpetu-
ity was inp po. s BILE and had been for
some years little more than vassal
state of the German empire. The
prophecy of its dissolution would not
have been received at any time in the
last fifty years as out of the range of
the possible.
But when the great war began in
1914 who would have believed that at
the end neither Russia nor Germany
would be represented at the assem-
bling of the peace conference, and that
the President of the United States
would be central figure IN such pro-
ceedings?
The shaseup of the world war has
made graa and surprising changes.
but Germsi-+ and Russia being at the
beginning "a opposite sides it would
hardly have been thought possible that
in the end 10th would be in the down.
and-out class to be admitted to the
conference at the sufferance Of the
other powers.
Both still have the possibilities of
future greatness, and, freed from auto
cratic rule. should attain to higher lev
els than they have before known. It !
depends upon the unity and sanity they
are able to preserve, Possibly 're-
gain would be more htting word
than ''preserve" in this relation. GER

"UNEARNED INCREMENT"
Luther Smith Gets "velvet" to the Tune
Of $1,000 Without Effort.

Luther Smith. son of }. K. Smith,
Grandview, Unexpectedly and m
knowingly seems to have come into the
possession of tidy little sum and.
that-too. without effort or design on
his part. Thereby hangs tale" of
unusual interest.
ter C. G. Black was directed by Chan
cellor A. n. Rcherts to sell the Bur-
nett heirs land, lying in Grassy Cove,
for partition of the proceeds among
the heirs. After due legal process the
land was sold at public out cry and bid
in by Luther Smith for $500. Smith
did rot make any cash payment, but
gave notes due IN one and two years.
Robert Fora. son Of the late A. J.
Ford. sisned the notes as security.
Yourg Smith failed to pay the notes
and the clerk was directed to take
judgment against the property tor the
notes and interest an re- sell the prop
erty to satisfy the notes.
The property was sold Saturday by
Deputy Clerk Black and as the bidding
was sp,r e.. the property brought
$3.50. Now ATTORNEYS claim that all
over the amount necessary to satisfy
the original note CT $500. interest and
costs will 60 to Luther Smith. the
orit inai purchaser, in spite of the fact
that ne never paid any part of the pur
chase price.
In brief. by q piece of good luck,
Luther Smith gets 81. 900 or little
more because he made an obligation
for $500 and didn't pay 1t.
The property was bought by J. A.
Kemmer. In spite of the fact that
Robert Ford. who secured the Smith
notes. was an active bidder. There is
about so or go acres of the land, lying
mainly on the side of the mountain, is
rather rough. none too fertile and con-
'ists of the three tracts. AS it joined

1alus to him than anyone.

MOUNTAIN DEW"
"BottIe, Bottle, Who's Got the Bot

There's a new story going the
rounds, story too real TO lie strange.
! too probable tobe dlscredited as a mere
, tale about town.
The supply of mountain dew fail
ing in their immediate vicinity, two OF
the county's foremost citizens made II
memorable expedition of some fifteen
miles into new hunting grounds.
A scarcity of saddle horses was the
first difficulty encountered; the next
was the weather, which turned into a
downpour whirled around into a
double-ended hurricane. This did not
greatly benefit the 10 or II inches of
mud already distributed on the road
BED, but believing the end justified the
means, these worthy gentlemen rode
oh,-and on, even into the night.
Their quest was n ore difficult than
they had anticipated. 1t was OF lv
after four discourage interviews that
one solitary QUART was secured in
exchange for Five Dollar "William.
In view of what they were to exper-
fence on the home stretch Of fifteen
mountain miles, supper and fire were
now in order. and were finally secured
by further disbursement of rs cents
apiece. Meanwhile, they left the
QUART carefully slowed in some per-
fectly conn onplace saddlebags.
Some three miles towards home the
effects OF their rs cents began to wear
of and it seemed the time had come to
break the QUART.
Both men worked heroically at the
wet straps OF the saddle bags, although
their fiugers were clumsy with the

that 1t took considerable ti,ue for the
horrible truth to penetrate.

TRUSTS BRING OWN UNOOING
This Country Almost Free from German
Potash and Yucatan Sisal

1t seems one of the fixtures of ua-
tpre that where any ration ur n en- SO
far succeed IN controlling any neces-
sarycommodIty that Is used by the
world as to render than monop ly op-
presslve. the world always fnos a way
of relief.
One of the most marked Instances of
that now before this country is in the
potash necessary for fertilizer. All
we used formerly came trou Germany
and during the war the supply was so
completely cut off that tke world gen.
orally suffered seriously or turn ed to
its own resources for relief, even
though those resources seen d 1T first
entirely Insufficient to supply tie de-
mand.
ST, ce potash coulu 10 longer be Sc
cuieu from Germany it esrly became
clear to this country tat We ust find
sufficient supply TO rcme rse
home. AS a result active investiga-
tiohs were made and large quantities
of potash were found IN TIE beds Of
the extinct lakes of the west. other
sources were the waste from smelters
of the precious metals and finally the
enorm US beds of kelp growii G off the
Pacific coast were brought into use to
some degree and now the total pota ash

to soon furnish the needed supply.
1t is well understood that a very
large part of the nitrates used for fer
tlizer and other uses were brought
from tie nitrate beds of Chile, which
required many ships and weeks and
months of effort to get it here.
Since the war broke out the United
States has erected a large nitrate plant
!. !. 1uscIe Shoals, on the Tennessee
liver. and now our n.Hsded supply Of
litrates will be supplied 1t home.
One of the most important things
fecting the farmer and the bread
upply of the country and the world is
he use of binder twine.
For several years the government Of
,ucatan has held the sisal crop in an
ron grip and charged the world ex-
or: icnate prices for the supply it
aust have. The amount Of twine used
a this country for binding the wheat
rop each year runs into many millions
d, llaIs.
Since the Yucatan government has
D completely manop0lixed the supply,
ur government has been making ex-
aI sive experiments in tne Philippine
stands and Porto Rico with the result
nat in a few years, at the farthest,
70 will be able to draw our needed sup
ly from those sources, coupled with
ne small amount furnisheh bylaw ali.
Taking these three instances 1t is
cry Gle r that extortiyn ard monopoly
ings its own undoing. That condi-
on applies with equal fierce to private
rms and Individuals, regardless of
ow they may view the matter.
