this cheap commodity brought its pro-
ducers in the United States in 1918
nearly $27OOO,0O0, which was ST.
100000, or 35 per cent more than
they realized in 1917.
These figures and many others
showing the domestic production of
salt, bromine, and calcimum chloride
in 1918, by kinds and by States, are
given in chapter of Mineral Re-

Some producers reported that the
cost of labor was nearly double that
in 1917, and many had trouble in
getting laborers of any kind. One
producer reported that though the
prices were higher in 1918 than in
1917 the profits were less.
We exported more than a million
and a half dollars worth of salt in
1918, most of it to Canada and to
Cuba, though, strange to note. we
sent nearly 100000 pounds, valued
at about $4,000, to PARKWAY New
Zealand.

HIGHWAY TO COST
BILLION DOLLARS
u. S. Plan For Huge Expen-
diture Meets with
Approval
BY Louis Ludlow.


Washington, Sept. Ga cool bill
lion dollars is the sum now mention
ed in a matter-of-fact way in connec-
tion with the building of a federal
highway system.
Word reaches the national capital
that DR. S. NJ. JohnsOn's repeated
references to this large sum at the
various stops in the transcontinental
journey of the United States army
motor transport corps invariably in.
vokes the most emphatic sore of ap-
proval.
This has been particularly the case
in the extreme western country,
where the need of highways is vital
and essential to early development.
DR.. Johnson, who is a member of the
executive committee of the American
Automobile Association Good Roads
Board, thus summarizes the national
roads problem:
"The unpaved parts of the United
States are held back in their de-
velopment precisely as are the paved
parts of city, and the unpaved part
is the part where food is produced.
while the paved parts, especially the
cities, are suffering because the un-
paved parts lag. To correct social
cleavage and excessive costs we must
pave the road beds of the tagging
regions and we must do it now. The
financial loss due to operation of our
rolling stock upon improper roadbods
is so great that it must not be per-
mitted to continue. The greatness
and urgency of the task makes quicx
action on a large scale an imperative
necessity"
Following DR.. Ogden's talk at
Ogden, the business organizations OF
that city fired Utah senators and
representatives urging that the
in the Townsend bill for
federal system be increased to ST.
600, 900, 200.

OUR SALT.

Salt is plentiful in the United
States, and more of it was produced
in 1918 than in any preceding year,
yet the rise in its price helped little
to increase the high cost of living.
The average price of salt per ton in
1914 was $2.09; the average price
in 1918 was s3.72. an increase OF rs
per cent. The lowest estimate of hu-

TTNHE governor was astonished when
i the matador came flying into his lap
Likewise he was angry, for he had come
to see the matador kill the bull and not

So the governor gave sharp orders and
soldiers promptly threw the matador

Then Circus Mike took n hand, grabbing

mouth. and rushing kim around the
ring. Badly scared the matador threw

small openings In the wall.
While the crowd was still laughing
over the vanquishing of the matador
Countess Alice ran through the arena

he walked to the entrance and stepped
within.
Dimly the moonlight illumined the
interior. Across the tent a figure
bent above the blankets of bed.
There was a whispered word, and
another figure rose from the blankets
to a sitting position. Slowly Albert
Werper's eyes were becoming accus-
toned to the half darkness of the tent.
He saw that tho figure leaning over
the bed was that OF man, and ne
guessed at the truth OF the nocturnal

A sullen jealous rage envcloped
him. He took a step in the direction
Of the two. He heard a frightened
cry break from the girls lips as she
recognized the features of the man
above her, and he saw Mohammed

her back upon the blankets
Cheated passion cast a red blur be-
fore the eyes of the Belgian No, The

not be robbed of his rights.

CLEEPLESS upon his blankets.
~ Albert Worper let his evil mind
dwell upon the charms Of the woman
in the nearby tent. He had noted
Mohammed Beyd's sudden interest In
the girl, and. judging the man by his
own standards, had guessed at the
basis Of the Arabs sudden change of
attitude toward the prisoner.
And as he let his imaginings run
riot, they aroused within him bestiai
jealousy Of Mohammed Beyd, and a
great fear that the other might en-
compass his base designs upon the de-
fenseless girl. BY strange process
Of reasoning Werper, whose designs
were identical with the Arabs, pic
tured himself as Jane Claytons pro-
tector, and presently convinced him.
self that the attentions which might
seem hideous 20 her il proffered by
Mohammed Beyd would be welcomed
from Albert Werper.
Her husband was dead and Werper
fancied that he could replace In the
girls heart the position which had
been vacated by the act of the grim
reaper. He could offer Jane Clayton
marriage-a thing which Mohammed
Beyd would not offer. and which the
girl would SPUN from him with as
deep disgust as she would his unholy

the torches and bullets and hatred Of
these hideous and degenerate men.
With a stifled sob and little shud-

her tent and sought the pile OF un.

Throwing herself face downward upon
them, she sobbed forth her misery

at one another and ceaselessly at

about the small interior of the tent
while the girl, wide.eyed in terror ana

frozen silence.
Again and again Werper struggled
to draw his weapon. Mohammed Beyd.
