WHO IS A BOLSHEVIST?

Maybe your ice man is Bolshevist. Maybe your best friend is 8 Bolshe- vist Maybe you are a Bolshevist yourself! If you want to find out Harold Kellock tells you in the Feb ruary Good Housekeeping"
 I'm studying up on Bolshevism," said Aunt Emmy placidly, as her knitting needles flew over the be- ginnings of sock for some lucky lad in the navy.
 'What?" I gasped, for Aunt Emmy is an old fashioned woman. It is true that she is one of those old-fashioned women who make one doubt whether evolution will give Us anything bet ter. 8 housekeeping. sock-darning housewife, an authority on babies and rose gardens and preserving and the poems of Shelley. a person who can make of a little flour and a couple of apples, a pie fit for those gormandiz- ing Greek gods, and now a voter with a range of shrewd political and social judgments.
 ''Bolsh evisn,' declared Aunt Emmy, without interrupting her ne- gotiation of a perfect toe, seems to be spreading-Hks the chestnut blight You remember the chestnut blight began at the New York Botan- tcal Gardens and spread north and east into New England. The Hudson blocked it's march south and west for time, but after 1t got up the river g. ways, 1t jumped across, and the first thing they knew 1t was all over Penn sylvania, and in few months 1t got as far south as Virginia. In the next generation Longfellow's poem, the great schoolhouse favorite. beginning.

 Now I'm wondering, the way this Bolshevism is spreading, if all the wonderful stories about kings and princesses, and how the bright little errand-boy gows up to marry the daughter Of the head of the firm or of the bank president, won't lose their meaning, too., Apparently under Bolshevism not only the kings and princesses, but also the heads of the firms and the bank presidents, disap- pear like the chestnut trees.
 And more particularly I'm anxious to know how this Bolshevism, what ever it is, will effect babies and young married folks, and the price of butter an how 1t will effect folks who don't get along very well. Most folks don't seem to get along very we'll. There are lot more of them than bank presidents and heads of firms.
 Almost all of the nice people I know are excited and alarmed about this Bolshevism. They don't know much about it. but they don't like 1t. We didn't like the chestnut blight, either, but the trees are all gone"

CRISIS IN THE AMERICAN
 POTASH INDUSTRY

The present is a critical time for the potash industry recently established in the United States, according to H. S. Gale, of the U. s. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. Prior to the war this country used more than a million tons (gross weight) of po- lash salts each year, and 1t has been supposed that the cutting off or a large part of this supply was a keen deprivation, particularly to the far mer, by whom 1t was used for fertil- izer. This foreign supply has not been available during the war, and with much energy and enthusiasm a do- mestic production equivalent to about 1ne fourth the former importation has been built up. Now. however, it is unexpectedly disclosed that there is little or no market for potash either ] the high prices that have prevailed or even at a considerably lower price. No satisfactory explanation of this situation seems to be offered.
 Approximately 100000 tons (gross weight of potash salts, produced in Nebraska in 1913. are reported as ly- ing in storage warehouses, distributed throughout the southeastern states, which is the region where potash is principally consumed. This is of the same quality that was used in 1917 and is immediately available to the fertilizer manufacturer or the far mer. Potash of other sorts from various sources is also reported un- sold, though in smaller quantities. As this surplus represents approximate ly half the relatively small domestic production and as potash from for eign sources has not been available during the year, it Is difficult to ex- plain this apparent lack of interest in the present small domestic sup p1r

NC CHARGE FOR
 COMPENSATION

Washington, Feb. 15.-Steady pro gross of the movement to compensate for indu rial accidents without suits to prove the negligence of the employ CT is noted in a bulletin issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing that six new states adopted oompen- sation legislation in 1917 and 1918 and that only ten states of the union have not accepted the principle.
 '"The day seems not far distant when the obsolete system of damage suits and charges and counter-charges of negligence and contributory negli- gence will no longer be used in the disposition of industrial injury claims" the bulletin says.
 Fear that such legislation would entail undue burdens on industry was said largely to have been eliminated as result of satisfactory experience under compensation laws and be- cause 1t Is becoming better understood that the laws do not cause injury losses but only distribute the burden of them on the industry as a whole, instead of on the weakest element of 
 realization has opened the way for amendments Iberalizing the awards allowed.
 Advances noted in tha bulletin are the shortening of the waiting time, for which as a rule no compensation t5 allowed and the increase of the all lowance of medical and surgical aid. A notable departure fin this cOnnec- ton is the provision of the Washing ton statute for the more effective and equitable administration of medical benefits.
 Among important court decisions on the laws was cited the Supreme Court ruling which denied the appli- cation of state compensation laws to employees of interstate carriers.
 The states which have not adopted the principle of industrial compensa- ton are North Dakota, Missouri. Ar kansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Georgia.
