COLLAGE

Plans are being completed by the
Bureau of Mines to take up promptly
the Ignite investigation for which
congress has just authorized the ex-
5peilditure Of 100000. A survey is
being made to determine the location
of plant at point. where the
chances of success are greatest. It
is practically certain, however, that
the plant will be located in the Texas
or the North Dakota field. Other
deposits Of Ignite are obviously less
suited for experimental purposes.
Only incidental attention is to be
given the secondary products Of the
benefciated Ignite. All the major
efforts are to be concentrated on OBJ
tanning a solid fuel and gas fuel. I'll
is realized that once it is demonstra-
ted that Ignite is susceptible to
treatment which will produce de
sirable fuel at cost permitting of
profit for private enterprise, the prin-
clpal purpose of the Investigation will
have been accomplished. The matter
Of development of byproducts would
go ahead rapidly once profitable in
dustry has been established.
1t is the object to gather together
at a single small demonstration plant
those elements that have apparently
been successful in the work that has
already been done in efforts to utilize
Ignite. Care will be taken not to di-
lutte the effort by extending it beyond
the plant which it is expected to oper-
ate. -.NR
The work will be under the general
supervision of 0. P. Hood, the chief
mechanical engineer Of the Bureau of
Mines, and under the immediate
charge of S. NJ. Darling.

FOREIGN DEMAND
FOR FLAX LARGE

Washington, March 6.-At present
there is demand for only about 49,
900 tons of flax in the United States
annually, for use in the thread and
linen crash industry, but the demand
abroad is large and insistent says
William j. Robinson, Of the United
States War Industries Board in the
New York Commercial. B..
Mr.. Robinson goes on to say in part:
There are today over 100000 flax
spindles idle in Europe; the price Of
flax. has advanced from 255 cents a
pound (before the war; to $1.00 and
81 so per pound.
There is, therefore, unlimited de-
mand for flax fibre now, and will be
for years to come, and at very high
prices.
The American Textile manufactur-
err, as soon as he realizes that he can
get. a supply Of the necessary raw ma
terial, will go into the manufacture
Of all grades of linen, because the bus
mess is highly profitable.
The demand for linen has been and
always will be very great, and if linen
can be brought within the reach Of the
masses in this country in point of
price it will win even greater popu-
larity,
Not only are the Irish, Scotch and
French linen manufacturers looking
to America for their flax fibre, but
number Of them, tired Of the great
strain Of war are looking to America
as a location for their linen manufac-
tories. s-
This is especially true Of the Irish.
linen manufacturer, who is. very APP
prehensive as to the imminent solu-
ton Of the Home Rule agitation.
Just as soon as we demonstrate that
our farmers will grow flax fibre
flax in sufficient quantities, and that
raw material can be had in America,
there will be a decided movement for
the location of several linen factories
in this country, and this will be more
especially true if the United States
government will guarantee traffic pro-
lection to this young and important
industry.
l have made careful study of eli
matte conditions in various parts of
America in relation to linen manufac-
ture, and j find that the conditions are
absolutely ideal
There is the proper amount of hui
nudity; there is splendid bleaching
water, and l do not know of one UNI
toward condition which would hinder
the carrying out Of every recommen-
dation that l have made. Either for
the growing of fax and bringing it to
a high state of profitable cultivation
or for the manufacture Of linen Of all
grades. out Of American FAX.

Rev. VIM. Walker preached a pow
erful sermon in the Congregational
church Sunday morning on the good
that would come out of the worlds
war. He also paid his respects to the
senators in Washington who were OPP
posed to the league of nations and
was rather sarcastic in his criticism
Of them. That is big question to de-
eide and we doubt if criticism of the
men who are opposed to the program
Of a league Of nations is the right
thing at this time. Thirty seven SEN
ators are opposed to the league of ma
stions as drawn up at the, present time
and many of these men represent the
best brains and thought of the coun-
try. The service Sunday morning was
in the nature Of victory service and
was very interesting one.
