SOMETHING ABOUT SALTS.
1t Is Cut Like Ice From Lakes
in British Columbia

People who make wry faces at dos
es of EPSON Salts will be disappoint-
ed to learn that the worlds supply
will not be diminished for many
years to come. There is an EPSON
Salt mine in British Columbia where
the salts are mined in slabs about the
way we harvest ice, with a saw and
iorse and pulleys to drag the cakes
out. This mine is really chain of
five large lakes near Basque, British
Columbia. The surface of the salt
lake is hard white crystal. Slabs
are cut out with ice cutting saws and
then the liquid oozes up and readily
hardens into more slabs of crystals.
These deposits are more than forty
.eet deep and are practically one hun
dred percent pure.

and prosperity of the banking business
depends on the safety and prosperity OF
farmers" Joseph Hirsch. chairman of

ence to maintain properly the Department

est here because Of the recent plea of
farmers to the Treasury and Federal Re-
serve board for aid in crop marketing.
They declared they were losing millions
because they were forced TO sell at low
prices.
Hfrsch urged support of the Fedora
tion Of Farm Bureaus, which is studying
cooperative marketing.

convention, W. A, sadd, vice president
Of the savings bank section Of the as
