Peat Is extensively used as fuel In
northern Europe and as fertilizer in

Owing to the scarcity OF raw mate
rails in Europe, peat and peat moss
are employed also as substitutes for
absorbent cotton in the preparation OF
surgical dressings. for wool and for
cotton and wooden cloth. In the United
States peat Is utilized chiefly as ferti-
liZer filler, as stable litter and as an
absorbent for the uncrystallized resi-
dues Of beet and cane sugar reGneries
In the manufacture Of stock feed.
Peat has long been used In ferti-

DEMOCRATS PLAN ID TURN THINGS OWE R
 DURING OCT OBE R
Party Leaders Aroused Con- Cerning Need of More Money to Present Cause to

Washington, September H.- (Speciai) )- Despite the fact that it's candidate is a newspaper man, the democratic party is just awakened to the fact that advertis- ing is an absolute essential in modern success. That the republican party ap- parently has a bulge on the situation is due to the fact that the republican party has advertised.
 In extenuatien for it's omission in this vital respect, the management of the cam paign explains that it has never had the necessary money, whereas the republican management has had it in abundance The democratic management, however, has concluded that if money is necessary, it will get the money.
 E. H. Moore of Ohio, who managed Governor Cox's fight in the convention, is said to have assumed the role of Mark Hanna, shorn of all that made the role when played by Mark Hanna iniduitous. It is the claim of the democratic man. agenent that it can turn the situation upside down in October.
 THE GREATER NEED
 The democratic party has been more in need of money than the republican party. In the first place, 1t was confronted with the necessity of converting more than l. 900 GOO republican votes, it being estimated that normally there are approximately 100000 more republican votes than dem ocratic votes. To convert this great num- Der it was vital that the democrats pre- sent the League of Nations-that having been determined upon as the chief issue in every possible manner, in it's most ap- pealing characteristics. Newspapers, bill- boards, speakers, everything and every body to sound the doctrine and repeat it, were most important. But money was necessary and money was lacking.
 The republicans on the other hand had the money It doesn't matter the source from which they obtained it. They had it. And with the votes, and with the machinery for holding the votes, and weaning democratic votes, they soon pre- sented themselves in magnificent strength before the public.
 VERY FEW SPEAKERS
