Saltiest Lake in
 World Purchased By Capitalists.
rsv international News Service }

Senlac, Sask., Nov. 9.--When five capitalists of Calgary bought a small lake near Senlac recently the country people laughed. The joke was that hard headed business men should be SO foolish as to invest real money in lS7 acres of water.
 The lake has been known for years as the Dead Sea- Though a few miles away rich farm lands stretch on every side, the country immediately about it is a desolate, treeless prairie En- circling it are beaches white with heavy encrustations of salt that at a dictance resemble the breaking of con- tinuous surf. In this snowy border the green lake suggests giant emer- aid set in whte enamel.
 Boys who swim in it's deep holes can lie on the surface without motion as on feather bed and could go to sleep comfortably if they wished Standing upright without touching the bottom, nearly half their bodies are out of the water. Those who dive bob up out of the water like corks. 1t is almost impossible to sink.
 Before purchasing the worthless" pond the capitalistic quintette had the water analysed. 1t contained from 53 to 55 per cent salt. This is a salt content greater that that of the Dead Sea in Palestine and five times great CT than that of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The Saskatchewan lake is be- lieved to be the saltiest body of water in the world.
 The new proprietors began at once to operate a solar plant on the shores to extract the salt from the water Its output is ten tons a day. They have begun the erection of an evap- oration plant which, it is said, will in crease production to 500 tons day The salt is the kind used for pack ing, refrigeration and livestock The lake, once regarded as worth less, will proven, it is said, a gold mine to it's owners. Experts declare il contains enough salt to supply all o1 western Canada, and make it inde- pendent from Utah, from which most of the country's salt heretofore has been imported. The lake has neither i inlet nor outlet, but is fed by saline springs which well up, it is believed from vast salt deposits deep in the earth.

BRADFORD KNAPP ON CROPS. Urges One-T Reduction in Cottor
Acreage for 1921.

Acreage for l9Zl.
 From the Southwest American.
 What are we going to do about it?v
 Dr. Bradford Knapp, national au- thority on cotton and crcp diversifi- cation is going to fire that question at Sebastian cotton farmers at II o'clock this morning in meeting to be held at the circuit court room.
 He will point out that wehenever manufacturing industry finds that it is not selling, it does two things:
 First-It does not try to press its sales; in other words, it does not sac rifice it's price to sell It's goods.
 Second-It cuts down the amount of it's production. Dr. Knapp said s'They must grad ually and slowly market this crop and cut down their acreage next spring.
 "There is no escaping the fact that the world needs our cotton and needs it now" he added Germany is cry ing for cotton. They are wearing pa per clothes in that country. But there is also no escaping the fact that the world cannot buy the cotton it is in desperate need of. If we grow more of it than we can sell, we'll be stuck; and if we sell 1t all now, we'll glut the market and get nothing for our labor"
 Arkansas farmers next year must raise all their food and feed and grow cotton strictly as surplus crop, Dr, Knapp sontends.
 Every family must have garden There must be raised potatoes. Syrup must be produced. Poultry enough for meat and eggs, milch cows to provide sufficient milk and butter, Corn, oats and forage or hay for all stock, and hogs for meat-these are essential.
 Dr. Knapp favors reduction of 33 l-3 per cent in the acreage given over to cotton in Arkansas.
 Ut should not mean smaller pro- duction," he remarked. With better methods. better seed and better mar keting of cotton, the returns from 66 per cent of the acreage should be as great as from a farm 100 per cent.
 He urges all farmers to ascertain the class and grade of their cotton and market it on class rather than as "iust so many bales" and adds that he finds an increasing tendency among the farmers to determine the real val ue of their crops before offering them for sale.

RENEW MINE STRIKE WAR.
Three Shooting Affrays in West Vir'
 ginia Trouble Zone.

Williamson, w. Va, Nov. S.-Three shooting affrays, including two at tacks upon mining properties, and an attempt to dynamite mine tipple, have kept state troopers busy in the Mingo coal strike zone within period of eighteen hours, according to reports made by authorities here today. Two of the attacks carried out by parties of unidentified men occurred late to- day ~.
 Violence in the strike region prac- tically disappeared while federal troops had charge of the situation. Several days ago it was announced the soldiers had been. withdrawn last Wednesday and that state troopers had returned to the Mingo district.
 The first act of violence occurred last night when dynamite explosion damaged the tipple of the Thacker Coal Mining Company at Rose Siding, twelve miles from here. The two minor battles were stopped by state troopers. There were no casualties.

Some Prayer.

A celebrated revivalist came to ad- dress his flock, and before he began to speak the pastor said: Brother Jones, before you begins this dis course, there are some powerful bad naoy,.oae in fhie here ;=fjTiVTeyaiiOn. and 1 want to pray for you" which he did in this fashion:
 70 Lord, give Brother Jones the eye of an eagle that he may see sin from afar. Glue his ear to the gospel telephone, and connect him with the central skies. Illuminate his brow with brightness that will make the fires of hell look like tallow candle. Nail his hands to the gospel plough, and bow his head in some lonesome valley where prayer is much wanted to be said. and anoint him all over with the kerosene oil of Thy saliva tion and set him afire. ."-Congression- al Record.

OBREGON COULD NOT
 TAKE TIME T0 MEET
Too Near Inauguration of Mexican President to Permit His Meet
 ing Senator Harding.

Mexico City, Nov. 9.-It would be impossible for General Alvaro Obre- gon, president-elect of Mexico, to meet Senator W. c. Harding at the border city while the latter is on his vaca- tion in southern Texas, said a state ment last night from Obregon head quarters. The short time which in- tervenes before the inauguration of the general and the necessity of pre- pairing a legislative program to be submitted to congress were given as reasons for abandoning all thought of meeting the American president-elect.
 Assertion was made that General Obregon realized the benefits to be derived from such meeting, and per sonally desired it.

Stand up for Mena.

There has been popular idea in Polk county that most everybody, and especially those making their cam paign on road legislation and the use of the so-called emergency clause, were particularly in favor of the referendum and the restriction of the emergency clause. Strange as it may seem in four of those centers the voters cast but 50 votes for and 249 against Amendment No. 13, which specifically placed the referendum in the hands of the voters of state, coun- ty and municipality, and restricted the use of the emergency clause. Nevertheless The Star still believes in majority rule and has no use for the emergency clause unless there is a sure-enough emergency.
