Texas Stock and Potash.

ITO protect the public from Misrepresentation and
i fraud by INSCRIPTIONS promoters and sellers
of stocks based potash deposits in Western Texas
the United States Geological Survey, Department of
the Interior states that the potash deposits there,
instead of being IIoo 900 feet thick, rep
resented by the promoters have not yet been proved
be of workable thickness of commercial value.
Rich potash salts comprising the mineral polyhalte,
which were deposited in association with great thick
ncsses of rock salt and gypsum in "red BEDS" in
Germany, and in fact, at the same time as the Ger
man deposits, have been discovered by representa-
tves of the United States Geological Survey and the
Texas University Bureau of Geology and Technology
in cooperative search, but though this discovery,
which was made public early in June, is encouraging
and interesting the practical question whether the
deposits thick enough to mme-that is, whether
they worth anythng-is yet to be answered
Some years ago J. A. Udden, of the University
of Texas found traces of potash salts in brincs and
cuttings from a we'll Spur, in Dickens County
and fragments of potash-bearing mineral in the
Miller well, southwest of Amarillo, and in boring
at Boden twenty miles north of Amarillo. Not long
Survey, which had been analyzing brines and salts
from all parts of the country transferred its prnci-
pal search for potash, under authority of Congress-
to the great red BEDS region Of Western Texas,
Eastern New Mexico, Western Oklahoma, and
Southern Kansas. About three years ago the Texas
University Bureau, in charge Of DR.. Udden, joined
with the Federal Survey in this search. The syste-
matte study of the geologic history of the region and
of the salt and gypsum deposits, including the phys
cal conditions prevailing in the area when these de-

posits laid down, convinced the geologiss that
potash salts may have been deposited somewhere in
this region in commercial thickness. Over 600 feet
of rock salt precipitated through the evapora-
ton OF water that was impounded in shallow ba-
sins in parts of this great area, and, according to
the geologsts, beds OF potash salt also should have
been laid down in some of these basins in assoca-
ton with the rock salt and most probably in areas
where the rock salt attained its greatest thickness,
deep beneath the Staked Plains region. The dis
covery of these beds, however, would depend first
drilling for oil in where the potash was
laid down. and second, the very doubtful chance
that the potash salt if bored through would be
noticed by the drer. Accordingly the cooperation
of the companies drilling in the region request
ed in this Search they asked to samples of
the drill cuttings OF wells sunk in near the salt
beds and OF any brnes that might be found. Most
of the drillers however, considered this work too
troublesome, that the samples OF cuttings and
brines submitted relatively few and represented
mainly wells drilled in the northern part of this
gion. During the oil boom, however the wildcatter
has here and there drilled test well for oil nearer
to the Staked Plains. and some cuttings from num-
Der of these wells have been tested by the field OBJ
stationed by the survey in Northern Texas.
In sample taken at depths between 24os and 2,425
feet from the Bryant WE'LL in Midland County the field
observer found strong signs of potash. While sam

potash found in cuttings from the 1864 foot
level OF the Burns No. well, in Eastern Dawson
County. The sample of cuttings from the Bryant

polyhalite, contained whole, about per cent of
potash (K2O) or 80 per cent of the soluble salts.
The potash probably represents thin seam in an

that it was now safe for them to
come to the city which had suffered
so terribly at the hands of the heath
en- foe. And, hearing them speak,
Daniel had groped for his staff and
said: 81 will go to Jerusalem for it
is my right to stand with the others
when the Temple is redeemed and
purified"
So the two set out together, the
eager boy and the soldier who was
bowed by suffering and affliction. In
eled swiftly, for Reuben served as his
eyes, and often when the warrior
grew weak and weary, lifted him in
his own strong young arms and car
ried him upon his back. And when
they neared Jerusalem, they met a
wealthy merchant of that place, who
household during the prosecutions of
Antiochus of Syria; he was an old
man, proud of his name and his
wealth, but when he heard that Dan
iel had been one of Judas men, he
ordered him to be seated at his side
in his litter, and bade his servants
bring them wine and bread to eat
and water for their bleeding feet. Then
when they set out for Jerusalem
again, Daniel rested upon soft cush-
ions in the rich merchants litter,
while Reuben followed with the rest
of the household, rejoicing that the
long hard journey was almost over.
Reuben had never seen Jerusalem.
for until the war devastated the land
he had not been old enough to be
required to take the journey to the
Temple for the three great pilgrim
ages each year. But he had often
heard Of the wonders of David's city,
high upon the hill, for through his
grandfather's eyes he had looked upon
the stately palaces and fair gardens
and the shining Temple, as the old
man had seen them in his own youth.
But looking upon his blind friend,
Reuben rejoiced for the first time
that Daniel would not be forced to
gaze upon the city for which he had
suffered, now laid waste and spoiled
by the heather, whose shrines still
stood on every side. mocking the des-
ecrated places once held dear by every
son of Israel. Guiding Daniel along the
uneven flag stones through which the
grass had struggled, Reuben entered
the Temple, now crowded with sold
iers, who hurried hither and thither
bearing the heather statues and
other unclean objects the Syrians had
left behind them. While some stag
gered under the weight of the altar

heather sacrifices and could no longer
be used. 49, s.,.

ben at last Joined the soldiers, not to
fight, as he had once dreamed, but to
help them prepare the desecrated
Temple for it's re-dedication. So for
several weeks, he worked with the
others helping to clear away the
heather symbols and the debris that
had accumulated during the time the
Temple had suffered from alien
hands; later he aided those who built
the new altar and bore new vessels
into the cleansed shrine, to take the
place of those the Syrians had made
unfit for use. And though he often
grew very tired, for he was still only
a young lad and wearied sooner than
an older man would have done, it was
great joy to Reuben to do his little
share in cleansing the holy place; an
even greater joy to serve as Daniels
eyes and tell him how fair the shrine
was growing, how the quiet face of
Judas glowed when he looked upon
the work of his soldiers and declared
that the Feast of Rededication might
begin.
So the day came at last when the
Temple Of Jerusalem was again con-
secrated and the people from every
town Of Judea flocked into the holy
city to take part in the great rejoic-
ing. And because Israel celebrated
the rescue of her Law, which her
sages called her "Light," from the
hands of the heather, there was not
house which did not bear before it's
door a lighted lamp, in symbol Of the
Torah's rekindled flame. But when
the people gathered in the Temple to
fill the cups of the festal Menorah
with oil, no oil could be found, save
that polluted by the heather. And
all agreed with the priests that such
oil could not be used to fill the Ner
Tomid Everlasting Light which was
to kindle the other flames of the great
candlestick before the altar.
Judas at once sent forth swift mes
sengers to bring pure oil and those
gathered in the Temple courts waited
in great impatience; for now that
their long days Of struggle and toll
were over, it seemed hard to bear
further delay. And the waiting
seemed hardest for Daniel, for, al
though he stood among his old COM
panions, the soldiers of Judas, his
darkness made the hours seem very
long, and his old wounds troubled him
so that at last he was forced to beg
Reuben who waited at his side to lead
him where he might rest.
~ will sleep little for I am
weary" he told Reuben, when the
boy had placed him upon a couch
in one of the inner courts. "But call
me the moment the messengers re-
turn with the oil. Although I can
never see the great menorah blaze
again, | wish to be there when the
sacred lights are kindled."
So Reuben promised to come for
him, and went back to- the soldiers,
grieving as he had often done before
that the strong warrior had grown
as weak as little child. And Dan
iel lay upon the couch, tossing rest
lessly, weary yet unable to sleep, for
he longed to be with his companions
before the altar.
Several hours passed and darkness

the disappointed youth back to his
own home. For while the lad ragged
at the quiet life he was forced to
lead, hidden in the mountains with
only the dreamy old man for company
while all the rest of Israel seemed
focking to Judas banner But he be-
came a little more reconciled when
after the battle of Bethhoron two
soldiers dressed in ragged garments
knocked upon the door of his grand
fathers hut and demanded shelter
for the night.
One of them left early the next
morning to rejoin his brothers in the
field, but the younger man, being
blinded and wounded, was obliged to
remain. Now the days were not at
all long for Reuben, for Daniel re-
quired many things and the boy took
great delight in nursing one who had
received his hurts while fighting in
Judas army. Then when Daniels
wounds were healed and he was able
to grope about in the sunshine, lean
ing on his staff, Reuben became his
constant companion. always eager to
listen to the tales the blinded soldier
told of camp life and adventures in
the hills with Judas and his men. The
boys heart often filled with envy at
the thought Of what had been denied
him; yet he was a little clad that he
had remained at home, not only to
care for his grandfather, but to serve
this broken man who had served his
country so faithfully and at such
terrible cost. And the two became
like brothers drawn together by their
hopeless desire to serve upon the bat
tlefields as we'll as their love for Judas
who they believed would drive out the
Syrians in the end.
There came day when Reuben
could not rouse his old grandfather as
Cyrus sat dreaming in the sunshine
and he knew that Cyrus was dead.
Now he was filled with great long
ing to follow after Judas and serve
in his army, but he knew that he had
no right to leave Daniel, blinded and
helpless, who had learned to depend
upon him for his very life. So Reu-
ben stilled the wild longing in his
heart to take his place with the men
who fought to overthrow the Syrian
tyrant and remained with his stricken
friend; and the quiet days in the hills
went on as before.
Then the quiet was broken by
rumors that Maccabeus had actually
entered Jerusalem and had taken pos
session Of the desecrated Temple. A
few warriors from his army, permit
ted to return home to their families,
struggled past the hut in the hills;
on another day several sturdy women
from Modin travelled by on their way
to Jerusalem that they might rejoin
their brothers and husbands who had
sent them word by. swift messengers
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-12-23

In the days that the Syrian soldiers
swept over the land of Israel, taking
even Jerusalem and polluting the
Temple there, young Daniel Of Modin
followed his townsman, Judas, son
Of Mattahies, into the mountains.
There Judas assembled together his
army, and, poorly provided with. wea-
pons, ill-fed and ragged, led them out
against the trained hosts of Syria.
And in the end he conquered by the
aid of the living God in whose name
he fought, but not until many brave
Judeans had purchased the liberty of
their country with their blood.
In the days that followed the bat
tie Of Bethhoron, Daniel, although re-
joicing in the great victory Of Judas
Maccabeus over the Syrians, knew the
darkness and the bitterness of de-
feat. He felt that it would have been
far easier to have died upon the field
Of battle than to have been left
wounded and blinded, no longer able
to fight for his country and hardly
able to help himself through the long
years that still stretched before him.
A comrade had taken him to the
home of Cyrus before rejoining the
Maccabean army and there Daniel
lived in poverty and loneliness, hear
ing only rumors of the wonderful VIC
tories won by Judas and his soldiers.
Cyrus was an old, old man, very help
less because of his age, so feeble and
removed from the stirring times in
which he lived that he hardly. knew
there was great war raging, which
was to bring peace and freedom to
all of Israel. For he spent his days
nodding in the sunshine; even when
he was fully awake he never spoke
of the present, but loved to tell tales
of his own boyhood before the Syrians
had swept over the land and polluted
the shrines Of Israel.
Daniel would surely have gone mad
with loneliness and his own despair,
had it not been for Reuben, a boy
just grown to manhood, old Cyrus
grandson and the only one of his
blood who remained in the world, for
all the rest of Reuben's kin were
dead. It had been the cause Of great
grief and disappointment to young
Reuben that he had not been allowed
to join the armies of Judas the Mac
cabee. In the early days Of the war
he had indeed run away from home
and presented himself before the
great soldier, begging to be allowed
to fight against the hosts of Syria.
But although Reuben was tall and
we'll grown for his years and Judas
was sorely in need of warriors, the
great commander felt forced to re-
fuse the boys prayer.
"Your grandfather is an old man
and helpless" he told Reuben, after
L I. L
pie, "and should he fall into the
hands of the soldiers of Antiochus,
it would go hard with him. For they
spare neither old age nor piety, if
the rumors that have reached me of
the death of old Eliezer be true. 1t
it your duty to care for him as long
as. he needs you; some day, perhaps,
it may be given you to serve the God
of Battles"
So, with that kindly smile which
somehow seemed to accord so well .
