POSSIBILITIES UNAPPREC-
lated SAYS ELSPASS
Dehydration Builder and Operator
Says People Here Do Not Realize
That the Ozarks are Garden
Spot of the World.

]. H. Elspass, builder and operator
of the J. H. Elspass Dehydration
Company, and licensee for the Ham
mond Process Of dehydration, says
that the people of the Ozarks do not
realize that they are in the garden
spot of the world. With its fertile
soil and climate, the Ozarks can raise
everything and its possibilities are un-
limited.
MI. Elspass says that dehydration
of garden products and fruits marks
an economical evolution, to which the
people are becoming educated lowly in
this section. He says that through
this method the land will produce
much more of profit to the farmer
than by methods formerly used.
There is a market for this product
every month in the year. There is
no rushing of a product on the market
for fear of loss. There is not the ex-
pensive icing, nor the expensive
freight charge on a product which is
80 per cent water and the container
is not expensive as in case of canned
product.
The boys and girls and the unem-
ployed will all find work when the
,dehydration plant gets in active oper-
alton. Every bit of labor in com
munty will be utilized. The farmer
loads his raw product on his wagon or
truck, drives to the dehydration plant,
gets his money and returns home. He
does not have to go to the expense of
buying containers or of packing.
The pay roll of such a plant is large
and practically all Of the money is
spent in the neighborhood where it is
received. The product used is all OF
home production, and not shipped in
as raw material as is the case of other
factories. 1Ae community as whole
receives all the benefit.
Mr.. Elspass stated that there are
now $50 dehydration factories in
operation in California. At Salem,
Oregon, monster plant is in opera
tio, which employs $500 people. Near
that town they are producing berries
on an acreage of $500 acres to supply
the plant. A bank in the town.
which had $3SO,OOO in deposits in 1916
now has $S,OOO,OOO several millions OF
which are from the big dehydratior
company at that place.
Mr.. Elspass was much surprised al
the indifferent attitude taken by some
of the citizens of Peirce City in regarf
to this project. He said that he founc
Peirce City beautiful little town, ly'
ing practically dormant, with unllmlt'
ed possibilities around them. With {
good dehydration plant in operation
in Monet, with possibly branch sta
ton at Peirce City, that town woulf
develop beyond the dreams of its In
habitants.
At Topeka, Kan, the dehydratloi
promoters in two weeks raised suttlc
lent funds to erect a large plant IL
that town. At Monet they have beer
working seven weeks, and the countr.
around Monet is much superior t.
that around Topeka.
MIR. Elspass will meet with tn
dehydration committee of the Com
mercial club and others this evening
at the First National Bank and it i
expected that the company for Monet
will he oroanized at this meeting.

GOOD INDICATIONS
AT WELL No. /
From Aurora Advertiser

From Aurora Advertiser
There were many visitors at Well
No. / yesterday and the reports
brought back are most encouraging
for oil, because all and each of those
who went declare emphatically that
they saw oil on the water in every
bailer brought up. But that is not
all. At about four o'clock, when the
crowd was greatest, the bailer was
let down to the bottom of the hole
and everyone stood in suspense while
170O feet of steel cable hoisted the
bucket and contents to the top where
it was dumped in a large iron pan.
As the valve slowly opened and the
sludge began to pour into the pan,
grease and plenty of it made the en-
tire contents resemble more mixture
of heavy grease and water than any,
! thing else. Then the water found its
way out of the bailer and with rush
filled pan to overflowing and black
bubbles of grease frothed and spumed
and ran over and out into the pure
clear water which come from the outer
casing which now carries the cased
out water, and showed great spark
ling iridescent colors everywhere, for
a distance Of many yards around, men
and women together exclaimed at the
beauty of the rainbows and each and
every one of men said Tt's Oil.'
The bailer now in use is finding it
easy to beat the water which is find
ing it's way back out of the oil sand.
1t may take days and it may take
weeks to completely clean out all the
water which has found its way into
! the path of the oil and driven the oil
back from the well, but no one can
watch the rainbows which show on
every bailer hauled out and say that
when this water pressure is all re-
moved the oil itself will not pour into
the we'll and come to the top free of
all water and freeing the minds of the
people from any and all doubt that
Well No. is & dandy.

True education Is life, light and love

Surely not only the created world we see
