every American farmer for thousand
years. 1t is the famous green sand
of New Jersey-millions upon millions
of tons of which are found In that
state alone and running all the way
down as far as Virginia.
The Scientific American relates that
half century ago local farmers used
It as a fertilizer, but for some reason
abandoned it. Now its value has been
recognized again and big factory Is
being built at New Brunswick, N. j.,
for turning the green sand into pure
potash.
At recent meeting Of the Ameri-
can Chemical society r. Norris Shreve
read paper in which he described the
process. This involves treating the
green sand with milk of lime at about
47O degrees F. for one hour. Caustic
potash is the initial result, but this Is
easily changed into other potash COM
pounds. Potassium nitrate Is shown to
be the best form in which to produce
the green sand potash for the fertilizer
industry for In 1t are united two OF
the most essential fertilizing elements
nitrogen and potash.--New York

SAD FATE OF HENRY JASON

Henry Jason, the noted henpecked
the loss of personal liberty can do to
man. When the fathers Of our constitu-
tion passed the law relating to matri-
mony they forever put the shackles on
Henry Jason. Henry's zero hour came
when Portia Strong led him to the altar
and the justice of the peace tied the
fatal knot He has tasted no nectars
of liberty since, Bert Walker writes
I'm the Topeka Capital. But Henry
has not the strong and forceful charac-
ter of Old Bill Shiftless, so he sub
lnfts without a whimper. He tried
whimpering once and it put him in
hospital for two weeks One day when
Portia was away attending a meeting
of the Advanced Thought club, which
was very busy emancipating woman,
a iong-haired leader left pamphlet
at the Jason kitchen door. Henry
stopped long enough to read the front
gage The first line read: 1T Is
high time TO administer rebuke and
to check the forces which are try
ing to overthrow our constitutional
Rnnnunities and liberties" Just then
Henry heard a step ON the front porch.
He thought 1t was Portia. He was
mt once stricken with palsy and fell
In a dead faint It was two hours
before he came to and was able to
burn the pamphlet. He was still
shaking like an aspen leaf when Portia
returned at midnight. Had Henry
Jason not been deprived Of his personal
liberty when young man his name
would have gone down on the pages
of history alongside those Of John L.

HELPED IN GOING THROUGH
Motorists Got to Their Destination, Dur
"Papa" Had Had Lot to
} Do With II.

A party Of tourists was attempting
TO reach Pendleton On the Pendleton
nike between indianapolis and Pen
sileton when one of those things that
happen to motorists so frequently on
country roads happened. 1t was the
day after heavy rain and the ground
was thawing rapidly when this party
descended hub-deep In good, old
Wooster mud. Through some trick OF
luck, assisted by elbow grease, the
automobile was rescued from the mud
hole and the party about-faced to In
e,uire at the nearest farmhouse OF an
other route to Pendleton.
A small country boy came to the
door and seemed very reluctant to
give information as to the condition
Of other roads leading to Pendleton'
Have any other machines been go
ing through on this road?" the boy
was asked.
~Sure, they all have been goin'
fnrssugh. Papa's been takin' 'em
through for 81 apiece. You guys is
is the first customers we have lost" re-
piled the boy with deep frown.
A look around disclosed that papa
TOO was disheartened at the good luck
of the motorists in getting out on their
own power, because he had his team
fitched up ready to increase his mud
hole income for the week.

FLASHLIGHTS START BEE WAR
Naturalist In Charge Of Honsymakers
Consequently Has Her Opinion
Concerning Photographers.

"If," said Miss Lucille B. Berg, nat
uralist, dabbing baking soda on a
half score red bumps on hand and
wrist, there is one thing a law-abid-
ing, industrious honey bee loathes, it's
a photographer"
"How conner inquired an inquirer,
lifting polite eyebrows.
Flashlights" said Miss Berg, EN-
phatically. And it was flashlights that
started carnival of self-arranged
slaughter and sent two or three
hundred children and their mothers
and teachers milling around a great
glass cage in loop department store.
Inside the Showcase" was a glass bee
hive and a swarm of sure-enough bees.
The swarm belongs to the Society
for Visual Education and Is part of a
nature exhibit installed in the store. 1t
was brought from the Evanston studio
of the society by Miss Berg.
The BURGERS were lured from their
winter coma by warmth and food and
set to work making honey In the glass
cage for the instruction Of public
school pupils. Photographers taking
pictures of the exhibit aroused the
swarm and hundreds began fighting.
The colony broke up into pairs which
dashed and clawed and stung until
scores lay dead on the floor.
While the excited insects were
emerging from the hive Miss Berk
opened little door in the outer cage
and sought to close the entrance. In
an instant her hand and wrist were
covered with angry bees which drove
their daggers into her flesh.
Children and mothers and teachers
danced about squeaking warnings. Miss
Berg finally abandoned her effort and
the bees fought until exhausted.-Chi-

JUST WHAT is CITY GAS 2

The prediction was recently made
by a well-known authority on coal
that it was not far distant when the
burning of solid or raw fuel would
be a thing of the past. To the lay
mind this forecasts revolutionary
state of affairs, but to gas and coal
authorities, this is not so. As a
matter of fact, the only thing in this
world that burns is gas, so that when
we say we say we are burning coal
or wood or oil, what we really mean
is that we are separating the gas
from these products by heat and con-
suming the gas. The reason for the
statement that raw fuel will some
day not be burned at all, in the
homes, is because of the increasing
cost of rehandling this fuel so many
times, and of the extravaganza OF the
waste which it entails.
When City Gas is made from coal,
all of the by-products which the
housewife throws away in the ash
barrel are retained. These by-pro-
ducts are sulphur, ammonia, and
pitch, not to mention the thousands
of coal tar products such as dyes,
perfumes and medicines. In the
process of making City Gas, Of
course, a great deal has to be done
after extracting it from the coal to
purify it so that it will give the
maximum amount of heat units. 1t
is an interesting process, the first
stages being simple, although the
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1922-06-02

final stages involve some nice handl-
ing, such as washing and scrubbing
to send it through the pipes to the
homes, quite free from the impur-
tiles which come from coal. Strict
ly speaking, these cease to be i'm
purities when put to the proper
use. AS we burn raw fuel today,
however, these really are impurities
for they create no heat, and with
the housewife go under the general
heading of SCOT and ashes.
When the time comes that no raw
fuel is burned, it will then be neces-
sary to ship coal to few central
places and the heat units which 1T
contains will be easily transported
through the gas pipes. This will be a
benefit in another way, in a way
which is fast becoming necessary In
the thickly populated sections of our
cities, and that is, in the dirt which
smoke causes.

direct route TO the w. B. Just why
all this matter is being sent US we
hardly know, unless they want to
help Uncle Sam along by buying pos

dates think the papers are going to
make use of all this free matter.
We are thinking of keeping tab

SUMMER COLDS

This is the time Of the year that
a great many of our people are con-
tracing summer colds, and soon
hay fever will be in full swing. Both
of these affections are far more ser
ious than is ordinarily suspected, and
are no respecters of age. Many
times especially they are the direct
cause OF some more serious cOmpii-
cation following them owing to the
condition in which the tender mu-
cous membrane is left even though
the original affliction has to all ap-
pearances entirely disappeared
Camphosote is a splendid treat
ment for both summer colds and
hay fever. 1t is a wonderful stimu-
liant to the = tender mucous mem
brane and has a very soothing eff
feet on the irritated parts. It is
such a pleasant treatment that no
one, even the smallest child, OBJ
iects to its use; there is no harm, to
come from its use, and its effect Is
so Immediate that relief comes at
once, and it leaves the affected parts
in healthy condition and in that
way helps to ward off the more ser
ious troubles that oftentimes follow
during the fall and winter season.
CAMPHOSOTE is so different
from all other external II catments
for the reason that CAMPHOSOTE
is really vanishing cream that
does not grease or stain either the
skin or clothing; does not have to
be covered with cotton or woolens;
Just apply and rub until it has all
disappeared 1t doesn't have to be
even washed off, and may be used
Immediately before dressing for go
ing out, without any fear of the
least soiling of the clothing. CAM
PHOSOTE is sold by druggists and
country stores at 30c jar, and it is
the mothers in the homes that ap-
preciate it's use and benefits who
are recommending it to their
friends.

dollars had been saved. We again
read it and learned that during this,
his first term which is drawing to a
close, he had effected a saving of
$11. We looked it over and over
again, thinking perhaps it was $11,-
10000 or $1,100.00 at the least, but
neither. 1t was ELEVEN DOL
LARS. Almost two years and saved
$11. Mention is made of no other
transaction of saving, so the logical
conclusion is that during his term
thus far he has saved the county
$11, or $3.50 yearly-about 1Oc a

away any glory, but we might be
