WHERE SP0NGES ARE FOUND
Chief Source Of Highly important
Article Of Commerce Is the Islands
Of the Mediterranean.

Few people who use spOnges ever
give thought as TO how they are OBJ
tanned, says a correspondent In the
London Daily Mail. The finest quail
ties and largest quantities Of our
sponges come from the Mediterranean
the chief grounds being off the
Greek and Turkish islands-thence
through the Dardanelles to the Sea of
Marmora, and so along the coast of
Asiatic Turkey and Syria to Cyprus.
Here the spOnges are brought up by
divers, either stripped or attired in
full diving costume. When sponges
first reach the surface they present a
fieshy-looking appearance, the sub
stance being covered with a firm skin,
or membrane, In which apertU'es ap-

ance, being intersected by numerous
canals and cavities. The cavities are
filed with a sticky fluid of greyish-
brown color, termed milk"
This is the only living portion Of
the animal, and must needs be re-
moved Immediately; otherwise putre-
faction speedily sets in and destroys
the elastic nature Of the sponge. II
this operation is not performed on
board before the vessel reaches shore.
the filled sponge bags are dispatched
with all speed to the gathering
grounds. There the fluid is removed
and various cleaning and bleaching
processes transform the raw" sponge
into a beautiful lemon-yellow color.
This done, the sponges pass to other
hands for trimming to shape, and
later they go to the graders, who
sort them according to quality and
size. The next process is that of dry
ing, after which they are weighed and
packed ready for shipment.

CONTROL FIRE.

Fire is good, but it must SERVE:
Keep it thralled-for it will swerve
Into freedoms open path,
What shall check its maniac wrath?
Where's the tongue that can proclaim
The fearful work of curbless of flame :?
Darling wide and shooting high,
1t lends horror to the sky;
1t rushes on, to WASTE, to scare,
Accusing terror and despair;
And sinks at last, all spent and dead,
Among the ashes it has spread"
The season for greater use of fire
in buildings is approaching. Is your
whole. heating plant such as to keep
the fire in thrall?
Sound stoves, furnaces, boilers,
smokepipes and chimneys are neces-
sary to do this.
All these become heated, sometimes
red-hot, and radiate heat in all direc-
tiOns, and woodwork in contact or
near is always liable to be ignited.
In installing stoves, furnaces and
boilers provide a clearance Of at least
two feet above and on all sides. If
this clearance is not present, protect
the exposed woodwork with metal
over oAe-quarter inch asbestos board;
metal alone is no protection, as it
readily heats through. Cover the
boiler with asbestos plaster, and the
top Of the furnace jacket with sand
or other heat resisting materials.
Never neglect the metal stove board to
protect the floor and to catch coal and
ashes.
Keep clear distance of one and
half times the diameter of the smoke
pipe between such pipe and the joists
and all wood or lath-and- plaster
ceilings, and a distance equal to. the
diameter of the smokepipe to any
wood work or lath-and-plaster wall or
partition on the side. Where such
clearance is not present, put in as
bestos board and metal protection.
Woodwork in contact with a zone
brick" chimney spells danger, and
should be cut away and the space fill
ed in with asbestos or other heat re-
sisting materials.
A dirty chimney is always liable to
burn out and set your or your neigh
boris roof on fire.
Provide metal receptacles for ashes
and fire proof ash bins or store ashes
in the open, away from buildings and
fences.
These cautions are simple. Every
intelligent citizen knows these facts;
he only sleep-procrastinates. This
procrastination costs the state nearly
two million dollars worth of prop
erty a year, and is responsible for the
loss Of many lives. These da1 GERS
are present day and night and fire

when the occupants of buildings are

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
OUR STANDARDS OF LIY-
ING MUST BE MAINTAINED
Russell
Farmers Face Keen Compe-
tition with Europe and Orient.
Must Realize Better Returns.
By Dan shalfer. COUNTY Agent

The farmer of the future will win
through an accurate knowledge Of
better seed, better stock. better feed
ing methods, better control of waste
and loss from disease, better business
methods in storing and marketing his
products. Such is the prediction of
Director II. |. Russell of the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station of the uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Russell sees the nation entering
another area of keen commercial
rivalry, and America with its higher
living standards facing world com
petition for necessities of life in
which our products will compete with
those of cheap lands and cheaper la
Dor both in Europe and the Orient
All this, he believes, will mean that
America agriculture must be placed
upon an efficient basis.
Improved Methods Needed
Never were the results of our ex-
pertinent stations more needed than
they will be in these days of readiust-
ment, said Russell, "And never was
there a greater obligation resting up
on them so to order their activities as
to aid most effectively those whom
they We're designed to serve"
In the course of his interview Rus
sell points out for generations the adj
vance in agriculture was largely
through experience alone, and such
improvement was almost wholly by
the individual. Then the government
stepped in and founded experiment
stations for agricultural advance.
The result is that more solid progress
has been made in the past 80 years
than in centuries before.
Exploiting On The Wane
Russell expressed confidence in the
behalf that the exploitive stage of
American agriculture is about over
for as he said. machine methods will
not control bugs and blights. A
knowledge of cause and effect, intelli-
gently applied, alone will do that"
The farmer of the future will win
only through an accurate knowledge
of better seed, better stock, better
feeding methods, better control of
waste and loss from disease, better
business methods in storing and
marketing his product.
According to Russell, 80 per cent of
the raw materials of production come
from the farms. Never have the
business interests of America, from
financial circles, through all phases
of manufacturing, to the ultimate
units of labor, realized as keenly as
now the absolute dependence Of the
entire commercial structure of the ma
tion on its agriculture. If this de-
clines, food costs rise, raising wages
still higher, and making it that much
more difficult for America to compete
commercially with other industrial
centers.
Must Go Deeper
"The experiment station of the future
must dig deeper than ever before"
said Russell. The days Of placer gold

ture and distribution, has resulted
In price quotations far below what
you'd expect on tires known to be
better built and more enduring.
Practically every important race
event for three years has been won
on Oldhelds. The Wichita Test Run
IN which an entire set of Oldfeld
Cords covered 34,525 miles on rough
roads proves the mettle of the Most
Trustworthy Tires Built in every
day driving.
The Master Driver and Tire
Builder has given the public a new
standard of tire wear and tire cost
a true economy that every car owner
should know about.

facts--talk to him.

Mr. Howard averred that % per

JUST BUTTONS

!, : The people of the Y. 5. pay
an average Of $100,0O0,000 year
for buttons and have sent Sl6,OOO,0OO
worth abroad since the beginning OF
the war.
The history Of the button industry
in the United States, since the war
cut off our principal source of foreign
buttons, drawn chiefly from Germany
and Austria-Hungary, is, says the
Trade Record Of The National City
Bank of New York, one OF great
activity both in home production and
expectation. In the year before the
war the value of the buttons turned
out by our factories was $2O,00O,OOO
which a census statement recently an
nounced shows the value OF the out
turn Of our button factories in 1919,
the largest census year, S43.OOO.00O,
and experts in that industry estimate
that the sum paid for them b. the
"hnal consumer" in the United States
was about $1O0,000,000. The total
number OF. buttons turned out by the

factories of the United States in 1919
is stated by the census at 69,323,ooo
gross, or Equivalent to practically
10000, 600, 100000 buttons.
Beside this big total of over $4,000,
600 worth Of buttons supplied to the
home market by our manufacturers,
they have rapidly expanded their
sales abroad. Prior to the war the
value Of the buttons exported from the
United States averaged a little more
than a half million dollars year,
but with the chief European button
manufactures, Germany and Austria
Hungary, cut off from the outside
world the foreign demand upon the
United States was greatly stimulated
and the value of our exports. Of this
class Of manufacture jumped from
a little over q half million dollars in
1914 to IL millions in 1915, 2 millions
in 1916, 2h millions in 1918, 3k mil
lions in 1919. and nearly 4 million
dollars in 1920.
