POTASH INDUSTRY ON
 WAY TO SUCCESS

Berlin. March 9-Germany's potash industry disrupted by the war, is rapidly getting on it's feet again. With in the last few months, according to recent announcement, Germany has concluded arrangements for reSump- tion of her potash trade with all Euro pean countries, except Poland, and including the United States. The value of the total potash output in Germany in 1921 is estimated at 2,5O0, 100000 marks.
 In a review of the potash business in the Transatlantic Trade Journal for January published by the Ameri- can Chamber of Commerce in Ger many, it is stated that relations with dealers in the United States recently have been re-estab1ished, the Aneri- can consumers now being considered, and most important market for this branch of trade.
 The report says that Germany, in reviving the industry, has felt the competition of A1sace-LOrraine, especially in the American market, and bordering countries owing to the favorable freight rates-
 Of particular interest to America is the statement of the Chamber of Com merce that the potash industry estab lished in the United States during the war is not considered in the least as hindrance to the German export trade of the near future.
 The journal estimates that in 1913 Germany exported about 50 per cent. of it's entire potash production while the export trade for 1921 averaged about 5 per cent. of the business done in the last peace year.

 based her work. It was two wears after her graduation when she was at her home in Worcester. Mass. The English valentine. which is in Mrs. Hodges collection, has an elaborate

He returned to bewilder her with or ders amounting to $5,0O0.
 Miss Rowland enlisted the aid of her friends to fill these orders. The following year she had double her working force. Soon she found her self with a valentine factory on her hands, and was importing materials from Germany. She made furthere lnnovations' including the use of silk She originated the idea of emb ossing Autograph ornaments which was utilized by firm in Germany.
