Brigadier- General Amos A. Fries, Chief
of the Chemical Warfare Service, U. S. A.,
in recent paper said:
"What thrill it must have given the
German himself when he realized the al
most limitless power the control of the dye
industry would give him when waging
war. He felt that with that control he
could win In war against the whole
world. And few indeed are they who
know just how close Germany came to
winning that war. The lesson which
that bit of history teaches US is to make
ourselves masters of the chemical industry
in all its ramifcations, resting secure in
the knowledge that if we do so no power
on earth can overcome us for lack of war
materials. s."-Es.

FARM MACHINERY PRICES
REDUCED

A few days ago at St. Paul, in con-
ference between the Board of Control, and
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation,
the latter requested that the prices on
farm machinery be reduced. The demand
for reduction in farm machinery prices
was one of the first acts of the new farm
bureau administration. The delegation
representing the farmers consisted of ]. r.
Reed, president; F. E. Lamers, vice-presi-
dent; and ]. ]. jacobson, George Freeman,
Thomas E. Cushman, ]. d. Pyle, directors.
The Board of Control, realizing the
present trying position of the farmers, and
ever willing to assist them in bettering
their condition in anyway that lies within
their power, took prompt action and made
sweeping reductions in prices on all farm
machinery manufactured in the Minnesota
State Prison. 1t is with pleasure we quote
the price reductions made on machines:

MODERN DAY MIRACLES

toric sunshine. Ages before the dawn of
our own era vast forests covered large
portions of the earth's surface. In this
ancient vegetation were stored up the
treasures of nature and after the lapse of
ages it became the heritage of civilization.
For centuries after it came into use coal
was looked upon as valuable only as fuel.
Later coke was obtained from it, then sui
phur and lampblack, and finally gas for
purposes of illumination. That seemed to
be the limit of its possibilities few years
ago but today it would be difficult to
enumerate all the articles of commerce
extracted from its by-products.
Coal contains little of everything that
goes to make up trees but it would be
mistake to imagine that everything that
comes out of coal tar is contained within
it. While there are only about dozen
primary products extracted from coal tar,
from these the chemist is able to develop
hundreds of thousands of new substances.
"
of building up intricate compounds step
by step.
Raw material for the development of
these coal tar by-products-war materials,
fertilizers, colors, drugs, and host of other
things-exisits in abundance in this coun-
try, but we must be sufficiently interested
in our future independence to save it. We
can not go on indefinitely wasting billions
of dollars worth of this invaluable sub
stance if in future years we hope to stand
on an even footing with those nations that
long have recognized its value.
The development of these products and
compounds goes back to the color industry.
This is not large business in itself but
it certainly is a strategic one because
American industries employing more than
two million workers and producing ap-
proximately three billion dollars worth of
products every year are directly depen-
dent upon dyes. Take, for instance, tex
tiles, leather, paper and paint.
New wonders are constantly being dis
covered in coal tar. Recently French
scientist succeeded in producing several
small but perfect diamonds and synthetic
rubies have been on the market for some
time. Instead of sending traders on
perilous quests to the four corners of the
world for needed things man may now
stay at home and trust to the chemists to
produce every necessity and most of the
luxuries. No longer need we be dependent
upon the potash deposits of Germany if
we manufacture our own fertilizers. Far
off rubber trees are not so important if

AMERICAN ROMANCE
Continued from page Il

cry had been sent by sea to Panama and
around the Horn. Sometimes boats on the
Missouri had their troubles as freight car
riers, or if it was specially important to
hurry freight from the Iowa lines to the
Union Pacific there might be labor diff
culties. George Stephenson built his lines
in the country which of all lands under
heaven had the best developed iron works,
but there were no iron foundries in the
lonely regions the tracklayers of the Paci-
fic had to traverse. To classify the labor
ers would indeed be past human power.
Soldiers, teamsters, emigrants from all
parts of Europe, colored men and Chinese
worked as railway builders. Soldiers
guarded the surveying parties. Rifles
were placed on the construction trains.
Skirmishes with the Indians were semi
occasional features of the advance.
The British idea of building railroads
to serve the coal trade and to join one
populous town with another was so COM
mon sense that it is praised all over the
world. But the American idea was to
make towns and farms and mines possi-
BILE, to join the oceans, to see that no settler
was out of the reach of military protection,
and then to assume that population and
wealth would come in due time. 1t was
not irreverently that John P. Jones COM
pared the locomotive to. the pillar of fire
that guided the Israelites through the will
derness, nor is it speaking lightly to quote
the prophetic saying that the valleys were
to be filled, the mountains and hills brought
low, the crooked made straight and the
rough places plain. Within about four
years our countrymen did more for the
material development of the continent than
the Spaniards had done in four centuries.
Inevitably the construction of a trans
continental line reused the Indians as no
action of the pale faces in former years
had done. The shrek of the whistles and
the thunder of the wheels upon the rails
would frighten away the game. With
the railroad would come settled agricul-
ture, wholesale stock raising, great fruit
ranches, and large towns. Soon the Indian
would be a man of the past, and the
whole land from ocean to ocean would be-
long to the white man. Every workman
on the railroad looked out for Indians as
the early settlers at Jamestown or at Ply
mouth had done. The advice of an old
soldier of the plains to the young Nelson
A. Miles was: '1f you see Indians be
cautious; if you don't see Indians be more
cautious
Spencer wrote brief paper showing
how many sciences co-operated in the pro-
duction of child's calico frock. All the
sciences and all the arts were furthered
by the gigantic work of the railroad COM
panies. Bridging, tunneling, mountain
climbing, hard work as they seemed to be
and were, did not fully occupy the minds
of the engineers, There were facts about
the plants, the animal life, the agricultural
and mineral possibilities which flashed
