There are vast deposits of
"bentonite" in this state which
have heretofore been liability,
rather than asset. In m e
places the soft, light-colored ma
terial is exposed, in others it is
covered by a few inches of dark
gumbo soil. Soap holes,' the
cowboys called these places, and
we'll named they were for the
jellylike material was like soft
soap and those curious enough to
investigate further found it to be
smooth and cleansing. In its raw
state it could be rubbed into the
skin like vanishing cream, and
washed out. taking with it the
dust and CRIME.
Bentonite is usually found in
the lower Benton shales of the
Cretaceous age, taking the name
from the maker shale beds of the
Colorado formation, near Fort
Benton. Its general purity is ac-
counted for by the theory that it
was deposited in an arid or semi
arid climate during a period of
little or no rainfall, and conse-
quently erosion was temporarily
suspended.
Used in soap, bentonite adds to
the cleansing qualities, and seems
to be beneficial to most skins. In

all and said that neither the BUN
nor the house nor the man was
any good. There was nothing
commendable about any of the
work"
"why didn't he like them? They
sound wonderful To me" said
Bobby.
First of all, Momus looked at
Neptune's bull. He wrinkled his
forehead and declared that the
bull was no good because his
horns we're not in his forehead,
before his eyes. He said the bull
could have fought better if his
horns had been there.
Then he turned to Minerva's
house. 1t was q fine house, built
on sound foundation. Mornus
said the house was a failure be-
cause it was not movable, and IL
bad neighbors came to live nearby
1t couldn't be moved away.
Last of all. Momus considered
vulcan's man. He declared that
the man was the worst of all.
Why? Because Vulcan hadn't
put a window In his mans breast,
so that his thoughts might be
seen"
