Cornstarch Industry In
America Is Enormous

The manufacture of cornstarch has
grown to such proportions in this coun-
try that the industry now consumes
about 5O,OOO,0O bushels of Americas
great crop each year, according to the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington. From each bushel of corn
the average manufacturer makes thir-
ty-three pounds of cornstarch, and in
1921 the ten largest concerns made
nearly 1850. 100000 pounds Of this
product, which was more thar 80 per
cent of the total produced that year
This Industry, which began in the
United States in 1914, has been grow
Ing rapidly In recent years. By 1880
the factories had reached n productive
capacity of 230.O0O.OOO pounds, and
practically all of II was consumed here.
BY 1921 there were nearly so plants.
and S6,OO0.0O0 worth of the output
was exported. These figures are from

industry.

Creosoted Fence Posts
Last for Manv Years

The fact that wood is becoming
scarce and labor more expensive Is
causing farmers to seek means Of max
ing their fence posts last longer, says
the New York Times. Experimenters.
have shown that creosote will solve the
problem, according to the New Jersey
College of Agriculture.
Prof. E.. r. Gross Of the college states
that fence posts treated In creosote will
last three to five times as long as
untreated posts, this being especially
true Of the softer varieties such as
willow, ash, elm, soft maple, white
cedar and cottonwood. Many consider
1t inadvisable, however, to ~creOsote
the harder woods, including oak, red
cedar and chestnut.
The college recommends the use OF
round posts for creosoting rather
than split posts, as the penetration
will be more uniform. All bark must
be stripped Off and the timber well
seasoned before creosoting.
"Creosote eight to ten inches above
the depth to which the post is to be
SCI lIlSc must Iollllle tuheS pldCt ut
or just below the ground line" says
DR.. Gross. posts three or four
Inches in diameter at the top give
best results, as they are strong enough
for most purposes and usually last as
long as larger posts. 1t is important
to get thorough and deep penetration
of the creosote. A good. vat is made
of an old steel barrel set over n
roughly constructed furnace. The Gre
osote Is kept at the boiling point and
each batch of posts is left In the vat
about two hours, depending on the
rapldity of penetration. One inch
penetration should be obtained. In
order to determine this a post may
be split or sawed in two. The tops
of the posts should either be dipped
or painted with hot %creosote. A farm
err having n wood lot may well spend
a few days this winter cutting posts.
Next winter these posts will be prop
erly seasoned for creosoting."

"Wanted" Men Hard to
Find in the Far East

Major Bailey Is wanted, the notice
on the boarding told me; and instantly
my mind flew back to a land where
boardings are heavy with notices Of
wanted mel who are never found.
Every town in the East has a lengthy
list Of men who are wanted for crimes.
The natives affirm that no true GRIM
inal Is ever brought to book, but that
the police, to Justify themselves, from
time to time, make an innocent man
pay the penalty Of another's sin.
The fact is, of course, that the or
binary methods Of detection as we
know them in the West are useless in
the East. Few there can read notices,
even though they be printed in the
v%ernaculars Of the populace, and SO a
crier parades the streets with a little
drum Followed by n rabble of ur-
chlns) to tell them of the latest man
who is wanted by the police.
The people come to their doors, and
when the crier has passed and the
taps of his drum have grown faint
they whisper among themselves. The
chances are that they all know where
the wanted man is hiding, but they
are all resolved never to give him up.
Not all rewards in the world will
make them tell the crier what they
know; for the East is a land where
vendettas still prevail and every ma
tive is aware that a man possesses
power to strike ever after he is dead.
So, after the crier has passed. the
criminal leaves his hiding place and
moves on to the next township, toward
the frontier where also he is sure of
shelter and security.
Across the line he will be one of
a hundred brigand bands that rove
among the hills from Kashmir to
Chinese Turkestan. There every GRIM
inal is beyond the arm of the law

California Utopia Has
Turned Out a Failure

Dreams of anothe' Utopia we're
shattered recently when the majority
Of stockholders of the Santa Barbara
Fellowship Colony filed a petition for
dissolution Of their corporation in the
Superior court in Santa Barbara.
The colony vas organized June .,
1921, as a nonproft corporation to
purchase homes and the necessities of
life on a cooperative basis.
Socialists and other "fadists," to-
gether with n number Of more con
servative citizens, purchased land with
the intent Of building a colony Con
ceding freedom Of opinion with in
dorslng any religious, metaphysical
or political doctrine" but ito encour-
nge the spirit OF good will and mutual
service Mt all tines" says the Los An
geles Times.
The petitioners give the following
reasons for dissolution:
'The objects for which said corpora
tion was organized have not been full
filed.
There appears to be no possibility
OF accomplishing the Ideals and pur-
poses Of Incorporation.
1T Is essential that the debts of
the corporation be paid and this is
possible only by liquidation OF assets"
The colony purchased a large tract
OF land on Lamesa in the city limits Of
Santa Barbara and to date not more
than ten houses or shacks have been
erected.

F. KRAFT a 5,.H4
RETURNS TO CITY
AFTER OPEDATION

Discharged from the Mayo Bros.
hospital July /, after an entirely sue
cessful major. operation, Reverend
F. F. Kraft, pastor Of the st. Thomas
Episcopal church. returned to this
city early this morning. He stopped
off in Cheyenne to attend the an
nual meeting Of the Glorious OF Wy
oming, and also in Laramie, where
he viewed the dedication of the Me-
mortal Cross by the Episcopal church
Of that city.
Rev. Kraft said this morning that
a Communion service would be held
at the st, Thomas church next Sun
day, in accordance with an announce
ment which appears elsewhere IN this
issue. He is much improved in
health, but does not yet feel equal to
a sermon. Evidence of his i'm
proved health Is seen in the fact
that Rev. Kraft has gained 16 pounds
since his operation.

PEPPER HELPS
MAN ESCAPE AT
WAMSUTTER MON.

Throwing pepper in the eyes of a
Deputy U. 8. Marshall, who was
taking his prisoner to Idaho, enabled
the prisoner to escape through a win
dow of train number 25 at Wam-
suffer Monday evening.
Although the Republican has been
unable to get a few facts or the
case, the main story is that the
Marshall and the prisoner had just
returned from the dining oom where
they had eaten their dinner. Evil
IDENTIFY the prisoner secured a pepper
shaker while in the dining room and
had hidden 1t somewhere in his
clothes. When the two men return
ed to their car the prisoner asked
permission to go to the lavatory.
The Marshall accompanied him and
when they arrived in the small en-
closure, the man threw a handful
of pepper in the eyes of the Mar
shall.
The train was just pulling out of
Wamsutter and had o gained much
speed when the pepper was thrown.
The prisoner jumped out of the car
window and made for the hills. The
train had gone about a quarter of a
mile before the Marshall could find
the conductor and get the train stop
ped.
The officers should not have much
difficulty in finding the man for he
had an Oregon Boot" on his left
foot and the train was stopped before
he could get a good start. The Of
ficers in the other towns along the
Union Pacific were notified of the
escape and they are all on the look
cut for him. Unless he had aid from
the outside, the prisoner should be
captured within a few days.
