Of the year. Florida seedless grape
fruit does not come on the market
until late winter and early spring
and some Of the dealers predict it
will be only a matter of a few years
until seedless grapefruit will practic-
ally displace the seeded varieties
where they come in competition. In
other words, Texas has almost a
monopoly on the seedless grapefruit
trade from December to February or
March and il would be well for those
planting new groves to take advan-
tage Of this condition in the selection
Of varieties.
Pink Fruit a Novelty

novelty and undoubtedly will remain

WASTED SALT
 WATER PROVES
 VALUABLE NOW

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 6.-Salt water, perennial bugaboo of oil field operators, may contain chemi- calls with a value comparable to the oil it frequently adulterates. Oklahoma City's new oil field is the site of plant Dr. Otto V. Mar tin, chemical engineer, is building to recover valuable material from water that many oil companies give away as worthless.
 Dr. Martin contends that salt water, properly utilized, is worth more than oil itself. The problems of recovering and purifying the chemicals in the brine, he says, have been solved.
 "These primes long have been known to contain useful chemicals" !" he explains, but their economical recovery and particlarly their puri- fication and form always have pre- sented a problem"
 A supply of brine is believed to underly the Oklahoma City field. Chemists say it will yield not only high grade of common salt, but magnesium, bromide, iodine and other chemicals.
 These chemicals can be broken up for recombination into still more varied products. Proximity to na- tural gas resources also makes pos sible production of other gases and c h m c Is, such as chloroform, through combinations of chemicals with natural gas.
 Tests of salt water in other fields, Dr. Martin says, have started plans for plants in South America, On- tario, California, Ohio and Kansas.

 The Carnegie report set forth in particular the keen rivalry for schoolboy and prep talent among the leading colleges of California. The University of California in it's August "C" Bulletin, issued for the benefit of alumni, published a num- Der of letters written by various schoolboy athletes to friends. These were some of the excerpts:
 T have already received some of- fers of scholarships from ot h Q T schools, some of them in the con- ference, and jobs that will pay my expenses through school My dad cannot see my going to Cal and putting out lot of money when I can go to several other schools without the cost"

Mysterious Fortress
Found by Range,

Wisdom, Aug. Poorest Rang
er Ramsey has discovered a
mystery fortress. He was con
s%tructing a fire trail up Johnson
creek to a well-nigh inaccessible
spot. On the summit of the con-
tinental divide he found a fortress
of sufficient magnitude to shelter
500 men. Surrounding the man.
made pile of rocks is a magnifi-
cent meadow capable of feeding
quite a horse troop. Who built
the fortress, or when, he has not
been able to learn. He once re-
ceived report of a government
wagon being found in a canyon
below this site, but gave scant
credence to the story because of
the inaccessibility of the location.
