M. re than this, its henefic encrs are In ing felt by the Inhabi tants of i ; section In hk ii a way that perm. i m. iny of habitation aiid bemg is t iw the watchword, where only a te Months ago the uncer tainty of ii ei.olonous existence, with ils hieviu.'o. .nail opportunities and smaller re. 1 1:, was conducive oniy to that l-..ii-i.-,g for green, r Hrjs that is til w detrimental to newly de eii d developing country. Ih s I :.,t.i Two tear Old it haw ! less than two 'years since the u.r,t of the vurlous plants for proilieMig potash from the alka line watnij whs established. With their incri , and rapid commercial headway his come the story of op portunity for the honu steader and small land owner of thi.i Kictlon that compares well with those told of the nrtlhun, the mechanic and the labor er in those vicinities of the east that nave benefited so remarkably by the u-caliel "war brides." In the amount of money Involved, however, the similarity ceases. Tor nowhere ii.e west can we, as yet, point to the laborer purchasing $600 talking machines, nor can we make mention of one who only recently hard-pressed Is now riding to work In taxis, uven could we boast of the latter, we have not the incentive. But through this aid many of our home steaders are not only adding to their uerds, but are providing shelter and comforts for themselves and stock they already have, that they could illy do before. Then there are those wao are increasing their land hold ing In a manner that is gratifying, considering that only a few Bhort months ago they were agreed they would be fortunate to get out with a living and a few dollars to the good. Towns throwing Fast Our cities are likewise benefiting In fulsome manner. Alliance, that formerly prided itself on the bin railroad pay roll, is now so engulfed with ponderous activities as a result of these near-by industries that the citizens have now come to look upon tho railroad pay day as incidental in a progressiveneps that Is beyond the most sanguine expectations and sieadily growing. Where formerly they were satisfied with several fair ly good hotels, with more of lesser Importance, they have now in -contemplation one of the most commodi ous and modern western Nebraska can boast of. This is to be built by Alliance capital alone. The court house, finished within the last year, a pride to any community, and the federal building now nearing com pletion, have almost lost their at tractiveness in the -wild desire to build business blocks and residences In keeping with the demands of the present year. A refinery to be erect ed at Alliance for the handling of the completed products of the vari ous plants and an exclusive plant to be built at Uirdscll, just east of Al liance, are among the big projects in view with the disappearance of frost. Home of l'iist Phuit Hoffland, twelve miles east of Al liance, the home of the first potash plant of Important commercial value In the United States, now has a pop ulation of 200, and if it were not for the havoc caused by the recent car shortage in obtaining material this number would have been augmented quite considerable. It Is the policy of the company to employ married men and as an inducement they fur nish a house, fuel and lights, togeth er with an addition to the salary of the cost of board for the head of tie1 iViniiy. Ail men employed, either single or married, are furnished board in addition to wages paid. In this plant has originated many im provements in machinery that has made possible the reduction of the crude liquid to a commercial state. Not only have they developed con venient machinery, but appurten ances and scientific advantages that make possible the perpetuity and permanency of the industry in com petition with the world. From this small hamlet since April, 1915, has gone forth Its products to all parts of the United States and even as far as New Zealand. Two That Are Models The next town eastward. Antioch, has two plants that are models of their kind. The American Potash and Products company has been In operation about sixty days. The Ne braska Potash company, which has been delayed because of Inability to get material, is about under cover and will be turning out potash with in the next thirty days. Residences and business houses ate fast dotting the prairies of several months ago. With the softening of the weather i is predicted Antioch will have a population of f00. all of whom will be employed or sustained chietiy in the full operation of the plants. The machinery in the Nebraska Potash company's plant combines both alkali and potash treatment, making it a double paying proposi tion. With its opening will he em ployed a decidedly greater number ot ln n. Hero I a Model Town At Lakeside we have the model town. I lie Hold Potash and Prod ucts company has not only built a modern and extensive plant, but has aiti.td to build a city thai is a thing of beamy. All houses for the mar ri" 1 n-.'M are built 'roomy, substan tial .Hid have all modern convenienc es. It is the aim to make a com fortable existence for those who are largely Instrumental In making a comfortable income for the company. The plani at l.aVe-ide has b en in operation about thirty days and its outpue, like all the rest, is beyond its resources. At Kllsworth we are only in the formative period. Pr. A. G. Emer son, whose lakes test the highest of any throughout this district, is now forming a company that expects to begin erection of a new plant in the spring. Louis Cooper, whose lakes south of town have passed a test of high commercial value, is alfeo in the field with building In view. While many other good tests have been made and as many lakes still are un investigated, there is sufficient on the surface of present activities to war rant the establishment of one and perhaps two plants here the coming spring and summer. Nebraska's IliK Output With a plant In course of erection at Oshkosh, nouth here, In Garden county, and with those already In operation and those nearing comple tion, It is said by those In authority that Nebraska is now furnishing one eighth of the country's supply of pot ash and its by-products. With the improvements made In machinery in this district alone for the economic handling of the commodity in all Its graduations, together with the inex haustible supply that is more pro nounced in this field than In any other portion of the country, per manency for the Industry is assured without any question of doubt.

Adv. 3d wk 7780-37 l'ltl-tKNT WILSON ON THK COM.MIMTY FOUl .M The schoolhouse as the community forum was President Wilson's topic at the Park View school, Washing ton, on Lincoln's birthday, February 12. The Park View school is known as the first schoolhouse in the city of Washington designed and con structed for use as a community center. This school was also tho first in Washington to bo used for a community Thanksgiving celebra tion. ' The movement for increasing the use of public schoolhouues as com munity centers and forums of citiz enship has b(.-cn endorsed by Ex presidents Roosevelt and Taft, and has repeatedly received President Wilson's enthusiastic support. In 111, when he was governor of New Jersey, he gave the opening address at the First National Conference on Community Center Development held at Madison, Wis. On that oc casion he said: "It is necessary that a simple means be found by which, by an interchange of points of view,' we may get together, for the whole process of modern politics, the whole process of modern life, Is a process In which we must exclude misunder standings, exclude hostilities, bring all men into common council and so discover what it the common inter est. This is the problem of modern life." Pointing to the opportunity which the common schoolhouses of fer to answer this common need, the president said: "They are public buildings. They are conveniently distributed. They belong to the communities. They furnish ideal places in which to assemble and dis cuss public affairs. They are just what we need." According to Major J. B. Mcrwin, of Middlebury, Conn., President Lin coln addressed a community gather ing in a Washington public school house during his administration. So far as the records of the Washington Board of Education show, no presi dent since Lincoln has appeared un der precisely these friendly, charac teristically American, neighborhood auspices.
