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

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

Hero I a Model Town
At Lakeside we have the model
town. I lie Hold Potash and Prod

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.

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.
