Potash No tes
Cheering News from Washington
The telegram received Wednesday
by C. A. Newberry of Alliance, print
ed in full elsewhere In The Herald
this issue, brightens up to a certain
extent the potash Industry outlook.
It is to be expected that the plants
will not again start producing on a
large basis until they have disposed
of their stored stock of potash Baits
In the east. But with legislation en
acted to protect the Industry In this
country, there will be no excuse for
not using the Nebraska product,
which is the finest produced In the
Ijntted States or anywhere In the
world, for that matter.
The cotton growers of the south,
who are users of a large amount of
fertiliser containing potash, are "up
in the air" and have held off from
purchasing fertilizer on account of
the serious drop in the price of cot
ton since the close of the war. They
threaten, unless the price of cotton
is held up, to reduce the cotton acre
age for this year one-third or more.
As long as they are unsettled in their"
plans for farming this season, they
have of course refused to purchase
fertilizer in amounts of any size.
Berg Company Stockholders Inqulsl-
tlve
The Omaha World-Herald of Wed
nesday morning contained the fol
lowing Item regarding a meeting
held In Omaha by stockholders of
the William Berg Potash Company:
"Stockholders of the William Berg
company, $1,000,000 potash manu
facturing concern or Merrinian, wen.,
were holding a mass meeting at the
Castle hotel yesterday to elect offi
cers and to discuss the affairs of the
company. Arthur Bowerlng of Mer
riman. acting president, yesterday
told the stockholders there were
some creditors with claims against
the company, but that everything
wlff he stralehtened out "if we stick
to the ship." He said the by-pro
ducts of the plant alone would pay
for it. Nearly 200 stockholders were
present, and many held large mocks
nf nroTles."
The Omaha Dally Bee or Wednes
day morning contained the following
rerardlng the meeting:
The stockholders of the wuiiam
Berg Potash company, with Its exec
utive offices In Omaha and Its plant
at Merriman. Cherry county, iNeor.,
are conducting Investigation to de
termine what disposition has oeen
made of the company's funds. Two
hundred of the stockholders met yes
terday and will continue In session
today.
The William Berg Potash company
has a capital stock of $1,000,000 and
according to Matt Miller, David City,
most of the stockholders have paid In
full.
Regardless of this fact. Mr. Miller
contends that a large number of bills
are unpaid, that the credit of the
company is impaired, and that the
plant is not producing to any extent
and that the machinery for exten
slons cannot be bought unless accom
panied by cash.
The 200 -stockholders represent
5.452 holders. The meeting was held
In the ball room of the Hotel Castle
and for a time was open to the pul-
11c. Then speakers commenced mak
ing charges and counter-charges and
by unanimous vote It was decided
that all persons other than stock
holders and those holding proxies be
ejected.
Chemist Wlnthrop went Into an
exhaustive report relative to the pot
ash bearing Baits of the lakes around
Merriman and Ell In Cherry, owned
and controlled by the company. He
told them that the waters of Haw
thorn, Carson and Steer lakes carry
25 to 35 per cent of potash salts, that
the stratum is 13 feet thick and that
with the pumping facilities with the
proper machinery for separating the
potash and by-products the plant
should be making $4,735.60 a day
for the stockholders.
Attorney Matt Miller of David
City, however, stirred up things by
remarking that, "like the other men
and women here, I am a stockholder
and am entitled to know the facts
The report of the chemist Is fine, hut
It does not bring the results. We
want to know why, after we have
been paying In our money, all debts
have not been paid, and why we are
unable to buy machinery to carry on
the work at the Merriman plant.
"We are more deeply interested in
results than a discussion of potash
and by-products."
The chairman of the meeting said
some time aeo be ordered an Inves
tigation of the affairs of the com
pany. The books, he said, had been
taken and turned over to an expert
accountant. This man, he said, was
ready to make his report. It was at
this point that someone suggested
there might be present persons other
than stockholders of the company
and they were requested to leave the
room.
The report of the accountant wrs
submitted last night, but will not be
acted upon until at a meeting that
will be held today.
In connection with the financial
affairs of the Berg company none of
the stockholders openly charge
misappropriation of funds, yet they
contend that, nl their opinion, they
were not expended to further the
best Interests of the company. It
was stated last night that today th
company's financial statement would
be made public, the same showing
where the money paid Into the treas
ury went and for what purposes It
, was spent.
CHIEF ENGINEER
ALMOST GIVES UP
"To my mind Tanlac Is the great
est medicine In the world," said O.
H. Mahaffey, chief engineer of the
rife & Casualty building, Nashville,
Tenn.
"For two years," he continued, "I
suffered awfully with the worst kind
of stomach trouble and went down
until I lost forty-eight pounds. My
back ached terribly and I suffered so
much misery from indigestion that I
thought I had an ulcerated stomach
and was actually afraid to eat any
thing but a little oatmeal and sweet
milk. I got weaker every day till
finally, as nothing I took did me any
good, I thought I would Just have to
throw up my Job.
"My wife read In the papers where
a man who had suffered like I was
had been helped by taking Tanlac,
and she begged me to try It. After
I had taken Tanlac a few days I be
gan to get hungry and started In eat
ing like I was starved, and nothing
hurt me a bit. Soon those awful
pains in my stomach and back were
gone, I sleep fine at night now and
get up in the morning full of life and
energy and ready for my work."
Tanlac is sold In Alliance by F. E.
ifolsten and In Hemlngford by Olds
Drug Co.
"Military Ignorance Is bound to
show Itself," said a representative in
criticism of the German offensive.
All Ignorance shows Itself," for that
matter."
"I heard a lady talking to a mis
sionary the other day about a Turk.
" 'Did the scoundrel wear a fexr
the missionary asked.
" 'No,' said the lady, he was clean
shaved.' " Detroit Free Tress.
Tells How to Control Smuts
The United States "Department of
Agriculture has put into circulation
a free bulletin on disinfecting grains
to kill imu'.i. It Is farmers' bulle
tin 939, entitled, "Cereal Smuts and
the Disinfection of Seed Garln." The
bulletin contains up-to-date infor
mation for practical use In rontrol
tng cereal smuts by meant of the
most approved methods for the dis
infection of seed grains. Corn,
wheat, rye, barley, oats, sorghum
and millet smuts are described and
illustrated with photographs. The
bulletin may be obtained from coun
ty agents or from the Extension
Service, University Farm, Lincoln.
A man's reasons for giving or re
fusing his votes are often subtle, as
candidates are likely to discover.
Take the authentic case, at a far
mer election of a county squire who
solicited the support of a notorious
preacher whom he had once sent to
prison. The man refused. "But that
little poaching affair was years ago,"
urged the magistrate candidate, "let
bygones be bygones."
"It Isn't because you sent me to
Jail," replied the man. "but the rea
son for which you did lt.v You said
it was a rabbit I shot, and U was a
hare. The man who don't know the
difference between a rabbit and a
hare ain't fit to sit In Parliament."

Various kinds of farming in different parts of Ne

Potash industry, temporaril y"lialtcd but with a big
future, with proper protection.
Possibilities of production a wonderful theme.
Instance: Without diminishing the amount of
corn, wheat, oats, barley and rye now grown or
the number of hogs and cattle raised, the west
end of the state could produce enough sugar
and potatoes to feed the entire United States on
these two staple foods.
Cities and towns the live ones who the people
are, what they are doing, etc.
State school lands, a subject worse neglected than
any other of equal interest to the people of the
state as a whole.
No other paper like it. The Special Semi-monthly

all its own, by launching out on a new project
after several years of preliminary preparation.
