The article from the Jour nal reads as follows: 11. K. Sidles and Charles Stuart are back from a visit to the potash fields and the center of that industry in Sheridan county. They are inter ested in the Western Potash com pany, recently formed by W. E Sharp of Lincoln, and think so well of it that Mr. Btuart will return as assistant to Mr. Sharp in the build ing operations that are to be begun at once. Mr. Sharp, who accompa nied them, went to Denver to place orders for boilers and other machin ery. In company with a Mr. Wedge, head chemist for the Standard Oil company, they traveled over the po tash fieldr. north of Antioch and Hoffland and verified the tests of a number of the lakes. They also vis isted tle potash plants at both towns, and watched the pumping of the brine into the plants, its PYapO ra tion, the extraction of the potash and its sacking and shipment. They brought back samples of the brine, the pebbled potash and also the snow-like flftkM that can be picked up the shores of the lakes. "We were simply astonished at the based on present prices and the won derful financial results that are be ing achieved there.

"I'm sure I've done my best and tried 'ard to make it 'omelike," was the reply. "I've took up the parlor carpet, sprinkled sawdust on the floor and put a barrel of beer in the corner.

Make sure there is no waste in preparation, in serving, and in use as a left-over," this is one of j the messages to Nebraska women in "Well-Planned Meals." a bulletin Just issued by the Agricultural Ex ! tension Service of the University of Nebraska.

The output of one of these companies he day we visited their plant was valued at $10,000. The other oper- itlni companies are apparently do ing as well. "The great need of potash bas ln- luced the government to give pre ference orders for the necissary coal, whirh is brought in from Wyo ming, and for the cars necessary to carry out the product. It is also giv ing the same encouragement to the companies that arecabout to build there. At present there are two plains in operation at Antioch, with a third one already pumping into its reservoir, in order o have a supply on hand if freezing weather inter feres. The western plant will be built at Antioch also. There are two other companies, the Standard and the National, one of which will build at Antioch and the other at Lakeside, where the Hords operate a plant now. In all about ten plants will be in operation next year, from present indications. There is also the original one at Hoffland. "Out in the country is a man who owns a lake and who has invested $.r.,000 in a small plant. He gathers his potash, puts it through the su per-heating process of evaporation by building fires under pans and when he gets a load takes it to town and sells It. With the exception of the Hoffland company, which has a filing on Jesse lake, out of which it has pumped something like four mil lions of potash, and the Western, which has bought its lake outright, with one exception, all the others have leases on lake on a royalty basis. Lands that were good only for cattle raising and of low value but which have potash lakes on them are making their owners rich. "One thing that struck us was the lack of economy In the operation of the plants, due, of course, to the fact. that the profit is so big that cost doesn't interest the owners, who are oo busy to think up efficiency meth ods. The opinion of those who would talk about the proposition is that there are only two things to be afraid of in the industry. One is that thecoming of peace may loose German competition upon the coun try, and that means a big lowering in prices and possible closing up, and the other is that the government may fix the returns. There seems to be so much potash in sight and lo cated that the exhaustion of the sup ply does not seem to worry them any. 1 1 i E. G.

That was the first lntima- j turn the peopl eof this country had had that the kaiser and his military , advisers were lotting against the peace and welfare of this nation. Here is a bit of interesting history Which throws some light on the pur poses of Germany and which every loyal American ought to know. One of the representatives of the German navy and of the Gorman government, a guest of our government as mili tary observed for his own govern ment was Admiral von Goetz. I do not know he! her Admiral Von Goetz had too many drinks under his belt or why he was so indiscreet as to boast of what his government had in mind, but here is the official record of what he said in 1898: About fifteen years from now my country will start her great war. She will be in Paris about two months after the commence ment of hostilities. Her move on Paris will be but a step to her real object the crushing of Knglanrt Some months after we finish our 'work in Europe we wil take New York, and probably Washington, and hold them for some time. We will put your country In Its place, with reference to Ger many. "We do not propose to take any of your territory (?) but we do intend to take a bil lion or so of your dollars from j New York and other places. The Monroe Doctrine will be taken chargeof by us, as we will then have to put you in your place, and we will take chargo of South America, as far as we wish to Don't for get this, and about fifteen years j from now remember it and it will interest you. ' (Naval and Military Record, No. 33. Vol. 141, p. 578. I want you to observe that the foregoing Is not mere newspaper rumor. It is tbeofflctal record pro vided by Admiral Dewey. It may naturally be asked, why was this never made public by our govern ment? I do not know, but I presume that our government did not feel that it would be wise to quote the lan- uage of a German officer which might stir up trouble between this government and that of Germany. It may be, also, that at that time our government regarded the language as the mere empty boasting of a half drunken German officer and not worth serious attention. However, Admiral Dewey considered the lan guage of von Goeti of sufficient im portance to report it to our govern ment. Sead in the light of what we know now we can see that the German ad miral knew the plans of his govern ment nineteen years ago. He missed the time of starting the war by only one year. That is easily explained. In 1913 the kaiser was not satisfied that the opportune time had come and so he waited until 1914 when he deemed the time ripe. The assassi nation of the Austrian grand duke and heir apparent provided the pretext. liaise More Pig E'ghteen farmers and agricultural workers have received appointments as special workers in the pork cam paign which has Just been started In Nebraska. Each one of these repre sentatives will have a section of the state to look after. In case the number of breeding hogs is not increased this winter, an acute shortage of pork products is sure to result next spring. Ne braska's quota has been set at n 20 per cent increase over last year. With the government backing them, through emergency legislation as It never has before, farmers never have had greater assurance that their efforts would be Justly com pensated. The food administration has said that, until further notice, prices, so far as It can Influence them, will not go below the mini mum of about $15. HO a hundred, for the average of the packers' droves on the Chicago market. Furthermore. It has said as to hogs farrowed next spring: "We will try to stabilize the price so that the farmer can count on getting for each 100 pounds of hogs ready for market thirteen times the average cost per bushel of the corn fed into the hogs." Experience bus shown, specialists of the department of agriculture Bay, that this ratio of 13 to 1 is liberal, and that it should stimulate hog breeding now. The Nebraska College of Agriculture, with Increased forces, also stands ready to aid farmers In any way It can. Great Australia must be settled In Africa.
