one la victory. The other is defeat.
W had thought that Germany had
progressed with the nations in
moral, in spirit and spirituality. But
we were utterly, hopelessly wrong.
The pawing decades that had brought
to other nations a loftier ideal, a
higher purpose, have left Germany
convinced that might is right; that
decency is weakness; that forbear
ance is cowardice. Germany still be
lieves that the force of arms over
rides the forces of Christian righte
ousness. She still preaches that, if
you covet your neighbor's ox, it it
'just right to take it from him if you
can; and, if he objects, to kill him
for doing it.
Germany has always lusted, and
still lusts, for world dominion. She
wants to see but two classes of hu
man souls on this green footstool of
God; and those classes Germans and
slaves.
And so it must come about that,
if Germany be not beaten, then it
will come to pass that she will have
her way; if not in one year, in ten;
if not in ten, in fifty; if not in fifty
in a hundred. Some day she will
have her way.
It is not yet sixty years ago that
Abrahah Lincoln said that the na

It is now for us, who love his mem

manhood, to cry out: "This world
may not exist half civilized and. half 1
German."

Germany has designed the new
submarines to be superior to destroy
ers, and has accordingly equipped
them with six-inch guns. Whereas
the present destroyers are armed
with only the four-inch guns. It
was said that the allied admiralltles
have known for more than three
months of the actual construction of
these super-submarines, which It Is
believed, follow on general llneB the
construction of the commercial U
boat. A. C. Davis, of Mitchell, contrib
utes the following poem prior to the
departure of the young men leaving
for camp last Friday evening:
THE VOLUNTEER'S FAREWELL
Good-bye to Alliance, so long to all
our kin,
There are only ten of us, but all
good men.
We are volunteers, enlisted with a
free will,
Some day we are coming back with
the scalp of Kaiser Bill.
You folks at home buy more Liberty
bonds,
And eat more war bread.
We are going to fight until the Ger
mans are whipped,
And the derned old kaiser is dead.
And bid farewell to old Berlin.

agony to the laBt pang.
It is time for us of America to real
ize these things and moreover, to
know that he who, until the victory
be won. talks peace, talks treason;
he who shows weakness shows cow

The editor of the Popular Science
Monthly, published at 225 West Thirty-ninth
street, New York City, re
plies to a letter written to him by The
Herald criticizing his recent article
on potash. In a way that shows that
he is very, very poorly posted on the
potash situation. His name has a de
cided foreign accent, which may In
part account for his prejudice against
the potash Industry in the United
States, n
The Herald, recently wrote this gen
tleman after seeing an article in his
magazine which spoke In very slight
ing terms of the potash Industry In
the United States. If this editor
would take a trip along the Burling
ton from Alliance, going only a dis
tance of thirty mileB, he would see
more potash produced than he doubt
less imagines can be found in this
country'. It certainly is a sight for
sore eyes to see the big plants oper
ating and to see the ceaseless work
on the erection of additional plants.
And a fact which miglit Impress
this editor, if he took the time to in
vestigate, is that no potash lake in
the entire district has been drained
dry of Its potash content. Some lakes,
after being pumped from heavily, get
weaker brine, but a short rest for the
lake or portion of the lake, brings it
back again to good brine and not a
Bingle lake in the entire potash dis
trict has been drained entirely of its
potash deposits. This is In Bpite of
the fact that millions of tons of wa
ter are pumped through the reduction
plants every few months. Most of the
! plants reduce at least a thousand
tons of water per day of twenty-four
hours. This means at least 365,000
tons of water per year per plant.
There are now five big pi. nits in op-!
eration. Five large and several small
plants are now in the course of con
struction and several more are ex
pected to start this summer.
keeps this I rMf cit of fucIi sn
Investment is the fear, nt that
we won't have potash from
Stassfurt as heretofore, but that
we will have too much and that
the German producers will be so i
glad to get Yankee U Ilnrs to
pay their war debts, that they
will offer us potash on the same
old forty dollar basis."
"This. It seems to me, puts the
whole matter In a nutshell. But the
American Investor most) be Insured
Ckaist the dumping of Cermnn pot-!
ash salts Into this country St prices
too low for us to reach. It Is quite:
sure that neither Nebraska nor Call-1
fornla can compete with Stassfurt
potash In price.
"In 1914 we were using about
three hundred thousand tons of mu
riate basis. The Amerlcnn demand
for potashs of all sorts was rapidly
Increasing, and If there had been no
war and no Interference with com
merce, our requirements for 1917
would have been fully five hundred
thousand tons. In 1917 the latest
year for which the statistics of Amer
ican production are available, we
scratched up from all sources In the
United States between elg' t thousand
and nine thousand tons. In 1917
those who have been watching the
situation closely believe that we may
have produced from all sources, the
equivalent of fifteen thousand to sev
enteen thousand tons. This Is a mere
guess because until the government
figures are published, It Is impossible
to tell just what we did produce.
"It is certain that our country has
been very thoroughly explored, both
by private enterprise and by the gov
ernment, in the hope of discovering a
real potash supply. That hope has
not been realized as yet, and our out
put of potash in America today de
pends upon garnering and gleaning
here and there wherever we can, such
small amountB of potash as offer
themselveB."

WORK WEARS ON THE KIDNEYS
Doaii'h Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work
in Alliance
Many Alliance people work every
day in some strained, unnatural posi
tion bending constantly over a desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious housework; lifting,
reaching or pulling or trying the back
in a hundred and one other wayB. All
these strains tend, to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in .hHr work of filtering the
poisons from -he blood. Doan's Kid
nev Pills are for weak kidneys and
bad backs. Their effective work in
i Alliance is convincing proof of
merit.

Rates for telephone service should be based upon the
cost of materials mad labor and the kind of service fur
nished. Wages paid telephone employees hi this country art
practically double those paid in Europe for the same kind
of work.
Telephone materials also ooet a freat deal more fat
America than abroad and the grade of telephone service
furnished here is far superior as everyone who has trav
eled in Europe knows.
Thus, the same materials could be purchased, the
same amount of labor employed and service, such as is
provided, could be furnished for less money in Europe
than in America.
When the oost of operating' is twice as muoh in Amer
ica as in Europe, telephone rates in Europe, to be pro
portionately equal, should be only a dollar for service
costing $2.00 in America, and a long distance call costing
$1.00 here should only oost 50 cents in Europe.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or j
when it fades, turns pray, dull and life
less, is caused by a Isck of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thouiandl of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
pliade of hnir which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other ingredi
ents by asking at any drug itore for a 50
eent bottle of "Wyeth's Sagr and Sul
phur Compound," which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, ia that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after a few
applications, It also bring, back the glow
and lustre aod give, it an appearance
of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and a youthful appearance to the
hair. It i. not intended for the curs,
mitigation or prevention of disease.
