STATE'S POTASH
YIELD IN 1918
IS 25,000 TONS
Boom Days Over, Says Arthur
Thomas After Inspecting '
Fields; Now Stable
Business.,
Nebraska's production of potash
in, 1918 will be 100,000 tons of pot
aslv salt, or 25,000 tots of pure
potash, worth $11,250,000, according
to an estimate by Arthur Thomas,
manager of the bureau of publicity,
after a tour of inspection of ythe
potasb field.
Nebraska will furnish about 50
per cent of the potash produced in
the United States this year.
Nebraska 'potash is -being sold at
f 12.50 per ton of potash salts, or
$450. per ton pure potash. About
one-naif of the 1918 output is still
in storage. .
The fertilizer companies stopped
buying Nebraska potash when, the
armistice was signed, hoping to get
the cheaper potash from Germany
The recent action of the war board
in prohibiting importation from
Germany until after the treaty of
peace is signed, will make it nec
essary for the fertilizer companies
to buy up the Nebraska product in
order to make the fertilizer which
will have to be ready for, delivery
to the cotton growers in March and
April. 1919.
"The boom days of potashy are
over," says Mr. Thomas. "The in
dustry will be placed on a stable
money making basis or it will cease.
American business men have had
harder problems to solve and have
reen successful."

Omaha Man Writes to
Sister on Same Day He
Is Killed in France
Mrs. M. Barry, 5128 South Twenty-second
street; has received a
telegram telling her that her brother,
Rudolph Demi, was killed in action
October 24. -
It is rather an interesting bit of
news to know that on the same day
he was killed, he wrote a letter to
his sister telling her of the battle
that was raging about him and tell
ing her that a number of enemjcZep
pelins were flying over him as he
was writing. He also told of seeing
two machines shot down and as they
fell in flames the pilot and gunners
jumped from the falling machines in
parachutes.
The letter did not state anything
whereby it could be known in what
part of France he was located, but
stated that it was the third big bat
tle he had participated in.
Besides Mrs. Barry, Private Demi
leaves two other sisters, Mrs. L.
Jorgensen, Twenty-seventh and
Drexel street, and Miss Goldie
Demi, who resides at 5124 South
Twenty-second street. There are
also two brothers, John, who lives
in South Dakota, and, Joe, who re
sides at Forty-second and L streets,

As to western land generally, both
Messrs. Howard and Smith are of

CHAPTER XXVIII.
Blackburn's Queer Story
Blackburn's voice resumed its
throaty monotone. As he spoke '. ;
glanced about shyly, suspecting, per
haps, the watchfulness of the fancies
that had intimidated him.
I i realized i nan to get out it
i they would let me. So I left the
bed. I went.
He ceased, intimating that h had
i-l , - ii.:
luia cvciy uiiug. '
"I know," Robinson said, "but tell
us how you got out of the, room, for
when you when the murder was
discovered, both doors were locked
on the inside, and you know bow im
possible, the windows are.
"i'tell you," Katherine said hys
terically, it was his body in thfi
bed."
Bobby knew her assurance was
justified, but he motioned her to si
lence. "Let him answer," Robinson said.
Silas Blackburn ran his knotted
fingers through his hair. He shook
his head doubtfully.
"That's what I don't ' understand
myself. That's what's bfen worry
ing me while these young onesJiave
been talk ign as if I were dead and
buried. I recollect telling myself I
must go. fseem to remember leav
ing the bed all right, but I don't
seem to remember walking on the
floor or going through the door.
You'rd -sure the doors were locked?"
x "No 'doubt about thttt," Rawlins
said.
"Seems to me," Blackburn went
I on, "that I was in the private stair
l case, but did I walk downstairs?
J rirst thing I see clearly is the r.ad
I through the woods, not far from the
I station." '
Wnat aid you wearr Kobinson
asked.
"I'd had my trousers and jacket on
under my dressing-gown," the old
man answered, "because I knew the
bed wasn't made up. That's what I
wore except for the dressing-gown.
I reckon I must have left that 'n
the room. I wouldn't have gone
back there for anything. My mind
was full of those angry people. I
wante dto get as far away from the
Cedars as possible. I knew the last
train from New York would be
along about three o'clock, so I
thought I'd go on into Smithtown
and in the morning see this detective
I'd been talking to. le wtnt to
Robert' Water's house. I've known
him for a long time. I guess you
know who he is. He's such a book
worm I figured he might be up, and
he wouldn't ask a Jot of silly ques
tions, being selfish like most people
that live all the time with books. He
came to the door, and I told him I
wanted to spend the night. He of
fered to shake hands. That's funny,
too. I didn't ' feel like shaking
hands with anybody. I recollect
thaft, because I'd felt sort of queer
even since going in the old room, and
something told me I'd better not
shake hands."
Paredes looked up, wide-eyed.
The cards slipped from his fragile,
pointed fingers.
"Do you realize, Mr. District At
torney, what this man is saying?"
But Robinson motiotledhim to si
lence. "Let him gon on. What happened
then?"
"That's all," Blackburn answered,
"ex.ept this long sleep X qan't make
out. Old Wraters didn't get mad at
my not shaking hands. He was too
tied up in some book, I guess. I told
him I was sleepy art J didn't want to
be bothered, and he nodded t- the
spare room off the main hall, and I
tumbled into bed and was off almost
before I knew it."
Paredes sprang to kjj feet and
commenced to walk abont the hall.
"Tell us," he said, "when you first
woke up?"
"X guess it was late the next af
trenoon," Silas Blackburn quav
ered, fumbling with his pipe again.
"But it was only for a minute."
Paredes, stopped in front of Rob
inson. "When he turned! You 'see!"
"It was Waters knocking on the
door," Blackburn went on. "I guess
he wanted to know what was the
matter, and he talked about some
food, but I didn't want to be both
ered, so I called to him through the
door to go. away, and turned over
and went to sleep again."
"He turned over and went to
sleep again!" Katherine said breath
lessly, "and it was about that time
that I heard the turning in the old
bedroom." ,
"Katherine!" Graham called.
"What are you talking about? What
are you thinking about?"
"What else is there?' 'she asked.
"She's thinking about the truth,"
Paredes said tensely. "I've always
heard of such things. So have you.
You've read of them, if you read at
all. India is full of it. It goes back
to ancient Egypt the same person
simultaneously in two places the
astral body whatever you choose to
call it. "It's the projection of one's
self whether consciously or un
consciously; perhaps the projection
lot something that retains reason at'
ttr an appareht death. ,You heard
him. He didn't seem to walk. He
doesn't remember leaving the room,
wh'ch was locked on the inside. His
descent of the stairs was without
motion as we know it. He had gone
some distance before his mind con
sciously directed the movement of
this active image of Silas Blackburn.
while the double from which it had
sprung lay apparently dead in the
old room. You notice he shrank
fiom shaking hands, and he slept
until we hid away the shell. What
disintegration and coming together
again has take nplace since we bur
ed that shell in the old graveyard?
It his tnend had shaken hands with
him would he have grasped empti
ness? Did his normal self come
back to him when the shell was put
from our sight ,and he awakened?
These are some of the questions we
must answer''
"You've a fine imagination, Mr.
Paredes," Robinson said dryly.
His fat face, rtevcrthclyss, was be
wildered, and in the eyes, surround
ed by puffy flesh, smouldered a pro
found uncertainty.
"I wish Groom were here," Par
edes was saying. "He would agree
with me. He- would know more
about it tharrjl."
Robinson threw back his should
ers, lie turned to Rawlins with his
old authority. Ttte unimaginative de
tective had stood throughout, releas
ing no indication of his emotions;
but as he raised his hand now to an
unnecessary adjustment of his scarf

"Telephone this man Waters,"
Robinson directed. "Then get in
communication with the office and
put them on that end."
Rawlins walked away. Robinson
apologized to Silas Blackburn with
an uneasy voice.
"Got to check up what I can. Can't
get anywhere with these things un
less you make sure of your first
facts. I daresay Waters' story will
tally with yours."
Blackburn nodded. Graham
cleared his throat.
"Now perhaps we may ask that
ver yimportant question. The day
Mrfl Blacburn called at your office
in Smithtown he told Howells he
was afraid of being murdered. Ac
cording to Howells, he said: 'My
heart's all right. It won't stop yet
awhile unless it's made to. So if
I'm found cold some fine morning
you can be sure I was put out of the
way."
"I know," Robinson said.
"And that night," Graham contin
ued, "when he went to the old
room, he was terrified of something
which he wouldn't define for Miss
Perrine."
"He warned me not V mention
he'd gone there," Katherine- put in.
"He told me he was afraid afraid
to sleep in his own room any long
er. Robinson turned.
"What about that, Mr. Black
burn?" For a moment Bobby's curiosity
overcame the confusion aroused by i
his grandfather's apparently occult
return. All along they had craved i
the knowledge he was about to give
them, the statement on which Bob
by's life had seemed ..to depend, j
Blackburn, however, was willing, j
turned to him something of his nor
man mafiner.
"No use," he m;:mbled, "going in
to that."
,"A good deal of use," Robinson
insisted.
Blackburn shifted his" feet. He
gazed at his pipe doubtfully. '
"I don't see- why. That didn't
come, and seems it wasn't what I
ought to have been afraid of aftw
all. All along I ousht to havebeen
afraid only of.the Cedars and the old
room. I've been accused of being
unjust. I don't want to do .n in
justice, now."
"Please answer," Blackburn sad
impatietitly.
"You must answer," Graham
urged.
"I don't see that it makes the
slightest difference," Paredes
drawled. "What has it got to do
With the case as it stands tonight?"
Robinson snapped at him.
"You keep out of it. Don't forget
there's a lot you haven't answered
yet."
Silas Blackburn looked straight at
Bobby. Slowly he raised his hand.
pointing an accusing finger at his
grandson.
"If you want to know, I was afraid
o' that young rascal."

The chaplain at Fort Omaha,
Lieut. Wm. L. Sanders, has asked
Omaha to open its generous heart
once again, in a Christmas remem
brance to the boys at the fort.
Through frank E. Mayer, executive
seccretary of the OnTaha Church
federation, the request has been
made for 1,500 packages, to be ready
for delivery Christmas morning.
Mr. Mayer is taking the matter up
with the various churches and is
asking each to provide a certain
number of the packages. He" is
finding a ready response, and the
indications are that every one of
the lads at the fort will have a me
mento of Omaha on the day of days.
It is not the purpose to make the
parcels elaborate. A tube of tooth
paste, shaving soap, or any othy
useful man's toilet article, with some
good, home-made cookies or candy,
and a Christmas greeting, bearing
the love of the sender to the lad to
whom it maycome is all that is re
quired. Chaplain Sanders knows the men
and because he understands how
much it will mean to them he has
made the request to Mr. Mayer.
That it will meet a generous re

Telephone Preparedness Met the War Emergency
The Bell Telephone System during the past year has doubled
its usual expenditure for new construction, in order to provide war
time facilities for governmentnd private use.
Telephone extensions costing millions of dollars have , been
made in a year, in spite of the high cost of construction.
The demand for additional telephone equipment has been due
to private business increased by the war, and the demand for
telephone equipment at training camps, army supply depots and
for other military activities.
The increased demands for telephone service could not have
been met had not the telephone companies planned and built ahead,
and then continued their construction under high pressure regard
less of the advanced cost of equipment and labor scarcity.
