KINKA1D URGES
CONGRESS HELP
POTASH OWNERS
Says Protection to Nebraska
Industry Essential to
Prevent Monopoly -by
Germany.
By E. C. SNYDER.
( Washington Corriondrnt Omaha Bee.)
Washington, Sept. 22. (Special
Telegram.) "Uncle Mose" Kinkaid,
whose district, the big Sixth in Ne
braska, contains the largest deposits
of potash in the country so far de
veloped, and the output of whose fac
tories amounted to nearly 75 per cent
of the domestic potash produced
during the war, today took the house
of representatives to his home state
and showed in a carefully prepared
speech what this infant industry
means to the United States if prop
erly protected. Close attention was
given Judge Kinkaid throughout the
presentation of the claims of the
potash producers tQ consideration at
the hands of the ways and means
committee.
He told the house how it came
about that Nebraska became one of
the leading potash producing states
and how the appeal of the heads of
departments, the war trade board,
the director of the bureau of mines,
the director of the bureau of soils
and other officials to produce potash
met with response from the pioneer
potash producers in Nebraska and
how California, Utah, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Georgia and other
states responded to the cry for
potash production, to offset the loss
of the German article, in order that
a famine of potassium salt, useful
in peace and essential in war might
be averted.
Quotes Potash Head.
Quoting VV. E. Sharp, president of
one of the largest potash companies
in the country, Judge Kinkaid said:
Upwards of 6,000 of Nebraska citi
zens poured in their money to hasten
quantity production of potash. Great
hordes of men worked feverishly
day and night to erect mammoth
plants and thereafter to operate
them.
"Of the $50,000,000 invested in the
potash industry in America upwards
of $15,000,000 has been invested in
plants and the development of the
industry in the sandhills of western
Nebraska," said Judge Kinkaid. "In
Nebraska there are nine large plants
and from 15 to 20 smaller plants.
These plants have 200 miles of
eight and six-inch pipeline ' with
wells connected up. The larger
plants cost all the wav from $600,000
to $1,500,000 each and the 16 small
er plants all the way from $15,000
tO( $20,000, up to $100,000.
"So far the Nebraska plants have
yielded the largest potash produc
tion and now have a capacity of
more than 100,000 tons of pure pot
ash a year, with a, number of addi
tional large plants partly built when
the armistice was1 signed. For the
past six months of 1918 the Ne
braska lakes yielded 43,219 tons of
potash salts, equivalent to 10,232
tons of actual potash, which shows
progressive and rapid development,"
said Mr. Kinkaid in closing his ad
dress, which is by far the most com
plete presentation of the potash
question made in this or any other
congress.
Government Should Help.
Judge Kinkaid maintained that the
government is morally obligated to
safeguard this infant domestic pot
ash industry "developed and ad--vanced
pursuant to the appeals
made and the inducements held out
by the administration so that we
might win the war." The alterna
tives are on the one hand, adequate
restrictions upon importations from
Germany," said "Uncle Mose", "to
permit of the development of the in
dustry, in America, or on the other,
that we permit German to re-establish
and enjoy a perpetual potash
monopoly in the United States.
Shall we have potash made in Ger
many or potash made in America?
Shall we stand for the welfare of
America or for the greater pros
perity of Germany at the sacrifice of
American potash producers and
American labor? Shall we be for
America or for Germany? For
American industrial independence or
for slavery to Germany?"
My HEART and
My HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations
of a Wife
How Madge Held Steadfastly to
Faith and Hope.
If I had not known little Mrs.
Durkee so thoroughly, I perhaps
should not have been so composed
at the thrust she had given me con
cerning Dicky's visits to the Fairfax
apartment But I have become very
well acquainted with my small
friend's propensity for exaggeration,
so at her remark I simply smiled at
her teasingly, and held up an ad
monishing forefinger. .
"Now 'fess up!" I said sternly.
"On your honor nowl Did Alfred
say specifically that he' had seen a
lot of Dicky over at the Fairfaxes?"
She squirmed in her chair as an
uneasy kitten might have done.
"He said he'd seen a Tot of Dicky,"
she declared defiantly. "And if that
doesn't mean over at the Fairfaxes,
I don't know what does, for from
the things Alfred lets drop I know
Alf's there more than half his time."
I laughed and blew her a kiss.
"You little fraud!" I said good
naturedly. "If the boys could hear
you they would declare your imag
ination is working overtime again."
She pouted resentfully, even as
her pretty laugh bubbled from her
lips. It is a tense and tragic mo
ment indeed for little Mrs. Durkee
when she cannot greet everything
with a laugh.
"I don't understand you at all,
Madge," she asserted. "If Dicky
were my husband and staying down
town for a month or two, and gal
livanting around with a pretty girl,
I'd I'd santch him bald-headed!"
"No, you wouldn't," I returned,
composedly, snipping a thread from
a pair of pink "creepers" I was mak
ing for my small son, who, in a
"walking chair" a cleverly con
structed framework on wheels which
allows baby to stretch his limbs anf
go through the movements of walk
ing without bearing his whole
weight upon his immature muscles
was ambling all over the screened
veranda. "You'd be a sensible lady,
as I am, and realize that when there
is an unusual stress of work on
hand a man has to stay in the city,
and you wouldn't object to his call
ing on his friends or even taking
them out to dinner or the theater."
It co.st me an effort to say this
calmly and pleasantly. First, be
cause, dear friend as little Mrs.
Durkee us, I inwardly resented her
strictures upon my affairs. And
second, because I was by no means
as complacent over the news she
had brought me as I outwardly ap
peared. t
Not that I ever again could be
really jealous of Edith Fairfax.
That she still hopelessly loved
Dicky I was sure, although her war
work had given her other interests,
and had broadened her horizon so
that she would never again be as
unhappy over him as she had been.
But during the time following
Dicky's airplane accident, vision had
been given me to see many things,
and among them was the glorious
truth that despite all his( volatile
unstableness my husband's heart
was supremely mine.
I was not idiotic enough to be
lieve, that I never would face the
danger of losing him, but I knew
that his fancy would never-be en
meshed by a girl of Edith Fair
fax's gentle, rather colorless nature.
The rare beauty, the imperious
ways, the touch of diablerie of the
Grace Draper type of girl would
always spell danger, at least tem
porarily for me. But our marital
love had weathered one such test,
and I resolutely shut my eyes to
the possibility of another. And as
for idle; graceful attentions from
Dicky to his studio friends, I had
long since made up my mind that
I would waste neither time nor
emotion in needless thought over
them.
But it is one thing to resolve, an
other to carry out that resolve, not
only in the letter, but in the spirit.
So, while I was able to keep my face
composed, my hands from trem
bling, yet any wife will understand
that my brain did not exactly enjoy
the pictures which little Mrs. Dur
kee's words had flashed upon it. In
consistently, selfishly also, I must
admit, I would rather have visual-

pictured , him making a joyous
fourth in the outing of Alfred
Dilrkee and the Fairfax girls.
And, despite my outward com
posure, little Mrs. Durkee was
shrewd enough to read my
thoughts.
"You're a good talker, Madge,"
she said calmly, putting out a
steadying hand toward Junior, who
was doing his best to overturn the
walking chair, "but you can't bluff
me. You're no more pleased to
hear of Dick rushing a girl around
to places than any other woman
would be, but I suppose you'd be
chewed up in little pieces before
you'd admit it.
"How this youngster does growl
He must be nearly a year old, isn't
he?"
"He'll have his first birthday next
Sunday," I said proudly.
"Bless my soul," my little friend
exclaimed excitedly. "I didn't know
it was that near."
She snatched Junior from his
walking chair and began to coo over
him in her delightful fashion.
"Bless his heart, if his Auntie
Durkee didn't almost forget dis boo
ful baby's birthday. Never mind,
he shall have somefing pretty, so
he shall." She interrupted herself
to look up at me shrewdly:
"You ought to have a party for
him," she said. "Of course, Dicky
will be home for Sunday?"
"Of course," I said confidently,
steadfastly crushing down any sem
blance of doubt.

Drive for $175,000 In
Omaha For Jewish
Relief Comes to End
The drive for $175,000 in Omaha
for the relief of Jewish war suffer

Only a little more than half this
sum has been received, but the
committee and the workers believe
that the rest of the quota will be
secured by quiet, steady work. And
while the public drive is ended with
today, the work will go along until
the whole sum has been received,
say the leaders.
Many of the workers have not yet
reported, but George Brandeis, the
treasurer of the fund, says indications-are
that the total will not ex
ceed $9S,000.
"We expect to get the whole sum
before we are through," said Wil

while generous people have given
much, still more must be given."
