(By Mail)— o German “Kalisyndikat”—the government direc- tion supervising Germany’s vast pot- .ash business—has been trying dic- tatorial methods on American busi- ness pecple. «:-The-result is that American busi- ness is practically saying to the Kali- -syndikat, “Go-hang; we’'ll develop. most of our own potash.” And, American potash buyers are -guiting their actions to their woyds. Consequently, the outlook ‘at present *ig that the American market will not $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 worth of German potash a year, as against five to ten times as much were the syndicate in a concili- -atory mood. ‘The ‘clash between American con- sumers and German producers dates ‘biek to the period before. the Kapp «coup; The American buyers had con- tracted for a vast guantity of pot- ash——understood to be around $40,- 000,000 worth. © Then came Kapp and upset the industry and the gov- «ernmernt, ‘Subsequently, the workers in the potash -fields held that they wanted more money, making the ful- fillment - of contract at the original prigg/ impossible. Since then, negotiations have been fhder way toward arrangement of o new contract. But, the ‘Americans have found that the syndicate itself was¢inclined to ‘be: dictatorial, . In ‘faot, “one of the interested -parties told the wriier: “Many of the men in'the syndi- .cate are kaiser appointees. And, I _can tell you that -the kaiser himself. *in his palmiest days was never more dfetatorial than those men in thesyn- dicate. As a result of their their at- titude, America is turning her efforts tpthe development of her own potash resources. Sources on which work was halted directly after the war are again starting up, especially since consumers have guaranteed a. mini- mum price of $2 a unit for the next This relieves us of the German domination, and makes it possible to take a'much;smaller quan- tity than would have 6therwise been ‘the case. They thcught they had us on the hip, bitt that is:not the case.” Potash is one of the vital products in.fertilization. Germany has hither- to had a grip on the world’s market, but -the stimulus given the American industry by the arbitrary position of the syndicate is loosening that grip. | EQUIPPED TO RULE OCEAN Monster ~That Lived 100,000 Years Ago Must Have Been a Terror to Other Fishes. I the' National museum at ‘Washs ington’ 15 exhibited the skeleton of a _zeuglodon—a monster which in .life was seventy feet long and which must have been ruler of the seas during a bygone epoch. There is good reason to believe that this alarming creature dates back fewer than 100,000 years, says a bulletin. : With an enormously long tail and powerful swimming paddles, the zeu- glodon must have been able to swim at the speed of an express train, and 1ts great alligatorlike head was armed ‘with huge carnivorous teeth. It was manifestly a ferocious and predatory brute and presumably fed on fishes and porpoise. The head was four feet long and In the front part of each jaw were eight teeth for selz- ing and tearing, which were supple- mented by a series of saw_edged, cat- ting teeth at the back. The zeuglodons were mammals, re- ted to modern Whales! - They- must J{ their time have been very numerous, jiNging from the quantities of their: bones dug up in Mississippl and Ala- bama, where in places there .are so many as to interfere with plowing. Farm walls are bullt of them. Apparently the; ' creatures, which are denizens of warm seas, died and werg washéd up into shallow waters that afterward became dry land. Drifting sands covered: their bones, preserving the latter ‘to;some extent. i Their teeth (loose in tlie” jaws like those of alligators) are found scat- tered about in the neighborhood of thé bones. ! BEFORE WHITE MAN’S COMING Eight Groups of Indians Divided the Land Which We Now Know as - - "North America ! The North American Indians were divided into seven or eight -great groups, according -to -their .various {anguages. . The Algonquins made up the largest' family, comprising the eastern. tribes of Canada . jand . the United States south of Hudson bay, east of the Mississippi river and south to Virginia and’ Teniiessée; including the Ofibwas, Ottawas, Crees, Algon- quins and ' Blackfeet. ~The Iroguols or Fivé:Nations of Cooper's stirring talé mhahl_tég! the east central states, incliging New York. West of them liveg/ the Dakotas or Sioux, from Cafffada to Arkansas and from the ssissipp! to the Rocky mountalns. 'he Muskokis or Appalachians occu- pled the southeastern states as far west as the Mississippl; while the ‘Shoshonis were at home in the region from Tesas to Montana and, .from California to Idaho. The Atliabascas. the Yumas, and the Pueblos occupled Alaska and Canada, Oregon and New Mexico respectively. 3 TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, Al Wilson .» the young aviator who has stolen Lieut. Ormer Lock- lear'’s thunder. He will be a fea~ ture of the Minnesota State Fair, Twin Cities, Sept. 4 to 11. Wilson, who saw Locklear climb from one plane to another by the means of a rope ladder, decided to go the plucky army officer one petter. So Wilson changes from plane to plane without a ladder. He sim- ply stands on the top wing of his plane and grips the lower wing of the machine ‘above as it passes “ overhead. TERM THAT BANISHED ANGER Appellation Bestowed on “Bachelor Maids” Put Further Animosity Out of the Question, ‘The tw® Elton sisters, age thirty and thirty-two and very successful business womep, live next door to the Smith sisters, about fifty and fifty-two, who . are also retired and given to the occu- pations of crocheting and quilt piec- ing. The Elton sisters speak of them- selves as “old maids,” and the Smith sisters as “pesky old maids,” in order to distinguish -between them. Also they are given to much pitying of the second-class. ladies. . But the other evening one of the Elton sisters, clad in a bunga'low apron, ‘was out sprinkling the lawn. As she moved ;around the house she heard the Smiths in conversation. “Yes, sister, age has Its compensa- tions,” one was ‘saying. “Now look at those girls next door. They no sooner get home than they get into those .aprons, so scanty that they are immodest. Of course, theyre just kids, but_ still—" That was enough for Miss Elton. With-a rush she was in the house. “Qh, Grace,” she told her sister, preathlessly, “those Smiths are real ‘nlce. We‘ve got to stop calling them pesky old maids.” And now generously the Eltons speak, of them as *“the other old malds.” KEREK KKK KKK KEK KKK * RED LAKE AND REDBY * IS Z 2SS SRS R Mr. Monks, chief clerk, Wahpeton Indian school, has been here for the past few days securing Indian boys and girls of this reservation for the school at Wahpeton, N.
