So were vast qnnntlties of nitrates, iionght from Oermnn producers in ('hiie for export to (ierninny, anil their stoppage compelled the Oerman nitrate pro¬ ducers In Chile to cen.se working. These producers too were In debt to the Chilean (foverninpnt. Thnt gov¬ emment therefore Ixnigbt the nitrate, paying for It by drafts' on Berlin drawn agninst the gold whlt-h it could not reach. It then sold the nitrate In the United States to the DtiPont Ex¬ plosives company, receiving payment in gold in New Yorlt. Thus It trans¬ ferred Its gold reserve from Oermany to the United Statea, and Incidentally added to the stork of raw material to be converted Into expioslvefl where¬ with to defeat Germnn troops.

"Yoa," snid Teggy. "I wns rending Avher«> Mr. Htoniorrow, the fuel demon¬ strator, is trying to g«t coal from the mind.s."
"But the paper snys there I.s a short¬ age of nntlirnx coal," interrupted ma, "and that we should use volnmlnoua coal."
"Not 'voluminons,* ma," corrected PegKy, "buytoomany coal!"
"I don't cnre what they call It," said mn, "you cnn't get nny, anyhow. It's just too nggregatlng for words. A pound of sugar or a hod of coal today is wrorth more than all the wealth of the nncient Inlcstands."
"Who were them?" aslied Peggy.
"Tliem was Indians as used to live down In Texaco," ma told her. "It does look as if this war would never ter¬ minal."
"It will be terrible If the Itusstans continue their armature with the Ger¬ mans, wouldn't It, ma?"
"Oh, he's a terrible, terrible man," sighed ma.

A man wlio saw the process <'Xi'iiiiilHie(l describes it to the Christian Scieiioo Monitor in tliese Words: "I iiavo seiMi water burning, I Imye seen water streaming into a liaiiie of bliizing oil, ;ui(i, insti-ail of imtting out the (Ire, it made tlie flame rear up¬ ward and deveio|» a teini»erature of 'J.OOO (h'grees Falirerilicil, eiioiit.;h to melt copper." It should he .said that tlie water alone wiil not Inirii now any moro than in tiie pa.^^t, but. coniliiMe<l Willi etiual parts of any oil that will (low freely, it becomes excelient fuel. Tills is tlie way the observer exiilnins the prncuss tei'iiiiically: "Tlio eoinlins- tion of wat^r is based upon tlie fact tliat wlien a fine slreain nf water Is put throtiuli an inlelisely hnt metal cnll, it is not only turned into vapor, but the water molecules are split up into thetr constituent elejiierits, oxygen and hy¬ drogen."

GRANGE SURPLUS HELPSJIIN WAR
Ohio Patrons of Husbandry En¬ dorse Liberty Bonds as Best Investment on Earth.
FARMERS STAND SOLIDLY FOR DEFENSE OF NATION
"The state organization has Invested every penny of Its surplus In Liberty bonds," was the prond announcement of Louis J. Taber, master of the Ohio State Orange, last week. "Sub-granges should follow Its example," he added.
"The next Liberty loan campaign," said Mr. Taber, "will afford the grange an exceptional opportunity to serve patriotically not only our order, but agriculture, the country and civiliza¬ tion at large. The motto of our State Grange Is, 'A bond In every farm home In Ohio.'
"Nor should we stop there. Every patron and every fermer should he reached, for there Is not a fanner in Ohio but can afford to buy at least one Liberty bond on the very easy terms offered. Kvery one should hold at least one bond. Tlie farmer was not a heavy purchaser In either of tho earlier drives. There were reasons Justifying this condition then, but there is no adequate excuse for his failure to purchase now. I ara confl- dent the farmers will maintain the traditions of their patriotic fore¬ fathers by coming nobly to the flnan- clal rescue of their country. There is no better or safer investment on earth than a Liberty bond.*'
An Incident of the farmern' fonim, the flrst to be held dnring a "Farmers' Week" at the New York State College of Ajrrlcnlfnre at Ithaca, proved con¬ vincingly that the farmers of the Rm- plre .State intend toMnvest In the third Liberty loan to the limit of their re¬ sources.
One of the speakers from the floor, who had rccounte<l hi« distressing pmhlems of the winter, embracing lark of fuel, inability to get feed for his stock, necessity of feeding wheat be¬ cause the price of corn wns prohibitive, closed his talk with the remark: "Yes, I bought Liberty bonda of the flrst Issue, and I invested in the aecond loan, and I'm going to take some of the third loan too."
The big audience of practical farm¬ ers responded with hearty langhter and loud applause. Thpy were qulclc to give unanimous approval to his patriotic sentiments.
The troubles and problems of the farmer loom large, to be sure, for the Individual must solve them on his own acres. Yet, above all, the farmer re¬ alizes that his difficulties must he sub¬ ordinated when tho nation needs his unswerving support In winning the war.
That the farmers of New York will stand solidly behind tbe United States In making the third Liberty loan a suc¬ cess Is unquestioned. They are al¬ ready enlisting for active service in the campaign in co-operation with the State Federation of Farm Bureaus. In the forthcoming drive they intend to "carry on" at a pace that promises to set up a national record. The farmers' line of defense will show no gap.
WOMEN PLAN TO PUT EVERY PERSON TO TEST
The "Follow tip Committee" will he one of the Inoportant features of the work of the Woman's Ll^esty I-oan Committee In Niagara Falls during the coming campaign, accordinit to a state¬ ment by Mrs. I. R. Rdmundii. chalr- tnan of the Niagara Falls Woman's Committee, who was In New York re¬ cently to confer with Mrs.' John T. Pratt, chairman of the Second Federal Reserve District. During the last loan her committee raised two-thirds of the Individual subscriptions In that city, but Mrs. Edmunds feels they could have done far better If there had heen some way of checking ap the peopla who avoided buying bonds by saying they had bought them elsewhere.
"During this campaign the name and address of each one of these persons will he taken by the canvasser and turned over to the 'Follow Up Com¬ mittee,' which will Investigate each case," she said. "A special effort will then he made to get subscriptions from those who merely gave auch an an¬ swer as an excuse, for we feel that it Is just such persons as these who should be mnde to buy honds."
Mrs. Edmunds snid the women of Niagara were interested keenly In the coming campaign and anxious to commence work. During the last cam¬ paign they showed great enthusiasm. There was a keen rivalry among the leaders nf the various districts and women who hnd never been known to exert themselves for any cause before devoted all their time and energy to¬ wards malting the loan a sncceBs.
