0 PLANT FOR HELIUM is soon TO BE OPERATED: _ _ • Coverninent Station At Am- ' Vrill.. Will lie Only One In World Amarillo, Tex." . „ tu<- Vnited States govern-, hei n. Plan' ncy *" 1 I L ut ivbi nury 1. according to F. | barge of the work her., i T ' hi nation, located about 7 miles Th *, f Amarillo. will be the only **’ ln t ii. xs Ol id after January 10. Xn the Ft. worth plant will be shut, dO X present unit consists of nine hllil . lln lorage tanks, and equipS necessary to remove he.ium ..mural gas. it will be capable f f°Dro<lii< ng from 35,000 to 40,000 ik feet Os helium a day. The tremendous amount Os natural gas ie-, i,,.,! will be appreciated when it is] Slized that only 1% to l%per cent is heiium. The raw gas comes! from four wells about 12 miles northwest of the station. Th e method of removal is easily understood even by the layman. The natural gas liquifies at a temperature 'about .'too degrees below zero.| fah renheit. while the helium remains, a Ka s until a much lower temperature, is reached. The helium escapes as a gas and the liquid natural gas is re-| turned to its normal temperature before it is led into the ten-inch pipe that takes it into the mains of the Amarillo Oas company. Shipped in Special Cars The helium is stored or shipped under pressure. It is sent to concentration points of the army or navy in specially designed tank cars, of which there are only three available. Each car consists of three tanks. f one pyramided on top of the other ' two secured together and to the chassis of the car. The drnjns are about 40 feet long, with an inside, diameter of 4 feet. They are cast in one piece 2 inches thick and are test--, ed to 3.300 pounds pressure per square I inch. . ■ For shipping the gas in smaller I quantities, steel bottles such as are I used for oxygen or acetylene are emr ployed. They carry about 180 cubic I feet. The helium, when shipped unE der 2.000 pounds pressure is heavier I than air. Special compressors de- | signed for helium or nitrogen are I used. I This odorless, non-inflammable gas, I which is the only practiea one for use | in the big ighter-than-alr ships, is I also valuable in salvage work where |- deep sea-divers are used. Nitrogen, which was formerly pumped down 11 1 with the oxygen to the divers, caused | j 1 a painful ailment known as the j t ‘bends unless the pressure was chang-j ed very slowly. When helium is em-l] I ployed, men may be lowered or raised I I I five times faster in safety, which was J I proved during the last submarine dis-1 j B aster. _ .. 0 8 8 3 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 S 8 8 8 8 54 8 I “ The PEOPLE'S VOICE « i 3 This column for the use, of our B.■ 3 readers who wish to make sug 81, 3 gestions for the general good KI; | 3 or discuss questions of interest. 8j I 3 Please sign your name to show 8j | 3 authenticity.

Many reasons and I canes are advanced as to why this , needed improvement should not be ] made and much misinformation is cir- i I culated in order to stir the mind pf < I" the public and excite the taxpayers • in to opposition to the proposed drain- I I age. Some of the many things advanc- | led in opposition, is that it cannot be I dene, that it is too costly, that it would ; be of no value and last that it would I nave a tendency to flood the people j at the end of the drain. Without going into tedious details R"e would be pleased to have the cp- I Position note the drainage of both the j -aanionia and the Mississinnewa tiv- I r ‘ -’ iocated in adjoining counties. Both I 0 hese rivers are as large if not lar- I sei than the Wabash and b3th have I een improved by drainage and so far le . writer ca n ascectain no one has < s ns or her farm or home and no m ß ,, WOldd as ' t ' ,,at tbe waterways I ioned . be returned to their ori- , a ndition. One of these drains at i •h?U h t S but one - fo «rth the fall of abash ' yet Is accomplishing the I of th 6 wblcb " was drained. Both i tavat! 88 ‘ rains have been P ald for b V businew a and> nd n ° ° Ue bas gone o,lt ' men, r bacauße of the accomplish- I hmv„„° , tlßse Improvements. This, I Pised dr i 8 nOt the reason for tbe Pfb’ I only ret- ainase of 'Be Wabash and is . thL ed tO 80 that a “ Ul " b *r 1 futed T 1 rgßd *" opp ° sitl °" may be re- i bash la ' 9 I ? re?ent drainage of the Wa- I acres of 80 that thousands of i all but wnrth\ lable landa tbat are now I made of use w h m 7 be redeemed and ! of lands d° es not lae ownpr I rights tn t le ldver have the same ' ’o drainage as the land owner

I off the river? Ami why If the land owner off the | Silver has the right and power under I i tho law to drain his lands und by so i | doing destroy those of his neighbors be naked yea, compelled to help re- i I store In u measure the damage he has | ; done? None of the good people pho are , i pposing the drainage would refuse I to do ull in their power to assist a ! helpless neighbor in the protection and saving of his property from file, yet they will ditch ami drain t.ielr lands onto the, lands of their neighbor and -.ay' in substance, "Let my neighbor ' take cate ‘Of the water as it Is of no benefit to me." Let we petitioners rei mind you who are opposing that if you ! will place the lands buck In the coni dition they were forty yeuts ago, by ’ placing the timber nnd swamps as they 1 were no one will be petitioning fir an outlet for your drainage. It is only because of the lateral drains and upper draining that the helpless people on the lower stretches of the river are asking relief. If some ne would come to yon and say "We are now by petition going to arrange your farms so that one-fourth of one half f it will constantly overflow", you would immediately r se up in arms and do what you could 11 defend yourself tinI der th’ law and prevent the desiruci tion of your property —yet this is I what you did .precisely. You have un- | der the power of the law practically destroyed thousands of acres of val--1 uable lands and imposed upon your ’ helpless neighbors what you would re- . sent and oppose to the last drop cf I of your blood, and when those whom I you have made to suffer attempt to ! help themselves you again rise in op- ■ position and strive to keep them in the I suffering condition in which you have ■ placed them. The facts of this whole I matter are these. The petitioners for i this drain were not solicited to petit: in by any attorney or attorneys as has been alleged. They haven’t been solicited by anyone and are only act--1 uated by conditions that have become burdensome and threaten the permanent damage of their lands and the loss of their homes. They are only asking for a reasonable drain believeing that if theif the rivet is straightened to the point named in the petition it will take care of the overflow water and give the desired relief. They believe that within a fall of from one to two feet they will have ample drainage. They further believe in asking for a drain that is to tost one-fifth (1-5) of the one defeated ;ome years ago. they are entirely reasonable and will work no hardship upon themselves or the people off the river. They further believe that they will not injure anyone in the proposed, project and if they should the people so affected are no better than those who have stood the damages for years until they have become helpless unless the law of the state of Indiana comes to their aid and any person adversely affected has his or her same rights under the law that we are claiming

and we. as petitioners, will be glad I to coperate in any extension proposed if done at this time. ( We aie proposing to do this work 1 under the Inter-State Drainage law under which a number of drains are , and have been made and we propose to invoke to the uttermost its strong arm to save what is left of our lands and homes. Are we asking a SQUARE ‘ DEAL OR NOT? Think it ver. The 1 petitioners are so far satisfied and are not expecting any relief from the fed- 1 eral statute recently enacted as the 1 upner stretches of the river are of no ’ use for navigation. Theiefore, being compelled by the aforesaid conditions, we will repetition immediately if said drainage pro- 1 ject fails. A PETITIONER. o- I 1 Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays

Skin Eruptions successfully treated from within

SKILLED physicians recognize the appearance of pimples, lioils and other skin eruptions ns being an indication of an abnormal condition of the system. This is why so many thousands have been enabled to free themselves of these unsightly blemishes and painful skin annoyances by taking a course of S.S.S. You owe it 'to yourself and friends to give S.S.S. a trial. It helps Nature build rich, red blood—those vitalizing elements in the blood that build and sustain the body. In building rich, red blood cells, S.S.S. improves the processes by which the body is nourished. “I suffered from impure blood—was weak, and I had lost so much weight, I didn’t look natural. I had pimples, and was also bothered with a breaking-out that itched terribly. I also had boils one after another. I tried different kinds of remedies, but nothing did me any good until a friend advised me to take S.S.S., which I did. This was some time ago. Now I feel well,

and I am getting along fine. S.S.S. stopped the itching and it cured me of boils. I advise all weak and run-down people to give S.S.S. a trial. It clears up the skin and makes you strong and fills you with energy.’’—Mrs. J. W. Barker, 1337 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, Ohio. All drug stores sell S.S.S. in two sizes. Get the larger size. It is more economical.
