Fertilizer Regulation to Protect Farmer*. The U. S. Bureau of Soils has issued a regulation requiring all manufacturers of fertilizers containing one per cent or more of borax to indicate the amount on the fertilizer analysis so that purchasers may know what they are getting. The Bureau has issued a statement advising that more than one tenth percent of borax is likely to be attended with injurious effects on the growing crops. The experiments conducted in this county last summer indicate that four pounds of borax per acre may kill the corn. This regulation will enable the purchaser of American potash to make his selection without danger. Poultry Show Bett Ever. 302 birds on exhibition of the best quality ever shown in the county is the story of the Sixth Annual Poultry Show being held this week. Judge Keeler stated that the show comprised an exceptionally fine lot of birds and that the community was fortunate in having so many breeders of high class poultry. The number of corn exhibits was small but what they lacked in quantity was made up in quality as there was just as much good corn shown as ever before but the inferior types of corn were left at hom'e, indicating that the corn growers are well informed as to what constitutes the proper type.

Shorthorn breeders are active again and are talking of holding a ! combination sale some time this spring in the interest of the breed. , Breeders who have good animals to place in such a sale should communicate with the county agent. Outlook For Pure Bred Bu»ine*» Good. Breeders of pure bred live stock report that they are enjoying an unusually good business and are having no trouble in disposing of their surplus breeding stock. The cattle breeders report especially I heavy sales and the horse men report a better demand than they have had for years. Everything points towards good conditions for the । farmer who will go ahead with maximum production at the same time > keeping a close watch on the busi- । ness side of farming.

“REDS" IN DRIVE TO CASPIAN SEA

Bolshevik! Take Port Which Threatens British Rule in Persia. DISASTER FOR GEN. DENIKIN Antibolshevik Forces Cut in Two by Lenine's Occupation of Taganrog —Menaced With Attack in the Rear. London, Jan. 9. —Bolshevik cavalry has captured the town of Berdiansk, on the north shore of the sea of Azov, one of the most excellent ports pn the sea. London, Jan. 9. —The situation in Russia is about as barf as could be from an antl-bolshevist point of view, according to British war office reports, and there are few signs indicating any likely improvement. There are two especially menacing developments. In the first place, Gen. Denikine’s army has been cut in two through the bolshevlst push to the sea of Azov at Taganrog, and its flanks have been thrust back, leaving a large gap. In addition there comes a report from the bolshevik! of the capture farther east of the town of Krasnovodsk, on the Caspian sea, and, while this is not confirmed, it is generally accepted as true. Persia Is Threatened. The capture of this Important port of Krasnovodsk, it is poplnted out, creates the grave possibility that the Reds may overrun northern Persia and occupy Teheran, which probably would mean the establishment of bolshevist rule In Persia. The taking of Krasnovodsk permits the Reds not only to control a large part of the important Krasnovodsk-Merv railroad, but gives them free access to the Caspian. There seems little, then, to prevent them from gaining control of the Caspian from the more or less ineffec five volunteer fleet. Once In possession of this sea there remains only a small British force and the poorly organized Persian forces b.e-

tween ore Rede and the occupation or Teheran and northern Persia, through which would exist the possibility of thsir obtaining control of the whole country. v Baku Likely to Fall. Baku, wiA its important oil supplies, on the western coast of the Caspian, seems likely also to fall into bolshevist hands and its occupation would provide a base for further operations against the rear of Gen. Deniklne’s hard pressed right wing. Recently It was reported that Baku, on the Caspian, and Batum, on the Black sea, had been occupied by the British. Persia, as a result of its new treaty, is now virtually a British protectorate. If the Bolshevist reports be true, Gen. Deniklne has suffered a considerable disaster, for not only have the reds severed all communication between his left and right wings, but, they have captured large quantities of war material, including much that was sent to him by the allies. There Is little hope held out here that, deprived of these supplies, the Deniklne forces can hope to make a resistance that would prove effective against the overwhelming red army.

TRIES TO AMEND DRY LAW

Measure Would Allow Liquor Saloons on U. S. Ships. Washington, Jan. 9. —American passenger ships in foreign service would be allowed to operate bars under a bill Introduced in the house by Representative Edmonds of Pennsylvania.

The proposed exemption would not extend to vessels on the Great Lakes nor In the American coastwise trade. The bill seeks to amend the national prohibition act.

SATURDAY. JANUARY <6, IMO-

- Automobiles - January 9, 1920. Dear Sir —Covering more miles on the highways in 24 hours than any other machine ever built by man, a standard, fully equipped Essex touring car has set a new world’s record for endurance. Running day and night over rough and frozen lowa roads, through 10 hours of snow whipped into drifts by a bitter wind, this Essex traveled 1,061 miles against seemingly impossible handicaps. During all this time the motor never faltered, not a single adjustment of any kind was made to it and at the end of the journey the engine was running as sweetly as at the beginning. And this wonderful record was not made by any specially prepared car over a track or a speedway. It was made by a car which already had covered more than 12,000 miles and which had to battle against bad roads amd freezing weather every mile of the distance. Remarkable as such an aChievement is, it only goes to prove what — 20,000 owners in all parts of the world already know—that the Essex gives greater performance and more comfort at less cost than have ever been obtainable in an automobile before. Let us explain to you in detail the advanced design which makes such a performance possible and how it assures the same superior efficiency in winter as in summer. The Essex knows no seasons. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.
