I Arablston lies at the head of the Persian Gulf, Its western boundary be ing the fi^hnt-el-Arab, the great river formed by the combined waters of the Tigris and Euphrates, the right bank of which is In Turkish Arabia. Forty miles above where It flows into the Perslau gulf the Shat-el-Arab Is Joined by the Karun, and the town of Mo hammeruh stands at the junction of the two rivers, the former a clear, green stream, the latter thick and red. In ancient times the Karun flowed into the gulf, and part of the river still runs along the old channel, but the m^iIn stream has been diverted. ' three miles above Mohqinmernh, into j an artificial channel known geograph ically as the HafYar canal. It Is Impossible even to make a ; guess at the date of this wonderful ! work, not even a tradition remaining j of the ruler whose farsightedness real- j I zed the enormous value and posslbill- j ties of the waterways.

RDER FALL FERTILIZERS EARLY # lailroad Service is a Serious Problem?Fertilizer Dealers Will Be Required to Accumulate Orders So That Full Carloads Only Shall Be Shipped?Railway Authorities. Say Fertilizers Can Be Handled in Half Number of . Cars Ordinarily Used ? A War Measure. Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga. C. A. Whittle. The world i- hungry. To get more ?d I-" h 11 alarming problem. How can 'he farms produce more ?d when labor is so scarce? How can more acres be planted to <xl crop? or how can more work be ven the acits usually planted with 't more labor? Increase nL labor Is hardly to be tPected, l,u i here is one important cans of in!p which the Southern b.,. been utilizing In the lst and tha* is Fertilizer. But this is l)f?n with difficulties. fertilizr-r can increase production 'ithout increasing labor except at time. The warring nations predate this fact, and are giving 1 the encouragement they can to the ,p of fertilizers. The railroads can't do the busi es expected of them unless every eiRht car is loaded to full ca nity. To load them to full capacity e fertilizer dealer must have enough ders in to make up a full car load More ho can reasonably hope to get 'hipmtnt. The earlier the carload "tos are placed the better chance, ' course, nf getting a shipment. Be 'use of the shortage of equipment, ,e railroads should have as much time as possible to plan for moving the fertilizer. Early orders will give them a knowledge of the number of cars that will be needed. Government Authorities Backing It The National Council of Defense has sent out a bulletin on this very subject, urging farmers to order their fall fer tiHzers^e^rly so full carload shipments might be made and the largest amount of human food produced. The United States Department of Agriculture through the States Re lations Service and Bureau of Soils; and agricultural colleges and coun ty agents, are advising the same. The railroads are very urgent about the matter" The fertilizer manufac turers are offering to help the dealers and farmers as much as possible to overcome the transportation difflcal ties. Half Cars Can Be Saved Railway authorities have statistics to show that half of the cars ordinari ly used for hauling fertilizers could do the business, if only they are load ed to their maximum capacity. Where a full car load can not bo made up for one destination, then it is to be filled with orders for neigh-; boring stations along a railroad. plore Wheat and Oats From the South farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, O?* The South will be expected to take ?f its share of wheat and oat Auction. Discouragement from the inter kill <,f the last Beason and la ttr conditions make the task of keep 's up production no small one,- but le country needs more of these crops is to mke care of Its allies. The Hep* which they are bringing, of toirse. (.lo not discourage production. **VPn ?f the acreage cannot be in "?ased 5 hp prices which the small ?*ins are bringing justify the Yery *eed bed preparation and the u?e of fertiliser. Growing cereals, of course, do not *ttlre as much labor as growing corn M cotton, it is true, bat corn and cotton will take their turn In every well planned farm. The scant oat crop should be hus banded for seed this year. No oats are as good for planting in the South as those grown in the South, especially If they are grown In the region where they are to be planted. The same Is true of wheat unless in a given sec-1 tion the best variety for that section has not ydt been used. Good seed should be ordered early, i Unless fertilizers are ordered early,! so that dealers can ship only in fullj carload lots it is quite probable that i farmers will be disappointed when seeding time comes. The railroads j will probably hare more than they can j do even with full carload shipments, j It Is a national necessity to see thatj no freight car space is wasted. USED WIND POWER Ancient Chinese Records Tell of Kite Carriage. Same Idea Was Involved In Patent l? *ued for "Motor Car" to Hugo Up tfcn During Reign of Jamea I of England. The first record of a vehicle travel* Int: without tt ill i mi I power 1m found In the ancient Chinese records, which give an account of the kite carriages. These vehicles were driven l*y ttye wfnd blowing iiKiilnst a sail attached to the carriage. In the early reign of King .lames 1 of England, a patent was Issued to Hugo Upton, reading as followk: "For the sole uuiklng of an lusiruuierit which shall he driven hy the wind for the transportation or car riage of anything hy hind." Some be lieve that Upton secured ids idea from Kite carriages in old China. Howe\cr, the history of mechanical ly driven carriages dates hack to 1080, when Sir Isjtac Newton proposed a strain fitrrluire to he driven hy tho reactive effect of a Jet of steam Issu ing from the nozzle at the rear of the vehicle. Some years later a crude carriage was built, an early record of which reikis as follows: "Mr. Pinch beck has recently built a curious steam machine that has traveled without horses for 40 minutes and has covered a considerable distance." In 1759 there appeared an English advertise ment reading as follows: "Mr. Ladd's patent four-wheel carriage that goes without horses and will curry four or five persons at the rate of six miles an hour Is built on solid mechanical principles." In 1802 Richard Trevl thlck built a steam carriage, which was exhibited at Loudon, having driv en Itself 00 miles. In 1830 a horseless carriage named, "the automotlon" was built by Walter Handcock. This was really the first steam carriage tlu?t proved at all practical. It covered 200 miles during Its life and carried a total of 12,701 imssengcrs. The first internal combustion englue was Invented by Abbe d' Hautefeuille In 1C78, In which the explosive power of gunpowder was employed to drive a piston in a cylinder. This was the forerunner of the modern gasoline en gine. Some years leter John Street developed an engine operated by liquid air ignited by a flame. The first in ternal combustion motor which used gas was inventefKin 1884 by Gottlieb Dander. In 1885 he successfully ap plied this engine to a bicycle, and In 1SS0 Carl Benz Invented his single hor izontal cylinder, water-Jacketed engine, which he applied to a three-wheeled carriage. The first practical gasoline automobile built In America was con structed by C. E. Duryea In 1892, but It Was found to be underpowered. In 1894 lie built a new four-cylinder car which proved quite successful In tho Chicago Times-Herald race. The first automobile endurance race of in ternational Importance was held in France In 1894. Two Panluird ma chines contested. Both claimed a 8.5 horsepower and were driven by Messrs. Panhard and Peugeot. In 1895 the sec ond automobile endurance race was held in France and covered a distance of 1,730 miles at the then remarkable average speed of 15 miles per hour. Six years later, however, the same course was covered at the rate of 50 miles i>er hour. In 1897, at the Parls Troville road race, a speed of 29 miles an hour was developed in a gasoline automobile. What a difference today. Not long ago a 300-horsepower car raced at a terrific speed of 143 miles an hour. Even pleasure cars easily run off 50 miles an hour. Elbows. Everybody has elbows and especially famous people, so that occasionally they can rub them with the masses. The elbow Is a symbol of democracy and If people hadn't discovered how to rub them we might still be living In an age of feudalism. The elbow is very useful and some people who haven't a brain In their heads elbow their way through life and don't seem to mind the difference. Science has frequently been asked what people would have done if they had no elbows and has explained the baffling question in this way?they would probably have something else Just like them. The elbow Is a valuable organ, or member, and If you have an arm* to cutoff you will need an elbow on It so that the arm can be cut off either above or be low the elbow. Elbows are of all sorts, such as ragged, wrinkled, shiny and rheumatic. Elbows ore well enough In their Svay, but a great nuisance at quick-lunch counters.

' Many flrst-ahl cabinets contain the United States army tourni quet. It consists of a strap made of webbing with a buckle and a catch on one end.
