The comparative amount ts of food
used by the various nations of the
world are stated in very interesting
statistical article by G George P. Wal
dron in McClure's Magazine. The
worlds average crop of potatoes is
over 1000 600 900 bushels; that of
wheat $500, ,OOO,OO bushels that of
corn 800 900 900 and that of rye and
barley, 600 OOO, 900 bushels. In the
consumption Of potatoes Ireland leads
ws.h the daily average of pounds to
the psrson. In the use of meats the
United States stands at the head OF the
list with IL 600 900 900 pounds per an
mum, or LAT pounds per capita OF
this IN round numbers 5 900 600, 900
pounds are beef, 4 900 600 600 pork and
600. OOO, GOO mutton. Great Britain
comes nsxl to the U 8. IN meat, eating
with en- average Of 100 pounds per
capita. Italy uses but "a pounds Of
meat per capita annually. Toe United
States elso leads in the use of eggs,
fully 10000 600 600 being required in
the course OF year, or 133 eggs for
each person. Again the UaIted States
stands at the head in the consumption
o, TOBACCO, 200 600 600 pounds a year
being smoked and chewed by Ameri-
cans. We do not, however, use 80
much per capita as B4lgium, Switz9r
land, the Netherlands, or Germany.
The United States is behind Great
Britain in the use Of rice and wheat
In the consumption of beverages there
is a marked divergence. Great Britain
drinks more tea than any other coun
try; also more beer. Spain leads in
the consumption Of wine. Or these
the United States uses enough, how
ever her consumption of tea being

1t is understood that there is possibility
of the Commercial club taking up the mat
ter of a new High school building. Several
of the members of the club have expressed
the opinion that there Is great need of
High school building and that bonds should
be voted for the purpose of erecting such a
structure, Those who have investigated the
proposition assert that bonds in the sum Of
800 900 can at this time easily be sold at
per cent interest This city has now seven
fine brick school houses and three frame
school houses. Every one of these buildings
has been erected out of the annual income
of the school district. The yearly liquor IL
censes bring to the Board of Education con-
siderable money and the police court fines
also go to the schools. These fines are,
however, very small and in the course of a
year do not amount to half as much as one
liquor license. Further, it is asserted that
by voting bonds the rate of taxation could
be reduced. For some years past the annual
levy for school purposes has amounted to
from IS to 20 mills. The voting of bonds it
is claimed would reduce the school levy to
Is mills or less.
The fact that the school district is not
in debt and is not bonded is given by some
as reason for opposing the bond propcsi-
tion. Two attempts have been made dur
ing the last few years to vote bonds for
High school purposes and both times the
propositions were defeated. Both of these
propositions were submitted at general cleo
tions and this is given as an excuse for the
result AS the tickets are generally long
and the bond propositions came last on the
tickets the voters, or at least a great many
of them, overlooked the matter, and con-
sequently the bonds did not receive the nee
essary majority. 1t Is figured that If a
special election is held and the question
of bonds or no bonds is thoroughly discussed
by the voters of this city that there will be
no trouble in carrying the proposition,
Members of the Board of Education while
admitting the necessity for a new high
school building, are not taking any active
part at the present time in the project They
feel that as the taxpayers would naturally
have to bear the burdens 1t is no more than
right that the suggestion of voting bonds
should come from them.
If the Commercial club takes up the mat
ter 1t is more than likely that a committee
of its members will be appointed to attend
session of the Board of Education for
the purpose of discussing the matter.
About $500 children are now attending
the public schools and it is estimated that
fully 1900 will apply for admission when
the fall term opens.
Today interest on all school district war
rants outstanding will cease and will be re-
deemed at the Office of the city treasurer
as soon as presented. The amount of out
standing warrants is in the nelghborhocd
of $4,000, and when these are cancelled
the district will virtually be free from debt.
Seven per cent interest is paid on all school
warrants.

piled the steam to operate both lock
gates The R. L. Aubrey was in the
lock at the time of the accident, and
several deck hands on the boat had
narrow escapes. The explosion block
e1 navigation for a time, as the ex-
plosion destroyed the the only avail
