Advice to Farmers.

Advice to Farmers.
Clarksburg News.
West Virginia coal lands are fast
being taken up by great coal dealers
from every part of the country. The
entire State is practically covered with
leases and options, and it will not be
very many years until the farmers of
the State will have disposed of their
coal and it will be owned by the cap
italists of the world AS a rule the
land owner has been too eager to dis
pose of his coal, and has taken almost
any price offered, while if he had been
content to wait a few years then he
would have received much larger
price. From the present outlook it
will not be very long until the great
corporations will be in possession Of
all the natural wealth of the State
The great trouble is the land owners
do not look forward to the probable
results of the future. They have their
eye on the dollar that is in sight to-
day, but their eyes are blinded to the
future. If the coal lands are valuable
investments for capitalists then why
wouldn't it be the proper thing for the
farmer to keep his coal until there is
a greater demand for it.

Three Different Systems That ReEu-
late the Succession to Europ-
can Sovereignty.

Many people have been confused
by the various laws of succession
which prevail in Europe. There are
three different systems, the most
general being that known as the
Sale system, under which women are
completely excluded. This is the rule
in Belgium, Sweden and Norway, TIA
ly, Denmark and Germany. Then
there is the German-Dutch system,
under which males of all degrees of
relationship take precedence of fe-
males, the throne passing to the fe-
male line only in case Of the ex-
tinction of all the male lines, how
ever remote. This is the rule in
HoIland-from which it takes it's
name-Russia, and some of the minor
German states. The third system
is that prevailing in Great Britain,
under which females are excluded
when there are males in the same
degree of relationship, but take prece-
dence of males whose degree of re-
lationship is not so close as their
own. Thus an elder daughter of the
ruling sovereign of Great Britain gives
way to all her younger brothers and
their issue, but takes precedence of
a male cousin or a nephew. This sys-
tenn is the rule in Spain and Portu-
gal as we'll as in England.

and ask for an Identification of the
young lacy. This. of course, has been
refused, although some of the writers
have pleaded with all the ardor of
medieval gallant that they be allowed
to form her acquaintance. Some i'm

that Providence has attuned their souls

strength. The writer's are, many of
them, persons of some circumstance,
declaring, however, that the young
lady's picture is Indicative of qualities
she possesses which, they believe,
would make an ideal happy home

BEATS THE GOVERNMENT.
Denver Man Underbids Uncle Sam I'm
Postal Service and Does u Big
Business.

A Denver (Col.) man has entered
into competition with the government
in the delivery of local mail matter.
He underbids the government, and is
carrying sealed drop letters through
out the city for one cent each, thus
saving the sender one cent on every
letter, says the New York Post His
patrons SO far are confined largely
to the big mercantile establishments
and circular advertising concerns in
the city. Some of. these send out
thousands of drop letters every
month. It is SAID in Denver there
is no federal law that is violated in
thus competing with the post office
department. At present the con-
tractor is operating his service large
ly in the downtown section, but is
rapidly expanding his business so as
to include the entire city. He has
been delivering by his plan less than
month. He started in single-hand-
ed, but the volume of his service has
so increased as to enable him to
employ five carriers, and he expects
as soon as the business iustifies =
to have as many carriers as the To-
cal post Office. Up to date he makes
only two deliveries a day He ex-
poets soon, however, to provide for
three or more deliveries daily, and Ill
timately to render a service equally
as effective as the post office I'm
like the government, he places no re-
striction upon the weight or size
Of the letters, provided, of course,
his patrons do not try to take ad-
vantage of him by loading his car
riers down with heavy and unwieldy
matter. He delivers for one cent let
ters for which the postal rate would
require ten and IL cents To facili-
tate matters, he has supplied his
patrons with mail boxes, to which
his carriers hold keys. One of the
chief advantages of the system is
that it does away with the stamping
of letters, thus saving time and Ia
Dor.

A GIANT INDUSTRY.
Annual Output of Ores from the Lake
Superior Mining Region in
Four Years.

The Century for March contains, in
it's series on great material achieve
ments of the past century, paper on
"The Mining of Iron,' the author be-
ing Walden Fawcett. 1t will amaze the
general reader to learn what amazing
strides the industry has made in this
country since 1896:
Twenty million tons, which consti-
tutes the yearly output of the Lake
Superior region at the opening of the
new century, is more than double the
product of any other iron manufacture
ing region in the world during any
single year in history. Loaded in
freight cars of the ordinary type, three
railroad tracks would be filled solidly
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
Even persons thoroughly conversant
with the meteoric flights of American
enterprise must be surprised at the
mushroom growth of this Lake Supe-
rior mining country. The first ore dig
gers went to work there nearly As
years ago, and yet one-third of all the
ore which has been produced there
during the 40 decades has been mined
since President Mckinley was elected
the first time. Within twoscore years
the annual output has increased 800
fold. Or, if still more convincing evil
dence is desired, take the record of
last year OF the year previous. In
either one of these periods there was
taken out of the ground nearly twice
as much ore as in even so recent
year as 1896. Indeed, the output in
each of the two closing years of the
century exceeded that of any five years
previous to 1899, and surpassed the en-
tire 30-year period OF shipments up
to 1882.
What might be termed the financial
side of the iron mining industry easily
constitutes one of it's most important
phases. Here is a commodity which,
in it's raw state, adds nearly $25 ,OOO,-
600 to the wealth of the country every
year-an aggregate greater than that
OF the gold and silver mines of the ma
ton. There are mines in the territory
bordering on the worlds largest fresh
water lake which have in a single year
recently Melted their owners a profit
of $1,000, 900, or half as much again as
the authorized capital of the company
controlling them, and it is nothing un-
usual to hear of mine which has paid
Tor itself in single season"

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard arti.
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but a great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr.
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufacturers do not use them. be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs So. Is a pound
and another 81 IS gallon. while large share
OF the sO-called cements and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than 16-cent glue,
dissolved in water or citric acid, and, in some
cases. altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition of cheap and useless materials
Majors Cement retailS at Is cents and %
cents bottle, and when dealer tries to sell
substitute you can depend upon it that his
only object is to make a larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to ma Ike on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr.. Ma
jor's advertising, which now amounts to over
S., 900 month. throughout the country. Es-
tablished in 1915.

PrOprie tors.

II had an experience in a New York
hotel which struck me at the time
as being rather odd and brought Wv
idly to my mind the homelessness of
hotel life said a hotel boarder to
friend who had him at his home
for dinner, relates the New York
Sum-. ga friend of mine died in the
hotel where we both had rooms. The
first thing thought of was bit of
crepe, or some other emblem of
mourning for his door. So I went to
the clerk and asked him if they had
any mourning emblems in the house.
HE looked at me in amazement
Said he had been in the hotel bust
ness 90 years and never had that
question asked him before. Then
asked him if there would be any OBJ
lection to my buying something of
the kind and putting it on my dear
friends door.
Certainly, there would he re-
piled. Tt would never do. It would
alarm the other boarders. Might as
we'll stick scarlet fever sign on the
door. And he added, in a peculiar
manner, please do not have your
friends funeral from the hotel if
you can help it.

I don't know he answered, but
