"A comparison of the various au.
thorltles show that approximately
80 per cent of the spelter produced in
this country is used in galvanizine
steel and iron sheets; 20 per cent in
making sheets and other rolled pro-
ducts; 1 per cent in desilverizing
lead; the remaining 4 per cent for
miscellaneous purposes. The direc-
ton in which the use of zinc can be
enlarged is in the manufacture OF
sheets. The proportion of rolled
metal IN Europe is greater than in
this country, as a considerable guam
tity of sheets is used for roofing, an
employment of the metal which is
little known here. 1t might be very
much extended. The used of stamp
ed metal sheets of zinc for ceilings
and interior finish is, however, in
creasing in this country.
A dollar left idle is a dollar of no
value in the world. The moneys now
piled up in the banks of this country
are but an incentive for wreckers
and trust combines to seek a monop-
oily of the necessaries of life, and thus
work hardship upon the very ones
who deposit their money in these in
stitutions. This money should be
set to work in honest employment
not in the stock speculations of Wall
Street, and for the manipulations of
ship combines and United States
steel combinations. but for the hon
est development of the resources of
the country. For the next ten years
more money will flow into the de-
velOpment of the mineral resources
of the ground than has been invested
therein in the past fifty years, and
Arkansas will lead this grand pro-
cessIon because of her limitless min
eral resources, and the ease and
cheapness with which they may be
realized upon.
Our people who think we have
been having such awful weather,
will please read this from an Iowa
paper, and then thank their stars
they live in Arkansas: There has
been so much said about the blizzard
during the last week of 1904 and
about those of the winter of 1883
that we have been in consultation
with Uncle Harvey Hollen, who
kindly investigated the records
which he has been keeping all his life
Uncle Harvey's record shows that
the month of January 1888 was al
most a continuous blizzard. There
were three bad billiards, Jan 9, Jan.
16 and II, and Jan. 25. The ther-
mometer was below zero sometime
during the day on 10 different DAYS
in the month. The coolest day was
Jan. 5 when it was 80 below zero
at 9 o'clock and was below zero all
day. Mr. Hollen says the SHOWS
during Jan. 1888 were the deepest
and drifted the most of any year
since he came to Iowa in 1852"
The St. Louis papers tell an in
teresting story of the mysterious dis
appearance in that city, of Mrs W.
g. Bright and her two little daugh-
ters- Mr.. and Mrs Bright were in
Ho orrIeo-, cara-,1 ,,-aaI-e I,o+ ell L..
ing which time they stayed at Mrs.
Hayles boarding house Later they
decided to locate at Marshall, but
after trying that town for short
time, went to St. Louis. Bright was
- years of age and his wife 26.
Mr. Bright went last Sunday to
Lexington, KY, where he is inter
ested in a distiIlery, and on his re-
turn Tuesday, found his wife gone,
taking with her several thousand
dollars. At her boarding house she
said she had been summoned to meet
her husband at Lexington Bright
says everything he possessed was in
his wife's name. His bank account
of about $4,000 was to her credit.
and recently he gave to her $3.50 as
pin money, to which was added $3.50
from the sale of some land which she
negotiated. He says that their
married life has been happy, that
they have had no quarrels, and he
knows of no reason why she should
desert him.
What it means to be without
water near at hand for every day
domestic use was brought forcefully
to the notice of almost every citizen
of Harrison during the recent dry
spell. When such conditions force
the great as well as the small to car

statesmen of our helplessness in case
