Copper is one OF the principal
metals. Copper was one of the first
metals, known to man. It was used be-
fore iron. There are several kinds Of
copper. The carbonates, oxides and
the sulphurets
Copper Is about nine times heavier
than water The United States produces
one third OF the worlds supply Of
copper
Montana, Michigan and Arizona are
the chief copper fields of the United
States.
Copper is used for many things. It
is used for bottoms OF ships because
1t does not rust and the shell-flsh can
not stick to It. Money is made OF It.,
bolts are made Of 1t because It does
not rust or wear out the wood.
Copper Is reddish metal The
word copper was taken from the Latin
word cupprum.
Copper was named for the island
Cypress.

One fall day some little children
planned to gather autumn leaves the
next day. The morning dawned clear
and bright and the little children got
up early and were ready to start by
ten o'clock. They all started of happy
and all having fun playing and talking.
At about half past eleven they ar
rived at the woods. The children's
names were: Edna Brown, Louise
BlacA. Edith, Harry and Henry White,
Max Green. June jackson. Jack Gray,
Minnie, Helen and Charles Jones.
When they got there they all were
hungry and 50 they ate their dinner
of bread, butter. pie, cake, candy, pick
les, cookies and many other good
things.
After dinner the girls put the dishes
napkins and the table cloth back in the
baskets.
They then went to the brook near
by and got a good cool drink of water.
They then went after leaves and got

JAMES AND HIS FARM WORK.

James Greyson was a boy about IL
years Of age. His father was dead and
he had charge OF q 100 acre farm II
was in the autumn and there was q
great deal of work to do.
There was the drilling OF the wheat,
the picking OF apples and pears, the
squashes and pumpkins had to be
gathered in, the potatoes to be dug,
and stored away in the cave.
He had % acres of corn to husk
and when he had little spare time
he would take his faithful dog Bruno
and roam the woods In search OF
squirrels, rabbits, quails, cartridges
and perhaps take his gun and dog and
20 down to the marshes In search OF
wild geese and ducks. After there
had been a good frost he would take q
sack and go to the woods and get q
sack Of nuts to roast at the fire place
on the winter evening.

COAL.


Dear Editor:
/ Coal is very important mineral. 1t
Is mined in many places. There le
much coal mined in the southeastern
part OF Iowa. Some of the other states
Of the union in which coal is mined
are, Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania
Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Coal is used to burn for fuel IN
stoves, furnaces and to run engines. II
is also used for making illuminating
gas.
! Thousands Of years ago great
swamps containing luxuriant vegeta'
ton existed in many lowlands. After
they were formed they were slightly
depressed below the sea and were
covered by layers of sand and mud.
The sediment hardened slowly until
it was layers of rock and then 1t be-
came the black stone-like substance
which we call coal When this had
been buried for long time 1t became
bituminous or soft coal and with the
.upheavel of the earth it came nearer
the surface and then changed to nard
or anthracite coal.

DIAMONDS.

In Kimberly, South Africa, which is
situated north Of the Orange river, the
chief diamond mines Of the world are
found.
One day man was digging well
near the Orange river, when he dug
into some kind OF clue clay in which
he found q rough sort Of stone. He
went to q neighboring farmer and
asked him what sort Of stone 1t was.
The farmer gave this man few sheep
for the stone. He sent It to shop
in England, and they said that 1t was
q very valuable diamond.
Finally the region around the
Orange river became noted 40 place
where diamonds are found. They
hired slaves to- sort the diamonds.
They watched the slaves closely 90
that they couldn't get out Of the build
ing with any diamonds, for they were
Of the slaves who sold dia-

the mining region.

COAL.

Ages ago no one knew Just when
there flourished upon this earth,
vegetable growth, such as moss,
ferns, and fungi, and then as years
rolled by, burying it deep In the
bowels Of the earth. 1t was trans
formed into coal. Coal is dug or
mined from the earth.
A great deal Of coal is used for heat
ing houses, but most Of it is used In
the furnaces of steam engines and In
making iron and steel.
The coal used in making iron and
steel is first heated in ovens until 1t
becomes a porous mass called coke.
Coke making is an extensive In
dustry in Pennsylvania. There are two
kinds Of coal, ''bituminous," or soft
coal. the kind that Is found in Iowa,
and anthracite" or hard coal which
is found in Pennsylvania, near ScrAh.
ton. A great deal Of It is sent to
Philadelphia where steel ships, loco
motives and machinery are made.
There are three great mining re-
gions in the United States. One Is
Iowa, Nebraska. Missouri and Kan.
sas. the second is in Illinois and In.
diana, and the third and largest Is In
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama.
More than half the coal mined in
the United States comes from Penn.

SOME MINERALS OF THE Y. s.

The mines Of the United States are
among its most valuable resources.
and yield about one-third OF ell the
mineral products of the world. BY far
the most valuable Of the mineral pro
auctions are coal and iron. Next is
gold, copper and silver. Iron ore is
found In nearly every state, but about
two-thirds Of our product is mined
near the south and west shores Of
Lake Superior, and most OF the rest
is found in. the rock folds Of the APP
palachian mountains. Gold and silver
are mined chiefly In the Rocky
Mountains and the Sierra Nevada,
while by far the greater part Of the
copper comes from two small groupes
of mines, one near the south shore Of
Lake Superior and the other near the
source of the Mississippi river.
Pennsylvania ranks first among the
states in the production of coal.
Bituminous coal or soft coal is found
in the Allegheny plateaus and an
thracite or hard coal is found in the
rock folds in the northeastern part OF
Pennsylvania Because the. anthracite
coal region is SO near Philadelphia, it
makes this city the greatest manu-
featuring city Of the country. Pittsburg
is in the heart Of the bituminous coal
region. The coal is formed by the de-
caying Of the leaves and decayed
trees It's uses is for fuel and max
ing Illuminating gas.

He dug his potatoes and raised a big
ger crop than had been raised for OF
6 years on that farm When the time
came for the corn to be gathered his
father had to hire q man to come and
help James for he couldn't do 1t all
by himself. He also got more corn
than had been raised there the year
before.
When Halloween came James and
some Of his boy chums made JACKIE
lanterns and tick-tacks and other
things and they thought they had 8
fine time doing mischief.

both old and he does all he man do to
make them happy. He is said to be
one of the best farmers in the country
