They are on the trail also Of wealthy
banker, better known even than Allen

These two men who pleaded guilty
and were fined Monday, are under sub

grand jury. Their attorney denies, how.
ever, that they have any agreement
with the government to make valuable

PRODUCTION or LINE IN 1910
Slight Decrease in Tonnage, But In
crease in Value of Output.

The Production of Lime in 1910"
by Ernest f. Burchard. has just been
issued by the United States geological
survey as an advance chapter from
Mineral Resources of the United
States" The total production of lime
in 1910, as reported to the survey, was
3,4S1 ,7S0 short tons, valued at $13,S94,-
962, compared with 3,4S4,974 short
tons, valued at $13,S46,O72, in 1909
This represents decrease in tonnage
Of 1874 tons and an increase in value
of $4S,S90 Owing partly to the in
activity of a number of small kilns
operated by farmers to obtain lime for
local use as a fertilizer, and partly to
the abandonment of old and wornout
kilns, there was apparently large
decrease in the number of producers
reporting to the survey.
Few mineral products have so wide
variety of uses as lime. Nearly half
the lime manufactured in the United
States is used as a structural material,
and the remainder, amounting to about
1,750,000 tons, valued at about $5,50O,-
600 is used for chemical purposes.
Lime is burned with number of
different fuels Coal is used most ex
tensively by plants in the United
States at present, followed in order
by wood, coke, producer gas, natural
gas, and OIL A large variety of mix
lures is also employed, such as coal
and coke, coal and wood, coke and
wood, coke and shavings, and shaw
ings and manure.
1t is probable says Mr.. Burchard,
that if wood were universally abun-
dant it would be more generally used

GOVERNMENT AID FOR CATTLE
WHY NOT A LITTLE FOR man

The federal government, which is
able to support a twenty-million-dollar
department of agriculture and to issue
Farmers Bulletins in editions of mil
lions, is entirely too poor to issue the
valuable public health bulletins of tie
public health service in editions Of
more than few thousands. That II
cannot afford a department of health
goes without saying The national
government cannot afford to give to
the health of its citizens the attention
that it gives to live stock Most of US
cannot help feeling more interest ia
the health and welfare of human be-
ings than In that Of cattle and hogs,
This, we admit, is unstatesmanlike.
Yet, after all, is not human being
even a child-worth something? Not
so much as an Alderney cow, of course,
but still something enough to justify
the expenditure of a few cents to save
the life of the child where dollars are
spent to save the life of the COW? 1t
is our possibly misguided belief, says
The Journal of the American Medical
Association that it is worth at least
this much; and this must be our apol-
ogy for offering a plan for utilizing
some of the agricultural department
publications in the prevention of di-
sease among human beings. We has
ten to add that the added expense for
paper and typesetting would be in
finitesimal; we do not believe that the
interests of the live stock will be
jeopardized.
We have before US Farmers Bulle-
tin on tuberculosis in farm animals,
which begins with section on the
Mature Of the Disease" We read:
Tuberculosis is contagious, it may
not attract much notice from the
owner of the cattle, as the disease is
slow to develop and COW may be af.
fected for several months etc, Our
suggestion would be to insert Tin brae-
kets, so that attention would not be
too seriously diverted from the cattlel

The association has 200 boxes of
prize winning fruit from the fourth
national apple show and this will be
made into sweet cider, in addition to
which the drinking list" is to in
clude chocolate, tea, coffee, punch and
lemonade, also all kinds of pastry and
sandwiches. There will be programs
Of gymnastic acts and an aquatic earn
ival throughout the celebration period.
The committee in charge, headed by
IC. H. Weeks, also promises plenty uf
noise.
Proprietors of the principal hotels
and restaurants are continuing their
arrangements for the most pretentious
celebration in the history of the city.
Every orchestra and professional solo

totoc county lands on the tax books
from 11O to 1873 pc rcent of its actual
value. and railroads on the tax books

found by the federal court.
OF course, if the farmers had been

maybe there would have been a more
equitable distribution of the expenses
of the government, and this great vail
coming up from the people would not

to cause him to lose sufficient sleep
that he would decide to abolish many
of the educational institutions, and
say to the people that eighth grade
schools are good enough for your chill
dren, and we will have great uni
versity for the few
In the same issue of the paper that
we find this lecture to the excise board
we find also letter addressed to a
certain newspaperman in this state
who seems to have conceived the idea
that we have too many county officials
and that there could be saving made
to the taxpayers by a revision of the
law creating the various county Off
cials. He Immediately goes the news
paperman one better and says that he
is in favor of abolishing some state
Offices also, and then uses this Ian
guage: Il have said and | here re-
peat that if it were possible to place
the management of the state under
control of single man possessing bus
mess, and executive ability, that we
could have just as effective govern
ment as we now have at saving to
the taxpayers of the state to the ex-
tent of 20 per cent of the amount now
spent for state purposes.
Now some Aiken" who is hunger

red ink at the top of column of the
Great Religious Daily" should come
forward at once, try to abolish all the
Offices of the state, except that of gov
ernor, and grant him the power to

than coal. Lime can generally be
burned more slowly and at a lower
temperature with wood than with other
fuels. The lower the temperature at
which lime is burned the better its
quality will be.
On account of the rapid decrease in
the wood supply there is considerable
interest in the possibility of utilizing
producer gas for burning lime. 1t is
r ported that under the most favor
able conditions one kiln at st. Louis
made 312 pounds Of lime to ! pound of
coal, using producer gas, as compared
with an average of "a pounds of lime
to / pound of the same coal for coal
burned lime. The same manufacturer
reports making as high as AZ pounds
of lime at times, and others Lave had
as good success.

she is niece of Governor Harmon, of
Ohio and is worth $4,000 in her own
right. Young Lantz has been trav-
cling salesman for a number OF years
and until recently was unusually sue
cessful He is confined in the county
