The Cement Industry of 1910.
The statistics of cement pro-
duction in 1910, as reported by
Ernest F. Burchard, of the
United States Geological Survey,
indicate that the cementindustry
ranks within the first eight ex-
tractive industries in the United
States, the value Of the cement
produced being exceeded only
by the value of the coal, pig
iron, petroleum and gas, clay
products, copper, gold and stone.
On the first Of January, 1911,
according to responses to tele-
graphic requests sent by the
Survey to the larger cement
companies, it was apparent that
the Portland cement industry
had made a new high record in
1910, and it was then estimated
by Mr.. BurchaId that the pro-
duction for the year might reach
Is, 900, 900 barrels. Few other
estimates ventured this limit and
that it has been exceeded by
more than half a million barrels,
as is shown by the following sta
tistics, will doubtless prove sur
prising to nearly everyone close
ly in touch with the cement in
dustry.
The total quantity of Portland,
natural, and puzzolan cements
produced in the United States
during 1910 was 76, 1884, CTS bar
rels, valued at 500, O52, TIL. Com
pared with 1909, when the pro
duction was 65, $50, 715 barrels,
valued at $53, $40, 563 the year
1910 showed an increase of 49,
244, $50 barrels, or 1873 per cent,
in quantity, and of $14, 442, 208,
the largest ever recorded, and
the fact that the increase in
value was proportionately higher
indicates that trade conditions
were slightly more satisfactory
than during 1909.

Hill Top, Jan. 31.--President j.
AFTER of the w. Va. Seminary and
College, the Baptist institution loca-

to the denomination throughout the
state for funds to carry on the
work.
The appeal brings to light the at
titude Of indifference to the fate Of
the school which is far from being
|creditable to the great body Of Bap-
fists in the state.
The appeal reads:
Brethren, friends, workers for the

If. any, have not experienced alarm
on the announcement Of case OF
diphtheria in the community. There
are not many localities in the State
I which have not-beea- stirred up by
the appearance Of scarlet fever in
its midst. But who, excepting the
victim or those near to him, gives
more than a passing thought to tu-
berculosis, which causes more deaths
than all the epidemic diseases COM
bined?
The delay Of the State in taking
active measures to protect It's citi-
zens from their greatest enemy is
|eXplicable only on the ground of
the insidious, but none the less eff
fective, manner in which it garners
its toll Of lives. 1t is probably be-
cause it does it's work so quietly
that tuberculosis is allowed to con-
tinuc its fatal career. 1t is no re-
spector Of persons nor positions. The
rich. the poor; the white, the black;
the mighty, the humble: all are
crowded into it's capacious NAV to
satisfy an Unsuitable appetite.
Why?
1t is not because tuberculosis can
not be prevented. 1t is not because
it can not be cured in its early
stages. And it is most assuredly not
because it is not dangerous.
The state provides for the care Of
it's insane. it's deaf, dumb and blind:
it looks after the welfare Of it's
paupers and makes provisions for
the treatment Of those injured in
its mines; it engages itself in many
other worthy enterprises looking to
the health, happiness and prosperity
Of those within its borders. But, |
strange to say, it gives no heed to |
the greatest single enemy of health,
the most malignant destroyer OIL
happiness, the strongest bar to pros
perity.
The conservation Of human life is,
we take it, far superior to the con-
servation Of natural resources. The
establishment and maintenance Of a
tuberculosis Sanitarium would be of
greater benefit to the people and
bring larger returns to the State
than a revision Of the tax laws or
any measure or measures having for
their end a reduction in the cost Of
government.
Will our legislators rise to the oc-
casion and enroll themselves among
these who love their fellow men?
