ROOSEVELT WRITES
COUNTRY CLUB
Especial to the Silver State.)

SPOKANE. Wash, Nov 14.-De-
serving of the hearty support Of the
cities and people in general all over
the country is the farm betterment
movement to be launched at the first
annual meeting of the National Coun-
try Life congress in Spokane, sayA
Theodore Roosevelt in letter to
David Brown, chairman of the local
committee. The full text Of the letter
follows:
II understand that the purpose of
the first National Country Life con-
ligress for farm betterment, which is to
meet at Spokane in the last week OF
November, is to get from the practi-
cal men and women in all parts of the
country workable plans and ideas al
| to what can be done for the betterment
of conditions in the farming regions.
"You have exhausted two issues of
| thousands of copies of the National
Country Life commission report and
cannot too strongly express my feel
ing of the obligation the entire country
is under to the chamber Of commerce
of Spokane for its action in printing
this report, when congress, with
shameful Indifference to the interests
of the people, declined to print it.
"Many letters from all over the
country have been written to you max
ing urgent inquiry as to the best prac-
tical scheme for achieving the better
ment outlined in the commission g re-
port. Now you propose to get from
the men and women, best competent to
testify, the plans and ideas that the
communities ready to 60 forward in
work are prepared to submit. You
will thereby get the best thought that
our people can give and to formulate
it in such way that we may all Of Us
have it before US for the making Of
better homes, better schools, better
churches in the open country.
''In the farming districts we need
greater social opportunities for those
who live on the soil. AS basis, Of
course, we need better production, bet
ter roads, better ways of marking,
better methods of cooperation among
farmers, and then on this foundation
of improved material condition we
must strive to build higher superstruc-
ture of full social, intellectual and
spiritual life for the men and women
who live on the farms.
"In this matter the cities can help
and ought to help, and Spokane has
| oHo"u itS doiiity W lame JHc Icdu IN
helping. But it is, of course, the farm.
ers themselves who in the end must
give up the lead and the rest Of vi
must turn in and back them up and
help see their ideas successful.
cit is virtually important to get
workable ideas for consideration be
fore your congress. The men and
women who present such ideas in prac
teal fashion will enormously assist in
this work.
81 most heartily wish you we'll in
your undertaking for the advancement
of our common national good. It is 8
mighty task and you deserve the graft
tude of the country"

GREAT INCREASE SHOWN
IN NATIONS COAL PRODUCTION

The United States geological survey
has issued its annual coal chart, show
ing the production of coal by states
from the year 1914 to 1910. The fig
ures relate a wonderful history of
growth. In 1914 total of % tons
of coal was produced in Pennsylvania.
In 1915 the percentage of increase was
good but still only so tons were taken
out. BY 1925 over 100 tons were
mined in the two states producing. In
1850 the figure had reached 7,01S,lS1
tons. In 1876 it was 53,2s0,O 900 tons
At the end of the century it was 269,
6s4, ,027 tons. In 1905 it was 329, 1922
635 tons. In 1907, which it was sup
posed would remain the record year
for some time, the production was $780,
363,f24 tons, but in 1910 the enormous
total was reached of sol ,596,37S short
tons, production larger by far than
that of any other country in the world.
SO steady has been the increase in
American coal production that most
of the years have been rcord breakers.
The total production since 1914 has
been approximately eight and quar-
ter billion tons.
