Value of Waste Paper.

II is an interesting fact that waste
paper can be SO important a CONNER
cial factor. In Toronto. Canada. there
are 10000 tons of waste paper col
lected annually. For these there is
received about $780, 900. For just the
ordinary waste paper the sum OF $40
ton is paid. But for the better
grade of waste papers the price has
been known to run as high as $40 a
ton.

In the preliminary statement on the
accidents in coal mines published as a
Geological Survey press bulletin in
I June. 1910, the information regarding
the accidents in Missouri was erroneous
ly credited to former secretary of the
State Bureau of Mines. Acknowledge
ment should have been made to Mr..
George Bartholomaeus the present
secretary of the bureau. In 1909
there were A accidents, 21 fatal and
23 non-fatal. Of the fatal accidents
IA were due to falls of roof and coal,
8 to powder explosions, and to shaft
accidents. The death rate per 1000
men employed 2.2o and 178, 882 tons
were mined for each life lost.
An advance chapter of the United
States Geological Surveys annual re-
port, Mineral Resources of the United
States, calendar year 1909, by Ed
ward w. Parker. is now in preparation
and will be ready for distribution in
February.
The statistics of coal production for
1909 have been collected by the Uni
ted States Geological survey in coop
Grafton with the Bureau of the Census,
and the compilation of the replies to
the numerous and detailed inquiries
contained in the general census sched-
ule has delayed the publication of the
statistics far beyond the time at whi :h
the Geological Survey usually presents
them to the public. The thorough
nature of the work done, however, has
made the statistical results exception
ally complete and trustworthy. From

The use of mining machines for un-
dercutting coal in Missouri is almost
entirely confined to the thin beds
where machines of the long wall type
can be used to advantage. In 1909
there were 90 machines in use, of
which IA were long-wall, 18 punchers,
and chain breast, against 81 machines
of which 50 were long wall and 5
punchers in 1908. The machine
mined production increased from 49,
$50 short tons, or 14.47 per cent of
the total, in 1908 to 796, ,438 tons, or
21.2 per cent of the total in 1909.
But one coal producer in Missouri
reported the use of washing machinery
in 1909. Four jigs were employed
and 78, 100 tons of coal were washed
yielding 90, ,121 tons of cleaned coal

demand for Missouri coal is not likely
to.increase materially.
TO Missouri's coal production as
above given should be added a consid-
erable tonnage credited to Kansas.
The workings of the mines at Leaven-
worth, Kans., on the Missouri river,
extend under the boundary line into
Missouri territory, and the larger part
OF the production of Leavenworth coun-
ty, Kans., is, in fact, mined in Platte
Comfy, Mo. This probably amounts
to 100000 tons a year.
The number of men employed in
the coal mines of Missouri in 1909
was 9, 1873, against 8,988 in 1908, an
increase of 200. The quantity of coal
mined per man was $50 tons in 1908
and409 tons in 1909. There was no
serious interruption to mining opera
tions by strikes or suspensions, most of
the troubles that occurred being of
only few days duration.
Missouri coal fields and as long as these
more desirable fuels are available the

other fields. St. Louis procures its
fuel from the more accessible fields of
southeastern Illinois, and Kansas City
depends to large extent On Arkansas,
Kansas and Oklahoma for coal. But a
more potential factor in limiting the
demand for Missouri coal in the last
few years has been the notable increase
in the production of petroleum and
natural gas in the Mid-Continent field
of Kansas and Oklahoma. Natural gas
from eastern Kansas is now piped to
Kansas City, St. Joseph and Joplin,
Mo-, and to Atchison, Leavenworth
and other cities in Kansas. Oil from
the same district and from northern
Oklahoma is being extensively used
as fuel for manufacturing in Kansas

Coal Mining in Missouri in 1909.

Missouri reached its high tide Of
coal production in 1908, when "a total
of 4,237,587 short tons was produced
in the state. After that year there
was decreasing tendency to the low
record for recent years of 1917, ,315
tons in 1908, but in 1907 the state
shared in the general recovery from
the depression of the preceding year,
with an increase to 3,656,53O tons.
The value increased also from S., 444,-
9O7 in 1908 to Sc, 183, $50 in 1909.
The prospects for any marked in
crease in the production of coal in
Missouri are not favorable. Surround
ed as it is by other coal producing
states-Iowa on the north, Illinois and
Kentucky on the east, and Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Kansas on the south and
west-the output of the Missouri mines
is restricted to comparatively local
markets. Moreover the larger cities
of the state which are near the bound
ary lines draw their fuel supplies from

economy. A central plant should be
installed at the earliest possible NOM
ent, large enough for present needs to
which additions could be added as
needed. This is necessary without
any thought of enlargement.
Anticipating the growth that is
surely coming, girls dormitory should
be the next move. Even with our
present members the need of such
building is urgent. The building of
a girls dormitory would greatly relieve
the congested condition of the present
building. The expense of such a
building and equipment would not be
heavy when the great advantages of
the school are considered.
Harmony of the steadiest sort pre-
vailed throughout the meeting. En-
thusiasm ran high. Each one present
felt that the School of the Ozarks was
a success and each one stood ready to
do his best in furthering its interest.
Resolutions were passed, committees
ppointed, the old off GERS reelected
and the meeting adjourned.

Honest Clothing and the Tariff

Il isa Jump of the imagination which
could be accomplished only by your
ardent Free-Trader to charge misrep-
resentation in clothing up to the Tariff.
The man who will lie to a customer
and tell him an article is all wool when
1t is half cotton. is going to be Just as
much of liar under Free-Trade as
under Protection. The customer isn't
going to be any more expert in detect
ing the deception under cne policy
than under the other. The merchant
who will deceive his customer for 50
would deceive him just as readily for
$1-and probably feel that he had to
deceive just twice as many. 1t ought
to be possible for the customer to
accept the merchants word, the mer-
chant, the wholesalers the manufact-
urer'S, and so on from end to end of
the deal. But unfortunately that isn't
the case. There are some folks, even
in the clothing business, who won't be
honest unless the law compells them
to. Other countries have had the
same experience, and sought to remedy
atlaw. In Germany the manufacturer,
wholesaler, or merchant who misrepre-
sents his goods, either personally to
customer or through the newspapers,
is liable to prosecution. The result is
that the man who buys in German
store knows exactly what he is getting
most of the clothing is labeled with
the exact percentage OF wool and cot
ton. A similar law in this country
would be boon to the honest mer-
chant and would put the dishonest
one out of business; which wouldn't
be such bad thing.

An Extra Session?

Champ Clark and the Democratic
leaders and newspapers are demanding
an extra session of the new congress to
revise those schedules in the new
tariff law which are supposed to affect
the cost of living. Nobody seems to
know just how such a revision should
be made or what articles should be
Immediately relieved of the tariff taxes
now levied but, according to the
Democrats, something should be
done' and they want to do it. They
want that something done quickly,
so they can point with pride" at the
apparent results. They are not point
ing in any way at the results of their
last tariff tinkering. Somehow they do
not enthuse over what they once
accomplished but are overly enthusi-
astic about doing something at this
time. They do not know what to do
but hope to get together in congress
the new Democratic representatives.
and senators before the regular time
for the new congress to assemble. It
is well to bear in mind the fact that
The tariff will be revised by statesmen
who believe in a tariff for protection,
not those who have contended for
many years for tariff for revenue only.
