Leads World In Asbestos
Manufacture,

In 1911 the United States excelled all
other countries of the world in the con
version Of raw asbestos into manufac
tured products, but very small per
centage-less than l per cent of the
asbestos used-was mined in this
country, by far the larger part being
imported from Canada. The total pro
duction in the United States for 1911
according to the United States Geolog
ical Survey, was valued at $ll9,9 35
the raw material imported from Cana
ada was valued at more than eleven
times that amount. Canada's produc
ton of asbestos in 1911 was worth
nearly $3, 900 900.

Stump Problem Not Formidable,

AS most Of the stump lands of Wis
consin at this time are in the upper
counties, the following will be con
strued as applying particularly to the
section.
AT the start there are two elements
affecting the stump question in the
upper counties that are not generally
understood. One of these is the fact
that, being an old forest in which the
previous growth and decay Of trees had
deposited a considerable depth Of
humus, the present trees grew with a
root system fiat and just under the sur
face, following the line of least re
sistence and only TO the depth necessary

Centerville, March 2.-Strong en-
dorsenent Of the Taft administration,
approval Of the laudatory words OF
Theodore Roosevelt in regard to Will
liam H. Taft in 1908, and opposition
to the third term We're expressed in
the resolutions of the Appanoose- coun-
ty republican convention this after
noon. Of the 1877 delegates more than
$50 were enthusiastic TAFT men and
the delegations of II to the district
and state conventions were instructed
to support delegates favorable to his
denomination. DR.. E. E. Bamford OF
this city, was commended to the dis
trict as one of it's delegates and the
delegation instructed for him. The
been sending Cummins delegations to
county conventions for some years
were almost unanimously represented
by Taft men today, and the 46 dele
gates from Centerville had only half
dozen anti-Taft men among them.
Cummins sentiment seemed to be al
most an absent quantity, with what
few anti-Taft delegates there were
mildly for Roosevelt.
Resolutions Adopted. .-. .
The following resolutions were
adopted by the convention.
THE republicans of Appanoose

OF William Fl. Taft so commends it.

be reelected to add to the splendid
achievements already to his credit.
"This convention considers it a
trait of President Taft especially note
worthy that one so intimately &C
quainted with his temperament and
character as was Theodore Roosevelt
could so accurately forecast the adj
ministration his chosen successor
would give the country. We refer to
the statement of the former president
in the campaign text book of 1908.

the words so readily recognized as
applying to President Taft: .
"'To flaming hatred of injustice.
to scorn of all that :, is base and
mean, to hearty sympathy with the
oppressed, he unites entire disinterest-
edness. courage both moral and physi-
cal of the very highest type, and
kindly generosity of nature that makes
him feel that all of his countrymen
are in very truth his friends and
brothers, that their interests are his,
