Huron. :. D.. Jan. 5.-That South

opinlon confidently expressed by the
many Republican leaders who ROUND

the KEYNOTE Of the rally. which held
all-day sessions In the opera house
and listened to stirring speeches by
representatives OF the Republican
marty from every part Of the state.
The recen, organization OF some
local clubs by the supporters OF Sen

the TAFT adherents on a systematic

Governor Wilson yesterday took his
first walk on the Princeton university
campus since he became presidential
nominee and for awhile shook off the
cares of his campaign by assuming the
guise of football coach.
f. w. Estabrook of New Hampshire
says: Reports which have been coming
in to the Republican national headquart-
ers during the past ten days make it
practically certain that Mr.. Taft will

LARGE LIME PRODUCTION.
Nearly Three and Half Million Tons
Burned in 1911.

The production of lime in the United
States in 1911, according to report by
Ernest +. Burchard, just issued by the
United States geological survey, was
3.392,9l5 short tons, valued at $685.
054, as compared with 3,505,054 short
tons, valued at Sl4,0Ss 1880 in 1910. This
represents a decrease in quantity Of 49,
03a tons and in value of S39s0s5. The
average price ton in 1911 was S4,03,

crease of cent ton. The total number
Of producers reporting in 1911 was $50,
as compared with 1926 in 1910, a de-
crease of IS. This decrease in the num-
Der of producers was partly due to the
inactivity of small kilns operated by
farmers for burning lime for local use as
q soil stimplant and partly to the ten
dency of the industry toward concentra-
tion Of plants into fewer and larger
units The heaviest decrease in the mum
Der of producers was in Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Wisconsin. A few
states. among them Texas and Washing
ton, showed an increase in the number o.
producers. In 1911, "a states, including
Hawaii and Porto Rico reported the
production Of lime; in 1910 lime was pro-
duced in 43 states.
Pennsylvania Largest Producer.
The FIVE leading states in 1911 were, in

average price being 1910 ton. There
