HALF BILLION TONS OF COAL

A production between 565, O0O,-
600 and 575, 900, 900 short tons of
coal in the United States during
1913 is the official estimate Of the
United States Geological Survey,
an increase over the record break
ing production of 1912 Of 80, O00,-
900 to 40,0oO,0O0 ton. These fig
ures are given out by Edward w.
Parker, coal statistician of the sur
vey with the statement, however
that the coal mining industry. in
1913 lacked any spectacular fea-
lures, the increase, in other words
being normal and an index of the
general industrial activity of the
country. Of this increase about
100000 tons was in the produc-
tion of anthracite and the rest in
the output of the bituminous coal
mines. q.

FOOD A WORLD PROBLEM

According to Professor II. N.
Dickers1n Of the University col
lege. Edinburgh, the world is be.
ginning to feel the pinch of fuel
and food. The professor told the
scientists gathered at Birmingham
to attend the annual meeting of
the British Association For the
Advancement of Science that the
human race was in the position of
a family which had occupied the
same farm for centuries and had
so increased in numbers to out
grow the productiveness of the
place making removal to other
land necessary. Onlv in the case
of the human family there is no
means Of migrating to another
planet. Wheat acreage. this learn
ed gecgrapher tells us, is not keep
ing pace with the increase of popu-
lation, and "the crisis will be upon
Us before the end of the century"
The supply of coal will last less
than three. centuries. The only
course open to US, he says is stock
taking of our resour ces and a re-
distribution Of population with an
emphasis on the raising Of food.
While Professor Dickson docs not
say so his idea seems to be that az
a nation tells off so many men t.

SOME new YEAR DON'TS

Don't sprinkle salt on the tail of
temptation.
Don't try to get the better of
man who hasn't any.
Don't snore in church. It's mean
to keep others awake.
Don't be satisfied to pay as you
go. Save enough to get back.
D1nt' get married with the sole
idea that misery loves company.
Don't follow the beaten track
unless you are satisfied to remain
beaten. -..
Don't accept advice from man
who never offers you anything
else.
Don't expect Opportunity to
come to you with a letter of intro
duction.
Don't trust to luck. Nine-tentbs
of the people in the world guess
wrong.
Don't buy your friends. Thew
never last as long as those you
make yourself.
Don't envy the rise of others.
Many a man who gets to the top is
mere froth.
Don't greet Misfortune with a
smile unless you are prepared for a
one-sided Irritation.
DON'T make good resolutions I'M
less you constantly carry repair
kit with you.
DON'T place too much confidence
in appearances. Many a man with
a red nose is white all the way
through.
Don't forget in times of peace
to prepare for war. That's about
the only use some Of us seem to
have for peace.
Don't fail to have an object in
view. Many a man leads such an
simless existence that he could fire

4 MARVELLOUS TOWN

Some months ago French con-
Germ secured group of claims in
Humboldt county and started the
camp of Marvel. Immediately af-
ter they started erecting a mill ION

began building a town. The town
pretty well 60 7 pleted, Hthey next
brought over an aer oplane; with a
real French aviator. This was to
carry the mail over the mountains
they stated. There war nothing
slow about Marvel. 1t is said that
no effort had been made thus far to
determine il Marvel had any mar
v.lous deposits of ore, or even
produced ore Of a grade worth mill
ing.
One day the French aviator tried
out his $4,000 machine. She re-
fused to fly due, it is said, to the
high altitude. Without an airship
to carry postage stamps and parcel
post, Marvel would o. course be
pretty slow, and couldn't get along
very we'll, so that is the reason II
is asserted, that Marvels growth
came to rather an abrupt close. -
