IOWA MINERAL INDUSTRY.
Last Year i'm Hawkeye
State Greatest i'm It's History.

The Iowa Geological Survey in
cooperation with the United States
Geological Survey has compiled the
statistics of mineral production in
Iowa for the year 1912. The value
of the output was $22,910,066,
which is higher than any previous
figure of record. The year 1910 pre-
viously held the record, the value
been $22,744,572. The value for
1912 exceeds that for 1911 by ST.
790,955. AS in previous years, coal
was in 1912 the leading mineral
produced. It's value at the mines
was $13,152,0SS, which is fifty-sey-
en- per cent of the total value of the
mineral industry of the state. The
five leading coal producing counties
in order of rank were Monroe, Polk,
IAppanoose, Mahaska and Dallas.
These same counties held similar
rank in 1911. The average price of
coal at the mine was $3.50 ton,
which is the highest average price
on record in Iowa. The average
number of men employed in coal
mining was 1870.
The value of clay and clay pro-
ducts was $4,524,492, which exceeds
the figure for 1911 but is less than
for 1910 when the record value of
$o,335,036 was reached. OF the to-
tai value, drain tile contributed
$2,293,OS4 and common brick ST.
017,097. In the production of clay
and clay products Webster county
with ten producers ranked first,
Cerro Gordo county with seven pro-
ducers, second; Polk county with
eleven producers, third, and Wood
bury county with three producers,
fourth. These four counties contri-
buted sixty per cent Of the total val
ue of the clay industry.
The value of the cement sold in
Dy tic Pldlllo III 1--we
the handsome figure of $2,79O,396.
This is an increase of nearly fifty
per cent over the value of 1911,
which was s1,SS1,253, With three
modern plants of large capacity and
with an abundance of excellent raw
material available larger and larg-
er amounts of cement may be conf
IDENTIFY expected.
The figures for stone and lime
and for sand and gravel are larger
for 1912 than for any previous
year. The value of the stone and
lime was $99S,236 and the sand and
gravel $563,409. A large part OF
the stone was used for concrete and
railroad ballast. Lee county pro-
duced more than one,third of the
total output. This was due to a
considerable extent to the large
amount of limestone used by the
Mississippi Power Company in the
construction of the Keokuk dam.

CHEAPER MEATS.
Buying of Meats the Important
Problem Under Present
Day Prices.

In the Woman's Home Compan-
ion a retail butcher writes an arti-
Gle entitled Reducing the Meat
Pill" in which he shows how peo-
pie who buy the high priced cuts
don't get the best meat. He says
that some of the cheapest meats
are the best. He takes an itemized
weekly meat bill of $4.63 and shows
item by item, how that bill can be
reduced to 1921 just by using
cheaper cuts which he says are bet
ter cuts. After dealing with the
various kind of steaks, in which, by
the way, he tells about the steak
that the butcher eats himself, he
goes on, as follows, about roasts
and chops:
"A roast of beef costing a dol
lar of dollar and a halt at the pres
ent time is not much; hungry and
healthy family will probably finish
1t in one meal. You can still enjoy
good roast beef, and surely for less
money, only buy the right cut. From
past observation the writer has
found that nine out of ten custom
ers ask for the first cut of the rib
roast. OF course they are the most
expensive cuts. The fifth, sixth, and
shoulder ribs are hardly in demand,
and the butcher has a hard job sell
ling them. These are not only con-
siderably cheaper to buy but are
richer in nourishment and food val
ue. When buying one of the three
or four ribs of beef, say, for in
stance, weighing five pounds, you
will find that you hardly have suffi-
cient meat left after it is carefully
trimmed and the bone taken out.
first cut on the rib and the two last
cuts is at least six cents per pound;
and when you ask for a shoulder
rib roast, ask the butcher to insert
piece of suet in the center of the
roast, or, if he has time, to lard it
with thin pieces CT fat, Another
good piece of meat for roast beef is
the top sirloin, which is not so
cheap but is recommended because
it has no waste.
THE next important item on the
meat bill is chops, either lamb, pork
or veal chops. Lamp chops, howev-
er, are the kind mostly demanded
and of course the demand is for loin
and rib chops, the most expensive.
There is the same solution as with
steaks-buy shoulder chops, they
cost less and are sweeter. This
same principle again applies to
pork chops. The shoulder chops are
very sweet and tender, and the but
cher will sell them for less; but
/ very few people know about them. =

"BABY MINE" next
SATURDAY NIGHT
Great Theatrical Success Coming
to Decorah's Beautiful
Theatre.
PLAY Is FILLED WITH
COMICAL SITUATIONS.
Notable New York and London Sue.
cess Will be Seen by Decor
ah Theatre-GOers This
Week.

II VIII Oe sOou news TO the people
of this section, especially those in
the country, to learn that an after
noon matinee production of Baby
Mine has been arranged for, and
the great play will be seen in De-
corah both afternoon and evening.
next Saturday.
In presenting the Margaret
Mayo comedy, Baby Nine" VIM.
A. Brady, under whose direction it
is produced, calls attention to the
fact that it not only ran for an en-
tire year at Daly's Theatre, New
York, and over year at Sir Charles
Wyndham's Criterion Theatre in
London, England, playing to capa-
city houses nightly, where so much
anti-American prejudice exists,
still, they fairly searched for ad-
jectives to praise this worthy laugh
provoking American play, Baby
Mine, which is sending a gale Of
laughter around the world.
The plot of Baby Mine" was sug-
gested to Miss Mayo through the
reading of an article in a Chicago
newspaper to the effect that mar
ried women of that town frequent
ly deceived thei. husbands by PALM
ing off infants from founding asyr'
lrms as their own offspring, aEd
that the husbands would go though
life proudly, innocent of the decep-
tion.
Why shouldn't BABY Mine" be
a big success, pronounced sue
cess, with such genuine material
as an utter laugh and fun maker?
There is everything to the play to
warrant the general opinion that it
is the greatest ever, and this is
going some" when we recall
"Charley's Aunt" and TOO Much
Johnson" and a couple of other
comedy plays that earned fame.
and made records. But Baby
Mine is the greatest of them all,
and will enjoy long life and world
wide popularity.
Ask the opinion of anyone who
has seen this side-splitting comedy,
and who will see it again and then
again if possible. Fun Mirth!
There is no end of it. 1t Is contin-
uous riot and scream, and even the
young and unmarried people quick
| ly recognize the possibilities and
realisms of every situation. 1t is
really education and an intuition of
what the young wife experiences in
married life before and after JOY
Gus motherhood.
Yes, it brings back the limit OF
happy moments of the married man,
when he is informed that he has be-
come a father, and is suddenly AVA
kened to new responsibilities that
are his, and which he cheerfully as
sumes. Baby Mine," Baby Mine.-
1t strikes most of us deeply, and
the fun, laughter and intense de-
light of the audience as the play
goes on, best tells the tale of the
success that will follow Baby
Mine the world over.
