PRODUCES $6,25S,726 IN MINERAL
Arkansas Leads in Production of Aluminium and 0ilStOne Material.

Arkansas is first among the states in the production of two minerals. bauxite and novaculite, the former being the ore of aluminium and the latter the source of the larger part of the oilstones produced in the United States. The principal min eral product of the state, however, Is coal, the annual value of which constitutes over 50 per cent of the total. The total value of the min eral products of Arkansas in 1912 was Si,258,726, against S5,86l,S22 in 1911, according to Edward w. Par ker Of the United States Geological Survey. The coal production was 2,lO0,Sl9 short tons, valued at S3.- 5S2, Io9 m 1912, against 2,i06. .7S9 tons. valued at $3,396,S49 in 1911. The cOals or Arkansas are generally of high grade, particularly in the east ern part of the field, where they approach anthracite in character The seml-anthracite of Arkansas is an excellent domestic fuel. reach ing markets as far as Kansas Cilv Mining conditions are exacting however, and the cost of labor is high. Moreover, competition with petroleum and natural gas and with the more cheaply mined coal from Illinois and Alabama on the east and with Colorado and New Mexico coals on the west has kept the coal mining industry of Arkansas practi- cally at a standstill for the last ten years.
 Bauxite is second among the min eral products of the state. Tn i9i9 the stone quarries of Arkansas fnr- nished products valued at s5t3SIl exclusive of novaculite and of lime stone burned for lime. Tn 1911 the quarry products were valued at $526,352.

HOME CANNING WILL. KEEP DOCTOR AWAY
Patent Medicine LaXativeS Too Often Used, Instead of Fruit and Veg etableS, Says Agricultural
 Department.

| Washington, Nov. 9.-the balanced ration of many Americans today is made up something as follows:
 Bread, butter, eggs, patent
 medicines, laXatives, meat anC
 fish, potatoes.
 Many Americans customarily suf- fer from one of the following com plaints: Indigestion, constipation rheumatism. A simple change of the daily menu might go a long way to remedy these ailments, according to the bureau of plant industry $ specialist in charge of canning club work. This specialist recommends change to a menu more in keeping with Natures plan, something as l follows:
 Bread, butter fruit, vegetables,
 greens, meat, fish, eggs.
 He recommends that every fami- ly provide a diet of fruit and vege- tables for every day in the year. That would do much to eliminate the need for patent medicine laxa- tives that figure so prominently in many Americans bill of fare. If every home kept on hand enough canned products so that there might be a can of fruits, a can of greens and can of vegetables for every day of the winter, there would be little need for the laXa- tives now so regularly bought from the corner drug store. There would also be great economy in the substi- tuition of an inexpensive food for more expensive ones.
 Cuts Cost of Living.
 More home canning, done at the proper season, would enable the av- craze family always to have the proper quantity of canned products, and would save an astonishing amount of food that goes to waste every year. It is estimated that more than 50 per cent of all the vegetables, greens, fruits and ber- ries that grow in this country go to waste and are actually lost to those who need them. That is simply be- cause housewives have not learned to care for these surplus products and to make them available for the winter months by canning.
 That home canning may reduce the cost of living is not generally appreciated. Even those who are accustomed to use a supply of can ned goods in the winter, do not realize that they sometimes pay transportation on goods from dis tant parts of the country, when there is a surplus of the same pro- duct in their own vicinity during the summer months which might have been saved by home canning.
 U. s. Laboratory Is a Kitchen.
 Practical experiments have been made in the laboratory of the bu- reau of plant industry's office of farm management, from which ev- cry home where canning is possible might profit. This laboratory is not what is known as a modern well equipped laboratory" Tn fact, it does not look like a laboratory at all. It contains simply what every average home may have, and is nothing more nor less than an everyday kitchen. Here recipes that are applicable for every home have been thoroughly tested and are furnished to any housewife up on application.

Why SalVeS Can't Cure Eczema

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur given up by scientists many different salves have been tried for skin diseases. But it has been found that these sa1ves only clog the pores and cannot penetrate to the inner skin below the epidermis where the eczema germs are lodged This-the quality of penetrating probably explains the tremendous suc- cess of the we'll known liquid eczema remedy, oil of wintergreen, thymol. gly- cerine. etc, as compounded in D.D.D Prescription.

New York, Feb. The greatest
problem confronting base ball man
ayers the coming season is the ques-
ton of pitching material. Hardly a.

respect than their rivals. And for
this happy condition of affairs Nc
Graw alone deserves praise.
McGraw is one of the very few
major league managers, who plan
several years ahead, and therein lies
the secret of his success. 1t is not
his custom to sit back and wait for
the minor leagues to develop his
pitching stars. He believes in grab
bling a youngster Of promise, no mat
ter how green, whenever opportun-
ity offers. In this he is guided by
the advise of scouts and agents. If,

that suggests he may eventually
make good, McGraw farms him out
to some club where he can keep An

5000, 900 Acres Reclaimed.
Since 1907 100000 acres of
swamp land in Minnesota have been
reclaimed at cost Of $3.50 an acre,
according to the report of the Min
nesota drainage commission, just
out. The report says reclaimed land
now is worth from SIS to $50 an
acre.
The statistics of the commission
show that there are yet 100000
acres of swamp land in the state
which the commissioners state; should
be drained as soon as possible and
rendered available for agriculture.
According to the report, when all of
the drainage bitches are completed
there will be SIS miles of graded
roads built along them.
The financial statement of the
commission shows that the original
appropriation of $4,000 for the con-
struction of drainage bitches has
been doubled by private subscription,
and balance of $204,000 stands to
the credit of the drainage fund. In
the report the commission strongly
recommends that the drainage Of
swamp lands in the state be contin-
ued until all land now useless has
been reclaimed.

visions of bill introduced by the

MACK'S WEEKLY SPORT LETTER

: tract calling for handsome raise in

leader says, "Any ball player is liable
to make an error"
In 1911 "Red'' Murray went
through the entire series with the
Athletics and failed to connect for
one single solitary, safe bingle. The
winter league sports were betting
even money that McGraw would tie
the can to Red John, but he didn't.
Murray not only played brilliant
game throughout the National league
season of 1912, but was one of the
bright particular stars Of last falls
big games. r.. y
And when Merkle pulled that fam
Gus "bone'' in not touching second,
play that cost the team a pennant,
what happened? Instead of firing the
first baseman, McGraw raised his
wages, and Merkle's record of the

Is it any wonder the rank and file

INCREASE IN REAL ESTATE.
Assessors Complete Work of valuing
Property in 1st and End Wards.

The city assessors have completed the
work ,of making the assessment of the
First and Second wards and the cards
now being copied onto the assessment
roll show that the valuation of the
property in these wards will show a.
fair increase over the values set last
year. There have been few reductions
where inequalities have been shown
but for the most part the full value
plan of assessing has been followed.
The total Of the two wards will be con-
siderablly in excess of last year. The
assessors are now at work in the Third
ward and they hope to complete this
ward by the first Of June. Personal
property is being assessed at the same
time as real estate this year and the
assessors are demanding early reports
instead of waiting for the taxpayer to-
return schedules at his convenience
The fist meeting of the board of re-
view Will be held in June and it is ex-
pectsd that the board will be kept dc
,cideu'y busy this year.
