Mining Is Profitable as Shown By
 Dividends

That mining at present is in the most profitable stage of it's existence is evidenced by the reports made 10 Mining and Engineering World tN American mines and works and Oth- CT compaies which look to mining for their profits. These reports show that 1O7 of these companies have paid dividends so far this year totalling $41.132.91l To date these companies have to their credit divi- Gend payments aggregating 6,532.- 1SS. When it is considered that this does not include dividends paid by companies operating coal and iron properties, nor of those companies producing other mineral substances, il is readily seen that mining is one of Americas most profitable indus
 tries. There are other companies operating mines which do not give cut reports. but which make resular distributions to stockholders. In ad
 dition there are d great many pri- vately owned mines which yield sub stantial profits to their owners.
 In classifying the various reports made to Mining and Engineering World it is found that Of the 107 companies mentioned above, 24 op- crate copper properties. During the four months of1914. these companies paid out dividends amounting to Sll,115,S11. Since incorporation, div idends totalling $i09,S60,S0 have been paid on a combined issued cap ital of s265. .5S1.715.

The Cauiflower Mininq Company

The property of this company has again been sold for s6,000.000. As this is the third time it has been sold for this amount, the total will aggregate about s1S000,0 900, more or less. One of the directors stated that the shares were worth s13 per share, but as some one reminded him, that many people were super
 sttious regarding this number, the figures were immediately reversed to s3l. and of course. these figures make a big additional value of the stock, and look bigger in every way, and especially as d grand total. Probably the mine too will be sold for an increased figure next time. Its very little use dlly- dallying around measly s6,OOO,0O0 all the time, but the brains of the director ate of this company are wonderfully made and capable of wranging with any figures, irrespective of the large ness of them l have not yet received direct word from the mines as to the additional millions of tons blocked out of an atmOspherical, etherial or sulphide nature. However. it can be taken for granted that the additional tonnage will be very large and of value and kind to meet any demand or emergency. The Cauli- flower is a great property, sure.

CHANGED SCHEDULEAT
"Y" PLEASES SENIORS

The change in the schedule of SEN
ior classes at the "Y" seems to be one
that will prove popular. There were
80 men out to class last night and
when it was announced to them that
the floor was theirs for four nights a
week for regular class work they were
very much pleased. Some men have
found it almost an impossibility to
come to class two nights a week, and
since the arrangement has been made
where they may come any of the four
nights there will be more men who
will receive real benefit from the
classes this year because every one
can come at least two out of the four
nights a week.

out of doors, the emphasis placed on
the point of contact between teacher
and child, the organization of parent
teacher clubs-these and other limo
vations have gone far to make the
school room more attractive to the av'
erage scholar and to make school days
more congenial.
THE one weak spot in our educa-
tional system is the home. The sym
pathetic and intelligent cooperation of
the home with the teacher and scholar
IS needed in order that the child may
get the best results from study and
school discipline. When parents give
as much careful thought to the train
ing and development of their children
as is given to the cultivation of flowers
and the breeding of stock, there can be
no doubt that we shall have better re-
suits from the school room. Excellent
as the work of the teacher is, and
splendid as are the provisions made
for the instruction Of the boys and
girls, it will only be when the fathers
and mothers back of the boys and
girls recognize the fact that the most
important work in life is the proper
training of their children in the school
room. The work is too big for the
teacher alone. 1t needs the careful
and continuous help of the parent"
Warns Against Cisarets.
Pagan warned the boys against the
use of cigaTets, tobacco and strong
drink: He said: On the ladder of
success the rungs are not made of
cigarets, but of boys of strong char
acter."
Noodles" told the poor boys not
TO worry. Everyone knows every
diamond was rough once" he said,

work
you will leave the school soon and
start on the preface OF your career in
the business world. You are starting
after your first position. Here are the
three things that will make you:
Cleanliness. honesty. being a man of
your word. And here is what will
break you: Drinking, smoking, chew
ing, going to bed late at night.
There is one terrible habit that l
want to warn all you boys about, and
that is the cigaret habit. Do you know
that for every man, woman and child
in the United States today there are
126 cigarets? Now, everyone
knows there are lots of men and wo-
men and boys who do not smoke cigar
cts, so you can imagine what a lot of
the notwithstanding things are smok-
ed by the people who do have the
habit. The cigaret has well been man,

State Officers Endorse.
The highest officials in the state OF
Illinois see in the Christmas ship a
powerful instrument for the realiza-
ton of the American dream of univer

says: 1T is an instrument more pro-
life in it's Christian potentialities than
all the armored fleets in the world. 1t

Abraham Lincoln to the world should

Lieutenant Governor Barratt O'Hara
is deeply touched at the appeal to
children TO sacrifice something that
the other little children might be

dren can carry happiness to 100000
of their unfortunate little brothers and
sisters, they will have accomplished
something for which their elders have
struggled a lifetime in vain" he said.
Attorney General p. J. Lucey gives
the ship his cordial endorsement, and
said: Surely the idea of carrying a
