Think happy thought, O friend, in sunny weather! 'Tis easier when the skies are deep and blue. Let thy heart and the robins sing together, And thy clear eyes be tranquil as the dew. So rich a store of memories shalt thou gather, So tranquil grow thy spirit and thy brain, Then when the winds blow fog and stormy weather, Thou shalt have sunshine though the earth have rain.

Value and Supply of Mineral
Products,

The value Of the mineral production
of the United States now exceeds So =
500, 000,0 900 a year, according TO the
United States Geological Survey
Though this value falls far below that
of the country's farm products, the
magnitude and scope of our mineral
industry may be best measured by
comparing our own mineral produc-
tion that of other countries, no one of
which can compete with Us in abund-
ance or variety of mineral resources
The United States mines nearly 40 per
cent of the worlds output of coal and
produced 50 per cent of the petroleum
in 1918. OF the more essential metals,
40 per cent of the worlds output of
iron ore is raised from American
mines, and the smelters of the United
States furnish the world with IS per
cent of its copper and at least 30 per
cent of its lead and zinc. These are
the raw materials on which has been
founded Il great metallurgical industry,
but on which can be built much more
extensive chemical and me tai working
industries.
