NAYl did you ever make up your
mind not to do any more tip
ping? And have you noticed how
quickly you're forced to take the make
up on?
In a Big Town nowadays tipping
is as necessary as a traffic cop. Only
by the aid OF one or both can you
make any progress or get anywhere.
And the battle cry in each case 10

It's SO in this country today that be-
fore thoughtful man cushion-caroms
through the merry-go-round doors of a
swell hotel he has to leave his pocket
book on the sidewalk il he doesn't
want to lose 1t.
On the other side. across the Big
Pond. il hotel employee does you a
little favor and you slip him tuppeoce
ha'penny or a pfennig he will smile
back at you and be much obliged for
five minutes.
But in this country IL you tip any
body with a couple, of pennies the
chances are you'll wake up in the
nearest hospital and find kind-heart-
ed but not very pictorial nurse lean
Ing over you and whispering Keep

Hep Hardy is one OF those reckless
tip-tossers. He thinks that all silver

Hep hands out backsheesh like an
absent.minded farmer sowing grain.
Hep's trail through Big Town
looks as though the cashier of five
Ind ten cent store was walking to the
bank and had hole in the canvas
bag.
When Hep starts out to pound a
public road with his rowdy-cart all the
walters in every hash-foundry within

 Had it not been for the depression in the copper market the value of Alas ka's mineral product would have been considerably greater in 1914 than in 1918. The gold mining industry of the territory as a whole was prosperous during the year, as is made directly evident by the figures on output. but a more important item of progress Is the extensive dead work accomplished on large plans that have not yet reached a productive stage. No progress was made in coal mining. there being in 1914 only one small productive mine In the territory. and that in one of the Ignite fields. It Is expected that the new law providing for leasing of coal land in Alaska will lead to the ex- ploitation of the fields containing high grade coal The tin. gypsum. marble and petroleum mining industries of AL aska had a successful year.

There is a natural tendency to con Inan quasi autocratic system with tn. muddled manner Ill winch the nearly democratic system Tn Great Britain has been handling the war situation In a pessimlstic mood. Ii. G. Wells, the En- sIsh writer, says:
 IT the present government of Great Britain and the United States are the best sort of governments that demo- cracy can produce, then democracy is bound, if not at this time then the nex, Iy overcome and superseded by some form of authoritative state organiza- tion.'
 The trouble is not with the demo cratic system, but is rather racial. Fo example. republican France has shown a wonderful efficiency during the pres ent war, although admittedly not half as well prepared for it's outbreak as was Germany.
 France has. in the interval since the war started. put every able bodied man. who can be profitably used, al the front and under arms, and eact one of them has shown himself a singu- larly efficient soldier It has marshal. | led its industrial assets and has in-
 creased its facilities for the manufac. 1 ture of war materials infinitely faster
 than has England. At the presen
 stage of the war there are few pre-. I pared to state that France is demon strating any less efficiency than is Ger.

VALUE OF MINERAL PRODUCTION

Mining began in Alaska in 1880, and since that time the territory has pro- duced mineral wealth to the value of $26S, 100000 Of this $244,000,00 has
 been in gold, s19,SOO 900 in copper, $2,-
 251. 900 in silver, sS7O,OOO in coal, and
 the rest in tin. lead, quicksilver, mar ble, gypsum, petroleum, etc. Copper mining began in Alaska in 1901, and the total production is about 133,0O0,000 pounds.
 It is estimated that the value of the total mineral output of Alaska in 1914 is $19,24S,000, compared with $19,416,- 900 for 191S3. The preliminary figures on gold output for 1914 value of $15,- 900,000; in 1913 the value of s15,626,S13. Silver to the value of about $191 ,000 was produced in 1914, compared with s21s,9SS in 1913. Though the low price of copper since midsummer greatly curtailed the output of that metal, about 20,S50,000 pounds valued at about s2,S72,000, was produced in 1914, against 21,659,95S pounds valued at $3,357,293, in 1913.

The open doubts as to the sincerity of Germany in the matter of the sub marine warfare will doubtless be agaln revived by the sinking of the steamship the assurances of the German govern ment that unwarned attacks on passen- ger vessels would be discontinued, the attack on the Hesperian, an inoffensive vessel, bound from Liverpool to Mon treal with nothing aboard which might be construed as in the nature of con- traband, doubtless came with some thing of a shock to these who might be inclined to place credence in the representations of Germany. While it is by no means determined that Ger many is at fault in the matter owing to the uncertainty as to the true cause of the sinking. suspicion is bound to arise in the minds of people generally and will not be completely dissipated until such time as she shall be cleared from the charge. As stated in the dis patches this will be most difficul matter owing to the sinking of the yes sel in deep water and the burden O proof must rest largely upon the testi mony of the passengers.

 FOR SHOOTING

This Is war of artillery. Shells ana snrapnel ale being used on scale lar ln excess or the calculations of the most 1ar-seelng mIiltary experts of Eu rope. Tnat IS why Kitchener and rrencn are asking for more shells, ana stlll more shells; for great proportion of the E24 minute which this wal IS costing is being blown away by oul pig guns.
 To nre single shot from our biggest guns costs j. l,0O0, ana some idea of the expenditure of naval firing can be gathered from the fact that one famous pattleship could use up roughly 92O,O0O worth of ammunition per minute if she worked all her guns at full blast, as she would do if necessary. And to this huge outlay must be added the cost of the gun, remembering that the larg- est weapon has very short life. and is soon worn out. The most expensive gun we use is the l5-inch, though other big guns run up heavy ammunition bills. For instance s75 vanishes in flame and smoke every time 13.5 weapon is fired.
 The guns which expend G1,000 worth of ammunition every time they are fired are really wonderful pieces of artillery They can hurl ton weight of explo- sive shell over distance of thirty miles with the certainty of hitting any spot they aim at The power and velocity of the shot is such that on leaving the gun it has force enough to go straight through 57h inches of wrought iron.
 The 12-inch gun can eat up well over 100 worth of ammunition per minute For 9.2 inch it is approximately under
 ( 30; for a 7.5 inch under 920. and for a 6-inch about 912.-Tid- Bits.

ERADIcATING WEEDS.

Different Methods Suggested For Keep
ing Down the Top Growth.
Frepared by United States department Of
Agricultural
In fighting weeds II Is extremely Inn
portant to know how long they nat
urally live and their habits Of repro
duction. Weeds are divided into three
classes, according to their length Of
iife-annuals, biennials and perennials.
Some Of the most persistent weeds
are perennials--we eds which produce
each year underground parts which
i've over to the next year and produce
top growth. These underground parts
may be Of various kinds They may
consist of long, more or less horizontal
roots, as in the bull nettle, milkweed
and Canada thistle, or the underground
parts may consist Of root stocks or un-
derground stems, as in the case OF
quack grass. johnson grass and peren-
nial SOW thistle.
Among the ways that may be adopt
ed for keeping down top growth Of per-
enniai weeds are the following: Clean
cultivation. pasturing. growing smooth
er crops. frequent cutting with hand
hoe, spud or mower. and smothering
small patches with building paper or
other material.
In most cases cultivation Will have
to be relied upon to destroy perennials.
