 The district is fully worthy of thorough and systematic investiga- tiou, and diligent prospecting will undoubtedly lead to the discovery of numerous deposits Of molybdeD- ite.
 In the first half of 1915. molyb- denite concentrates were produced from a mine near Empire, Colorado. This Is the first American mine to be extensively developed for mclybdenite.
 Molybdenite is used for the man ufacture of Molybdeum metal, erro-Molybdenum, Molybdic acid Molybdate of Ammonia and other chemlcal comQoundS.

Can Preserve Oranges Now
From the Columbus Dispatch.

ti'-
At last it is claimed a process of can
ming oranges has been discovered-one
that will preserve the juices of the fruit
for any length ." time. and which will
hold the tissues In their natural form.
If it is true. if such process has been
worked out, it means much not only for
orange growers. but for the people gen.
orally.
Up to this time no satisfactory process
has been discovered The orange had to
be shipped in it's natural form, and eaten
raw 1t keeps fairly well for a fruit,
but no fruit can be preserved for any
considerable length of time in it's natural
form.
The advantages of canning oranges will
be many. Thousands of tons of the fruit
now &c, to waste in the orchards because
they all ripen abb ut the same time and
must be disposed OF in a. comparatively
brief season. With canneries located In
the citrus fruit belts, taking care of the
fruit In season and preserving it for fu-
ture use. the whole country is bound to
profit.
There is no better food tina citrus fruit.
which includes oranges and grapefruit,
and with a proper process worked out for
its preservation a still larger field will be
found for it. The fresh orange will of
course always be IN demand. just as there
is always a demand for 4 fresh peach or a
bunch OF grapes. But the canning Of q
fruit increases its usefulness a hundred
fold.

Helping Families of Prisoners.
From the Dayton News.

N'S 10y " N'NS
The sheriff of the county in which Mil
waukee is located is trying to help along
the families Of men who are sent to Jail.
He is working along lines that seem 10 be
new, but he claims that he is having
splendid success.
The sheriff says he finds-as ~erybo

1t is the family rather than the prisoner
who is punished. When the head of a

outside of the walls and who have to get
along the best they can without the bread
winner. So the sheriff has hit upon the
plan of letting the men out during the
day and requiring them to report at nighT
and be locked up.
But of course there are certain limita-
lions to the process. The fellow must find
employment, and the employer must pay
the wages to the family. And the pris-
oner must go from the Jail to his work.
and return direct to the prison after The
days work is done. The sheriff says he
has had no trouble with the men so far,
course he cannot use the plan with all
Of the prisoners; he must use great judg-
ment in the matter.
The plan is along the line of that adopt
ed here in Ohio two years ago, of pay
ing prisoners In the penitentiary for the
work they perform. That law is working
wonders in making it easier for the fami-
punishment of the offenders. and many
other states are studying the matter with
a view to adopting 1t.

Local Advertisjno.

w. T.. Buchanan of the Portlan no
Railway. Light & Power
Portland. Ore, in a recent article on
different Methods of Publicity main
tains his belief in the efficacy of pub
licity, but claims that the kind required
is principally Of a local character and
not territorial or national to any large
degree. He also holds that it should
be undertaken early and consistently
and should be coupled with good ser
vice. and that the chief feature of the
publicity should be to attract attention
TO the readiness with which the com
pany will remove all causes of dissat-
isfaction where they exist and as far
as it can, rather than to discuss abb
stract principles. The Electric Railway
Journal agrees with Mr. Buchanan up-
on the Importance of emphasizing the
desire of the railway company to please
the public and to keep it informed of
the character Of the service supplied.
The publicity should be largely local, as
Mr.. Buchanan says. AT the same time,
it's national aspects should not be ig-
nored. The united action Of steam rail
roads in their campaign for a s per
cent increase in their freight rates is a
case in point. BY telling the facts
through all of the agencies available
they have made a deep impression on
the body public.

Farm ~Bookkeepino.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
The department of agriculture puts the
value of the chief necessaries of life con-
sumed by All average farm family each
year at a little under 5000: but more than
s4O worth of these necessaries is contrib
uted by the farm itself, leaving only STA
worth to be purchased by the farmer.
That suggests one difficulty with the
average farm bookkeeping. 1t consists of
only a cash account, A good many farm
ers can tell. with approximate accuracy,
how much money they received and paid
out during r. year. The number that have
even an approximate notion of the value
Of articles consumed or the farm is much
smaller. II got SO much for my hogs" a
farmer may tell you: but If you ask what
he might have got for the feed they con-
sumed he "Oh. I raised that
myself"
And there are still many more farmers
who have no clear notion as to how much
cash they received and disbursed. They
know only how much they have left at
the end Of the year. In farming, as m,s.h
as In banking or railroading,- good book
keeping is the foundation OF real economy
and efficiency. Stuffing So worth Of corn
into a pigskin and selling 1t for 81. so is GER
tainly not profitable.
A great amount of money Is lost yearly
in mich cows. simply because the owners
do not know what each, quart of cream,
they sell has actually cost them. A prop
err but very simple set OF books would
show at nee which cows yielded a profit
and which were merely p~erambulatory
corncribs.
A dollar invested in a blank book and a
pen would be the best investment many
farmers could make.

FARMERS Who SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac-
tice Due Economy, and Adopt
Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources of
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has been
given the impression that farming In
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but it has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay Of
capital, either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either a homestead. or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have &C
CURED a competence, have established
good homes for themselves, and pro-
vided a sure future. They have COM

ings are comfortable, speak of the re-
| ward that their thrift has accom-
plished.
Carl Dickan, of Russian Poland lived
in Pittsburgh, Pa, for fourteen years,
and saved up 5000. In 1903 he took
the 5000 with him to Alberta. His own
story is that he bought a quarter sec
ton, for which he agreed to pay
$1,000, in 1904 ! had thirty acres Of
crop, threshed 900 bushels. In 1909 I
bought another quarter. l now have
one hundred acres under cultivation,
and have " had a crop failure.
Have threshed forty-seven bushels of
wheat per acre, but the average has
been about forty. My oats for the
eleven years that / have been here
averaged forty-seven bushels to the
acre. I now have 9 horses, AZ head
of cattle, 33 hogs, which I consider
worth $4,000. have a thousand dol
lars worth OF farm implements and
my land is worth $4,000. This is all
clear of debt. / have every reason to

win there is a partially timbered dis
trict lying between Buck Lake and
Pigeon Lake. ALI this land is ready
for homesteading, and Judging from a
letter received by a resident there.
this would seem to be an ideal place
for a farmer who desired such sur
roundings. This settler lives on the
shore of Buck Lake, his land is willow
brush. which is easy to clear. Some
of the lumber is good saw timber,
and lots of good logs for buildings can
be had, as we'll as rails for fencing.
For wheat growing the soil is excel
lent. Water is easily secured, fishing
is good and plentiful and game is any
thing but scarce The settlers are
mostly from the United States and
