The total value of the pig industry
in Ireland increased from f6,ss7, 900
in 1905 to fS.146,0O0 in 1914 Bacon
curing is carried on by about fifty
firms. employing approximately 5000
hands, and Ireland exports about one
fifth of the total import OF bacon TO
the United Kingdom. The Irish la.
borer and his family grow more and

DOOR CANNOT BE FORCED

Lock That Can Defy Most Mod

A lock that cannot be 1immied has
long been the goal toward which lock.
smiths have been striving. Many have
been invented, but all have proved
failures, because any bolt that shoots
horizontally from door to jamb can be
forced by skillful burglar A patent
has recently been issued, however, for
lock in which the bolts drop perpen
dicularly into sockets and thus fasten
the door just as it is hung upon its
hinges.
No burglar can jimmy a hinge. In
the first place, the hinge is so stu

DOLLAR
RULES THE WORLD

New York, Aug. 16-The Ameri-
can dollar ruled the financial world
today with an iron grip. Pounds ster-
ling, francs, lires, virtually all for
eign exchange went down to new
depths in torrent of bills that pour
ed into the exchange markets from
American manufacturers, seeking pay
for the big war contracts fer mu-
nitions and other supplies purchased
here by the warning nations of Eur
ope. Coincident with the startling
decline in exchange rates came the
assertion from an unimpeachable
source that every contract made by
the American manufacturers for sup
plies sent abroad called for payment
in American dollars and not English
pounds sterling which have hereto
fore been the standard of finance
the world over.
The immense losses therefore due
to tie decline in foreign exchange
rates, will be borne to the last pen
ny by the foreign buyers and will
not be sustained by the American
manufacturers situation exactly
the opposite of what had heretofore
been the popular bel eff. The maximum
depreciation today in pounds sterling
was Az per cent below normal; in
francs 10 per cent below normal, in
Italian l;res % per cent.
In the money markets today the
pound sold for only $4.64.062; six
francs equalled 81, and a 81 purchas-
ed GAS lires. These were the quo
taticns while rates were at the low
est ebb during the early afternoon.

Albert Klais and party. had a
thrilling experience with their auto
mobile Sunday. When several miles
beyond Missouri lake, their machine
died for want Of propelling power,
and our ever-handy county assessor,
about that time. came along with
his Ford and pulled them to the top
of Missouri hill, and there Thompson
took the party in his car and car
ried them to the foot of the two mile
hill. Klais was to take his machine
down by gravity, when the other car
was out of danger. After starting,
the brakes refused to work. and
Klais, holding we'll to the steering
wheel, came down at the rate of so
miles an hour. by his speedometer
nearly running into the other car at
the foot Of the hill. Thompson tow
ed the car into Black Hawk, when it
was found that the hind axle was
broken. causing the brake to refuse
to work. 1t was most fortunate that
no damage was otherwise done the
car and occupant.

THE OLD PAIR OF sREEcHEs

How dear to my heart were my first
pair of breeches,
That proudly were worn by my big
brother Bill.
How fondly I've gazed on the small
even stitches
That deftly were fashioned by fingers
now still,
And oft in the evening when home
ward returning
From youthful delights in the old
swimming pool;
Those same skillful fingers set breech
es to burning,
By muscular stroke of the old oak
en- rule.
Those blue denim breaches, the old
faded breeches,
Those often patched breeches that
first hung on Bill.
With wonderment often I've looked
on those breeches,
For no other garment e'er stood such
strain,
How we'll they resisted the tough
willow switches
That grew in profusion along the old
lane.
And oft from the woodshed I've
heard voice calling
In dignified tones that l very well
knew,
But what got my goat, just preced-
ing the mauling,
Was, Johnny this hurts me now
more than twill you"
The old faded breeches, the iron
clad breeches,
The much worked on breeches that
first hung on Bill.

LID OFF THE SILVER MARKET

The newspapers and technical peri
odicals this week are flooded with
discussion of the silver market and
representations of a startlingly act
i've situation to ensue in the next
sixty days. The outburst of this tor
rent of information and the reports
of purchasers Of silver and prospec-
tive demands is too broadcast and
sudden to have arisen in a. spon-
taneous way. 1t bears unmistaka Die
evidence of systematic campaigning
at the hands Of perfectly organized
publicity bureau. 1t is the sensa-
tional inauguration of silver boom
by the barons of the silver market
who probably recognize tlat the ma
tural forces of demand for silver,
which they have repressed and held
down for so many months is about
to blow the lid off For some years
and during the year of the great war
it has been known that the silver
market was entirely controlled by
the bear influences. No silver has
been sold, yet the Guggenheims and
other operators have constantly re-
ceived the silver product at a mini
mum schedule ard it has gone into
the accumulated hoard which is now
to be unloosened when. in response.
to a legitimate demand the prices
have been forced up to a maximum.
Some weeks since tie Miner forecast
just such a situation as is now pre-
senting itself. 1t predicted an up
ward trend of prices which would
lead probably to S1.00 silver. That
the time is now arrived for such de-
velopments seem assured. The spec
ulators have opened their campaign
and the next few weeks will witness
just such a phenomenal advance of
CURED in the tungsten market but on
scale of vastly greater scope.
World conditions are so extraordi-
nary that it seems not to be doubted
that the imminent boom of silver will
perhaps reach greater force and i'm
portance than anything of the kind
in the history of trade in the world.
That the silver boom will be of more
wonderful consequence in Colorado
than the Leadville boom is the con-
fident belief of many we'll informed
people of the state and nation. The
Miner confidently believes that the
silver mining districts and the own
ers Of silver mines are due to exper-
fence such prosperity as was never
r before known in mining fortune
