SOUTHERN MINERAL PRODUCTION
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The growing Importance of the soutr,
as producer of minerals is evidenced
by the fact that the mineral output o,
the southern states in 1918 was greater
than that of the entire country 10 years
previously.
Some comparisons made by the Manu-
facturers Record show that the south's
| rate of increase in production for 1915
as compared with 1912 was IT'S per cent
| while that OF the remainder OF tbs
United States was only rs per cent
Sixteen states and the District of Col
umbia had. In 1913, mineral outpu
valued at 471,s2s, los. as compared will
$401 .634,s19 in 1912.
The District of Columbia and tn,
states of Mississippi, Missouri and souti
Carolina showed a decline in the valu,
of mineral output as compared witt
1912. In all cases the decrease was small
with the exception of Missouri whore i
amounted to 100000 and more. TIL,
gains in value of production in othe
states were notable and in some in

The Cost of WaYa

1.-The money cost of the European war
up to this time has been greater than that
of any former war, and before 1t is over
the figures will be startling indeed said
an old citizen.
Our civil war-1S61 to 1S65-cost in round
figures, according to government compila-
ton, IS, 900, 100000. We have been in the
habit of referring to that bloody strife as
the most expensive in history, but the war
between England and France from 1875
to 1885, cost &c. go, 100000. A total of ,00(
men were engaged In that war. In the
war between the north and south-the civil
war-2,041, 900 men were engaged on the
Union side and 10000 on the Confederate
side
THE cost of the Franco-German wal
was about $500, 100000 and the cost OF
the Spanish-American war was 81 165 co.,
900. What a terrible waste. May the day
come when all disputes between nations
will be settled by arbitration

FISH DRIVEN FROM NORTH SEA

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
A curious feature of the European war
Ii the effect that the heavy cannonading
by warships has had on the fish of the
North sea. 1t Is reported that great
shoals of fish came UP into the rivers and
canals of Holland, leaping out of the
water as they sometimes do on d summer
day, and that there were swarms OF
fish in places where they had never been
found before. 1t is thought that the
cannonading disturbed the fish.
