Mrs. Joe Johnson

Mrs. Joe johnson died at the
home of her granddaughter
Thursday, August 5.
Mrs. Johnson was a true chris
tian and a member of the Pres
byterian church. She was in
her fifty. ninth year, and to know
her was to love her. Her re-
mains were laid to rest in Spring
Hill cemetery, the services be-
ing conducted by Rev. McShan.
To the heartbroken family we
extend our heartfelt sympathy,
and may they be able to say in
this great sorrow, God knows

Crops in South Good

Crop prospects in the south are
the best at this time they have
been for years. So declares w.
G. Bessonet, of this city. a for
mer southerner, who has received
direct word from his SON. in law,
Ben. R. Whitcomb, Of Clinton,
Indiana, in which city Mr.. Bes-
sonet made his home prior to
coming to Winona. Mr.. Whit
comb has just returned from a
trip through Arkansas, in which
state he owns 48O acres of cut
over timber land.
Mi. Whitcomb says the south
has the best crop prospects
known and the most diversified
crops ever grown, such as cotton,
rice, corn, wheat oats, kaffir corn.
fetereta, COW peas. alfalfa,
sorghum. beans, two crops Of
potatoes, peanuts, pop corn,

canteloupes and all kinds of gar
den truck.
The railroads will place men at
all cotton loading stations to buy
wheat, corn and oats for ship
ment, a thing never before known
at these cotton buying stations.
Mr.. Whitcomb says the south is
surely coming back and bringing
the bacon" with it. The north
ern wheat. oats and corn grower
will hereafter have to reckon
with his southern competitor.
Mr. Whitcomb says they are
drilling for oil or gas, 80 rods
from where he owns 12O acres
and about a mile and a quarter
from where he owns 300 acres.
They are now down 700 feet and
report the prospects good. They
will drill 1000 feet and have
10, 900 acres under option. This
we'll now being drilled is about
125 miles from the Oklahoma and

American Mining Congress

The probability OF the United States becoming the
leading radium producer of the world and OF reduction
from the present price of 100000 a gram to $4,000 was
announced Sept. 20 by Van II. Manning, director OF the
United States bureau Of mines, speaking at the opening
session Of the American Mining Congress in the civic
auditorium at the San Francisco exposition. In part he
said:
The only fields of carnotite ore known today are
in Colorado and Utah. These fields are not mex
haustible, and it is highly desirable that the govern
ment take action that will prevent SO much OF this ore
as now remains in its possession from being wasted or
monopolized.
He also stated that in the west losses through waste
ful methods in the mining OF zinc were startling, but that
through Investigations of the mining bureau many unde-
veloped fields can now be operated at a profit. He also
predicted the mining of tin as a new industry for Califor-
MIA, idaho, Washington, Wyoming and Alaska.
DR.. George Otis Smith, director of the geological sur
vev, delivered a plea for plain Writing in the prepare
ton of scientific papers, and said that 1T is now the spirit

guage of the people

The Loue ofHealth

If any one doubts that this is an era of health propa-
ganda he must, indeed, be oblivious Of what is going on
about him. Municipal, state and national agencies are
using forces and funds at their disposal to further the in
terests of public hygiene. Educational influences are di-
recting their energies to the spread of the lessons of pro-
durable health in public print and in documents of both
official and unofficial character. Novels and short stories,
the literature of biography and travel, the platform and
even the pulpit are proclaiming the gospel of health far
and wide.
The medical profession, more enthusiastic if not more
v1tally interested than any other group in the promotion
and outcome OF the modern hygenic movement, may we'll
stop from time to time to inquire about the sanity of the
methods of the propaganda. The religious doctrine of
past ages involved the threat Of harm; it inculcated a fear
OF the destruction or danger that was sure to follow the
violation of the law. This dismal attitude has long since
been replaced by a religion of love, of uplift and joyous an
tlc1patlon. In the health propaganda, likewise, much Of
the pesS1mst1c attitude, uncOnSClouSly perhaps, has been
introduced in the past. The fear of disease has been held
over the heads of the people. Rarely have we seen the
more appropriate spirit of the modern better health move
extension institute. 1T is not a fear of illness or of death
that we should encourage, but a love of health, a sense of
responsibility for the care of Our bodies, a desire for bodily
endurance and efficiency and full achievement. If the
mind is fixed on these ideals, and the already known means
OF approaching them are utilized, the needless miseries that
embltter the lives OF so many may be left to take care of
themselves. 1t IS not so much necessary to fight disease as
to cultivate health for the happiness. contentment and
moral gain that it brings
There is something unusually optimistic and buoyant
IN such words, says the Journal of the American Medical
ASSOCIATION. They embody the psychologist cue to COM
tort and happiness for many a patient, without implying
that man is incapable of sin, sickness or death, > or that
health is not a condition of matter, but of mind To in
splre a love OF health does not mean to exclude the great
body OF scientific knowledge which is the best that science
can offer today regarding disease, or to replace medicine
by crude metaphysics. The ardent love of health ins,1res
a mind receptive to the lessons of modern medicine.

Proposed Patent Reform

If there ever be any reform in the patent office pro
cedure OF the United States, there ought to be introduced
q new form of letters patent, says Engineering and Min

arts-the specifications and the claims. There ought to be
a third-a synopsis OF both There might, moreover. be adj
vantageously introduced some subdivisioning of the speci-
ilcatons. 1t would not be worth while to make these sue-
Sest1ons, or to give any attention to the subject, were it
not that patent specifications are an important part OF
technical literature. The patent office authorities claim
that they are the most important part-that every new

ton for a patent, and that in making any investigation it
its scarcely necessary to search outside of their files. This
is not absolutely sound, but there is no doubt OF a good

Prospectors, Engineers, Etc.

The Mining and Scientific Press, after paying its
tribute to the prOspeCtor, concludes an interesting editorial
on "Prospectors, Engineers and Amateurs in the follow
ing words:
I'VE hear less of the individual operator, like George
Hearst, Alvinza Hayward, James B. Haggin, Patsy Clark,
MOffat, Delamar and the like, most o. whom made their
money out of the ground itself, and not by promoting COM
panies or playing what is called the mining game, that is,
selling ten-cent shares to a gulible public. Such 'adven-
turers, using the word in its old Elizabethan meaning,
have become rare because, among other reasons, the chanc-
es for them have diminished The face of the earth, even
the far recesses of the high ranges and the upper limits of
the inaccessible creeks, have been surveyed BY the topoe-
rapher and mapped by the geologist. To find virgin terri
tory the explorer must travel northwestward or else
choose those tracts over which search has been made for
only one or two out o. the many metals valuable to man.
To succeed he must have not the sophisticated mind of
the modern expert, who knows only how to estimate the
ore that has been proved, but the optimism that never
grows old, mounting to an invincible assurance that the
lind is not far ahead.
That spirit was typiied by the old prospector and his
burro. by the store-keeper that grubstaked him and by the
assayer that tested his samples as against payment when
the lucky strike was made. Yes; we miss that phase of
mining; perhaps because we live SO much in cities. But
somewhere in the hills, in the frontier settlements. the old
scenes are still repeated, and the inexpugnable hopefulness
of the mineral explorer is in play as in the DAYS gone BY.
Pap Brenegan burro is coming down the road laden with
q couple of sacks III which is the first fruit of a Chrvsolte.
2 Homestake or a Treadwell. Reality STILES imagination.
We hear so much about the colossal enterprises that we
forget how they grew from a fortuitous prospect hole up
the creek to a simple digger in overalls. The adventurous
spirit is vanishing like the mist of morning on the high
mountains. The unknown retreats, the foreground en-
larges. Where once the lone prospector tramped, the long
train of gondola cars laden with ore winds its confident
course along the steel highway.
The prOSpeCtOr must step aside and take the lonesome
trail beyond the reach of the thunderous engines of prog
ress or the whispering wires of civilization. Yet, he ought
to be cherished by those controlling the mining industry.
not out of sentiment merely but as an essential to the
healthy expansion of organized effort. When the million
aires made by mining have finished building libraries. en-
downing colleges and running newspapers they might we'll

deal of meat in it. But, admitting that, we submit that the
patent files are %forbidding and are cluttered with SO much
rubbish that it is very difficult for anybody-even Tor a
skilled patent examiner, we imag1ne-to lind IN them
what he wants.
Let us illustrate. Our attention recently fell upon a
newly granted patent for Method of Smelling Sulphide
Ores" This title in itself drags a red herring across the
scent of investigation. The patentee in fact describes a
process for zinc smelling, but in order to have this patent
as broad as possible he gives it the less definite title. We
do not urge any encroachment upon the rights OF an ap-
plicant. Let him take all that the law allows him. But
why should not the patent office give to every patent an
index title, with the understanding that it does not COM
init or limit the patentee2 ~.
This particular patent in specifications of 2oI lines
and claims of 100 lines (four pages of text describes and
protects a process that we summarize as follows:
Blende is crushed to minus IoO-mesh size and is burn
ed in suspension in the combustion chamber of a distilla-
ton furnace, its heat performing the disti1ation of a
charge of ore in the retorts thereof. The products of COM
bustion are conducted through a bag house (bags OF as
bestos fabric) and the zinc oxide collected theretrom IS
mixed with coal and charged into the retorts of the dishl-
lation furnace. The retort gases are conducted into the
combustion chamber of the disti1ation furnace to assist in
the disti1lation of the zinc.
The claim might be: "The combination of the above
steps, and specifically the burning of blende in suspension
and the utilization of the heat thereof for zinc distillation."
We shall not discuss the practlcablllty OF this lngen-
ious conception of making zinc-sulphide ore do its own
smelling or suggest a study of the respective exothermlc
and endothermic reactions involved; but we submit that
all that anybody skilled in the art of zinc smelling needs
to know is comprised in our summary, which might be
even more brief. Such a summary ought to be printed as
the introduction of every patent specification.

To the students of union labor activities the following
will doubtless prove of interest: 1t is very probable that
before very long all union workmen dying in Hudson coun-
ty, N. J., will have to have union funerals. They will be
laid out bv union embalmers in union caskets, carried by
union pail bearers to a hearse driven by a union driver, and
buried in a grave dug by union grave diggers or else Gre
mated by union cremators. William +. kavanagh OF the
central labor union of Hudson county declared that such
will be the rule if the resolution he proposes to introduce
at the next meeting of the union is passed. at is entirely
consistent with trade unionism that the bodies of men who
were loval to the cause of union labor should be handled by
none but union men, according to kavanagh. = Mining
