Des Moines. Oct, 26.-Iowas mineral
production for the year 1914 was the
largest in the history Of the state. The
value of the output was s26,301,S65 ac-
cording to the figures just announced
by the Iowa geological survey. The
survey states that this Is higher than
any previous figure of record. In 1918
the value Of the mineral output was
S25,612.345 and in 1912 1t was $22,-
91O,066
In ten years there has been an in
crease of IS per cent in the value OF
the mineral output Of the state. In
1914 the value exceeded that Of 1904 by
s11,3i6. SOS.
Iowa continues to lead all other
states in the United States in the
production OF drainage tile" declares
the survey. The value Of clay and
clay products which includes brick and
tile. pottery, and raw Gay, was IS, 4O5.-
995 in 1914. in the previous year the
value was $5,5I5,5s1. In no year in the
history of the state has the output Of
1914 been exceeded. The values Of the
outputs in the three chief producing
counties were: Cerro Gordo county,
s1,555.s44; Webster county, $1.179,113;
and Polk county, $s56.967. The value
of this product sold in Iowa in 1914
was :2,tso.s3s. Wapello county leads
in the production of pottery.
Coal Still Leads.
Coal continues to be the chief min
eral produced Its value at the mines
in 1914 was s1S.Ss4,07O. which was
s1S2,640 less than the value for 1913.
The five leading coal producing coun-
ties in 1914 in order of tonnage. were
Monroe. Polk, Appanoose, Dallas. and
Marion. These five counties produced
more than 100000 tons of the total
tonnage, which was 7,451,O22 tons
Monroe county alone producing 2.273.-
o66 tons. The frst three of the five
counties mentioned have retained the
same order o: production for more
than ten years. For many years previ-
Gus to 1913 Mahaska county ranked
fourth and in 1914 this county ranked
sixth. In 1914 the average number Of
men employed in coal mining was 49,
057. in 1913 the number was 1871.
Since the year 1911 there have been
three large modern cement plants in
Iowa, two of which are located at
Mason City, the third at Des Moines.
In 1914 the output Of these three plants
naQ a value Oh 34,UU6,3lo. Inc nigh
est figure previous to this year was
in 1913 when the value of the output
was s3,972,si6. Attic the output has
been increasing year by year there Is
every reason to believe that the maxi
mum yearly output has not yet been
reached. The three plants are thor
oughly equipped and there are abundant
supplies of limestone and shale, which
are the materials being used In Iowa
for cement making.
Other Minerals.
The gypsum industry in Iowa is in
most fiourishing condition. In 1914
the output from Webster county. the
center of the industry. was sl.321,457,
the largest figure Of record for the
state.
The value of stone and lime In 1914
was s5y4.6s1 compared with $5s4.s14
in the previous year. A large part Of
the stone was used for concrete and
railroad ballast.
The value of sand and gravel pro:
duced in Iowa in 1914 was $55S,s6S in

This DISTRESSING Situation.

Collinsville, IIl.-"I suffered from a
nervous breakdown and terrible head
aches, and was tired all over, totally
worn out and too discouraged to enjoy
life, but as had four in family and
sometimes eight or nine boarders, kept
on working despite my suffering.
1 saw Vinol advertised and decided
to try it, and within two weeks
noticed decided improvement in my
condition and now am a we'll woman. "
Mrs. ANA BECKER, Collinsville, Ill.
There are hundreds of nervous, run
down, overworked women in this vicinity
who are hardly able to drag around and
who we are sure would be wonderfully
benefited by Vinol as Mrs. Becker was.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
building up health and strength in such
cases is because it combines the medici-
nal tissue building and curative elements
Of Gods livers together with the blood
making, Strengthening properties of
tonic iron. We ask every weak, ner-
vous, rundown man or woman in this
vicinity to try bottle of Vinol on our
guarantee to return their money if it
fails to benefit.

KingsnOrth crushed the letter in his
hand as he read the hated name-the
name of the man who had caused him
so much discomfort during that unfor-
tunate visit to his estate in Ireland.
How he blamed himself now for hav-
ing ever gone there. There was indeed
a curse on it for the Kingsnorths.
He Strengthened out the crumpled
piece of paper and read on
"a man named O'Connell-the man she

had been shot by the soldiers. He was
coming to England and wished to see her.
She asked my permission. / reasoned
with her, but she was decided. If ]

house she would meet him elsewhere 1t
seemed better the meeting should be un-

proach myself now for not acquainting
you with the particulars. You might have
succeeded in stopping what has hap
pened.
Your sister and O'Connell were married

this afternoon for Liverpool en- route to
America.

The recognition of God as the ruling
and leading power in the universe, and
the grateful acknowledgment of His
favors and blessings is necessary to the
best type of citizenship and is whole
some thing in the education Of the
growing boy.
NON -SECTARIAN
No matter what the boy may be-
Catholic, or Protestant or Jew-this
fundamental need of good citizenship
should be kept before him. The Boy
Scouts of America, as an organized
body. therefore. recognize the religious
element in the training of boy. but it
is absolutely non sectarian in its atti
tude toward that religious training. It's
policy is that the religious organization
or institution with which the boy scout
is connected shall give definite atten-
ton to his religious life. If he be a
Catholic boy scout, the Catholic Church
of which he is a member is the best
channel for his training. If he be q
Hebrew boy, then the Synagogue will
train him in the faith Of his fathers.
If he be Protestant, no matter to
what denomination of Professionalism he
may belong, the church of which he is
an adherent or a member should be the
proper organization to give him an ed
ucation in the things that pertain to his
allegiance to God.
OPEN TO ALL
The Boy Scouts of America, then,
while recognizing the fact that the boy
should be taught the things that pertain
to religion, insists upon the boys re-
ligious life being stimulated and foster
ed by the institution with which he is
connected. Of course, it is a funda-
mental principle of the Boy Scouts Of
America to insist on clean, capable
leadership in its scout masters, and the
influence of the leader on the boy scout
should be of distinctly helpful char
acter.

He folded her in his arms.

died to whisper.
Three days afterward Nathaniel
Kingsnorth returned late at night from
political banquet.
1t had been a great evening. At last
it seemed that life was about to give
him what he most wished for. His
dearest ambitions were, apparently,
about to be realized.
He had been called on as a stanch
Conservative to add his quota to the
already wonderful array of brilliant
, perorations of seasoned statesmen and
admirable speakers. Kingsnorth had
excelled himself. Never had he spO-
ken so powerfully. Being one of the
only men at the banquet who had en-
joyed even brief glimpse of Ireland
he made the solution of the Irish ques-
ton the main topic of his speech
Speaking lncidly and earnestly, he
placed before them his panacea fol
