A Comparison

A mineral report from Joplin on
the 1st of the month gives the zinc
and lead production of that district
for the past eleven months. 1t is plac-
ed at total valuation of $30,3S1 900,
Of which 6,,500,000 is for zinc ore
and S3,S59,000 for lead ore This is
an increase of $6,000,0OO in zinc and
$1713,000 in lead over the correspond
ing period last year.
No reports are given out for pub
lication Of the lead products Of st.
Francois county, so we have no way
of getting at the exact figures, but it
is estimated that more than S60,000,-
900 of lead ore has been produced or
mined by the several big companies
in this county, This is about double
the whole Of the zinc and lead COM
bined CT the Joplin district The net
profits Of the companies Of this coun-
ty the past year are estimated at
about $50 000000; the net profit Of one
company is said to be $1,000 600.
From which, as little as is said about
il in published statistics Of ore pro-
ductions, st. Francois county leads
all others in the. State.

Germany Makes
Peace Proposal

Following up her recent successes in
arms in overrunning Roumania, Ger
many, with the allied central powers,
has made tentative proposal to the
Entente Allies for peace negotiations.
The German Chancellor announced
this fact in the Reichstag on the 18th
inst. He said he had that morning
sent a note proposing peace negotia-
tions to the hostile powers through the
representatives Of Spain, the United
States and Switzerland looking after
Germany's, interests in those coun-
tries, asking them to deliver it. The
London Foreign Office declined to dis
cuss the peace proposal until the terms
shall have been received, but one
prominent English official expressed
grave doubt that any terms Germany
might suggest would offer even
basis for negotiations. Acceptance
by the Entente Alliance is considered
very unlikely.

Christmas Buyers

The Times wishes to suggest to all
prospective Christmas shoppers that,
before starting in search for remem-
brances for family and loved ones,
that they carefully inspect the adver-
tising columns of this paper. They
will find that a few minutes so spent
will be most helpful to them, and will
perhaps be the means of saving them
both money and time in their shop
ping expedition.
In The Times will be found adver-
tisements Of only the live, wide-awake
progressive merchants, who think
enough of your patronage to render
you every assistance in their power,
and who strive in their advertising
matter to give you at least an inti-
nation of what you may expect to
find in their stores. Times advertise
ments will not only prove to be money
and time savers, but are most read
able and attractive to the eye.
Get the habit Of reading Times ad-
vertisements. You will never regret
it. In fact, it will soon fasten itself
on you, and you would not dismiss it
if you could. And remember, too, that
the home advertiser is he who is en-
titled to all your trade, for he is
helping to support the handspring in
the community, which is the readable
home paper And the fact that he is
an advertiser, who does not desire to
choke the eagle on the coin when he
gets hold of a piece Of money, is the
best possible evidence that you will
be treated more fairly by the adver-
tiser than by the non-advertiser.

a recent box uspper. This money she
has expended for a suitable bookcase
and an excellent line of library books.
Great progress has been made during
the current school year in adding to
the libraries of the rural schools OF
the county. The teachers are taking
the law into their own hands and are
raising the necessary money by va
rious kinds of entertainments. This
is well enough, but school officials
should not ignore the law which re-
quires that not less than five cents
per pupil enumerated in the dis
trict be set. aside, out of the levy made
for incidental purposes, for the pur-
chase of necessary supplementary and
reference books. If this law were
strictly obeyed every district in the
county, however poor, could soon have
a good working library.

Pennington Local
Option Contest

The Pennington local option con-
test case, which was taken to Iron
county by the "wets" on a change of
venue, came up in the Circuit Court
at Ironton before Judge Dearing last
Saturday. B. II. Boyer, attorney for
the vets, dismissed the "Trauer-
NIGHT case", which was the one where
in the Mayor and each of the Alder
men were made defendants, and filed
an amended petition in the "Fischer
case, wherein he alleged as an addi-
tional and new ground for contest
that there were no booths nor ballot
boxes furnished and used at the cleo
tion.
THE "drys", by their attorneys, con-
tended that this was new contest
and asked the court to continue the
case to the next regular April term
(1917) of the Iron County Circuit
Court, which was done. This carries
the case over to the fourth Monday in
April, 1917.
The "wets" had an array of witness
es on hand and demanded trial, but
Judge Dearing ruled that the "drys"
had reason to rely on the good faith
of the "wets" in filing their amended
petition, and had the right not to
cause any witnesses to be subpoenaed
and be present. As the case now
stands the pleadings are to be made
up in April, 1917, and the case tried
then.
