THE EARLIEST COAL
MINING IN ALABAMA

The earliest known record of the
existence Of coal in Alabama was
made in 1884, but the first statement
OF production in the State Is contain
ed in the United States census report
for 1910 in which the amount mined
is given as 946 tons. The mines OF
Alabama we're probably worked to q
considerable extent during the Civil
War, but there are no specific rec
ords until 1870. for which the Unit
ed States census reports production
Of 1000 tons. The development OF
the present great industry really oe'
gan in 1881 and 1882 when attention
was directed to the large iron depos'
its near the city of Birmingham. BY
1885 the coal production Of the state
had increased to nearly 2,5OO,O0O tons
In 1914, according to the united
States Geological Survey, the produc'
ton was 15,5s3,422 tons.

Plan Liberty for

in -Four Years
Proposal Is Subject Of Animated Dis

Colt

Washington, Jan 24.-Granting in.

more than four years may be favor.
ed by the Wilson administration
Senator Hitchcock chairman of the
Senate Philippine committee, discuss.
ed with President Wilson late today
a provision to that effect which Sen.
ator Clarke OF Arkansas had intro
duced as an amendment to the pend.
ing Philippine bill.
After comforting with the Presi.
dent, Senator Hitchcock, while he
would not say what the President
had told him, indicated it was prob
able the amendment would have the
administrator support. He said he
would have to talk with other sena'
tors before deciding definitely wheth
er the change would be accepted
The President previously opposed an
other amendment proposed by Sena
tor Clarke proposing independence
for the Philippines within two years
Senator. Hitchcock went to the
White House at the request OF MIR
Wilson to discuss features OF ~
Philippines bill and the chances Of
securing its passage in the near fu
ture.

The Clarke ameSidment would d'i
rect the President to invite the CO

TO maintain the sovereignty OF tho
islands and II such an agreement
could not be reached, would author

the United States alone the indepen

When the people first came to
Utah they gave their entire attention
to raising crops, because 1t required
so long to bring food across the
plains into Utah without the aid OF
railways. From this time on agricul'
ture has been the chief occupation.
Owing to the excellent climate and
the rich soil agriculture is still a
growing industry. Utah has more
than twenty thousand farms. Much
farming is done by the aid OF irri
cation. Our chief crops are hay, al
falfa, oats, corn, barley, sugar beets,
rye, fruits and vegetables.
Before the pioneers entered Salt
Lake valley, Mr.. Bridger, trapper
met them and told them they could
grow nothing in. such arid land as
Utah, and offered them a thousand
dollars for the first ear of corn that
could be raised here. There are
many arid lands upon which dry
farming is practiced in almost every
part of Utah. Steam and oil ma
chimes besides horses aid in the worl
OF cultivation.
Horticulture phase OF agriculture
is very important. Utah has vari
ETY. of fruits. In the north, temper
ate fruits are raised; In the south
semitropical fruits and grapes arr
grown. Much of our fruit is ship
ped to New York and other eastern
markets. The value OF fruit RAISING
is more than one million dollars {
year.
Raising live stock is another i'm
portant industry. During 1912 thu
value of live stock was thirty-six mil
lion dollars. Dairying is carried OF
in many fertile valleys. Domestic AMI

new KIND OF HOL-
|DAY- THRIFT DAY"
The Observance of Thrift Day, Feb. 3,
is Not Confined to Amy Race, Class
or Denomination. All Can Cele-
brate and Reap the Benefits.

Thrift Day, February 3. is unique
as holiday, in that its proper OBJ.
servance is vastly different and far
more beneficial one to the individual
than the usual celebration of the av.
erage holiday. On this day the even
tenor of things goes on; business is
developed; and financial institutions
remain open to do their share in the
celebration. There Is no cessation
of progressive activities familiar to
most holidays, and which frequently
result in reckless waste of both time
and money.
Another feature is that it is the
only holiday not confined to any race,
religion or class. In its final revclop-
ment 1t is neither national. sectional,
regional Or factional but can be Gel.
ebrated by all humanity, to the ulti-
mate and lasting benefit OF individu-
ais, communities, nations and the
world.
Economists for years have been
agreed on the increasing evidences
OF waste on the part of the average
person, but the remedies advanced
have been various, and frequently too
impractical for successful application.
From Philadelphia, with every ele-
ment for universal endorsement
comes the suggestion OF Thrift Day,
February 3. The primary point is
not whether the idea is absolutely
new, but whether it is practically
susceptible of useful application.
The celebration of Thrift Day lies
in the faithful performance by each
individual Of some thrifty action on
that day. The very simplicity Of
the idea will go a long way toward
its successful development. and this
development will mean mighty step
forward to better conditions FOR ev-
erybody.

INDUSTRIES OF utah

mails are raised on the farms. Utah
ranks very high in the raising Of
honey bees.
Utah's important source OF wealth
is found in her enormous deposits OF
minerals. Only small part OF her
resources are being developed. There
would be enough coal for home uses
and to ship away If all the mines in
Utah were worked. Last spring q
man from Pennsylvania who had been
studying Utah's natural resources
said that in few years Utah would
have a Philadelphia of its own. In
1912 our production OF gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc amounted to
over forty-four million dollars. This
increase is nineteen per cent over
the previous year, and is the largest
output in the history of Utah. Cop
per is the principal metal. Utah is
one Of the leading western States
ir the production OF silver. The
three largest mining camps are
Bingham, Tintic, and Park City
The chief smelters are at Garfield
Murray, Midvale, San Juan and Mil
ford. The refining Of salt found In
Great Salt Lake is an important In
dustry.
Manufacturing has grown the past
period more than any other industry
over six hundred articles are made
in Utah, and new ones are beint
continually added. Utah has the ma
terial to manufacture and the demand
is increasing. Soon her exports viii
exceed her imports. Utah's leading
industry is refining metals. She hal

Very recent events here recall the old discussion as to whether more men go crazy from religion or from H. ouor It is discuSSon of course which has no logical grounds to stand on One going crazy from good cause and the other means the but the question IS useful in drawing the mind to the fact that only the ab normal suffer such dire calamity in either case The
 ouor question one that is still passing through the eX permenta stage Liquor has been taken for thousands of years It has been almost prevalent as rehgon and those who have destroyed themselves by are as nearly manacs as the men who have lost their minds by religion The question to be solved when the world accepts prohibit tion is whether man will not for some outlet from the dunesS of existence as crave for religion when they are lonesome or suffering. There is something in the human soul which renders it unsettled and diSSatlS- ed It is always craving for something good or something evil but it is constantly craving anyhow. Religious lead CTS point out that the craving for religion is the proof of the consciousness of the existence of The Creator Could not an beever try to tell that the craving for evil IS proof of the existence of the AntChrSt? But both cray ines are there at times and if remove one power for evil will another assert itself Will not something be found to supply the demand? We are now about to try great experiment. It will be interesting to watch the result.
