Our Foreign Trade For 1916.

The foreign trade of the United
States for the calender year 1916 will
approximate the sum of $S,000,0OO,-
O06 or about one-lfth of the entire
international trade of the world, ac-
cording to estimates made public by
the foreign trade department of the
National City Bank. 1t will be 5O
per cent. greater than in 1915, and
double that of 1914. Excess of eX-
ports over imports will approximate.
S3 ,OOOO 100000 against $1,76S,S84,OOOI
in 1915, $324,343,000 in 1914 and
S691, ,422, 900 in 1913. Complete tig-l
ures for the commerce of the entire
country in the nine months endingI
fifth September are at hand, as are al;
so those of New York, which is ac-
cepted as an index of the entire coun-
trv's trade for October. Figures for
the nine months ended with Septem-
ber show a total commerce of So
O,0OO,O0O against S3,S33,0 100000 in
the corresponding period of 1915 and
S2,S77, 100000 in the nine months OF
1914. October figures of the port OF
New York indicate that the total
trade will equal and probably exceed
that of September. Both imports
and exports will make new records IN
the current year.

Cattle Tick Will Be Held To Strict
Account.

Since the Texas fever tick is the
greatest enemy of cattle production in
Florida, it will receive a great deal
of attention at the livestock meeting
at the University of Florida, Gaines
vile, January 16 to 10 inclusive.
Methods of eradication are upper
most in the minds of most stockmen.
Plans for the campaign will be dis
cussed. The life history of the insect
will be given. Few farmers realize
the toll which they are paying the
tick in animals, blood and feed. The
annual price for entertaining the pest
is enormous. These and other sub
jects incident to eradication will re-
ceive attention at the meeting.
Some of the best tick eradication
authorities in the United States have
been promised for the meeting. The
subjects is of vast Importance to
farmers, stockmen and representa-
tives of allied industries. Everybody
who is interested in the agricultural
development of the state is urged to
attend the sessions.-Agricultural
News Services.

sprung up over night. Century is
not yet six months old. Houses and
stores are being built at a rate that
sees them finished two weeks from
the day the contract is let. A dozen
other older towns have taken on new
and startling vitality. The face of
the land is being covered with gray
mountains of ore. And all because
the heir to the throne of Austria was
aSsaS5inated, and because zinc is used
in making brass and brass is used in
making shells.
Joplin is the center of the Middle
Western zinc and lead field. W!,cn
zinc ore went to 500 a ton Joplin
went wild. They had professions
and brass bands and speeches and
alterations. If Joplin had waited
4 little she could have had that same
celebration on the day that zinc ore
touched $40 a ton-which it did a
little later on, thereby setting a new
worlds record.
Before the war zinc ore was hang

they succumbed to wide range of
ailments. The new conditions came
on so suddenly that for the moment
they were not adequately met. Now
the dry drills have been replaced
with dustless water-drills, and dog

of the mine where the workmen are
compelled to change clothing and
cool off before going farther.

This succession of colds weakens the

Joplin on Ground Floor.

Of course zinc didn't stay at $40
indefinitely. 1t couldn't, owing to
the laws Of supply and demand that
control such matters. Every rise in
price made it worth while for zinc
properties in other states and Oh 9th
er continents to become producers,
until now Canada and Mexico and
Australia ara turning out every pound
they can put on the market, and the
price is huctuating around $40. At
that, there is neat profit, as is obvi-
Gus when you consider that the mines
were running with zinc at $40. But
Joplin, or the Missouri-Kansas-O Okla

its big gainS in the early days Of the
war, because they were ready to do
business at a word. Half the world

Road to Easy Wealth.
The mine-seeker goes to a land
owner whose land lies in such To-
cation that the miner, whether a
practical or technical expert, has
reason to believe it covers a zinc de-
posit. Miner and owner then strike
a bargain, by which the former
"Ieases" the mineral rights of the
land. This is usually done on a
royalty basis, by which the man who
owns the land gets 10 to Is per
cent of the net profits Of whatever
mines are sunk. The landowner
really has the best of the whole
bargain. A number of such men
are drawing fat monthly incomes
now, for which they were never put
to more trouble thar 10 agree to

The ore is sold weekly. Thurs
dav is sale day. Prices rule on a
basis of ore that is 60 per cent me-
talIic zinc. Ore that goes higher
than this nets premium. The
buvers drive out from Joplin in au-
tomobiIes and buggies, equipped
with little sampling bottles. They
strike a bargain with the owner
over his bins and then pick out bits
of the ore here and there to deter
