Of
Phosphate Rock
In the Year 1915

The phosphate rock sold in the
United States in 1915 as onown by
figures compiled by the United States
Geological Survey amounted to 1885,
G67 long tons, valued at Sab 49.
This is a decrease Of S9S,376 long
tons in quantity and Of $4.194.592 in
value, according to w. G. Phalen.
OF the Survey, as compared with the
production Of 1914, which in turn,
showed marked decrease compared
with that Of 1918. The output came
as usual, principally from Florida,
Tennessee, and South Carolina, but
there was a small output from Ar.
kansas, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming.
The quantity OF phosphate rock
marketed in Florida in lsi5, includ-
ing hard rock and land pebble, was
only 1,35S,61l long tons, valued
81, 762, 239. Compared with 1914 this
was decrease OF 7sO,2s0 long tons
in quantity and of $3,592.505 In the
value. The hard rock industry, es-
pecially, is in badly crippled condi-
ton owing to the war in Europe.
The production OF phosphate rock
m Tennessee, together with a very
small production in Arkansas, In 1915
was 3S9,759 long tons, valued at ST..
327,747. Compared with 1914, this
was a decrease OF 93,444 long tons
in quantity and S495, O23 in vaiue.
The production of phosphate rock
in South Carolina in 1915, which was
s3,46O long tons, valued at $3l0,s50,
also greatly decreased, as compared
with that of 1914. The production in
Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming in 1915
was 1887 long tons, valued at $l2,613.
Conditions in the phosphate rock
industry during 1915, especially In
Fiogida, were about the same as they
were at the end OF 1914.
Soon after the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war the phosphate mining
companies OF Florida-not cniy the
companies that produce the higher
grade rock for export but also those
that supply the domestic trade-eith'
or curtailed production very material
ly or suspended mining. The com
panies engaged in combined export
and domestic trade OF in domestic
trade alone we're less seriously AZ
fected than those doing an exclusive
export business.
Shipments OF phosphate rock to
Germany. which hitherto has been q
large consumer, have OF course al
most entirely ceased and those to the
ether European countries have beer
seriously interrupted.
The great demand for sulpnuric nc
i'd, especially toward the end Of 1917
has also curtailed the production o
phosphate rock. The prices or sui
phuric acid have been so high tina
the manufacture OF acid phosphate
has been somewhat reduced and thu
reduction has caused a decline in thu
market for phosphate rock.

A HON e FOR
EVERY CHILD

There are two theories of how to

gather them in large institutions
The other idea is to place them In
individual homes.

the individual home method Is used
He said he had always regarded the
individual home plan as ideal. Yet
when he saw how poorly some OF the
little waits Jared, he concluded that
the orphans In the big New York in

THINKS NEW ROAD
IS A NECESSITY
s. RI. SWEAT ASKS COUNTY
BOARD TO OPEN A NEW ROAD
WAY TO THE ROBERTS SCHOOL

Its long way to Tipperary," and
e. 81. Sweat of Roberts, thinks it is
also long way, far too long, from
where he and his children and grand
children live to where the latter at
tend school. So, last night, he stated
his case to the board of county COM
missioners and strenuously urged that
a road in that neighborhood be open
ed at once.
Mr.. Sweat said that for eight years
they had been making out on promises
about that road and that now they just
simply had to have some relief-and
a road. He said that he had to go
three miles out of his way and, ac-
cording to his description of the sec
ton of the road that is already sup
posed to be open, one would think
that the European beligerents had
been contending for territory along
its route. He gave vivid descriptions
Of barbed wire entanglements and
insisted that something must be done.
After talking himself into healthy
sweat and the board into cold sweat
and the audience into nervous sweat,
Mr.. Sweat was finally assured that
the board would make special eff
fort to give him the much needed
road.

BRITAIN LIMITS COAL
TO COMMERCIAL SHIPS
New Policy Blow at American
Trade-Guards Supply at
Ports

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Frcsh trouble
stirred today between tho United States
and England.
This resulted from Great Brltains official
announcement Of II new policy which. like
many others, hampers American commerce
-namely. restrictions on supplying ship
coal mt her stations dottlnR the globe. The
state Department Intends TO do all Il can
TO alter this policy but little hope was held
out by British authorities that there can be
any material change for the present
In brief. the new restrictive policy is that
England cannot guarantee to furnish bunker
coal at her coaling ports, except to vessels
engaged In lines beneficial TO the Allies
Otherwise vessels may--and frequently
have boen--halted for days awaiting Eng
lands pleasure about supplies.
England offers what she regards as n
legitimate eNcusc-that German submarines
have reduced the carrying trade, and Eng
land needs her vessels for other than coal
carrying purposes
The United States has resented Individual
Intentions. but has no opportunity yet To
formulate n full policy toward the publicly
announced British program.
International law experts doubted N tho
United States could accomplish much mora
than putting herself on record I'm proteat
everything viii be done TO effect n
modification, inasmuch ms the sltuatIon
promises to grow Increasingly serious for
American commerce, particularly with The
philippines and to South America
