ness men of the United States in their
commercial dealings with South Ameri-
co. One purpose of the bureau, reads

protect American business men from
being vlctimized by INSCRIPTIONS pro-
moters, who avail themselves of the in
terest aroused toward our southern
friends for their own selfish purposes.
Mr.. Noel, as publisher and newspaper
man, has gained wide experience both

impartial and capable advice on financial
and commercial subjects between these

TEXAN ORES ARE STUDIED.
Geological Survey Bulletin Gives
Detailed Account of Deposits.

The brown ores of northeastern Texas
have been used to some extent for making
iron in small local forges or furnaces in
almost every county in which a good
sized deposit of ore occurs. This form of
industry was carried on mainly between
1856 and 1870. Between 1870 and 1909 iron
was manufactured from time to time in
five or more small charcoal blast furn-
aces. Since the last of the furnaces went
out of blast several plans have been
made to establish iron and steel works
on the Gulf coast, as well as at points
between the ore field and the Oklahoma
coklng FOCAL field. The recent conditions
of the iron and steel markets have not,
however, been favorable to such enter
TO blast furnaces in Alabama and on
the Atlantic seaboard.
In response to many requests received
by the United States Geological Survey
during the last three or four years for
published data concerning the iron-ore
deposits of northeastern Texas, a recon-
naissance of this area was made in the
autumn of 1914 by Ernest f. Burchard, a
Survey geologist, who, in Bulletin 620-E,
which may be obtained free by applying
to the Director of the Survey, gives an
account of the early exploration of these
deposits together with descriptions of de-
posits In Cass. Marion, Morris, and Cher
okee Counties and analyses of the ores.
In the iron-ore district, of northea stern
Texas the surface is occupied chiefly by
sand. clay, gravel, and silt. The most
recent deposits-those that form the bars
and bottom lands along the streams-are
of Quaternary age. but the great masses
OF sand and clay with which the IRON
ore deposits are associated are of early
Tertiary age tEocene). The iron ore con-
sists of limonite, or hydrated iron oxide
drown ore), and siderite, or iron car

APPAM WILL NOT BE
HANDED TO BRITISH
State Department Announces Treaties
of 1879 and 1924 Will Control
the Situation.

1t was announced at the State De-
partment yesterday that the Prussian-
American treaty of 1893 and 1924 will
be the controlling factor in deciding
the case of the Appam. now held at
Newport News as a German prize.
This means that the British gov
ernment has been defeated in it's effort
to have the vessel returned TO the
former British owners.
The State Department has not yet
announced its decision as to how the
treaty is to be applied. This leaves
unsettled the question of whether the
Appam is to be granted an unlimited
stay in port at Newport News, OF
whether It is TO be ordered to leave
port.

"Damaged Goods. !"

The patronage at Days Theatre
Sunday afternoon and evening was
large considering the other attrac-
tions at the Tabernacle and other the
atres. Everyone that witnessed these
pictures were fully impressed with
the moral lesson that they present.
The meetings at the Tabernacle could
not possibly convey to their audiences
the illustrative and true lessons brot
out by the showing of the pictures
at Days theatre on Sunday.
It's too bad that every young man
and woman of the city of Grand Rap
ids could not have seen these pictures.
If they had, it would have saved them
many a heartache in their future life
We are glad to know that the picture
film companies are presenting such
pictures that convey these excellent
moral lessons. They are more impress
sive and lasting than a sermon or book
We take pleasure in commencing
these pictures.
