U. S. LEADS ALL WORLD
IN PETROLEUM PRODUCTION
Total-Russia Second and Mex
leo Third In List.

The United States supplies 65.S5
per cent of all the crude petroleum
produced in the world in 1915, accord
ing to figures compiled by Uncle Sam.
Russia was the nearest competitor Of
the United States and Mexico, in spite
of the unsettled conditions there, was
the third largest Oil producing country
in the world.
The production in the United States
was 2S1 ,104,104 barrels of AZ gallons
each. Russia was poor second with
GS,54S,O62 barrels, while Mexico pro-
duced 32,91O5OS barrels.
Figures on petroleum production In
the world since 1857 show that the
United States has been steadily gain
ing on other countries. The total
production in the United States dur
Ing that period was 1916, SCI PA, or
COLO per cent Of the entire produc-
| ton of the world in that time, while
in 1915 the proportion produced by
the United States has grown to 65.S5

TO REDUCE MINE TOLL
Uncle Sam Makes Earnest EHou
to Prevent Loss OF Lie.
Three New Safety Stations Are e.
tabIished, Equipped With spe-
eially construeted-cars
for Rescue Work.

Uncle Sam is making an earnest er-
fort TO reduce the loss or lie that re
Suits from accidents in the mines oi
the United States and at the same uihe
TO deyelop the mining industry to stu
rreater proportions than II has ALREADY
attained. To this end the department
of the interior has begun carrying Out
the provisions of an act of congress
which provides for the establishment
of ten mining experiment stations ana
seven minc-safety stations in ada'-
ton TO those already established. Ap-
preparations are available Tor ohls
three of the safety stations and three
of the experiment stations, but the
other will he provided for by suose-
quent appropriations.
Secretary of the Interior Lane has
announced the location of two OF the
three mining experiment stations ana
three mine-safety stations. The hrst
of the experiment stations is TO be at
Fairbanks, Alaska: the second al
Tucson, AriE, and the third, not yet
definitely announced, in the Pacific
SaAtAs SbAAAtttS .hS ~
cided upon will be at Butte. Mont;
Reno. New. and Ration. n. NJ. The
sum of S25 900 is appropriated for each
Of the mining experiment stations and
S101, 800 for the three safety stations.
The purpose OF all the stations &C
cording to the law Is to make invest-
cations with a view toward improving
conditions in the mining, quarrying,
metallurgical and other mineral indus
tries, safeguarding life among en-
ployees, preventing unnecessary waste
Of resources and otherwise contribut-
ing to the advancement of these indus
tries.
Each of the mine-safety stations is
TO be equipped with an all-steel mine
rescue car which will respond to disas-
ter calls within its prescribed territory.
Congress has appropriated $4,000 for
the purchase of the three cars. These
cars will be of special design and will
represent the most modern thought in
rescue work They will be manned by
expert crews of life savers, who, when
they are not employed at a mine dis
aster. will go to the different mining
camps and train the miners TO rescue
work and first aid to the injured.
Secretary Lane thinks that the e1-
pertinent stations, by aiding in the de-
velopment of new metallurgical proc
esses, will aid materially in enlarging
the mining industry, providing employ
ment for more men, with the utiliza-
lion of the low-grade mineral deposits
to their highest extent. He regards the
new step as most deserved recogni-
ton Of an industry which now has
yearly output Of probably two and
half billion dollars and which Is next
TO agriculture In its Importance to the
welfare of the country.

RED MAN PROGRESSING
Passing Of Indian Medicine Man
New Step Forward.
,,,eI. Sam, In Effort to Perpetusts
Race, Aids His Wards In Put
tina End to the Rava0es
Of Disease.

The day of the old-time Indian meui'
cine man is rapidly passing. Encour-
ored by Uncle Sam, the red man is
turning more and more to the "hi'e
mans physician and his medicine.
The passing of the Indian medicine
man marks another step toward the
Americanization OF the original Amer
lean, In the face of the march OF ci'i-
IlzntIou through the reservations OF
the red men. the medicine man mas
held his own TO remarkable degree
until recently, when the raNhges Oh
tuberculosis and trachoma among the
adults and the heavy mortality among
the Infants on the reservations LED 10
the conclusion that II the red man was
to be perpetuated, modern sanitary ana
medical measures must be adopted.
Uncle Sam has endeavored TO do his
part in the protection OF his wards by
greatly increasing the number OF hos
pItals for the use OF the Indians.
While there were only So hospitals in
1912, with capacity OF 1.2S6, there
were "a in 1918, with a capacity Of
o,oi5, and more are being built or
planned.
Substantial Increases have also been
made in the number of field matrons
and nurses. and an attempt made to
furnish the best practicable service
with the appropriations that congress
would make possible.
In view of the widespread prev
alence of trachoma and tuberculosis,
as reported by the investigation OF the
public health service, ophthalmologists
have been increased in number from
three TO seven. and the number of reg
ular agency physicians increased from
50 TO 100, and contract physicians from
SO TO 76.
The appropriation for relief of dis
tress has been increased from 5000 600
to S350.O0o.
Modern thought having indicated the
Importance of well-cnred-for teeth.
seven travelling dentists have been en-
ployed, whose duty it is to keep the
teeth of the children enrolled in In
dian schools in the best condition prac-
ticable.
In an effort to improve the sanitary
surroundings under which Indians
must live, campaigns for sanitary
clean-ups have been waged on the va
rious reservations.
The Importance Of bringing about n
real improvement In infant mortality II
the Indian Is to be perpetuated has
been recognized, and an earnest cam
paign has been instituted and is now
in force to save the babies. This cam
paign has brought out the most cor
dial cooperation on the part of all en-
ployees In the service, and while the
results can only be shown after n
period of years its effectiveness is even
now apparent.

store that was opened today In the
Woods. Mr. Pink Toadstool and Mrs.
Yellow Toadstool had just been mar
ricd. They were very happy, but Mr..
Pink Toadstool said that times were
very hard In the Woods and that he
wanted to make great deal more
Money so he could give Mrs. Yellow
Toadstool all the things she wanted.
In fact he wanted her to have just us

made a great deal Of Wood Money.
"You see Mrs. Brown Toadstool

bought the most gorgeous Pnrasol ever

lkept fallowcd until the last OF June
when the seed is sown. This enables
MS to get a crop the first year either
for hog pasture or for hay.
Advantages OF this method are:
1. We do not lose the use OF the lana
for one year.
.. There is less damage from injury
by grasshoppers than in the case OF
late summer seeding.
3, 1t insures strong root system
and less chance Of winter killing. Inc
only disadvantage of this method Is
that, if the ground is foul the affairs
may be smothered by weeds.
Sprino Seeding Without Nurse Crop
In the West and North 1t has been
common practice to SOW In the spring
without nurse crop, keeping the
weeds moved down during the sum
mer to prevent smotherlng the alfalfa.
Ground that is manured ana fah-
plowed is best for spring seeding. ihe
next best is corn stalk ground. either
manured the year before or in the
winter or early spring, thoroughly
disked and narrowed and seeded about
the middle of April.
1t is important that the weeds be
moved two or three times during the
summer or they will choke out the al
falfa.
The disadvantages of spring sowins
are:
!. The loss OF one seasons crop
where no nurse crop is used.
.. The extra labor required to Keep
down the weeds.
3. The danger OF negleCttnS the
weeds and the consequent loss of
stand or securing only 'patchy

bring greater profits than five or
ten acres put into alfalfa, provided the
work is done properly and a good
stand is secured.
Alfalfa a Poor Weed Fighter.
Alfalfa, when small, grows slowly
and is not good weed fghter-that is,
it cannot compete with weeds, and es-
pecially with crab grass and foxtail
during the dry weather Of July and Au-
gust.
The following methods of seeding al
falfa are among those that have been
most successful in the United States:
Late Summer Seeding.
Probably no method will more Ger
tainly assure a good stand than to ma
nure a piece of stubble ground and
fall plow it, or manure the ground in
winter or spring, disk 1t thoroughly as
soon as possible in the spring tfirst
part of ApriD, plow the latter part Of
April, and again disk 1t should be
summer fallowed, that is, disked or
narrowed, often enough during May,
June, and the first part of July, to kill
the weeds and to prevent the ground
from becoming hard. Sometime during
the last part Of July or the early part
Of August the ground should be disked
and narrowed and the seed sown at
once with drill, or broadcast and har-
rowed in.
Oat or wheat stubble ground ma
nured and fall plowed is especially
good for alfalfa. Disk the ground the
following spring as soon as dry enough
to work, summer fallow and seed as
described above.
This meth01 has the advantage Of
L Clearing the ground of weeds, the
greatest enemy Of alfalfa.

FEW REALIZE VASTNESS
OF THE GRAND CANYON

Few persons can realize on n
first view of the Grand Canyon
that 1t Is more than mile deep
and from eight to ten miles
wide. The cliffs descending to
its depths form n succession Of
huge steps, each 300 to 500 feet
high, with steep rocky slopes
between. The cliffs are the
edges of hard beds of limestone
or sandstone; the intervening
slopes mark the outcrops of
softer beds. This series of beds
is more than 5000 feet thick,
and the beds lie nearly horizon
tai. Far down in the canyon Is
broad shelf caused by the
hard sandstone at the base OF
this series, deeply trenched by
a narrow inner canyon cut a
thousand feet or more into the
underlying granite" The rocks
vary in color from white and
buff to red and pale green.
They present marvellous va
riety of picturesque forms,
mostly on a titanic scale, fash
ioned mainly by erosion by run
ming water, the agent which
has excavated the canyon.

"coNscIENcE FUND" BOOSTED
Uncle Sam Enriched by More Than
$4,000, Biggest Contribution
Made In Any One Year.

Whether or not 1t is Indicative of
the growth Of the public conscience,
Uncle Sam profited more In 1915 by
the awakening Of the consciences Of
some individuals than he had in
any other year since the conscience
fund" of the treasury department came
into existence In 1887. In that year
the total contributions to the fund
were $3.50. During the last fiscal
year the fund was increased by more
than $4,000.
1t is pointed out that conscience has
recently been unusually active, not
only to enriching the federal treasury
but in helping private and public cor
porations and individuals. An Ohio
man paid 26 cents for apples stolen
