Country's Salt Consumption.

Most persons, if asked which we use
the more Of, salt or sugar, would prob
ably say sugar, but the staticians at
Washington figure that the per capita
consumption of salt in the United
States last year was almost exactly
100 pounds, and of sugar 1914. The
statement is, however, somewhat mis-
leading. No person could eat two
pounds of salt week and expect to
live. Much that is set down to the
per capita consumption is really used
in curing meat and fish that later on
are exported, and in making pickles
and freezing ice cream We consume
more ice cream than all the rest of the
world put together-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Revival Closed

progress at the Presbyterian chur(
for two weeks, under the leader
ship of Rev. VIM E. Hudson, o.
Staunton, closed on Monday night
Mr.. Hudson had intended to close
the meeting on Sunday night, but,
yielding to the request of a crowded
house on that occasion, he con-
sented to preach again on Monday
night. 1t is safe to say that he
felt amply rewarded for any sacrl-
fee that this additional service may
have cost him, for dozen or more
presented themselves at the alter
and enlisted with the large army
that had been previously enrolled.
The success and far-reaching i'm
portance of MIR. Hudson's evange-
listic meeting have been the theme
of conversation on all occasions and
in all gatherings, and the great
moral up-lift, the universal better
ment, that came as a. result, are
most gratifying to all the people.
AS stated before, Mr.. Hudson's
methods are impressive and effect
tive, free from harshness and
abuse, so much SO, in fact, that if
he has received word of unkind
criticism since he began work in
the county, no one seems aware of
it.
Perhaps the meeting reached its
crest, in point of interest and I'M
pressiveness, on Saturday night
Good Fellowship Night" The
church was filled to its capacity, in
fact, this was true of each service
held, and after the sermon, an ap-
peal was made to all who had any
enmity in their hearts to meet in
front of the altar and "wipe out
the past" Former friends and
families who had been estranged
for months and years responded,
and the scene was one long to be
remembered and appreciated by
the people, not only of the town,
but of the entire county.
At the service Sunday night,
four bright, promising young men
of the town and community ex--
pressed their desire and purpose to
enter the ministry when the preach
er asked if there were any who had
outlined specific work for the Mas
ter, more especially that mention
ed.
The doors of the church were
opened at the Presbyterian church
Sunday morning and night and a
large number were received. A
like opportunity was given at the
Methodist church Tuesday night
after a sermon by the pastor. and
with a like result. We did not
learn the number in either case Mr..
Parker announced on Sunday
morning that Isl persons had pre-
sented themselves up to that time,
and it is probable that the number
was increased to IT'S before the
meeting closed on Monday night.
The attendance at the two Sab
bath schools was greatly augment
ed on Sunday morning by the in
Auence at work, both schools hav-'
ing a record attendance.
The voluntary offering made on
Sunday to aid Mr.. Hudson in
further evangelistic work amounted
to $4,000, according to his own
statement. The evangelist left for
his home in Staunton Tuesday
morning.

in order that the farmer keep up
with his business and know how

returns. From such an account
the farmer can also gain much val

alton or expenditures produced the
best returns and which ones pro

able. A livestock record should
also be kept, giving cost and val

Big Mining
Merger at
Oatman

Oatman, Ariz. Dec. 26.-Things
of Importance are daily happening
here. Scarcely had the news been
made public that the TomReed mine
had uncovered their greatest and
most valuable ore vein on the II75
level when the consolidation of the
United Eastern and the Tom Reed
mines was announced.
This act will make the greatest
gold mine on the Pacific Coast.
The Tom Reed has for the past
four or five years sent over 81 ,ooo-
600, 900 worth of gold to the mint
anually and of this amount sixty
per cent has been paid to the stock
holders as dividends.
The United Eastern; the mining
sensation of the past Yrar, has over
$4,000, 900 worth OF ote in sight
and year ago its stock went beg
ging at 10 cents share. Today it
is quoted around the 81 mark.
The Reed has the milling facili-
ties, the thing the U~nited Eastern
were unable to get, owing to the fact
that the eastern manufacturers could
not switch their mutions-of-war
contracts with the warning Euro
pean nations. Hence the consolida-
ton will be of mutual benefit to
both companies.
The Tom Reed has beon busy dur
Jag the past year opening up new
ore veins; the greatest of which is
the ledge on their Black Eagle.prop'
erty; this ledge rivals anything ever
found by the United Eastern and

Installing
Oil Tanks

c. r. Moss, the live wire propri-
etor Of the oil, gasoline and distil-
late business in Benson, has pur-
chased FIVE lots, across the track
just opposite his ice house and this
week has crew of carpenters at
work constructing huge platform
on which to mount two big gaso-
line and oil tanks.
The tanks Will have a capacity
of ID, 900 gallons each. The ma
terial for the tanks, which will be
constructed Of iron, is already. on
the ground and work of assem- mbl-
ing will start as soon as the plat
form is completed. One of the
tanks will be used for either gaso
line or distillate and the other will
be used for a special gas engine
fuel.
The tanks will be located far
enough away from the railroad or
any residence or business, that an
explosion would do no damage.
A gasoline engine and pump is in
stalled at the ice house which will
be used IN pumping oil or gaso-
lire from the railroad into the
tanks.
The improve ment will enable
Mr.. Moss to handle his gasoline
and oil business with more econo-
my and he will. be able to furnish
the product to his customers cheap
sr than they could get it elsewhere.
