A NEW RECORD IN MINING

The United States possesses the
widest range and greatest aggregate
mineral and metal resources Of any
country in the world. II produces
more coal, more copper, more petro-
leum, more silver, more iron-more
of almost anything that can be taken
out Of the ground-than any rival
Under the influenced Of the present
era of Astounding prosperity which
Europe's misfortune has brought to
this nation, all records in mining
production are being broken. The
Geological Survey announces that in
the first half Of this year the output
Of bituminous coal, iron, zinc, lead,
copper, and silver will be the great
est ever known, and there is no doubt
that this will be true for the COM
pleted year. Thus, in iron ore from
the upper lake region, the first half
of 1915 produces more than 80 per
cent Of the entire production Of 1915.
Even in petroleum, the year
despite the decreased output from
the great Cushing field, will prob.
ably surpass all former ones.
And it Is being done without q
strain on the producing capacity Of
the nation.

WAR AS A MENU MAKER

Now the vegetarians are to have
their day in court, as the prohibi-
tionists are having it. Germany's
order for compulsory menu for the
civil population, which will contain
. decided reduction in the amount
Of meat to be consumed; should
furnish some' interesting figures,
providing care is taken in watching
The resultant effect, if any, concern
ing those organic diseases supposed
to be furthered by an excessive con-
sumption Of meat. So the prohibi-
tionists will have chance to prove
their case upon the showing Of Rus
sia's population in these vodka-less
days.
The meat card system is in force
s!ready. in the south German states
and in the larger cities Of Prussia.
Consumption Of meat has varied
greatly through the empire, and it
Is proposed to standardize 1t, and fix
the standard as low as is compatible
with the public health.
From the individual vegetarian en-
thusiast few of US have had immun-
ity. He is a bubbling individual,
prone to 60 into details about his
meals. He points to himself, usually
as the undeniable proof that meat is
poisonous, or at least unwholesome
and that all we need to become per.
feet physical specimens is to eat his
prepared hay and oats, with hand.
full of nuts for dessert. That he is
usually a sallow, lathy person him.
self he permits to be no bar to his
argument. .-.
It is coming to be accepted al
fact, however, that most people, anc
particularly most Americans, do eat
too much meat The German limo
walton, to be tried on such a vas
number Of people, should furnish
proof of that assertion or effectuall!
disprove it.

ONLY GOVERNMENT WORKERS
+ OVERLOOKED

j Now Il IL the Atchison Railway
Company that offers q plan Of ben
elits for employees, amounting to life
insurance carried by the corporation.
II IL somewhat different in principle
from any system adopted by any
other large American concern, 50 far
be IL recalled. In brief, the company
will pay, on the death Of an employee,
to his estate . sum representing B
per cent Of his last years salary,
multiplied by the number Of years Of
his service.
Thus, man who has drawn 81 200
q year, and been in the service twen-
ty years, would leave his beneficiary
$1,000. A limit of $500 is placed
on the amount.
One trembles to think Of the de-
nunciation that such a proposal
would receive if it were seriously
brought forward for application to
Government employees. The railway
company does not expect cohtribu-
tions from the employees; it will pay
the money out Of its treasury. Pos
sibly Uncle Sam will some day adopt
a approximation and retirement plan
based on contributions Of the en-
ployes; that is about all that could be
hoped for in anything like the pres
ent attitude toward public servants.
Needless to say, railroad men have
recourse against their employers for
damages in case of injury or death
in the service. So have small pro-
portion Of Government employees;
the rest are denied it. &
Most great railroads also have. sys-
TENS of retirement for age, with in.
comes assured by the company. The
Government likewise denies this to
its workers.
Why must the Federal Govern
ment be last Of all employers in rec
ognizing its obligations Of common
sense and common humanity to its
people?

MOLL o. THE PITCHER

The great bronze figure Of the
heroine Of Monmouth, unveiled last
Wednesday at Carlisle. Pa, will be
another testimony that republics are
maligned when charged with ingrati-
tude. II statues Of fearless women
are rare, 1t 10 because their daring
has been in ways too obscure for
the record of history or tradition.
Buxom Mary Hays, Of fighting
Irish blood on her mothers side,
came into the limelight when Wash
ington with hot words drove back
Lee to fling his troops again upon
Clinton's rear and turn retreat into
a victory. From the time her hus-
band enlisted at the outbreak Of the
Revolution she had trudged behind
the marching soldiers. In more than
one engagement she brought huge
stone jug Of water to the battlefield
first for her husband and then fol
his comrades, who gratefully called
her Moll of the pitcher, soon short.

It was not for woman's work OF

to the rear. All the long sultry day
June 20, 177s, she loaded and re-
fired, running, between ramming II
fresh charges, to relieve her wound

saved the day. There is some colo,
for this in the fact that at the con
sentative Washington's recommen

voted her a sergeant's commissio,
and half pay through life.
