40 and 80 per cent respectively
The average value per ton at the

ore containing less than 5 per cent
of manganese.
Iron ore was mined in "a states

duced the largest quantities OF
iron ore, occupied in 1916 their

The Lake Superior district
mined nearly IS per cent of the
total ore in 1916 and the Birming-
ham district about 8 per cent. No
other district except the Adiron-
dack mined as much as 100000

ITEMS OF LOCAL AND PERSONAL INTEREST

The afternoon was pleasantly
spent knitting and doing fancy
work, and at the Appropriate time
the hostcsses served delightful
refreshments. At rather a late
hour A. H. Barth, who so far as
we know, does not belong to the
organization, being a mere man,
whereas the ladies are the only
eligibles, appeared on the scene
ostensibly to notify his wife that
this was their wedding anniver-
sary. and this caused such a COM
motion that the club thought they
could not fail to honor one of
their members on such an occa-
sion, and they had Mr.. Barth tie
up his automobile and remain to
a special wedding supper. The
club will be entertained by Mrs
Barth next time, and all membofs
are requested to bring the;F re-
cipe for the conservation of food
campaign.

|lleak's Amazing Prophecy Of War
Predicts Peace Before Christmas

"There will be wagons without
horses and fiery dragons will fly
through the air dropping fire and
sulphur and destroying cities and
villages. The people will turn to
God. This terrible war will last
three years and five months. The
time will come when food can
neither be sold nor bought and
bread will be carefully distribut-
cd. The seas will be tingcd with
blood and men will lie in wait un-
der the waves for their prey.
Here follows a reference to
America, which was in those
times often referred to as the
country of the seven stars"
"The people of the seven stars
will attack the ring of steel and
suddenly fall upon the bearded
nation in the rear and rcnd it in
twain. The whole of the lower
Rhine will trcmblc, but ncvcrthe-
less will endure to the end.
"The land in the west will soon
be one vast dcsolation and the
land in the ocean will, with its
king, be crushed and suffer all
the pangs of hunger. The land
of the bearded people will still
endure for a long time to come.
and following the world will be
united in one great brotherhood.
Peace BY Christmas.
"The victors will carry a cross,
and between four small cities and
four steeples Of equal height the
decisive battle will be fought. Be-
tween two linden trees the victor
will fall upon his knees before his
army. lift his hands to Heaven
and thank God: following this all
ungodliness will disappear; the
indecent dances that prevailed be-
fore the war will be seen no more
and God will reign in church.
state and famly.
"The war will commence when
the grain is ripening and will
reach its height when the cherries
bloom for the third time. Peace
will be consummatcd by the
prince in time for. the Christmas
|.msss."
All the German newspapers
have commented upon amazing
prophecy.
1T is remarkable" says one
paper. "how accurately this monk
has predicted events as they have
thus far occurred. We sincerely
hope that the longcd-for peace
will come, as he says, in order
that we all may breathe freely
again." \

Made on c. L S. Depot
The semi-annual raid was made

day night, and although the place
was left in utter confusion, no
material damage was done. En-
trance was made by prying open
one of the windows on the south
east side. The cash drawer was
pried open, but as Mr.. Banks, the
agent, observes the rules of the
company strictly with reference
to leaving no change of conse-
quence in the money drawer, not
a penny was lost, notwithstand-
ing the fact that there was $s.24

within the room.
The ticket case was also pried
open and the ticket and a coilec-
ton Of kodak pictures belonging
to Mr.. Banks, which consisted
mostly Of the pictures of his nu-
mcrous girls" were scattered all
over the room in widest profus-
ion, as If there might be a streal.
