was right on deck and when the first
name was called lie called AYE" That
was all right, but this session Ander-
son Of Brown is first on the list, and
he was afraid that If tnC rule vas
passed his colleagues who smoke
would get ornery and untractable
along in the late afternoon, and he
wanted to vote nc So when Anderson

LEAD CONSUMPTION
 EXCEEDS OUTPUT,
 J. S. REPORT SHOWS

The United States Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior, in view of the scarcity and resulting high prices of lead, has completed mid year canvass of the production of that metal in the United States in the first six months of 1917. The report shows that the output of domestic de- silverized lead, excluding desilverized soft lead, in the first six months of 1917 was 152,231 short tons, as com pared with 316,469 tons in the twelve months of 1916.
 The output of domestic soft lead, including that desilverized, was 124,- 492 tons, as against 235,759 tons in the preceding twelve months. From foreign ores and bullion there were produced 29,539 tons of refined lead, as against 1896 tons in the whole of 1917. The total production of re- fined lead was 306,6O2 tons, or at the rate of 612,124 tons annually, as con- pared to a total of 571, ,134 tons in 1916 and 550,055 tons in 1915.
 An approximation can be made of the domestic consumption of lead in
Mohave County miner., 1917-11-24

the first six months of 1917, but in
 the absence of any statistics of stocks
 the rest must be regarded only as lead
 available for consumption" By add
 ing to the total production, 3O6,O62
 tons, the imports of refined lead, 1467
 tons, we get a supply of 307, ,529 tons.
 From this were withdrawn 38,534 tons,
 comprising the exports of domestic
 and foreign lead, including that ex- ported with benefit of drawback, which leaves as available for domestic consumption 26S,995 tons, indicating consumption at the rate of 538,000 tons year, as compared with 461, ,170 tons in 1916, with 419,55S tons in 1915, and with 452,497 tons in 1914. As suming that the apparent consumption in 1914, 452, 2,497 tons, was normal, the apparent consumption was below nor nal in 1915, owing possibly in part to the large exports of lead in that year, but it had risen to normal or more than normal in 1916. Apparent con at the rate of 538,OOO tons in the first half of 1917 seems con- siderably above normal and may be due in part to purchase by the United States government and in part to in crease in stocks. On a rising market, such as prevailed during most of the period, it is natural that consumers and other stocks should be augmented.
 Shipping difficulties will prevent the importation of much lead except from Canada and Mexico. In ordinary cir the Canadian lead bounty would keep practically all but refined ]

 '"You are asked to have one day a week without white bread. If the na- ton would stop eating white bread it would benefit it's health. We eat too much of it, anyway. You are asked to eat less meat. We eat too much meat; some men eat it seven times a week. You are asked to go without meat two days a week. You may eat rabbit or chicken, or any other kind of food, for by meat we mean beef.
 Seven ounces of sugar a week are asked; you are asked to go without candy. l have seen women at work for the Red Cross kitting hard and eating candy just as hard, and fast clothing the soldier with one set of muscles while they consumed his sugar with another.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 22.-In a late address, the following straight talk came from c. w. Crist, lately in Arizona as a representative of the na- tional food administration:
 "We must substitute for meat, wheat, sugar and dairy products. The reason for the substitution is that 70,000,000 men have been withdrawn from production of these things. Forty million are in the armies and 30,OO0,- 900 of them are in the mills and in dustries making ammunition and equipment.

 United States. At present prices the bounty does not operate and consider able lead is being imported from Can ada. Mexico is the chief foreign source of lead for the United States, however, and the imports during the first half of 1917 showed an encour- aging increase. The lead smelters at Monterey and Torreon, as well as the shelter at Cerralvo, are in operation, and it is reported that the San Luis POtosi smelter will soon be started.
