OUR PEARLING INDUSTRY.
NJ Wonderful Growth and It's Effect
Upon Our MusseI Beds.

In our midwestern states the pearl
ing industry is carried on to even
greater extent than it is abroad. Its
aroduct amounts to many millions of
dollars annually and includes all jew
els worth while and the making of
pearl buttons, which is an industry in
itself. The business of pearl button
making had it's beginning in the high
tariff imposed on imported buttons by
the law of 1890.
On account Of the abundance of suit
sbleA mussels in the Mississippi river
the first factory for the manufacture
Of pearl buttons from mussel shells
vas erected at Muscatine. Ia, and the
industry has grown to such an extent
that it now employs nearly $4,000 per-
sons, who turn out approximately 50O,-
100000 gross of buttons. To produce
this amount there We're used over 49,
900 tons of mussel shells.
The button business has attained
large proportions, doing approximate
Iy $1O,OOO,O00 worth each year. Al
though the mussel fishery is compare
lively new, probably not more than
swenty years old, continued fishing has
had pronounced influence on the pro-
ductivity of the mussel beds and bids
fair to lead to serious consequences.
The principal species Of mussel used
Cor button making is generally known
As the "niggerhead." They have the
general shape Of the common round
clam and are characterized by a very
thick and heavy shell. They have
black or dark brown outside skins and
glistening white interiors, this being
uniform through the thickness of the
shell. Other species are highly priced.
but rare, and some are Of little value
because Of the thinness and brittleness
Of the shells. Charles A. Sidman in

The Mothers, in council.


"Have you tried the Red Dog -four.
and how do you like it?" Eyes, we
bought a small amount to try. Then
we made a sponge of white flour and
when light took out enough for one
loaf and added the war -four to stiffen,
tho it must be as soft as can be
worked. We do not put sugar or
lard in bread any more, and find it
just as good without. Well, we all
called it fine, at first while fresh, but
when we had eaten it for the third
meal we began to tire of it, and were
glad there were some loayes of white
to fall back on. All right for change
as we make graham, corn bread, ETC.,
but for steady diet give us the white
bread like mother used to make'
'tWe didn't know we could buy
small quantity, so we bought a sack,
then of course we could not afford a
sack of white flour. The children
complain bitterly, instead of learning
to like it; they actually 60 hungry"
We found too, that one cannot use it
to advantage when it gets dry, doesn't
make good toast, bread pudding, etc,
as we think"
What is the use of trying to use
cornmeal instead of white flour, it is
no cheaper, and must be baked fresh,
ard milk and other ingredients used?
Our folks are very fond of johnny
cake and fried mush once in a while
yes, twice in a while says little Jack,
but it doesn't take the place of bread
by any meals"
What about rye bread? That is
all right too for a change, but all
farmers are wise enough not to feed
much of it to the young stock, and
the same may be said of cornmeal, it
is too fattening for young animals
and children. Nature suggests that
we eat sparingly of these and we
think it better to be guided by our
own natural appetites rather than
the opinions of some of our food die
tators who suggest ways of getting
the growing children to eat these
foods against their will.".

The production of whiskey in this
country has been stopped. Herbert
Hoover's order shut down all whiskey
making at IL o'clock, Friday night,
Sept. Sth, and by it the country is
given 100000 bushels of foodstuff,
which, will go a long way towards
keeping the wolf from the door of
American homes. The order of Mr..
Hooyer's is to be effective during the
war. Distilleries will continue to
manufacture alcohol for governmental
purposes. The consumption of the
country has been about 150,000,00O
gallons per annum and there are 232,-
404,S70 gallons stored in warehouses.

100000 Trained Soldiers by june

Two million men in active service
and training camps by June 30, is the
plan of the war department. Another
draft of 100000 men this winter is
planned.
This became known on Friday when
statements of Secretary Baker and
expert advisors before the recent
hearings of the house appropriations
committee were printed as public
statement.
By Oct. 10 the department expects
to have 100000 under arms. If suf-
fcient equipment and accommodations
have been obtained for these men
another draft will be recommended to
the president.
All war department estimates were
asked by Secretary Baker and grant
ed by the committee on the assump-
ton that the president will issue the
call.
There are about million men I'M
der arms today-soldiers militia and
marines. When the first draft mobil-
ization is completed, there will be
over 1000, 900 men. Another draft this
winter will compl lie the 100000 men
expected.
Heavy appropriations for machine
guns and rifles were allowed on the
plea of shortage in these munitions
by Gen. Crozier, who declared that
failure to follow an adequate pro-
gram in the past had left the country
short on field artillery, machine guns
and rifles
