for operating them. In addition to
printed instructions we had drill in
which all participated by appearing
on deck, at given signal or six short
toots of the whistle, with life belts
on ready to enter the boats. The
Captain saw personally that each
passenger knew how to adjust and
wear properly the life belts. He then
gave instructions for entering the
boats in case it became necessary
Women and children were to put on
the life belts and enter the boats as
soon as possible. The men were to
wait until the boats were lowered in
ders provided for that purpose. Dur
ing this time, we travelled without
lights and the striking of matches or
the smoking of cigarettes was for-
bidden. This order was not strictly
observed and l believe some Europe
ans would land in the bottom of the
sea rather than leave off smoking.
/ During the last two nights the Cap
tain requested the passengers not to
remove their clothing. Nobody
seemed to be especially excited or
afraid and strange to say some of
the passengers took occasion to get
on a big drunk during the nights
when the danger was greatest. For
tunately the precautions were not
necessary but they were appreciated
by some of US at least and we felt we
had gotten something in return for the
25 per cent. war tax which had been
put on the price of our tickets. We
saw some cruisers, mine sweepers
and torpedo boats. Every boat of
whatever description was carefully
scrutiniZed.
According to the schedule the
steamer from Bordeaux to New York
should have sailed about noon on Sat
urday. The Europe" did not ar
rive until Saturday so we supposed
we would have to wait for another
steamer. Fortunately the "Rocham-
beau" was still in Bordeaux and was
not to leave until the 18th hour "a
o'clock on Sunday. We spent
! Sunday forenoon in procuring pas
sage, getting our baggage through
customs and on the next steamer, etc
Everything was quiet in Bordeaux
/ but on every hand there were eviden-
ces of the war. The street cars
motor cars, push carts and delivery
wagons were for the most part run
\ by women. The hotels and business
houses were in charge of women and
aged men. The same was true of the
custom houses. On almost every
turn we we're solicited for aid for the

Red Cross men and women were on
board returning to the states. Dur
ing the last night of the voyage when
the danger was perhaps greatest and
the ship was sailing in darkness, an
entertainment was given in the sa-
loon. Most of the addresses pertain
ed to the war and it's relation to
France and U. S. A. Some very high
compliments were paid to the work
of the American Red Cross Society
Most of the representatives on board
appeared like very fine people but
was ashamed and disgusted beyond
measure when three of the young
dotcors came in near the close of the
program so drunk they could scarce
ly walk. In fact they had to be ex-
PEELED from the room before the pro-
gram could be finished. Various
means were used in raising money as
result Of which four thousand
franc or nearly eight hundred dollars
was realized.
We arrived at New York on Thurs
day afternoon, November % and I
can bear testimony that we We're pro-
foundly grateful to put our feet
again on American soil. The task of
of opening up and displaying our
goods to the custom house officials did
not disturb US in the least. We did
not notify friends of our arrival but
we took it for granted that New
York hotels would open their doors
to US; but to our great surprise we
found that they were filled to over
flowing. This was due to a meeting
of the hotel Keepers Association and
the Army and Navy foot ball game.
1t was with great difficulty and after
prolonged search that we finally
succeeded in getting a small room at
an exhorbitant price. We got out the
next day for Granville where we have

It was reported in New York that

beau left Bordeaux, was sunk by a

not we'll informed concerning Inter
national law and the rules and regu-
lations of modern warfare but l am
unable to see any reasonable excuse
for sinking passenger ships without

Germany persists in that sort of bu-
siness it seems to me that the least
which our government can do is to
sever diplomatic relations with her
and let her be to us as heather and
barbarians.

GRAND OPERA IN TOLEDO

Again will Giacomo Puccini, the
most popular of all modern compos-
ers, be represented in the repertoire
of the Boston-National Grand Opera
Company in its engagement at the
Valentine Theatre, Toledo, Friday
and Saturday, January 26th and 9th.
This composers splendid ''Tosca" will
be the opening bill of their visit Fri
day night. A few years ago Puccini's
name was invariably associated with
Madam Butterfly in this country, al
though his other operas held equal
sway in Europe. Since than his "Tos-
ca" and "Boheme" have climbed in
popularity until they have become as
great favorites as his japanese
tragedy in this country. The same
thing is happening in the case of Mas
cagni, whose name was known by one
opera, "Cavalleria Rusticana," until
he brought out his equally beautiful
Iris which is fast rising in vogue,
and which, in many cities, has attract
ed even larger audiences than the
earlier work. There have been SC
many parallel cases in musical his
tory that it would seem that this is
but a natural process of evolution
Verdi's 'Trovatore" was long cast in
the shadow by his earlier success
''Ernani," which continued his most
popular composition for years, before
being surpassed by Verdi's later
works The same change of vogue may
be traced in the operas of Rossini, Do
nizetti and many other early compos-
ers, as we'll as in those of more re-
cent times.

Puccini's "Tosca" will be presented

FINENEss OF LIMESTONE

The effectiveness of limestone is de-
pendent upon its fineness as well as
upon its purity. Tests at the Ohio
Experiment Station indicate that
limestone ground to the ordinary de-
gree of fneness is satisfactory for
correcting soil acidity.
More than threefourths of the
coarse limestone applied in these tests
still remained in the soil unchanged
after two years Material coarser
than one-twentieth inch has little i'm
mediate effect, chemists at the Expert
ment Station say, because it cannot be
as thoroughly distributed throughout
the soil and therefore cannot act as
quickly in correcting acid conditions
as more finely ground material. Lime
stone as marketed having 100 per
cent to pass through sieve with 10
meshes to the linear inch, so per cent.
to pass SO mesh and 35 per cent. to
pass 100 mesh is considered satisfac-
tory for all practical purposes.

MINERAL VEAL TIL
Largest Production of Minerals In
the History of The United States
1916 Marks A New Advance in Min
eral Industry of This Country.

Ten mines in Arizona paid $34,000,-
600 in dividends during the past year.
Adding Utah, Montana, Nevada and
Idaho dividends to those of Arizona
we have total of over 100000, 900
in dividends paid out of the mines of
these five western States in single
year
These are some Of the impressive
facts brought out by the report of the
Geological Survey of Secretary Lane
just made. "Never BEFORE" said Mr..
Lane, "has SO large a draft been
made on the natural resources of our
country as during this year, and never
before have the metals been extracted
from these ores with less waste or
utilized to better advantage in advanc-
ing the general prosperity of the
country. Even as written in the plain
figures Of 1916 production the wonder
ful record of our mines sets forth a

Again copper stands out as the
best illustration of how American
mines can meet a world demand. The
output of nearly 2 billion pounds of
the red metal is double that of ten
years ago and it's value is twice that
of the copper produced in 1915. Add
to this the facts that in value copper

ONE sPUD EVERY THREE DAYS

One potato every three days to each
person IN the United States instead Of
one potato every day is the limit al
lowed by the 1916 potato crop, accord
ing to Eugene H. Grubb, the "Potato
KING" and owner of extensive potato
lands near Carbondale, Colo. His fig
ure5 are based upon an average OF 100
potatoes per busheI and q total pro-
auction Of 250,000,00O bushels which
means only a bushei and peck or 128
potatoes this year for each American.
In knowledge OF potato culture and
fertility of the soil farmers in the
United States are from forty to fifty
years behind the farmers of Europe.
The potato crop is she most difficult
one to grow. This vegetable is most
easily effected from bad soil and
weather conditions" said Mr.. Grubb.
ii farmers Of America studied the
raising Of potatoes their crops would
average from 200 to $50 bushels an
acre instead OF eighty bushels, as al
present. Some of the best farmers
abroad make their lands yield as high
IS 500 and even 700 bushels an acre
