done for his beloved silver what peac
never could have achieved
Decreased Mexican Production.

Set against this is decreased pro-
duction. The output in this country
has remained stable. But Mexico. be-
fore the outbreak of her revolution,
was producing about 100000 ounces
year regularly. Now she is mining
only about 100000 ounces.
Performances of silver furnish a sort
of sporting column for the financial
journals. Gold itself has been achiev-
ing some spectacular stunts but sill
yer, consistent with its appearance, has
been more mercurial. And the end is
not yet.

Soldiers Are Paid in Silver.

| Our soldiers are being paid largely
! in silver. They demand it because they
need small change, and to give them
| drafts on the Treasury, or large de-
! nomination bills, would mean that they
would have to get them changed in the
vicinity of training camps anyway
When they go abroad they will be paid
entirely in silver. Silver is good any
where in Europe. Paper money, because
of the varying rates of exchange, is not
easily negotiable.
India. long known as the world s
Sink hole" for gold. also has become,
In trade parlance. sponge" for sill
yer. Inha bitants of that vast land
are skeptical about paper money. They
want silver for their vast Small-trading
operations. Moreover, they prize it
highly, almost with an idolatrous fer
vor. for personal adornment and house
hold ornamentation. Indians of high
caste must be buried with silver orna-
ments. Just now India is producing
things that the warning nations need
India wants silver in return, and she
is getting it: in just what quantities
no one knows. Therefore, Japan, which
is dealing extensively with India. is
asking for silver from the United
States to carry on trade with India.
China Alone Has Silver Standard.
China is using much silver That is
the only great country which has a
silver standard. Coolies in the shin
yards there are paid every day in silver
Any business boom means a de-
mand for smaller silver coin. Never
before has there been such a demand
to pay private workers in factory
and foundry as there is now. not to
mention the demands of the govern
ment itself for its work of making
munitions. building ships and meeting
other war needs.
Cyanide, necessary for extracting sill
yer from other ores. is scarce because
It is used extensively in munitions
making. This shortage of cyanide has
hampered the production of silver in
this country.
These are a few Of the principal rea-
sons for the greatly augmented de-
mand for silver. Though they are the
major factors. experts can give many
more. But they are sufiicient to show
why the price Of silver in this country

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
HOME AGAIN
BY Farmer Smith

Sometimes when you think you are
tree. you are tied after ALL" thought Billy
Bumpus as he lay quite still ON the ground
after Mrs. Beaver had gnawed the ropes in
two and let him free,
what shall do?" he whined
BE brave and wiggle your feet" said Il

Bily.
We'll. well | wonder if that little voice
is inside of me. | must have q telephone
ALI my own. Yes, little voice, | will he

wiggle his feet
lie .ay quite still wondering what it was
that spoke to him 81 wonder If it could
be my conscience" thought Billy. 81 have
heard much about the voice of conscience,
but | guess we have TO get into a lot of
trouble before we listen to it,"
BY and by Billy got up once more. and to
mis- surprise he could walk,
slowly" said the little voice, which
Billy began to recognize.
Thank you, little voice; ! would not go
FAST If / could, but | thank you just the
same"
II was very dark by this time, but Billy
kept on aid on, slowly at first and then
a little faster, until by and by he saw the
lights of Goatville and he knew he was
nearing home.
He had seen the lights before. but never
had they seemed so bright TO him. after
ALL there is no place like home" he ex-
claimed.
He wondered why everything was so
quiet and still Why were they not search
ing for him? He expected to see lights
bobbng here and there and to find parties
out looking for him, and he felt quite disap-
At length he reached his own home and
tried the door. 1t was locked. He rang
pointed. II suppose It is the war spirit"
he said They would not miss a general
even in times of war"
As Billy Bumpus trotted up the main
street of Goatvllle there was no one to be
seen. He looked this way and that only
to see the bright lights gistening in the
homes, and here and there the sound of
music.
the bell and no one answered. Then he
rang it again more vigorously. Then he
waited. BY and by he heard noise inside
and the door opened softly.
"Who is it?" asked a voice which Billy
| recognized as his wife's.
1T is your own Billy he answered.
"Oh It's you, is it? Walk right in
MY wife thinks her own husband is a
stranger" Billy thought to himself,
Mrs. Bumpus was very quiet as she sat
down by the evening light.
Billy waited for her to speak, but she did
not there was nothing for him to do but
| stat the conversation. Mrs Bumpus
thought she would wait until he had told her
what had happened. SHE would not be sur
prised at anything.
II captured the airship." started Billy.
II had a hard time of it, you may he sure.
| went to rescue the Ducklings, and what
do you think"
Billy hoped his wife would say some-
thing, but she did not
II wonder if she knows what happened?"
he asked himself under his breath. Then a
sudden thought struck him. What If Mrs.
Beaver had told his wife. There had been
time for her to do so for had he not been
unable 10 walk for long time after Mrs.
Beaver released him?
He felt chill, coming over him!
