The wool output of Missouri's ia
counties for 1916 amounted to 1925
600 pounds in the raw state, and when
the yield had been secured, 2,636,250
pounds, which quantity had a Boston
market value Of $2,109,O00, at 80 cents
per pound, announces Commissioner
William II. Lewis as advance infor-
nation from the 1917 Red Book" OF
the Bureau of Labor Statistics" The
European war made wool worth more
pound than has been the case in
any year since the civil war. In 1915
when the high price of CO cents par
pound, secured state, was reached, It
was thought that the limit had been
reached, but the 80 cents value estab-
lished a new record. In 1914 wool
averaged "a cents a pound, secured
state.
1t took 6S0,0O0 sheep to supply the
1916 output of Missouri wool, the
average per fleece being 6S per cent
and the shrinkage, when the wool was
secured amounted to 43 per cent. Five
per cent of the yield was rated as of
fine quality, and 80 per cent medium.
The process Of securing wool, while
it decreases the weight Of It, added
100 per cent to its value. Farmers
received from &c to 80 cents per
pound for wool in the raw state. The
80 cent per pound value is what Mis-
souri, wool was worth to eastern man.

ton, and in it is included the cost of
transportation and securing and the
profits of Missouri buyers and ship,
pers, middlemen, and, finally, the
wholesalers who sold direct to manu-

duced the 1916 output Of Missouri

made with the yield of 1915, the

Help reduce the increasing
number of chimney fires.
This is the call issued by John
B. Sanborn state fire marshal and
insurance commissioner.
During the present year, and
more especially this fall there
have been more fires reported
due to defective chimneys than
ever before.
"This means but one thing"
says Mr.. Sanborn, "that the peo-
pie do not take precautions to
clean the fues. Accommodations
of SCOT during the months when
fires in the home are unnecessary
become most dangerous when the
stoves and furnaces are again
called into use. 1t is this which
causes chimney fires"
The fire marshal urges all peo-
pie to take extra precautions to
prevent unnecessary loss from
fires of this nature this year when
the government is demanding
conservation and sacrifice TO
help win the war;"

Reserve For Future

The Mining Review is informed
that at no previous time have the
eyes of the iron ore consuming in
terests been turned with greater
appreciation toward the Lake Su-
perior region than now, says
Skilling's Mining Review. The
time may not be particularly pro-
pitious for the active acquiring
of iron leases, but the news pub
lished recently of the taking over
of the Scranton and Plymouth
leases certainly goes far to con-
firm the report Of the very gene
raj interest which consumers feel
in future ore requirements which
they may command.
The iron ore of the Lake Su-
perior region admittedly has ex-
ercised, and will continue to ex-
ercise, the most important infu-
ence upon the iron and steel IN
| dustry Of the world. That the
dema1 d for these iron orr leases
will be active during the yea, s
to come seems natural sequence.
The theory of some thoughtless
people, who have not yet come to
understand that even the wonder
full Mesaba is exhaustible, that
there is an excess of iron ore of
desirable grade and structure, is
a mistaken one. The tremendous
demands from year to year can
not always be offset by new dis
| coveries. The amazing tonnage
of the Mesaba may be duplicated
on the Guyana range. Many
think it will. Certain it is that
the Guyana will be great pro-
Queer.
There are expert iron mining
men who hold that the Vermilion
range will eventually produce as
much ore as the Mesaba. If that
is a good guess, it means that the
Vermilion district will be produc-
| ing generations hence, which is
not to be considered a guess, but
a certainty. The ore lies deep,
as a rule, on the Vermilion. 1t is
not as readily located, and shaft
operations must be depended
upon. There are individual mines
on the Mesaba which can, and do,
at the present time produce more
ore in year than the entire Yer
million range. But this district
has a very important future
The Vermilion is attracting new
exploration companies that real
ize the Importance OF controlling
ore of that district.
| The discovery. of the easily
mined ores Of the Mesaba imme,
diately diverted attention from
| the Vermilion in the early nine
ties. but even then it was under
stood, as now, that the neglect
would be but temporary.

your father, and the old chap may be able to give you some trace of him. I'd like to ask him out here, but l think We would better wait until mother calms down, don't you?"
 "Oh, most assuredly!" I returned, although my heart was filled with a fierce resentment that I should be unable to offer this old friend of my mothers the hospitality of my home on account of an old womaHs tan trums.
 Dicky looked at me keenly.
 "I know what you're thinking, sweetheart" he said wistfully, "and agree with you, it is unjust. But if mother stays in our home at all we will have to expect these exhibitions once in a while. She has always had them When I was a boy they terror ized me. and now for years she has had that heart affection so that I do not dare to cross her too far
 "If ever Harriet and Edwin come back from the hospital in France the problem will be solved, for mother will of course, go back to them. Harriet is so devoted to Edwin, so busy With his work that she lets mother run the house, and that, of course, SultS llo uldIcI lO d
 "But if mother becomes too un- reasonable, makes life too unpleasant for you, I'm not going to wait for Harriet to get back he continued I'm going to fit up a little apartment for her, get somebody to stay with her, and make her live by herself. I'm not going to have your life spoiled by her unreasonabl bleness."
 I felt my heart leap with joy at the picture his words brought to my mind. To have Dicky all to myself, with no critical witness of our joys and our sorrows, our agreements and our quar- rels, to be free-it was all I could do not to put my arms around my hus- bands neck and murmur my. happi- ness at his proposition.
 But I knew I must not accept his offer, at least not unless things got much worse than they were. So put my hand against his lips.
 "Nice F'rilIy Name-''
 Hush, dear! I am not going to listen to you if you talk like that. There must be no thought of any other home for your mother than ours until her daughter comes back. Just SUD- pose she were alone in an apartment and anything should happen to her
