AN INADEQUATE PENALTY.

Herman P Levine the New York school teacher who received a years sentence yesterday for refusing to register and encouraging others to do likewise. dealt with kindly. It may be that the court desired to give him a chance for reflection in order to put himself right as to what duty man owes to his country; particular ly man of his education. During his term he should be forced to learn his lesson thoroughly At that the punishment would be mild compared with what some refractory citizens of Germany have been made to suffer for the same offense. Hundreds paid the penalty with their lives and had they had more than one life, they would have had the others taken also

The Juneau Empire says in substance that if Ketchikan has 600 Red Cross members Juneau should have 1500. It all depends how one fig ures. Of course there are experts at figure juggling. Some there are who can almost make us believe that 10 equals 100 and so on But it all depends on the state of mind. To play make believe" is of course amusing but really there is nothing in it. Inflated figures deceive nobody. The Empire wants its readers to believe that Juneau has a population of over ten thousand inhabitants. Nervy, isn't she.

MODERN USES OF ZINC.

The greatest and most important
use of metallic zinc is for galvanizing,
and in normal times so per cent of all
the spelter manufactured is used for
this purpose. This process, originally
discovered in 1887, has made very big
strides within the last few years. 1t
consists of putting very thin coat of
the metal on iron to protect the latter
from oxidation by the atmosphere. 1t
is stated that zinc coating exerts a
greater protective action than tin
plating
Iron wire and tubes are treated with
acid Of IL per cent zinc. Some other
articles require a larger amount of
zinc, and the very thin wire requires
up to 25 per cent of its own weight
Next to galvanizing the most i'm.
portant use of zinc is in the manufact-
ure Of brass. This alloy contains from
80 to 81 per cent zinc, with the bal
ance of copper. Many are the uses
to which this alloy is put, and within
the last two years many additional
articles have been manufactured from
it.
A great amount of the brass manu-
faCtured in the United States since
the European war was started has
been used in the making of ammuni-
ton. Brass for this purpose must be
of a very high quality and, as a rule,
contains 80 per cent zinc and 70 per
cent copper.
As an indication of the quantity of
brass used for ammunition, the value
of cartridges exported in 1916 was
about $59,OO0OOO against $28,814,679
in 1915.

, PAGES WEEKLY LETTER.
O 3 D o o o @ o o I

Little Rock, Ark, March 7, 1917
The rainy and bad weather of March
will give the farmers some time that
cannot be used in the field, which
will provide a golden opportunity to
make some easy money through the
process of saving future expenses. Get
you a gallon or two of good ready mix
ed paint and paint brush, and when
the weather is too bad and the ground
too wet to plow, gather up all the plOw
tools, moving machines, single and
dOuble-trees and all farm implements,
and repaint them. Try to give them
two good coats of paint. 1t will
lengthen the life of tools and imple-
ments and save lots of money. Few
farmers do this, but those who do
make their implements last about
twice as long as those who don't.
Tools and implements are high now
and money saved in this way is money
made. Another way to make easy
money is to test your seed when you
can't do any outdoor work. Select
your seed corn if you have not al
ready, and take six grains from each
ear. Plant these in tin cans or boxes
filled with moist dirt and keep in the
house to see if the seed will come up.
Take the grains from different parts
of the ear. Also try out the other
field seeds by similar method. Find
out if your seed is good before you
plant it. Remember you are going to
have to cultivate poor stand just as
much as a good stand A good stand
also saves replanting. Re-planting is
tedious and hard work, and seldom
pays, but careful seed selection and
seed testing always pays. Test your
grass seed, oat seed, and in fact, every
KIND OF seed, and 90 1t now before
planting time. 1t is nothing short of a
calamity to have to plow up crop
on account of a poor stand, and by
testing your seed beforehand you will
seldom ii ever have to plow Up and
replant on account Of poor stand
Keep your brood sows, your COWS

A LESSON FOR THE SOUTH.

Whether there be war or peace
between this country and Germany;
whether war be continued in Europe
for another year or two, or whether
peace should come. the demand for
foodstuffs will exceed the supply, both
in this country and abroad.
The shortage in the worlds food
crop last year, taken in connection
with conditions created by the war,
brings us nearer to a famine in food
stuits than the world mas known in
this generation. If the crops of this
country should, by unfavorable wealth.
er conditions or by a lessened acreage,
be short of a full average yield, we
would have almost famine conditions,
because We will go into the next crop
practically barren of food supplies.
Nothing less than a bumper crop OF
grain will save us from extraordinarily
high prices for wheat and corn next
winter 1t is important that the whole
country should understand this situ-
alton but it is doubly important that
the farmers Of the south should under
stand 1t and plant the largest acreage
in grain which they have ever had in
order to save themselves from having
to pay the highest prices they have
ever paid for their foodstuffs.
Every business man in the south
should do all in his power to urge
upon southern farmers the planting
of grain and the raising of foOdstuffs
of all kinds this spring and summer.
The supply Of livestock in the entire
country in proportion to population is
growing steadily less, which is a seri.
Gus menace to the broadest national
prosperity, for with this decreasing
supply Of livestock there is naturally
a rapid increase in price, which makes
for higher cost of living. The south
is not alone in suffering from this
condition, for the situation is the
same throughout the country.
The aggregate value of all live stock
has greatly increased Of recent years,
but this is due to higher prices, and
not to a larger supply, a condition dia-
metrically opposite to the broad pros.
perity of farmers and of consumers.
With the population increasing at a
rate of approximately two per cent a
year, and the demand for foodstuffs
increasing more rapidly even than the
increase in population, because OF
more general employment and of high,
er wages, the increase in the number
of livestock is so small as to be neg.
ligible. Indeed, in some cases there
has been an actual decrease during
recent rs.-Manufacturers Record

FATAL ACCIDENT AT

Walter Bonham Is Killed In a Wreck

Of the Morning Star Mining Company,

GARDEN WORK FOR MARCH.

The farmers who expect to have a
garden during the early summer must
begin now to prepare for it. See that
the soil is put in the best condition by
thoroughly plowing and narrowing.
Soil that is cloddy is unfit for garden

Tomatoes, egg plants and peppers
should be planted in the hot bed and
given plenty Of water and ventilation.
In the open ground we may safely
plant radishes, lettuce, turnips, peas,
beets, carrots, onions, spinach, kale,
Swiss chard, potatoes, and mustard
For the small seeds which are planted
it is a good idea to see that the soil is
firmed over them as soon as planting
Is done, See that the crust is kept
broken over the rows so that the seed
can come up when ready. Keep on
the lookout for the appearance Of in.

SPELTER INDUSTRY HAS

A Gain Of $500 Per Cent in Exports

is that in two years spelter exports
gained over 1900 per cent

Not only were the zinc mines OF this
country worked to capacity, but there
were heavy importations of the pro-
duct, principally from Australia. This
appears evident from figures showing
that of last years exports of spelter

The Yellville Mining News says that
the record of production made at the
Big Hurricane is one that few mines
in any field can equal. Four car loads
of zinc concentrates, aggregating 216,-
600 ounds, were produced and shipped
from that property during last week.
With the more thorough opening of
the mine and more favorable working
weather, it is expected to still increase
the production there soon to a car load
a day. This is only an example Of
what may be accomplished at many
other mines in the Arkansas field,
with proper equipment and manage.
ment A few years ago, the Big Hur-
riCane was but a hill side prospect.
The owner tried mining with limited
equipment and under inexperienced
management, with failure as the re-
suit. Now, with ample equipment
and experienced, economic manage.
ment, the Big Hurricane is maklng a
record of production and profit that
possibly eclipses that of any mine in
the Joplin field. It's production dur
ing last week is worth around $500 to
$1,000 per day.
