much encouraged and elated. The
mines In and near New Canton. this
county. already prospected and found
plentifully supplied with a high-Erade
sulphur or pyritc. will shortly begin
operation upon large commercial
scale.
The Mckenna mine. now known as
the Watson. or the Jones mine. was
recently opened for copper. but such a
rich deposit of pyrite was found. In ad-
dltion to copper. that the mine will
be operated principally for it's sulphur
ores. The johnson mine, adjoining,
has already produced large quantities
OF pyrite; and the Armour interests. Of
Chicago. large fertilizer manufacturers,
are expected shortly to take this prop
crly over for full development. The
Terrell mine. adjoining the Jones mine
on the east. will also be operated In
conjunction with the Jones mine. The
Hudgins mine, farther to the west ia
expected also to gurnIsh pyrite.
Pyrite. from which sulphuric acid Is
made for explosive and fertilizer pur-
poses. has become very scarce i'm the
United States. especially since there
are not now bottoms enough to bring

came to this country from Spain. and

SHORTAGE IN TIN PLATE
Smoking Tobacco Manufacturers and
Other Packers Urged to Use Paper
Containers Where Possible.

Although Americas tin plate output
this year shows 20 per cent increase
over last year. there still is danger OF
shortage. tho Department OF Com
mercc announces. in a statement urging
packers to turn to paper and fiber con-
tanners wherever possible. The tin
plate output for the first ha.f Of the
year In terms OF bases boxes, accord
Ing to Department of Commerce fig
ures, was 16.03s.732. against n total
production Of 26,97s,s94 last year.
in View of these facts the manufac.
turers OF smoking tobacco throughout
the country are urged to use paper
packages in the place OF tin cans in
packing their goodstfor the smokers.
1t is argued that the use of paper bags
is not only cheaper for the manufac-
'urcr and the consumer as we'll. but
Will help prevent shortage in tir

PEANUT INDUSTRY ESTABLISH
ES RECORD.

Austin, Tex, Jan. Shy Union As
ISOLATED Press)--Statistics just gath
cred by the State of this seasons
yield show that the Texas peanut in
dustry has reached enormous proper
lions which means much to the live
stock and commercial interests Of the
State. The total acreage was approx
imately 100000, and each acre is
yielding an average of sixty bushels,
making the total production approx
imately 100000 bushels. The cot
ton seed oil mills afford the principal
market for the crop, and the price
they are paying at present is 81 a
bushel. Furthermore each acre of
peanuts gives an average of one ton
of hay, which sells readily for $12 a
ton. At this price this seasons crop
Of peanut hay will bring up to $685.
100000. Judging from the encourage
ment which the cottonseed oil CON-
panies are giving the peanut industry
the acreage in that crop in Texas will
be more than double next year.

MISSOURI LAWMAKERS FIND
ROOMS SCARCE.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 3-(By
Union Associated Press)-Should the
Forty-ninth General Assembly which
opened here today spend as much time
discussing and condemning hotel and
room rates in Jefferson City, as the
session four years ago, in proportion
to the rates now and then, it may be-
come necessary to call an extra ses-
sion to attend to the regular bust
ness of the State. Rooms are so
scarce that the situation here has
been described as polite banditry,
under the guise Of running a hotel"
by some of the legislators. The most
ordinary rooms, without bath, are
being held at $35 to $50 a month,
while those with bath are bringing
$50 to $3.50 a month, and all on the
European plan.

THE COME BACK" OF FRANCE.

For a quarter OF a century preceding the pres
emit European war the American people through
writers for magazines and other periodicals were
told that the French people were a degenerate
race, that their end was not far off, that they
could not long successfully compete with other
peoples, because of their emotionalism and their
thirst for life's pleasures.
France today, at the end Of two and a quarter
years Of intense strife, with a large part of her
country invaded by and held by her Teutonic en-.
emies, is showing how false were these ~calcula.
tions of a class of writer's who saw only the sur
face, never the true character of the French
people.
Recent reports sent out by The Associated
Press and other news distributing concerns tell
the story Of Frances regeneration-her come
back how, with so per cent. of her coal resour-
ces, 80 per cent. of her iron ore, 80 per cent. of
her iron and steel plants in the hands Of Ger
many, she handed over to her allies nearly a
quarter Of her own outpot in arms and munitions.
Germany efficiency is much harped about. It
is indeed a wonderful machine, but German ef-
fciency has yet to be tried out under the condi-
tions that exist in France at the present time
and have existed for more than two years.
Until German efficiency has been thus tried
out, until the Teutons have had to face what
France already has faced, we prefer to look to
France, rather than to Germany, for tn eexample
sought to be taught to the American people in
the way of efficiency and conservation Of econ
omic resources.

OUR MISTAKEN CHARITY.

The season is again with us when Sweet Char
ity" dons her glad rags and ambles forth on her
mission of so-called mercy.
Mission of curs-y" would be a more appro-
pirate term.
Nine-tenths of the charity of the age lin its
present form is a curse to the recipient rather
than a blessing.
Three classes of undiluted charity can be war
ranted to cure the most perfect case of self re-
spect and leave in its place the most abject case
of sycophancy that could be desired.
Seriously, our system of charity is
dead wrong. Any system of promiscuous giving
that does not require some equivalent in service
except in cases of physical or mental disability
is just so much toward the eternal destruction
of self respect and self reliance.
The Man of Gallilee said in effect to and of
the multitudes that followed him: 'Ye followed nae
for the loaves and fishes" Thousands of charity
made mendicants are today on the same quest.
Why is the hobo? Why Is the medicant? The
answer is simple. Self res. eet is dead. And in
thousands of cases misplaced charity has been
its slayer.
Effective charity should help the recipient to
help himself, and this should be accomplished in
such a manner that he may retain his self respect
in independence as man.
The relief associations Of our land should give
to the down-and-out not money, food or raiment,
but WORK whereby money, food and raiment may
be EARNED.
Every mendicant, made so by mistaken
charity, is a liability to society. Every unfortun-
ate placed on his feet and again set going by fur
nishing him the means by which his own efforts
may restore him, is an asset to society.
Any city or town with the proper foresight
can provide for it's down-and-outs work sufficient
for their maintenance. This should be done, and
absolutely nothing dispensed without some return
in service-except, as we have stated, in the case
Of the mentally and physically disabled.

LAUNCH CAMPAIGN AGAINST
LIQUOR ADS.

Toronto, Ont, Jan. 3-(By Union
Associated Press)-At a meeting to-
day Of the Methodist committee on
social service plans for the further
ance Of the campaign against liquor
advertisements in the newspapers
Were perfected. The reformers con-
tend that the nations needs demand
the highest efficiency of her soldiers,
her toilers and her citizens generally,
and that the press should not be al
lowed to open it's columns to anything
which Injuries the industry, homes and
every interest of the people. They
emphasize the fact that liquor adver-
tisements tend to make prohibition
ineffective.
