porarly fom his service as president or an American bank. which now carries over SS00,0y1000 of resources for the pur- pose of perfecting plan for the wloe ols- tribution of the savings certificates IS reported by his friends in this city 10 pe- heve that the entire amount will De speedily absorbed by the plain people Of the United States. If the plain people can within a year deposit fin the postoftices occasionally cents, or dimes, or dollars so as speedily to lend to the government 2,000, ,0C0 0J0, then that success can safely be assumed to represent one Of the great resources Of the American people.
 The floating of this kind of government obligation which has only five years to run is only another aspect of the wonder ful work of cooperation and coordination which has been carried on since the war with Germany was declared in April of this year
 It is the expectation that before the first year since our entrance into the war Is end. the government itself will have demonstrated the capacity of the Amer fcan people swiftly to perfect a nation wide system of cooperation and co-ordi- nation whereby all of the resources of the United States, whether industrial, min eral agricultural or financial, may have been so mobilized as to suggest in kind at least the remarkable mobilization which some of the greater industries of the United States have perfected, con- spicuous example of which is furnished by the organization and operation of the United States Steel corporation.
 For 1t Is a fact that the government al Washington is to perfect within few months great organza ton to which industry of all kinds bears somewhat similar relation to that which the subsidiary companies of our larger manufacturing industries bear to the overseeing company. Of course, the les- son that will be thus taught will be so
 well learned that after tho war is ended we are likely to see a great even of the public to what is called big business and to the railroads.
 In civil war days when many in the north were beginning to despair of the success of the federal armies, David A. Wells published a book as remarkable in it's way as was the report of Alex ander Hamilton year or two after our government began, wherein was indi- cated what the immediate resources as well as what the future resources of the United States were and would be.
 MT. Wells declaration of the magni- tude of the resources of the north, un- dreamt of by many of the people until his book appeared, had immediate ef- feet upon the credit of the United States both here and in Europe. It resulted in finding a fine market for government bonds in Holland and afterwards in Great Britain. It showed that although the cost of maintaining the armies might be as much as s1,0OO, 100000 year yet these armies could be maintained for 10 years at least without seriously impairing the resources of the north. As result of MT. Wells work success full attempts were made to cooperate and coordinate our industries, resulting in a good mobilization of the resources There followed such brilliant govern- ment financing as provided the people

New York. December 5.-(Special.)-The cents, dimes and dollars which the people are expected to invest in stamps which in the aggregate will provide the govern nent with s2,ooooOo,oOO are spoken of as likely to furnish one of the best evil dences of the abundant resources of the American people at this time. The gov ernment will issue, when the full amount Of stamps is bought and affixed, certifi- cato the aggregate of which to be held by one person is to be not more than s10oo Presumably this comparatively small amount was fixed upon so that sub scriptions to this savings loan fund might not be greatly absorbed by the wealthy, but chiefly by the people who carry in their pockets a few cents or dollar or two, and are persuaded to invest it in sav- ings loan stamps.

New York Postoffice Is
 Forced to Employ Extra
 Help in Buying Rush

New York, December 1.-The rush to buy war savings stamps has been so great throughout this city as to necessi- tate the employment of extra clerks at the various postoffices and branch postal stations. Frederick w. Allen, the war savings director for the city, said that it probably would be necessary to send to Washington for new supply on ac- count of the inroads made on the $5, ,O00- OO0 worth placed on sale yesterday.
 Although up to now the stamps have been on sale only at postal stations, banks and trust companies, Mir. Allen is arranging with the treasury department to permit their purchase at hotels, stores and business houses. Plans have been made for at least 10000 stamp dstribut- ing stations.

 PRESENT-DAY RESOURCES
 The resources of the present day which the United States possesses are unmatched by those of any other na- ton and are presumably fully equal to the combined resources of all our all lies. All that is necessary thoroughly wei to utilize them is such mobiliza- tion as cooperation and coordination represent. The government itself has become "big business in the literal bigger business before the war is ended.
 There are only a few of the articles which enter into manufacturing for which we are absolutely dependent upon otEer nations. Tin is one of those ar ticles and the government is about to as- sume control of the imports of tin and tho distribution of it in the markets Of all other minerals we have plenty Agriculture is to be brought into CO., operation, so also are the great indus trial plants. The people who have bought liberty bonds and who are to be asked to buy more and the plain people who are to contribute of their small savings so that at last the govern ment will have an aggregate of s2,000.- 00o,000 from this source, are also cooper ating under the brilliant leadership of the Secretary of the Treasury, William G. McAdoo.
 When all our resources both of men and of material are thoroughly mobilized the stupendous power of the United States as a factor in bringing the war to victorious conclusion will be dem onstrated not only to our own people but to those who are now our adver- saries and who have been disposed to look with contempt upon the United States as sordid and avaricious peo- pie mindful only of accommodating riches
 By June l. 1918, the United States will be recognized as the worlds greatest exponent of the principles which are the basis upon which our great industries have been built.

on his way home from a basketball
game one night recently, that his

make it hot for the individual who ev-
identity had tried to make it cold for
him, and about that time he spied two
men, one Of them wearing the Whit

the outside, hurrying along under an

the neck of the volcanic eruption was plainly in evil
dence where this was thrown out from the bed at

The extraction of such ores can be handled very
economically by the solution process. Mining, mill

A flow of water would be encountered at no
greater depth than 10 feet, that would answer for
all milling and extraction purposes.
Oil would be the most economical fuel to use
according to the close proximity to the North Texas

sary can be purchased at the railway station for a
reasonable price.
