The Mills Base Ball Team de-
feated a'fast team from Chateau
Hill last Sunday by a score of
10-5. They are "raring" to get
at the Roy team next and getting
ready to clean the whole base
ball ball platter this season.
This team has been made up
from home talent, picked out by
players who know the game and
trained for their places.
Another reason for their sue
cess at ball is that there are not
SO many young ladies there to be
entertained as there are ar Roy
We concede that our boys are too
bright lights in society to have
time to play ball.

part each has in the nations prosperity want to go down into the mines, and find out their place in Uncle Sams ac- count sheet. I want to take up the chief industries, and especially the new in dustres which the troubles in Europe have made so necessary to our industrial independence.
 X large part of my travels will re- late to the farms. We need these to supply our own wants and to aid in feeding our allies in Europe. The farms are Uncle Sans biggest asset They brought in almost 14,000 millions of dollars last year, which is more than $2,5O0, ,000, 900 above the receipts of any crop of the past. Nevertheless, the agricultural depart ment believes that these crops might be doubled and improved farming is being introduced into every part of the country. The south has been getting 20 cents a pound for it's cotton ana the west about $2 a bushel for wheat The farmers received more than Sl,- 900 900. 900 for each of those crops in 1915. They now have the capital to in- augurate better soil cultivation. Many of them are using motor cars to carry their grain to the markets and they are blowing the fields with gasoline tractors I want to describe the new discoveries in farming, and to give some idea of our crops and the live stock which so affect our meat and bread baskets and the high cost of 1Iy- ing.
 As it is now, we raise so much on our farms that one would think that bread and meat should be cheap In 1916 our grain crop amounted to more than 6,000,000.000 bushels. enough to give 50 bushels to every man, wom- an and child in the United States, or 300 bushels per family. Of this, almost S,oo0.00o000 bushels were Indian corn the best all-round food ration for the body of man. We raise almost all the corn produced by the world. Our crop

! in use. This means that we have that vast force going to waste. 1t Is as though we had so, ,000, 900 horses pent up in our stables from one years end to the other. The engineers estimate that the force is equal to the energy produced by 400, 900, ,000 tons of coal. It would be enough to operate all the factories, run all the street cars light all the houses and heat all the homes of the United States. This force represents a loss in coal and labor of more than S200, 900, GOO per annum, and this loss will continue until the. hydraulic engineers round up the walter power and breaK them to harness.
 But it is impossible to mention Ill
 the assets in the great balance sheet of Uncle Sam's wealth. I might speak of our forests. which. notwithstanding the waste of the past, are still enough Hto make a boardwalk 30 feet wide ana an inch thick from the earth to the sun: of our railroads, whose tracks are long enough to reach 10 times around the earth al the equator of our domes- tic commerce. which surpasses that of any other land upon earth, and of our foreign trade. which last year amount. cd to s5.500 000000 I might show how
 the money of, other nations has been
 rolling into the United States in great streams and how the hard gold coin and bullion now in. the treasury vaults
 here at Washington amount to 2,500,- 900, 900. I have written enough, how
 ever, to give you a glimpse at our
 wonderful wealth and to show that our
 resources and industries are well worth
 mobilization. Tn this letter have mem
 toned only some of the principal items, crowding a world. as 1t were, into a

ana our annual product from Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma alone is worth more than S200, ,000. 900. So far, we have Furnished 50 per cent of all the petro- leum that has ever been used by man Kind, and today our oil fields are turn ing out four times as much as those of Russia, with the war spurring tne latter to their fullest activity. I wans to describe the new things in oil pro- ductiona The fuel has become so valu- able that they are increasing the flow ana eliminating the waste. They are also spending large sums to save the natural gas which so often lies in q great bed over the oil. This gas sold for more than all we got from our gold mines and millions more were lost in the waste. Our output of petroleum is now so large that if 1t were divided evenly it would give 10 gallons a week the year round for every family under Uncle Sam's flag.
 The farms and the mines are only the ba sis for our great manufacturing indus tries. Here is another asset of Uncle Sans wealth, which is so great that the human mind cannot comprehend it. We are only at the beginning of our national existence, but we have become the work shop of the world. We have more than 900 millions of dollars invested in fac tories, and our product is worth more than s25, 900 GOO, 600 a year. We have about twice as many men as there are in our standing army engaged in making iron and steel of one kind or other, and the additional men in the foundries and machine shops are more than 333,00o We have about 5oo000 hands engaged in the lumber industry and more than 3S0000 employed in the cotton mills Altogether we have more than 100000 men and women who are earning their living by the work of their hands, and their wages are greater now than ever before.
 Our manufacturing product steadily in-

 1 As to our mineral resources, they alone would make us the richest or the nations, We have coal in 80 different
 states. and if our fields could be brought together, they would make | one great bed seven times as large as | the coal fields of all Europe, and more | than 35 times the area of those Of l Great Britain. West Virginia alone | has more coal than Great Britain, and l Professor Tindall has said that the seat of that country's greatness lies
 in her coal mines As 1t is now, we are supplying 40 per cent of the world 8 coal, and at the present rate of con . sumption we have enough left in the earth to keep us going for 1000 years. We took out enough last year to equal 22 tons for every family in the coun
 try, and the black diamonds were worth at the mines more than s700,- 0Oo,000. There is one little patch of an thracite in Pennsylvania whose yearly output is worth more than one-thfid of all the gold that is annually mined

 l want to investigate the new chemi- cal factories which have recently been established in different parts of the United States, and to show how they will make us independent as to paints, dyes and drugs. Germany has invested vast quantities in the making of dye stuffs, and she has almost $20o, ,00O,O00 de- voted to the production of potash. The United States ought to be industrially in- dependent and we shall manufacture 8 great proportion of such things in the near future. We shall get our colors from our own coal supply, and shall eventual ly grind our potash out of our rocks. We hope to become independent even of Chile. and Congress has lately appropri- ated $20,0000O0 to squeeze our nitrate out of our own circumambient air.

London, April 1.--(Corespondence of the Asociated Press )-The annual loss to the British army through petty thievery and piifering of stores and supplies has been estimated at $25 GOO, 00o Some account of the manner in which this huge sum dis appears is given by the auditor general Of army accounts.
 The supervision of the auditor general does not extend to cases in which waste has occurred through carrying out some approvd policy. He is concerned only to point to the leakages which occur in mat ters carried out contrary to. or without. proper sanction. He is therefore touch- ing only the fringe of war office waste, hut the cases he cites cover wide field

It's All Over! Wilson Wins by
% Votes, Official Score.

Washington, D. G., Feb. IA
Congress completed today the
constitutional formalities carrying
into effect the will of the voters

At a Joint session of the Senate
and House the sealed vote was
canvassed by States, with the
usual quadrennial ceremony, and
the result of the balloting of the
Electoral College, once the decid-
ing factor in presidential contests,
but in recent years only a per-
functory means of ratifying the
popular voice, was entered for
mally on the official records. The
count showed 277 votes for the
Democratic nominee and 254 for
Hughes and Fairbanks.
The proceeding reflected only
in mild degree the partisan en-
thusiasm of the doubtful days
following election day in Novem-
Der. Announcement of Cali
fornia's l3 votes for Wilson
brought an outburst of approval
from the Democrats, and there
was applause on the Republican
side when Connecticut returned
the first votes for Hughes. Less
cr demonstrations greeted the re-
turns from other states, and the
session broke up amid loud
Democratic response to the an
nouncement of the final result.
Senator Kern of Indiana and
Representative Rucker of Mis-
souri, (Dcm. !, and Senator Clapp
of Minnesota and Representative
Mapcs of Michigan (Reps.), were
the tellcrs. Mrs. Wilson, wife OF
the President, watched the ccrc-
mony from the executive gallery,
and Secretaries McAdoo, Baker
and Daniels, and Postmaster Cen
cral Burleson were in the Cabinet
box.
