GA New Year Son, by Frank F.
Stanton.)
The New Year said: Stay with Lies
wonderful day!
Not long is the Winter and sweet is the
May;
And Loves in the lilies, though thick
the thorns throng,
And sweet is the sorrow with solace of
Life's calling to Life in dream that
is bliss;
There are hands for the clasping and
lips for the kiss;
Fare not to the Valley while still the
world thrills
To the joy of the hills!
There were griefs Of the wayside and
shadows of woe,
But God hides Lies graves with the
gift of the snow,
And still did sweet Love in the dark
ness abide
And the roses will bloom where the
roses have died.
The cup of the sweet and the bitter to
drain,
And tears for the years, with their
passion and pain;
But up from the falley of Shadows!
Life thrills
To the joy of the hills!
III.
ITO the Joy of the hills, where the
lights on the heights
Shine clear through the shadows of
desolate nights.
And you hear the Stars singing! Where
light is supreme
As in that first Morning when God read
its dream!
SO sweet is the world, as it swings in
Gods sight,
That Life is forever the brother of
Light.
There are Stars in the shadows > We
rise where Life thrills
To the joy Of the hills!

HOLLAND MAY PASS
BELOW WATERLEvEl
BECAUSE Of SINKS

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Jan. L.
II may not materially affect the pres
ent generation or the next, but If the
land level of Holland continues to sink,
there is danger of the subsistence be-
coming so great that. despite all the
progress of engineering science, it
will be impossible to much longer
continue the present ceaseless struggle
with the waters. That is the view ex-
pressed before the Geological Mining
Society for Holland and its Colonies,
by Professor Molengraaf, of the Poly
technic University of Delft, who is the
foremost Dutch geological authority.
A large part of the Netherlands, par
ticularly the western and northwestern
provinces, lies some feet below the
level of the sea, which is only kept
from overlooking hundreds of square
miles of land by the natural barrier
Of the long line of sand dunes that
fringe the coast, reinforced at two or
three points by artificial means. The
level of rivers and many of the canals
in such regions are likewise higher
than the surrounding country, being
held in check by the bikes and en-
bankments that are maintained at
great pains and correspondingly high
cost by the nation. Naturally, there
fore, the question of the continued, If
very gradual fall of the land level
bears an important aspect in the eyes
of the Dutch people. and it has recent
ly been the subject of discussion
among expert biologists and hydro
graphical engineers.
Population May Move TO High Land.
"If," declares Prof. Molengraaff,
"the subsistence is of such a nature
that within measurable time position
of equilibrium comes about, then the
cost of keeping the land drained will
become so high that there will no
longer be much advantage attached to
its possession, albeit there are always
historical and sentimental arguments
for that. If, however, the total expen-
diture should exceed the total income,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-01-01

then the common sense of the Dutch
people would lead them TO withdraw
tc higher regions"
Opinions differ on the question of
whether the ground is still sinking,
and what influences are responsible
for such a phenomenon. Some ex-
perts, like the civil engineer, D. H. S.
Blaupot Ben Cate, suppose that the fall
is a consequence of what happened in
the middle tertiary period. His theory
is that Holland is built up on an al
luvial mud flats, which still participate
in various movements of the soil. Some
authorities believe that a material
subsistence is still taking place, while
others, again. are of opinion that the
phenomena observed are conse-
quence of certain movements of the
sea level, whereby various influences
of another nature play role; mat the
sea level alters, but that the land it.
self does not sink.
Another civil engineer, ]. c. Ram
aer, is convinced from the results Of
water guage observations that there
has been subsistence of the land of
Holland, as well as of that of border
ing countries and the greater part Of
the British Isles. He says it may be
deducted from the entire list of such
observations that there has been an
average subsistence of 80 centimeters
per century, declining father inland
to is centimeters. That very consid-
erabie subsistence is taking place at
the present time in the polders or
drained basins of the Netherlands in
his opinion is undeniable.

MINES OF WESTERN
STATES FURNISH A
DIVIDEND To FOLKS

Ten mines in Arizona paid $34 ,000,-
900 in dividends during the past year.
Adding Utah, Montana, Nevada and
Idaho dividends to those of Arizona,
we have total of over 100000, 900 in
dividends paid out of the mines of
these five western states in a single
year.
These are some of the impressive
facts brought out by the report OF the
Geological survey to Secretary Lane.
just made. Never before" said Mr..
Lane, has so large draft been made
on the natural resources of our coun-
try as during this year. and never be-
fore have the metals been extracted
from these ores with less waste or
utilized to better advantage in advanc-
ing the general prosperity of the coun-
try. Even as written in the plain fig
sures of 1916 production the wonderful
record of our mines sets forth a degree
of national industrial independence on
ly hoped for few years ago.
Again copper stands out as the best
illustration Of how American mines
can meet world demand. The output
of nearly 2 billion pounds Of the red
metal is double that of ten years ago
and its value is twice that of the cop
ger produced in 1915. Add to this the
facts that in value copper now con-
tends with iron for first place among
the metals, and that together the
amount of these two metals produced
last year had value of more than one
Lillion dollars, and we have a meas
ure of what this country can contrib
ute in useful metals.

YOUR NEXT WILD DUCK
WILL HAVE BRACELETS

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. If you kill
a wild duck on your next hunting trip
and find bracelets around its legs, don't
imagine that you're drunk and seeing
things, or that the duck has tried to
doll itself up like chicken on the
front row in the chorus.
The bracelets are aluminium bands,
which have been placed around the
legs of large number of wild ducks
by United States authorities to aid in
biological research.
Jus. take Off the band and send ii
to the Bureau of Biological Survey at
Washington, together with information
as to the date, place and circumstances
under witch you killed the duck, and
thereby you will be aiding the govern
ment to find out more concerning the
longevity of the species and their gen.
eral migratory habits.

1877 IS DANGER
YEAR FOR SOUTH
Than Twenty Cents a Pound,
Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga SpeciaD-That 1917
is danger year" for the south, and
that there IL dynamite. in the pres
emit cotton situation for the cotton
growing farmer are the warning
words used by II. g. Hastings, presi-
dent of he Southeastern Fair Asso-
citation and the Georgia Chamber Of
Commerce, in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.
Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at
planting time in spring" he says, lis
the bait that will lure hundreds Of
thousands of farmers In the south to
each put in a few extra acres, and
should nature smile on the crop as in
1914, we will come nearer a twenty
million bale crop than 20 cents per
pound, for evidence multiplies daily
that they are planting right up to
the graveyard as it is sometimes ex-
pressed.
"On the Hastings farm we don't ex-
pect to put in an acre more of cotton
than we did last year, because we
think it time above ali others to
play safe What we will increase to
the limit of our ability will be food,
grain and forage, beef cattle and
hogs.
"The safe way is to first supply all
needs Of family and stock from ones
own acres, and then put surplus acre
age in cotton. With bread and meat
, in hand, and a garden producing
steadily through spring, summer and
fall; with home canned vegetables and
fruits on closet shelves for winter Ia
bic use; with corn in the crib and hay
and fodder in the barn or stack, the
farmer can be largely independent of
cotton prices in the fall. The farmer
so provided for is never distressed
He can sit on his cotton bales with
mind at ease, and sell in his own good
time when prices are right.
with labor comparatively scarce
and fertilizer high, any material in
crease in cotton acreage must nee
essarily be at the expense of food and
| grain acres that are in reality far
more responsible for the south's pres
ent prosperity than is IS to 20 cent
/ cotton.
Memories are short, but wise far
mers need only 20 look back to 1914
and see the disaster due to too much
cotton that can't be eaten, and the
lack of food that one must eat. re
peat this year of 1917, is danger
year. Any farmer who increases cot
ton acreage and cuts food crop acres
is gambling with the cards STACKED
against him."

States ore being $50 million dollars.
Lead also shows a large increase, the
7e million dollar output being q gain
of more than SO per cent.
With all this activity in metal pro-
duction, the coal mines have had to
meet heavy demand, so that the BIT
luminous coal output has now passed
the half billion ton mark. an increase
of IL liz per cent. over the previous
year Coke production increased 80
per cent, and 1t is gratifying to note
that by-product coke made the largest
gain, which means corresponding
gain in benzol and other valuable by
products.
Again the oil wells have given a
new record for petroleum yield, the
estimate of marketed production of
crude petroleum for 1916 being 292
million barrels, or IL. million barrels
more than in 1915.
Another mineral product which fur
rishes an index of business conditions
is cement the 1916 production of which
is estimated to be million barrels in
excess of the output of the previous
year, while the shipments were even
greater, aggregating 94,500,000 barrels,
with the outlook reported as good for
the new year.
Arizona Leads States in Gain Shown.
1.-The reports received from the sur
vey's western offices contain most
significant mining records. Every wes-
tern state shows large increase in
yield of metals, Arizona leading with a
gain of 100 million dollars over last
year, while Utah and Montana together
report another 100 million dollar gain.
Alaska also had it's best year, con-
tributing total value of more than
$50.0OO,000 this year, or over so per
cent. in excess of any previous year.
These advance statements not only
show that 1916 marks new advance
for the mineral industry of the coun-
try, but this remarkable increase
promises to be approximately rs per
cent over the 1915 production, so that
we may expect the final figures to show
a total of three billion dollars"
