especially zinc and lead, which are
so much in demand at the present
time in making munitions OF war.
While it has been known that valu
able deposits of those minerals have
existed in the northeastern part of
the state, close to the oplin district
in southwestern Missouri, it has
only been since the war began, ere
ating an enormous demand for them
at steadily advancing prices, that
they have been developed upon
scale commensurate with their value,
The Miami district is the most i'm
portant and here are to be found
some of the largest producers of
lead and zinc in the country. De
velopment work is rapidly progress
ing and new companies are being
formed continually to increase the
production.
1t is learned that total sales of
zinc produced in the Miami field
during January, despite the excep-
tionally unfavorable conditions
caused by inclement weather, ag
gregated no less than 3l,689,720
pounds, valued at $949, 1854. During
the same month 9,298,l8 pounds of
lead were sold, for which $376,292
was paid. These figures, while graf
ifyingIy large, will be increased ma
terially from month to month ,ac-
cording to present indications, due
both to improved conditions as
warm weather approaches and the
new companies which are commenc-
ing production.

Oklahoma is celebrated quite as
much for its mineral resources as it
is for its oil production When
the state was admitted into the
Union ten years ago its chief claim
to prominence was its agricultural
importance and then oil came to the

shown that this commonwealth is

There is a pretty Romance of two

Its ensuing effects upon the for
tunes of those in the little village.
The battle scenes shown are actual
scenes taken right in the trenches
during the death struggles Of the
French and the Germans; only oc-
casionally has 1t been found neces-
sary to piece the story of the bat
ties together by means of acted
scenes. Thus one sees the life in
the trenches; the charges of the
French soldiers; the thrilling hand
to hand conflicts and the thrust of
bayonets: the murder of the shells;
the great guns in action; the tanks;
the attack by liquid fire; the Ger
man pill boxes; the flight of the vii
layers; the ruthless destruction OF
property; the treatment of girls
who fall In to the hands of the Ger

fallen down in every important par

suit is chiefly due to mistakes in

the evil results that flow from the
tendency of this administration to
place premium on inexperience.
Briefly summed up, the committee
