COAL AND OIL
Output Of Former Rapidly Becoming Of
Great Importance.

Coal mining in this county has now
reached the point where the output Is
/ tar IN excess of any other peroid in the
history of coal mining in this section.
HALEY MOUNTAIN MINES.
, The Haley Mountain Coal Company,
at Renfro. is now loading 100 tons a
day of fine grade Sewannee coal. The
possibilities of the mines are con-
stantly beng enlarged as the work
advances and room is being provided
for more miners.
At Ozone there are about 80 men at
work and the output OF coal Is very
gratifying. 1t is shipped to the Nash
vile market.
WALDENSIA MINES.
The Chicago L Tennssee Coal and Coke
Company, at Waldensia. has the largest
output of any of the mines in the
county. They have washer in full
blast and some 60 coke ovens under
charge constantly. The output is 200
tons day and as another bank of ovens
are now largely completed the company
expects to double its output just as
rapidly as room in the mines will per-
nit.
The entire output Is conv erted into
coke.
AT ISOLINE.
At Isoline the mnies formerly known
as the Clear Creek Coal and Lumber
Company are being operated by the
purchaser of the property, b. II.
SprankIe, Knoxville. Considerable
coal for the market is furnished from
there.
UNIONIZING MINES.
Recently the miners union organized
the minere of ell the companies in the
east part of the county and every ything
is moving along orderly and with satis-
factory output. The miners are mani
Testing a reasonable attitude and the
are IN no way antagonlzing
the union. The outlook tor continued
pleasant relations between the COM
panies and the union is very flattering.

MILLION INSURED
Soldier and Sailor Insurance Has Reached
Huge Sum Of Eight Billion.

At the close of Wednesday, Feburar!
13.iover 1000. 600 soldiers and sailor
and Army and Navy nurses had applied
for Government insurance under tn,
soldiers and sailors insurance law.
The amount of insurance applied fo
Is more than So, 600, 600, 900. The max
imum permitted to any person is $40
900. and the aveage applied for is So
212. There are many applications
mailed from distant points which have
not yet reached the treasury depart
mont. The above figures are only Of
applications that have been actually
received and granted.
The amount of Government insurance
in force is more than three times as
much as the total ordinary lifeinsur-
ancs in force with any life insuance
company in the world.
The splendid result which gives to
more than a million of the soldiers and
sailors of our country the benefits Of
this insurance, which Secretary Nc
Adoo has just described as the most
just and humane provision ever made
by any government for its fighting
men, is due to the quick appreciation
by the beneficiaries of the value of the
insuance and the invaluable aid patri-
oically given to the War Risk Insur.

the Army and Navy, and many Of the
individual soldiers and sailors. to
which must be added the earnest and
efficient work Of officers and agents
Of the insurance companies. fraternal
beneficiary associations. and many pat

The campaign. which has fo- its
purpose the insurance Of each and every
person entitled to insurance under the
law, will be continued. The time
within which the Insurance may be ap-
plied for has been extended by gen.
sral resolutio of Congress. appoved by
the President, until April IL. 1918. The
automatic insurance, however, which
automatically gave insuance to all en-
titled to receive it until February IL,
altho no application was made. has
expired. Hereafter only those whc
have applied tor and received policies
will receive insurance.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Helps PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2OOOOO,OO0 year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger eX-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.
