GREAT FUTURE FOR MINING.

One thing among many others that the war has done is to give the east a better understaEd ding as to the needs and value of the mines of the west.
 When the war came on, and with it a tremendous demand for metals, the mines at once as- sumed an importance they had never before held. To enable the nation to win the war, the mines had to produce a liberal output under most adverse con- ditions; and this they accom- pliShed to an extent beyond criti- cism.
 Many old mines and numerous prospects are held idle at pre- sent time, the owners only await ing advent of more propitious times to start development op- erations. Present governing facts can only mean that when better national conditions ma terialize there will be a record revival in mining, more substan- tial than a boom, and of con- tinued dura tion, says Mining and Financial Record.
 All the mining industry needs is encouragement in the way of fair legislation and taxation and if prices must be regulated let them be high enough to assure good returns to the men risking their capital in development and good wages to the workmen.
 In statement to senate mines committee on ore control bill, c. F. Kelly of the Anaconda company said the bill would es- ta ablish control over entire min- eral industry of country.
 Such measures are not neces- sary under present government regulation and would discourage rather than encourage produc- tiou, fatal mistake at this time.

Mining Shares Under New Law.

A Phoenix dispatch states that the Arizona Corporation Con-
 mission. by resolution, has de- cided that no further permits for the issuing of stock, certiti- cates or bonds will be granted by that commission unless the company secures the approval of the capital issues committee, the creation of which was au- thorized by recent act of the U. $. congress. This committee. as announced by the govern ment will examine all requests for permission to issue stock, certificates or bonds and that none will be permitted unless such issues are beneficial to the government during the war.

HE SUBSCRIBED.

In an eastern farming con- munity wealthy German farm CT refused to buy Liberty Bonds said he did not consider it a good investment and he did not want to supply money with which to buy ammunition that might kill his relatives. Inves- tigation found that this man had landed in the states with S8O.OO and that he had fled from Prus- sia to avoid the military draft. He acquired a section of fine land and had bank deposit of S2O, ,OCO. The sheriff of the coun ty was made a committee of one to visit the farmer, to hand him the sum of S8O.OO and to tell him that his place was not in that community-tha the kaiser needed him and that he should go across the sea. The point was appreciated. The farmer subscri bed at once to a $5 ,OOO bond.

NO WHEAT UNTIL SEPTEMBER.

Many church organiza tions throughout the United States have adopted the no wheat diet until Septem Der l and fraternal orders are likewise signing the following resolutions:
 Whereas, There is an insuffi products within this country to satisfy all demands; and
 Whereas, There is large per centage of cur inhabitants lead ing sendentary lives, and who could, by foregoing their quota, substantially increase the sup ply to the allies, our soldiers and manual laborers, who have first cali on such wheat and wheat products; and
 Whereas, Arizona is contribut- ing directly to France 5000, ,OOO pounds of flour, which would formerly have been consumed by our own people; which flour is being manufactured from Ari- zona wheat marketed by Arizona farmers under the call issued by the food administrator for Arizona;
 Now, Therefore, Be it Resolv- ed, That the members of this body who are not engaged in heavy manual labor shall refrain from eating any wheat o1 wheat products until September 1 next; and
 Be it Further Resolved, That this sacrifice is made freely and voluntarily and with an earnest appreciation of the difficulties the leaders of our nation en- counter in arranging an equit- able distribution of our flour and other wheat products, which dis tribution takes into considera- tion the extraordinary physical requirements of certain classes of workers.

w. S. S. GOOD INVESTMENT.

In asking the people to invest in War Savings and Thrift Stamps, the government is not asking them to contribute money.
 It is merely asking for the use of the money and is willing to pay literally for it.
 The government simply wishes to employ your money and pay you for it's service, just as it would employ you and pay you for your services.
 You will get your money back with interest-compound interest at the rate of 4 per cent per an mum. The stamps mature in five years but you can cash them at any time you wish before the date of maturity and get interest at 3 per cent.
 If you need the service of your money before five years, the Savings Stamps handed to the postmaster will be the letter of resignation and you will get your money back, with addition al payment for the time you per- mitted the government to use it.
 There is no red tape, no both CT, no uncertainty, no work. It is the simplest, safest and most satisfactory investment you can make

THE RATE ADVANCE.

Recommendation that all rail road rates be increased at least 25 per cent is belated recogni- tiOn of necessity which has existed for several years.
 Under Government operation it is proposed to do at one stroke that which the Interstate Com merce Commission had persiS- tently refused to permit under private operation. Acting ac- cording to the plain facts of the situation instead of being sway ed by prejudice, Director Gen eral McAdoo is not likely to delay long his acceptance of the advice given by the men to whom all Government author ities were formerly deaf.
 Though much has been said about the inetficiency of railroad management. it has been sur passed by the inefficiency of Government regulation of the railroads. If regulation had been efficient, it would have recogniz- ed tbat poor service is dear at any price, that revenue adequate to maintain, improve and extend the lines is essential to good service, and that any attempt to punish owners of railroads by denying them such revenue falls ultimately on the shippers and through them on the people in general.
 The men who made and ad- ministered railroad laws were prevented by the clamor of de- magogues and railroad baiters from following the guidance of their own judgment. Because one railroad had been miS man. aged, they punished also the ninety nine which had been we'll managed, and their patrons with them. Because traffic had been pooled to the injury of the pub lie, they refused to permit pool ing so directed by public regula ton that it would have inured to the public good.-Portland Ore gonian.
 In s.wattiug the railroads in this manner we failed to realize we were swatting not only our selves but the whole nation.
 We are now face to face with the same condition in our public utilities-street railway, water, light, gas and telephone. The hypocrite crys, grant no in crease in rates" etc.
 Will we refuse to see the mer it's of the case until these public utilities break down and find our whole industrial system crip- pied as were the railroads, by this almost criminal negligence on the part of our regulating bodies.
 Surely one lesson we'll learned is enough, let us profit by it. Exchange.

Two Brave Brothers Bnried In
French Soil.

A letter from Colonel Reckord to Adju-
tant General Warfeld announcing the death
in battle. on October 9th, of Captain John
Douglass Wade, of Montgomery county
reads:
$50 far the only officer have had killed
is Captain Wade. You. no doubt, knew him
well. he came from the Old Fifth Maryland
and his work has been so consistently good
that promoted him to command the m
Company when Captain Knight was made
major Wade was killed leading his COM
pany through heavy wood. when he was
hit in the head by bullet. either from a
machine gun or sniper. He was killed in
stantly. In his death have lost one Of
my best officers"
Captain Wade is the son Of VIM. IL
Wade and his wife, who was Ellie Chopper
she being the granddaughter Of the late
Francis Cassatt Chopper and Philip Scott
Key. Three sons Of this family enlisted in
this war, and the oldest and the youngest
lay dead in France. The little fellow
Willie-William Chopper Wade had been
in Michigan, and when the Mexican trouble
threatened he joined the Michigan National
Guard. and was on the Texas border for
many months, and, his regiment returning,
was never mustered out" but was sent
to Waco. Texas-Fort McArther. He went
across in January. and in the Chateau
Theirry drive he was killed near scissors
on July 3lst. From sergeant, returned
to Port Huron, we learn that "he had no
business going out" on the particular drive
in which he met his death. because he
had previously been Out" and had just
returned to his line-his shoes were filled
with blood-yet he wouldn't be kept back. -
The party was out for eight days. and
when their provisions were exhausted they
lived only on what they took from captured
Germans. When hit by bullet he was
killed instantly.
The sergeant relating this had seen his
grave surmounted by a cross with his name
on it-somewhere within mile Of Quentin
ROosevelts Grave.

U. 8. Crops BOuntifnI.

October weather conditions resulted in
an increase of 30,000.000 bushels in the
country's crop of corn. The Department
Of Agriculture's November report places
the prelimigary estimate Of production at
2.749. 10000 bushels. While the crop is
smaller In size than last years, it's food
value is materially greater because the
quality this year is more than 10 points
higher. With wheat crop of about 9l9.-
100000 bushels, which is some 100, 00O,-
900 bushels more than the average of the
last five years. and large crops of rye,
buckwheat rice, beans. potatoes, onions
cabbage. the countrys food crops this year
have been bountiful.
The crop Of tobacco is a record one by
70.000.000 pounds, being 1896, $50. 900
pounds this year.
In summary Of the responsibility the
Bureau of Crop Estimates says:
THE almost ideal weather of October in
the main agricultural areas OF the country
has resulted in an increase in the indi-
Gated corn crop by about 100000
bushels with a quality of $3.50 compared
with 1872 last year and 1913 average. The
results in Southwest and the Far West are
not up to expectations. While the absolute
number of bushels is only 81 per cent. OF
that OF last year. the food value, because
OF the higher quality, is a much larger
proportion. The absolute production is
only fraction Of per cent. below the
| five-year average. The stock of last year &
corn remaining on farms Is more than
three times the amount of old corn on hand
year ago and in excess Of the usual.
"Buckwheat was damaged by early frost
lowering the good early prospects of yield
by about 8 per cent. but leaving this crop
still 5 per cent. in excess Of last year and
20 per cent. above the average.
Potato yields now reported confirm the
earlier estimates. The summer droughts
resulted in small size and reduced yields
in the main producing areas. The crop
now estimated is II per cent. below the
enormous crop of last year. but 8 per cent
above the five-year average, being in size
the fourth crop of record.
Sweet potato production exceeds by a
slight margin even last years big crop
and is about 40 per cent. above the FIVE
year average.
Tobacco, with a large acreage, has a
yield per acre materially above the aver
age and total production Of 100000
pounds above last year. which furnished
the largest previous crop Of record.
THE rice crop is about IS per cent.
greater than last year. almost 20 per cent
more beans: onions. 9 per cent. more
cabbage. 10 per cent more. and the com =
mercial crop Of apples II per cent. more.
Sugar beats are almost 10 per cent. more
and cane for sugar about rs per cent more.
Sorgham syrup, relatively insignificant is
10 per cent. less. Kafr corn is 20 per
cent. less. peanuts per cent. less"

Washington Electric Railway Wins
Suit,

In the suit of the Washington Electric
Railway Company, plaintiff, versus Lee
Hutchins. defendant, Judge Peter, Of the
Circuit Court for this county, has filed an
opinion.
The plaintiff is corporation owning and
operating an electrically equipped railroad
extending from Washington City to Cabin
John creek in Montgomery county, Md.
This railroad runs for a distance of about
one thousand yards through a tract Of
land, situated in Montgomery county, con-
tanning about 70 acres, which was acquired
by Stilson Hutchins in 1885, and by him
conveyed to his son, Lee Hutchins, by deed
of gift dated the End day of February.
1908. In September, 1915, the defendant
brought two actions of ejectment on the
law side Of this court to recover possession
of the land occupied by the plaintiffs rail-
road, lying within the boundaries Of the
aforementioned deed The bill was filed
herein by the plaintiff to enjoin the prose-
cution of those actions at law and to COM
poi a conveyance ny tlC uCiCHudhb " NnC
plaintiff Of the land in controversy.
In the opinion the Court says:
when the land was given by Stilson
Hutchins to Lee Hutchins the railroad oc-
cupied the same land it now occupies. and
no complaint was made by anyone prior
to September, 1915. when Lee Hutchins
brought his ejectment suits. Death then
had sealed the lips Of Stilson Hutchins and
those of Jacob P. Clark. who. as President
Of the road, was charged with obtaining
the rights of way. The testimony detailed
herein is not denied The facts require
no comment. They speak for themselves
and they can lead to but one conclusion.
and that is. that Stilson Hutchins con-
veyed to the Washington company that
portion of his land now occupied by the
plaintiffs railroad, and so find. A diff
ferent conclusion could not be reached
without finding that Stilson Hutchins, the
defendants father. had been guilty of fraud
for gain.
"A decree will be passed requiring the
defendant from further prosecuting his
ejectment suits and providing for con-
veyance to the plaintiff. for its chartered
purposes. Of the defendants title and in
terest in all of the land in controversy.
