ROLLED ZINC PRODUCTION.
Many New Firms Went Into Business as
Result Of War.

For many years nearly all the sheet
zine made in the United States was pro.
duced by two Of the older. and larger
eompanies--the Mattiessen l. Hegeier
Zinc Co, Of La Sale, H.. and the Illinois
Zine Co., in the adjoining town OF Peru,
Ill Other companies, particularly the
manufacturers OF glass fruit jars having
zinc tops, have rolled zine for their own
use. and some that furnish sheet zinc to
photographers have also rolled their own
zinc. The great demand since the begin
ming Of the war for sheet zinc to line
packing cases made for shipment over
seas. especially cases containing MUM
tons or other material that ia likely to
be affected by salt air, has led still other
firms into the business of rolling zinc. In
addition TO the two companies mentioned
specifically above the following firms now
make rolled zinc, Ball Brothers Glass
Manufacturing CO., Muncie, Ind; Hazel
Atlas Glass Co, Wheeling, w. Va; New
Jersey Zinc Co., Palmerton, Pa; Amer
lean Zinc Products Co, Greencastle, Ind;
Fdes Manufacturing Co, Plymouth,
Mass; +, Phillip 4 Sons, South han
over, MnBS.i ana bhe Lihtt DA0eaSAS y
Co., Waterbury, Conn.
The United States geological survey
department of the interior, has for many
wears collected statistics showing the
production Of CINE, but while the output
Of rolled zinc was practically limited to
that of the two companies in Illinois
mentioned above the survey could not
publish statistics showing that output
without disclosing individual business
The increase in tho number of producers
however, has now made it possible to
give these figures. a canvass OF the in
dustry by G. f. Siebenthal Of the sur
vev. gives the statistics presented in the
following table. If the figures showing
the exports, as published by the bureau
/ of foreign and domestic commerce, are
subtracted from the figures showing the
exports, as published by the bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce, are sub
4 tracted from the figures showing the
production, the result will represent the
domestic consumption. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that the sheet
zinc used by the government in shipping
munitions overseas is not reported as ex'
ported.

the price began at $40 cents and rose to
80 cents on June 0, fell TO Is cents Aug,
%, and rose to 23 cents at the close OF
the year. In 1915 the price reached 25.5
cents on April % but dropped to Is cents
on July ii and ended the year at Fl
cents. In 1917 the base price of sheet
zinc remained nearly stationary, declin-
ing to 20 cents on April % and to 10
cents on April 26. On Feb. Is, 1918, the
base price Of zine sheest was fixed by
the government at Is cents and the price
of rolled zinc plates at Ia cents.
Both the production and the value by
classes of the product given the table

output in 1917, and the American Zinc
Productions Co, in 1918. Additions to
capacity amounting to nearly so per cent
are being made at four of the principal
mills to meet the increased demand for
zinc for war uses and that which viii re-
suit from the prevailing strong move
ment to find and establish new uses for
sheet zinc and to extend the present uses.
Every such extension, especially the sub
stitution of sheet zinc for sheet copper
and brass and for tin plate, will stimu-
late the zinc market and relieves to some
extent the shortage of copper and tin.
The war industries board has ordered the
use Of sheet zinc instead Of galvanized
iron or steel for refrigerator Innings, a
use that will require about 10000 tons
of rolled zinc. Sheet zinc can also be
substituted for galvanized iron in roofing
spouting, guttering, garages, household
utensils and hospital ware.
/ Rolled zinc has always been quoted at
so much per pound with discounts and

TUBERCULOSIS NOT CITY DISEASE
Speaker Refers to Crawford County, In
diana, Where 1000 Out of $4,000 Died.

Chicago, Dec ll.-Doubt that tuber-
culosis Is "city disease" was presented
TO the American Public Health associa-
ton convention here to-day by DR.. Bur
ton r. Rogers Of New York. He said
the secretary Of the Indiana state board
of health had written him that out of q
total population of $4,000 in Crawford
county, Indiana, 1000 had died of tuber-
culosis within ten years.
"Can such a record be even paralleled
in the worst lung block in the worst
city in America asked the speaker
Investigation in other states visited re-
veal even worse conditions"
DR.. Rogers explained that Crawford
county has 304O square miles and that
the $4,000 residents are scattered on
] ,S6l farms and in 81 towns and villages
the largest urban center containing less
than 200 inhabitants.
ut is doubtful il there is a three
story tenement in the county, and if ev.
ery house is not at least ten feet from
every other house and if every living
and sleeping room has not one or more
outside windows, These are certainly
not city conditions"

NATIONS FOOD
SUPPLY ISSHORT
No Bumper Corn Crop But Only
A Short One, Beef and Fats
Very Scarce and Only n Lit
tie Wheat in Sight.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Food ad-
ministrator Hoover urged immediate
action OH the bill to conserve food
stuirs and establish "wheStloss" and
"meatless" day ut an executive ses-
sion of tho House Committee OH Ar
riculturc.
lie informed the committee TINT
drastic action is required because Of
shortages in the nations food sup
ply available for tho six months from
Jan. to July /, 1918. He produced
figures showing marked decreases in
cereals, fnts, md meats, and showed
that congestion of freight cars hns
been largely rcpsonsiblc for much of
the western corn crop rotting in the
fields.
Instead of II bumper corn crop, rs
gcncrallp supposed, the available sup
ply is greatly cut down. Instead of
producing 3.500,000,00 bushels, only
about 2,000,0O0,0OO bushels were pro-
luccd. Mr.. Hoover estimated there
remains enough dry corn to supply
the allies and the American people,
approximately 1S7,O00,000 for this
country and 90,0O0r000 abroad. This
provides nothing for animals.
There are only i00,000,000 pounds
of beef when there should bo d60,-
900, 900 pounds, Mr.. Hoover declared,
and it was shown Tie Nation is short
from G00,000,000 to 1,000,000,00
pounds of such Fats as pork products
and vegetable oils, ABOUT 90 per cent
of what is required.
The available supply of wheat for
consumption before the new harvest
is only 70 per cent Of what is re-
qurcd. The minimum supply on
hand is estimated ut 257 900. 900 BUSH
els and the maximum 281 100000
bushels.
These figures show il s necessary
to take drastic steps. Mr.. Hoover
said, and he urged the imperative
ness Of the most careful conservation
by everybody. lie did not go into the
details of the administration Of the
law
The results of I'M investigation into
the transportation problem were laid
before the committee. Mr.. Hoover
said that he found that 700 cars of
Goodstuif. were on the tracks 100
days, GOO were on the tracks ninety
days and six hundred on the trucks
sixty days He indicated That the car
service would be improved in from
fifteen to twenty days, and special
efforts will he made to bring the corn
from Wcstern fields.
With the new conservation law in
force it is Mr.. lIoovor's plan to force
manufacturers to save their by-prod-
ucts so that everything required may

ANOTHER KINsFOLK PUZZLE.

Mr.. P. G. Baugh, well known citi
zen of the Grafton neighborhood;
seeing the "puzzle" about grand
children, etc., in this paper, happened
to think, and not wanting his neigh
borhood to lag behind in anything
commendable, hands the editor the
following.
"Jessie Bourne has two boys who
have 8 great grandfathers, 2 great
grand mothers, 2 grand fathers, 2
grandmotEers, all living at this time.
Ihos. M. Bourne, Esq. is Jesse
Bourne's grandfather and great un-
Gle. Mrs. T. M. Bourne is Jesse's
grandmother and great aunt" The
editor will have to get "uncle" Fc-
lix or "Uncle" Tom to straighten
him out on this general family mix
up. Is there another case like this
in the county?

MONEY FOR THRIFT STAMPS.

The Board of Supervisors at their
meeting Tuesday appropriated the
sum of $500 for financing the Thrift
Stamp Campaign through the schools
of the county. 1t is understood, of
course, that this money is only loan
and will be returned at the close of
the schools. The plan is for the
teachers in the schools to buy Thrift
Stamps and sell them to the pupils
of the schools and to any one eles
wishing them. The Town Council al
ready has taken similar action with
regard to the High School. The sum
OF $130 was put into the hands of
the teachers with which to purchase
stamps to sell to the members Of
their classes. And SO, the children
of the county will be enlisted in tina
service Of the great war, and at the
same time. taught valuable lessons in
thrift.

LITTLE GAIN BY
RUSSSURRENDER
Military Authorities Say That
Germany Will Gain Little
From Peace Terms Made
With Ukraine.

Washington, Feb. l2.-With the
opening of the great campaign OF
1918 on the western front apparently
within sight, military men here cX.
amined today with profound interest
the situation created by the signing
OF peace pact between the central
powers and the new Ukraine republic
and the decision of the Bolshcvilli
Russian government to stop fighting
and demoblizc the army.
Their conclusions were not discour-
aging. These events on their face
would appear to set free enormous
German forces for the impending
battle in the west and also to furnish
now sources of food supply for the
teutonic allies, but many factors that
detract from the advantages the CEN
trail powers maydcrivc.
One of the threats against the
Western front dwelt upon in public
discussions is the fact that prcsum-
ably 100000 prisoners of war held
i'll Russia would be released to
strengthen the German army.
The fact is said to be, however,
that the great majority of the soldiers
captured by the Russians are Aus
trians not available for Western front
operations by present Indications. The
most of the others are civilians or
camp followers of one kind or anoth-
er, and so far us known, only
small number of German troops were
captured on that front. Any men
from the prison camps are regarded
as of doubtful military value for
sometime as the Russians, unable to
feed their own soldiers, hardly have
improved the health of the captivcs.
There is doubt here also, MS to the
extent to which the agricultural re-
sources Of the Ukrain or of RUSSIA
can be brought to the aid of the Ger
man people in the near future. Fail
ure Of the Russian TRANSPORTATION
systems worked in Germany's inter
est in undermining the fighting now
or OF the Russian armies, the same
agency now, necessarily, is working
against the central powers in their
desire to get out food supplies.
Demobilizntion Of the Russian ar
my will not moan that the Austro-
Gcrman-Bulgarinn forces on the
frontires can be wholly withdrawn.
Fhccr will be II constant threat of
renewed hostilitics and the teutons
must see to it that ample force is
always ut hand.
The one clear thing in the whole
situation from II military point of
view is that the struggle has narrow
cd down to the Western front, of
which the Italian theatre already has
been officially recognized ns Il por-
ton by the allied chiefs.
The final test of arms is to come on
that front.
