prefer.
Every day the timber from eight
acres of the heavily wooded hills will
be converted by battery of sixteen
retorts into wood alcohol, acetate of
lime and charcoal, the latter being
fuel for the blast furnace. Charcoal
iron is superior to coke iron, and sells
for about 81 ton more, but compare
lively little of it is made, as in most
districts the price of charcoal is pro-
hibitive. This company, however, has
control of two hundred thousand acres
of timbered land in Shannon and Car
ter counties, and, besides clearing the
land and mining the iron, will leave
the region in vastly better shape for
cultivation.
A similar project is under way in
Howell and Oregon counties, where a
six.million dollar corporation, head
cd by w. r. Haight of Brandsville, is
operating. This company has bought
the Great Carson mine, from which
more than three hundred thousand
tons of iron have already been taken
and which still appears to be solid
hill of iron ore, and twenty other iron
properties, some of which, biologists
say, will equal or surpass the Carson
mine.
A 100000 charcoal blast furnace
has been bought and will be set up
between West Plains and Brandsville,
and wood alcohol, acetate of lime and
charcoal iron will be manufactured.
1t is asserted that the ore from twenty
deposits assayed averaged 81 per cent
iron. Valuable deposits of pyrites of
iron also have been found in Howell
county, and large quantities are be-
ing mined at the Morrison mine near
West Plains. Zinc also is being mined
there, and what appeared to be a
paying face of lead was struck by
prospectors near West Plains last
week.
Wright and Webster counties are as
much excited over lead and zinc as
Howell, Oregon, Shannon and Carter
counties are over iron. Last fall j.
R. Sandage, a Joplin mining engineer,
was sent out to prospect for lead and
zinc near Mansfield. He came back
with samples of ore which assayed
SO per cent and the Joplin men would
not believe him. They went back
with him and took witnesses who saw
that he was lowered into hole after
hole and Clipped samples from the
solid rock with a hammer. Those
samples were assayed and showed 38
per cent ore. Then a race to secure
leases began.
Twenty-Five thousand acres of land
in Wright and Webster counties now
are under lease, ten prospect drills
are in operation, the Red Bird mill is
operating to its capacity, $50 tons a
day, the Pioneer mill is being rushed
to completion and two other mills
have been contracted for, to be COM
pleted this summer. In the Big Jim
mine a sheet of zinc eighty-fve feet
wide and ten to twelve feet thick has
been struck, on one of the limo prop
critics 30-foot face of lead has been
found, and in a dozen other borings
the mine run assay shows IL per cent
ore, in veins unusually large. The
mine run ore of many paying mines
assays only IL to 6 per cent.

truck trains are in constant service on
long hauls between the Middle West
cities and the Atlantic Coast. Now
it is not unusual to see truck train
consisting of from small number up
to fifty or sixty trucks en- route load
ed with materials formerly hauled on
ly by the railroads. The large vol
ume Of freight hauled by this method
has already served to materially re-
lieve the strain on railroad traffic and
is daily growing in volume. At the
same time the short hauls from dis
tributing centers are largely being
made by trucks, thus freeing much
railroad equipment from this service
to that Of through freight hauls.
This extended use Of trucks has
brought greater strain on the road
system in the more heavily travelled
sections Of the country than they con
successfully withstand. The transit
ton of the kind of traffic using the
highways has been so rapid, that ev-
en- before the war road building activ-
tiles and types of construction had
not kept pace with the change. Be-
fore the automobile became SO popu-
lar, the problem of building a road

WHY BETTER ROADS
IMMEDIATELY?

This question as to the feasibility of
continuing road construction and re-
pair throughout the country arose
soon after the entry of the United
States into the great war. The argu-
ment was that to do this would re-
quire large amount of energy that
might be more profitablys employed
towards what appeared from hasty
study of the situation, more direct
prosecution of the war. Munitions
were needed in heretofore unhcard Of
quantities and extensive factories
! were required to be built for those
purposes. Shipyards were sadly lack
ing in which to construct the vitality
needed ships for carrying to Europe
the tonnage of material consumed
daily. Camps and environments ap-
proximating cities in size had to be
built in record time for the housing
and training of the armies. There is
then little wonder that the roads,
which seemed of more minor import
ance, were forgotten and left neglect
ed in the mad rush.
Other things also banded together
to stop or at least reduce road work.
The supply of labor was drained to the
very bottom in all lines of secondary
effort by the pressing need in the con-
struction work Immediately concerned
with preparations for war. This left
existing road contracts unfinished and
prevented new ones from being I'M
dertaken. Many contractors entered
| int al ,,o4t
operation and devoted their entire eff
forts and organizations to aiding the
Government, sometimes dropping road
work for this purpose. The constant
ly increasing cost of materials and la
Dor for road construction induced
many communities to delay the let
ting of contracts until more propi-
tious time. Meanwhile, there is a
sentiment that the public in general
should submit for a few years to the
discomfort of bad roads until such
| time arrives. Some road officials have
to a great extent the impression that
they are periodically sacrificing con-
struction work in order that other i'm
portant preparations may go forward
unhindered.
The developments during the past
winter and spring have undoubtedly
proven that roads are vital neces-
sity in the general preparation for
war, and have shown the error of neg
Letting the highways.
During the congestion of traffic on
the railroads early in the fall, many
industries were forced to begin the
transportation of a part of their more
necessary materials by means Of au-
to trucks in order to maintain a suf-
ficient supply of materials. As con-
ditions grew worse and finally cul-
minated in voorhees, week and a Sc
ries of voorhees, Mondays, manufac-
turers and dealers concentrated their
efforts upon obtaining even the vital
necessities for their operations by the
use of the highways and roads. In
fact, for time portion of the sup
ply of coal and food for the public
depended upon truck haul.
At first the use of trucks was lin
tied to comparatively short hauls, but
this has developed so rapidly that

WAR AWAKENS THE OZARKS

Because men are fighting to death
in Flanders fields, long dreamed of
industrial awakening has come to the
Ozark Mountains in Southern Missou-
ri.
From the famous Iron Mountain dis
trict in Southeast Missouri, for which
the Iron Mountain railroad is named,
to the great lead and zinc district
around Joplin, the awakening has
come. Regions long known only for
scenic lovliness are pock-marked with
iron, lead and zinc mines and prosnact
borings, and giant smokestacks are
rising in valleys still the haunts of
wild deer and wild turkeys, where
"hickory root" plows are still in use.
In Carter, Shannon, Howell, Ore
gon, Wright and Webster counties,
heretofore little known for ore pro-
duction, the long-neglected treasure of
the everlasting hills is being yielded
up for the service of Uncle Sam.
Oddly enough, the greatest of these
developments has come here in Carter
county, the most backwoodsy of all
Missouri counties, with less taxable
wealth, less population, fewer schools
and less tillable land than any other
county in the State. Here in a noun
tain-locked valley of surprising scenic
beauty the Midcontinent Iron Com
pany is spending close to two million
dollars on an industrial plant of such

WHAT TO LEARN

Learn to laugh, A govu laugh is
better than medicine.
Learn to tend strictly to your own
business--a very important point.
Learn the art of saying kind and en-
couraging things, especially to the
young.
Learn to avoid all ill-natured re-
marks and everything calculated to
create friction.
Learn to keep your troubles tc
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop grumbling. If you
cannot see any good in this world
keep the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under a pleasant smile. No one cares
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism.
Learn to greet your friends with a
smile. They carry too many frowns
in their own hearts to be bothered
with any of yours.-Christian Life.

ANSWERING COUNTRY'S CALL

Missouri boys are answering the
call of their country and the navy with
renewed enthusiasm this spring, and
more than half of the applicants at

M. Wilson, Commanding Officer, "that
SO many young men from the country,
especially in the Middle West, should

There is adventure in plenty for the
men in the navy. A Missouri lad
who enlisted at the st. Louis office
about year ago, passed through the
city last week and related his expert
ences on one of the conveys that was
with the Finland at the time she was
torpedoed.
"There were "a of us on guard" he

voy duty. | was stationed up in the
crows nest, and was thinking life was
pretty dull until someone sighted a
periscope.
"Therc was enough excitement for
anybody as soon as the danger sig
nal sounded, and the guns began to
bark almost Immediately. Presently,
| couldn't say how long in minutes or
seconds, our wireless caught the
warning signal from one of them and
we knew that torpedo had been fired.

catch its wake. l can tell you was

at us, and / felt relieved when our
ship was veered around suddenly and
l saw the thing that was heaving the
water would miss us.
"The torpedo carried far enough,
however, to strike the Finland and
tear big hole in her. Our guns con-
tinued in action and made it so hot for
the U-boat that she sank and did not
try a second attack. The finland
got to port Under her own steam, and
the sailors were hailed as heroes. I'd
willingly go through the same expe-
rience every trip in order to be fed
and made over as we were there. No
thing was too good for u.s."
