URGES EDUCATION
AS NATIONS NEED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Fuller
utilization of national resources in
coal, oil, water power, land, and in
human beings, is urged by Secre-
tary Franklin K. Lane, of the in
terror department, in his annual re-
port issued today. From the obser-
walton post that his office affords
over varied governmental activities
he draws the conclusion that "far
beyond all our possessions is
the American man." in a strong ap-
peal for Americanization and educa-
ton
ITO him, to his spirit and char
acter, to his skill and intelligence
is due all the credit for the land in
which we live" MI. Lane said. "That
resource we are neglecting. Twen-
ty-five per cent of the 100000 men
between twenty-one and thirty -one
years of age who were first drafted
into our army could neither read nor
write our language and tens of
thousands could not speak it or I'M
derstand it,
Turning to the motive power IA
cilities of the nation the report says:
THE measure of a peoples indus
trial capacities seems to be surely
fixed by its motive power possibility,
and the coal strike has brought con-
cretely before us the disturbing fact
that we live virtually by unanimous
consent Let less than one-half of
one per cent of our population quit
their work of digging coal and we
are threatened with the combined
horrors of pestilence and famine"
Mr.. Lane asks adequate provision
to collect statistical information
about the industry, paving the way
to better utilization of fuel in fu-
ture.
Consideration of waterpower and
petroleum deposits takes Mr.. Lane to
the wider spaces of the west. He
states that 70 per cent of the avail
able horsepower in the nation lies
west of the Mississippi, and places
the total oil production in 1918 at
$4,000 barrels. Passage of public
land leasing legislation will make
available further rich supplies, he
says, and eventually the deposits of
oil shale "can be made to yield vast
ly more oil than has been found
in pools or sands"
A new basis for the operation of
the reclamation service, which has
chiefly been occupied in western
states with a total of 1902, 900 acres
made irrigab1e, is suggested.
Mr.. Lane says that 10000 demob-
ilized soldiers have applied for pub
| lie lands. He reasserts his belief
that the government is justified in
doing for soldiers what it would dc
for no other class, as he has pro-
posed in pending measures.
The Alaskan railroad, Secretary
Lane says. has been we'll and solidly
built, for "as little money as pri.
vate parties could build it," Though
total costs have been rising, due to
| general price situation, the report
places expenditures at $4,000 an6
| $4,000 per main line mile so far as
compared to $4,000 per mile reach.
ed recently by some private roads
in the United States.
On irrigated lands last year, $685.
100000 in agricultural products were
grown, and Mr.. Lane remarks that g
federal expenditure of 500, 100000
has added close to $500,O00,O00 to the
tax valuation of western states. The

crop values totaled $18,188, 900, was

some big conventions have been held
by the Christian Endeavorers since the

more than 100000 people from an or
dinary life, without any ideals or goals
TO reach, to a higher. spiritual and a
nobler life that will help humanity in
its great struggle for better things.
The society is certainly a training
school for the young people and a
strengthening tonic for the old folks.
From the very beginning the conven-
ton feature has been an inspira ton
and some great gatherings have been
held at many places.
Buffalo, 1919" which is now in ses-
sion, will close tomorrow and will go
into history as the Challenge Con-

the greatest gathering for denomina-

In the morning she leaned out
of the window of her prison in tho

far enough above the trees and

ocean beyond that. There was even

Then she looked to the north. and
saw n deep but narrow valley lying
between two rocky mountains, and
Il third mountain that shut off the
valley at the further end.

her across it, and magical pair
of silver shoes had carried her

wonderful procession that made the
girl open her eyes in amazement as

First came a magnificent golden
