In every western mining state the
silver is the chief hope for a revival
in precious metal mining after four
years Of very scant development.
with little or nothing accomplished
because Of the scarcity Of labor and
the marked ineificioncy Of the labor
available.
Silver had fallen in TIE London
market in 1914 as low as % pence
per ounce, and last month was then
quoted at 90 i-2 pence. or si.lA per
ounce In gold.
The fact that a big Colorado COM

greatest producers.
Every dollar Of silver produced Is

Every dollar Of silver exported 10

The bright outlook for silver

In the midst Of all the anarchis-

LOAyEs. FISHES. AND TURKEYS

When the multitude were hungry
they were given loaves and fishes.
and their hunger was appeased.
In Columbus there may be some
family with but meagre ingredients
for the Christmas dinner. A wave Of
the hand today will not convert that
meagrcness into plenty. nor will Il
create a turkey from a crust OF
bread. Those who live In plenty
should q that there are none who
are In want on that day.
II We have a family upon whom
the hand OF misfortune has fallen.
We should see that their larder is
well filled, and that the Christmas
turkey Is not absent on our Day OF
Days.
