In addition to these deposits con-
trolled by Japan, the country looks
in the future to the extensive de-
posits of China and hopes to CO.
operate in their development. DR..
H. Foster Balm. assistant director of
the United States Bureau of Mines,
estimates China's available ore de-
posits at 700 million tons, of which
400 million tons are suitable for
modern furnace methods and the
remainder susceptible of treatment
by native methods. Japan is al
ready financially interested in a
number of the Chinese mines. If
China should agree to the joint OPP
GRAFTON of these mines, Japan would
be assured of unlimited supplies of
ores. In any case she will be able
to purchase a portion of the ores and
pig-iron produced in China.
With respect to coal. the second
important raw material for the iron
industry, it may be said that Japan
is fairly we'll supplied with medium

demned the hiring of singers as COM
parable TO the ancient practice of hr-

After pointing out the psychological
and historic basis for the prominence
and necessity of music in religious ex-
erclses. DR.. Grant said:
Possibly Unitarianism has drifted a
little apart from the emotional inter-
ests of life and has placed too sole an
emphasis on intellectual processes. and
for this reason may fail TO perceive the
religious value of music. the great un-
folder and interpreter of the emotional
and subconscious sides of our nature.
The man or woman who sings the
beautiful church music cannot he en-
tirely out of sympathy or harmony with
the thoughts and emotions expressed.
The great composers were great souls.

Not many decades ago the ruling
elasses of Japan addressed them
selves to the formidable task of ap-
propriating Western material civiliZ-
euon. which in a sense has been
FOUNDED upon iron and steel. The
task was approached almost empty
banded, with practically nothing in
he way of science, traditions, me-
chanical equipment or industrial ex-
perience and with but slender re-
sources of any sort. Barriers of
language and means made acquisi-
lion of the necessary learning very
difficult. There was little expert
ence in the use of metals for con-
Ftruction and manufactures, wood
being the standard material of the
nation- Houses and even boats were
put together without nails or metals
Df any sort.
In spite of this most meager back
ground from which to make a be-
ginning. it should be said that from
hncient, even NEUROLOGICAL, times
there has been metal and iron work
ing of a sort in Japan. But this was
limited to the sword-making and to
works of art, under the patronage
of the feudal lords. Encased in the
mysterious secrecy of the guilds.
the knowledge and practice of metal
working was never widespread.
In the latter half of the Nine
teenth Century. with the gradual in
Production into Japan of ideas from
abroad, came the first positive at
kempts to establish the iron indus
try along modern lines. Between
pS74 and 1883, the Government ac-
|Quired and operated the old Ka-
fmaishi iron mine, but gave up the
enterprise after having lost one mill
Qion dollars. Subsequently, in pri-
fvate hands, this mine has become
|the most important private one in
Japan. The need of iron and steel
PIN connection with the Chino-Jap-
|anese War in 1S94-95 led to another

(which began actual operations in

with China, had been making some
progress, but the end of the century

War a Great Stimulus
Although the original plan of the
government works had called for an
annual steel output of ninety thou
sand tons, the entire production of
the country did not once equal this
amount until 1907. Nevertheless,
the effect of the governments op-
erations, which effectively began in
May, 1901, and the stimulus of the
Russo-Japanese war may be noted
in the rapid and steady increase for
the next five years. From 1901 to
the end of 1905. the total yearly

thereafter about tripled every five

FARGO, n. D., Nov, 26.-Harry A,
Fox, a Mclean county farmer, has

into mutton, ana has twice as many
sheep as at the start. .ss
Acting on the advice Of the county
agent, Mr., Fox bought II sheep in 1917,
They proved to be the best weed eradi-
Gators in the world. and at the end Of
the season he sold the wool clip for
$50, The herd foraged through almost
the entire winter.
Emerging in good condition in the
spring of 1918, the herd produced more
than 100 per cent Of lambs. Late that
year Mr.. Fox sold 20 head for $500,
sold the wool clip for Sl06, and during
the year slaughtered two and used them
for food. t-+.
Again the herd foraged successfully
through most of the winter, and last
spring gave him another 100 per cent
of lambs. This year, being thoroughly
convinced OF their value as a perma-

sold the wool clip for S112, and has sc
sheep on hand.
During the three years that he has
