Peoples, Says President

understand that vision. They do not
see it. They have looked too much upon
the ground. They have thought too
much Of the interests that were near
them, and they have not listened to the
voices of their ncighbors.
II have never had a moments doubt
as to where the heart and purpose, Of
this people lay when any one on the
other side of the water has raised the
question: viii America come in and
hclpY She cannot do anything else.
She will not disappoint any high hope
that has been formed of her. Least Of
all, will she in this day of new born
liberty all over the world fail to extend
her hand of support and assistance TO
those who have been made free.
Task to Preserve Peace
II wonder if at this distance you can
have got any conception of the tragic
intensity of the feeling of those peoples
in Europe who have just had yokes
thrown off them? Have you reckoned
up in your mind how many peoples,
Turkey, under the yoke Of Germany?
how many nations, were held unwill-
ingly under the yoke of the Austro-
Hungarian empire. under the yoke of
These yokes have been thrown of. +.
These peoples breathe the air and look
around to see new day dawn about
them. and whenever they think of what
is going to ill that day with action they
think first of us. They think first Of
the friends who throughout the long
years have spoken for them, who were
privileged to declare that they came
into the war to release them, who said
that they would not make peace upon
any terms than their liberty, and they
have known that Americas s presence in
the war and in the conference was the
guarantee of the result
The governor has spoken of great
task ended yes, the formulation of the
peace is ended. but it creates only a new
task just begun. ] believe that if you
will study the peace you will see that
it is a just peace aud n peace which. If
it can be preserved. will save the world
from unnecessary bloodshed
And now the great task is to pre-
servo it. have come back with my
heart full of enthusiasm for throwing
everything that | can. by way of in
huoncc or action. in with YOU to see that
the peace is preserved, that when the
long reckoning comes mon may look
upon this generation of America and
say, They were true to the vision which
they saw at their birth.

LATEST FIGURES ON
RAILROAD BUSINESS

According to railway administra-
ton figures, the mines and oil wells
of the United States furnish 55.75 per
cent of the tonnage hauled by the
railways. The material manufactured
from ores and minerals produced
from American mines and oil wells
furnish twenty-five per cen of the
remaining tonnage. This ratio has
existed in a greater or less degree
for many years. In 1910 the total com
bined appropriation for the bureau Of
mines and the geological survey was
81. 999.S15 and for the department of
agriculture ST., 900. 900. In 1919 the
combined appropriations for the bu-
reau of mines and geological survey
was $4,533,040 as against $72, 000, 900
for agriculture. Seventy per cent Of
the cost of producing raw metals and
coal is for labor. The American Min
ing Congress will ask congress for en-
couragement of mining through
reasonable protection for essential
war metals and minerals. Bills are
already before Congress for protec-
ton of several of these substances.

NOW Is THE TINE TO SWAT
THE ROOSTER, SAYS BULLETIN

The department of agriculture
sends out the following helping sug-
gestion, captioned swat BOOSTERS and
Save Millions"
Boosters not needed as breeders
should be put in the same class as
flies when it comes TO swatting. 1t
is estimated by the United States de-
partment of agriculture that $4,000
600 worth of eggs spoil yearly simply
because they are fertile. Fertile eggs,
when subjected to high summer tenn
perature, begin to hatch just as
when placed in an incubator or I'M
der a hen, and even though the pro-
cess continues but for a short time
the egg becomes unfit for food. This
spoilage of eggs can be entirely pre-
vented by swatting or d~isposing of
the rooster after the breeding season
is over.
"The campaign for the production
of infertile eggs has been waged
several years BY United States depart
ment of agriculture poultry special
lists, and is being taken up with re-
newed vigor in states where summer
temperatures are highest and losses
are greatest. Weeks have been desig-
mated Swat the Rooster for the sale
of surplus male birds. Enormous
quantities of %roosters. not needed
and being fed needlessly, have been
marketed during such weeks. 1t is
much more generally understood that
hens will lay just as well without a
male in the flock"

STROTHER FORTUNE
OF EARLY C0MSTOCK
Continued from Page one)

ed a controlling interest in the Bal
timore mine on the American Flat
claimed to be right on the lode. Be
ing a very patient man, he abided his
time-watching the tide. On a rising
tide, he would start the Baltimore,
publish the fact, and its name would
suddenly appear among the stock
quotations. and during the life" of
the market he would deal out stock
TO the public that he would accumu-
late at low tide. AS soons as the mar
ket fell, he would shut down the Bal
timore, and wait for the next tide.
The apex of all mining stock booms
in America was reached in 1874, on
the Comstock. The Combination
shaft was sunk during the late seven
ties and early eighties and attained a
depth of 1920 feet, and cut the ledge
at that depth. The big mine mana
gers and operators flocked to the
Comstock, hired a brass band, and
turned out every vehicle in town.
paraded, wined and dined. But they
could not maintain themselves at that
depth. with all their pumping plants
combined. So, about 1888, they re-
treated to upper levels, and returned
to old workings, and attacked inter
mediate levels. Jim Rule had been
a foreman in the Con. Virginia, and
knew where good ore had been left,
being part of the big bonanza, and
Senator J. P. Jones obtained a lease
of the Con. Virginia and put Rule in
charge of the work. In 1885, Con.
Virginia was consolidated with Cali
fornia, and an assessment of twenty
five cents a share was levied, and it
took the combined typographical
forces of the Virginia Chronicle and
Enterprise to set up the delinquent
list, and the Consolidated stock be-
gan selling at twenty-five cents a
share, and that was what the insiders
paid for it before Jim Rule reached
his cache. The stock sold for $3.50 a
share while Jim Rule was clearing
out the old works. and after reaching
the ore he had left in the seventies,
the stock jumped up to $40 a share,
and kept jumping for about two
weeks, when it reached SOS a share.
when most of the stockholders closed
their doors, not having bought the
stock paid for by their clients. and
many millions were lost over night.
OF course, the Baltimore was run
ming during the excitement, and the
fires excited with tar to make a big
smoke when the trains passed by, and
all the men scurrying on top. Stro-
Their had a Chinese cook who had
worked for him several years. He
gave his cook some shares of Balti-
more, and a purse full of gold, and
told him he could lay off a couple of
weeks, as he had been a good faith
full servant. Virginia's Chinatown
was SOilC loNh III thooc uoSPs -
cook acted like a prince in Chinatown
and gave his countrymen tips on Bal
timore, in the very best of good faith.
Strother doled off his Baltimore stock,
Chinatown went broke, and the cook
had TO skip between two days to save
his life. That is the Chinese money
which is now the bone of contention,
and that is the way it was annexed.
Query: To whom does the money
belong? OF course. under the law it
belongs to the heirs. But to whom
does it belong?-TCarson News.
