WORLDS GREATEST PRODUCER

The United States is the most pro-
ductive country on earth 1t leads
all the rest of the globe in the yields
Of the mine, soil, and the factory.
This fact was tersley and cogently
set forth by Judge Ebert II Gary,
chairman of the Board of the United
States Steel Corporation, in an ad-
dress which he made before the A
merican Iron and Steel Institute,
Judge Gary said: "Notwithstand-
ing the United States has only per
cent of the worlds population, and
but percent of the worlds land. we
produce:
go per cent of the worlds supply
of gold.
"25 per cent of the worlds supply
of wheat
40 per cent of the worlds supply
of iron and steel.
40 per cent of the worlds supply
of lead.
40 per cent of the worlds supply
of SILVER
80 per cent of the worlds supply
of zinc.
so per cent of the worlds supply
of coal.
go per cent of the worlds supply
Of aluminium.
80 per cent of the worlds supply
Of copper.
"6O per cent of the worlds supply
of cotton.
&c per cent of the worlds supply
of oil
"75 per cent of the worlds supply
of corn.
"S5 per cent of the worlds supply

In face of marvellous showing
like that, who can for a moment
doubt the future prosperity of this
country?

UNLoADED GUN INJURIES LAD

Last Wednesday. Lornen Loren

Lorensen, was seriously injured.
whan bullet of high-powered
rife went through his wrist.
The injured boy. was in company
with his brother, Johnny, and were
"fooling with the weapon, not real
izing that the piece contained three
cartridges. We are told, that John
ny in playful command ordered
his brother to hold up his hands. of
which he did, and at which action
the gun was discharged. the ball
penetrating through the right wrist
doctor was summoned. who at
once administered first aid. and was
going to take the lad to the hospital
but owing to the fact that his heart
has been weak and under the doe
tors care for that, 1t was decided to
let him remain at home; time telling
as to whether the hand would have
TO be amputated.
At this time Lornen seems to be
getting along nicoly but it is thought
that though becoming well he will
never have the normal use of the
injured hand.
