not always wise: for the bonnet that is

IMMENSE DEMAND FOR TIN
United States Produces None and
Uses More Than All the Rest
of the World.

The United States now uses in the
manufacture of tin cans as much tin
plate as all other countries together
use for all purposes. There is no
substitute for tin. Price has little
effect on consumption, which is not
true Of other metals. If tin cost
Is cents a pound. we should per-
haps put a thicker coating on our
plates and make better solder and
Babbitt metal. but if it we're a dol
lar a pound, we should still have to
use it for nearly every one Of the
purposes for which it is now EN-
.ploved.
The lack of tin is one Of the few
things that keep the United States
from being self-suficient. If we
were suddenly deprived Of our sup
ply of tin and solder, we should
soon have serious sanitary tr)ub les.
This is the only metal that sells
today at less than the average price
Of two years before the war. Other
metals are selling at prices from 81
to $50 per cent higher, but tin il

FEW OIL WELLS PAY.

The best records show that 5o0,-
600 oil wells have been drilled in the
United States since 1859, writes
John K. Barnes in the Worlds
Work for July.
Now, if we prorate all the oil that
has been produced over all these
wells, which include all the dry
holes. there would be less than So
600 worth for each one. That is
little. if any, more than the aver
age cost of drilling the wells: last
year the average cost was about
$4,000.
And this is without giving any
consideration to the cost Of lands
and leases, the expense Of lifting
the oil out Of the ground-most
wells in the United States have to
be pumped-taSes or overhead ex-
penses.

In menorian.

In loving memory of our dear wife
and mother, Mrs. Louis Aberg, who
passed away to her heavenly home
four years ago today, Jan. 22. 1916.
No one knows how much we miss her;
Friends may think the wound is healed
But they little know the sorrow
That lies in our hearts concealed.
Oft we think Of our dead loved one,
And our hearts are sad with pain,
But she's free from pain and trouble,
Sleeping in her quiet bed
Waiting there till Jesus calls her
To awaken from the dead.
Thus our hearts look up with coursge e
To that Resurrection day
When there will be no more parting
And all tears be wiped away.
Her Husband and Children.
