WORLDS PRODUCTION OF GOLD.

WORLDS PRODUCTION OF GOLD.
The United States Geological Survey
Department of the Interior, has given
out some preliminary figures showing
the production of gold throughout tn.
world in 1919. The production in the
United States was SOS, 1856, 1876; Canads
is reported to have produced Sl4, ,6S7,
600, India, Sl0,02S,O00; Australia {no;
including New Zealand or the Islandsl
S29, 2S6, 900; the Transvaal, $l7l $40, 1913
Rbodesia and West Africa, SIS, ,63l ,070.
There was probably large decreases in
the production OF gold in Russia and
probably made in Central and South
America, which however, was doubtless
offset by decreases in the output of other
counties. The incomplete returns now
available indicate that the worlds pro-
duction of gold. in 1919 was between
sS45, 100000 and $3.50, 100000. The
$3.50, 924, 500.
The Geological Survey further states
that information received during the
first six mouths of 1926 indicates still
further decrease in the production OF
gold in the United States and that the
output for the year will probably be less
than $50,000,000 The production in
Alaska, Colorado, California, Oregon
and Montana will be much less in 1920
than it was in 1919, because water is
very short for placer mining and many
stamp mills are closed. Canada as a
whole may increase It's output, although
the production of the Yukon districts
will be smaller than last year. The out
put of Russia can not be estimated.
That of Australia will show a decrease.
That of South Africa and South America
will probably show no radical decrease
According to the Geological Survey the
indications are that the decrease in the
worlds production of gold in 1920 will
not be so great as it was in 1919.

Washington, Aug. l0.-A three bill

uncertain whether the promise of a
crop almost equal to those of 1912 and

reported during July in the important
corn states with the exception of Illi-
nois and a crop forecast 224, 900, 900
bushels larger than predicted July LIST,
was issued.
Wheat Estimate.
Spring wheat was adversely affected
during July, principally oy rust and the
production forecast was reduced 2,0OO,-
900 bushels from a month ago or to 262,
000,00 bushels. The preliminary esti-
mate of winter wheat was $4,000, ,O0o
bushels larger than forecast in July,
making the combined wheat crop only
100000 bushels smaller than estimat
ed month ago. The total OF 795 900,
600 bushels was predicted.
There was Improvement in the potato
crop and indications are that the crop
will exceed 4OOOOO,OOO bushels for the

The NEW EDISON

You've read how the New Edison has proved
its perfect realism. Four thousand tests have
been given, in which more than so different
artists compared their art with its RE J.

newspapers conceded that there was no diff
ference between the two.
Has any one suggested to you that these
comparison tests are g faxed - that the

fact: No one can distinguish any difference

Canada Plans Trap
For Salmon Eaters

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. besides
being the greatest enemy to salmon
in the great Canadian fisheries in
the Fraser river and Gulf of Geor-
gia, the hair seal is a clever beast.
And that is why the government
is planning a strategic coup to bring
to a climax its long war of extermi-
nation against the destroyers. And
because the tricky seals have out
witted the fisheries agents on other
occasions, the government is not
going to let the seals hear an ink
ling of the plan until it is all ready
for pulling" it,
For years these seals have defied
all efforts at their extinction. When
the tide is out, thousands of them
may be seen summing themselves on
the sand near the railroad terminals
here. They raid the nets Of the
fishermen, rob them of their fish
and tear great holes in the rfets,
through which the imprisoned sal
mon escape. They even trail in the
wake of the fishing boats and steal
the fish right off the lines.
The government began by Offering
a bounty for their tails. But as get
ting the bounty meant getting the
tails first, the plan was fiasco,
for riflemen could not get within
range of the seals before they
scampered away. Next the govern
ment tried explosives. 1t planted
dynamite under the sand and when
the seals had come out to enjoy the
sun, the agents would touch Off the
explosive with electricity. The jolt
merely threw the animals far out
into the sea, and it was not long
before they came back to enjoy the

two important trunk lines between
Chicago and St. Louis passed
through. The only sign of habita-

the workmen building the refinery.
The Chicago boy shuddered His
wife burst into tears. She was for
returning at once. The husband
gritted his teeth however, and re-
called what his boss had told him
about the future of the town and his
own opportunities. So they stuck
to their jobs. In a few weeks they
had comfortable home built, and
with the completion of the refinery
more people moved in. Most of
them, however preferred to live in
Alton, half a dozen miles away, or
st. Louis, or it's Illinois suburban
places, less than an hour from
Wood River.
Smith. lets call the young manag-
er, was quick to see that, although
the refinery work was attracting in
habitants, there was no life in the
town for their families to enjoy, nor
any place to go when the days
work was done So he wrote his
boss that he'd need capital to pro-
vide a moving picture show, a drug
store, grocery and maybe a library
The money was quickly forthcoming,
with the result that when workmen
saw they could have enjoyment in
Wood River without paying carfare
to adjacent towns, they decided to
buy property and build homes. So
Smith set aside some of his com
panys money to loan workmen for
building homes.

growth of Wood River-America'

That is the story they tell at the
Standard Oil Company's refinery

Of this Industrial and home city, but
it is of especial interest now that
the federal census of 1920 has been
announced giving Wood River a pop

percent since 1910, when there were
only "a souls within its borders.
Wood Rivers population gain has
far outstripped that of any other city
or town so far announced since the
1920 count was made.
The story goes tina tthe manager
of the general office of the Standard

Prices

The price Of the New Edison has increased
less than 1870 since 1914. This includes
the War Tax.
Mr.. Edison has STAYED off price advances
by personally absorbing more than half of
the increased cost of manufacture.
Because of the exceptionally high quality
of materials and workmanship demanded
by the Edison Laboratories, and the con-
tinued scarcity of both, it may be necessary
to advance prices But rest assured that
this will not occur, unless Mr.. Edison is
forced to it.

 Dr. Bowling explained that local con- ditions do not account for the number of cases The infection, he states, was brought from all over the state when the boys were sent to the school.
 A similar examination is to be made by the health department at the Girls Industrial School and other such insti- tutions. Where the disease is found the case is turned over to the school physi- elan with recommendations.
