MlNG-GREAT VALUE.

l Subject matter of unusual interest
and value is contained i'm the last
bulletin published on radium bearing
minerals 10y the bureau of mines In
this bulletin it is stated that the
United States not only produces the
largest tonnage OF radum bearing
ores but that in this country exist
the largest reserves of these rare
minerals Moreover the states of
Colorado. Utah and Wyoming lead in
the production of these ores The
bulletin follows:
THE United States is by far the
largest producer of radium and has
The largest known reserves of radium
bearing minerals. However. the
quantity produced. when compared
with that of other minerals. even the
most precious. such as gold. platinum
or diamonds. seems absurdly small
but in no other substance is so large
monetary value compressed into so
small a bulk The yearly output of
gold and platinum may he measured
by the ton. the output of diamonds by
the thousands of pounds, but the out
put of radium is measured by the
gram G543). Gold and platinum are
sold by the ounce and diamonds are
sold by the karat @ 1-6 grains), but
radium is sold by the milligram. l-2O5
of a karat The value of the other
named is due largely to
their use as ornaments, but radium
commands its price because it is most
seriously useful.

STATE INSPECTOR
REPLIES TO PERRY
Editor News-Budget.
Ladysmith. Wisconsin.


Ladysmith. Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:
| have before me clipping from
your paper which contains an April
LIST communication from NJ. w. Perry
of Ingram This statement of his, like
the former one to which he refers.
would be interesting if true The
heading Of the article is seriously out
of joint with the main point in it..
Gentlemen in the school inspection bus
mess DO not do the things h" imagines
and which he alleges to be true. 1t
has been stated 10 him in private cor
reSpOndcnce that he is wrong and all
the evidence to establish that fact is
at hand. The only way that seems
possible to account for his persistence
in such a statement is that he has re-
peatcd il to himself so often he has
come to believe it.
1T is Il fact that | found the teacher
to whom he refers dissatisfied with
her salary and discontinued. | could
not undertake to say why she never
reported that matter to him. Perhaps,
if we may judge from the fuss he has
raised about it, she was afraid to do
so. / reported the matter to the
board. and | supposed | could repOse
enough confidence in each and every
member to permit me to state the fact
without danger of libelOus cOmmmi-
cations in the public press which
reaches people who have no interest
whatever in the matter. In this case
it seems | was disappointed. For af-
ter the board considered the matter
and decided to take steps TO make the
teacher feel she was being treated on
the square. he took the matter before
the public and placed me in a false
position and his board in a ridiculous
one. / have reason to doubt the sim
certify of his position because he knows
full we'll that the members of his
board are free agents. The article
served as good propaganda, and | be-
lieve that is the only reason for its
publication.
/ must ask the pardon of your read
ers for adverting to this matter in
public way. My only excuse for doing
50 is Mr.. Perry's persistence in a state
ment that is untrue ] have no doubt
whatever that the public can easily
see through the whole matter.
| Sympathize keenly with the men
who have settled on wild lands III nor
thern Wisconsin and find it difficult to
make things go and pay their taxes.
But believe it worth while for us all
to consider whether there are not two
individuals who are responsible for
any distress that exists. One of them
is the man who settles on wild land
without the necessary means to sustain
himself in the face Of fiuctuating eco
monte conditions. The other is the
one who encourages him to do it. /
leave it TO the Judgment of the dis
tressed to decide which is most to
blame.
Yours very truly,
W. r. ANDERSON.

WOULD URGE u. S. TO BUY
GERMAN AFRICA
Senator France Has His Eye on Rich
Continent Formerly Owned by
German Empire
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Fress)
Baltimore, Md, Dec. 3O.-The de-
veopment OF Africa and the recently
owned German colonies in that con
tinent by white and Colored Ameri
cans was advocated by Senator Joseph
|. France of Maryland in an address
recently before the National Associa-
ton of Colored People at the Acad
emy of Music in Brooklyn.
Senator France suggested that the
Allies fix the German indemnity at
$l5,000,000, 900, crediting' that nation
for the African colonies taken with
$5,000,000,00 Then he added;
These colonies could then be sold
by The Allies to the United States for
a sum in the neighborhood of from
S5,000,000 to %,000000, 900, the
Allies receiving credit in this amount
against their indebtedness to the
United States In this way Europe
would pay a large part of her debt to
us. She would then be in a position
to purchase form us supplies for her
rehabilitation, the foreign exchange
situation would be relieved and re-
construction would proceed rapidly.
The United States would receive
for very dubious assets a million
square miles of territory-about al
most one third her total area-and an
opportunity would be offered to white
and Colored Americans 10 do thir par
in cooperating with other nations il
the development of that wonderful
continent.
Il do not believe that America vii
seek TO eyade responsibility when thu
opportunity offers for sharing in thu
responsibility for bringing abou
world improvements. Many Colore;
Americans are interested in this prob
lem and would welcome an opportun
ity OF sharing in the work OF upbuild
ing and developing the African con
tinent.

These and other health activities
