Six months Imprisonment does not
seem too great a punishment for the
individual who, while intoxicated,
drives an automobile through the pub
lie streets That was the penalty in
ficted this week by Judge Barratt
upon a defendant who pleaded guilty
to having taken two drinks" before
operating his car. 1t is not how
ever. the severity Of the punishment
that promises to be the surest guar
antee of the abatement of the perils
that menace every user of the high
ways. but the certainty of arrest and
retribution for the lawbreakers.
AS Judge Barratt justly observed in
his charge to the October grand jury
most of us obey the law. 1t is the
few who do not, and it is the latter
with whom the jury is expected TO
deal. And he warned the jurors that

Production Of Gold in Brazil.

The total production of gold in Bra
iii averages slightly less than $4,000, =
600 per annum, according to General
A. Gaulin. Consul at Rio de Janeiro.
It is mined in the states of Minas
Geraes, Matte Crosse. Goyaz. and
Bahia, but the only mines of any i'm
portance are situated in the state of
Minas Geraes.
The largest gold mine in Brazil is
at Villa Nova de Lima, in the State
of Minas Geraes. The mine. which
is now owned by an English concern.
has reached a depth of nearly $500 IT,,
and it is claimed to have still a re-
serve of 100000 metric tons of ore
The monthly output averages from
$4,000 to $4,000 tons, and the yearly
production is valued at about 5000
,s5. About 5000 men are employed In
his mine
Another important mine is at Pas
agem de Mariana. Minas Geraes.

ADVERTISING THE MINING RE-

The Bonner county mining bureau,
with headquarters at Standpoint. is
adopting practical means to bring the
mining resources of that county to
public attention. a bulletin issued by

which gives much information regard

the way of mining development and
various steps taken with the view to
aging mining investments A
select mailing list has been secured

! in the whole century before. The
United States has produced more coal
in the last Is years than in the hun
dred years preceding, while during
the last decade we have mined more
copper and more zinc than were pro-
duced in all the years before that,
since copper and zinc mining COM
menced in this country. More as
founding than all else is the fact that
this nation has exhausted more of its
petroleum reserve since the outbreak
previous to 1914. Fifty years ago the
value of our mineral production to-
tailed only $780, 100000 annually; to-
day the figure has risen to S7,000000-
600. The common thought that we
are self efficient in the matter of
minerals is a fallacy that is carrying
us rapidly to a day of deep regret, If
not national disaster A survey COM
pleted this year shows that our re-
naming oil supplies amount to only
5000, 100000 barrels-not enough to
last 20 years.
And right here is the point of the
story. The mining industry of the
United States-the greatest business
on earth-is handled by one small
federal bureau in Washington, just as
such minor matters as Indian affairs
and patents and pensions are handled.

The Future
(The Pathhnder)

It's well that the future is hid from
our sight
That we walk in the sunshine, nor
dream of a cloud;
We cherish a flower. think not of the
blight
And dream of the loom that may
weave US shroud.
1t was good. it was kind. in the Wise
One above
To fling Destiny's veil DER the face
of our years.
So we see not the blow that shall
strike at our love,
And expect not the beam that shall
dry up our tears.
Though the cloud may be dark, there
is sunshine beyond it;
Though the night may be long, yet
the morning is near;
Though the vale may be deep, there
is music around it,
And hope mid our sorrow, bright
hope is still near.

oPALEscENT DAYS.

(Minne Irwin in N. Y. Herald)
The air is frosty in the morns
And chilly in the ewes,
And brings upon its bracing breeze
The tang of burning leaves;
Gray smoke obscures the distant hill
And hides the vale below,
And hovers over ashes still
With secret fires aglow.
The earth is like a cloudy gem
Shot through with restless rays,
4 misty jewel with its heart
With red and gold ablaze
To light the years descending feet
By pathways sad and sober,
The stone of omen and of hope,
The opal of October.

chemieaIs From Corn cobs.

BY developing new methods of ex-
tracing furfural from corn cobs
chemists of the department of agri-
culture have greatly reduced the cost
OF making this chemical which is
used in the manufacture of soluble
and insoluble rosins for stains, warm
ishes, insulating material, printing
plates and many other articles. Fur
fural has ben made commercially from
oat hulls and has ben selling for about
90 cents a pound. but when made from
cobs it is estimated that 1t can be
manufactured at a cost Of about 10
cents a pound. Cobs give the great
est yield of furfural of any of the
common agricultural materials that
contain it.-Department of Agricul-

HELP EUROPE WITHOUT MIXING
IN ITS AFFAIRS.

In calling the Washington arma
ments conference and starting the
movement for the limitation of big
navies, the United States did more for
the peace of the world than three
years of deliberation by the league of
nations and of negotiation by allied
diplomats. The Washington confer
ence was only one of many steps in
the direction of world peace that the
Harding administration has taken.
Every one of them is additional testi-
mony to the entire willingness of the
United States to cooperate in efforts
for world peace and to the effective
ness Of American action while this
country is free from foreign entan-
clements Secretary Weeks expresses
what is in the minds of all true Am
orleans when he says: q am person
ally ii favor OF doing everything
TO bring about the indus

have already presented to Europe a

(Floyd W. Parsons in Philadelphia
Public Ledger)
People in a half dozen or more in
dustries have formed the habit of
saying and believing that their partic-
ular business is the greatest on earth.
The farmers assert that food is most
vital, and therefore that agriculture is
preeminent. The railroad people tell
us that transportation is most essen
tial and that, as a result, their indus
try is most important Members of
the lumber, automotive, packing, mo-
ton picture cement and other indus
tries all lay claim to rating at or
near the top of Americas listing of
big businesses.
The fact is that there is some basis
of truth in the seemingly extravagant
claims of the leaders of practically all
of our great industries, 1t is mostly
a matter of the point of view that is
taken. One must proceed to the selec-
ton of the worlds greatest industry
with caution. More than 100000

A NEW POLITICAL PARTY AND
THEN WHAT?

Frank A. Munsey and a few ultra
conservative bankers have attracted
some attention recently by proposing
the formation of a new political party
composed of the conservative ele-
ments in both the republican and the
democratic parties, based upon the
speciOus assumption that there is no
material difference between the two
and that this combination is neces-
sary to safeguard the country from
domination by radicals who have be-
come a menace to both the old or
CARNATIONS. On the other hand. the
so-called radicals are threatening 10
organize a new party to save the
country from impending ruin through
the reactionary attitude of the con-
servatives in both parties. The
spokesman for both elements are
loud in proclaiming their high and
holy purposes to rescue the country
from the ruin that confronts it, but
both alike refrain from going into
particulars as TO how they will &C

Ukraine Scores a
Victory Over the
Soviet Government
nv Associated Press)

Moscow, March 2-The Ukraine has
scored diplomatic victory over the
Russian Soviet government which
made it necessary for the American
Relief Administration to sign a sep
arate agreement with the Ukraine be-
fore it could legally open food draft
warehouses and general relief work
in that souther republic.
American workers were distribut-
ing food packages at Kiev, Odessa
and Kharkov for some time without
any agreement other than that enter
ed into with the Moscow government.
The Ukraine insisted that it was an
independent republic, fully compe-
tent to conduct relations with for
eign powers and entitled to be dealt
with as an autonomous nation wholly
free from Moscow control. President
Rakovsky, of Ukrainia, recently con-
ferred in Moscow with American Re-
lief Administration officials and made
his position clear.
The Ukraine wanted food packages
and relief from America but it wanted
to sign agreements with the Ameri-
cans just as the Moscow government
did. Furthermore it wants to nego-
tiate with Americans for loan to
relieve it's economic distress.
