Producers of lead and zinc
are enoying the most prosper
ous a.id stabalizing conditions
in hi dory according to a re
sume of the situation relative
to those metals by Sidney Nor
man, noted mining authority.
Owing to the wide disseminat
ion of both metals in this dis
trict the figures given should
provide much information and
encouragement for the local
miners Most pertinent to the
local situation is the fact that
the article shows that the ev
er-growing scarcity of botn
metal is forcing a search for
loth 1 ad and zinc properties
which can hardly fail to bring
the lo al field into pronn
r.ence
Ac.c '’ing to Mr. Norman
the dtmand for the two metal:
is inc- -using by leaps and
bound no new sources of mu
jor a. iy having been devei
oped : i many years and no sui
Maro y substitutes for either
metal have been round, lnex
orab.y the laws of supply ant
tlemn. d are working acutely to
the e iei.it of domestic pro
tiiKei
D-- .ho first nine month
of ..I jar the production o
lea om counir. which la.
yea applied about 80 pc.
cent . f the world’s supply
reached .>28,862 short tons, o
at th rate of 103,207 ton
monthly If the same rate it
mainta ned during the last
quarter of the year, the totai
product :on from those count
rits will reach 1,238,483 tons
computed with 1,140,380 tons
in 1924 or an average of 95,
032 tons monthly. Add to this
year’s total as above an
other £0 per cent to eovei
sources not enumerated in the
estimates and we find that the
world s output for 1925 win
appr n mate 1,500,000 tons
'her practically no surplus
i ha either here or in
other countries, and yet pro
'.'on being forced with
.y pedient at our coiu
■uand.
T 4v, ,a condition, although
-h- n less acute form, ex
reference to zinc,
ho despised metal, it hat
• *nto great and appar
cntly tasting demand at price
hat would have been consid
red princely a few short
ears ago. Countries which in
' 924 produced 87 per cent of
he world's total have during
he first nine months of this
,rear produced 804,364 tons, ui
in average of 89,374 tons
monthly. If the same rate is
maintained during the last
three months of the year the
output from those countries
vill reach 1,072,486 tons, corn
ered with 954,893 tons in
t924, or an average of 79,575
ons monthly. Add another 10
■>er cent for output of count
ies not considered in tht
hove estimates and we find
hat the world’s output foi
'925 will approximate 1,180,
90 tons.
So far as the United States
immediately concerned, the
jreement by which the Brit
h colonies will not permit
he exportation of zinc ores u.
ountries outside the Empire
e.3 had a very stimulating et
• ect, at least for the present
here is more demand foi
nc prospects of merit thai
any time in the memory o.
ic oldest inhabitant. The
oarch £3 g’eneral in all init
iates of the West, with a
eady market offered, not om>
ere, but. in Europe, particular
y in Belgium. The outlook foi
oth lead and zinc was nevei
etter and in all human prob
bility the present satisfaci
;ry conditions will prevail for
nany years to come.
The promptness with which
he request of some of the ad
nirers of Woodrow Wilson
hat a postal stamp be issued
n his honor has been acced
id to is but further evidence
>f how the American leader
' f the world war period
ands out in history. When
he suggestion was first made
here was a question of lack of
rccedent for honoring a preo
»’ent so soon after his death
n exception was made in the
'se of President Harding be
ause he died in office.
A. dispatch from Washington
owever, showed that all such
■lestions of precedent hac.
oen dismissed. The desire of
■ President Coolidge that a Wil
son stamp be issued was coni
municated to the post-office
department, and later it waj»
announced that the tribute
would be paid as soon a3 poss
ible. Undoubtedly it will be
generally approved.
Every year, it seems, more
and more people are living
outside the influence of honit
life. The fireside fellowship,
cultural influence and fratern
al Spirit of the home circle is
not now the potent influence
it once was in shaping the
life of the family’s members.
President Goolidge aptly re
marked in a recent address.
‘Look well, then, to the
hearthstone. Therein all hope
of America lies.”
In these days of movement*
»f all sorts-reform, moral up
'ift, civic betterment, etc.-why
;ot a movement among par
?nts to reestablish the home
ircle? Or don’t parents care V
lave they too lost their intei
st in their own hearthstone?
It is a question. Certainly the
hildren can’t be altogether to
jlame.

Men who are temperate in all
hings are not as apt to suffer
Tom gout, lumbago, indigest
on, heart trouble and general
grouchiness as the man who
every day of his life violates
any one or all of the laws of
nature.
-o
The Episcopalians have de
leted “obey” and “with all m.>
worldly goods I thee endow”
rom their marriage ritual, but
there will be the same con
spicuous absence of obedience
and endowment under the
new regime as under the old.
Just For Fur
Some people put then1 best
oot forward so far that the
>ther one never catches up.
We earnestly hope that the
ad school of experience will
lave no re-unions.
“You get mad at a friend.
Sail him a fool. He calls you

‘Addition? Well, if it’s cor

Tramp—“By moving on to

In making his famous jump

A boy will say “I seen” ex

Oren F. says he read in the

MINING DISTRICT
In a crowded bus a stout lady
vainly endeavord to get hex
fare out of the pocket of hei
coat, which was tightly button
ed as a protection to pickpock
; ets. After she had been trying
without effect for some min
utes, a gentleman on her right
said:
“Please, allow me to pay
your fare.”..
The lady declined with some
anger and renewed her at
tacks on the pocket. After
some little time the gentleman
again said:
“You really must let me pay
your fare. You have already
unbuttoned my suspenders
three times, and I can’t stand it
any longer.”
I like this kind of weather;
with zest it fills my soul,
And heat-begotten lethargy
no longer takes its toll.
With energy I’d rush to worn,
ere 6 o’clock has fled.
If only in the morning I could
climb out of bed.
Walter Blanton reports that
a speeding auto near town met
a bridge approaching at a rap
id pace. The bridge came out
winner.

Present day justice is not only

The old-fashioned way was
for the printer to set a three
em dash whenever the word
hell was mentioned, but these
days we are more up to date
and less prudish. We either
print the word hell or just say
a four-letter word meaning
fire and brimstone.

GLAD
TO HAVE
Yoru Business
ANY BUSINESS THAT tries to get along without a bank
is a very small business, even then it i3 not too small but
that its financial affairs should be handled through a bank.
A BANK IS one of the most important factors in the busi
ness life of the country.
TRANSACT YOUR business through our bank, no matter
how small it is now—the ban in may help make it larger.
