F.NCOURAGE UNDER
STANDING OF MINING
In all of the western states,
prospecting has disclosed num
erous ore deposits that un
doubtedly will be developed in
the future and become valu
able producing mines. In many
instances their development
has been held back of reason
of inability of the owners to se
en e necessary capital; in oth
e • • by reason of the ability of
existing mines to supply the
demands of the metal mar
kets; and in still others by
rej on of the low-grade xhar
acter of the ore requiring enor
mous investments to handle it.
Except in the cases of unusu
ally rich discoveries, it requires
many years to develop a mine
to its maximum production
and earning capacity. But a
sound proposition, properly
and adequately financed, and
developed under the guidance
of an energetic and able man
agement, generally returns
ample reward to those who
have the vision to grasp a
mine’s possibilities dui'ing the
early stages of development.
Public opinion is favorable
toward the mining industry.
During the next few years rich
mines will be developed from
what are now considered mere
ly likely prospects.—Wallace

TIME THE HEALER.
Malesherbes, at the age of
72, left his safe retreat in Swit
zerland to come to Paris, and
undertake the unpopular de
fense of Louis XVI. Malesher
bes must have known that the
king was condemned in ad
vance of his trial; must have
known that by defending his
former master he would bring
not only himself but his entire
fartiily to the guillitine. Never
theless he obeyed the call of
duty. Years later, when pas
sions had calmed, the people
of France recognized the hero- i
ism of Malesherbes, and one oi
th most beautiful streets of
Paris bears his name.
Thus it has always been in the
world’s history. New generat
ions grow up which have not
inherited the quarrels of their
forbears. They re-assess human
conduct, and give honor to
character rather than to suc
cess. They erect monuments
to Cromwell, though he over
threw the age-old British mon
archy. They hold in equal esti
mation the orthodox Bossuet
and the skeptical Voltaire.
They esteem Richard, the
Christian crusader, and Sala
din, his Moslem opponent.
We find the same thing hap
pening in the United States,
where a great civil war ended
only 60 years ago. Today the
military genius of the “rebel”
Lee is honored with that of
Grant, while for years Lincoln
has belonged not to the North
alone, but to the entire nation.

THE CHALLENGE TO ALL.
A worse menace than that
for which we went to war now
confronts us at home
indifference to law, the daily
making of thieves and murder-1
ers, the breaking down of our i
social structure, license not
liberty, indulgence not econ
omy, carelessness not security.
Ev«ry young woman in war
time, with tremendous zeal,
helped the struggle. Her patri
ostism is needed now even
more than then.
Millions were subscribed by
our business men to win the
war. Long hours of work were
given with $1 a year as the
sole monetary reward for the
most intense service. But v/e
are now menaced at home, and
a like devotion and a like labor
are needed if life is to be worth
living. The law of the jungle is
replacing the laws of sanity
and reason. The health, the
morals, the very life and liber
ty of all are at stake.
Real patriotism is sincere ser
vice for the good of our coun
try, which means service to fel
low citizens more than to our
selves.
Eevery man and woman of
influence in this country, for
sheer safety’s sake, must enlist
utmost effoi’ts to uphold the
law and solve the vexing prob
lem.
It is the duty of everyone to
know the extent of the law’s
violations now and the per
nicious effects and to give ev
ery ounce of energy to help
save America from itself.
Just for Fun
Some of the modern wives
want everything but children
and housework.
Some wives would hardly want
the credit of making their hus
bands what they are.
The United States is no infant
nation, but the weaning from
the bottle process is neverthe
less somewhat tedious.
The United States, a Wash
j ton dispatch proclaims, is back
! on good terms with Mexico.
: This will come as a shock to a
: !ot of us who didn’t know we
1 were mad at them.
Smile and the world smiles
with you. Frown and the world
laughs at you.
Husband—Hurrah, I’ve got a
week’s vacation.
Wife—How nice! Now you
can dig the garden, clean out
the cellar and whitewash the
kitchen.
“Is it possible to confide a j
j. secret in you?”
j “Certainly. I will be as silent
i as the grave.”
j “Well, I have pressing need
| for two dollars.”
“Worry not. It is as if I had
heard nothing.”
Before they were manned he j
whisperd to her:
“Were I drowning in the mid-j
die of the Atlantic Ocean-going
down for the third time-you
would be the last person I’d
think of.”
It made her feel happy.
After they had been married
several years he made the
same speech. It didn’t seem to ;
! have the same meaning then.
Besides, she didn’t like the way
i he said it. So she hit him with
: a platy.
I Gentleman crook—Pardon me,
! sir, byt haven’t I held you up
before?
Weary Victim—Well, the gun
looks familiar, but I’ve forgot
ten the face.
You think money is the root
of all evil?”
“I don’t know about the evil
part, but most of us have to
root for it.”

I
Grocer Slow: “How is it that
I never see you in my store any
more?”
Customer: “Maybe its because
I ain’t there!”
Say, what makes you so darn
talkative?”
Well, my father was an Irish
man, and my mother was a
woman.”
—
"Physical culture, father, is
perfectly lovely!” exclaimed1
an enthusiastic young miss
just home from college. "Look!
To develop the arms I grasp
this rod in both hands and
move it slowly from right to
left.”
“Well, well,” replied dad ad
miringly, "What won’t science
discover next? Why, if that
rod had straw on the other
and, you’d be sweeping.”
A young woman political
worker was helping to take a
pre-election poll of the voters.
“May I see the gentleman of
the house?” she asked of a
large woman who opened the
door at one residence.
“No, you can’t answered the
woman decisively.
“But I want to know the party
he belongs to,” pleaded the
girl.
“Well, take good look at me,”
she said sternly. “I’m the par
ty.”
Auntie—Won’t it be nice
when baby brother talks?
•Joyce (rather jealous)—What
does he want to talk for? He
gets everything by just yelling.
Teacher—Johnny, suppose
you had 10 apples and 10
oranges and gave nine-tenths
of them to some other boys,
what you have?
Johnny—I’d have my "head
examined!
The train had halted at a
station surrounded by virgin
forest in one of the few locali
ties in the South where life is
still- primitive and the natives
cling to the customs of their
fathers. A passenger noticed
a party of men on horseback
who, from their general ap
pearance, looked very much
like a sheriff’s posse.
‘•Who are they after?” he ask
ed a man who was lounging on
the platform.
“Well stranger,” drawled the
native, “you see Ike Jones’ eld
est boy is fo’teen today, and
they aim to run him down an’
put shoes on him.”

“I can’t remember the words
of that new song,” said the
girl.
“That makes it easier,” return
ed her father. “Now all you’ve
got to do to make home happy
is to forget the tune.”
Never trust a girl who says
she loves you more than any
thing else in the world—It
proves she has been experi
menting.
