MINES KEEP RAIL
ROADS BUSY.
(Mining Truth
Ralph F. Couch, Washington
statician, analyzes reports of
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and finds that 56.2%
of the freight carried on Amer
ican railroads consists of the
products of mines. For Can
ada it is probable that the pro
portion is even greater.
Other industries contribute
as follows to the nation's
freight bill: Farm products,
8.36% ; forest products, 7.85
livestock, 1.96%; manufactur
ers and all other tonnage, 25.
11%.
Does this explain why all
railroad men should join
hands with mining men in
thwarting the efforts of those
who would hogtie the mineral
industry by impossible taxes
and restrictive laws?
Consider the additional fact
that most manufactures de
pend on mineral products foi
their raw materials. Agricult
ure, it is true, supplies the ne
cessities of existence; but min
ing furnishes the essentials of
civilization.
-e
COMMENCERS.
“Success” is the topic as the
school period ends. The world
receives its yearly accession of
school-trained youngsters with
somewhat the same sense of
hopes and fears and responsi
bilities that it feels for the
babies. The boys and girls out
of school are born again to new
and enlarged phases of life ex
perience, and the world is anx
ious about them.
What should seem simplei
then than that the work’
should delegate its successful
ones to give the formula of
success to the newcomers?
Pass the word along to the
novices; you have succeeded:
tell them how you did it. Tlu
result is disappointing or would
be if it were taken seriously.
The oldheads can’t tell the
beginners how. They them
selves know very well how lit
tle of their achievement came
about by their own efforts;
how much was due to an ad
mixture of chance, of favor
able circumstances and boost
ing of others. There is no spe
cific direction making straight
the road to success. The eld
ers never can persuade the
boys and girls at commence
ment that they are to tread
paths marked with footprints.
The optimistic, eager, advent
urous spirits, who for a whole
years have been accustomed to I
the dignity of being called j
“seniors,” are bent on nothing i
less than the conquests of new ;
worlds. Commencement means
to commence, not to finish.
It is well. The wisest who
have lived have not made the
world what it ought to be. The
job has not been very well
done. There is much that needs
commencing. We need better
cities and better farms, better
government and better citi
zens; better business and bet
ter recreation, better industries
and better arts-in the whole
category of what has been ac
complished there is nothing
hat could not be better. Turn
he graduates loose without
coo much hampering advice.
After all, each must create his
world for himself.
MOTHER'S DAY.
Mother’s Day releases the
flood gates of tender memories
‘or many men and women. To
others who still possess that
heaven-loaned saint it ought to
mean more than it ever can
mean until the borrowed is re
turned.
It seems to be part of the hu
man scheme of things that no
matter how much a mother is
appreciated in life, the real ap
preciation comes only after she
;s gone. This is not the experi
ence of one son or of one
daughter, but of all children.
It is like health, sunshine and
the other treasures of life, val
ued most when gone.
Mother’s Day is not an old
day as such events are reckon
ed and in some respects it is
not essential to the true relat
ion between mother and child.
There are any number of sons
and daughters to whom a
Mother’s Day is not necessary
to show proper respect and
devotion to that parent. To
them every day is Mother’s
Day, but there are others
whose affection is no less but
whose thoughts go astray that
do find in this yearly observ
ance the suggestion for doing
the thing that they really
but forgot.
meant all along to do or to say
The wearing of a flower, the 1
writing of a letter, the pilgrim
age to a grave, the especially
tender kiss, these and kindred
expressions of child-love for
mother are appropriate on
Mother’s Day. To those who
have, Mother’s Day should be
embraced to its fullest oppor
tunity, for there comes a time
when Mother’s Day makes the
heart ache with longing and
the sense of a terrible loss.
Just for Fun
The chances are that within
a season or two, all the costume
a bathing beauty will require
will be a box of axlegrease.
Eskimo women chew boot
leather and Ben Oien says he
knows women who chew the
rag.
The earnings of the bootleg
ger business are very well
named when they are referred
to as “the gross receipts.”
Bill—“Say, Jack, how did you
get that red on your lips?”
Jack—“That’s my tag for
parking too long in one place.”
People always admire a man
with opinions of his own if his
opinons match their prejudices.
If only those who like to
pluck flowers along the high
way would get the blooming
idiots.
The shorter wave lengths are
more successful. Now if the
radio orators could learn some
thing.
One reason why wee girls
have better complexions is be
cause somebody uses soap on
them more frequently.
Another way to exterminate
our wild life would be to do
more spanking.
Nature balances things. Only
the sharp ears get the cutting
remarks.
You’ve probably noticed the
scarcity of bargains in things
you need.
He: “What’s the matter?
Don’t you like the way I make
love ?’
She: “No. Why can’t you
make love to me like a knight
of old?”
He: “Do you mean to say
you’d like to sit on a cast iron
knee?”
It isn’t difficult to teach the
heathen to wear clothes. They
don’t see any news photo
graphs.
The Indians may have had
their faults in the old days,
but they surely knew how to
pick their summers.
Professor: “Mr. Wed, give us
the definition of a bachelor.”
Wed: “A bachelor is a man
that didn’t have a car in his
younger days.”
Maid—I’m afraid these new
shoes are much too small for
madam.
Movie Star—That’s why I got
them. I have to register a lot
of anguish in the film today.
Nurse. “Yes, you were kept
alive for three weeks on
brandy.”
Patient: “Just my luck-me be
ing unconscious all the time.”
Mr. Newlywed. “And how do
you get along with the butcher,
darling?”
Mrs. Newlywed. “Oh, splend
idly! He’s such a generous
man. When I order a four
pound joint he always sends
one weighing six or seven.”
There’s that silly old taxider
mist ordering dinner for his
flapper assistant.
Yeah. He's stuffing her and
she’s skinning him.
Ambition, the desire to be
first, is the raw material from
which successes are made.
All things come to him who
waits, including many he
wasn’t waiting for.

Bringing a crew of 18 men
with him to work on the devel
opment of his 13 copper claims
in the Nabesna country. D. C.
Sargent, of Hyattsville, Md.,
arived at Cordova recently and
left soon after for the interior.
Mr. Sargent, who has been
prospecting in Alaska since
the early days of the gold rush,
and who has worked around
this section for the last 15
years, located his present
property about 200 miles from
Chitina. It contains both high
an(l low grade ore, he said. If
the ore is found in sufficient
quantity to warrant product
ion, Sargent hopes to make
connection with the Kcnnecott
Copper Exploration whereby
they would extend their rail
road to the district and work
the property.
