Editor and Publisher . a a ae a COZY CORNER CHAT California and the West are face to face with an industrial crisis that threatens the foundation of their prosperity.That crisis can well be termed “mining paralysis.”’ Like the branches of a cancer spreading out into a human body, its malignant poisons destroying flesh and blood streams, the dire effects of mining stagnation are reaching every avenue .of industry and business prospefity, for mining is unquestionly the real foundation of all human progress and achieveAment. It is time for all of the people of the West to wake up and ttake heroic measures to correct these conditions and avert the ‘spread of the dangers that now threaten the stability and prosperity of their states. The “‘cancer’’ in the mining industry is due to a number of causes that are entirely outside of any question of prolific amineral resources that are available for development and proitfable returns. No one can refute the fact that the settlement, devloped . and upbuilding of California and the west are due to panine . and the wealth poured into the channels of finance, commerce “and all human advancement, up to the very limits of the mar-velous achievements of today, which have made America the umarvel and financial power of the world. The gold, silver, copper, lead and other mines have all playeed their part in the evolution of civilization, and ‘all which includes. Without the mines and their products none of these things would have been possible of accomplishment. Yet, in the face of all these facts, mining is today paralyzed as a basic industry, largely because of liberal doses of “‘knockout drops’ that have been administered through unjust laws and restrictions inspired by persons who either could mot grasp the dangerous significance of the restrictions, or by anfluences whose selfish interests lay elsewhere. With the throttle choked down to the point of suffocation, adverse propaganda depicting dangers to investors has been mixed with every new turn of the screws that have been applied to the mining industry. On top of other evils that have beset us through constant xising costs of operation in practically every phase, including wimreasonable taxation, excessive compensation insurance wates place an additional burden of 10 per cent on every dollar eof mining payroll, which in many cases is dangerously close tto the margin between profit and loss. Today, even under the most favorable conditions and mine promise of good or large returns, it appears next to impossible to enlist capital to finance a new mining project or rehabilitate “jand old one. Yet, throughout the West there are millions upon millions eof dollars in mineral wealth awaiting the touch of capital to reclaim it and turn it into active +vealth and profits. In California and every other mining state many thousands «of men who are now idle could be profitably employed through rejuvenation of the mining industry, to the great benefit not only of the mining communities, but adding to the civic and ibusiness welfare of the State in general, through increased ayrolls and new wealth produced. _ Many of the burdens and restrictions that beset the mining industry must be fought down and overcome, and the yokes thrown off so that new life may begin to flow through the minang structure. Public confidence in mining must be regained. Public interest must be aroused and participation encouraged by spread3ng the truth of the profitable opportunities that exist in minang, backed by a record of achievementts and usefulness that enters into every artery of human happiness and progress.— "The California Mining Progress. A terrible calamity is about to envelope the gold industry caused by over production, much worse than the effects of over-production in copper, lead, zinc and broadcast through tthe United Press and purporting to come from a Japanese pro_ fessor of the Imperial-College. The statement is that he “‘estimates that there can be produced annually from Formosa IsYand $2,500,000,000 in gold.” _ Just think for a minute what this means. The total producttion of California from 1849 to date is but a billion and a half, ithe richest area in the Americas today produces a meager mildiona month, and here we are threatened with a peseeticn produced aeciaaly as California tas ‘prodhicea't in 80. years. Af we are to believe all that we hear and read, we many s00n be able to regard copper, lead and zinc as relatively pre‘cious metals, or if we are able to maintain a gold standard in athe face of that enormous potential production, Japan will own ‘tthe world, for it can buy it a couple of times every year. eC just wonder if this statement has any relation to a Japamese hond issue that is being floated to show plenty of assets = it, or whether some one has not stuttered a little when came to the 0-0-0-0-0-0. What is a few zeros, more or less Scientists oki 2 te Cope With the Locust Scientists’: have studied the locust for centuries. They still do not under_ stand the inspiration of its migrations or the irregular abundance of the insects. Where do such armies come from?’ They have flown in solid phalanxes from Africa to England; swarms have been seen at sea twelve hundred miles from the neayest land. Apparently most of them remain for years in remote desert regions; then something within them impels the advance upon man’s gardens. The gulls once saved Salt Lake City from a locust invasion, and the grateful citizegs raised a monuinent to thei? winged. saviors. In the old days our plains farmers kept flocks of turkeys, regarded as the locusts’ mightfest enemies. But apparently the plow was more potent,still, for when the plains went into cultivation the great » breedings of the locusts ended, and . the Rocky mountain locust ‘that rav-, aged the prairie states in the 70s and 80s is a rare insect today. The Russians have had some success with poison gas distributed by airplane; but airplanes are not always readily available when the swarms begin to fly. In flight of locusts is still as appalling as in the day of Joel. Carthage Made Great Ancient Carthage was the world’s first experiment in straight plutocracy. Its frame of government was much similar to that of Rome. Its ruling families governed through a senate, checked in one way or another by a popular assembly. Some of the ruling families kept power by alliance with the public, but what really made the city great was the ability of a few men, many of ‘them of the Barcidae family—Hanno, Hamilear, Hasdrubal and, above all, Hannibal. Yet the spirit of the city differed from that of Rome. Its people were at ofce more oriental and more commercial. Its religion was a weird affair, with the sacrificing of children in the burning mouth of a god. And Its i trading spirit went so far as to weaken its strength. Its mercenaries were good fighters, while they were paid, but in the end the Roman legion, manned by citizens of the republic, brought them to the ground. Frascati and Tusculum One of the most delightful excursions from Rome is south to Frascati and Tusculum. This section is higher than Rome, and cooler, go it has become a favorite summer resort for Romans and foreigners alike. There are many beautiful villas owned by famous Roman families, and often the public is admitted to the gardens of ancient trees and splashing fountains, and to the interior courtyards and galleries. It is a hard climb to see them all, so many people prefer to hire Mttle donkeys before leaving Frascati. The road to Tusculum was built by the ancient Ramans—Cicero’s chariot used often to pass over it on the way to his summer place, and all the patricians came this way to the -theater which is in a fine state of preservation to this day. Philosophie Fable Once upon a time there was a man who discovered that he could run faster from a Lion than he could after a Rabbit. One day while marveling ever the fact that the Rabbit always got away when he chased it, and that in escaping from a Lion he always ran faster than any Rabbit was ever known to run, it came to him that if he could only be chasing bunnies at the same time that he was fleeing Lions he would always be able to capture the one at the same time that he was. getting away from the other. After that he always had Rabbit Stew for dinner any day he got between a Lion and a Rabbit, and he went looking for.Lions every day.— Kansas City Times. Mankind’s Duty There is nothing lost in doing good, nor is there lack of wisdom in cloud or light. They are all above us and beyond us, and for them we are not to account, but the talent given in our keeping, we are held to render its return with something added. Progress is the law of life, and progress is the product of doing. Our work is here and it is within our grasp and power to do our best. We cannot advance in this life, by asking that our work be done—for_us,_nor_if_we possessed_unSparks. _ Historic Colonial Mansion The Wythe house in Williamsburg, Va., was thehome of George Wythe, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

VEGETABLES As there are sO many people nowa-days who eat little or no meat, one may find whats -ts called the “vegetable plate” in most restaurants which serve an to five “different . kinds, well — seasoned and cooked and. this supplies a good main dish. More and more vegetables is what our bodies need to give them the right kind of roughage, as well as the vitamins and minerals so important to health. Creamed Celery.—Take the coarser stalks which are not “perfect enough to serve au natural, cook in a very little: water and serve with butter sauce, or with a rich, white sauce, adding grated cheese for variety. A few of the white tender leaves may be served scattered over the dish for garnish if desired. Carrots in Parsley Butter—Take eight or ten carrots, wash and scrape, cut into dice or into slices. .Cook in a small quantity of boiling water lightly salted, until tender. Melt one-fourth of a cupful of butter, add one to two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and one tablespoonful of finely minced parsley. Pour over the carrots and serve hot. Carrots and-Apples.—Take six car. rots and six apples (the tart kind), cut carrots into shoestrings and core the unpeeled apples; cut into onefourth-inch slices. Place a layer of apples in a hot frying pan with two tablespoonfuls of sweet fat, cover with the carrots, season with a tablespoon. ful of sugar, salt and cayenne to taste. i” Cook, turning when browned to the other side. Serve on a platter with a layer of each, so that’ the layers may be lifted together. Dandelion Greens.—Wash greens, cut fine with scissors. Place four. taplespoonfuls of bacon fat in a frying pan, add one-fourth cupful of mild vinegar and a teaspoonful of salt. Cover after dropping in the drained . greens, when wilted serve at once, Thunderstorms and Buds There is a common belief that a loud thunderstorm will cause the young buds on trees to grow so rapidly that the difference in the rate of growth Is noticeable even to the casual observer. Scientists do not believe that the noise of loud thunder has any particular influence on the rate of growth either in the plants or the buds. Thunderstorms are usually accompanied by rain, and if the buds come out rapidly The first productions were small jugs which came under the notice of a London firm and which helped develop the business. In 1885, Queen Victoria purchased some of this ware. The designs consisted mainly of follated and bird ornament, of conventional scrolls, flowers, fishes, etc. Originally the colors were only white and red, but later rich combinations of yellow, plue, green and others-were used. The pottery is of ordinary earthenware.
