Ravages of the Boll

Special to the Daily Kxpret.s.
Washington Jan. 12. The boll wee-
vil has caused a loss in the production
of cotton iu the United States in ex-
cess of Oii(n;() bales which at a
vlue of only $50 a bale represents a
total loss or $:uOtRQOo;.. Tliis is only
the lo;i in areas actually planted. The
I eduction in the production of cotton
due to the fact that farmers refrained
Irom planting because of the fear that
the weevil would not allow the plant
to mature can never be estimated
Tlies and other interesting facts
and statistics concerning the boll wee-
vil are given in a little pocket panipn-

WORLD'S LARGEST IRON MINE !
Enormous Supply of Rich 0r It Lc- j
Cuted at Kiruna Lap- i
land. '
The richest and probably the largest
iron ore mine in the world is located
at Kiruna Lapland in latitude S'a de-
grees north which is about the same
as the northernmost boundary of
Alaska. The climate is somewhat
milder than in Alaska and these
mines are worked the year around.
About 1.000 men are employed and
ihe equipment is all of the most mod-
ern machinery obtainable. Machine
tools for the repair shop air com-
pressors and rock drills and sev-
eral of the largest steam and electric
shovels are of American make. The
plant is at present operated by steam
power the coal supply doming from
England and Spitsbergen but the
electrification of the mines is in
progress and this power will be used
exclusively as soon as the new power
plant of the state of Sweden now
under construction at Porjus Tails
ia completed. The transmission line
is completed and it is expected that
the power station will be ready to de-
liver current early in 1914. One hun-
dred and fifty thousand horsepower
will be the capacity of this fetation
and It will be transmitted over a dis-
tance of l.0 miles. The state railway
between Kiruna and Narvik la being
electrified arid will be operated from
this station. The ore ib shipped from
Kiruna to N'aifik on the Norwegian
coast by rail and from there by water
to Germany a small percentage find-
ing its way to other countries.
' Many Good Bargains Left
BOOSTED UP THE PRICE :
When You Come to Think of It the
Article Wit Worth the In-
creased Amount
Hot and stuffy was the auction-
room and packed too yes even
packed to its utmost capacity.
Suddenly through the crowd pressed
a large important-looking person and
held converse with the auctioneer-
converse low deep and awe-inspiring.
Then up spake the auctioneer to the
multitude assembled:.
'Uentlei.ien" he said "I am Inform-
ed that a pocketbook. has beeu lost
iu this ball tonight ecutainlng 200
in bank notes."
A great hush fell upon the assembly.
"Ves" continued the custodian of
the hammer "and owing to other val-
uable documents it contains the gen-
tleman will offer 50 to anyone who
returns it while no questions will be
asked."
Again a Bilence deep and unbroken.
Then a fellow at tho rear of tho
hall spoke up:
"I bid 51" be said. Answers.
We will still offer many bargains in Winter
Goods. Sale prices on many lots of
goods will continue.
JUST A WORD
On account of the delay in the settling of the
styles on Ladies' Suits Coats and Dresses
the manufacturers. of the better lines have
not had time to make up and deliver their
Spring Merchandise yet. But don't get ex-
cited we will have the new things long be-
fore the song bird warbles its first spring

the RIGHT STYLES
Because It Was Underweight.
Under the pure iod and drugs act
ten cases were recently brought
against a New York city firm which
is in the candy business making a
specialty of what is known as "penny
goods." All the goods were found to
be adulterated. .Most of them con-
tained shellac and some of ihem also
contained arsenic. In every case the
lirm pleaded guilty. Most of the can-
dies were sold as chocolate candies
but contained little or none of that
product. These are the goods bought
by small children who have received
a cent or two from parents or friends.

AN.. APPEAL
Do you want our store to continue m
Chii kasha? We have put in five years
of hard work here trying to give u first
sometimes intended for the missionary !c1aR8 Mere ar.d to personally help build
box but often straying to the candy
shop in only one of the ten cases
was a penalty Imposed and in this
case carrying a fine of $r0 was not
for selling o little children as choco-
late candy a mixture containing arse-
nic and shellac but because the pack-
age sold to the dealer was marked
five pounds and really contained only
4 pounds and 14si ounces not enough
poison for the money! Truly in the
words of Mr. liuuible the law some-
times is "an ass"
Mackintoshes Expensive to Make.
Mackintoshes are made of cloth
coated with rubber. It is ninety years
since Charles Mackintosh of (llasgo
iook out his patent for the cloth that
lias ever s'neo borne his name. The
mackintosh ts a ir.oie expensive gar-
ment than the raincoat because of the
high cost cf the materials employed.
The rubber used has first to be puri-
fied by maceration in water at an ex-
pense pi oport Somite to the amount of
isnpurity present and it has then to
a cleaner and better town and have
enjoyed a fairly good business bin
not enough to keep us from falling
behind. Our creditors have been ver)
kind to us but we are new where we
must either pay them or turn stock
over to them.
We are anxious to continue hero
and do not wish to have to turn stock
c-Vor to our creditors for several rea-
sMis first we will of course lore all
cf cur equity in It second at forced
sab' no Hiock will eter bring what it
is worth so it would mean a loss to
my creditors; and third every failure
i'.i a town hurts the general business
so we are just putting the plain truih
ui to the people of Chirkaslia and ask
that at no loss or expense to them that
ihey come to our rescue no-. If for
the next ten days one huudre' people
w ill come to our store each day and
f.pmd $l.to we can pay cut and eai h
I.e will get full vi.lue for their mciiev.
AND AGAIN YOU'RE
OUT OF COAL?
Perhaps the last you had was not entirely satisfac-
tory. It smoked and threw off a gassy smell
that almost drove you from the house. If so
you didn't get it from us; but to avoid such
things order a ton of OUR COAL today.
