The Mines.

Drawing largely upon the re-
serve stocks of ore, the purchas-
ers last week prevented the ship
ment from going under 1000
tons, which was generally be-
lieved to be the record of the pro-
duction attained at the end of
the first fortnight of the shut
down movement. Even with the
aid of the reserve stock, the to-
tai tonnage moved was but a
trif1e over 1000 tons. Should
the operators continue the CAM
paign for higher prices for an
other fortnight it is thought that
the showing this week and that
following will easily become the
lowest in proportion to be wit
messed in the entire history of
the mining industry in the Jop-
lin field.
Eastern market centerS declare
that providing the SHUTDOWN Is
continued for a few weeks the
output of the finished metal is
sure to be curtailed.
In the small tonnage of zinc
moved the range of prices was
S45 to S4S. The calamine sales,
which were less that 200 tons,
were moved on a range of SIS
to S2S.
The lead ore shipments were a
trifle heavier than expected, tho
somewhat under the normal
weekly allotment. The price for
this ore remains unchanged,
that of $51 to S54.

Fred Browning, who has been
manager of Hoods in this city,
for the past year, has gone to
Miami to take charge of the
big Hood store there. While
here Mr.. Browning made large
number of friends, and will do
the same thing in Miami, for he
is a hustler, a fine fellow, a good

The big opening is bound to
result in lot of good to the
farming community, and if this
is true, of course US town folks
will share in the ultimate distri-
button of the good things.
The lectures made by Mr..
Graves, the buggy man of the
John Deere company; by Mr..
Weatherford, the silo man of the
same company; by Mr.. Hall, who
sells everything in the way of
John Deere implements; by Mr..
Prentice of the Spalding Deep
Tiller; By Mr.. Jordan for the In
ternational, were all of peculiar
interest, and we could not help
but notice the faces of our
farmer friends as those speakers
we're telling how more money
could be made by scientific farm
ing. Many of them, we could
tell, by the facial expressions,
made up their minds to Go
thou, and do likewise"
And while we are on this sub
ject we want to remark that the
lectures were not made by mere
theorists. Every one of the gen.
tlemen has farmed, and some of
them are at it yet. They dwelt
on practical things. They did
not tell what might be done, but
told what CAN be done. They
talked from practical experience,
not from factory literature.
Hoods are to be congratulated
on the grand success of the open
ing. We expect the firm to give
another opening this fall. The
visiting farmers say that Tom
Sheldon, the new manager, is a
live wire. And they say the
same thing about Fred Brown
ing, who has taken charge of
the Hood store at Miami. But
Ed. Hood will not have any
other kind of men about him.

No More Gray Hair
Try This Simple Home Made
Preparation on the Whitened
Locks

"Silver Threads" may be cap
able of inspiring the song writ
ers, but they are anything but
inspiring to men and women who
find them coming in their own
locks, thus announcing the ap-
proach of age. These footprints
of Time" however, may be read
lily covered up by using a simple
inexpensive formula, which can be
prepared privately in your own
home. You can get from any
druggist at little cost an ounce of
bay rum, a quarter ounce of
glycerine and a small box of Bar
DO Compound; then dissolve the
Barbo Compound in ounces of
water, add the other two ingredi-
ents and you will have a prepare
ton that cannot be excelled for
darkening gray hair, removing
dandruff, correcting humors of
the scalp and invigorating the hair
follicles. 1t does not make the
hair sticky, does not rub off or
color the scalp. 1t is equally as
good to darken the beard as the
hair. There is no other ingredi-
ent that can take the place of
Barbo Compound in this recipe, so
If your druggist is out of it ask
him to order 1t from his whole
saler for you.

You cannot pick up a paper or
magazine nowadays without read
ing some foolishness about the
duties of woman. The average
writer does not feel called upon
to explain just what mans are,
but he has very well defined
ideas that a woman's duties clus-
ter about the home first, last and
all the time.
1t seems as though both men
and women might realize that ma
ture recognizes no difference be-
tween the sexes. The child is
born just a human being, en-
dowed with more or less brain
and more or less physique, as the
case may be, but from the time
the baby is put into its mothers
arms, its sex determines its edu-
cation and environment.
Convention says to the Wom-
an, "Act"; to the man, BE"
A girl must not do this and she
must do that, not because it is
or is not sensible, but because it
is considered the conventional
womanly thing to do. She must
be taught to simulate the ac-
cepted idea of modesty, while If
a mother rightly understood her

And every woman in the land

"Swim!"
Swim to beauty! Fat or

And l will explain why-and tell
how it brought to my body the
acclaim of being an absolute re-
production of the masterpiece of

Madeleine Berlo is by no

velous grace-her ability to ac-

God-given perfection of limb and

because ii calls into active play
EVERY muscle, every organ of
the body. 1t makes every par
ticle of the physical being work.
Some of these, at first, will be
rusty from long discuse, but they
will improve with each new eff
fort. The attainment of the per-
feet figure is merely the inevi-
table result of the continuance
of such exercise.
ut is like the sum of a diff
cult mathematical problem it

life's work, she would know that
real modesty cannot be taught; it
is an instinct that comes from the
instilling of high principals, and
these are as great necessity for
a man as for a woman.
Women are not of any finer
clay than men. Look in any big
assemblage of women, and you
will find the same political trick
cry and deceit that you see in a
similar gathering of men.
There are good men and good
women, and there are bad men
and bad women.
Human nature is just the same
in either feminine or masculine
form, and there are women that
are no more fitted to be mothers
and homemakers than are some
men to know the constraint of
wife and child.
Women need no more advice
and admonition on the business
of living than do men. They
generally find their level, and
the physical ability to bear chill
dren does not assure the attain
ment of real motherhood.
One woman may make a botch
of bringing up the large family
she brings into the world, while
another woman, whose barren
arms clasp only empty air, would
mother with love divine the whole
suffering universe.

HERE'S THE
HISTORY OF
WEDDING RING

For ages the wedding ring has
been a token of binding authority.
The gold symbolizes the purity of
affection; the circle. the endless
love; the price paid for 1t takes
the place of the ancient purchase
money.
IL the ring is lost, IL Is a warn
ing that the husbands love will
soon pass away; II broken that he.
will die soon.
Tradition has been responsible
for many stories concerning the
wedding ring; one of these Is that
the first ring was made by Tubal
Cain for Prometheus. This ring
was of iron and adamant, the iron
signifying lastingness and the
adamant perfect concord.
The early Romans commonly
used a plain iron ring, while the
poorer English, even in the nine
teenth century, used the ring for
the church keys.
1t has not always been GUS
tomary to wear the ring on the
third finger of the left hand, but
there is a reason for this modern
convention. Besides being less
used and therefore less exposed
to danger, and being the weaker
finger and therefore symbolizing
the wife's dependence, the third
finger of the left hand has been
supposed, from the days of the
Egyptians. to be connected di-
rectly with the heart by a vein
called the "vena amoris."
