EIGHT POUND REToRT

John Hutchens, manager of the
Roberts lease in the Old Town mine.
shipped to the Denver mint a re-
tort weighing little more than
eight pounds avoidupois. The gold
was from eight cords of dirt from
the Roberts winze in the 1.1O0-foot
level. In addition to the retort there
We're II tons of concentrates that ran
around 3A ounces to the ton. The
ore was treated at the Iron City mill
The winze where the big shoot of
ore exists is 81 feet deep. A drift
has been run from the bottom of the
winz andc 1t is in this drift where
the ore exists. The shoot is ~
feet wide and the iron and mill dirt
are broken together as better results
are had by handling the ore in this
manner.
The Roberts lease is one Of the
biggest and richest ever opened up
In the county and with the immense
ore body to work on there is for
tune in sight for the lessees. The
boys are surely entitled to every cent
they make as they have stayed with
their lease with a bulldog determina-
tion to make it a winner.

wemEN-Aealn- VICTORIOUS

Once more women have demonstra-
ted that they control the purchases
of the family and have shown that
when they combine they can reduce
the cost of living. In Cincinnati the
National Cooperative Housewives
League has brought about a material
reduction in the price of commodities
The housewives fix a maximum price
for certain articles, and when the
middlemen raise the price beyond the
limit fixed the women quit buying
that article. This brings the price
down. In Houston, Texas, the House
wives League thought that the butch
ers were charging too much for meats
so they interviewed a butcher who
had little shop and was doing all
his own work. buying his meats from
the packing houses. He agreed that
Il the women would give him their
patronage he would cut prices. The
women made the contract and, as a
result, this butcher has cut the price
of meats from 25 to Is cents pound
and he now employs a force of sew
enteen. If the women of these two
cities can compel such a reduction
why cannot the women of other COM
munities do likewise? They can if
they will, and by doing the buying
in person instead of by telephone,
the housewives can make cut of
purchase. By collective buying and
through cooperation the women can
absolutely control the markets of the
whole country. They can almost en-
tirely eliminate the middlemen. 1t is
the toll taken by the Intern ediary
agents which increases the cost of
living Woman's National Weekly.

DOLLARS
AT A PREMIUM

The American dollar is now at
premium in. the currencies of every
principal country in Europe. These
currencies, in other words, are now
at discount in terms of the Ameri-
can dollar.
The. premium or tie discount not
only exists and persists. 1t is of ex-
traordinary proportions. At the par
of exchange, $4.S6 will buy one Eng
lish pound sterling. At the prevail
ing quotation in this market only
$3.50 will buy a. pound sterling. Ordi-
narily 95 cents will buy four German
marks. Now less than "a cents will
buy four marks. Ordinarily an Ameri-
can dollar will buy in this market
5.19 Italian lire. Now a dollar will
buy as much as 5.75 lire.
International trade for years with
out number has been financed through
London. Credit in English pounds
sterling has been the worlds COM
merce. This is now turning to New
York, and in terms of the dollar.
The scramble for American dollars
or American credit is practically uni
versal and has become acute. To get
either, the belligerent and other peo
pies are offering UNI card of prices in
their own money. They do not want
the dollars to take away. They want
them here and to be spent here. I'm
able or unwilling to send their own
gold in payment of t, e enormous pur-
chases made to supply their way and
other needs, they are willing to sac
rifice great sums of money in substi-
tuting promises to pay gold later on.
During January alone they took
from the United States s145, 800, 900
worth of goods above what were paid
After making all allowances for our
current invisible Indebtedness abroad
this represents an accumulation of
American credit against the outside
world at the rate Of over a billion
dollars year. 1t represents a contin-
ued and unprecedented command of
the worlds exchanges from New
York, an increasingly powerful ten
dency from sterling to dollar exchange
in settlement of the worlds trade
balances.
We have suffered much from Eur
ope's self-inflicted miseries, and the
fact has not been ignored. The ad-
vantages which have been forced up
on US are no more to be ignored. The
financial center of the world, remote
ly following the westward course of
empire. has been given tremendous
push in this direction within "a few
months. 1t remains for Americans,
through liberalized policies OF trade
and finance, to see that this financial
center stays where the great war has
planted it.-New York World.

LOCAL PAPERS IMPORTANCE

Erie w. Allen, head of the depart
ment OF Journalism in the state uni
versity of Oregon, in addressing the
citizens of Glendale, Oregon, on the
subject, THE Newspaper in Your
Town." said:
advertising in the country paper
is the best investment country
merchant can make. The merchants IS
advertising should be news. 1t should
tell something very definite about
what the store offers and the copy
should be changed often. The adver-
tising columns should be made as in
teresting as any other part of the
paper and the merchants 'ad' should
appear with the same regularity as
the editors news. An advertisement
in the local newspaper is by no means
charity. 1t brings big returns: first
in the direct business when it is
handled with a little common sense;
second in building up the community
'The paper should be made as i'm

ment and prosperity as the school.
The great problem of the small town
in these days of Capitalization and
parcel post is to make itself a good
place to live in and a pleasant place
for the country people to come to. II
it dosen't do that it is doomed to
disappear
No town should be so short sight
ed as not to give every encourage
ment to the man who is trying to
make newspaper there. He is in one
sense the important citizen. He can
do more for the town than any other
one man. He should be backed UP
in his efforts to do business at bust
ness prices and in business way. 1t
would be just as sensible for you to
let your schools run down as to let
your newspaper run down"

DYING OF HUNGER

st. Louis. March 7.-"Half the popu

are dying OF hunger and many others

face starvation" declared letter
written in Mexico City February "a
and received here today. The let

Mexico City. 1t Continued:
Everybody here is suffering. The
whole city is unsanitary as We have
been without water for a long time.
The streets have not been cleaned
for months. No foodstuffs are being
brought to the city. 1t seems that
they are trying to starve us out and
they surely are succeeding.
Il have not eaten of bread for
three days and cannot get flour to
make 1t. Even tortillas and cornmeal
cannot be had. No one seems to know
what to do. Most of the people here
Rave to stand whatever happens as
they have no money"

To Overcome
 Nervous Dyspepsia
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE

Nervous people, as rule, suffer greatly from dyspepsia The minute things go wrong, or something upsets the nerves, or they are tired and over worked, they feel it in their stomach. Appetite vanishes and gives way to dull, dread uneasiness, and what they do eat doesn't digest properly. Then comes belching, heart burn, sour ris ing, and whole train of distressing symptoms.
 Nervous Dyspepsia should never be treated with pepsin pills or artificial digestents. The stomach is a sen sitive organ, and the nerves that con- trol it should at such time, be calmed and strengthened, when all stomach distress will quickly cease, appetite will return, and the stomach will digest it's food properly, ana as nature intended.
 Thanks to a remarkable chemical discovery, it is now posslple to leeo the nerve cells with the exact stimulus they require when OVerWorked and unstrung. and a preparation called Margo is producing remarkable re- suits in the treatment of Nervous Dys- pepsia and other nerve disorders. It makes a remarkable change in any person in ten minutes by the watch, strengthening the stomach and charg- ing the nerve cells with strength, boise power and tremendous reserve energy. and giving nerves of steel clear head and brain, courage, power, quick wit and real vital vim. Margo cannot harm anyone. It contains no dope or dangerous habit forming drugs. Forty tablets come in large package, and this is enough to give lasting relief to even the most obsti- nate cases.
 The Clark & Brainerd Co.,, New Britain, Conn.,, and other leading druggists everywhere are selling them with a positive guarantee of satisfac- tion, or money back.

Berlin News PERRETTE CASE IS SETTLED AT LAST 
Judge GrisWold Finds KenSington Cobbler Guilty Of Theft
ACCUSED TAKES APPEAL
Mrs. Venture Still Niissing-ltallan Laborer Assessed $3 and Costs for Assault-Professor Nourse Gives Able Talk at Literary Meeting.

The twice adjourned case of James Pcrrette, the Kensington cobbler, charged with theft was definitely dis posed of as far as the local court -s concerned, this morning. Two weeks ago, Perrette claimed he was innocent of willfully taking some of Felix Ven- turos's household articles. At that time the accused had no witnesses so Judge Giiswold gave him some time to bring them to court. Perrette could offer no excuse this morning and the judge, after Prosecutor Gibney's sum- ming up, found him guilty and as- sessed a fine of $7 and costs. Perrette appealed and bonds were placed at $50. Carmine Perrette, who said he was related to the accused in the third degree" furnished bond for the cobbler's appearance at the De- cember term of superior court.
 Tn presenting the states case, Prose- cutor Gibney said the prisoner had the attitude of a guilty man all the time since the case started. At first Per- 1ette told the sheriff everything in his shop belonged to him but later when some articles of women's clothing we're found, he claimed they were the property of his brothers S wife. The prosecutor felt the man was lying con- stantly and that the court had been very lenient in allowing him extra time to produce any witnesses. He evidently made no effort to do so. for he-had spent the interim between this and the last session of court at his shop in KensingtOn. MT. Gibney then L asked that the accused be committed Co jail, if d suitable bond was not fled. Judge Griswold accepted the bond, however, and the last phase of the case will take place in Hartford in December
