KENNARD TAXES BOND
 ON OATMAN QUEEN

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner)
 The Oatman-Queen has been bonded to MT. Kennard, a mining promoter and organizer, who is noted for var ious successful fotations and he has gone from Los Angeles on a trip to Denver to finance the property for active operation.
 It was bid for by two syndicates. A strong and likely one was the United Eastern crowd, composed of Mudd, Jackling, Keith, Wiseman and others, but in the course of events some thing coused it to fall to Ken hard, the facts not being in reach of the public at this time.
 The Queen is in the same section as the Pioneer and close to the Para mount, which is one of Arthur Weber's principal groups. There is a surface showing that is attractive.

FEDERAL MIGRATORY
 BIRD LAW PROVISIONS
 ARE GIVEN APPROVAL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Regula- tions for enforcement of the new fed eral migratory bird law have been ap- proved by President Wilson and now are effective. The department of az riculture, however, advises all hunters to consult state laws because the fed eral regulations will not be construed to permit hunting within a state which has created a closed season if that sea son falls within a periOd which the federal government posts as open.
 Shooting is prohibited between sun set and sunrise. Insectivorous birds are protected indefinitely, and no open season is allowed. Band-tailed pigeons, cranes, wood ducks, swans, curlew, willet, upland blower and smaller shore birds are protected everywhere until September l, 1918.

SETTLED A KNOTTY POINT
Professor of Law in Missouri Univer- sity Has Made Somewhat lm-
 portant Decision.

On what day does one become of age?
 This question was suggested by a story in the Missourian which told how couple had to wait 24 hours for a marriage license, because they ap- piled on the day before the prospective brides eighteenth birthday anniver. sary.
 Of course no one thinks of having birthday celebration on any day ex. cept the anniversary, but, according to Manley o. Hudson, professor of law in the university, a persons age changes legally the first instant of the day before the anniversary of his birth. day.
 "The reason" said Professor Hud- son, lis that it is not convenient to count the fractions of a day as would have to be done in case the change were determined by the exact time the person was born. On the day before ones birthday, one has completed an even number of years of life and it is figured that the age changes on that day. .-University Missourian.

Happiest Man in World.

The happiest man in the world lives in Pittsburgh, according to Charles M. Schwab. In other words, MT. Schwab gave cut a name conundrum that not many New Workers could guess, but to which almost any Pittsburgh school boy or girl could give the answer with. out batting an eyelash. Here is the manner in which he conveys his mean. ing without mentioning any names: Tn Pittsburgh is an old friend of mine, an astronomer, who at thirty or forty was known as master of his chosen field. He has hardly any money But I'd give up mine if I could be a su. premely great scientist like that man" MT. Schwab predicated his guessing contest with the statement that riches do not bring wealth, although brains do. You get your real enjoyment out of life if you possess brains, the ability to do productive, creative work" he said.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Philadelphia-A locomotive with a 35-foot smoke stack is being used here for the compression of hay for the al lied armies of Europe. This plant, the first of it's kind, is located on the banks of the Schuylkill river.
 It is another proof of the fact that necessity is the mother of invention. Orders fer 50,000 tons of hay to feed the horses of the allies were received by the owner of the plant, John H. Irving.

CRAFT FOR THE PANHANDLER
War Has Developed New Class, and He Is Making Charity Pay
 Him We'll.

A brand new kind of panhandler has been developed by the European war. He sails the ocean blue. He clusters around the quays of Rotterdam and Southampton. with bandages on his head and on his arms and legs. He shambles and shunts his way into the steerage of the big liners going to America. And on the way over he tells pitiable stories of the frightful suffering the war has brought upon him.
 He starts the telling of his harrow ing tales in the steerage and tells them necessarily, so that finally they get to the ears of the steerage stew ards, then to the ears of the second class, then to the tirst-class stewards and presently the affluent passengers of the upper deck know the stories. And these may be depended upon, with their sympathies thus quickened, to look up the unfortunate and pour lavish charity into his hands.
 The feature of the story of this brand of panhandler that always calls out the biggest flow of gold is when they say they are coming to America to try to build new homes and send for families left half starving in their wrecked native land, but that they are without the wherewithal-the $50 of cash necessary-to permit them to be admitted to the new country They usually get about five times $50 from the wealthy passengers.
