 The carload shipment settled TOT was the twenty-third carload shipment sent from the property since the les sees began operating on it. The ore is being broken in the drifts to the southwest and northwest off the 1Oo foot level of the incline shaft. It oc- CUTS in contact deposit lying be- tween the granite and the limestone formation.
 The main shaft has been sunk on an incline to a depth of about 22O rect and there is said to be in the neigh borhood of 1000 tons of ore in sight Above the 100 foot point in the smart the ore carries copper and silver values. with gold values ranging from 40 cents to as high as $6 and ST to the ton.

 A parallel vein has been opened at, a point on the surface about 19O feet up the mount side from the main shaft. in which a body of ore has been encountered that is about six feet in width. It is practically the same class of ore that is being mined in the main workings, with the values in gold, sil- yer and copper.

 Very little time was spent in mak- ing the appointments and announcing the assignments of the new men. Fol lowing the appointments all the new men who were present were addressed by Chief Daniel p. Johnson of the fire department. He said:
 Keep your eyes open and your mouths shut and you will avoid trou-l ble. Treat me as treat you and we vyal get along nicely. You will find the life of a fireman different from the. life you have been living. You must look out for yourselves at all times. You have been appointed to life jobs providing you attend to your duties properly. It is up to you to make good, You owe the commissioners for your present positions and it us up to bring discredit on yourselves or give them cause to feel ashamed of having appointed you-''
 President Leonard said: "This is sound advice the chief has given you. Follow it and you will never be in trouble You are a likely lot of men and feel we have made mo mistake aim to keep after the chiefs job.

The young man lives near Cedar

with which to begin his drove. He
has about a dozen of them on hand
now, and has killed a few and skinned
them. A large wire pen serves as the

Although Mt first one might think
this would be an aromatic business
It is a well-known fact that after be-

NEW HOUSEWIFE SCHEME.

Balanced Rationsi You've heard
of them until you have grown tired Of
the sound, perhaps. Yet all the time
you thought they were for dairy cows
or for cattle on full feed. Balanced
rations for the family will be discuss
ed by the department of home econ
omics of the University of Missouri
Farmers Week, January 8 to z, at
Columbia.
Balancing? the family ration, the
home economics teachers say, helps
make the food appetizing and digest
ible, gives each member of the fam
lily what he needs and gives the one
who pays the bills the most for his
money. What to prepare for each
meal will be shown to be important,
as well as how to prepare it.
Plans for each Of the three meals
Of the day and how to prepare and
serve them will be explained. Sample
menus and practical demonstrations of
each meal will be shown. The method
Of reducing meat costs, emphasizing
the use Of substitutes, such as milk.
cheese, eggs, beans, nuts and grains.
and the way to cook meat will be ex.
planned.
The efficient kitchen will be discus
sed. Labor-saving devices for the
housewife and convenient arrange
laent Of kitchen utensils will be the
means advocated.
How to prepare school lunches will
be told by Miss Babb Bell. The kind
Of lunch to be carried, the kind Of
.container, the method Of packing and
proper food for school children will be
illustrated.
The feeding of the baby will be
explained, as well as the feeding Of
Older members Of the family. There
will be a demonstration of the prac-
acal method of determining the a.
Of artificial food necessary for
the baby. The amount Of food needed
"li be based on the weight Of the
baby, and calculations Of the amount
needed will be illustrated. The nee
esSary utensils and the best types of
FEEDING supplies viii be shown.

THERE need not be any tramps
this year anywhere, especially IN Mex
leo where lsbOr IS being advertise fer
BY both the bri-k pant and the shoe
factory.
A tramp told one Of cur citizens
last week that he would not w0rk for
$3.50 a day. Why Of course not He
can beg without WORK Nox those
who want 70 pamper and pet the
trzmps and buns have a rght to do

people who would rather give their
money to organized charity 70 look
after the needy home people, and ask
that the tEamps and Migrants be made
to rove On, have q right to Dc as they
please also without any criticism.
Some q these noble women that we
hear so much about VINO are so an
xiOus to make pets Of the trsnps. are
liable to get the worst Of It if they
are not careful. A week or 50 ago, a
couple Of insulting tramps IN south
Mexico were going 10 make the wonen
folks heat their coffee a little hotter.
and were not exactly pleased with
the menu as served. A $3.50 fine put
them Ia q different frame Of mind.
The following experience with a
tramp IN Jefferson City, taken from
Thursdays Tribune, will be Of inter-
est along this line. If you want to
take your chance and look after

Just get a gun or telephone the police.
There is plenty Of work for those who

"A tramp entered the home Of Mrs.
o. E. Yoppes at 10 West Miller street
this morning and was given as chilly
a reception as the Ford peace party
in Europe. He did not like 1t and IN
sisted that Mrs. Yoppes give him
money. She said all right and went
into the next room and procured a re-

Baltimore, Md. Dec. sO.-Henrv
GolabOwskl was indignant when JUS
tice Smith fined him s1IA5 for beat
ing and choking Mollie Asher on the
street. Miss Asher, whose story was
corroborated by Miss Smith, said that
they were on their way to a picture

and ordered her to 60 with him. When
she refused he attacked her, she tes-
lifted, choking her and throwing her
against a doorstep.
Golabowski said he had been keen.

years, and supposed he was engaged

THE RAILROADS DE-
SERVE FAIR TREATMENT


SUPT. W. NJ. CORBETT of the
Alton Railroad, who is so we'll and
fayorably known in Mexico had a
little talk the other day with the edi-
tor of the Armstrong, Mo-, Herald re-
garding the elimination Of saloons
and fair treatment that railroads de-
serve at the hands of the public gen
orally"
Referring to this interview, the
Armstrong Herald editorially says:
"Mr. w. NJ. Corbett, S%uperinten-
dent of the Western Division Of the
Alton remarked to US the cbe- DAY
while in Slater: Slater is a much
better and cleaner town than it was
when the saloons were here, and they
are out Of here for all time to come;
and in fact / believe in ten years time
there won't be a saloon left in the
state; and if some Of the demagagues
in public life could be eliminated and
the railroads given a fair and square
deal-give them what they justly de-
serve, and nothing more, we would
have a better state Of affairs all the
way down the line. You can't expect
people to put money into railway con-
struetion, and then have your law
makers arbitrarily fix a rate for SER
vice that will not allow the investors

way construction. Until you deal
justly with the railroads there will
be no railroad construction in

ORDER AGAINST ENLESS
CHAIN PRAYER LETTERS

Philip Sopp, Postmaster Of Belle
vile, has issued an order to all clerks
handling mail to watch for postal
cards bearing an "endless chain
prayer" Of which hundreds Of copies
have lately been sent to residents Of
Belleyille. The cards and the mes
sage which usually accompanies them,
win not be delivered TO the persons TO
whom they are addressed. Many Of
these letters have been received in
Mexico recently.
The Postmaster said he took this
action at the request of a leading
physician, who complained that the
threat Of misfortune to those who
should not strictly fulfill the condition
accompanying the prayer had affected
the nerves Of some persons, and in
certain cases had almost caused de-
mentia.
The contents of the postal card, in
the form generally received in Belle
vile and Mexico are as follows:
@Lord, bless all mankind. Keep
them from evil Take them to
dwell with Thee eternally."
This was sent to me, and is be-
ing sent the world over. Copy it,
sign your name and send to nine
friends, and see what it will do for
you.
1t was said in the time of Christ
that all who wrote this prayer
would be lightened of some great
calamity, but those who do not
viii suffer some great misfortune.
Commence the day you get this,
pass it on for nine days, and the
tenth you will receive some great
joy. Do not break the chain.
A FRIEND.
The Postmaster said he could deal
only with postal cards. II the prayer
is mailed in a sealed letter, bearing
a two-cent stamp, he will have no
right to interfere with it.

THERE is no question but what
this country is becoming more pros
porous than eve before in its his
tory. Not only big business but little
business is booming; and not only
that but business is getting on a
most substantial basis.
Along this line Dunn's Review, one
Of the most reliable financial papers
published in the world, prints the
following editorial which will be of
interest to all Of our readers:
with cross currents diminishing
in force, the tide of business is rails
ing at an accelerated pace and an era
Of widespread activity is in prospect.
Usually during a transition period
gains IN recorded slowly, but strict

Of discernment, and of late industrial
expansion has been phenomenally
rapid. Reports from nearly all sec
tons OF the country tell of the an
checked growth of new enterprise,
which, while manifest in varying de-
grees in different lines and localities,
is everywhere stimulated by the ex-
eeptional strength of the fundamen-
tai situation. Assurance of agricul-
tural success, together with almost
unlimited financial resources, has
given the commercial world the con-
fdence essential. to the development
Of national prosperity, and the not
able improvement in sentiment, and
change of spirit, is now more clearly
reflected in the volume Of current
transactions. The latter, with few
exceptions, are steadily enlarging, as
is evidenced by the comparisons Of
bank clearings, railroad earnings,
commodity prices, untitled steel ton
mage, idle freight cars and other
statistical barometers. II is not mere
speculation or hope that starts many
wheels revolving in iron and steel af-
ter an idleness of several years, but
a rush Of actual orders that is taxing
the capacity of mills and furnaces to
the utmost. With operations in the
great basic industry on a scale sell

working forces are imperative and
the increase in the number Of men at
work a a broadening of con-
rumptiVe requirements. This puts
more money in circulation and until
nately benefits all branches of bus

pleted stocks, making collections more

Queer to consumer, is further stimu-
lated by seasonable weather and in

MR. FoRDs QUAR-


If we read IN Revelation that there
was war in heaven. why, in the name
Of all that IL reasonable and eharzet-
eFistse, should there not be q fight
On Henry Ford's peace ship? The
pilgrims who accompanied that en-
thuzizsfie person 70 Europe at his
expense may have been agreed upon
two points, but no others. They ap-
proved Unznimousiy his purpose TO

To Be ia favor q peace Is like be-
ing IN faToE Of righteousness. Ev-
erything depends upon the definition
and the method Of procedure Mr..
Ford's party has fallen out over the
question Of preparedness. Some Of
the brethren believe that the surest
way to preserve peace is to be mighty
in defense. Others insist that even
the possession Of arms is contrary TO
peaceful principles.
Whatever the fate Of this strange
expedition may be, neither blame nor
ridicule should attach to it becauce Of
these differences. One Of the easiest
things in this cantankerous world is
to accept general principles. One Of
the most difficult Of human enterpris-
es is to persuade even the wise, the
just and the generous to act harmon
iousIy in pursuit Of the most desir-
able end.
Mr.. Ford's guests are not angels
and even If they were they might
have fought, as did those revealed to
st. John, for Michael or for the dragon
as they chose to align themselves.
Being only human and agreed upon
nothing but peace and free transpor-
t~ation, they quarrel as to the next
step as the matter Of course-New
