respondent that there are other ap-
preaching weddings in this vicinity

day. In fact we will go so far as to
say that there may be a wedding to
report in this column next week.

A Candidate For Treasurer
Marceline Journal-Mirror.

Marceline Journal-Mirror.
Mrs. Flo Carr, principal of the
Park school building, in this city,
has yielded to the solicitation of
her friends it is understood, and
will be a candidate for the republi-
can nomination for county treas
urer. The present treasurer is
Mrs. Ruth Hayes, a very worthy
lady, whose nomination upon the
democratic ticket is conceded. The
republicans who it seems will be
more than usually aggressive in
county politics this year have
selected Mrs. Carr as a worthy
opponent for the incumbent, and
one likely to poll the full republi-
can vote. Mrs. Carr has a wide
throughout the cOun-
ty, and is we'll qualified for the
position. The race will be most
interesting.

LacIede Bakery

Laclede is now eating home
made bread, that is, bread made in
Laclede. Mr.. Jamlson opened his
new bakery Monday and put his
first batch on sale that day. 1t
will be known as the Laclede
Bakery. The product was good
but the baker informs us it will be
better when he gets the new oven
regulated and everything in more
perfect working order. There will
be no bread shipped in now. all
places in town where bread is sold
are handling the Laclede baked.
In addition to supplying home con-
sumption the Laclede bakery will
ship to other towns, baskets having
been shipped south Tuesday after
noon. In taking hold of the pro-
duets of the Laclede bakery the
local merchants are certainly show
ing the right spirit towards the
new industry and practicing what
they preach about patronizing home
first. We predict good business
for the Laclede bakery.

Thieves are getting hard pressed
for booty when they break a lock
to secure what little brass there is
connected with stock scales. But
that is what they did recently and
took the brass beam and slides
from the stock yard scales owned |
by J. W. Power & Son. AS junk |
the brass they secured would pro-
baby bring about a dollar yet if |
caught and punished they could be
sent to the penitentia1y. There is
a reward for information that will
lead to the arrest and conviction of
the thief.
The most despisabIe scoundrel
we know of is the fellow who
sneaks around after night and
places a lighted match under
found displayed in
'ront of the business houses.
Several valuable instruments have
oeen blown up and ruined by this
method which is a malicious des-
ruction of property and there is
10 punishment too severe for the
Iirty mongrel if he could be caught.
7he only regret is they do not dis
igure the scamp when they explode

Local Man Returns with Good News of Successful Mining Deal and of Grow ing Strength of Hughes in Middle West

T had a very successful trip. I have arranged for financing the North Maricopa mine. What is bet ter yet there is plenty of reserve capital to finance other good prop ositions in the district. Phoenix will soon have wished upon it a state of mining prosperity which it has long neglected. While local people have been asleep to the great opportuni- tis of the Winnefred district, those at distance have grasped the op- portunity. It was agreed by the financial leaders of Kansas City that ours was the best proposition ever presented there. I would have got ten through several weeks ago had it not been for the fact that some of the principal members of the syndi- cate were absent from the city on vacation.
 The booming cities of the west to- day, are those which have grasped the opportunity to take wealth from the ground. Joplin has seen zinc and lead; Tulsa has seen oil; Denver has seen Cripple Creek and the Tung- sten mines, and Kansas City has made money put of all these.
 While there are no details for publication as to the men or the plans involved in the successful operation of tte North Maricopa Company, it will be sufficient to say that they are of the character and of the class which will do great credit to this

MANGANESE ORES SHORT;CR|PPLES
 OUR INDUSTRIES
Especial to The Republican,

BISBIE, Ariz, Sept. 21-A further of the chemical indus tries and the paint and dye manufac- turing interests of the country, due to a lack of manganese ores, was pre- dicted here today during convention session of the American Institute of Mining Engneers, which is meeting in Arizona throughout this week This statement was contained in a paper by E. C. Harder, of the L. s. Geologi- cal survey, presented to the institute members for discussion.
 MT. Harder's treatise explained that even at the beginning of the European war there had been a great decrease in imports of both ores and alloys of manganese and that since 1914 the price had risen from $37 per ton to S1OO per ton with ferro-manganese selling considerably higher.
 Said MT. Harder, "The situation in the United States, at the present time regarding the supply of manganese ores and alloys of manganese is one of great seriousness and is likely to be- come increasingly so while the Euro pean war continues. The dependence of the country upon foreign countries for this supply is being forcibly indi- cated."
 Another feature or the mining engi- neers session was the statement in a paper by David B. Roger, of the West Virginia Geological survey, to the effect that "the exhaustion of oil and gas ir the United States is proceeding al rapid pace" MT. Roger predicated that this problem will first be par tially solved by the securing of deeper producing horizons in the high grade oil regions and later by the possibility of mining deep sand oil and gas Other papers attracting considerable ! attention of the delegates were The Geology of the Warren mining district | by Y. Bontillas, J. B. Penney and Leor
 Feuchers; Cooperative Effort in Min. l ing, by Joseph P. Hodgson, and Colo
 and Silver Deposits in North and SoutI
 America, by Waldemar Lindgren. In this last paper Dr. Lindgrel
 stated the conclusion that the Soutl
 American mineral resources in preci
 ous metals are less than those of tn
 northern continent and that "eve, progress and enterprise will be unabl
 to raise it's production to approacl
