Dealers Must Obey the Law.

Gasoline and kerosene dealers must
strictly comply with the law requiring
the posting of placards showing the
gravity and burning tests of such pro-
ducts, State Oil Inspector B. N. Moran
said. He recently made an investiga-
ton in Milwaukee and several other
cities in the state and found that some
dealers were not fully complying with
the law.
Owing to the present high price of
gasoline many dealers are carrying low
test gasoline, which has a gravity of
SO or so degrees, and have discontinued
carrying so-called high test, which has
a gravity of 68 or 70 degrees, but they
have neglected to take down their high
test placards and post cards showing
the actual test of the gasoline they
sell. AS result many buyers think
they are getting high test gasoline
when in fact they are getting low test
gasoline. State Inspector Moran says
he is preparing to prosecute dealers
who are not fully complying with the
law.

IHOMtAO L OO4NOO1Ns
Thomas F. Condor, born in Edger-
ton, June %, 1872, died at his home in
Porter, Friday evening, May 26, 1916.
Last February he underwent an opera
ton at Mercy hospital which was not
thought to be serious and for short
time he seemed to improve. but the
Heavenly Father who does all things
we'll did not see fit to leave him with
his loved ones, as he gradually grew
weaker and all that medical skill and
loving hands could do was of no avail
For four months he suffered patient
ly but always with the hope that he
might be we'll again and left with those
who loved him, until few moments
before the end came he said: cit is
hard to leave but Gods will be done. :"
He was faithful member of the T.
A. & B. society since boyhood and was
a man of good principles, kind hus-
band and loving father, and will be
greatly missed not only in his own home
but by his neighbors and friends as he
was ever thoughtful of others, always
ready to do an act of kindness and was
a friend to everyone.
He leaves to mourn his loss wife
and four children, Frances aged II,
Robert, 13, Goldie, IL, and Harold, To-;
also mother and four brothers and
two sisters-John of the town of JAMES,

Supreme Court Decides Albion Case.

The supreme court has lately handed
down decision in the case of town of
Albion farmers involving the compen-
sation law. Henry Kelley and Elmer
Thronson, respondents, VS.. Elmer Hay
lock and the Industrial Commission.
The circuit court set aside the award
of the commission and the supreme
court now affirms that judgment. In
this case the question of casual versus
permanent employment is considered.
The two defendants are farmers and
Kelley in addition operated silo filler.
On the day in question he was filling
the silo of Thomson. Haylock was an
employee of Kelley. Thronson did not
employ four Or more men on his farm
except at threshing and other special
times. The commission found that be-
cause both Kelley and Thronson did
employ more than four men at times
they came under the compensation act.
By the court: The act oper-
ated upon and was intended to include
only such employers as ordinarily or
for some length of time employ four or
more employees in common employ
ment. The operation of the act
as to the employer is limited to the
usual rather than to the usual condition
of business trade or occupation. 80

Memorial Day Observance.

The day set apart to perpetuate the
memories of the dead heroes of the
civil war was favored with typical mid
summer weather and it's observance in
Edgerton, in charge of the G. A. r.
and w. R. c., will rank with those of
other years though the ranks of the old
soldiers as they passed in parade are
thinning very rapidly. At 80 o'clock
the few remnants of the H. S. Swift
Post, the w. R. c., the Spanish war
veterans were escorted from the Post
hall by the Edgerton band to Majestic
theater where the exercises were held
in accordance with the program an
nounced in this paper last week. Prof.
Holt delivered a polished, scholarly adj
dress, brimfull of patriotism, spoken
without notes, that was listened to
with rapt attention, from which we
make few quotations.:
81 know how vain it is in nineteen
hundred and sixteen for me to tell you,
the heroes Of those four awful years of
61-65, what homage we recognize as
your due for the sacrifices which you
and your comrades who have already
pitched their tents on flames eternal
camping ground, made, that this nation
might live There is no power in the
tongue of man to fifty express all that
we who are reaping the rich harvest of
your struggle owe to the martyred dead
and the honored living who when called
to do battle by the sainted Lincoln in
defense Of the hottest cause for which
war was ever fought, came as the
winds come when navies are stranded,
came as the leaves come when forests
are rended.
''To Americans new duties and re-
sponsibilities come to us now. It we
prove ourselves true sons of soldiers we
must meet them as patriotic citizens.
We are facing period of danger from
without and within, for the country
stands today pledged to a world policy
of fair and square dealing. If we are
to learn anything from the days of 81
to '65 it is that we must stand shoulder.
to shoulder for these world ideas.
SIN this materialistic age. in this age
when the dollar looms up large in the
vision of the American citizen, we are
becoming recreant in our attitude to-
ward those things which are the nobler,
purer, deeper things of national life.
We turn to the wrong fountains for in
spiration. We have in our midst the
hyphenated American, the individual
who shouts for peace at any price, even
at the price of national dishonor. Some
thing is wrong, the times are out Of
of joint, when we have statesmen who
place selfish schemes for political ag-
grandizement higher than loyalty to
country. We are not proving true to
that spirit which penned the immortal
emancipation proclamation and which
caused the clear sun of emancipation to
shine in benediction upon four millions
of negro slaves when our vision is so
narrow that we see selfish individual
interests in larger perspective than the
interests of our nation"
At the close of the exercises at the
hall, autos conveyed the Post, Corps
and flower girls to the cemetery where
the graves of veterans were decorated
with the usual honors. All business
places in town were closed during the
afternoon.

Denison, of Jerome, last Friday, was again arrested Monday, brought to Prescott and arraigned before Jus tice McLane on charge of assault with a deadly weapon. His prelimin- ary hearing was set for June 7th anl he was allowed to go to Jerome to arrange for a Sl 900 bond.
 Wilson is alleged 10 have struck Gus Silva. known as Portuguese Joe" several times with the butt of q revolver. infiicting severe wounds about the latter's head. Wilson Was at that time serving under an appoin. ment by Town Marshal Fred Flaw kins, who was later defeated for re election by Earl Lyons. A warrant for Wilson's arrest was issued but was not served until after the election The case is said to have been used as weapon against Hawkins at the election, his opponents arguing tha; il reelected he would probably again appoint Wilson night watchman.

ORE DEPOSIT OF
 REMARKABLE RICHNESS
SUCH IS THE OPINION OF TWO ENGINEERS WHO EXAMINE PROPERTY OF THE LOMA PRIETA.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Mineralogical conditions continue to improve in the Loma Prieta shaft as it is deepened and to present even stronger indications of the proximity of a large deposit of copper sulphide ore than obtained at depth of S5 feet where the ore body was first en- countered. The presence of chalcopy- rite is more pronounced in the shaft at its present depth of l35 feet than at any point above, and from time to time the quartz is marked by seams of peacock copper and dottings of black copper.
 The contractor is making better headway of late in sinking the shaft, having passed through the lens oi monzonite, that made its appearance at depth of 115 feet. This lens, or "horse," was unusually nard to drill and was equally as refractory in the matter of breaking to advantage un- der the force of the dynamite blasts. A softer and more amenable strata having been entered, the miners are making faster progress. It therefore appears probable the shaft will be deepened to the 200-foot point within a few weeks. At that level the ore body is to be crosscut ard tested.
 The Loma Prieta ore body was in spected and given an O. K, this week by two men who are prominent in the mining affairs of the West. Neither knew the other was to visit the prop erty and each made his inspection ir dependent of the other and at differ ent time. The result was in each in stance, however the same. For both men pronounced 1t to be an ore de- posit of remarkable richness and ex- tent. In their opinion it will retain
 its values to great depth and will dis close them in the permanent sulphidc area at point not greatly below the present depth of the shaft.
 One of these men is a mining en gincer in the employ of a prominent copper company having largely pro ductive interests in Yavapai county and other sections of Arizona. The other has for many years been sue cessfully identified with the large mining interests of Colorado. The opinion of either carried great weight in mining circles. and when expressed for or against mining proposition is accented as final

s27,ooO in POSTOFFICE
 SAVINGS AT JEROME
Special correspondence.

Special Correspondence. JEROME. May 50-Since it has become impossible to semi money n- to Mexico by money orders. the pos al savings accounts have grown GIT ormously at the Jerome postoffice, ac- cording to Postmaster w. $. Adams. This increase is also due 10 the fact that money orders to countries in thc war zone cannot reacn their destina- ion.
 Among the miners arc Mexicans. Balkans. Austrians. and others in war torn countries who cannot send their money to their old homes. As a fc- suit. the savings have increased from S6,COO to S27,0OO in about two years.
 That this amount will greatly in crease. with the announcement by the postoifice department that larger amounts. to the extent of $l,O00 iii deposits by one person will be re- ccived. is the belief of Postmaster Adams.
 Heretofore. the limit has been $500 to depositor. The news that double the old amount will be received will be quite attractive to the foreign pop ulation.
 Notwithstanding that nearly a third of former destinations for money or
 dcrs has been cut off by war, Post
 master Adams says that the money order business has increased wonder ! fully the past two years. Great numbers of newspapers print ed in a half dozen languages arc fe- ceived at the Jerome office. All dc partments iu the office are increasing
 in business as a result of the prevalent prosperity.
