CANNING DEMONSTRATION

Miss MCGEE of the Home Econom-
les Department of the University of
Missouri was here Tuesday and held
a canning demonstration in the High
School building. In the morning Miss
MCGEE gave lecture at 10 o'clock,
and the canning demonstration was
held at 2 o'clock. The demonstration
was very practical and help at this
time of year to the housewives, who
are beginning to can and preserve
garden products.
The method demonstrated by Miss.
MCGEE is said to be the most practi-
cal of any method used. Miss MCGEE
also gave lecture last night, in the
High School building. She will prob
ably be in the county all summer and
will likely hold more demonstrations
in canning.

MISSOURI REGISTRATION
ESTIMATED AT $4,000

jefferson City, Mo-, June 6.--The
registration figures for Missouri will
approximate $4,000, according to -es-
Inmates at the office of the adjutant
general here today. Missouri's quota
had been placed by the War Depart
ment at 326,001. Complete returns
from the State will not be available
for several days.
Washington, June 6-The mighty
roll of honor of American manhood
had begun to reach Washington to-
night from the States that had COM
pleted their count Of the men of mill
tary age registered yesterday. At
late hour only a few complete re-
ports had been received, but prelim-
mary unofficial returns were sufficient
to show that millions of men await
the call to arms.
The official figures were too scant
for an accurate estimate of the total
of the men who have registered. The
first reports showed that the Census
Bureau estimates of eligibles had not
been equaled, but officials pointed out
that the numbers by which one or two
cities alone had exceeded the estimates
would erase the entire deficiency of
the several smaller States, sending
in the first official returns.
In some of these cities registration
still was in progress today, the attor-
ney-general having approved the ac-
ton of Provost Marshal General Crow
der in authorizing an extension of
time where cards were lacking or
where the registration machinery
proved otherwise inadequate to its
task.

BOOZE SENT HOME

The beer, whiskey and wine, which
recently fell into the hands of Sher-
if Adams and Prosecuting Attorney
Mathews, at Elvins, and which had
been ordered for the purpose of as
sisting in the celebration of Hun
garian wedding at that place, was
shipped back to the brewers and deal
,ers in st. Louis Wednesday.
For some reason this case was new
err brought to trial. There was about
$3.50 worth of the Spirits, which
would probably have spread the "cel-
ebration" out over at least weeks
time. We have not learned whether or
not the wedding was postponed.

MINER KILLED

Dave Winston was killed by a blast
in shaft No. A, of the Doe Run Co. at
Flat River, at o'clock yesterday
morning. Deceased was married. It
is supposed Winston must have fallen
asleep after preparing his blast, and
when the other blasts exploded loos-
ened rocks and boulders crushed out
his life. 1t was intended to touch off
several blasts simultaneously, hence
Winston was not missed until all the
other blasts had exploded.

RICH SHALE BEDS
FOUND NEAR PALISAOE

Elko Free Press: New discoveries
of rich shale have been recently
made near Palisade, Eureka County,
by Senator l.. R. Thatcher and asso-
ciates, who have filed on several hum
dred acres, and samples of the shale
have been tested by o. j.. Streeter.
who obtained from so to 80 gallons
of oil to the ton. This shale came
from an old shaft which had been
sunk on a deposit discovered in the
early sixties, a few miles north OF
Palisade. and at that time it was be-
lieved the deposit was coal. 1t is
very dark in color and resembles close
ly the oil shale from Watson, Utah.
and carries a high percentage in
gasoline and the residue carries a
high percentage of ammonia.
This new discovery by Thatcher
and associates is probably the richest
vet discovered in this section of the
State, and yesterday Professor Day.
of Washington, d. c.. arrived here
to personally examine the new find
Mr.. Day has been connected with
the Government for several years
and is considered to be the highest
authority on shale deposits. He left
Saturday morning for Palisade, in
company with Mr.. Thatcher.
Senator Thatcher and associates
have announced that they will build
a 1OO-ton plant, probably at Palisade
to handle the shale. and their plans
include a smelter at some nearby
point on the railroad. to use the gas
which comes from the treatment of
the shale. Major Fred K. Reed, of
Boise, Idaho. who is interested with
Senator Thatcher and Mr.. Streeter,
has been here the past week, and he
is enthusiastic over the richness of
the deposits and has gone to Idaho
to raise funds for the erection of the
extraction plant.
Mr.. Streeter has on display in his
window a miniature extraction appa-
ratus, which is attracting much at
tention. Prof. Day has ordered a
shipment of eight barrels of the shale
to be sent. to the English refining
plant at London, where a thorough
test will be made.
