TESTED MINING MACHINES
Is Believed Automatic Machine Will
Prove Successful in Min.
ing Coal

One of the latest models of the
Sullivan mining machine was given
test at the old Crescent mine in
West Mineral last Friday, and men
who saw the new machine in opera
ton declare they believe it will
prove successful in mining the up
per vein of coal.
The machine was only given a
short run, but in 20 minutes time it
made a cutting 20 feet long, which
extended back under the fact of the
coal a distance of five and one-half
feet. The machine is driven by a
80 h. p. electric motor and travels
along a track under its own power.
1t weighs four and a half tons. If
coal can be gotten out at a price
which will show a profit to the mine
operators others will be added at
once.

THREW ACID ON HER SON

Two Harbors, Mimi, Dec. 24-To
prevent his being accepted into the
draft army, Mrs. Charles Magnuson
of this city, according to the police
threw acid into the face Of her son,
Arthur, while he lay asleep at the
home. He was rushed to a hospital
and it was learned there that he will
not lose his sight. The only thing
that saved his sight, physicians say,
is that he was sleeping and had his
eyes closed.
Magnuson was to have left today
with the drafted boys from Lake
county. Constant brooding over the
fact that her son was drafted is be-
lieved to have affected the mothers
mind. She collapsed and has been
confined to her bed since.

What with liberty bonds, comfort
kits, Y. M. C. A. fund, knitting and
numerous other activities to be main
tanned, it would seem the public has
its hands pretty full just now. How
ever there is one cause to which no
one of US can afford to be indiffer-
cnt. In every town and community
throughout the land, from now till
after Christmas, the little Red Cross
Christmas seals will be on sale. No
lover of humanity can afford to neg
lect this noble charity. Not even
war itself is the deadly enemy to the
human race that the great white
plague is. It's ravages extend around
the earth, and no human being is ex-
empt. The proceeds of the Red Cross
Seals are devoted entirely to the re-
scue of the victims of this scourge.
Who can tell that a dollar given to
this cause may not be the means of
warding this plague from your own
loved ones? If you would help the
utterly hopeless of earth, rally to
the support of the Red Cross fund.

ready to aid the unfortunate. over
look shortcomings, praise public en-
terprise, and sanction every cause for
the betterment Of the community, and
asks little In return except legitimate
patronage. II the country editor re-
ceives a word Of praise he redOubles
his efforts next week, II he hears no
praise, he bends his energies toward
getting out n better paper in order
to please his readers; and thus he
plays the game throughout the days
and weeks and years, and often leaves
nothing as a heritage to his children,
except a pleasant memory Of daddy

GAS WELLS AT OswEGO
Eighteen Strong Producers. Others
Being Located. Companies
Anxious TO Develop Them

There are now eighteen good strong
gas producing wells in the Altamont
field six miles southwest Of oswego
and according to he reports the pros
poets for more look bright.
These wells have tested from two
to nine million q day each. The av-
erage run Of the wells seem to be six
and seven million. Six good wells
are on Bent Johnson's land in sec
tons 10 and "a, six are on D. s. Ro-
mines land in section "a in the south
east corner Of Mound Valley town
ship and six good producing wells on
the w. L. Smith farm in section ID.
A good gas well has been brought in
on the farm occupied by Lew Steg-
meir. Two dry holes have been
brought in on the Milo Hildreth place
and one on the John Gaddis farm.
There are three rigs in the field and
it has been stated that three more will
be on the field in few days. A rig
is expected to locate on the W. E.
Westervelt's farm and on the Dunlap
place east of the John Gladdis farm
within q few days.
Rental on leases bordering on this
field is being paid as soon as due and
various companies seem to be anxious
to secure leases bordering the devel-
opmented territory.
Land owners in this locality are
highly elated. Six gas wells to the
farm paying on an average Of $3.50
royalty to the well per year, makes a
neat income for q side line. The field
promises OF cover q large scope be-
fore many m0nhs as the companies
at this time seems as eager to devel-
op the land as the land owners are
anxious to have it developed. There
is q ready market for gas at a good
rate and as this field is located near
the big gas line, the wells can be util-
lied with very little delay or expense.

Kaiser Bill q licking. We have had
some cold weather here, only a very
little snow.
We are living In tents, they are
warm, but we stay out Of doors all
day working hard. We have plenty
to eat and good warm clothes to wear.
l think we are having a good time.
Things have changed since left
dear old Baxter town the 4th day
Of last August. The only thing a
soldier can do at night is talking
about the old home folks. We have
about $4,000 boys here at this post.
They say the drafted boys are going
to get furlough home, but the poor
volunteer boys can't. guess they
class them as baby's Of mammals.
We have quite few French officers
here to train US trench warfare. We
have almost everything here, but the
best of all is our Y. M. C. A. It
does make q good place for US to 60
when we want to write to our sweat
hearts and wives and mothers. The
best Of all, old Baxter is my home. /
