The big drive for Red Cross

Springs has even now all but
reached its high mark of $5, 900,
as will be seen by the list below;
but at a meeting Tuesday night
it was decided by the committee
to continue the canvass until
Saturday night in order that a
number of people not vet seen
may be given a chance to add
their contributions, and possibly
some of the few slackers in town
may reconsider their unpatriotic
stand before it is made public.

Drill Cuttings

While a mill site was proven
some time ago on the R. F.
Hartley farm, adjoining the city
on the west, the lease holde s,
The Butte & Superior company,
are still drilling and each hole
drilled almost is showing up
better. Last week a rich strike
was made but it does not COM
pare with the result of a hole
sunk since. Here the drill went
into ore at 100 feet. Tuesday
night it was down to 225 feet
and the ore cuttings which at
first would appear to run 10 to
Is per cent, have been growing
richer. The last cuttings taken
out mining men estimate will
run from 80 to As per cent. The
ore body blocked out on the
Hartley tract is pronounced as
rich and extensive as any body
of ore in the Kansas Oklahoma
district.
The Blue Mound Mining
company, which is holding leases
on 10 acres belonging to Stoskopf
and 10 acres owned by Sam
Slaughter, both near the Hartley
mill site, has put drills at work
on both tracts.
Arthur w. Terrill, E. M. & A.
NJ, is here under orders from
the State Geological Survey
Department, to secure data for
state records and state bulletins
on the lead and zinc mining in
Kansas. He is anxious to secure
records of exploration work and
information.
On the Fred Estes place ad-
Joining the Hartley property on
the west, now being prospected
by the Delaware Zinc Co., ore
was encountered at 2S5 to 290
feet. The run is said to be good.
Another strike on the Cooper
land south of the city limits was
made at a depth Of 165 feet
Saturday. 1t showed q seven
and a half foot face. In this
same hole only 20 feet above this
strike good lead was encountered.
This hole is located on the same
land where we reported a strike
Of 25 foot face lead last week.

WHOLESALE GROCERY
Now Engaged OH
Plans and Specifications

J. B. Dodson of Berryville.
Ark, who last week bought q
site near the M. D. & G. depot
in this city for the purpose Of
establishing a wholesale grocery
business here, this week stated
to a News reporter that his arch-
tect is now at work on the plans
and specifications. Just as soon
as possible after the completion
and approval of the plans, the
contract will be awarded. The
building will be 8Oxl0O feet, two
stories and basement. Ground
was broken yesterday for the
foundation.
The company will be composed
of Berryville capitalists and it
will be capitalized for 100000.
However the company is not
waiting for financial backing
here. 1t is amply capitalized for
carrying on a large business
which will employ a large force.

WANT STREET
OPEN To PUBLIC
Several Families Petition Coun.
Gil to Become Part of
City

A petition Is being circulated
by property owners in the third
ward for the opening of Main
street between Wyandotte and
Miami street, or in Other words
from the Goodeagle houses south
to the Lucky property. This
street is blocked by q strip Of
land that happens to be outlying
the corporation lines but is only
about 5 blocks from the heart Of
town and by all means should be
taken in at once.
The city is deprived OF several
blocks of taxable property and
the majority of the property
owners involved are willing to
pay city taxes in order to get
into town.
One family lives just west of
the line, yet had to pay tuition
for their children to attend the
Baxter city schools.
The people south of this street
want side walks also and are
willing to put them in when this
strip of land is opened FOR thru
travel to the city. Several new
homes are building south of the
cut off. No less than eleven
homes have been built on South
Main and south of this closed
street since March 1st.

IN CASE OF WAR SERVICES IN
EVERY LINE OF ACTIVITY
PLEDGED COUNTRY.
DELEGATES VOTE UNANIMOUS
Three Million Workers Are Repre-
sented by Delegates Meeting in
WasEinqton.-Work of Conference
Finished in Three Hours.

Washington.-Organ labor in
America, through it's representatives
in conference here offered it's services
to the country in every field of activity
Iif, despite all endeavors and hopes, the
United States should be drawn into
war.
The action was taken by unanimous
vote of more than $50 delegates from
national and international trade unions
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and five brotherhoods.
In all, about three million American
workers we're represented in the con-
ference, called to determine and an
nounce the part to be claimed by labor
in national preparedness plans.
A statement formally adopted and
issued after the meeting set forth in
addition to the offer OF services in case
of war, various demands which were
held to be fundamentals in safeguard
ing the rights of workers in war time
as we'll as in peace. Militarism was
protested against. 1t was held that
industrial service should be deemed
equally meritorious as military SER
vice; that service should conform to
trade union standards and that organ
lied labor should have representation
on all agencies determining and admin
istering policies of national defense
and controlling publicity.
The statement was drafted by the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor which submitted
1t to the delegates gathered here in
response to a call from Samuel Comp
pers, president, who presided at the
conference. 1t had been thought that
perhaps two or three days might be
required for a discussion but the CON
ference finished it's work in few
hours

President Wilson, from sick bed
ordered the arming of American mer-
chant ships against Germany's ruth
less submarine warfare and at the
same time issued proclamation call
ing an extra session of congress to
meet April Is.
Details of the governments armed
neutrality plans for defending the mer-
chant marine are withheld to avoid
endangering Americans and their ships
by permitting the information to reach
Germany. The only statement at the
white house and the navy department
is that the president has determined to
fully protect American rights.
The action of President Wilson In
arming merchant ships was taken only
after the president became firmly con-
vinced that Germany is actually pro-
ceeding with her campaign of ruthless
ness and has in deed made efforts to
plot with Mexico and Japan against
the territorial integrity Of the United
States.
The press of the nation is requested
by Secretary Daniels to refrain from
the arming of merchant
men.
Senators still hope that war with
Germany will be avoided, but say that
The issue rests entirely with Germany.

SuCn IS OPIHFOn OF ncPuOtICdn OanOI"
date for Speaker.
Washington.-Despi many confer
ences among leaders and animated dis
cussion of many proposals for working
out Democratic, Republican or bi-par-
tisan control of the incoming house
of representatives, there are few signs
that the plans of either of the big par
ties or the little group of Independents
will take definite form until within a
few days of the meeting of the spe-
cial session on April 16.
Most of the members have left the
capital with the impression that the
lines for the organization fight can
not be drawn month in advance be-
cause of the shifting of strength due
to deaths and uncertainties surround
ing plans for special elections to fill
the vacancies. Republican Leader
Mann, who will be his party's candi-
date for speaker, departed after an
nouncing that he would not favor any
trading for Republican control and pre-
dieting that bipartisan organization
was mot improba able"
The f1uctuating standings of the
parties presented the prospect that
the Democrats will have 215 votes and
the Republicans PA when the special
session convenes. 1t will require 21S
to elect a speaker. The five so-called
Independents holding the balance of
power have been unable so far to
agree on a concerted course, but they
will meet again just before the begin
ming of the session.

Gen. Venustiano Carranza has been
elected president of Mexico by what
is believed to have been the largest
vote ever cast in the republic. AL.

writing ia or declaring any name they
desired, General Carranza received all

paragraph which takes full respon-
sibility for submarine operations in
the Adriatic and Mediterranean, and
further states that encroachments in
those waters need not be feared. This
paragraph is regarded as hopeful.
