DRAFTING men
FOR Mine WORK
How Would You Like TO be Select
ed to Labor Down in a Coal
Shaft.
PLAN TO RID COUNTRY
OF LOAFERS
Work For Several Millions of "GOods
Box Statesmen" Is Planned by
Commissioner Garfield.

A notable convention of the Ma,
tional Coal Operators Association
was recently held in Pittsburgh, Pa.
at which time the whole fuel prob
lem was thoughtfully stated and
thoroughly Illuminated. Fuel Com
missioner Dr. Harry A. Garfield, and
LOO coal operators of the United
States were in attendance. So vital is
the necessity of coal in the winning
of the war, the operators believe,
that advocation of the commander
ing of labor was voiced. The COM
Wandering was urged by John P.
Reese, of st. Louis, who said that IL
malcontent miners persist in dis
turbing the program of the Presi-
dent the government should com
mandeer labor and compel it to run
the mines, thus insuring continuous
production. There are several million
corner loafers in this country who
might be commandeered to the great
advantage of the government, and
to the unspeakable relief of the COM
munities afflicted by their contain
mating presence. Why should these
public pests be allowed to escape all
responsibility in these times of
stress and trial? Why should they be
allowed to eat bread for which they
never toll? They could not be used as
soldiers for there is not stuff Of true
manhood in them, but they could be
made to serve in various useful ca
pacities. The loafer is always a
shirker, but now if ever he should be
compelled to be of some use to the
land from which he has taken all and
given nothing. Some of them might be
redeemed by being compelled to work.
All good and decent people would
thank God that these loafers had been
taken off the street and that they
would be for the first time in their
lives of some value to the nation.
What is true of the loafers is also
true of the millions of fiunkies in
this land. They ought to be put to
work. We are told that there are
900 fiunkies il New York City
alone, big husky men who make
livelihood by opening and shutting
doors and using a whisk broom, for
ever holding out the hand for gratui-
ties. and carrying little bundles and
packages for men and women as big
and husky as themselves. These funk
les are the outgrowth OF selfish
wealth and pride, and egotisms or
vain glorious idlers and parasites
who themselves have the souls OF
funkies. Put the /loafers to work.
Put the flunkies to work. Make the
gilded social parasites sweat aad toll.
When real men give their blood for
their land these imitation men ought
to be compelled to give at least the
labor of their hands.

Only IS Years Old but Registered

Only Is Years Old but Registered.
Fort Madison, Ia, Dec. 3.-Jimmy
Savington, IS years old, the young
est national army soldier at Camp
Dodge and probably the youngest in
the national army camps of the coun-
try, feels that his reputation as a
rough fighting man is besmirched. He
has been forced to enter a hospital
at the camp, and, to make matters
worse, he is the only one of fifty
from this city now at the camp to de-
mald medical attention since arriv-
ing there.
The youth became a soldier thru
his desire to get into the struggle
and the failure on the part of the ex-
emption board to discern his right
age. He registered and was called and
accepted. Later his parents attempted
to secure his release, but are not
pressing the demand, and Jimmy now
has hopes of going to France next
spring with his older comrades. He is
working hard for promotion and
reports from Camp Dodge say his
chances are good.

CARE FOR NURSES WELL.
Vinton Young Woman in Letter Tells
of Conditions i'm France.

Vinto1, Ia, Dec. 3.-In a letter to
her father, Frank Wilson, Miss Julia
Wilson, former Vinton young wo-
man, describes conditions in the hos
pital in which she is working in
France. She is at base hospital
with 1000 beds, and although she
says everyone Is. busy, they are not
so overcrowded as some newspaper
reports would indicate.
Miss Wilson says an occasional air
raid gives them taste Of actual war
conditions, but they do not work in
the midst of she'll fire. She tells of
the American boys having entered
the trenches and asserts that the
United States will soon appreciate
real war conditions.
The French receive the American
soldiers enthusiastically and each is
learning the language of the other,
according to Miss Wilson. She says
she is now able to make herself I'M
derstood in French.
Generally, the letter states, the
nurses are we'll taken care of in ev-
cry way. AS the weather is cold and
damp at present. they have been sup
piled with stoves and are allowed ten
pounds of coal a day for each stove
The description of Halloween
masquerade party shows they do not
lack for amusement.

MAYER CAMP
is GETTING BUSY

MAYER, Ariz., Sept.2S.-Announce-
ment is made by the Big Ledge Cop
per company, of Duluth, that con-
-struction work is to begin again at
the smelter in this camp October 1,
and by the first of the year it is ex-
pected the company will be able to
blow the big plant in with capacity
of 1000 tons daily.
The second unit is to be put in the
smelter with 500 tons capacity and
one reverberatory and two convertors
are to be installed.
Three shifts are to be started at
the company's two mines near this
camp, the Butter Nut and the Henri
eta. 1t is not generally known how
large the body of ore in the Butter
Nut mine is. At the 20O-foot level a
lens of chalcopyrite ore has been de-
veloped that is so feet wide Several
engineers have examined the ledge
the past few weeks to satisfy them
selves. 1t is pronounced to be one Of
the largest bodies of milling grade
copper ore in Arizona.
The company plans the erection of
flotation mill at the mine and a
wire tram is to be installed to carry
the ore to the railroad half mile
The ore bodies in the Henrietta mine
are not so large, but have higher
grade of ore. The company plans to
encourage the small mine owner by
making a market for custom ores.
By the time the smelter is completed
it is erpected that the two mines will
be opened up to supply full capacity
for the smelter.

The Arizona copper camp., 1917-09-29

The recent Red Cross drive fur
nlshed some curious items: Many
washwomen gave a days work as
their contribution; Mary Soitko, a
Slav, gave hen and a dozen eggs,
which, at auction, brought $4,000.
The hen sold for $400. The eggs were
displayed in jewelry store windows,
and kept in steel safety vaults at
night. They are keeping both hen
and eggs for the next drive. A de-
scendant of Betsy Ross made a flag
which sold for $500. A Polish coun-
tess, whose castle Won Hindenburg oc-
cupied, making a stable of the draw
ing room, told her story at meeting
which raised 100000 The whole
amount raised, in round numbers, was
$12O,OOO,OOO.

acre of grain to the Red Cross, and

Have you read of the new solution,
"Nikalgin," which produces absolute
local anaesthesia in wounds of unbe-
lievable size and depth? 1t is the
newest aid to Red Cross work at the
front, and was perfected by an Amer
ican, Gordon Edwards His query
was: "How are you going to anaes-
thetize wound twice the size of a
beefsteak by injection?" He has sup
piled the answer in Nikalgin, which is
sprayed on the surface of the wound
facilitating dressings, and eliminating
the often fatal shock of handling ex-
posed nerves. Mr.. Edwards is supply
ing the French, English and Italian
armies with large, almost unlimited
quantities of the solution, free of
charge, this being made possible by
the generosity of American women,
