the woods and in another minute he
had Martha safe in his arms.
Then Rusty picked up his Ian
tern and set off toward the sta
ton as fast as he could go. But
he had not gone far when he met
his master coming home in the
dark.
'Wlhy, Rusty, you bad dog"
exclaimed Mr.. Raymond. What
made you SO late?"
OF course Rusty could not eX-
plain, and he trotted home behind
his master feeling that he was in
disgrace
Later in the evening Mr.. Royce
came over and told why Rusty was
late with the lantern, and | think
the dog understood for he looked
so pleased and glad.
After that everybody petted Rus
ty more than ever. If he hadn't
been such a good dog he certain
ly would have been spoiled.
But Rusty wasn't spoiled and he
carried the lantern every night I'M
til the darkness came so late that
Mr.. Raymond reached home by
daylight
Do you wonder that everyone in
the neighborhood, and especially
Martha Royce. thinks that Rusty
is wonderful dog.

The Sun And The Snow Man.
| made nice fat snow man once,
But when | went to play with him
Next morning, l was quite surprised
Because he'd grown so very slim.
And when the next day l went out,
I didn't find him there at all.
I called him all around the yard,
But got no answer to my call.
My mother says that snow men
Stay very long, because the sun
Shines down and melts them all a.
way,
So we can't keep a single one.
I'm glad I'm not snow man white,
Although l look like one, | know,
For / like best of all to play
Where all the dancing sunbeams go.
And it would be dreadful thing
To have to stay in doors all day,
Or else put up a parasol,
For fear that | should melt away.

APPEARANCE OF RADiUM.
Geological Survey Correots Mistaken
Idea of Rare Metal.

: The geological survey, department Of
the Interior has received numerous in
quiries about the appearance of rad
ium, many of which seem to have
been prompted by carelessly written
stories, appearing in periodicals of the
poorer class, that toll of remarkable
finds Of nearly pure radium.
Radium is a. metal, and has white
metallic luster; it has been isolated
only once or twice, and few people
have seen it. Radium is ordinarily
obtaihed in the form Of salts, and is
usually so sold and used. These salts
are all white or nearly white sub
stances whose appearance is no more
remarkable than that of common salt
or baking powder. Radium is found
in nature in quantities SO exceedingly
small that it is never visible even
when the material is examined with a
powerful microscope. Ordinarily rad
Jun ore carries only small fraction
of a grain of radium per ton of min
eral, and radium will never be found
in large masses because it is formed
by the decay of uranium, a process
that is wonderfully slow, and radium
itself decays and changes to other
elements so rapidly that it Is impos-
sible for it to accumulate naturally in
visible masses. Radium and radium
minerals are not generally lumines-
cent. Tubes containing radium glow
from impurities present which the rad
itaions from the radium cause to give
light.
Minerals that carry radium are fair
ly easy to determine, for they affect
Photographic films in the same way
as ordinary light, and they can also
be identified by their effect upon ar
electroscope.

RHODES IN SOUTH AFRICA.
How He Gained Control Of the OUTPUT
Of Diamonds.

In the July American Magazine John
Hays Hammond in writing of Cecil
Rhodes gives this account Of the for
nation of the De Beers Consolidated:
South Africa had it's Sherman law,
which prevented anyone from owning
more than one claim, but the moment
it was repealed Rhodes, although then
only q years old, organized the De
Beers Mining company, raised mil
lion dollars of capital and purchased
almost half the diamond area at Kim
berly. His chief rival was the famous
Barney Barnato. The output of dia-
monds greatly increased. prices be-
came demoralized, and the unsettle-
ment which followed the Majuba dis
aster to British arms caused. wide
spread depression. The whole dia-
mond business was sliding towards
ruin. Rhodes, though losing money,
stuck to his guns. He say that the
evil rose from overproduction, COM
petitive price cutting. He realized
that the industry could be saved only
by regulating output. He tried to
buy out Barnato, but. that shrewd OPP
orator, with his own mighty ambitions,
would not consent to be swallowed up.
In the end Rhodes won out-as he
almost always did. In 1888 he formed
the great De Beers Consolidated mines,
then the largest Industrial corporation
in the world and ever since that time
the controlling factor in the worlds
diamond business. The De Beers claim
was named after Dutchman interest
ed in the company. Rhodes would
not have dreamed of giving his own
name to it. but Rhodesia, an empire
as large as all Of France, Austria and
Prussia combined, took its name from
him

VALUABLE MINING DATA.
IS NOW Being COMPILED.
A BIG UNDERTAKING THAT WILL
PROVE OF GREAT BENE-
FIT TO STATE.
(Boise Capital News)

ID. c. Livingston, professor Of geol-
ogy at the Idaho university, is in the
city enroute to Moscow. He has fol-
the past two weeks been visiting mines
and prospects in the Boise basin, the
Seven Devils and the Cuddy mountain
compiling data for the handbook that
is to be published by the state on the
mines and prospects of Idaho. After
being in the field most of the summer,
Professor Livingston is more convinc-
ed than ever before that he has been
entrusted with a work of unusual
magnitude. He has been assisted by
Professor E. X. Soper during the sum-
mer in gathering first hand informa-
ton on the mining district Of the state,
but the area to be covered is so extern
sive and the properties that should lie
visited are so numerous that it will
take months to complete the work

a long time and would cost more
money than the $4,000 appropriated
for this purpose by the last legislature.
The federal government is going to
render some assistance in financial
way, especially along the lines of get
ting the book in print after the man.
uscript Is completed.
1t is the intention of Professor Liv-
ingston to have the data all collected
and compiled ready to go to the printer
by the esd Of next summer. The in
formation collected this year can be
put in shape during the winter. The
field work can be finished next summer
and the manuscript turned over to the
federal government for printing early
in the fall.
Valuable Publication.
Zone does not know how expensive
1t is and how much time it takes to
visit Idaho's mining districts until field
work such as have been doing this
summer Is undertaken" said Profess
sor Livingston. 1T costs considerable
to visit the remote sections and, If the
federal government were not coming
to our assistance in the undertaking,
l am afraid the states appropriation
would not see us through. When this
data is finally collected and put in
book form, it will be of value to Idaho
for many years to come. There is not
now any way to find out anything
about the states mineral resources,
unless by personal inspection. We
have big job on our hands, but we
are working away and hope to finish
it some time next year"

SAVE GASOLINE.
Head Of Mining Bureau Advises Re.
dueing Pleasure Riding.

dueins Pleasure Riding.
After careful investigation of the
present gasoline situation, Mr.. Van H.
Manning, director of the bureau OF
mines of the department of the inter-
ior has issued the following state
ment:
One half Of the gasoline used in the
United States (1,25O.O00.OOO gallons)
is used in pleasure riding.
1t is estimated that the United
States Army will need 350,OOO,0 900 gal
Ions for airplanes, trucks, automobile
tractors, and other machines. There
is no way of obtaining this in this
country except by saving from the
existing supply, and this economy may
be effected by voluntary cutting down
of pleasure riding (for instance, the
man who takes his family out on SUM-
day for 50-mile ride can cut this in
half).
1t has been estimated that by econ
onlical use enough gasoline can be
saved 10 supply Hol oniy tHc Omu
States but also its allies for war pur-
poses.
The following suggestions should be
observed by automobile owners:
1. Do not allow your gasoline en-
CINE to run idle.
z. Use kerosene, not gasoline, fol
cleaning purposes in the garage.
3. See to it that the carbureter does
not leak Form the habit Of shutting
or the gasoline at the tank.
A. BY judicious regulation of thu
mixture of gasoline and air in tn
motor both greater power and econ
omy of fuel may be obtained.
Automobile owners need not lay vi
cars, but should use them either TO
trade or pleasure purposes thought
fully and judiciously. II this advic
is followed there will be- no undu
scarcity, for the United States posses
SEES an abundant supply for ordinar
purposes

GUM IN WAR.
Soldiers Of All Nations Adopt the
American Habit.
New York SUM-

New York Sum-
The chewing of gum chicle, says the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
MERGE, is "a habit peculiar to the Unit
ed States" True once, but not today.
The American chewing gum has fol-
lowed the flag to the PHILIPPINES, the
Hawaiian islands and Panama, under
labels printed in the Chinese language
1t has kept Asiatic Jews busy, it has
found friends in Africa from the coast
to the interior highlands, 1t has reach
ed the South Sea islands and it has en-
tered every South American port.
It has gone down into the European
war trenches and has been welcomed
by the Tommies and the poilus. Eu-
rope in peace times was slow to accept
this American CONNECTION. England in
1914 imported $9O,1S3 worth and
France only $736. The soldiers de-
mand raised those amounts in the first
nine months of this fiscal year to
$5S2,294 in England and to $90.201 IN
France.
You may object as much as you Will
to the habit and to its going abroad
as q representative United States
amusement;- nevertheless you are con-
fronted with the fact that 1t is habit
in which the allied battle line from
Belgium to- Salonica is finding comfort
and enjoyment. There is also the in
sistept fact that over 100000 worth
of American chewing gum will reach
foreign countries before the end OF
the year, and that this amount VIII
very likely be doubled in the following
IL months. And even then the end Is
not in sight.

one of the finest home talent shows
ever seen in Milford this evening
when they show their Cabaret Min
strel at ArmOry Hall. The indica-

The production, under the direction
OF Charles d. Campbell, of Bridgeton,

The first part will be the Cabaret
Minstrels and the second will be a
side-splitting comedy entitled Nose

minstrel performance will be UNIQUE
in that the old familiar setting for
minstrel shows gives way to a scene
IN modern cabaret. Vocal solos BY
Mrs. Postles Hammond, Ruth Wind
sor, Charles Varney and Holmes Wag-
ner will feature this portion of the
entertainment. The walters and end
men will be Thad Windsor, Norman
Windsor, Bill Nutter, and Bill Muir
ply. all of whom are known on the
local stage. Frank Gates will be the
Cashier and Interlocutor. Snappy.
raggy coon songs will be among the

have many original Jokes with which
to keep the audience IN an uproar.
In the second part, Bill Nutter. Ed
ward Messick. Gus Dickerson and
James Deputy, all of whom have been
seen in amateur theatricals on the
local stage in the past, will take some
1f the leading parts This portion
)f the minstrel. unlike the old min
itrel shows. will be fully as enter
aiming as the first part. The entire
performance will be replete with
fright and breezy dialogue, dancing

ense be an entirely musical produe-
ion, but music and dialogue will be
generously interspersed.
