new development shaft.
Lumber and other supplies and be
ing delivered at Deadwood mill Mo
gollon district, and indications are
that this well known property will
soon be producing. Large ore rc-
serves ready for milling.
During the rebuilding OF the So.
corro mill the company is using all
men possible in increasing their de-
velopment in both johnson and Lit
tie Fanny mines. The power plant
was not injured by the recent fire so
that air and power are available,
A rich strike is reported to have
been made by Paul Thomas in his
mine, which is the east extension of
the Camp group of mines, in the

The United States government has
been steady buyer of silver for its
various mints and has constituted one
Of the mainstays of the market.
The Bell and Diamond mines at
Butte, of the Anaconda Copper Com
pany, closed since the beginning OF
the strike, resumed giving the com
pany 92 per cent of normal opera
tons.
Far reaching improvements in the
matter of making its shafts fireproof
are planned by the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company in consequence OF
the lessons learned from the fires at
the Tramway, Modoc and Granite
Mountain shafts, and for the Anacon-
da, the lining of the Tramway shaft
is the beginning of task which it Is
proposed to extend to every one OF
the company's more than a score OF
shafts in the Butte district

The Leadville district is gradually
gaining more labor from different di-
rections, and is adding to the output
from the mines, thus insuring an eX-
cellent record for 1917.
Under the supervision OF Warren
G. Prosser of Silverton. the Genesee-
Vanderbilt property is undergoing
thorough overhauling and retimbering
preparatory to development being
pushed all winter.
That the Aspen district is once more
receiving attention from outside CAPT
tai is attested by the organization and
plans of the Park Tunnel Mining and
Milling Company, organized to devel-
op an immense area in the Tourte-
lotte Park section.

BIC WORK AHEAD
Everybody Must Cooperate to
Carry Out Bigger Crop Plans.
Schools and Colleges Response
BILE for Cooperation.

Manhattan, Kan, April 24.-After
the most feasible plans for increased
production and conservation of re-
sources have been decided upon by
the leaders in agriculture turnout the
country, the agencies largely respon-
sible for making them effective will
be the agricultural colleges and the
United States department of agricul-
ture thru their extension organiza-
lions and the state boards of agricul-
ture So says E. C. Johnson, dean,
division of extension, Kansas state
Agricultural college
The agencies thru which these will
work will be as follows:
First, a group of agricultural spe-
cialists in agriculture and home
economics connected with every agri-
cultural college and working in CO.
operation with the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
County Agents Work.
Second. county agents working in
connection with well organized farm
associations known as farm bureaus
of agricultural clubs.
Third, a well organized administra-
tive force handling the extension ma
chinery.
Fourth. farmers organizations, in
Guiding farm bureaus. farmers insti-
farmers unions, and similar organiZa-
tions. and the rural church and the
rural school.
Fifth, the agricultural and general
press.
The institutes, farm bureaus,
oranges. farmers unions, and other
orga MIA tions named should be invit-
ed by the agricultural colleges, the
United States department of agricul-
ture and by governors proclamation
in many cases, to meet on a certain
day or days to discuss the program
and adopt for the local community
such parts of it as are likely to give
best results locally.
Co-Opcration Essential.
Every member of such organiza-
tons should be urged thru their ex-
ecutive committees to devote his eff
forts to putting into effect at least
some part of the program on his farm,
and it should be impressed upon him
that this is first of all a patriotic
duty, and second that it will also re-
suit in economic gain inasmuch as the
worlds food supply is short.

WATCH FEET OF HORSES
IIoofs of Young Colts Should BE Given
Constant Attention.

Manhattan, Kan, April 24-Trim-
ming feet of horses is one of the i'm
pOrtant factors in profitable horse pro-
duction, according to DIR. c. w. Nc
Campbell, associate professor of ami
NAL husbandry in the Kansas State
Agricultural college
The colts hoofs must be given con-
slant attention from the time the colt
Is foaled until it reaches maturity.
Even then they need considerable at
tention. Often during colthood the
feet are left to care for themselves.
This neglect results in later life in
many of the unsoundnesses common to
horses feet and legs.
UnsoUndness that may be caused by
lack of care when the horse is young
are sidebones, ringbones, splints, bone
spavins. bog spavins, corns and crack
ed hoofs. All the unsoundnesses tend
to lower the value of the horse. The
time to prevent any of them is when
the colt is young and his bones and
lemons are yet plastic.

Clay Center, Kan. April 24.-Mrs.
Sue v. Hemphill. county superintend-
emit of Clay county. caused an innova-
ton in the work of the district schools
of the county when she inaugurated

the days set apart for the event, which
was held in Clay Center. Specimens
of the handicraft of the manual train
ing from the different schools of the
county were exhibited in the rest room
OF the Masonic building and were the
cause of much favorable comment.
Many of the specimens were eligible
for exhibition at a worlds fair. Fri
day afternoon there was a spelling
contest. Saturday. Clay county was in
holiday attire and Clay Center was
turned over to the school children,
who with their parents came along to
witness the events. A parade of over
TOO children carrying flags and ban
ners was formed at 1880 o'clock and
marched around the court house
square to Huntress park. Some very
fine and original floats from the diff
ferent districts were in evidence. Over
5000 people filled the auditorium at
Huntress park. where program con-
sfsting Of songs and Rotations was
rendered. A May pole drill, mill
tary drill and a dramatization of Hia-
watha was rendered. The festival was
a grand success.

HE SHOWED PATRIOTISM
Frederick Boy Underwent Operation
That He Might Join Army.

Salina. Kan. April 2+.-WyIie
Ellis. the son of DR.. Ellis, of Fred
erick. demonstrated his patriotism
when he came to this city and under
went an operation at the Sterling hos
pital for the removal OF super
numerarv toe which prevented his
enlistment in the army. The extra
toe on one foot stood between young
Ellis and his chances of being ac-
cepted as a recruit, so he came to the
local hospital and had the OFFENDING
member removed
The young man was able to return
to his home the same evening. AS
soon as the foot has healed he will
be ready to enlist for the defense of
his country.
