U. S. ZINC SMELLING
co. TO OPERATE IN KANSAS

The United States Zinc Smelling
Corporation has decided to enter the
newly developed mining field west of
Baxter Springs, Kan, and will start
the sinking of two shafts on two 80
acre tracts in that section in the near
future.
This corporation, which formerly
was known as the Kenefick Company,
now operates four big sheet-ground
mines in this district, and Media and
Electrical at Webb City and the Coyote
and Airdale at Joplin. The Milan
mine at Webb City formerly was OPP
Grated also, but was cut out and clos
ed down some weeks ago. The mill
from that plant, it is understood, will
be used in part, at least, in the con-
struction of a modern plant at the
new site.
The leases in Kansas lie about
three miles west of Baxter Springs
and about mile and half north
and one-half mile east of the Blue
Mound. Drilling has been under way
for some time and there now are to-
tai of eighteen drill holes on the two
tracts, the majority of which show
fine ore, the last hole to be put down
was what decided the company to pro-
coed to shaft sinking. In this hole
rich pay dirt was shown by the cut
tings at 223 feet, and the drill con-
tinued in good ore down to 290 feet.
For the entire distance assays showed
the dirt to run an average of a per
cent blende, and at some portions a |
grade as high as Is per cent was
shown.
The two 80-acre tracts adioin each
other and it is the present plan of
the company to sink the two shafts
some distance apart and so located
that each will take care of a large
portion of the tract on which it is
located.
1t is expected considerable water
will be encountered below 200 feet,
as there has been no draining at ali
in this particular section. 1t is pos
sible the company will decide to in
stall a Pomona pump in drill hole
alongside the shaft, plan which has
been tried with success in other cases
where heavy water was met with.
G. E. Marshall is manager for the
U. S. Zinc Smelling Corporation in
this district.-Miami Record Herald.
This tract, known as the Naylor
tract, is owned by the Central Min
ing Co., formed principally by Farm
ington and st. Francois county men,
Andrew Mackley being president. L.
0. Wells, Chas. Guessing, F. A. Ben
ham and others here are interested {
in it. Central Mining Co. retains a
five percent royalty in the deal.

WOULD LIMIT
FRANKING PRIVILEGE

The abuse of the Congressional
Thanking privilege, which has grown
up under the present administration,
has assumed such proportions that
Representative VIM. w. Griest of
Pennsylvania has introduced bill
its use to the mailing of Of
fetal correspondence not exceeding
four ounces in weight, and copies of
speeches and documents printed by
Congress. If that measure becomes
a law it will bear hard on those few
Congressmen who are in the habit of
mailing typewriters, large packing
boxes filled with household effects,
etc., to their homes at the close of
each session.

IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS

1t does not appear to be generally
known in this city that the Sunshine
Special, the fast train on the Iron
Mountain, receives passengers at
Bismarck for all points south where
that train stops. 1t has been doing
this for the past year. This train
reaches Bismarck about $40 D. m.
This obviates the necessity of going to
st. Louis in order to make long trips
west or south.

A Symbol of Health.

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temper
ance and purity. As a badge they
used the five-pointed star which they
regarded as symbol Of health. A
red five-pointed star appears on each
package of Chamberlain's Tablets,
and still fulfills its ancient mission
as symbol of health. If you are
troubled with indigestion, biliousness
OF constipation, get package of these
tablets from your druggist. You will
be surprised at the quick relief which
they afford. Obtainable everywhere.

SEND YOUR MAGAZINE
 TO THE BOYS IN FRANCE.

Among the things most desired by the boys in France as Is expressed by their own voices, is magazines and pa- pers and especially good magazines.
 On good many of the best maga- zines one may see this little inscrip- tion. Notice to Readers. When you finish reading, place one cent stamp on this notice, hand it to any postal employe and it will be placed in the hands of our soldiers and sailors at the front. No Wrapper, No Address

 Now the government made this rul- ing for the benefit of the soldiers and it expected the people to see their du- ty in it by taking advantage of this proposal and sending the boys maga- zines, or in other words, to do our part or "our bit"
 There are quite a number of maga- zines sold in this town every month besides the ones coming by mail and it seems to me that we could send a large bundle of them every week if we would only take the interest in our soldier boys that we should. Such magazines as Golfers, Leslie's, Judge and many other good ones would read mighty good in the hands of our sol diers in France during their spare mo- ments behind the lines.
 This has been called to the attention of the people of Halvern before, but they have failed to do their part. When you get through reading your

SIGN A FOOD
 CONSERVATION CARD

The food saving cards received by Bro. Harrell for distribution among the Methodist families are from the United States administration at Wash ington, D. c.
 We could not get them out on time this week, but housekeepers, we al- ready know what we are up against. The only difference between us wom- en and children and those of Belgium is that the Germans have not reached us yet. All that is keeping these mur- derers back are the soldiers of France and England. These brave fellows must be fed and clothed, or they fail. Our boys will soon stand before the most brutal force of creation. If they are not to be fed and clothed they will fail, too, and that means ruin.
 Please get Oct. 31st. Gazette and look at its cartoon. The Gazette of the same date, page s, column 3, Maj. Gen. Wood says this conflict is war of slaughter. He declares it will last until the drain of human life can no longer be borne by the warning na- tions. He says the United States has hardly entered the struggle, and that there will be another draft, and anoth- CT, and another until every able bodied man in the country will be carrying a gun. Women, one and all, in the name of our soldier boys-God bless 'em-- can't we decide, pledge and swear that we will help every way we can? That they may have it we are asked to use the very least of wheat, sugar, lard and beef and pork. We are asked to use substitutes, and enough, but no waste. Our government says eat veg etables, potatoes, rice, corn meal, chicken and fish. Women, remember the men who are defending us every time you dip up the four for biscuit. Plan a substitute for meat; use mo- lasses. Our government is asking each one to use less and food stuffs are higher priced, so in the name of justice, is it too much for us women to ask that food stuffs raised in our own country be retailed a. before the war prices? Let's be good to ourselves and neighbors these troublesome times when the future looks so dark. We will live on bread and water If that will save our boys, won't we? Say yes!

OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCA-
 TION AT WASHINGTON

Washington, D. C., October 31.-To the young man or woman who seeks to obtain college education and a livelihood at the same time, no city in the country offers an opportunity more attractive than that to be found in the national capital. The several uni versailles at Washington provide eve- ming classes with hours arranged con- veniently for government employees, who ordinarily complete their days work at half past four and all libraries including the Library of Congress, are open at night.
 For years thousands of young peo- pie have entered the civil service at Washington with the main idea of de- voting three or four years to equip ping themselves for professional or scientific career while supporting themselves. Many of the young men live at fraternity houses, co-opera- lively conducted, thereby lessening the living expense and also securing a place where they can entertain their friends.
 In addition to the university courses, the Young Mems Christian Association and private schools conduct evening classes in technics, languages, accoun- tancy, stenography and typewriting and the usual high school studies.
 Notwithstanding the drafts for mil itary service practically all schools in Washington show an increased en- rollment this year. This is due to 5he 1 great influx incident to the war. Ten or twelve thousand new clerks and oth- CT employees have been appointed in the departments and this great civilian army is being added to daily Stenographers and typewriters and mechanical draftsmen for the service generally, and what are known as schedule clerks, index and catalogue clerks, clerks qualified in statistics ol accounting, and clerks qualified ir business administration for the office of the Ordnance Department of the Army are in demand.
 I The representatives of the Fedora civil service commission at the pos1 offices in all cities are receiving nu merous inquiries from persons wht wish to be at the seat of government
 at this time of big events and to have
 a part in the actual administration 0. the Governments great business. Wo
 men are finding in this office work al
 opportunity to "do their bit" in ;
 very practical way.

SAYS DOGS ARE KEPT FAT
 ON THE WASTE.

l want to give my full endorsement of what was said in yesterdays Rec ord by the editor and Bro. Harrell compulsory school lunches. In our home we prepare dinner every day for seven. Of these, three are school lunches. The extra expense for the three lunches would feed the seven Several poor dogs on the school cam- pus have been fed fat on the waste from lunches. My opinion is that the compulsory school lunch business ought to be eliminated at once.

MUCH OPPOSITION TO
 COMPULSORY LUNCH

Below we print four letters from school patrons who are opposed to the present system of compelling the chil- dren to bring their lunch. Many have called at this office to endorse the stand taken by the paper against this proposition and a number have phon- ed the office voicing their strenuous opposition to the present plan.
 The article submitted by Prof. J. L. Pratt was received too late for inser- Ition of this issue and will be publish ed tomorrow The Records columns are open at all times for discussion of both sides of any public question.
 URGES s. I. A. TO TAKE ACTION.
 It is gratifying to note that the mat ter of school lunches is again being placed before our people. For several years we have called the attention of LII SClOOt UO LIlG IiIdltcI dilQ in each instance the only argument ad- vanced was that the attendance in the afternoon was much better where the child was forced to bring his lunch.
 Attention is now called to the fact that this argument is no longer tena- ble as we have compulsory school law and also a truant officer to see to 1t that there is no truancy.
 Attention of the s. I. A. is respect fully called to this very important matter, as investigation will reveal that by repeating this rule, not only is food conserved, which is important at this time, but the child's health is safe guarded, which is most desirable. Your family physician will bear out the statement that cold lunches in the cold is injurious to the child. Consult
 him. Yours respectfully,
 G. E. MATTISON.

PURIFYING WATER
 BY ELECTRICITY

X machine, simple in design but claimed to be very effective in opera ton, is a late addition to apparatus available for water purification This device in it's ordinary form is intended for the home. and is designed to handle the comparatively small amounts which are required for household use
 The apparatus is electrolytic in ac- ton. The water to be purified is held in a large glass jar, into which two electropodes project. One of the cleo trodes is hollow and cylindrical in shape, while the other is a round rod and hangs within the cylinder Cur rent from an electric light socket is impressed across the electrode, re- sulting in the usual development of oxygen and hydrogen gases.
 It is stated that the impurities and organic matter in the water are thrown down in the form of a flaky precipi- tate, which settles in the bottom of the jar. After the machine has run for time, the purified water may be poured off at the top. In this simple manner, it is claimed housekeepers easily can purify any desired amount of water

UNDAUNTED
(Valdez Prospector)

If those Eastern faddists who be- lieve the human race is deteriorating could come to Alaska they would find that the genus homo has lost none of it's pristine vigor, and still remains undaunted in the face of obstacles and hardships that would put a down-east- CT out of the running. A flaw days go a lady living about twenty miles from Valdez desired to come to town to do some shopping. She could not take a car, nor could she order team hitched to a barouche or victoria and drive in. For one thing the convenient ces of modern civilization were not handy, and if they had been the six or eight feet of snow intervening be- tween her and the bargain counter would have rendered them useless.
 But nothing daunted the little lady who is somewhat slight and frail, stepped into her snowshoes and hit the trail for town. Think of the mod ern, easy-living, soft woman of the States walking twenty miles on snow shoes to get to town and store! I'm agine any of the young men of this igarette-smoking gum-chewing pe- riod, being forced to walk that distance to secure some necessity or to visit with friends! It is impossible! The effete East does not produce this kind of woman.
 Mushing all day through the heavy drifts this sturdy sample of Alaskan womanhood passed the night with a friend, and after doctoring up her badly blistered feet, owing to her be- ing compelled to wear a pair of heavy rubber boots with her snowshoes, she started back over the long trail for
