Tomorrow being Easter Sunday, the churches will have elaborate ceremonies which usually mark this celebration. By the way, upon the authority of one of the local Hebrew fathers the Jewish Pasch commenced on Thursday night. This was the original Easter celebration marking the flight of the 1sraelites from Egypt when they left the land of the Pharoahs for the Promised Land. The older ritual being sub stituted under Christianity by the feast of the Resurrection. This is a particularly important festival in the Greek Church.

covered about 3 a. m. and at 6 a. m.
the building had been gutted and men
began razing the walls to prevent ac-

veloped in flames when discovered.
The department worked well and soon
had good streams of water playing
on the flames but without effect. The
loss is placed at $25,OOO on the build

ALMOST PURE LEAD AND JACK
The Merrill Mine Reveals Rich
) FornatiOn-C Company Builds
Mills to Care for Ore

Ninety-six per cent jack and
eighty-two per cent lead is the assay
record of some of the dirt taken out
Of the 120 foot tract of the l.. d.
Brewster land which is under lease
by the Merrill mining company of
Kansas City.
The jack which assayed so rich was
in the form of crystalized ore and it
was almost presmatic. The average
assay record of the ore in this mine is
higher than many others. This land
Is located southwest of Baxter
Springs and it is owned by a Bax-
terite.
The Merrill Mining company is
capitalized at $75O,OOO and has come
to this mining field, with bag and
baggage to stay. They were the first
mining concern to put up a lodge for
the members and the firm near the
mine and another for their workmen,
and the mine operators.
The ore bodies were encountered in
the drill on this tract nearly at the
100 foot level. In one hole the drill
cuttings indicated a al foot face of
lead and directly under it a 20 foot
face of jack. The average assay for
the sixty-fOur feet or ore was twelve
per cent.
The members of the company are
W. E. Merrill, president; G. Huttig,
secretary and treasurer; A. c. Wal
lace, vice-president; Dick Vance is a
member of the company.

SIX AND HALF BILLION
POUNDS Of MEAT FOOD
City and County United Can
Produce This Vast Amount
in Form of Poultry
and Eggs
Continued on last page.)

If poultry production is doubled
next year, as is readily possible with
this city and country cooperation, we
viii have 6,50000O,00O pounds of
meat food, in the form of poultry and
eggs. This will release almost that
many pounds of other meats-pork
and beef-for our armies in Europe,
and for the armies and civilian pop
ulations of the Allies.
If we do not produce this amount
of poultry we may find ourselves
short of meat food to just that ex-
tent.
1t is a patriotic duty of the utmost
Importance that every farmer and ev-
cry person in town do his part in pro-
ducing this increase of poultry, which
will help to win the war. 1t is also
n profitable proposition for the aver
age individual. Both town and farm
families will produce, at its lowest
cost. meat food for their own use. and
By putting up eggs for winter use,
will further reduce living expenses.
The poultry will be handled as a
by-product of the farm and backyard
each flock being large enough in
numbers to utilize the scraps and
waste from the "pick-ups" around
the place, supplemented by some
feed. But no flock should be out Of
proportion to the ground space and
kitchen wastage-not so large that
feed will become, relatively, too cost
ly an item. The idea is not only to
increase our poultry production, but
to do it economically; to do it at very
little cost, by turning the waste Of
kitchens and backyards all over the
United States into chickens and eggs.
Fowls are the only medium through
which a good deal Of this waste can
be transformed into a valuable food
product.

NO FIJR[OUGHS
FOR CHRISTMAS
WAR DEPARTMENT ORDER
GIVES DISAPPOINTMENT
TO FUNSTON BOYS
ALL MUST REMAIN IN CAMP
10 Per Cent Of the Men in Camp
Had Expected to be Per-
mitted to Return Home
for the Holidays

Camp Funston, Kas., Dec. 15-The
last hopes of the men Of the Eighty
ninth Division who had expected to
20 home for the Christmas holidays
in spite of the rumors that no fur
loughs were to be issued were stilled
today by the receipt of official word
from Washington that all men should
remain in camp.
Originally the announcement was
made by division headquarters that
10 per cent of each unit would be
granted Christmas leave, selecting
those to 60 from the ones who had
not gone home for Thanksgiving and
who had good records. The stipula-
tion was also made that round trip
tickets must be shown before fur
loughs would be given.
The result was excellent behavior
to qualify and a general restriction
Of the usual free spending of the day
handed out a few days ago. Atten-
tion is now centered on the Christmas
celebration and the receipt of Christ
mas packages.
The program for the afternoon is
complete with sack races, centipede
races, jousting contests, tug-of-war,
push-ball game, turkey shoots, bronco
busting, roping and tying contests.
