CHEWING GUM
CHEERS SOLDIERS

News that the proponents of a ma
tion.wide prohibition measure should
gravely consider comes from Britain,
where, 1t is alleged, many munition
workers, deprived of their regular al.
lowance of alcoholic stimulant, have
taken to chewing cordite, which pro-
duces sort Of hashish exhilaration
with terrific reaction.
In line with this report, but afford
ing an agreeable Offset, is Lord North.
cliffe's comment upon the missionary
work for chewing gum done by Ameri-
can soldiers in the entente armies. He
says that the habit of gum chewing
while under the heavy strain OF trench
life is growing among the soldiers.
This Is easily understood by ruminat.
ing Yankees who find that in many
crises the mastication of chicle cheers
but does not inebriate.
Gum chewing might we'll become the
safety valve of temperament II pro.
hibition became general and bone dry
laws were enforced. II Is well known
that the tendency to do something
wicked and forbidden Is inherent In
the human breast, and II this tendency
is suppressed in one direction it will
break out In another-as, for example,
In cordite chewing. Thus In order to
make gum chewing popular and a sub
stitute for drinking and smoking, 1t
must first be established as vice. As
virtue it will appeal to very few.
1t remains, therefore, for Chicago,
which takes justifable pride In be-
ing the chewing gum capital of the
world, to begin forward drive to
give chewing gum the status of vice.
Then it will receive ready acceptance

The Bankers Journal has had a
number of inquiries relative to the
Golden Bell Mining Company. its prop.
critics its management and the posi-.
bilities of profitable investment in its
stock In order that the reader may
have an intelligent idea of the charac-
ter of the enterprise 1t may be said
that the company owns and is dill.
gently developing 80 claims. besides
townsite acreage, in perhaps the great.
est copper district on earth, located in
Arizona, directly across the ella river
from the Ray Consolidated. one of the
notable copper properties of America.
An investigation by this journal has
brought to light the fact that the of.
ferng submitted to the investing pub.
lie by this company is most unusual
in its merits.
In the first place. the officials of the
company have spent between 100000
and $4,000 in development work. for
labor and machinery. Those who are
well posted in such matters will rec
ognize the fact that this is unusual
and is not the case with the average
mining enterprise
Secondly. the Golden Bell Mining
Company was organized in 1910 under
the blue sky laws of Arizona. It is
capitalized for $1,000 900, and its
shares have a par value of 81 each.
' Only enough of the stock is being sold

oping the property. Therefore this is

often the case with mining enter.
prises.
| When It is taken into consideration
that the Ray Consolidated Copper
Company was organized In 1907 and
that II is today a s16.000.00O corpora
ton and is said to have paid $7.65 per
share dividend in 1916. and when II
is further understood that the Golden
Bell Mining Company's property Is
practically adjoining that of the Ray
and possesses all the possibilities of
the Ray. II is hard to reach any other
conclusion than the one indicated In
the heading of this article-Golden
Bell promises extraordinary returns.
AS matter Of plain fact. The Bank.
ers Journal believes this is one of the
most unusual investment opportuni.
ties that has been offered to the Chi.
cago public for some time. II carries
both safety and the possibilities Of
huge profits at the same time-a rare
combination.
The men who have financed the en-
terprise so far are experienced in the
copper mining business. They would
not risk their money In this manner
without feeling certain of substantial
returns. Not only so, but they are
men of high character and are worthy

 Boys Department.
 Two features of the boys work stand out in the years program as achievements worth while to tn, boys of the city and state. One was the Older Boys conference conduct ed by an organized committee of boys with the help of adult advice. Boys from the churches, scout organ : izstions and Y. M. G. As of the state gathered in New Britain for three days, conference. Before the close of the gathering dozens, of boys had taken a stand for Christian living and all left inspired to do service for Christ through their various organ izations.
 Another noteworthy work for boys took the form of the High School club which has enrolled most of the boys of the three upper classes in a pro- gram of clean speech, clean living and clean athletics. One need only to confer with the school authorities to learn the results of this organization. In. fact the news of what this organi- zation has accomplished has spread and other High schools about the state are seeking information with the idea of organizing similar clubs among their boys.
 Bible Study clubs, religious meet ings. educational clubs, outings and observation tours, suppers and socials have been the means of giving over 300 boys an opportunity for all round development as they have grown and developed under Christian influences.
 War Zone Secretary.
 AS an outgrowth of last years an niversary the members and friends of the Y. M. c. A. responded to the call for help in extending the N. M. c. A. work in the war zone and contrib uted enough money to send MT. E. J. Simonds to an army post for this work. It must be a cause of satis- faction to every giver to this fund to know that he has helped in this good cause
 Today we are sobered with the realization that our own young men
  recognize the need for the Y. M. c. A. among men at peace. It is doubly easy to picture the need for moral and social help to be given the millions of men who will be concentrated in training camps and perhaps later will take their place on the firing lines. The restrictions and conventionahties of home will be removed, there will be times of idleness and the forces of evil will be present to tempt men.
 Recognizing this call for service the Y. M. c. As of the country are raising war fund and are sending out men who have volunteered to fol- low the army.
 Connecticut is to raise @l6O,OOo as its share for this work, and New Brit ain will doubtless to it's part to keep it's own boys and it's neighbors from the needless waste of moral charac- ter should our young men be left without the forces of Christianity which can bo powoe6uly exprSased
