work at home, Is the general Slo-
gan Of the Nation wide Campaign.
In IRON county a campaign COM
mlttee has been busy this week,
preparing for the real active work
next week. Representatives have
been ont to the towns and villages
III the county getting captains and
committees lined up TO conduct the
campaign, and an effort will be
made to reach every person in the
county in their locality. Ii is de
sired that everybody become
member OF the Red Cross, and each
person is urged to donate as much
as they are able. The membership
fee is Sl.00. and each person pay
ing that sum will receive a mem
berShip card. But as the campaign
next week is to he more for the
purpose of securing donations for
the Red Cross fund, each person
should give as literally as possible.
As stated above, 500, 900, 900
will be raised throughout the Uni
ted States next week. Wisconsin 5
share of this sum is s., 500 900,
of which 500, 600 has been appor-
toned to the city of Milwaukee.
The share of the amount allotted
to the state which Iron county will
be expected TO raise has not been
announced, but the campaign man
ayers have set ont To make the sum
as large as possible. It's an OPP
portunity for everybody to do their
bit towards the present war,
and it is hoped that loyalty will not
be lacking in Iron county.
An Iron county chapter of the
Red Cross was organized a few
weeks ago. The officers are:
Dr c. c. Urquhart, chairman.
Vic Simon, vice-chairman.
Mrs James Davis. secretary.
w $. Reynolds. treasurer.
The committee which will have
charge of the campaign and do the
soliciting is comprised of L. Nj
Hardenhurgh, chairman II +.
Egan, Capt. Frank Lukey, S. M
Rautio and Charles Boniuo.
The American Red Cross society
has undertaken this stupendous
task of raising 100000 900 for the
of establishing and equip
ping COnvalesCent and base hOspit-
ais on foreign soil before our bows
are sent to the front. II an uu-
of extreme magnitude
and hardly able of comprehension
by the ordinary person.
Zach hospital unit requires scores
OF physicians and surgeons, nurses
and hundreds of attendants, and
more than score of these units
will be established. 1t takes money
and lots of it to establish and equip
a hospital unit at the war front,
and the money all comes from pop
utar subscriptions and donations.
But before our boys are sent to do
battle with the foe, it is essential
that means be provided for the care
of the wounded and sick, and this
is what the Red Cross society has
to do. To assist in
raising this fund IS a duty which
every American citizen owes to his
country. When Iron county Citi-
zens are approached, don't lie penu-
rious. but give as much as YOU are
financially able, and at least pay
the membership fee and become
member of this great organization
The American Red Cross Society.

Dent Keep Your Savings
in a Sock

Before the advent of the Savings
Bank, people who had thrift enough
to save, resorted to all sorts of ex-
pedients to house and hide their saw
ings. A wool sock was a favorite
abiding place for the surplus cash.
A tin box hid under a plank in the
floor was another Behind picture
frames and in old clocks were often
the secret repositories. And even
today with all the educational adver-
tising the banks of our country are
doing, these improvident methods of
provincialism still exist. The money
lies dormant and insecure, and with
no earning power. Placed in the
Savings Department of this Bank
the savings are secure, immune from
theft. and become a steady earning
power. Start an account today, add
to it regularly, and prepare for a
rainy day.

UNDERWORLD PROBLEM.
Probably never before in the

Probably never before In the
tory of the United States has the
the controversy over the redlight
districts, the stingaree, and the ''un
derworld" been so boldly and openly
discussed in the press and pulpit as
within the past year. 1t has seeming"
ly gotten to be fad Of the faddists
There may be every reason in the
world, and there probably is, for the
extreme methods pursued for the er
adication, or attempted eradication,
little higher class OF practises known
as the social evil" or unlawful CO.
habitation among the higher classes.
In San Francisco they are as much
wrought up, and the subject is as
openly discussed. In the Golden Gate
city public meetings are called, and
the underworld conditions of that
place discussed in their entirety.
The Magdalenes of the place are as
much wroughtupover the question as
the moral squad, and few days ago
they attended in a body, several hun
dred strong ,one OF the leading church
es of the city where the pastor was
to discuss the stingaree problem.
The Magdalenes had their own speak
er, a brilliant and talented woman
from their own number, and after
listening to the other side she arose
and asked, "But what are you going
to do with us-how will We get our
bread and butter-when We are driv-
en- from our business? Surely you
will not drive us from our occupa
tons without providing us some
other way to make a living?" This
stt the moral squad to thinking and
talking about what must be done to
meet this argument of the Magdal-
enc. Sincs then this has been dis
cussed in the press from Maine to
California and from the Canadian
boundary to New Orleans, for every
community of dense population has
its own local problems to solve

MONEY FOR MINES.

1t is a well-estabIshed principle of
economics that capita is only CAPT
tai when it is reproducing itself, Idle
money is no capital, although it
possesses the potentialities of capital
A palace situated in the midst of
an uninhabitable desert is shorn of
its value, and a gold dollar which
is not in some measure operative in
channels of business is useless
trinket, of no service to it's owner.
Capital, therefore, symbolizes acti-
witty and to- be a capitalist is to use
ones means as an agency of construc
tive effort. It is the temporary sup
preston of the will to act, as repre-
sented by the forces of capital,
that creates stagnation of business.
OF America are swollen with deposits,
when labor is employed at high
wages and the money of the country
is more wideyl distributed than usual
among the people, the constructive
energy of capital creates an newt
able prosperity. Possessors of money
or banking credit may for a long time
presume to rest upon their former
achievements, but they cannot long
remain so. They are driven by the
very law of their existence to release
their means into the channels of con-
structive effort. Thus We have the
assurance htat American enterprise
is opening out upon a period of splen-
did activity. The present era of in
vestment has scarcely begun. None
of the symptoms of weakness which
Indicate the dangers of Over-eXpan-
sion have yet appeared. American
investors are clearly turning their
attention to those fields of industry
and profit which are most inviting
Now after the war the constructive
opportunities of the west, where
mining is the great basic industry,

abounding energy which the potential
capital of the country represents.
American capital will not go largely
to Europe to participate in the re-
constructionof the war-desolated ma
tions. America is not half grown
and our own citizens are keenly con-
sc'Ous of this fact On the other
hand, the possessors of capital in
America are familiar with the DO lit
ical conditions under which invest
merts are made at home. They
have a voice i'm their own public af-
fairs, which gives them confidence
in their domestic opportunities

HOW TO FILE
ON HOMESTEAD
RECENT ACT OF CONGRESS PER
MiTS TAKING UP $40 ACRES
GRAZING AND RAISING FORAGE
CROPS.

The following is of interest to peo-
pie proposing to take up land under
the new act entitled "An Act to pro-
vide misunderstanding Homesteads
and for Other Purposes"
l. The provisions of the law per-
mits the entry Of GAO acres of non
irrigable,N non-timbered land chiefly
valuable for grazing and raising for
age crops by any qualified entryman-
The bill does not apply to all public
lands, but only to such areas as are
suited largely for stockraising pur-
poses. The interior department. will
later designate the areas that may be
entered under this act
2. AT the presnet time it is i'm
possible to give specific information
as to the location of the areas that
will subsequently be designated for
entry. In general, it may be stated
Rocky Mountain states and westward.
A personal inspection of the lands
sought to be entered lis the only sat
isfactOry mannerin which a prospec-
tive entryman can fully inform him
self as to the relative worth of the
lOnd.
3. To acquire title to a homestead
under this act an entryman must re-
side upon theland not less than three
years and make permanent improve
ments thereon to increase its value
for stOckraising purposes of the value
of not less than SIPS per acre, one
half OF which must be placed on the
date of entry Cultivation of the land
is not required. Communication of en-
try is not allowed.
4. If a homestead entryman has
heretofore xehausted his homestead
rights tby securing title to 160 acres
of land inthehumid regions, this
640-acre homestead actdoes not re-
store his rights nor permit him to
enter an additional homestead The
theory OF the law lis that only one
homestead may be taken by an indi-
vidual entryman. Of course, if the
homestead was lost because of mat
ters beyond control of an entryman,
he can apply to make a second entry
under the act of September 5, 1914
(38 Stat, 712) or if the land here
tofore entered was stockraising land,
and SHAH be designated as such by
the secretaryof the interior, then and
IN that event an additional entry can
be made within twenty miles of the
original entry, but not elsewhere.
Legislation known as the" Ferris bill"
Oh. R. 8492) is now pending looking
to the restoration of the homestead
rights Eof those who vhae heretofore
bought Indian land. This bill has
already passed the house and is now
pending in theUnited States senate.

dor department designates the areas
that may be entered under the law

to enter is land of the character de

THE NO MANS
LAND TRACT
DISPUTED TERRITORY ALONG
SANTA FE, EMBRACING BLYTHE
Jc., PRESENTED TO SAN BER-
NARDiNO COUNTY.

Through arrangements made by
Prosecuting Attorney Duckworth of
San Bernardino county and District
Attorney Lyman Evans of Riverside
county, the disputed territory lying
along the boundary line between the
two counties, which includes Blythe
Junction, has been assigned to San
Bernardino county for judicial pur-
poses, and hereafter the law breakers
of that territory will be handled by
the San Bernardino county officials.
This strip of country along the
boundary line between San Bernar-
dino and Riverside counties reaches
from the Colorado river, and has bee
locally known as "No Mans Land"
for the reason that the exact location
of the county line has never been
established. 1t was a source of much
annoyance to the officers of both San
Bernardino and Riverside counties
for it embraced nearly every station
along the Santa Fe railroad between
Parker and Cadez, and these small
town for some time past have been
more or lessinfested with gambling
joints and bootleggers. Whenever
there weer arrests made for vio-
lation of the law in any of these
placesit was necessary for officials
from both counties to make the ar
rests in order that the question of
Jurisdiction of the arresting officer
might not be legally raised. This
was very annoying from the fact that
neither the officers from Riverside
nor San Bernardino counties cared to
assume Jurisdiction.
When Riverside county was formed
out of San Diego and San Bernardinc
counties, the law fixing the northern
boundary line of Riverside county was
made to read that it's northern boun-
dary line should run parallel with
the international boundary line be-
tween Mexico and the United States.
This so happened that the northern
boundary line of Riverside county
ran in diagonal line from southwest
to northeast and did not follow the
standard parallel line of government
surveys as it perhaps was intended.
And the survey fixing the county line
between the two counties has not
been officially made farther than
point near the Dale postoffice
mo Mans Land" has for the past
four or five years been the scene of
much open violation of the liquor
laws. Illegal whisky selling joints
were numerous and the sale of in
toxlcants and gambling was carried
ON in an open and high-handed man
ner. The officers of both counties
have made frequent raids in that ter
r1tory andf n their drag nets have
pulled in many violator of the law,
butnosooner would they get out of
jail or pay their fine than they would
return to the same old occupation.
AT one particular time, when there
were seventeen inhabitants of Blythe
junction, fifteen of them were arrest
ed and taken to San Bernardino and
plead guilty to violations 'of the law.
1t wasgreatly through the efforts

torney of this place. that the present
arrangement of San Bernardino coun-
ty assuming jurisdiction over "No
Mans Land" was made.-Blythe Re-
