Colorado Central TO
Open Virgin Ground

The manager of the Colorado
Central reports satisfactory pro-
gress, the result being the opening
up of large bodies of both smelling
and milling ote.
Machinery is now being installed
preparatory to sinking the main
shaft an additional 1000 feet. This
will open up virgin ground equal
to that from which many millions
of dollars have been produced in
the past, and as the lowest level in
the mine shows large streaks of
solid ore which milled $50 ounces
in silver, and 35 percent in lead
per ton. it is fair to anticipate that
the ore measures extend downward
to very mnch greater depth.
The great ore bodies which this
property undoubtedly embraces
will then be opened up and de-
veloped as rapidly as possible.

the negative bv the Sophomores
represented bv George Snvder and
Oscar Anderson. hough
neither class knew anything about
debating before this occasion arose,
all the participants did very good
work. The judges were Mr..

ChiIdren'S Welfare
UpFOr Discussion

the years of ten and sixteen is the
hardest problem for both mother
and child they will ever be called
upon to solve." said DR.. Clymer.
discussing the subject before the
w. c. T. L. meeting with Mrs. W.
L. Baker Wednesday afternoon.
AT this age, continued DIR.
Clymer, the child is misunderstood.
The world does not understand
them. The parents do not under
stand them. He does not under
stand himself. Then the world
begins to look different, and he
begins to think for himself
Robert Fultons mind was SO
full of original notions that there
was no room to store away the
contents of dusty books. This
greatly distressed the teacher who
spared not the d. Just case
of a great mind misunderstood.
In my opin on" continued the
speaker, the best way to be a help
to your child during this trying
period is to be a companion to
your boy or girl. Show an interest
in his affairs. Never. be too tired
or too busy to listen to what he
has to say. Remember, mothers,
these will be the most profitable
moments of all your life. Have
heart to-heart talk with him now
and then
This excellent talk further ad-
monished parents, "Jf possible,
keep the children occupied with
something worth while. 'Occupa-
ton is the armor of the soul.
The ruin of most fallen men dates
from some vacant hour"
Another piece of splendid advice
was, Avoid, as far as possible,
the habit of nagging. We know
this is often done by the loving
mothers through anxiety to have
their children perfect. Constant
nagging is the cause of many boys
at this age wanting to leave home" :"
On young folks reading, DR..
Clymer said, "Have them cultivate
a taste for good reading in the
beginning. Reading too much
light literature or trashy fiction
usurps thought, instead of feeding
it"
This helpful paper further dealt
with the valuation of time, and OF
struggle and of various other
phases of this period of adolescence
which has been a trial In many
homes. The above are but few
excerpts from an address appre.
ciated by the thirty or more ladies
present.
Rev. Benz. Eitelgeorge gave a
talk which found for him a
place in the inner thoughts of his
hearers. We shall be glad to give
it to you later.
Mrs. Baker served dainty re.
freshments, closing a profitable
afternoon.
The next meeting is to be held
at the school house and will be
for the fathers as we'll as for the
mothers, for every father is eager
for any light that can be thrown

HauquitZ Opens Fine
Body Of SIS Ore

Arthur Hauquitz and associates
have opened upa fine body of ore in
their lease on the 600 foot level on
the Gem-east of the shaft This
drift had been driven some time
ago by parties who followed small
streak on the footwall side of the
vein and left what was supposed
to be- the hanging wall. Mr..
Hauquitz concluded that is was
not the true hanging wall and
started to crosscut, and the first
shots fred exposed streak of ore
from II to 1S inches wide that
carries a value of $35 per ton.
This ore was encountered about
500 feet from the shaft and has
been stripped for a distance of
more than 100 feet.

EIGHT "DRUNKs" AT MoBERLY

All Moberly's treasury needs to fill
it with the coin of the realm is more
saloons. With only ten saloons in
operation, eight DRINKS were fed
through the Moberly police Thursday,
and some $64 sifted into the City Hail
vaults.
With a sharp pencil and a very
small piece of paper any n out of
the first grade can readily Demon
strate that if the city had 200 saloons,
the police court would be able to ex-
tract $1,000 each morning instead of
a measly $64. Let's all get together

David H. Robertson, the popular

for Fl. Sheridan, near Chicago, where
he will attend the second officers
training camp.
AS a token of affection and appre-
citation, members of the Mexico bar
presented Mr.. Robertson with a
beautiful wrist watch Friday after
noon. Prosecuting Attorney R. D.
Rodgers, who made the presentation
on behalf of the lawyers, told Mr.
Robertson that if he is as true and
as faithful to his country as he has
always been to his professional asso-
c%iates, his country would be much the
winner because of his joining the col

who came Saturday. Only two of
the first fifteen examined failed 10
pass physically, and most of those
who passed had a near perfect rec
ord.
While there is no way telling, it is
thought that the men on the third
call, which was posted Friday after
noon, will not be in either the
first, second or third contingent TO
go to training camp. The local
board will not know till complete re-
ports from the District Board come
in just how Audrain County stands.
1t is even probable that some on
the second call will not be included.

Seven of the 100 men who were no.
titled on the second call to appear
for examination before. the Audrain
County Exemption Board did not ap-
pear. However, the great American
habit of carelessness is the cause
of some of these who are really patri-
OTIS being placed in the Stacker"
list. 1t is certain that some Of them
r already in the service, and posi-
BILE others had good excuses for not
coming; but carlessness on their part
may be the cause of them being certi-
fled to the Army.
The selective draft law states that
all men must account to the local
board, regardless of whether they
have joined some branch of army SER
vice since Registration Day, June 5.
The man himself is held responsible
for the accounting.
Local boards certify the names of
those who failed to appear to the dis
trict board, which certified them to the
State Adjutant General. Newspa-
pers have been requested to publish
these names, so that those who are
evading the draft may be found and
that those already in the service will
see their status and take steps to as
sist the Adiutant General in clearing
their records.
