MINING NOTES

William A. Havner, a miner from
 the Broad Pass country, has conferred with officials of the A. E. C. in regard to shipping antimony ore from his claims during the coming winter. Hav- ner has been mining antimony, which
 he discovered in 1914, but the lack of
 trails and water transortation has pre- vented shipping any of it to the shelter, He hopes to make arrangemnts with the Commission to handle his product between his claims and Indian river this winter, provided work is carried on in that vicinity by commission forces. At present Havner has over p tons of ore ready to be shipped and if trans portation arrangements can be made, he hopes to get out 100 tons or more during the fall and winter. The ore from his mine, according to govern ment assay, runs 6S per cent, and would bring between $275 and $500 a ton f. O. b. tide water. When discOv- cred the antimony lay in thin blan- ket. but since the vein has been fol- lowed, it has been found to have dip

Every one, suppose, feels a certain
amount OF loyalty towards his own call
ing. always liked that word, calling" d"
as though We really did obey some inner
call OF our nature for our life work. So
It makes me indignant when / find the
life Of the studios. One letter from a
mother says:
No matter what her talent might be,
could never consent to letting my
daughter enter into moving picture work
have heard that the studios are very
dangerous for the young"
Now perhaps I am all wrong, but do
firmly believe that morality and plain
everyday goodness must lie In your own
heart, and be strong enough to over
come the influence of any environment
or course that sounds like the motive Of
all our best pictures-the triumph of vir-
tue over evil-but I do believe in it. A
boy or girl, man or woman, who has an
evil nature, or one in which bad rules
Will do wrong in any place where fate
may cast him. and a boy or girl, man or
woman. who has a strong will and firm
character, will resist and throw of evil
In any environment he may be placed in.
The motion picture studios were among
the first organizations to adopt a strict
rule of conduct for their workers. Pro-
family and intemperance have DISCHARGED
more men than any Incompetence. And
there Is a powerful esprit de CORDS that
indehnable spirit of the regiment" that
binds all together for the common uplift
and veal. You feel II when you go into
any of the big places. And there is al
ways some older woman who literally
mothers the young girls and chaper-
ones them.
I know, too, that the personality Of the
different women stars has helped to raise
the standards of morality in the various
studios. I remember hearing OF one little
place up In the Bronx in New York City,
a branch Of one of our larger firms
Five years ago during the taking of a
picture there, heard an actor who was
in 1t tell Of how they would all send out
after beer and lunches. and have a gem

some friends of ours. ana she would wait

sometimes. only to have him come half
or fully intoxicated. and give as his ex-
cuse the terrible strain it was to work
in pictures.
Today that studio Is one OF the strict
est and best run. And talking it over
with a man who had been a director
there, l heard him say:
WELL tell you, it used to be n pretty
happy-go-lucky crowd there. but the
leaks began to tell, and the efficiency
squad got busy and cleaned 1t up. Then
little Miss Grey came up and she did the

playing. for she is the gentIest, incest
girl imaginable. And a studio takes its
cue, gets its keynote, from its head.
Then again, every studio today has
several mothers on guard in It 1 know
that sounds very comical. but It is Just
that Nearly every child actress has a
guardian mother. and many Of the
younger stars have their mothers with
them constantly. You go into a studio
during the taking Of a picture, and just
watch the mothers sitting around for all
the world as they used to do at some old
Southern dance. when there was a special
platform for the chsperones. And you
may be sure that these mothers keep
just as sharp an eye over other girls as
they do over their own.
Last of all, l am sure that satan is an
inveterate idler, for work always seems
to scare MIN away. And Of all places in
the world, a motion picture studio is
where you are worked to your full ca
pacity hour after hour. But I will say
this for them. They may not be the
traps that the outside world irnAgines
them to be. but they are surely Cupids
favorite hunting ground. You hear of
more romances and marriages in studios
than any place else. and the life is so
different from the old wandering. unset
tied stage careers, that 1t does make
weddings popular.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is we'll kept
to judge of woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one of the few
who try to make the most Of your
hair, remember that it is not advls-
able to wash the hair with any clean
ser made for all purposes, but always
use some good preparation made cX-
pressly for shampoing. You can en-
Joy the very best by getting some
cannthrox from your druggist, dissolve
a teaspoonful in a cup Of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough SO it is easy to apply
1t to all the hair instead of just the
top of the head. Dandruff, excess
oil, and dirt are dissolved and en-
tirely disappear. Your hair will be
so fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. Its luster and soft
ness will also delight you, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-DdV.

WANTED F0RI0FF|CERS.
AGE LIMIT FOR TRAINING
CAMPS MISUNDERSTOOD.
Under Thirty-one VIII be
Given Fullest of Consideration, De.
partment Says.

Washington, July 5.--Convinced
that many desirable men are holding
back their applications for, the sec
Ond officers training camp because of
misconception of the requirements,
Adj. Gen. Mccain issued a statement
tonight making it clear that "intelli-
gent and forcefur' men are wanted
even if they are under 81 years of age
and without military training.
The previous statement Of the war
department that it will be difficult for
men within the draft age or without
military experience to gain admission
to the camps has resulted, officials be-
lieve, in an impression that applica-
tiOns from such men will not be con-
sidered. On the contrary, it is point
ed, those of demonstrated executive
ability in civilian pursuits, ranging i'm
age from 25 upward, are a type earn
estly desired.
Gen. McCain's statement was given
out through the public information
committee with a. request that, the
newspapers give it prominence be-
cause success Of the second camp
series depends on correction of the
prevailing misconception.
1t follows:
1.-The statement that mature men
will be given preference Tor the Sec
ond series of officers training camps
seems to have been misunderstood i'm
some quarters. This preference will
only apply where qualifications are
equal. There is no intention to bar
out applications by men under 81. In
fact, examining officers have been in
structed to regard the ages 25 to S5
as the most suitable. There is also
some misunderstanding about the nec-
essity Of previous military experience.
The government is looking primarily
for intelligent and forceful men and
military experience, though desirable,
is not strictly necessary"
Applications for these camps will
close July Is. Army officials are
showing some concern over the few
applications received thus far. In the
New York district, for instance, where
it was expected 10000 or more appli-
cants would present themselves. less
than 1000 have applied.

FARM BANK LOANS.
ABOUT $12,OOO,OOO REPRESENTED
IN ASSOCIATIONS.
Authorities Gratified at Wide Spread
Distribution OF Loans Over the
Country.

Washington, July 5.-Approxi-
mately $12.OOO.OOO of first mortgage
loans to farmers at S per cent. are
represented by charters to farm loan
associations approved by the federal
farm loan board up to July /. These
loans are now being made through
the IL federal land banks which were
established under the federal farm
loan act. The legislation creating
these banks was enacted less than a
year ago.
The number OF farm loan associa-
tions chartered up to July / was 23O
and the exact total of money asked
for by these asso ciations was SILL
661.9O5. The average amount asked
for by each association was slightly in
excess of $4,000. The average num-
ber of farmers in the 23O associations
chartered was approximately 49,
making the average size loan thus far
made about $2,5OO.
Most of the loans thus far made
run for &c years and are retired on
the amortization or partial payment
plan by semi-annual payments
amounting to per cent. per annum.
Under the arrangements provided by
this legislation 6 per cent. annual pay
ment made by the borrower retires
both the principal and interest.
Members of the federal farm loan
board expressed qualification over the
equal distribution of the business
throughout the United States, and spe-
cial qualification was felt \ over the
fact that the states of high land val
ues are making good use Of the fed
eral farm loan system as indicated by
the large volume Of loans in Indiana
Illinois. Nebraska, Kansas. Minnesota
and Oklahoma. Even in the New
England States where farm loan in
terest rates have been lowest the fed
eral land banks are making, good
headway. the hln applications, not
yet acted upon, at the Springfield
Mass. bank amounting to nearly $4,.
100000. The IL land banks have
pending, but not yet approved, appli.
cations for loans amounting to nearly
500. 900, 900.

NEGRO KILLED WITH PITCHFORK
Newberry County Farmer i'm Alterca-
ton in Hay Field Uses Implement
With Fatal Results.

Newberry, July 5.-Hugh Wilson. q
white farmer living six miles east of
Newberry in Caldwell township. kill
ed Colin Morgan, negro, today about
noon with a pitchfork while they were
working together in a hay field some
distance from the house, no other per-
son being present. Wilson's statement
is that while working they fell out.
that the negro struck him with n
grass blade cutting his leg, that he
struck the negro on the head with a
pitchfork, that the negro struck at
him again and he responded with an.
other and harder blow on the head
and the negro fell. Wilson then hur-
ried to the house and called DIR.
Moore. When they went to the field
the negro was dead. his skull having
been crushed by the blows.
Wilson came to town and surrend.
cred to the sheriff. The coroner.s
jury found that Morgan came to his
death at the hands Of Wilson and
that the homicide was justified. Will
son is in jail. but will apply for bail.
