Our Hats Are Off
(FROM GULFPORT HERALD

The credit Of the good roads in
beats / and 3 in Stone county
which is known as the Centenni-
az Highway is due nearly alto
gether to efforts of DR.. SWitzer
and Senator A. w. Bond, men,
bers of the board of supervisors
Of that county, said J. G. Ross,
this morning.
On this road the surfacing is
80 feet wide, permitting three
autos to go abreast at good speed
without damage, and where
drains cross it, culverts made Of
heavy timbers are to be seen.
Before the construction of the
road begun every modern facility
building was bougth which min
jmized it's cost.
The difference between the
Harrison county section of this
road and that in Stone county,
said Mr.. Ross, is the difference
one sees on a railroad tarin pass
ing over SO pound rails and then
over rails weighing 90 pound,
and any travelling man knows
what this difference is.

100 Hens For Every
Farm In State

Agricultural College, Aug. s.
"A hundred hens en- every farm,
was the slogan of the sixth day
of the county agents and spe-
cialiSt now in session at the Miss
issippi A. and M. College which
was devoted exclusively to pOuI-
try, with Prof. e. p, Clayton Of
the poultry department of the
college. Miss Susie V. Powell,
state home demonstration agent,
and Miss Lula Tunison, poultry
specialist, as the principal spea-
kers. Prof. Clay ton in discussing
the possibilities Of the poultry
business III Mississippi, stated
that he did not necessarily advo-
cate poultry farming" for every
farm but that every farmer in
Mississippi has place COR at least
IOn hundred hens on his farm.
He showed thatthe average flock
of chickens pays for itself and
furnishes a surplus for the fam,
ilv. He also showed t he imDOr-
tance of raising poultry, so that
they would strike the high mar
ket price during the first of the
year, and of getting the egg pro
duction during the latter part of
the year.
Miss Susie Y. Powell, traced
the development Of the home de-
monstration work from 1911
when the force consisted of the
state agent and two assistants
until the present force Of county
agents and three assistant state
agents. She showed that the OBJ
iect of the york was to bring the
farm woman closer to her home
and cited instances where pOul-
try had been the means of win
ming the confidence Of the Wom-
en- and Of placing money in the
rands of the family. Miss Powell
stated that it was of theltmOst
importance to standardize poul-
try products as well as the other
products of the farm. According
to Miss Powell, the co operation
of the county and home demon
stration forces Of the state
means the accomplishment Of
the greatest work in the state,
that of educating the women Of
the farm to the comforts Of home
life.
Miss Lula Tunison, who has
charge of fhe poultry club work
of the state, then showed the
work ofthe poultry organizations.
At present there are over 2000l
junior members enrolled in these
clubs and these have been the
means of bringing over 10000
pure bred chickens into the.
state.
She advises the agents to advo-
cate raising chickens rather than
buying a pen Of hens, thus
avoiding the disappointment
that is likely to follow when the
inexperienced person tries to
raise pure bred stock.

made business visit to j. M.
Alexander's last Thursday.
The revival meeting at Alexan-
der Memorial Church closed on
Thursday night. Rev. Sells did
some of the most able preach
ing during this meeting that we
have heard for sometime. We
are glad to note that the church
was built up, and souls added to
the Kingdom of God.
Rev. Paul Grice, is holding a
protracted meeting at Pine
Grove, in Jackson County, with
Rve. J. E. Jones to assist him.
Protracted meeting begins on
Sunday August 12, at Mt Zion
Church. Two sermons Sunday.
dinner will be served on the
grounds. Every body invited to
attend.
Mrs. Grice, of Lawrence
County is spending some time
W it'll her son, Rev. Paul Grice.
There are several boys and
some married men called from
our part of the county to be ex-
amined in Wiggins on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, of
this week for war. There are
others who are scared in an inch
of their life for fear they will be
called before the war is over.
There are some parents who
think that their boys are too
good to fight for their country.
But we believe there should be
no favors shown, the rich mans
boy should have to fight in the
trenches the very same as the
poorest. In most instances the
poor boy stands for more good
in his community, county and
country, than do the boys of the
upper ten; or the well-to-do in
dollars and cents. 1t has been
said, that it takes all kind of
people to make up the world;
now whether it takes them or
not, they are here. How some
people talk about the war, and
what our boys should do is a
fright, for people who claim to
he Americans, they don't seem
to care for anyone but self.
Should Uncle Sam happen to
send someone to see them, they
might be surprised. Let's stand
by our country, and best of all
let's stand for the right, and
put our trust in Him who said,
whatsoever com eth unto me I
will in nowise cast out"

Traffic Record Established

Surprising all records made in re-
cen years, 1000 freight cars were
moved over the Sacramento division
of the Southern Pacific a few days
ago. Over half the cars were east
bound with California fruit. If all
the cars were placed in one train it
would be 15H miles long. The av-
erage load of each car has been fixed
at so 700 pounds, making a total of
100000 900 pounds, or 10000 tons
carried over the division in one day.
This is exclusive of the regular pas
senger service. IT required Xxx loco
motives to move the trains through
the snowsheds. According to South
ern Pacific officials the movement
of freight is increasing every day and
an average of 100 cars are moved
over the summit each "a hours.

SLIGHT ACCIDENTS IN
TWO GOLDFIElD MINES
MAN INJURED IN PECULIAR AC-
CIDENT AT RED HILL
FLORENCE

There were two accidents in local
mines Sunday, neither serious.
Ont occurred in the Red Hill Flor
ence mine, where G. c. Witt was
struck with a pick that was thrown
to him from a 50-foot raise. The
flat part of the steel struck him on
the head after bouncing from a tim
Der, inflicting a severe wound, but
not f%racturing the skull. After his
injury was dressed at ST. Mary's
hospital he was taken to his home.
The other accident occurred at the
Blue Bull mine, where Peter Bleed
was caught in a slight fall Of ground
in such a n that, although he
was not buried, one of his legs was
caught and it was necessary to re-
move several cars of rock before he
could be released. He returned to
work without leaving the mine.

DRUG F|END IS
FOUND IN STORE
'SNIILER" HAD COLLECTED DOPE
OF VARIOUS DESCRIP-
TONS

When Clyde Canaan opened the
Rexall Drug store on Sunday morn
ing he found "Smiler," a local char
acter, in the prescription room with
his pockets filled with numerous bot
ties, containing morphine, heroin,
neuralgia tablets and other prepare
lions containing narcotics. "Smiler"
had broken the glass in the rear
door and gained entrance in that
way.
Canaan had him placed in jail
and shortly after entering a cell
''Smiler" cut one of his wrists with a
knife that he had concealed in the
palm of his hand. The cut was lit
tie more than a scratch, but he was
taken to the county hospital for
treatment.
Later in the day Mrs. Smiler"
also ran out of the stuff hat cheers
and, placing her head in an affec-
tionate manner on the shoulder of
Deputy Sheriff Billy Box, vas es-
corted to Jail, where she still is.
The deputy says that on the way to
Jail he passed every lady friend he
ever had and they were all jealous.
"Smiler's" act in entering the
drug store may have opened the way
for the authorities to rid the town
of him and Mrs. Smiler." neither of
whom is in any way ornamental.

ANOTHER BOY
ENTERS army
WALTER SUTTON'S EFFORTS IT,
JOIN ARE FINALLY
REWARDED

Conscientious efforts to break into
the army extending over a long per-
iod bore fruit Sunday morning when
Walter Sutton, who has been en-
ployed in Drabnick's store, left for
Fort Mcdowell to enter the quarter
master corps of the national army.
Sutton attempted to enlist in San
Francisco before coming to Gold
field and since coming here has tried
to get into the army through every
recruiting officer who has ever been
here. Owing to a rupture all of the
officers, including Sergeant Koyle,
refused him, but on Saturday he
again tried Sergeant Koyle. who
took him before a physician and ac-
cepted him on the word of the ply
stefan that he would pass. 1t now
remains to be seer if he will satisfy
army physicians at Fort Mcdowell.
1t used to be Corporal Koyle, but
now it is Sergeant Koyle, as he has
taken another step upward in the
service.
Sergeant Koyle is a re-enlisted
man. On re-enlistment he entered
the recruiting service as a private
and has had two promotions since
taking charge of the Tonopah sta
ton.
While Sergeant KOyle has not
mentioned it, such rapid promotion
for a man in the recruiting service
can only near that he will soon be
called into active service and given
a commission as a second lieutenant.
1t is understood that in such cases
the commission is given without an
examination.

RUBY MINE HAS
BIG 0REB0D|ES
PROPERTY IN ELkO COUNTY Is
PROGRESSING AT GOOD
RATE

Bachman, Blewett and Woodward
have taken over, under lease and
bond the Michigan group of lead and
zinc claims, situated on Battle Creek,
on the east slope or the Ruby noun
tains. The property was acquired
from Frank Shost & Son, and con-
sists of six full claims. The deepest
development is only 90 feet, together
with a few shallow surface workings.
The ore is in the form of galena and
spahlerite (zinc sulphide) with a
small amount of silver.
The property is. equipped with a
so ton daily capacity milling plant.
The mill consists OF a coarse crush
ing plant, rolls, six compartment
Hartz jig, and three Whitley tables.
The power plant consists of n 35
h. p. Joshua Hendy gas engine and
two six h. p. Fairbanks-Morse gas
engines. There is ample water to
generate sufficient power to run the
plant, which will be done this fall
or early the coming spring. At pres
ent the entire plant is run with the
one big engine.
The location is ideal. A clear cold
tream of pure mountain water runs
through the C; mp and the boarding
and bunk houses are surrounded by
a nice grove of cottonwood trees.
The orebodies are large, in places
showing a width of 16 feet or more.
The average mil ore as shown by an
alysis made by the United States
Smelling company runs six
silver, 11.5 per cent lead and 20 to
33 per cent zinc. Zinc contents as
say Z ounces silver, 40.11 per cent
zinc and ia insoluble. Crude zinc,
1850 per cen zinc, 1879 insOluble.
1874 per cent lead. Crude lead, 3.S
ounces silver, 1914 per cent lead.
At present the mill is in operation
about II hours per day. The out
put is about seven IONS of concen-
trates in IL hours.
The distance from nearest railroad
point is As miles, which is Tobar, on
the Western Pacific. Ore and con-
centrates are delivered to the rail-
road by motor truck at the rate of
50 per ton, back freight Z per ton.
The present operators have only
been in possession a short time and
are employing but nine men at pres
ent, but as soon as possible will ge.
the. mine and mill running on full
time. They are running through
the dump ore at present and as soon
as the run of mine ore begins going
through the mill the output will be
larger, as the ore is of higher grade.
The best of the crude ore has been
sorted out of the dumps so that the
present mill feed is not as rich as
the run of the mine. - ElkO indie
