NEW DRAFT LAW
WILL BRING MANY
ENLISTMENTS

Word was recently received from the
office of the Adjutant General at Wash
ington by Major John D. Yost, recruit
ing officer for the Minnesota district,
to the effect that the order authorizing
the payment of five dollars to post
masters for all accepted army recruits
secured by them, has been rescinded.
This affects second, third and fourth
class postmasters which includes prac-
tically 80 per cent of the offices in the
state.
The five dollar fee for postmasters
has not been an especially big incen-
tive to the men in this state to increase
their recruiting activity. In many
cases the fee has been returned to the
government, and any number of post
masters have turned the amount over
to the recruits they secured to spend on
their way to camp. Major Yost, states,
that he does not think postmaster in
the state will relax his efforts to secure
army recruits because of the change,
and is counting on the same hearty CO.
operation Of pOstmasters in the future
that he has had in the past
The recent appeal to civilian recruit
ing committees for men and increased
activity to make up for the July slump
was answered by the Faribault COM
mittee with ten men the day the appeal
was received This is a record that
every committee in the state will have
to work hard to beat. The Minnesota
district was practically forty per cent
below it's average for the month of
July, less than 700 men being secured
during the month. The slump is gen.
eral, however, all over the country.
Changes in the draft law within the
next few weeks will doubtless send
hundreds Of men into the army who
are anxious to choose their branch of
service. There is no question but that
the draft age limit will be raised and
lowered, and will likely include all men
from 10 to sc years of age. Men can
still enlist at any recruiting Office and
get into any branch of the service they
desire - " w %

Our Big Contributors.

The largest contributors in making
up Prowers county's big quota of
bond purchases were the American
Beet Sugar Co., who took S25 900 in
this county, $500 at Granada, s19,-
900 at Lamar and $500 at other
points; the Lamar Flour Mills took
$4,000 Of which $1,000 was credited
to Lamar and the balance divided in
the rest of the county; the Helvetia
Milk Condensing Co. took $1,000, di-
vided between Lamar and Holly. This
was more help than the county ever
before received from outside corpora
tons doing business here and with the
big quota asked Of the county was
badly needed.

Word was received by Mr.. and Mrs.
M. L. Conwell last Saturday that their
son, Lieut.. Harry NJ. Conwell, was
aboard the transport ship, Otranto,
which was sunk last Friday off the
coast of Ireland after a collision with
another transport, due to a very
rough sea. Fortunately the parents
received word of his rescue before they
learned of his being on the transport.
This accident was the first serious one
that has happened to our soldiers on
the way over, and over three hundred
lost their lives.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET
Party Offers to The Voters . Ticket
Made Up TO Secure Efficiency
and Economy in Public
Business.

The republican county organization
can with pleasure call the public's at
tention to the candidates named by
the republican voters at the primary
election as their candidates for the
various offices. Some Of them have
already been tried and found to fully
measure up to the duties Of the Offices
and also the many additional duties
imposed by the new conditions arising
out Of the war. The others were chos-
en- for their special qualifications for
the offices which they seek.
At the head of the local ticket will
be found the names of l.. NJ. Markham
for county clerk and l. C. Downing
for sheriff, the present officials. These
two men in addition to the heavy du-
ties of their positions, which have al
ways been sufficient to keep a man
busy, have as members Of the exemp-
tion and draft boards been called upon
to do an enormous amount of extra
work without compensation. Both
have put in many hours of extra work
until the late hours of the night week
in and week out, and the state provost
marshal's offices announce Prowers as
one Of the two counties Of the state
which has its work up to date. That
is a record to be proud Of, and it
should be remembered that it is in
addition to keeping two of the most
important offices Of the county right
up to date with a record for efficiency
and courtesy never surpassed in the
history Of the county. II all the peo-
pie thoroughly understood the i'm
mense amount Of extra work imposed
on them and the risk Of putting I'M
informed or incompetent men in the
positions their election would be prac-
tically unanimous. We believe the
voters can be depended upon to elect
both Of them even il their duties pre-
vent them from making thorough
canvass.
For the important office Of county
treasurer the republicans have nomin'
ated J. Russell Mayfield of Granada
Mr.. Mayfield is a young man Of fin,
education and natural ability. He is

DIFFERENT PRINCIPLE
.,.ied to Ill Flotation i'm a New
vcnsion by Charles L. Tay-
lor of .Nogales. -

1'day Mr.. Charles L. Tay-
the well known assayer,
attention of "The
ieditor to d model Of q
- invention he has evolved for
reducing ores by oil flotation,
that is entirely different in prin-
ciple, and seems destined to
work a revolution in the opera
tion of that process.
All other oil flotation pro-
cesses work by pumping air
through the wet pulp, making
the bubbles that take up and
carry off the oil with it's load of
metal. To accomplish that
there has to be installed and
used costly machinery, the op-
Grafton of which is a heavy ex-
pense. Mr.. Taylor's process
works by gravity entirely and is
based upon the principle that a
column of falling water or liquid
gathers air as it falls, the result
being bubbles and lots of them.
The application of this prin-
ciple by Mr.. Taylors' process is
very simple. He sets up a ver-
tical box that can be 10 inches OF.
more in cross section, and may
be six, eight, ten or twenty feet
in height. At the bottom of the
box flares and narrows-flares
transversely and narrows in the
opposite direction, so that the
aperture becomes a fan shaped
discharge, extending the full
width of a spitzkasten, and be-
ing about one-sixteenth of an
inch in cross section. At the top
of the box is a penstock, for re-
ception of the oil mixed pulp.
Down the sides of the box are
inserted pipes of a half inch or
quarter inch diameter, or any
size needed, tilted inwardly and
downwardly. AS the column of
oiled pulp falls it gathers air,
and discharges into the spitz-
hasten afroth with bubbles car
rying the values. A valve at
the bottom of the spitzkasten
has a float on the surface of the
water at the top keeps the vol
ume of water so it's surface is
just upon the edge of the spitz-
hasten, and an automatic scrap
er carries over the edges the oily
bubbles and their precious load.
The pulp discharges at bot
tom of the spitzkasten, and if
need be it can go to the dump or
it can be worked over in other
apparati of the same kind, or in
the same apparatus.
The process is simple, the ap-
pliances cheap of manufacture,
and the cost of operation is al
most nil. 1t is a very promising
invention, and the wonder is that
it has not been thought out be-
fore.
