LIBERAL MILLING STARTS MINES
 ID MOVING
(From Tuesdays Oaily)

One of the most important move ments in its line to assist leascrs oi mines in the Harrington field, is the milling propositions inaugurated by O. w. Blickcnstaff and Henry Braun who are taking over the old Tiger Gold Co.,, stamp mill and opening up a custom market for orc. The old plant has been completely remodcled and equipped with new apparatus. in which steam has been discarded and gasoline power substituted.
 This move is due to leasers on the Ora Belle, numbering five sets, be- ing active and other mines in that belt being in productive state, many thousand ton of orc being ready for treatment Plating and concentrat- ing will be the recovery, and the price per ton for treatment of any product under $40 per ton has been figured at the remarkably low price of S4 per ton. It is this action which has started more mines 10 operate m the above field than has ever been known. Each patron also is to be given the right to be present when his product is being handled from the time it passes through the rock breaker until it is cleaned mp on the plates, or the tables.

The local branch of the naval re- cruiting station was notified ycstcr- day by wire that the navy department has decided 10 change somewhat the procedure of enlistment and allow the naval recruits to enlist for the duration of the war instead of for a four-ycar term as was formerly the case. It is believed that the depart mcnt hopes by this new move 10 greatly increase the number of re- cruits. as there was always more or less antipathy in some quarters against cnlisting for such long term as four years.
 While all of the young fellows who have heretofore enlisted in the sea service did so with the expectation oi remaining in the service for four years, it is understood that by virtue of the new ruling, they can get out with an honorable discharge al the end of the war if they so desire.

Oscar Winger were in Sioux City
last week attending state meeting
of county officers. They left here

225 miles, when rain near Sheldon
forced them to leave the car at Shell
don and take the train. They left
Sioux City Thursday afternoon and
got their car at Sheldon and started
for home. They drove in the rain
and mud for many miles and reached
home late Friday night. We guess
none of them are very anxious for a

Big Meeting Held at Spillyilie Last
Thursday to Raise Funds for
the Czecho Slovak Army
SPILLVILLE PEOPLE FULL
OF TRUE PATRIOTISs!
Prof. AlOis Kovarik, of Yale Uniyer-
sity Was One of the Talented
Speakers Of .he Day

The citizens of Spillville are not
satisfied in raising more than their
quota of Red Cross Funds and buy
ing more than their allotment of
Liberty Bonds and War Saving
Stamps but they have added a new
patriotic duty to those which they
have so well performed. This new
duty comes in the form of assistance
to the Czecho Slovak cause by rais-
ing funds for the Czecho Slovak
army and its Provisional Govern
ment. A branch of the Bohemian
National Alliance was started for
this purpose. The first program
given under its auspices was render
ed Thursday, August Is, in the A. B.
~. 5. hall and consisted of number
of patriotic addresses and music.
The first address was given by
Professor Alois F.. Koyarik, Phi. D.,
Sc. d. of Yale University who render
ed clear exposition of the present
war aims of the allies and of the
Teutons and showed by historical
references to the legal position of the
.Czecho Slovaks in the Austro- Hun
garian Empire, and to their free and
Independently formed alliance in
1926 with Austria Hungary. under
the Habsburgs, in consequence Of the
threatening advance of the Turks.
He then pointed ont the fact that
the Habsburg acting on the princi-
pie OF might Is right" destroyed the
Bohemian constitution and altho
they were crowned as kings OF Bo-
hemia, Moravia and Silesia, they did,
on almost all occasions, break their
oath to the Czecho Slovak pepole,
namely, to protect their rights and
their lands. The Czecho Slovaks,
however, never gave up their rights
legally and when the present con-
-fiict started they were Immediately
on the side of the Allies against
Germany and Austria. Many of their
citizens have been hung or shot,
their property confiscated and yet
this nation is defiant even though
surrounded by German cannon and
bayonets. The Czecho Sloyaks army
in Siberia, in France and in Italy is
proof of their heroic efforts to down
the Huns. The Bohemian National
Alliance founded ih 1914, shortly
after the great war started, has for
its aim the support of the Czecho
Slovak cause, its army and its gov
ernment now recognized by France,
Italy and Great Britain and soon to
be recognized by America.
