National Fluorspar Co.

The, organization of this compan!
was recently completed, with hoad
quarters at Paducah, Ky. Mr.. w
w. Miner, who has been located il
Union City for more than a year, so
lfciting stock for the ElGorado Ex.
ploration Co., an organization for the
opening and operation of a Cali.
fornia gold mine, accidentally came
across the fluorspar prospect in his
travels in Kentucky, and upon in
vestigation was convinced of it's COM
mercial value. He secured at once a
lease on 2S5 acres in the richest min
eral belt, which is situated in Liv-
ingston County, KY.
At the present time and probably
for years to come there will be a
great demand for this mineral de-
posit. The largest proportion of it
is found in Illinois and Kentucky,
little in Colorado, New Hampchire
and New Mexico, but about 80 or
80 per cent is found in two counties
in Illinois and three counties in
Kentucky. The property of the Ma
tional Fluorspar Co. produces high
grade and high-grade commercial ore
and it is very valuable as a, fluxing
material in the manufacture of steel.
1t is also used in iron blast furnaces,
iron foundries, gold, silver, copper
and lead smelters.
The government reports show that
fluorspar is valuable in f1uxing the
dross from metals and thereby in
creasing the quality of metal prod
ucts.
Quite a lot of the deposit on the
property of the National Fluorspar
Co. has already been mined by hand,
but the company will proceed at once
toAinstall machinery for an increase
of mining facilities, which will en-
able the company to fill large orders.
Mr.. Milncr, having turned this
work over as stated, left Wednesday
night, returning to California. He
expects to join Mr.. Cover there at
once and get the mills of the Eldora-
do Company in operation. The ma
chinery has nearly all been installed.
Mr.. Cover is practical mining en-
gineer and says he has of1eSof the
finest gold mining plants in Cali

Corrected.

The following paragraph appear
ing in last weeks paper has been
corrected and now reads as we in
tended it should:
The people of Union City should
be, and many of them doubtless are,
under an everlasting debt of graft
tude for the efforts of the commit
tee to arbitrate the school trouble.
1t is thankless job, and indeed we
have doubted if ever any good man
would accept it. Messrs. John T.
Walker, this city, T. J. Bonner,
Rives, and Hal Elder, Trenton, were
selected in good faith by the mem
bers of the joint committee from the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen and
Board of Education, and they are
honor bound and we presume will
abide the result. These arbiters were
selected because of their unim-
peachable character and standing in
the respective communities in which
they reside, and for the citizens of
Union City we take the liberty to
extend our grateful thanks.

Each division is divided into sections

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity. meaning, there is an excess of
hydro-chloric acid in the stomach
which prevents complete digestion and
starts food fermentation. Thus every
thing eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in a can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like a toy balloon.
Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery
in the chest, we belch up gas, we
eructate sour food or have heartburn,
flatulence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells US to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast and drink while
it is effervescing, and Furthermore, to
continue this for aweek. While relief
follows the first dose. it is important
to neutraliZe the acidity, remove the
gaS-making mass, start the liver, slim
ulate the kidneys and thus promote a
free flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.-Adv.

YEAR OF
AMERICAN LIBERTY
DAVID r. COUGHLIN, Concortiia.
DAVID r. COUGHLl

In the present age of race hatred
and world strife, the ebb and flow
of American patriotism should be at
flood tide.
Our government is the solar light
of civilization. The light of our civil
ization, distinctive1y American. sheds
it's radiance on all countries of the
globe, in deep contrast with that of
Europe in her dark hour of desola-
ton and death.
We need only glance at conditions
on the European continent to realize
that we arc living under the grandest
government in existence. Our fore
fathers wisely laid the foundations for
our welfare and happiness. They es-
tablished a government without par
allel in the history of the world. They
turned the prov of the ship of state
toward the open sea, where before no
sail had ever dimmed the horizon
They established precedents in govern
mental affairs that have commanded
the wonder. respect, and admiration of
the nations of the civilized world.
Those grind old pioneers of free
dom placed the word democracy in
the vocabulary of nations This great
country, founded by thcm, has known
on various occasions a duty incum-
bent upon itself to fight fo- and de-
fend the principles of democracy and
liberty. And to the credit of the great
commonwealth it must be remem-
bered that war was waged only in the
name of liberty. In all conflicts this
nation has been victorious In the
present engagement into which our
nation has been reluctantly dra
victory is as certain as if already won
American boys, the bone and sinew
OF the nation, are again fighting the
battles of liberty. Patriotic Ameri-
cans are buying liberty bonds with
every available dollar at their com
mand. They are putting forth every
conceivable patriotic effort that will
enable the boys at the front to win
more easily.
In honor of the fathers of the revo-
luton, who lighted the torch of In
erty, in honor of the men who fought
in the war of 1912 for the freedom of
the seas, in honor of the boys of 'eI.

PERFECT ORGANIZATION
TO SELL LIBERTY BONDS
Experts In Various Lines Are at Work in Philadelphia
Headquarters.

The organization for handling the forthcoming Liberty Loan In the
Third Federal Reserve District has been completed. Philadelphia is the
headquarters for this district, which embraces Eastern Pennsylvania, South
ern New Jersey and all of Delaware.
The Womens Committee also has headquarters in Philadelphia, under
the supervision of Mrs.. James Starr, Jr.
This organization already is marked by some revolutionary departures
from former systems. The changes incorporate a more gigantic program
for securing publicity, and a system for securing orders for bonds which
will greatly facilitate the work for the banks and will make 1t possible to
handle a much greater number of subscriptions in a limited time.
In Mr.. Parsons Office are maps of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware, divided into subdstricts by heavy blue lines. The areas thus endos.
ed represent more than fifty districts, which come under the supervision OF
the Philadelphia headquarters. In most cases the districts are counties, but
some cases a district takes in more than n county, while in others a
county is divided into two or more districts. On the maps ire various sprint
ed cards bearing the names of the local chanmen, the amount of money
subscribed for each district in the last loan, the quota for the coming LOAF
and other information.
signifying localities where banks will handle subscriptions for local county
organizations. The charts show 1t a glance the makeup Of the various com
miuees and the descriptions of their work. That char for the regular dis
trht organization shows at the top, in a square, the words Treasury d q
nartmentn Indicating the fountain source Of all the work of the loan. Be-
meath this comes the Federal Reserve Bank, next the Central Committee,
am Advisory Committee, and underneath ire various committees, the work
of which interlocks.
While the Women's Committee reports directly to the Treasury Depart
ment there is a close working arrangement between it and the office of Df
Parsons. The separate chart for the Womens Committee shows, be-
meath the square for the Treasury Department the chairman of the wo
Board, then IN Executive Committee and various subcommittee. Mrs..
Walter s. Thomson is in charge Of the work in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Parsons, in announcing his tentative organization, said:
eft sour desire to have u organization throughout the entire Third
Federal Reserve District so perfected that in the campaign for the placing
of the Loan each worker will know his duties and be able to work at 100
Washington that by having this permanent organization, which will in a
wav hold together the volunteer sales organization, the concentrated drive
will be conducted smoothly and systematically. and far better results. will
