Cab drivers inform US that it is
"even up" one mile from Porter
Clark's store to a quarter Of a mile
this side of the Frisco depot. Funny
way Of putting it, but that is the way
the cabman told US. They say this is
the longest automobile haul for a
quarter in this part of the country.
In selling tickets the Frisco railroad
company should not sell tickets to
Baxter Springs for they do not. They
should say to a customer: Eyes, we
can sell you ticket to a point in the
country a mile and a half northwest
of Baxter Springs" 1t is obtaining
money under false pretenses to make
people think they are in Baxter
Springs when they arrive at the Fris-
CO depot-they are merely in Chero-

BUT FEW MINES
ARE SHUT DOWN
Only Eleven Mines Out Of 100 Are
Shut Down-Mining Outlook
IL Better Than Gener.
al Report

According to a well known mining
man who makes daily visits to the
field only eleven mines are closed
down out of about 100 mines in this
district.
The properties that are reported to
be closed down are as follows: Fort
Worth for lack Of boiler pressure;
Bilharz- -Bluebird, Bilharz-Chapman,
Golden Rod No. z, Dallas Picher, La
clede, Ramage, Black Eagle, Diamond
Joe, Keltner and Montreal.
Some Of the plants now closed have
proven themselves to be among the
best producers in the district but the
owners are not satisfied with the pres
ent price of zinc ore and are reluctant
to exhaust their ore deposits at pre-
vailing prices and some mills are
closed for repairs.
Most Of the miners who have been
laid of have found employment at
mines now operating, which have pre-
viously been short Of miners.
Richard Jenkins, secretary Of the
Tn-State Safety and Sanitary Asso-
citation says that some owners are OPP
Grating their mines only for the
humanitarian purpose Of furnishing
employment enough to enable the
miners to live in this district until
such time when the full operation OF
the mines will be more profitable.

Why That Lame Back?

That morning lameness- those
sharp pains when bending or lifting,
make work burden and rest impos-
sible. Don't be handicapped by bad
back-look to your kidneys. You will
make no mistake by following this
Pittsburg residents example.
A. L. Bolon, city sewer inspector,
512 E. Seventh St., Pittsburg, Kans.,
says: "Cold and exposure to bad wea-
ther weakened my kidneys. My back
panied often and had lameness and
soreness all through my body. My
kidneys were too active and the secre-
tions contained sediment. ! finally
purchased Doan's Kidney Pills and
they relieved me promptly. Doanls re-
moved the pains in my back and my
kidneys became normal"

DRAFT BOARD
WILL CO OUT
December 81 Is the End Of the
Local BOards-QuestiOn-
Aries Filed at Wash
ingtOn, ID. c.

With the passing Of the year 1913,
there will go out Of existence the
draft boards, or local boards, which
have had in charge the registration Of
millions of citizens, from 1S to Do
years Of age.
The original date of winding up
the affairs of local boards was set at
December 10th, but this was extended
to December 31st, when it was real
lied that it was impossible to finish
the work by the earlier period.
Mrs. Jarrett, secretary Of the Cher
okee County local board, and her force
of helpers, are hustling hard to COM
plete the necessary business and tab
ulations at Columbus. Mrs. Jarrett
says:
"The thing now that is occupying
our time is sorting out all the cor
respondence pertaining to each name
on our lists. Documents which went
to the district appeal board, and all
letters and affidavits to support ap-
plications for exemption, are coming
back to local boards, and must be
sorted out, and pinned to the other
data we have concerning each par
ticular name. Then the whole bunch
goes into an envelope, which is to be
sealed with red wax, and the local
boards identifying stamp affixed. Al
so, we will be required to seal the
drawers in the filing cabinets in the
same manner"
In case it is found impossible to get
through with the work by December
31st, in the manner prescribed by the
government, no doubt a further ex-
tension of time would be granted, as
the work cannot be left half done.
Mrs. Jarrett says that, so far as
she knows, the local board records
at Columbus for Cherokee county will
be kept and stored away, and they
may find their way into the court
house basement, to lie and mould away
with the passing years.
Information from Washington, how
ever, indicates that the QUESTIONABLE
itself, of each drafted man, must be
forwarded to Washington, where it
will be stored away in War Depart
ment vaults.
Practically every man in the United
States, between the ages of 1S and 45,
has filled out one of these blank forms,
thereby placing himself at the SER
vice of the government in the past
emergency. The only exceptions are
some of the men between 81 and 45,
who were the last to receive question
naires, or which were not actually
mailed out when the armistice was
signed on November 11th. Those
which had not been filled out by that
date were ordered returned to the
provost marshal's office.
The War Department asserts that
all questionnaires, which will be in the
government files, are to be kept seal
ed, and used only for reference, and
to be opened only by the request of
the registrant himself, or his rela-
tives.
A very common belief among many
has been that some of the private and
personal information gained by the
QUESTIONABLE would be used to keep
the government informed as to the
occupation, earning capacity, or char
acter of registered men.
The provost marshal vigorously de-
nies that anything of this sort is con-
templated by the government.

ORE WAREHOUSES;
READY FOR USE
Set of Rules Adopted for the
Weighing and Sampling
Of Ore When It Is
Brought In

Miami, Okla, Dec. 21 Especial to
Daily Citizen)-In order TO have the
Picher ore storage warehouse COM
plete and ready for the acceptance Of
ore by January 1, It was necessary to
add two shifts to complete the work
and the contractor has assured the
officers Of the Ore Storage Associa-
ton that the unit would be ready to
receive ore January 1. The Picher
warehouse was the first one started Of
string of ore storage warehouses to
be built throughout the Missouri-Kan-
sas-O Oklahoma zinc and lead mining
district. The work on this first unit
was started three months ago, but
owing to adverse weather conditions,
was not finished at the time specified.
Now that the Picher unit is nearing
completion and the Douthat ware
house taking shape rapidly, officers
of the Warehouse Association have
adopted a set Of rules governing
the weighing, sampling and assaying
of the ore. The plan adopted, accord
ing to many operators Of the district,
is fair and equitable for all concerned.
Here is a synopsis of the tentative re-
gulations along these lines:
In the first place the ore is to be
delivered to the sampling floor after
being weighed and the ore is to re-
main at the disposition of the owner
until the lot has been sampled, assay
ed and moisture has bCen taken and
these accepted. After the owners ac-
ceptance of the assay, a warehouse re-
ceipt will be issued on the dry weight
of the ore. AS to the methods Of
sampling to be employed the rules
say that moisture samples" will be
taken Immediately after delivery on
the floor.
As to weighing the ore as It arrives
at the place of storage, team scales
of fifteen tons capacity have been pro-
vided and readings and weights from
these scales will be official. 1t is
planned to have the scales tested fire.
quently to determine their accuracy
and thus eliminate all possible chance
for controversy. In regard to weigh
ing ore, driver, helper and wagon, the
warehouse association asks that driv-
ers and helpers assume the same posi-
ton when weighing the wagon as
when the ore was weighed.
In the matter of sampling the ore
grab" samples will not be permitted,
the regulations point out, but all
sampling must be done by the "pipe"
or "cone" sampling method. Regard
ing the moisture sample it is said that
two pounds will be the minimum
weight of the ore in order to deter
mine the amount of moisture in the
ore. The systems of sampling out
lined in this article are considered
quite fair for the operator, ore buyer
and the Warehouse Association.
1t is the intention of officers Of the
Association to encourage Operators to
be represented when the ore is placed
on the sampling floor prior to placing
in storage and awaiting the findings
of the chemist. 1t has been decided
to divide the sample selected into
three parts. One to be assayed by
the operator, one by the Warehouse
Association and the third one sealed
in case an umpire is called upon to de-
termine the grade of the ore. 1t is
