GOVERNMENT SHOULD ABSORB
INCREASED PRODUCTION COST

Fred S. Caldwell represented Gil
rin county at the meeting of the Col.
orado chapter Of the American Min
ing congress and the Colorado Min
ing association, held jointly in Dem
yer on Thursday of last week. The
purpose of the meeting was to dis
cuss the gold situation as it is ef-
fected by the heavy increase in the
cost OF production incident to the
war and devise some method of re-
lief to be suggested to the govern
ment through the conference of gold
producers held in Reno, New, this
week. The Denver meeting favored
the plan set forth in the resolutions
following, which seems the only
means through which gold mines can
be operated today and the output Of
gold stimulated.
Mr.. Caldwell was suggested as one
OF the committee to represent the
state at the Reno convention, but
could not arrange it to attend, and
a Committee consisting of Bulkeley
Wells, George NJ. Taylor and l.. A..
Euling was named. The resolutions
adopted:
whereas, the rapidly increasing
cost of labor and supplies in gold
mining OPERATORS, the value of the
gold produced being stationary in
price, has made it impossible to op-
crate most of the great low-grade
and practically all the smaller gold
mines at profit.
And, Whereas the gold mining
operators of the West are anxious to
serve tire naticn in the most effec-
tive way in carrying the burden in
cident to the successful prosecution
of the great world war,
"And, Whereas, gold being the
basis of credit upon which our war
operations must be financed, It
seems necessary t. at production be
maintained, and If possible increas.
ed.
Nov, Therefore, be it resolved:
That 1t is the sense of this meeting
that, of the various relief measures
rrorosed, the following will be most
effective in stimulating and main
tairing the production of gold in
the United States:
Purchase by the United Statei
Treasury of all gold newly-produce,
from mines in the United States an,
its dependencies alta price sufficien
to cover the increased cost of pro
ducticn since July 1914, adequat,
provision icing made that all am
cunts, over and above the STANDARD
rrice of $20.67 rer ounce, shall &C
crue to the benefit Of the compan
les or individuals wlo produce tn
ores or mill products from which tn
gold is derived, and that no part o
such amounts shall be absorbed b.
increased charges fer smelling, mill
ing refining or freight.
And. be it further resolved: Tha
our delegation to the Reno conven
ton. to be held August ~, 13 an
IA, shall he requested to act in con
junction with TIE gold producers C
other states as nearly as may be II
accordance with the ideas hereil
suggested"

 Eight years ago they visited England and were favorably received wherever they went. They have been touring ever since all through Ameri- ca and Europe. Three years ago they devoted themselves to an ex- tensive tour of England, France, Ger especial favor in London and Berlin. Their success has been double in that they have everywhere won, not only the affections of the general public, but also the praise of the most discriminating critics.
 Mr. Turpin is very devoted to MT.

beauty but her wonderful ingeneous art, and leaves it to her auditors to decide. Many Memphians are ready to vote the straight Bunting ticket
 Another little squib from Oklahoma City. where Miss Burke had played Jerry, just three months before Elm ma Bunting presented it: "A packed house greeted irrepressible, irresist- ible Emma Bunting, at the Overholser Sunday night in her premier per formance of Jerry, the play which carried Billie Burke to such amazing heights in American theaterdom. And after many remarks picked up after the close of last nights performance the copper crowned goddess would seem in Oklahoma Cityans' opinion at least, to have but little on the litle actress whom the playgoers or this city have adopted in such a whole hearted manner
 And still another: Tt developed that many playgoers were anxious to compare the relative merits of Miss Bunting and Billie Burke. They realize that the play was written especially to fit Miss Burke, but there are numerous Bunting admirers who believe that she. outstrips the original
 
 performance"
 And so through many cities the controversy ran, with many adher- ents faithful to both stars, and there the matter rests. But one thing is duly certain, and that is that Miss Bunting is credited at least with equal honors, not only in acting bur in the production of this really high class comedy That is a considera h Q honor, as no expense was spared to make Miss Burke's production q memorable one in the highest class theaters of the country.
 Jerry" will be Miss Bunting's of- fering to the drama lovers of Phoe- nix, and on that presentation she willingly stakes her popularity. hoping to win the favor and good wishes of her patrons here as elsewhere, by her excellent presentation of this world l famous comedy.

EMMA BUNTING WILL
 PLAY FAVORITE ROLE

Billy Burke. as every well informed lheatergoer is aware, is a star of national reputation, piling one tri- lmph on top of another and cuI- minating with her delineation of the charming Catherine Chisholm Cushing comedy Jerry
 Now the point is that while every one interested in plays and players has either seen Miss Burke in her. favorite role, or read the critics opinions, or listened to the praises of Jerry" by those who had seen the play, or rather Billie Burke in the part of the madcap, rougish heroine.
 But, while Miss Bunting was the first to play the part after Billie Burke few are aware that wee Emma crowded the Titan Billie close to the wall for first honors in the delenia- tion of the role. A daring navigator, she sailed right in the wake of Miss Burke, presenting the play the next season in the cities where Billie had done if, and puzzling the critics as 10 where first honors really belonged.
 Here are a few of the excerpts of

the press in corroboration of this assertion. The first from the Mem- phis, Tenn, Commercial Appeal:
 Wee Emma Bunting, as Jerry, in the play of that name began the week at the Lyric theater last night and incidentally started on what will prove one of the biggest successes of her career. As the hoydenish, care free Jerry, Miss Bunting is at home without acting. She lives the part. Effort is not necessary. She was born to be Jerry. Billie Burke made Jerry but Emma Bunting recreated it."
 Again a comment from the Mem phis News Scimitar: While Billie Burke was the first to present Jerry in Memphis, she little dreamed how soon her laurels in her favorite part would be questioned. She offered her beauty as a main asset, but Emma Bunting offers not only her

r nounced it's presence to the world The movie sky is as eagerly searched by acute observers for stellar possi- bilities, but the public is usually first to note and recognize unusual talent among the magic shadow shapes that shine on the screen. Like an ar irving constellation, the embryo star makes his presence felt gradually Folks said, Did you notice that big fellow in The Barrier'-wasn't he good Later in "The Bar Sinister the fans saw and noted his work again. Programs were searched, questions were asked, then they knew. It was Mitchell Lewis, whose six feet of feline grace, strength and all en- composing smile won their way in- evitably to recognition.
 Now, wherever "The Sign Invis- ible' has graced the screen-and graced is the right word-folks sit up when they see him again. That's Mitch Lewis, they say, for Ameri- cans are quick to nickname their fla vorites and they settle down for some real enjoyment, knowing from eX- perience that where he is there is going to be something doing.
 Perhaps none of the great lumi- naries of the screen has come more quickly into national prominence than this smiling giant who handles a baby with q mothers gentleness, fights with the abandon and courage of a fiend and has a shy way with the gentle sex which is as effective as it is distinctly his own.

REMEMBERED
and
FORGOTTEN
By LAURA JEAN LlBBEY

''The heart Is hard In nature and unfit
For human fellowship, as being void
OF sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both. that d not
pleased
with sight of others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own"
At the beginning Of the New Year
one should brush the dust Off his list
Of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out Of ones everyday
life without a very good reason for
1t. Making new acquaintances is usu-
ally an easy matter. But to nurture
those acquaintance until they bios
som into friends. cemented by loyalty
and constancy, is different problem.
A man or woman may count ac-
quaintances by the score--people who
invite them to their homes to dine, to
theater party, or merrymaking-yet
they are still acqualntances only.
Friendship means much more than
this, while few actually understand 1t.
Many one has counted up hundred
so.called friends today. But II adver-
sity assails one tomorrow there may
not be one heart among the many one
could turn to for solace and cheer.
Not one pair Of hands would be ex-
tended to draw one in from the cold,
the storm and darkness, II one Is sud-
denly bereft Of shelter. Past benefits
are not remembered. Acquaintances
find 1t easy to forget. Only friends re-
member the past and Its hallowed
memories.

RUSSIA PRESENTS
A GREAT PROBLEM
SETTLEMENT OF THE RUSSIAN
QUESTION ONE OF FIRST TO
b BE ARRANGED.
GOVERNMENT BADLY SPLIT UP
Entente Nations Have Not Vet Lost
Hope That Stable Regime May
Be Established.

Washington.-The Russian situation
already has been taken up by Presi-
dent Wilson with French statesmen,
1t was learned here, and the deter.
mination of definite policy on which
all the allied countries and the United
States may agree will be one of the
first things undertaken at the prelim-
mary meetings which are to precede
the peace conference.
Russia's plight and the attitude 10
De adopted by the victorious associ.
ated nations is recognized as one of
the most serious problems Of the con.
ference. Every proposed solution so
far Is said to have been blocked by
the unanswered question of who is
qualified to speak for the Russian
people.
Even when a set Of leaders is rec.
ognized as Russian spokesman, the
United States and the allies must face
the great question OF how they can
be aided in setting up stable govern
ment and In preventing famine, for
the benefit OF Russia herself, and in
the interest Of the peace Of the world.
The government at Omsk, Of which
the United States and other govern
ments has expected much, is now in
the hands of dictator and split into
factions. The entente nations have
not given up hope that the Omsk au-
thorities may yet evolve stable form
OF government for Russia.

Find Frosted and Decayed
Potatoes May Be Utilized
In Manufacture Of Starch

Frosted and decayed potatoes have
been found In trials conducted by
the United States department OF az
riculture to be entirely capable OF
producing acceptable ana frequently
normal yields Of clean, white starch
Of good quality. Much OF this ma
terial appears to possess q potential
value for the production Of sizing
starch approximating that Of the stock
at present used for this purpose. The
mechanical difficulties In recover
Ing from decayed pulp are some
times less than from normal stock.
Modified procedure adapted to these
abnormal pulps doubtless could be
devised, department specialists say.
but there seems to be no reason why
the present method might not be ap-
piled probably In the meantime In

factories at the large shipping CEN
tiers installed to utilize the great guam
titles of frozen and decayed potatoes
arriving during the fall and winter.
This would turn to profitable account

value, but which are serious burden
Of expense since to their cost Of pro-
ductlon must be added transportation
and dumping charges.

The People Who Suffer Most
From Their Conscience Are
Sensitive and High-Minded

There may be well-intentioned peo-
pie who say that virtue always leads
to success and vice to misery. But 1t
is an obvious and monstr0us falsehood
In world where we profit by the good
deeds Of our parents and where mil
lions are suffering unutterable fortunes
because of the deeds Of foreign poten-
tates. That those who suffer must
have been wicked, and that those who
triumph must have been virtuous, Is
one Of the most inhuman beliefs In his
tory. As to the doctrine that the re-
ward Of virtue Is to be found In n clear
conscience or high satisfaction-that
is an even more violent falsehood. The
people,who suffer most from their con-
science are obviously the sensitive and
hlgh-mlnded, while self-approbation
comes most easily to the complacent
and fortune-favored Jack Horners. The
doctrine that the reward Of moral life
Is a feeling Of satisfaction or happl-
ness is not only contrary to moral ex-
perience, but Is intellectually STERILE

Of her courtship-where she first met
her lover, their introduction, the i'm
preston she formed Of him at first
sight. She even remembers what her
reveries were and her wonderment as
to whether or not he thought Of her.
She remembers each call he made; all
that was said or done; how she had
detected his growing love for her even
before he guessed 1t himself. She re-
members the hour Of their bethrothal
and the conversation that brought 1t
quite Unexpectedly about.
As for the man she married. not one
man In hundred can remember what
emotion swept across his heart at his
first meeting with her whom he was
to love evermore till death did them
part. Ninety.nine men out of hum
bred will confess to their wives. I'm
blest II l Just know just how hap
pened to propose to you." When a
man can forget that most thrilling Of
all moments In his life he can forget
anything. Such men find 1t very easy
to forget their wife's or children's
birthdays, realizing that remembrance
would call for presents.
Many wives are glad to have the chill
dren not forgotten. But they are just
as well satisfied that he has forgotten
how swiftly time is running away with
their good looks and aging them.
Last, and by no means least, no man
or woman, no matter how happily mar
ried, should allow the old folks at home
to Imagine themselves forgotten by
them. 1t doesn't take much time to
write few lines once in a fortnight.
We should always remember not to for
get those who have been dear to us.
