ROY TURNER PERMITTED
TO JOIN THE ARMY

When q reward was paid today to
w. ]. Adams, ground boss at the Dor
ris mine, south of Baxter, for appre-
hending Roy Turner, an 1s-year old
boy and turning him over to the po-
lice, an interesting case was closed.
Turner has been released from the
county Jail at Miami and permitted to
enlist. He was awaiting trial when
the Judge decided the better thing
would be to let Turner enlist and this
was done.
Turner was caught in the act Of
breaking a lock in the Doris dog
house" several weeks ago. Adams
grabbed him and turned him over TO
the Quapaw officers. Under the rules
of the Tri-State Protective Associa-
ton of Baxter, of which the Doris
company is a member, Adams was en-
titled to a reward of $50 provided
Turner was convicted. His being re-
leased to the army on the order Of the
Judge was accepted by the Tri-State
company and the reward was paid.

ARE IMPROVING ROAD
Oklahoma Is Improving Road Which
Is Military Avenue in Baxter
Springs

A Baxter man informs US that OF
tawa county, Okla, is improving the
road, which is Military Avenue in
Baxter Springs, up to the state line.
Bridges and culverts are being built
and some extensive grading is being
done. Just recently the city council
handed the Southwest Interurban
Company an ultimatum to bring their
road bed to grade on Military street
in anticipation of improving the
street. It would appear that this
work should be done as soon as pos
sible. If the interurban company
brings the road bed to grade and the
city improves the street there remains
only about a half mile between the
end of the car line and Oklahoma.
This half mile should be doctored up
in good shape to couple onto the work
being done by the oklahomans, thus
making a good road from the south
into Baxter Springs.

''THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED"
EXPOSES FOOD TRUST

The biggest single factor in the
world at present is the food supply of
the United States. "The Public Be
Damned" a tremendously vital pic
ture which is to be shown at the Elite
Theatre Friday, takes up this subject
in the most absorbingly interesting
and thorough manner.
Throughout the countryside world
in fact, the people rich and poor, cry:
"Give US food lest we perish" Our
nation is at war. Our Allies look to
US for food. The struggle Of the ages
will be won or lost on the American
farms.
Meanwhile the American people
bend to the soil,-the crops are more
bountiful than ever, but still the cry,
Food, food, give us food" And far
across the waters, the echo reverber-
ates, "Food, give US food, lest we no
longer have strength to Withstand our
enemies"
Why is this so? There is food a.
plenty,-but the Food Trust-the
most criminal combination Of Amer
ica's business history, is grinding the
common people and the farmers both
in its Unsuitable desire for profits.
Herbert C. Hoover, Food Admins.
traitor of the United States and chair
man Of the Commission for Relief in
Belgium, publicly assailed the FOOD
Trust before the United States Sen
ate, stating: '1n the last five months
$250, 100000 has been extracted from
the American consumer in excess Of
normal profits of manufacturers anC
distributors"

sMELTER AGREEMENTS
BUT SCRAPS Of PAPER
But Operators in Zinc Field See
Means Of Protection in
Storage Ware
houses

Producers Of lead and zinc ores
know the smelters have been the "Ay
in the ointment" SO far as they were
concerned when it came to ore prices,
The smelters have made more than
one agreement with the operators Of
the district to handle so many tons Of
ore each week and have failed utterly
to keep their word. The mines have
been forced to close because of the
low price Of ore and also have been
forced, at times, to "eat out Of the
hand"
Times have changed and are chang
ing every day. The ore storage ware
house is going to change all this plan
and will be the means of forcing the
smelters to pay full price for the ore
they buy. Warehouses will be the
means of keeping a stock of the fin
ished product on hand for any emer-
gency which may arise and with the
receipts issued the small producer
need not sell for low price in order
to meet his weekly payroll. Plans
have been devised whereby more than
three millions Of dollars may be
loaned on ore in the warehouses. Not
only have : q b.. nks Of the mining dis
trict agreed TO loan money on ware
house receipts but the federal reserve
bank of the mining district has agreed
to handle the paper. Further than this
banks in New York and Chicago are
anxious TO get the paper on ore.
There is but one way for the ware
houses of the district to be q success
and that is for the operators them
selves to see the matter in its true
light and help push the warehouse
proposition along.

MINING COMPANY
GIVES BIC BOOST
Baxter's United War Work
Quota Now Within Strik-
ing Distance

D. d. Muir, Jr., batting as a pinch
hitter in this city's game to raise It's
United War Work quota and repre-
senting his company, the United
States Smelling, Refining & Mining
company, connected with a $500 sub
scription that makes the game look
certain for the home team. Gus Lund-
gren, for the Long Bell Lumber Com
pany, had held first honors until the
United States Smelling company came
to bat. In addition Mr.. Muir made o
personal subscription.
In all war activities in this city the
United States Smelling company
which has its No. 2 mill on the Nay
lor farm, west of Baxter, has always
been a prominent factor through Mr..
Muir, the Baxter representative. Dur
ing the Second Red Cross drive the
company came to the front at a criti-
cal moment with a $3.50 subscription,
and in all the bond campaigns this
company has more than done its share
in its purchases of United States Sc
curities.
The total amount now raised in
Baxter on the $4,000 quota is approx
imately $4,000, leaving about $4OO yet
to raise. The campaign will be con-
tinued this week by the ladies and on
Saturday there will be a dollar tag
day, the principals in which will be
the young ladies Of the city.
In the United War Work campaign,
as also in the Red Cross and various
bond campaigns, the work is all do
mated, no person receiving q cent for
salaries or expenses, and this sale
covers even the collection of the funds
aBterward. Thus far all campaigns
made in this city have been financed
by the Chamber of Commerce as an
organization.

By Frank Hills,
In Miami Record Herald

The Sunnyside field, two and one
half miles east of Quapaw, is one Of
the busiest sections of the great Ok
lahoma- Kansas Mining District.
A visit to the Sunnyside Tuesday,
showed the Record Herald man three
mills in operation, two mills which
have been closed down while the
ground is being prospected, almost
ready to resume operations, three
mills almost completed and number
Of other mines in different stages of
development.
The Lead Boy and the Wsxahachie
have been operating regularly and the
Aurora began to run regularly Tues
day for the first time after the regu-
lar tuning up period. The Lucky Joe
and the Hawkins will start in a day
or two after shutting down for while
on account Of it being necessary to do
some prospecting. The Prairie Lead
and Zinc Company, the Mather Con-
centration Company and the Charlotte
Lead and Zinc Company have their
plants almost completed and the Sun
nyside section is dotted with prospects
in all stages.
Sunnyside is a peculiar field. Some
Of the richest pockets ever found any
where have been discovered there but
in all probability it will be found
some day that the work that has been
done and what is being done now is
nothing more than rafting to what
will be done in after years.
Sunnyside is known as a shadow
field and all shadow fields about here
are considered treacherous or patchy
but there is a deep turnover there
that will be developed some day that
may place that part of the field in q
different class.
In the deep well that was drilled
at the Hawkins a high face of ore
was discovered at the 400 foot level
and in the deep we'll at the Lead Boy
the drillers told the Record-Herald
representatives that they had just
drilled through five feet Of jack at q
depth of 320 feet and had entered
blue flint, which they believed indi'
Gated a good strike below.
In the early days of mining at Sun
nyside, water was so strong that il
was almost impossible to operate ever
the upper level and nothing else has
ever been worked there but now thai
water has become an object in that
part Of the country, deep wells are be-
ing sunk and it is believed in so doing
the deep stuff will be developed anC
that Sunnyside will become a rea
mining section.
Buck Kelley, II years OF age, il
holding down two jobs at the LeaC
Boy mine at Sunnyside, doing th'
work of two men who received $3.5I
each and struck for $3.50.
Formerly the job Of looking afte'
the screen at the Lead Boy was helC
by a man who received SIS a day bu
he grumbled and claimed that it wa
a two man job and left the place. TwI
men were employed to do the wOrl
half heartedly for a few weeks, the!
demanded $3.50 each and were lie
out.
The Kelley boy offered to take tn
screen and keep it clean for $4.5
and was given a tryOut, when it wa
found that he could do the work bet
ter than the one man or the two ha
done and he has never grumbled ono
about it being too much for him.
