The Quajack Lead and Zinc Com

shaft the last of the week in the holes
for the last round Of shots and struck
water at the same time. The water =
not especially strong but as q pre-
cautionary measure the holes were
plugged and pump is being installed.
From the fact that before the plugs
were put in a quantity Of jack was
shot into the shaft by the water has

SET THE CLOCK BACK
Next Sunday, Oct. q. But Be Sure
You Turn Hands Forward

Next Sunday, October 9th, remem-
Der to turn the clock back one hour,
as that is the day on which Woodrow
Wilson's time changes back to Gods
time.
When you wake up in the morning
YOU may sleep another hour, because
"it's early yet" 1t will be only z
o'clock, really, at the hour 1t has been
eight by the false clocks.
For the next six months the time
will run along according to the al
manac schedules.
A word of caution may be timely
(some pun, that1). When you change
the time by the clock, do not turn
the clock back, but move it forward
eleven hours. Or, stop the clock one
hour.
The theory of using the amended
time the past six months has beer
that it would result in big saving
of daylight, and that there would b'
quite an economy thereby. But i
anybody noticed the saving, it has no
been officially reported to this Of
fee. Just about as much electricit!
has been consumed as heretofore, ant
the extra hour of daylight in th'
evenings was used principally b!
motorists, who burned up just tina
much more gasoline than they other
wise would.-EXchange.

CONTRACT IS LET
FOR NEW CITY WELL
Council Decides to Make q Start On
the Establishment Of Munic-
ipal Water Plant

J.P. Phipps was awarded the con-
tract, by the City Council Wed. night,
for drilling zone or more wells" for
the new city water plant at the site
on the north side of the city.
The city may drill one well only
under the terms, or two wells. In
case two wells are drilled now, while
the driller has his outfit on the ground
the second will cost 500 less than the
contract price for the first well.
Mr.. Phipps' bid was as follows;
For the first 475 feet, hole large
enough to admit 10 and Is in. casing
1916 per foot.
For drilling an 81 in. hole from
475 to 1000 feet, s3.75 per foot.
From 1000 feet to as far as a vel
must be sunk to get suitable water
$500 per foot.
He agrees to have the first vel
completed within four months.
]. W. Earls also had a bid in. Hi
price was $1,000 per foot for the frs
AIS feet and $500 a foot for the bal
ance of the way down.
The letting Of these contracts vii
probably settle the matter Of provid
ing n suitable water service for tn
city. Of course the Ss5,OO0 voted TO
a new water p,,:3:n viii scarcely d
more than pay for the wells and bull
the reservoir; and when that is don
the citizens will simply have to vOt
more bonds TO put in the mains an

UNITED STATES EMPLOY.
MEN SERVICE TO DRAFT
GAMBLERS, IDLE
RICH AND NON.
ESSENTIALS
HITS THE MINING FIELD
Immediate Steps to Be Taken
to Compel "Leeches on
Society" to Work or
Fight

Topeka, Oct. 25.-Considerable diff
ficulty has been experienced by the
United States Employment Service In
recruiting labor for essential war
work because of the obvious unfair
ness in asking him to leave his home
and possibly a family, while there are
a large number Of loafers, gamblers,
and other leeches upon society who
not only refuse 10 work but are act
ually q menace to the community,
idling away their time here in this
city. A recent survey made by Mil
ton C. Powell, Special Representative
Of the United States Employment Ser
vice, established the fact that there
are large number Of these classes
in the mining district and in order to
remedy the apparent evil, he recon-
mended to the state Advisory Board
that they be placed into essential war
work at once.
The Advisory Board at its meeting
held in Topeka Monday voted to re-
quest all cities and towns, that have
not already done so, to enact far
reaching "work or fight" ordinances
and to rigidly enforce them. This will
be effectual in either placing these
idlers IN war work or in the army
where they will be of benefit to THAR
country. This is no time for any man
to prey upon his fellow-wOrkmen who
are doing their utmost to help win the
war by working in essential war in
dustries. They should either be forced
to work or fight and steps will be
taken by the Employment Service to
place them in one or the other
branches of government service.
Because of the great shortage OF
labor Community Labor Boards are
asking that every employer who can
possibly use women in his plant, sub
stitute them for men, thus releasing
labor for essential war work. Surveys
are being made to determine what
Jobs can successfully be filed by wo-
men. That it would be q rank injus-
tice to women, and even the men who
are to enter essential work, to ask
them to make this sacrifice while
large numbers of able-bodied men are
idle, or worse than idle, is obvious.
The. City Commissions or Councils
in this district have received letters
from J. Will Kelley, State Director OF
the United States Employment Ser
vice, advising them of the action
taken by the State Advisory Board
and requesting that legislation along
the work or fight lines be enacted inn
mediately in order to help alleviate
the labor shortage situation. The
counties in this district which is
known as the Fourth Labor District
are: Allen, Bourbon, NeoshO, Craw-
ford, Labette and Cherokee.
Mr.. Powell spent several days in the
district last week and his report to
the Advisory Board indicates that I'M
mediate action should be taken to put
the men who are not working into war
work. There are a large number OF
. such men in the mining district &C
cording to Mr.. Powell, who indicated
that unless the cities took the required
action other means would be used to
place them where they will serve their
Country.

IRON works PLANT
HAS BEEN FINANCED
Baxter Springs Assured Found
ry and Machine Plant In
the Near Future

The Daily Citizen has 1t on author
ative information that Baxter Springs
men have a fund raised toward an
iron works plant that is sufficient TO
guarantee such a plant when one is
obtainable that will fill the bill. An
investigation Of a plant, now located
at Oklahoma City, has been In pro-
gress for the past two weeks with a
view of moving it to Baxter, and the
site here had been obtained. An ex-
pert report on the plant by two men
has been made, however, to the effect
that bulk Of the equipment Is not
heavy enough for the demands that
are made upon machinery in doing the
work for this mining field. The in
vestigation was made by an expert
mining district machinery man and an
expert oil field machinery man, and
their reports were the same.
This organization of men, who are
wiling to invest in an iron plant, was
brought about through the efforts Of
III, Chamber of Commerce, and ma
ority of them are members of that
organization. Following the report
of the Investigators on the Oklahoma
City plant, 1t was decided by the Bax-
ter capitalists that their fund should
remain up for another proposition.
The site is also being held for that
purpose.
At the present time the Chamber Of
Commerce is in touch with another
iron plant, one that is understood to
be sufficient for this field and that is
shut down at its present location. 1t
is the intention to work out such an
industry for this city within the near
est time possible. Among the men
WHO have been interested in the iron
plant location here are J. NJ. Barnes
]. O. Goodwin, Wesley Smith, A. L.
Harvey, L. L. Cardin, o. B. Dutton,
W. B. Waugh, Reese Jones, w. W.
Campbell, w. T. Apple and Claire
Youse. These mon also paid the ex-
penses of the investigation Of the Ok
lahoma City plant.

city should take steps to have the old
plant appraised and then purchase
that and enlarge upon 1t. 1t is held
by some that it is against the policy
