The following contribution from
the Colored Liberty Loan committee
certainly speaks well Of them:
Through the columns Of the Baxter
weekly News We wish to say that we
are indeed proud of the fact that the
colored people of Baxter Springs have
nobly answered the patriotic call to
purchase Liberty Bonds, and have ad-
ded to Baxter's quota $1,O5O.OO. We
do appreciate this cooperation to the
highest. We earnestly request those
who are financially able and have not
responded, not to miss the grand OPP
portunity Cleanup Day, Friday, April
10Th.
We must realize the seriousness OF
conditions, rally with our boys at the
camps and at the front, and sacrifice
.or the grant two-fold good this mon
cy does.
Equal and especial appreciation is
due twenty-one colored people OF
Baxter and vicinity for subscribing
81 ,O5O and to the numerous others
who are exerting all energies to pro-
duce foodstuffs, which is as essential
as finance, and to those who are max
ing efforts to begin Red Cross ana
Boy Scout units. ,
All over the country the colored
people are rallying to the Stars and
Stripes. Who can doubt our loyalty! !
In this war where democracy is be-
ing fought for, our blood will be shed
as in every great war. Among the
most gratifying reports from various
places is this one from Kansas City,
Mo: $500 of our race raised $25O,OOO.
Are we not with Uncle Sam? One Of
the most prominent leaders in the

Shipment of 100000 Pounds
Zinc This Week-New
Mill Complete

George Goodwin came over from
Rolla, Mo-, where he is attending the
state school Of mines, last Friday
to attend to some business in con-
nection with the new company he and
his brother Ed Goodwin have organ
lied. This company is called the
Mineral Flotation Company. Assoc
lated with the Messrs. Goodwin are
Fred Demier and ]. Clinton McKal-
low, of Picher.
A lease has been taken by this COM
pany on all the tailings and shines
of the Blue Mound Mining company
and a mill 80 feet long and 30 feet
wide erected and equipped to mill
tailings and shines by the flotation
process. The first shipment of zinc
was made this week. This shipment
was 100000 pounds and the members
of the company are very much elated
with their prospects and the expen-
ditious manner in which they have
been able to start operation. The flo
tation process is comparatively new
to this district although about a doz-
en- big companies are putting in
equipment to recover zinc by this
process, which is said to recover SOT
of the zinc from the shines and tail
ings. Tables and a bali mill and the
flotation tables and machinery con-
stitute the bulk of the machinery Of
the new mill which has been erected
near the Blue Mound mine.
Mr.. Goodwin says that 400 of the
wor DIS copper is recovered by the flo
tation process and 2Ofs of the zinc
He says this process is used nearly
altogether in the west but until this
period has not been used in the Kom-
spelter region.
Messrs. George and Ed Goodwin
are twin brothers and Baxter boys
OF sufficient popularity and energy
to insure the success of most any ven
ture they undertake and their enter
price will be watched with deal OF
interest by the "home boys"
