SENATOR AsHURSr ASKS
 GIFT OF OLD UNIFORMS
 TO THE MEN IN SERVICE

WASHINGTON. Dec. l2.-Give every discharged United States sol dier, sailor or marine his uniform and with i; go days extra pay.
 That's the plan Senator Henry F. Ashurst Of Arizona wants the govern ment to adopt as part of it's demobi.i- zation program.
 Senator Ashrust knows that the ay- craze soldier will come out of the army without Buffalo nickel to his name and that he'll have to buy sui; of civilian clothes to replace his uni form, under existing laws.
 So he has combined two objects in one bill which he has introduced in the senate It was the first bill intro duced at the December session of con gress.
 Some Soldiers Prize. Sone Need
 Uniforms
 "It must be obvious said Senator Ashurs;. in explaining the purpose of his measure. that every sodlier highly prizes his uniform. Some are so cir oumstanced that they will want 10 wear their uniforms and save the ex- pense of an extra suit Of clothing ai- ter they are discharged. Moreover. as the years go by and reviews are held, each soldier will want % wear his uniform in parades. In September, 1915. saw thousands ! of Union and Confederate veterans march up Pennsylvania avenue-the same avenue up which they marched after the close of the Civil war 30 years before-and a few of them wor. | the same uniforms they had worn in '65. which they treasured as priceless.
 The government can make no use of discarded uniforms. and if it re- ,ains them they will only be moth eaten and destroyed.
 AS to granting go days pay to each | soldier, sailor or marine after his dis charge. and we must not forget that | we have taken these men out of gain | ful occupations and have wrenched them from civilian life, and they have served civilization with a courage and valor beyong eulogy.
 Ashurst Plant to Cost Americans $2.4o Each
 Tt will cost the United States s240.- | G00 .g00 to graut our men this extra 9O days pay, but the patriotism of the people has been so we'll proved in he war that while this sum of money seems large. it will be cheerfully paid, in my judgment It means only s2.40 per person for the 100.0000 people in this country.
 This payment, amounting to ap- proximately s10O to a private, will give the soldier some means on which to travel and replace himself in civil fife.
 T am going 70 appeal to the Ameri- can people to support this bill by writing their senators and representa- tiyes urging early and favorable ac- ton on it.

BATTLEF|ELDs OLD IRON
Metals That Are Supposed to
Accumulate Are Being
Used Again

Considerable speculation has beer
going the rounds as to the amount Of
scrap iron and steel that is accumu.
lating on the battlefields Of Europe
and how it is to be disposed of.
American companies which regu-
larly deal in such old material have
for some time been looking forward
to the harvest to be reaped from these
battlefelds after the war, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. These hopes have now
been rather rudely shocked by OBJ
servors recently returning from the
front, who state that this matter is
now being handled by the respective
governments.
According to the systems now es-
tablished in modern warfare, 1t is
stated, salvage corps is daily going
over all the ground near battle front
exposed to fire, and is gathering all
the debris discarded by the contend
ing armies. None Of the scrap is
neglected, with steel worth pence to
IN pence per pound, and copper and
other metals in proportion. All the
metals are taken to shops in the rear,
and there worked into the various
munitions that q modern army uses.
All the lead that is fired is practic-
ally lost, as a bullet travelling at a
velocity of 1000 feet or more per sec
ond hurls itself 80 deep into any OBJ
ject it hits as to be lost entirely. 9th
er metals, however, such as tangled
steel from wrecked motor cars, large
pieces of shell, bits Of copper, pieces
of aluminium, etc., are carefully col
lected and later turned into usable
condition.

CHANUTE sPELTER COMPANY
OPENING THREE MINES

The Chanute Spelter Company is
pushing the opening of their mine on
the R. F. Hartley property, one-fourth
mile west of the Baxter city limits. A
72O ton mill is in course of erection
and is being built so that its capacity
can be increased to 1000 tons with
little rouble. Other buildings are go
ing up and 10 inch we'll is being
sunk, which when fitted with Pomona
pumps is expected to effectually drain
the mine. The sinking of the first
shaft will be started as soon as the
we'll is down and cased in. J. I.
Rightly, who is experimenting the OPP
erations on this job, intends to get
The new mine in the shipping class
without unnecessary delay. The reas-
on that the shaft has not been started
was the liability of the blasting to
cave in the we'll near by, should the
shaft be started before the well is
cased in.
The Chanute Spelter Company, is
sinking shaft on the Ebenstein
land, about a mile northwest of the
city, and another on the Brewster
land, just this side of the Ebenstein
property.

FIND GOOD STUFF
IN THIRTEENTH HOLE

The number thirteen is not looked
on as a hoodoo at the Spelter Mining
company's holdings at Sunnyside, a
niles south of Baxter Springs. The
thirteenth hole of that organization
is one of the best of the many exceed
ingly rich ones brought in there.
The Spelter people have sunk one
hole which showed a face of 81 feet
Is feet of which assayed 62 per cent
and the balance was very rich and
while the cuttings from the new one
have not been assayed, they are
thought by those who have seen
them to be as good as the record
breaker for that part of the field.
One of the pecularities Of the
Spelter stuff is that it is found at a
depth of only about 20 feet and yet
it is of a high grade.
The lease is the SWA of the SWA
of Section 80, northeast of Quapaw,
and is a part of the Abrams land.

CIGARETTE SMOKING
UNLAWFUL N PUBLIC
Kansas Laws Prohibit Smoking
of Cigarettes In Public
Places; Heavy Fines May
Be Inflicted

1t is strictly in opposition to the
laws for projectors of restaurants
depots, confectionery stores, hotels
1r any public places to allow the
smoking of cigarettes.
1t has been some time since any
hing has been said in the Citizen or
this subject but the violation Of this
law is becoming so numerous that II
has become necessary for action tO
he taken to enforce this law.
1t is against the law in Kansas to
even sell cigarettes and heavy pen
alties can be inflicted for allowing
hem to be smoked in public places.
In Lebon, Kas., one proprietor
has ben arrested and heavily fined
for allowing the smoking Of cigar
cites in his place of business. Sim
liar actions have ben taken in other
Kansas towns. We are sorry to say
hat in this matter Baxter Springs
has been very negligent and it is not
uncommon to see boys and men smOk-
ing in almost every public place in the
city.
This is q matter that concerns
public morals and good health and
our local officials should see to the
enforcement of this law from now on.

YOU MUST DEAL WITH
LICENSED DEALERS
Dealers In Flour and FOOdstuifs Must
Obey This Order or Go To
The Lookup

Licensed dealers In flour and wheat
foodstuffs who sell to unlicensed deal
ers who should have been licensed
are putting their own licenses In peril,
Walter P. Innes federal food admins
traitor for Kansas announced at Wich-
ita the other day. He said reports
had been received that in some in
stances mills had sold flour to unli-
censed dealers subject to license.
These reports are being investigated,
he declared.
Instances also have been reported
to the state food administrator where
millers are selling their feed products
to jobbers, thus delaying the former
free movement Of bran to the retail
ers and feeders. Mr.. Innes is now
working on a problem to prevent job
bers from storing bran in warehouses
in these times when such storage, ac-
cording to Mr.. Innes is practiced for
the apparent purpose Of making an
excuse for adding to the cost Of bran
to the feeders. The jobber in feed
stuffs Is not needed except in few in
stances, and Mr.. Innes would prevent
the delay and added expense by more
direct sales.
Millers who sell to unlicensed job
bers are warned by the state food ad-
ministration to use care in SO doing.
When orders are given for flour or
mill stuffs, the license number of the
concern giving the order should ap-
pear on the face of the order, Mr.. In
mes explained.
