A Mothers Gift 10 "Uncie Sam. y

The angels gave baby boy .2 -.
To a mothers tenderest care,
Ger whom she watched with pride
End joy l-..
He was her idle everywhere.
In her arms as little dove
Under it's mothers wing
He would lie and COO to mothers love
While lullabies to him she sung.
At even tide when he had fallen asleep
And the stars peeped down from
above
Mother prayed, her little one she'd
ever keep
Her own, her precious love.
Four years, five years and twelve years
have passed
He is still her pride, her joy, her al +,
But shawow darkens her life at last
He must answer to duty's call
With broken heart she says good bye,
AS he bravely marches away.
Grieve not, mother, choke back that
sigh,
Would to God that l could stay.
And care for you, dear old mother,
Now feebly bent, care worn and
gray,
Who cared for me as could no other
And tired not, from day to day.
But / must 60 where duty calls,
The helpless to defend,
Belgian mothers and little children all
Plead to all who are really men.
Now, mother dear, clear up your eyes
Please drive those tears away
And give your boy last sweet smile
To cheer him on his way
And when Pm in the thickest fray
will remember that over there
Some where in dear old .. S. A.

Georgia Railway Machinist Greatly

SUFFERED MANY MONTHS VITO Ma
GIVES ALMOST IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
MIGHTY GOOD REMEDY.

Mr.. J. M. Carter, who is a we'll
known mechinist at the Georgia Rail-
way shops, says that VITO Ma has
given him more relief than any other
remedy he ever took.
"My blood was in bad shape, my
kidneys we're diseased and caused me
great deal of worry, to say nothing
of the terrible pains suffered in my
back.
81 had bad bladder trouble also, and
was hindered a great deal in my work.
This all brought on nervous and sleep
less nights and loss of appetite.
81 had heard so many of my friends
talk about VI-TO-NA, and many of
them urged me to try it. So l did,
and it sure has worked fine and dandy
in my case.
''Soon after | commenced taking
this great remedy my appetite came
back, those awful pains in my sides
and back and the extreme nervous
ness, disappeared. My blood became
rich and pure as ever, and now for
more than a year have been a we'll
man
When good, reliable man like Mr.
Carter makes such statement it
simply means that VI-TO-NA is all
there. TWENTY-FIVE KARATS

CALF WILL BRING COIN
TO SWELL RED CROSS
WAR RELIEF FUND.

When Ben Carrigan donated
fatted calf to the Red Cross war
fund, he did not realize that he
was probably making the largest
individual contribution that will be
recorded in this county, but that
distinction seems to be in store for
him. Here is the way the calf is
to be utilized to gather in the coin:
First the frisky bovine will be turn
ed over to the Boy Scouts of the
county who next Saturday will raf-
file it Off Tickets numbered from
to SO have been printed and these
will be sold for the number of cents
represented by the number on the
ticket, so cents being the limit. The
sale of tickets is expected to real
ize $500, which will be turned over
to the Red Cross. The winner OF
the calf, with patriotism worthy of
the great cause, is expected to de-
liver it over to the Red Cross en-
Frank Venable is chairman. Sat
urday evening the calf will be sold
at auction as a Red Cross bazaar
attraction at Howarth hall. This
auction will be unique in that every
bidder must pay the amount Of his
bid. For example, if the first bid
is 81 the bidder pays that amount;
the next bid of, say $1.25, is also
paid and SO on until the highest
bid is received, when the man who
makes it will get the calf; that is,
he will pay the top price, but the
calf, proudly wearing the emblem OF
the Red Gross, will be turned back
to the Boy Scouts to bask in green
pastures and provide them practi-
cal experience in live stock raising.

TSHE RED CROSS bazaar at
| Howarth hall Friday and Satur-
| day evenings will be fitting
close to the great drive week,
and the receipts from the various at
fractions that will be staged will
make substantial addition to the
fund that appeals most strongly to
every loyal American, What will be
the features Of the bazaar Is a closely
guarded secret, but the fact that prac-
ticallly every labor organization and
fraternal society has taken section
of the great hall and is busily pre-
pairing booth in which to regale the
throng in the form Of refreshments
and entertainment for a small consid-
Grafton in behalf Of the Red Cross, Is
sufficient assurance that the big show
will in all respects be worthy of the
patronage of the public. Admission to
the hall will be only 10 cents but the
management assumes no responsibility
for the prices of admission to side
ATTRACTIONS, nor for the charges levied
upon goods, wares and merchandise
that may be worked off upon the un-
wary. Many novel features will be
in evidence all designed to land the
elusive dollar into the Golfer of the
Red Cross.
Everything Free for the Soldiers.
The drafted men who will leave Sat
urday will be guests at the Red Cross
bazaar Friday evening, this being in
lieu of a farewell such as has hereto
fore been rendered to the departing
soldiers. The badges worn by the
drafted men will entitle them to free
admission to the hall and to free en-
tertainment, refreshments or whatever
is offered by the numerous booths,
The only formal ceremony in connec-
ton with the soldiers will probably be
brief address and the distribution OF
comfort kits. At the train the next
day they will receive great farewell
ovation.

smiths, men OF good character and
physically fit. He spent consider

the required number and he ex

Based upon actual returns and close
estimates in sections not yet reported,
it was believed last night that re-

are left to continue the campaign,
during which time in addition to
soliciting there will be dances, enter
tainments and other devices to raise
money to place Shoshone county well
over the top A select list Of mining
companies, mine managers and others
who can be depended upon to make
large contributions were omitted from
the general drive. These will now be
waited upon by special committee
and their contributions will no doubt
meet the expectations of the drive
management.
The four dances given at Kellogg

at Mullan and Burke on Tuesday even

COUNTY sHOvELS SNOW
WHILE FLOWERS BLOOM
ORGAN OF THE COMM SSlONERS
TELLS WHY UNREASONABLE
EXPENSE is NECESSARY.

The Shoshone county snow shovel
ing brigade has again been called into
service by the county commissioners.
For weeks automobile tourists have
been shipping their cars by rail across
the divide between Mullan and Saltese,
but now it appears that "the annual
migration to the western grain fields
has begnu" and that many teams are
awaiting the opening of the road.
Automobile tourists and local motor
travel are apparently matters of no
concern to the commissioners, but
their patriotism is deeply stirred when
those who perforce are still depend
ent upon primitive means of travel ara
involved, hence rather than delay the
free movement of labor to where 1t
will be needed first" the snow show
cling brigade has again been sum-
moned. Some querulous taxpayers
may think this is an unreasonable
time to incur such an expense, but
that is due to ignorance. of the highly
efficient, though somewhat complicat-
ed, business system that prevails in
this county. TO their untutored minds,
lit would be a better business prop
osition to build two miles of road to
pass that is free from snow than
to perpetuate this annual snow shov-
cling expense, and particularly at
time when there is a widespread shor-
tage of men for productive labor
Lest the comments of the Miner
may seem biased, the story of the
county snow shoveling brigade as told
this morning by the official organ of
the commissioners is here reproduced:

RED MONARCH STRIKES
CLEAN SHIPPING ORE
TWENTY-ElGHT INCHES OF GA
LENA IN RAISE AT DEPTH
OF 1900 FEET.

An important strike was made in the
Red Monarch last week, news of
which was brought to Wallace last
Saturday by the foreman in charge of
the property. A sample of the ore
may be seen at the office of the o. A.
Olin company. 1t is clean galena,
with no trace of zinc, and the foreman
stated that this sample represents
fully 20 inches of the same character
of ore There is also two or three feet
of lower grade. The strike was made
in a raise that is being made from the
east drift, about 60 feet from where
1t leaves the main crosscut. This vein
was cut after extending the crosscut
2900 feet A drift has been run east
about $50 feet, which shows ore, both
lead and zinc, almost continuously,
but not in commercial quantities, The
vein seems to have been disturbed by
a fault, and it was to get away from
this broken up condition that the raise
was started under the belief that a
compact body of ore would be found,
theory that has been proved correct.
The raise is now about 100 feet above
the drift on the dip, and the depth
from the surface is about 1900 feet.
This vein Is said to be identical with

found 1t necessary to stop work on all
levels below the 400 on account of the
large amount Of water to be handled.
On the 400 the concrete bulkhead that
was put in to shut out the water has
been removed and the drift is being
extended east beyond the fault Con-
siderable ore had been developed on
this level and better showing is ex-
pected further east.

DIGGING OUT SNOW.
Road Across Montana Summit
Being Opened by County.

Snow Is being shoveled from

commissioners. The annual mi

teams are on the way or just wait

Now that the Cataldo bridge is
made safe for travel, it is expect
ed that there will be great deal
of travel. Rather than delay the
free movement of labor to where
1t will be needed first, the COM

Continuing Crosscut.

Two more veins cross the Red Mon

extended to cut these. The face OF
the crosscut has been advanced about
900 feet beyond the first vein, or to a
total length Of about $500 feet, and
the second vein is due to be cut any
day. The Red Monarch company owns
a large group of claims on the slope
of Beaver creek extending from Mis-
soula gulch to the head of Dobson.
The long crosscut which will explore
much of the holdings of the company
starts on Missoula gulch and extends
southerly into the divide between Nine
Mile and Beaver. and it Is probable
that 1t will eventually be extended to
a connection with the Rex, on the east
