CONCENTRATED VEGETABLE
SOUP

may be canned for home use. A good
combination consists of one quart con-
centrated tomato pulp, one pint corn
or tiny lima beans, one pint okra, four
teaspoonfuls salt and sugar seasoning,
one small onion chopped, and half cup
tul Of chopped sweet red pepper.
Cook the tomatoes, pepper and onion;
put through a sieve to remove seeds
and skins. Return strained pulp to
kettle and cook down to about the con-
sistency of ketchup. Measure, add the
corn or beans and okra, which have
been prepared as for canning, add sea-
soning, and cook all together for ten
minutes. Pack hot into previously
boiled jars. Partially seal jars.

PROFTEER|NG IN FLOUR
SUBSTITUTES IS CHARGED
Grocers Are Both Law Breakers
and UnpatriOtic, If Charges
Are Proven, Atty. Gen.
Brewster Declares

1t is charged in complaints lodged
with Atty. Gen. S. NJ. Brewster that
some Kansas merchants are profiteer-
ing in flour substitutes. These mer-
chants, II is alleged, have received
excessive profits as q result Of COM
binations and agreements in restraint
of trade.
Attorney General Brewster will
make q dilligent search for evidence
upon which he can base prosecu-
ton, and If he finds it he will immed-
lately institute suit The investiga-
ton, it is said, will involve twcnty or
more Topeka grocers and scores in
other towns and cities Of the state.
"If the complaints which have come
to me are borne out by the evidence"
Mr.. Brewster said, "there isn't a doubt
but that the practice of these mer-
chants has been a direct violation Of
the antitrust law. It isn't sufficient
to say that this action is unpatriotic.
1t is the most wanton, cold-blooded
and vicious profteering possible. 1t
hits every family and is nothing less
than a wilful and illegal attempt on
the part of certain merchants to COL
lect abnormal profits on flour sub
stitutes when their profits on wheat
flour are to some extent curbed or
restricted to a more reasonable en-
tent"
Attorney General Brewster will,
thru his own inspectors, attempt to
verify the complaints lodged with him.
These, it is understood, have visited
and purchased substitutes for flour
in many grocery stores, paying 01a
cents per pound for corn meal and
other substitutes in proportion, which
he alleges is considerably in excess of
legitimate profit.

pared With Sacrifice Of
Boys In France

Congressman Pearl Decker, repre-
sentative from the Joplin district, de-
livered an eloquent and inspiring ad-
dress on the Great War to q full
house at the Library Theatre last
night. Mr.. Decker came as q special
favor to his old time friend, Chas.
Wells, who introduced him to the
Baxter audience.
Mr.. Decker explained q good many
phases Of the governments opera
lions, such as the mobilization Of
troops, the progress Of ship and air
plane building, transportation, etc.
He admitted that mistakes had been
made, but declared them trifling COM
pared with the stupendous task be-
fore the administration, and assured
The people that the United States was
building, perhaps a little slowly, but
on large scale, for a long war and
within a reasonable time would give
IN entirely satisfactory account of
herself.
Having presented to his hearers the
situation from the standpoint of the
governments obligation to the peo-
pie, the speaker then proceeded to
make plain the duty of the citizen to
his beloved country. He described
the splendid work of the Red Cross
and urged the people to back it to the
utmost of their ability, likewise the Y.
NJ. C. A., which is doing invaluable
service to the present and future gen.
erations by keeping the body and
mind of the soldier pure and healthy
through the social work in the army.
Mr.. Decker closed with review Of
the vast expenditures of the govern
ment and the need of money. Here
is where the people must back the
government with every dollar that
can be spared. 1t should not be con-
sidered hardship to loan money on
the best security in the world and at
a fair rate of interest, when the ex-
emption of government bonds from
taxation in considered. He expressed
the belief that Baxter would sub
scribe more than her quota today.

BUYS PORTLAND PROPERTY

Usher Carson has purchased the

land, consisting of lease on the
northwest quarter of the northeast
quarter of Section %, township ~
range "a, which is about four and one
half miles southwest Of Baxter
Springs. Some 25 drill holes have
been put down on the lease which
shows the lease is underlaid with
some rich deposits Of lead and zinc
ore. The ore is found at a depth OF
about 100 feet and continues down 70
about 16O feet on an average. Inc
cuttings showed on average assay OF
10 per cent zinc blende. Mr.. Carson
is n new man in the lead and zinc bus
mess. He came to the district from

district is going to be a wonderfully
profitable place whether there is q

BE OF GOOD CHEER

Without beating around the bush
there is just shade of anxiety here
and near here generated the past few
days by ore quotations. The Daily
Citizen is expending some effort in
an attempt to give our subscribers
something comprehensive on the sub
ject. We frankly admit, however, as
we believe practically everybody must
that will come through, that the sit
uation is an enigma to us. All the
information we can get seems to be
uncertain and in most cases mere
personal opinion. According to our
information there is this outstanding
fact: The Kansas Oklahoma lead and
zinc mines will continue to supply
whatever the world demands be it
large or small. There is no erasing
the fact that the production for the
last few months has been enormous
compared with all previous produc-
ton, but again there is war demand
and there is going to be reconstruc-
ton demand for all metals. This dis
trict represents large proportion Of
the worlds output and while the in
dustry here is tremendous from its
being huddled up into a few square
miles, the zinc mining industry Of the
world is a comparatively small one
and has escaped the attention of the
war boards passing on so many Of the
raw materials at this time. A mini
mum and q maximum price set by the
government on lead and zinc ore from
this district would be a wonderful
thing for Baxter Springs and the en-
tire district as relates to the town
and no doubt would be welcomed by
the operators. If spelter brought $50
ton on guarantee week in and week
out it would be much better than $40
sometimes and flights up to $l25 at
others.
The most general comment Of the
layman and a great many of the OPP
orators and miners is that the fall
in prices is due to manipulation. This
may or may not be true. 1t is true
that the Kansas Oklahoma field pre-
sents as fine a field for "high-up"
manipulation as one could well imag-
inc. Hundreds of men who six months
ago knew little or nothing Of the
business now have thousands and
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of mining property in this dis
trict and like enough have little idea
of protection. Dozens of companies
would be ruined and forced to sell
their holdings If ore continued down
far enough. All these things arc
very obvious and common knowledge
in a general way, but the values are
too great in this district to lay long
untouched from any cause and a
