to the south side of London, then through the southeastern part of the metropolis, where I recognized many landmarks of my bOyhood days. The day before I had visited Ford street, Spitalfields, and the house there where I first saw the light 6S years ago.
 We ran through Peckham road and passed the handsome building of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, spondence back in Washington with it's officers, but which 1 now saw for the first time.
 Once out of London we travelled over the hills of Kent and saw some of the prettiest of the English country side. DartfOrd Hospital, now used ex- clusively by Americans, is on the top of hill and commands an unequalled view of the country for many miles. We approached it from the picturesque village which lies at the base of the hill. A fair was in progress there, and the place was alive with people.
 Major D. Fl. Fiske. the commanding officer of the hospital, welcomed us with open arms. He comes from Brooklyn, and I had met him in New York. He was surrounded by groups of the most cheerful crowd of wounded men imaginable. recognized some of them at once. One of them, John Del monte, was a neighbOr of our family in New York. I was able to give him first-hand information that all was well at home. and he was very glad.
 Well, I walked about there among the men, handing them cigarettes, American flags and comfort bags made by the women of America to be dispos- ed of to our boys wherever they may be. It was a great experience and touched me very deeply. Every little while I could feel lump come up in my throat. I just couldn't help it.
 Americans met from almost every state in the Union. And never before was l so proud to meet my country men. Our visit was quite unannounc- ed, and the boys were surprised and pleased.

MOssbGck Mine Has Fine
 ReserUe Commercial Ore,
 Says Editor Mining NeWs

During the past ten days reports have been persistent that sensa- tional strike had been made in the Arizona Mossbaek, but so reticent were the officers of the company that official confirmation could not be ob- tained until yesterday, when the edi- tor of the Mining News visited the camp and made a personal investiga- tion, says the Oatman Mining News.
 If he can convince the world of what he saw, what was proved to him and what is there for anyone to see who cares to investigate, he will have done these diggings a genuine service.
 It has long been the opinion of mining men that the Mossback was a mine in the biggest sense of the word By trail it is eight and one half miles from the United Eastern and in a location where gold was first discovered in Mohave county. The entire region is heavily mineral ized and doubtless other great mines will be opened up in the neighbor- hood. but the Mossback group of fi- nanciers is the first to back judgment with money and invest the necessary amount of development work

R. l., and by the Rotary Club of Honolulu, Hawaii, and each package had a little card by which the men could acknowledge the gift. It was pleasure for me to hand these gifts to the men. They came from America. and I thought of every one as a link between these soldiers and the mothers, wives and sweet hearts of America.
 If the Red Cross did nothing more than to distribute these things it would be worth while. l am member of the Red Cross in America, just like so many millions of other Americans. In the last drive 1 helped to raise some of that giant fund, and I expect to raise my voice for it again in the next drive. I shall be able to speak first hand of its work for our men.
 While I was talking with the con- valeseents out on the lawn a pretty big crowd began to gather, and some body asked for a speech. just could not refuse and gave them a personal message from the folks at home. I told them how grateful everybody was to them for the sacrifice they had al- ready made and for the further sacri- fees I knew they were prepared to make for. the ideals of America. I gave them a mental picture of the sit- uation at home since they left,-hOw everybody was working for the war, backing up the army and navy with everything necessary to bring victory. After we had shaken hands all round once more I went through several wards and found the same cheerful spirit in all. The boys all said they were getting along fine. They wanted to know the latest home news. and gave them all I could in the short time I had.
 The visit was a great privilege for me. No matter how many of our hos pitals I shall see in my visits to France and Italy. the impressions of my first meeting with them at Dartford will never die out.

Mossback ledge. He had been a min CT in various sections of the West, had the adventurous spirit and was willing to take a chance. But when the momentous moment of his life came forward he was searching for water for his horses. Ills wife climbed the hill and saw the outcroppings. She told Charlie as soonsas she saw him and he took a slant at the sur face showing. He went to thought for a minute and then declared:
 This is where we make or break ourselves"
 That was IS years ago, and he has been on the job ever since. struggling to vindicate an opinion. There is to- day no one to question his fortune. The Mossbock has landed and when the plans of the company are carried out, the Mossbock will take it's place among the wonderful mines of the United States.
 In this instance it is safe to deal with the superlative because the Mossback has not a single share of stock for sale. There is nothing to exploit but the truth. The public will not share in the profits to be made out of this mine, but the Oat- man district will be benefited in the

JEROME, Ariz., Oct. 19. - Some highly important geological determi- nations are being made in the devel- opment being carried on by the Je- rome Superior Copper company, just over the hill north of the Hopewell tunnel entrance.
 The Jerome Superior shaft Is now down within a few feet of the 6O0- foot mark It has proved absolutely that the Verde diorite is not cut off by the great north and-south fault, but that it lies below that great zone of shearing Geologists for a long time held to the theory that there was no diorite below the fault
 Not only has the shaft passed throurh diOrite. but through about 135 feet of andesite. some 35 feet of sand stone. porphyry. 1imonite. garnet and various other materials. At present the rhaft is bottomed in altered diorite porphyry that may turn into schist at any round of shots.

 A more cheerful lot of wounded men it would be hard to find. It is really marvellous, this American spirit.
 It was my first contact with wound ed Americans. It was my first visit to a hospital in the war zone. l planned it before leaving the United States. The first thing l decided to do after arriving in England was to visit a crowd of our boys fresh from the fight ing line. hear their stories, see how they were getting on and give them some words of cheer.

More Than six Dollars For One.

A probable loss to the United States
treasury of $780, 900 during the current
year is one of the unexpected results Of
the combination of the high income tax
with the federal farm loan law The lat
ter law was enacted before America en-
tered the war at time when the income
tax rate on the big incomes was only 9
per cent. In 1913 the income tax rate
on incomes of over 81 ,5G0, 900 is go per cent
The very rich income tax slackers are buy
ing or have bought the tax exempt feder-
al land bank bonds. The income on a
81 900 bond is $50. The income tax Stacker
is enabled to keep the entire $50 instead
of being obliged to pay $3l, as income tax,
as would be the case if taxable like in
dustrials.
On Sl00,000,000 of federal farm loan
bonds now outstanding this would make
an annual loss to the government of 50, l00,-
600. This deficiency will be required to
be made up by other tax payers, because
war expenses must be paid by others if
the very rich evade them
| Friends of the federal farm loan system
claim that the tax exemption feature OF
| the law benefits the farm borrower an
average of half of one per cent or IS per
per year on a 81 900 loan The benefit
to the very rich income tax Stacker is S3l
per year on $1,000 bond, $500 for every
| dollar of benefit received by the farmer
No patriotic farmer would ask the gov
eminent to make such a bad bargain in
war times. No true friend of the system
will try to defend such financing. As il
is expected that the federal land bank
bonds will increase at rate of over 500,
100000 annually, the tax burden will be
enormous that will be thus accumulated
on the people of moderate means through
the tax exemption benefit given by the
law to the multimillionaire income tax
sackers. This gross perversion of the Law
Is incidental to war changes in fnancia
conditions. No one is to blame. 1t was
not contemplated by those who original
" framed the federal farm loan law. Con
gress can easily and quickly remedy the
defect.
| Fortunately all of the beneficial features
of the federal farm loan system can bt
preserved and its administration md &c
ficiency viii in no wav be imna red If the
tax exemption clause Is repealed

WHEAT GROWERS GET
LARGER ALLOWANCE
Food Administration Allows Them
Equivalent of IL Pounds Month
for Each One in Family.

Vermont growers of wheat will be
able to retain IL pounds of wheat, with
out substitutes, for each member of
their families from now until Aug. l
OF next year, or IA pounds for each
person instead of half that amount as
provided for under a previous ruling.
The following letter explains this ar
rangment:
August 26, 1913.
Mr.. j. A. Beers,
Vernon, Vt.
Dear Mr.. Beers:-
While at the conference of food adj
ministrators at Montpelier last Friday
| brought up the subject of wheat al
lowance to producers, and held that in
asmuch as the Vermont food admins
tration (under previous administra
tory had made a specific promise to the
Vermont farmer in order to induce him
to put in wheat, it should make good
that promise even if it does conflict
with the ruling promulgated by the fed
eral food administration.
1t was the opinion of those present
that this should be done and an order
will shortly issue to this effect:
when a farmer brings to the mill
wheat grown by himself the miller may
deliver to him on toll or exchange
basis a sufficient amount of flour with
out substitutes to provide IL pounds
per month for each person in his house
hold or establishment until August l,
| 1919, providing he certifes that he
grew the wheat and to the number in
his family" In addition to the above
the Vermont wheat grower may retain
whatever is necessary for seed.
| This, you see, makes liberal allow
ance for the grower, provides the seed
for the next crop and gives to the gov
eminent the surplus which is so greatly
needed. 1t will continue to act as an
incentive to the small farmer to put in
a small piece of wheat. And if Yer
mont farmers will make the same in
crease next year that they did this
year Vermont will do great deal to
ward taking herself out of the flour
market
The price which the government will
pay the farmer through the miller will
depend upon the grade of wheat grown
l believe this is the information
which you asked for the other day and
which | trust is complete. / shall be-
glad to give you any further informa
ton if l have it.
Very truly yours,
HORTON d. WALKER.

port upon the army aircraft investiga-
ton announcement was made last night

ton of John d. Ryan to act as second

sponsibility over the army s air service.
AT the same time Benedict C. Crowell.

tablished separate organizations, each

self has been the director, but also over
the bureau of military aeronautics, of
which Maj. Gen. William L. Kenly is
chairman.
Secretary Baker made it plain that
the changes announced were being in
stituted with the full concurrence of
President Wilson. 1t is the President :
answer to the recommendation of the
Thomas report on the aircraft investi-
cation for the creation of department
of the air to unity the nation s air
activities, who would be a member of
the cabinet equal in rank and power
