GAVE SOLDIER A THUMB.

The king, visiting Reading hospital recently, was much interested in the case of Private Beesley of the Royal Berks regiment. He had lost a thumb, and, being an enthusiastic pianist, felt the loss of it keenly.
 Major Joyce, a clever young surgeon. had amputated the third finger of the left hand, which is the least important to a pianist, and had grafted it on in place of the missing thumb. Beesley can now use his new thumb" quite comfortably and is thoroughly at home on his piano.

THEMINES

with such strong financial backing is extremely interesting to the boost CTS of the Jerome to Phoenix min eralized belt who claim that it is the longest unbroken mineralized district in the state. From the Jerome mines on the north to the southern extrem- ity, the distance is about S5 miles. The formation is the Yavapai schist throughout. Between the north and the south ends are many of the best producers of copper -silver-gold ore in the west
 While some of the best mining men have been holding back from going into this Yavapai schist ore forn1a- tion because the depth of the ore de- posits was undetermined, it is now proven beyond question that the ore bodies from Jerome to the Kay mine at least, are permanent and become larger and better in grade with depth and the ore that is mined is of such mineral character that it can be cas- fly handled by the oil Notation pro cess in the most simple form.

lies on the United States and Canada
for IS per cent of it's essential food
stuffs. The Canadians are most seri-
ously handicapped in the effort to in
crease production by the lack of man
power because they have already sent
to Europe SO large a proportion of
their men of military age. 1t is we'll
known that New Zealand, Australian,
and Indian wheat is inaccessible for
lack of ships. The responsibility,
therefore, rests mainly upon the peo-
pie of the United States. Without the
food which we alone can supply not
only England, but France and Italy,
must lose their power to carry on the
war.
1t is not famine we are facing in the
United States, as some have sought to
show, but food shortage so serious
that it threatens to become decisive.
AS man of great authority among A
merican farmers has said: "This war
cannot be won by the forces of civil
ization unless the farmers of the u
nited States can substantially increase
their production Of foodstuffs to feed
our Allies and the people of our own
country" But we are faced with the
certainty of a reduction instead of an
increase unless present conditions are
promptly and radically changed.
The farmers of the United States
are anxious to do their full duty in
growing more food. Their leaders
have been active in this matter for
months past. But they are hampered
by conditions which they themselves
cannot control. Farmers generally are
now facing the most unfavorable con-
dition of farm labor they have ever
known, in part because more than one
quarter of the men who have been tax
en- for the National Army are farmers.
They are short of seed, agricultural

BIRTHDAY
SURPRISE

Mrs. J. II. Ebbe, mother of Register
of Deeds Henry Ebbe, was treated to
one of the pleasantest afternoons of
her life last Saturday when eight of
her old friends and neighbors from
Marshfeld and vicinity came down
on the noon train to visit her, the &C.
casion being her 80th birthday.
Mr.. and Mrs Ebbe rose to the oc-
casion and made the guests right well
come and a bountiful birthday supper
was prepared for them. The after
noon was spent in real old time visit
and the ladies returned home on the
1880 train in the evening. Those
present were Mesdames William Ebbe,
V. G. Mason, Andrew Fischer, J. G.
Gosset, Herman Buchmiller, Robert
Christensen, J. c. Peterson and Rass-
musen.
One pleasant feature of the day to
Mrs. Ebbe was the fact that it was
also the birthday of her son Henry
but Mr.. Ebbe refuses to tell how old
he was.

THE DEVIL
OUTCLASSED
resigns HIS JOB

The devil sat by lake of fire
On a pile of sulphur kegs.
His head was bowed upon his breast,
His tail between his legs.
A look of shame was on his face,
The sparks dropped from his eyes.
He had sent up his resignation
To the throne up in the skies.
I'm down and out" the devil said;
He said it with a sob;
There are others that out-class me,
And I want to quit my job.
He'll isn't in it with the land
That lies along the Rhine;
I'm a has-been and a piker,
And therefore l resign.
One ammunition maker,
With his bloody shot and shell
Knows more about damnation
Than all the imps in hi.
Give my job to Kaiser William,
The author of this war;
He understands it better
A million times by far.
| hate to leave the old home,
The spot / love so well,
But feel I'm not up-to-date
In the art of running hell.
