The seven drill rigs that have been
drilling out the Lucky o. X. property
at Hockerville, pulled out the first OF
the week and the Lucky o. X. is again
in possession of the original company.
A few weeks ago an agreement was
made by which the property was tax
en- over by representatives OF someone
supposd to be the Guggenheims, who
at once placed seven rigs on the tract
and began testing out the ground. A
great number of holes were drilled
but no one was able to learn what was
found as great secrecy prevailed
about the place.
The Lucky o. X. is one Of the very
rich properties of the district and the
l 900 ton mill is a splendid one and
it is thought by many that the Lucky
o. X. company is lucky to get pos
session as It is thought to be worth
more than the half million that is sup
nosed to have been the consideration.
The plant is to be started at once un-
der the old management.

THE BOYS on THE HUN"

An editorial in The Stars and
Stripes, official organ Of the A. E. F.
published by and for our boys and
printed in Paris, Of May 81, the lat
est issue to be received here, con-
tains these very timely comments on
The Hum"
1.-THE Hun has bombed hospitals,
of and on, all during the war. Hith-
erto he has covered it up by COM
planning that the houses of mercy
we're too close to the front near mil
itary centers, which aTS perfectly
fair game, and that any stirling OF
the helpless was perfectly incidental
and therefore, in q sense, regretta-
bic. But his recent attack in force
with more than 20 airplanGs upon
o plainly market group Of British
hospital buildings far behind the
British lines-the raid having OBJ
viously that Objective-far surpasses
his previous performances Of fright
fllness.
1.-THE Hun NO longer apologies
He no longer pleads military neces-
Sity' as an excuse for his slaughter
Of the helpless. He glOries IN his
guilt"
The point Of the editorial is in
these words in the final paragraph:
"Fatuous people who still believe
in the face Of such proof as this
that q negotiated peace with liberal
Germany Is still within the range
Of probability ought to be led quietly
by the hand and placed in retreat
for the feeble minded. There is only
one way to deal with the Hun. And
thank God, We have learned that
way"

A humorous sight on Military street
yesterday forenoon occurred when 6
number Of men were disappointed by
street car. 1t is pretty well known
over town that the street cars only
stop at certain streets. These mer
had been informed that the cars only
stop on certain corners and one OF
the corners was designated to them,
They waited until car came along
and hailed it, but the car swept by
them without any diminishing Of
speed. They shook their fists at the
motorman and pursued the car for
about half q block. All the time the
motorman was pointing over his head
at the car sign which read Especial"
The would be passengers did not see
the sign and thought the motorman
was making fun of them. After the
car had disappeared in cloud Of dust
the men "cussed" until the air was an
indigo hue. When they boarded the
next car they learned they had tried
to stop the work special.
Speaking of the street car disap-
pointments-there are many Of them
in Baxter Springs these days. The
Rogers cars 90 through here as some
say A-Mile-A-Minute," and passen-
gers on the wrong side Of the street
sometimes do not have time to make
the change Of position. The company
will not mark the car stops until the
city names the streets and places the
signs so that the street names can
be called in the cars. For this part
of the business the city is to blame,
but It. does look like the cars 60
through Baxter Springs too fast for
safety.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

There was a meeting held last night
at the Chamber of Commerce to dis
cuss ways and means for the Council
Of Defense, and the result was the
adoption Of q constitution and by
laws, the same as promulgated by the
National Council for all others
throughout the Union. The local
council was organized several weeks
ago, at q Liberty Day meeting and
under the direction Of the Chamber OF
Commerce. George E. Harris was
elected chairman and W. W. Scott
vice-chairman. At last nights meet
ing C. M. Sarchet was made secre-
tary-treasurer.
The bylaws Of the organization
provide that the chairman Of the
various committees shall constitute
the executive committee, and the
chairman Of the three committees re-
uuired under the constitution were
selected, as follows: W. W. Scott
chairman membership and loyalty
committee; J. W. Kaltenbach, chair
man Of program committee, and G. T.
Lundgren, chairman Of finance COM
mittee. These three with the chair
man and secretary Of the city Council
constitute the executive committee.
The other members Of the three COM
mittees will be named at a near meet
ing.
It was ordered at last nights ses-
sion that the pledge cards, which all
citizens are required to sign, be print
ed at once. There are now on the
rolls about fifty men who participated
IN the Red Cross and Baby Bond cam
paigns.

When the government took hold of
the sheet metal production there was
a shortage Of 100000 tons on gov
eminent orders alone. To meet this
shortage jobbers were licensed and an
inventory made Of all the stocks in the
U. s. No retailer is allowed to carry
more than 30 days supply and he can
only buy from a jobber for purposes
essential to the winning Of the war.
A retailer who will sell to a consumer
for any purpose other than one that
will aid in winning the war is very
apt to have his next order sent back
to him untitled. The government is
taking all the barbed wire. They need
it on the other side.

CAPITAL CITY NOTES
BY Chas. H. Trap

Topeka, July 1.-THE superinten-
dent of one of the big railroads run
ming out of Topeka said this week
that travel had actually increased on
his line since the raise in fares. He
also said that in every town along the
route the jewelers. were doing better
business than ever before. He dopes
it out that the working people are
getting higher wages, and not being
in. the saving habit, they buy what
appeals to them. This was the ex-
perience in England in the early
wears of the world war.

Topeka for the purpose of assuring to
themselves the Capitol Highway, that

Leroy and Waverly are also DESTROYS

iasm engendered will spread until the

and that both routes will be hard
