SHALLOW STRIKE
NEAR QUAPAw

The Miami-Ada Mining company
made a shallow strike early this
week on a lease owned by the COM
pany near Quapaw. The new hole is
in the center of a 40 acre lease and
as all of the other holes have been
drilled on either end of the tract the
company believes the whole forty
acres is underlaid with good ore. 1t
was expected by the drillers that the
ore would be found at about 80 feet
but this time the depth was 125 to
1873 feet. This company has a mill
in operation at Keelville, Ark.

Baron De Orgler Has Had Some
Rocky Experiences Since His
Visit to Baxter
Baron De orgler, who some days
ago made a speech before the Cham
ber of Commerce in Baxter Springs,
has had some thrilling experiences
according to the exchanges from the
towns he has visited. The Baron
processes himself a Roumanian and
very much opposed to the Germans
so much so that he is touring the
country giving anti-German lectures
practically at his own expense. He
was arrested at Tulsa where the au-
thorities thought his lectures were
camouflage to cover up his real act
ivities and after being liberated was
again arrested at Nevada, Mo, and
turned over to federal authorities az
Kansas City for investigation Sus-
picion at Nevada was very much the
same as at Tulsa, but Kansas City
officials, after a thorough investiga-
ton of him, declared there was moth
ing to warrant his arrest or proseeu-
ton as being a German agent. While
in Kansas City the Baron made ap-
plication for naturalization papers
and then came back to Nevada 70
gather up his belongings and pay his
regards to the city. De orgler PASSED
through Baxter Springs enrOute @
Nevada after his trouble with TIE
Tulsa authorities.

L. Wright. The mayor and the coun-
Gil refused to accept their resigna-
tions until. someone could be secured
TO take their places. Atty Waggoner
is subject to draft call and may be
called this month and thought it best
to give the mayor and council time
to secure another lawyer before he
left. Mr.. Waggoner's charges Tor
something more than a years service
was $4,000, which was thought to be
very reasonable as there has been a
great many ordinances and lots OIL
work for a city attorney here during
the past twelve months. Mr.. Wag-
goncr's bill was allowed.
Mr.. Bartlett says the city clerk S
lob is a thankless one as the salary
attached is but 500 year and 20
cents allowed for issuing Licenses. lie
saws the duties of the city clerk are
multitudinous and it is necessary that
any man holding down the job give
most or all his time to it, Mir. Bart
lett succeeded Jack Spratt, who re-
signed some weeks ago. The Mayor
asked Mr.. Bartlett to attend to the
duties of the office until the first ol
the coming month.

to take the places of the resigning
officers.
Bills of city expense were allowed.
The city marshal was allowed one
months salary $40, night marshal
$50, and sexton cemetery, $40.

council at the beginning Of Doctor
Jones' administration as mayor, sew
eraf years ago. -,
The new side walk ordinance VIII
allow sidewalks to he constructed WIN
n five inch fill at the bottom with az
inches of concrete and from one TO

cty council and that the mayor VIII
make certain recommendations to the
council relative to this when the ap'
pointments are made Friday night II
Is held that with the advance in the

enough.

why he prescribes calomel so
often.
The new kind of calomel called
"Calotabs," is refined and puri-
fled from all of the nauseating
and dangerous qualities of the
old style calomel and is rapidly
taking its place, for it is more
effective than the old style Gallo
mel as a liver-cleanser and sys-
tem-purifer. One Calotab at bed
time, with a swallow of water
that's all. No nausea, nor the
slightest unpleasantness. Next
morning you awake feeling fine
with a hearty appetite for
breakfast. Eat what you please
fruits, acids or anything. No
restrictions of habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in origi-
nal sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Recommended and
guaranteed by druggist every
where. Your money back if you
are not delighted. = (Adv.)

had lost sixth or a quarter or a
half of the squads he had at
tempted to raise. No, you would
find someone who had had signal
success in the business.
And if the Department of Ag-
riculture at Washington offered
you free of charge pamphlets
summing up all that experts in
squab-raising could teach,
wouldn't you sit up nights to
study them?
That's how you would go about
learning the squab-business.
But when it comes to learning
the business of baby-raising we
women are too apt to go about it
differently. We start right in
without any training or study.
We blindly take the advice of
old Mrs. So-and-So next door,
without stopping to think that
she lost a third or fourth of the
babies she attempted to bring up.
We follow superstitions and prac-
tees, without learning that scien-
tifc experiments have developed
other and better ways.
Let US begin a systematic
training in child culture, study
ing the pamphlets the govern
ments has put at our disposal,
Just as we should do if we were
learning to raise squads.
If you can afford it get help
in your business of baby-raising
from the best child specialist in
your community. If there is no
such doctor there seek the ad-
vice Of the general practitioner
who has had the most recent eX.
perience in large city hospital.
He can help keep your baby well
by teaching you its proper diet
and care,
Any mother who does not know
what to do for her baby has
only to write to the Children's
Bureau of the Department of
Labor at Washington, or the
State Board of Health at Raleigh,
and helpful pamphlets, written
by specialists, will come to her
at once, Ruth Danenhower

WHY DO ALL DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE CALOMEL?

Of all the medicines in the
world, doctors prescribe calomeI
most often and depend upon it
most universally. There must be
a good and sufficient reason
what is it?
If you will study the doctors
books you will find that the med
ical authorizes prescribe calomeI
for almost every disease. The
reason is that calomel is the
greatest and only thorough sys.
tenn purifier. 1t makes the liver
active, drives out the poisons
from the stomach, bowels and
kidneys and thereby purifies the
blood. Calomel puts the entire
system in the most favorable
condition for nature to exercise
her recuperative power. Your
doctor will tell you that drugs
merely assist Nature. That is

To Mention Eurs!

To mention furs in hot weather is an
offense, but-short furs are to trim
cloth suits and coats next season, and
long-haired furs will be seen on plush
coats. Among next winters model
costumes Hudson seal Is of great i'm
pOrtance, particularly on cloth coats.
One smart model i'm buff-tan velours Is
an example of this; 1t has Hudson
seal collar and cuffs and the combina-
ton is pleasing. Then beaver and
nutria are also good. These shorter
furs are liked on cloth coats but for
the rich pushes which are shown en-
tensively raccoon, oppossum and
skunk are important in the order
named. Fur fabric trimmings will be
in good style among the fashionably
dressed again also.

New dresses for school wear, made
to fit the requirements Of the little
miss from about seven TO twelve
years, seem to emphasize the sim
piicity that governs the designs in chill
dren's clothes. Simplicity grows
more and more popular as the tastes
of the public advances. The demand Is
for strong fabrics, the simplest lines,
reliable workmanship and good finish
Ing.
In materials, heavy cotton rep,
canton crepe, strong, coarse linen
weayes and the tried and proved wool
clothes provide about all the dresses
for general wear. Washable goods
are woven in colors that are dark and
permanent, strong blues and browns
taking the lead for school wear. In the
new frocxs for fall sleeves are length
ened so that they reach to the wrist,
and there Is more variety In their de-
sign, but otherwise styles do not diff
fer much from those familiar to us
in the summer dresses. Little folks,
in these days of steam and furnace
heated schools and homes, look to
coats and warm head and footwear
to fortify them against the cold Of
winter.
The frock Of brown cotton rep with
bands and bindings In white rep, shown
in the picture, Is as good an example
Of q serviceable everyday and school
dress as any one could ask. The ma
terial is laid in four box plaits, which
are pressed in. They are stitched down
1t the front and back to the depth Of
long yoke; their edges overlap
band of the white goods. White
arrow heads are worked at the ends
of these bands. The neck and sleeves
