A Marc. edition of the Ruby Re- cord Citizen presents the name of our erstwhile fellow townsman, Mir.

W. w. editor, in circulation be- fore MT. Lynell's arrival. are utterly without foundation. The Record says that the amiable Gus adneres to the Republican party, but, being a newspaper man for forty five years, finds no conscientious objections to working on an Independant Democra- tic paper" We don't exactly under stand whether this is n reflection on the "profesh' or not, altho we recog- nize that man who has been in the news business for that long is very apt to do anything.

HOME BUILT AROUND ICEB0x
Nature Kindly Furnished Cold Storage
Facilities for Landowner In
Western Montana.

The owner of plot of ground in
western Montana discovered on his
property q well which emitted con-
slant current of cold air. which in hot
test summer was about 80 degrees Fab
renheit, the temperature of scienti-
fically regulated refrigerators. With a
business eye to economizing in ice he
decided to build house in such posi-
ton that the well would be at the side
of the kitchen in built-in addition. In
this addition he afterward placed
shelves and receptacles for storing
perishable goods.
His next step was to build store
nearby, with an underground pipe con-
Meeting the well with a room in the
basement of the store. Here he planned
to keep perishable merchandise. The
pipe led up into the store, also. 1t was
provided with damper so that 1t could
be opened or shut in order to regulate
the temperature of the room. In this
way electric current for operating fans
In hot weather was saved.
At the opening in the pipe the force
of air current is sufficient to sweep a
mans hat from his head. No satisfac-
tory explanation of the current has
been found. In winter the air is warm
er than the outside atmosphere and
prevents the stored articles from
freezing.-Popular Science Monthly.

WAR HELPED ZINC INDUSTRY
Remarkable impetus Given to the
Mining and Refining OF the
Mineral in Japan.

The high-water mark in the devel.
opment of zinc mining and refining In
japan has been reached since the out
break of the present war. Zinc was
first mined in commercial way IN
1897, but even as late at 1911 the out
nut was still only about 10000 tons.
The refining Of the ores was not start
ed on a large scale until 1914. Inc
rising quotations of the metal IN all
markets gave the industry great I'M
petus in Japan, so that in 1915 2l'uOo
tons of refined goods and In 1916 4o,-
600 tons were produced. 1t is esu-
mated that the production in 1917 To-
tailed some $4,000 tons. 1t is said
that the refineries can produce as
high as 100000 tons year, but as

It comes as a surprise, very often,
to find how far back in the centuries
some of the ordinary things of every
day life cast their roots. 1t may not
be generally realized that double-en-
try bookkeeping, for instance, adopt
ed in most large businesses of the
modern world, originated. or If 1t did
not originate, was practiced, among
the mercantile communities of Italy in
the fifteenth century. An early ex-
ponent of the method was Minorite
monk named Luca De Burgo, other
wise Pacilci, who wrote and published
a treatise on the subject in Venice In
the year 1894. three years before Sc
bastian Cabot landed in America. The
system survives as Luca De Burgo es-
tablished it, with the exception Of the
few alterations neceSsitated by four
centuries of commercial evolution.

SLOUGH HAT OUT OF FAVOR
Picturesque Headgear No Longer
Worn by American Soldiers on
the Fighting Fronts.

The SLOUGH hat has for many years
been regarded In Europe as distinctive
ly American, although for as many
years it has been no more commonly
worn In the United States than in the
British isles, and over a considerable
part of the continent. Nevertheless,
the typical American is almost invari-
ably pictured in soft hat, and the soft
felts worn by the soldiers of the
American expeditionary forces to
France helped to sustain the tradition.
In the Civil war the soldiers of the
North wore caps. Soft felts were
chosen for soldiers operating against
the Indians on the plains because they
were supposed to afford greater protec.
ton than caps from the glare. They be-
came a regulation head covering for
the army I'm the Spanish-American war,
and, because they matched the khaki
uniform, they have been in use ever
since. Now, however, General Per-
shing is said to have decided that these
hats must be discarded In favor Of
brimless and peakless caps, and the
reason for the proposed change is
characteristic of the period that has
introduced into war so many innova-
tons. The rim Of the soft felt hat
throws a shadow on the periscope
used in the trenches so as to interfere
with sighting by the wearer; also,
when worn by tall men, the crown may
be seen above the parapets by the en-
my; also, a gas mask can be adjusted
much more quickly over brimless and
peakleSs cap.
