THRIFT STAMPS
WENT OVER $500
LADIES OF THE SYMPHONY CLUB
HAD FINE RESULTS
FOR DAY

The ladies who are members of the
local Symphony club who gave yes
terday to the sale of thrift stamps
realized for the government and for
the cause of the war over $4,000. in
loans 70 the cause. The thrift stamps
were sold to nearly every person who
touched foot in the government build
ing. The campaign was also taken
out into the streets AID the showing
was a fine one end the ladies are well
pleased as are those who are in charge
of the campaign here.
A great deal of educative work wac
done also, and this will bear fruit in
the future. Other people who in the
rush of business have never stopped
to see what the advantages are, will
know that the government pays in
terest and that compounded on he
little loans that are made in the
stamps.
Those WRo buy stamps sometimes
question as to whether they will ever
get il back, but they are told that if
the government is not maintained
and made the victor in the war, there
need be no question about repaying.
When the government fails, all else
goes and a mans individual property
isn't worth anything 70 him. But it
will be repaid with interest, just as
the agreement is made.

Governor Townsend is being COM
mended and praised by, the people of
not only Smyrna and vicinity. but the
whole State for calling the Legislature
in extra session to consider legislation
for National Defense and the ratifica-
tion of the constitutional Prohibition
amendment. While there seems to be
some criticism, mainly from the" wet"
element, largely in the minority. we
are of the opinion the Governor has
acted in good judgement and accord
ing to the wishes of the majority of
the people of the State. There seems
to be a demand for Legislation along
the lines of National defense and sim
liar to the recent steps taken by the
Legislature of Maryland and New
Jersey. A compulsory labor law, it
is believed will be of great benefit
to the farmers.

While citizens of Smyrna-Clayton
and vicinity generally are delighted
with the prospect of concrete road
being built between Smyrna and Dover
this year, there Is nevertheless keen
disappointment that the Highway
Commission has not made provision
for the width to be atleast Is feet if
not 20 feet. Knowing that the High
way Commission is building for the
future as well as the present, citizens
feel that 16 feet is too narrow to take
care of the traffic not only North and
South but to the East and West feed
ers to this road. Twenty feet would
not have been too wide for permanent
road. Indeed it would be ideal. Let
US hope, before it is too late, the
Commission will change the specifica-
tions to atleats 18 feet. Better q
good road at the right width at the
beginning than to build a 16 foot
width and find it inadequate to meet
the demands.

How Far Behind the Boys Are Youf

One of Pershing's men, re- turned from France, was speak ing;
 When I left for home," he said, the boys over there were feeling pretty blue. because they thought that you here in Amer ica were not backing them up as you ought. We had a pretty bitter winter oyer there. The weather was the coldest France has known in years. Many of us were without proper food and clothing. Some were even with out shoes. None of us were complaining, though, but the feeling that when we were doing so much for you, you were not doing everything in your power to back us up sometimes bit in pretty hard.
 We felt like the little Irish man felt in a Y. M. c. A. hut one evening. A bunch of us had gathered there to listen to a speaker from America. During the course of his lecture he said {:
 :" We in America are behind you boys to man.
 'Then my little Irish friend got up. 'Yes,' he said, you're all behind us, all right, a h. |. of ways behind-4, ,OOO miles.
 Are you that far behind "the boys?" If you are, move up closer. Put all your energy into this War Savings Campaign. Save to the utmost of your abil- ity and put your savings into W. s. s., and get everyone else to do the same. Make "the | boys" in France realize that while the mileage may be great. it is easily spanned by your will. ingpeSs to help.

WILL LEASE INDIAN LANDS.

The Ashurst bill, which pass ed the senate last week, and which is expected to pass the house, provides for the leasing of mineral lands within the re servations. The bill provides for a royalty to be paid on all ores extracted at the nominal figure of five per cent net, at the mine. LocatorS are requir- ed to perfect title in the same manner that titles to any min eral claims are now perfected in the states or territories and S1OO worth of annual labor must be performed in accordance with the U. $. law now in force. The lessor also may lease lands con- tiguous to the mines for milling or smelling purposes, at an an nual rental of S1 per year, which rental is to apply on the pay nent of royalties, if any there be. The secretary of the in terior may lease or sell the sur face ground of the mining claims if such surface ground is not deemed necessary to the welfare of the mines. This, probably, is due to the necessity of con- serving graising lands. The de- partment is also required to collect an annual rental for the ground covered by the claims of not less than p cents per acre for the first year, 50 cents for the second, third and fourth years, and $1 for each year thereafter. this to apply on the royalty. The object of the rent als is to compel the operation of the mines during the life of the lease, the lessee being penalized for failure to extract and sell oreS.-Miner.
