CA n adam SOLDIERS
GET POTASH DEPOSIT
WORTH M|LL|O n s

Maple Greek, Sask, Sept. l9-
Fortunes which promise to total
millions may come to sixteen Cana
dian soldiers. who have been Of
hcially awarded immense beds of
potash deposits in Ingbright lake,
30 miles north of here.
The soldiers incidentally we're
among the first of the Canadian
forces to clash with the Germans in
France.
Last July rumors became general
that the dry bed of Ingbright Lake
contained such vast quantities of
sulphate of potash. magnesium sui
phate, salts and minerals. Later it
was learned that the region had been
visited by experts from the estate of
the late Baron Rhonda, who was
food controller for Great Britain
and that the Canadian Northern rail
road also had become interested.
The stories attracted the attention
OF Major NJ. \. MACPHERSON and
fifteen privates. A delegation started
from Swift Current in an automobile
and soon was racing northward
across the prairie followed by other
automobile parties who were also
making for the lake. The soldiers
reached the lake a few minutes
ahead OF Canadian Northern rail
road officials. The Rhonda party
came up third. But Major MacPher-
son and his party had staked their
claims and, according to their re-
ports, the claims were not contested.
Samples of the deposits have been
analyzed at the University of Sas-
katchewan and pronounced unusu-
ally pure. 1t was declared that open
pint mining can easily remove great
quantities of the deposits.

I LETT an ear in a dug-out.
When 4 shell-hit made us dance;
And at Belleau Wood where the
mixing was good
| gave up mitt for France.
| lay on a cot a-smoking
And thought | was getting we'll !;
But the moon was bright on the
bombplane's sight
And the Gothas gave us hell.
They certainly spoiled my beauty;
And my leg is twisted curve;
They busted me up like mangled
pup,
But-they did not bust my nerxe +!
I'll step off ship at Hoboken
And III say: We'll, here be.
Straight from Belleau Wood and it's
understood
That nobody grieves for me-"
And no pussy-footing sissy
Shall grab at my one good hand
And make me feel drunk with the
good old bunk,
lust to make himself sound grand.
For I'm damned if I'll be hero
And l amt a helpless slob;
After what I've stood, what is left il
good,
And all l want is-a job.

RECOGNITION FOR JUGO-
SLAVS.

The fine results that have followed
he recognition OF the Czecho- -Slov-
ks by the allied governments lend
orce to the appeal OF the Jugo-
;lavs for recognition. This racial
.roup appears to have as just claim
m allied support as the other, and
would no doubt respond to it no less
ffectively.
There is much confusion OF
hought in America particularly re-
.arding these martyred races. The
Czecho-Slovaks are the northern
,lavs, belonging chiefly in Bohemia,
Moravia, Silesia and Slovakia, COM
,rising a territory of about $4,000
quare miles and having a popula-
ion of 100000, under the rule OF
ria-Hungary. The Jugo-Slavs

rom their northern brethren by in
ervening Germans and Magyars.
they number about 100000, in
.abiting chiefly Serbia. Montenegro,

cal freedom: and like them, they

MICHIGAN FARM RS
ASK PAY FOR DAMAGE
At CAMP CUSTER
ALL SORTS OF ABSURD
CLAIMS SUBMITTED TO
AUTHORITIES.

Battle Creek, Mich, Sept, 10
Since the government decided it had
no further use for some $500 acres
of land acquired for training SOL
diers at Camp Custer, original own
ers have re-occupied the district and
declare they are experiencing new
"horrors of war and battlefield
Nightmares right here in Michigan.
The possibility OF uneXploded
shells in their fields terrified some
farmers. Others felt that they might
have sold their hogs for higher prices
since the cost of foodstuffs is great
er, and still others were disturbed
over the prospects OF uncultivated
berries and peach trees
These and scores of other prob
lens have been placed before Major
Walter c, Piper of the quartcrmas-
ter's department for solution.
Major Piper, who is working on
claims. is anxious to know, for in
stance, how much the loss Of a sum-
mer's fishing is worth to one land
owner and his friends. He is also
trying to determine whether the gov
ernment should compensate another
land owner whose COWS have had to
Craze at night because OF flying
shells during the day. Some land
owners complain that their wives
are set a-tremble by the shrek of
shells during artillery practice. They
all want the government to settle
their claims, some of which, il
pushed, might result in years OF
legal battle.

BIG STATE FAIR
OPENS SATURDAY
WAR EXHIBITS a FEATURE
ARDMORE DAY NEXT
WEDNESDAY.

Cooperation of the Oklahoma
City Chamber of Commerce with the
Oklahoma State Fair and EXP osi-
ton TO make Saturday, September
2l-the opening day Of the State
Fair-and "Wednesday, September
Is, "Oklahoma City Day"-the two
best days of the week from the stand
point of attendance, has been
pledged by the chamber Of COM
merce.
That the first day OF the State
Fair be boosted" literally by mem
bers of the chamber of commerce
is important, for it is upon Tic at
tendance record OF the day that the
average observer bases his estimate
of the state fairs success. Small
crowds, poor fair; large crowds,
good fair--is the way the average
person is prom to gauge this biggest
event in the city's annual amusement
history. The challenge match race
for the dirt track championship of
the world, between Barney Oldheld
and Arthur Chevrolet both in the
fastest racing cars ever built, will
be another attraction.
September 2l is State School Day
at the State Fair and all children Of
school age are admitted free on that
occasion. 1t is felt that it more nee
essary than ever this year that the
school children attend in great mum
bers, for the reason that it may be
the only opportunity of many to
witness the combined government
war exhibits which occupy a special
building. These are made up by the
war, navy, agriculture, interior and
commerce departments, and the food
administration and committee on
public information. They are edu-
cational in every sense.
Wednesday, September Is is not
only Oklahoma City Day, but
Grange day, Automobile day and
Ardmore day as well. 1t is invari-
ably one of the best days of the
State Fair week. The merchants of
Oklahoma City will close their stores
during the afternoon to permit their
employees to attend. Thousands of
farmers visit the State Fair on We'd
nesday OF each year, since it is dedi-
Gated to the Grange farmers or
ganization. The first day OF automo-
bile racing is an added attraction,
and Ardmore sends many of its cit
liens here.
The State Fair this year should
be the most successful in the city's
history for many reasons. For one
thing, it is a strictly wartime fair
Special emphasis is laid upon food
conservation and production. The
Red Cross and other patriotic or
CARNATIONS have a great part in the
weeks events. The war exhibits
themselves lend an overshadowing
patriotic and military tinge to the
week.

Montenegro and the yrannical sub
lection OF Jugo-Slavs in the Aus
trian provinces, there are now Jugo-
Slav armies fighting on two battle
front in Europe, The larger force
is at Saloniki, under Alexander, the
Serbian crown prince. The rest are
mostly In the Italian army. Nearly
all OF both groups were originally
cooperating with the Roumanian
army, in the Inflated Dobrudja cam
paign. When Roumania was crushed
by Mackensen's German army, they
escaped through Russia and found
their way back to the allie front by
the loung roud-about routes of
Archangel and Nladivostok--a prec-
edent which the -Slovak war
prisoners In Russia were seeking to
repeat when events led them to take
up arms, en- route, against the boil
sheviki, with such wonderful success.
Surely these fighting forces and
the racial remnants back OF them
are deserving of recognition and as
sistance, and surely such co-opera-
tion would rebound to the allies own
benefit. 1t would strengthen the
movement throughout the world to
rally all Slavs to the allied banner,
and be definite contribution to the
end the allies are fighting for-thc
freedom of nations to work out their
own destiny.
