Sergeant Jones, an English
man, who when the war broke
out, was a lad of twenty, driving
a motor car. He did his bit well,
and after being released from

Sergeant Jones came to Chi

At the present time there are
nine Republicans and four Demo
Gratis representing Indiana in the
house OF representatives, and all of
the thirteen are preparing to seek
denomination and reelection. One
OF the striking features Of the race
will be that all OF this number will
ask support on patriotic rather than
partisan grounds.

Political Observations.

In a discussion of bill providing
for a return to the convention sys-
TEN of nominating candidates in
the New York legislature, it was
brought out that the cost of direct
primaries in that state is $1000,0O0
in presidential years, and that
woman suffrage will double it. The
cost per vote ranged from 81 to 50.
VIII II. Hays, the new head OF
the Republican party who has been
dubbed the little giant" in politics,
advances the idea that a Republican
congress and a Republican presi-
dent are necessary to win the war
and that patriotic duty demands the
election OF a Republican congress
this year and Republican president
in 1890.

No matter what action the New
York legislature may take on the
federal prohibition amendment the
state is on the road to prohibition.
Already 81 New York towns, with
l35O,OOO people, are dry Last
November 100000 people voted their
towns prohibition territory. and 80
cities are getting ready for an April
battle over saloons.

States that thus far have ratified
federal prohibition amendment, and
so far no state has refused to ratify
it, are Mississippi South Carolina,
Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, Mon
tana and North Dakota. Prohibi-
tion leaders now claim that the
amendment will be ratified by the
three-fourths OF the states
before the summer Of 1910.

Colorado.

A shipment of ore of good overage
grade was loaded out recently from
the Forest Queen mine on the eastern
slope Of Ironclad hill.
Creede camp is at present shipping
close to $50 tons Of ore each day,
which carries from 20 to 25 ounces in
silver to the ton, with heavier gold
values.
Mcleod and Kessy of Goldfield, les
sees on the Six Points mine, on Bull
hills southeastern slope, are mining
on the filled stope plan and will soon
be making steady shipments Of good
average grade Of ore.
Colorado's only producer of sulphur
is located ON Trout creek, Mineral
county, twenty miles from Creede and
twenty miles from the broad gauge
railroad that runs from Alamosa to
Creede. Motor trucks were used in
hauling the ore.
Lessee White, operating the Orpha
May mine on Bull hill, under lease
from Stratton's Cripple Creek Mining
and Development Company, was ship
ping from that Stratton estate prop
erty again. The ore shipped was esti-
mated at between $40 and $50 to the
ton.

Make Waste Into Meat.

The keeping of a reasonable number
Of sheep on the average farm does not
necessitate the keeping Of fewer dairy
cows or other grazing stock. This fact
was determined by the United States
department of agriculture in its recent
investigation Of sheep raising possi-
bilities in New England. 1t was found
that farms where sheep are kept sue
cessfully have practically the same
number and kinds Of other live stock
as other farms of like area where no
sheep are kept, and that the acreage
in crops on the two classes of farms
is substantially the same. The infer
ence is that the farmer who keeps no
sheep is simply throwing away enough
pasturage that cows and other live
stock do not utilize to net him neat
profit.

Montana.

Production of copper by the Kenne-
colt Copper Corporation in May
amounted to 10,162,00O pounds, Of
which 3,404,0OO pounds came from
Alaska and 6,758,0OO pounds from
South Africa.
The application Of the Butte and Su-
perior Copper Company for a writ Of
certiorari in the case brought against
the Clark Montana Realty Company
and the Elm Orlu Mining Company
has been denied by the Supreme Court
of the United States. This suit was
brought in the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals for the ninth circuit to quiet title
to a mining claim and to certain ore
bodies for an accounting. The patent
to the mining claim in controversy
was issued to the Elm Orlu company
in 1884 and subsequently was bought
by the Clark Montana Company. The
action of the Supreme Court vests con-
troll of the property in the Clark Mon
tana Company.

New M exico.

Melrose is much excited over the
prospects for oil in that vicinity.
The Oaks Company at Mogollon is
saving ore from sinking of Central
shaft.
A framing mill is being built at the
lower end of Mogollon for use on tail
ings dam flume.
Extensive deposits of manganese
and iron on Boston Hill, near Silver
City, are being worked by A. A. Bur-
dette.
The Mogollon Mines Company ship
ped seventeen bars of bullion on May
production the past week. About 5000
tons were milled during the month.
Artesia is soon to have a real oil
field and operations have already been
started. The first derrick has been
erected on Dayton hill and machinery
IS now being placed on the ground.
The Mogollon mines, in the district
seventy-fiye miles north Of Silver City,
produced in the year 1917, 12,500
ounces of gold and 723,581 ounces of
silver, which was valued at nearly ST.
100000. This is claimed to be- rec
ord for the mines in that district.

Dainty tub blouses, to be worn with
wash or silk skirts, are Of immediate
interest to everyone who is not al
ready provided with summers sup
ply. For July and August, when the
only way to keep Immediately clean
lies by way of the tub, they are the
only wear. There is an unending va
riety in these washable blouses made
Of batiste, voile, organdie linens and
tub silks.
In little group Of smart models that
make a choice worth thinking about,
one is sure to find white batiste, tuck
ed or hemstitched, with collars and
cuffs of blue or rose or biege colored

Here comes the bride with her head
adorned by veil or by hat-as she
may elect-and her maids in yelled or
veilless hats; hers is the privilege to
decide which. Many brides have
chosen to wear lovely hats Of ma
lines or crepe with wells suspended
from the back, to be brought about
the throat and partly over the face.
They are followed by maids in wide
brimmed hats or quaint bonnets. But
no one expects the bride to forego the
stately wedding veil, and If she
chooses to wear it she may concede the
yelled hat to her maids.
A very simple and sweet arrange
Ment Of the veil Is shown at the right
Of the picture above. 1t is merely
band Of fine lace run with threads Of
silver, that borders small, close cap
of tulle. The long veil flows out from
the cap from the back, enveloping the
figure. This same arrangement has
been used with small sprays Of orange

Fighting Animal Tuberculosis.

In April, 22,492 cattle were tested
for tuberculosis in the tuberculosis
eradication work of the bureau of an
imal industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture. This number was
S,494 more than were tested in the
preceding month. The tuberculosis
control measures are to be applied. in
cooperation with state authorities and
live stock owners, along three lines
eradication of tuberculosis from pure
bred herds, eradication from circum-
scribed areas, and eradication from
swine. In the beginning efforts are
being concentrated on eradication of
the disease from purebred herds.

Arizona.

The Ajo output of copper ore in May
was 100000 pounds.
The Swansea mines of Yuma coun-
ty are leased and are being worked.
Calumet and Arizona output in May
was 4,76S,000 pounds of copper. New
Cornelia produced 2,SS0,00O pounds of
electrolytic copper, 1,112,OOO pounds OF
cement copper and 412,000 pounds
from smelling ore.
In May the Inspiration Consolidated
Copper Company produced 10,250,OOO
pounds of copper, compared with g.
25O,OOO in April, 8,75O,o0O in March, s.
100000 in February, and 100000 in
January. In May Of last year the pro-
duction was 100000 pounds, and in
the same month of 1915, it amounted
to 10,40O,00O pounds.

ginghams. SO it will be seen that
variety in the materials used makes it
easy to multiply styles. In all white
blouses hemstitching and small
tricks account for The prettiest deco
rations, and these are specially well
liked put in in crossbar effects. OF all
fabrics voile holds it's own as the most
durable, and therefore the best worth
while for fine needlework. It may be
made up in the same styles as georg-
cite crepe and embellished with en-
broidery instead Of beadwork-like the

blossoms fastened across the back Of
the cap where it merges into the veil
at the neck.
Nothing could be prettier for the
bride who chooses to wear hat than
the lovely mass Of tulle shown at the
left Of the picture. Frills Of tulle
stand up about the crown and fall over
the brim. The long, straight veil
falls from a bow at the back and is
wound about the throat as pictured.
If it Is to be the happy lot Of the
bridesmaids to wear hat like this,
it is most lovely made in pale pink.
Another wonderful pink hat for the
bridesmaid is shown at the top Of the
group. It is Of crepe georgette and
has huge double poppies made Of
the same delicate and beautiful fab
ric set about the crown. There are
lovely organdie hats that this years
brides may avail themselves Of, that
are as fine and flowerlike as those
of crepe.

Five Minutes for Nails.

When the nails are manicured every
day, five minutes is usually sufficient,
for in this way they are in good con-
dition, and easily kept so. The cuticle
is always gently pushed back with an
orangewood stick dipped in cream or
cologne and shaped into an oval. The
file rounds and levels the edges. Pol
fishing at night saves time in the morn
ing. The quickest method Of cleaning
the nails is by using a nail brush. A
little cold cream or oil pressed into
the base of the nail under the flesh
strengthens it, and incidentally i'm
parts a healthy appearance and luster.

done, however, by unskilled labor, even
by small children, and the expense
need not be large.
lIIustrious Example.
People who install sheep on lawns
will be following an illustrious exam
pie. For many weeks now small
flock Of sheep has been grazing on the
White House grounds, converting the
grass which was formerly wasted into
good meat and wool, and incidentally
keeping down weeds that were source
Of endless trouble. It has been found
that the sheep are not only useful but
ornamental. Many thousands Of peo-
pie have been attracted by the pretty
picture Of the fleecy animals in Presi-
dent Wilson's yard.

Skirts of Corduroy.

Sport skirts are attracting more
attention this year, it is said, than
they have for some time. Corduroy,
which is more or less of a new fab
ric for this purpose, has been used ex-
tensively by a number of manufac-
turers Of skirts with great deal of
success. Quite few novelty silks
are also proving popular, both with
the retailers and the buying public.
Narrow effects are produced by the
use of vertical plaits, which still allow
ample freedom Of movement. Bright
collars seem to be the order Of the
day.

SHEEP AS BENEFACTORS

A hundred times you have no.
ticed and been annoyed by the
man, horse and little moving ma
chine going about clipping the
grass on the golf course.
Sometimes you have noticed
another fellow, or group of fell
lows, going over the course,
bending, prodding in the grass
with little trowel-like tools.
Annoying? Yes; but, in the
ordinary course Of things, nee
essary. The grass has to be kept
short and smooth for your COM
fort and convenience. And the
ugly weeds have to be rooted
out. Still all of that work has
to be paid for out Of the dues
Of the members.
And, after all, the whole busi-
ness-annoyance and expense
might be avoided. A flock Of
sheep would keep the grass clip
ped as closely and as neatly as
the mower does-and the sheep
would eradicate the weeds much
more certainly than the prodding
fellows possibly can.
Besides, they would convert
the grass and weeds into meat
and wool to help the nation
through an emergency in which
it badly needs both meat and
wool.

Puts His Ship First.

In the moment Of danger the first
thought that comes to the real sailor
man is to save his ship, Personal safe
ty is always matter of secondary
consideration. One morning when the
bottom blow valve Of boiler was car
ried away on man-of-war, Christie
pher Smith, a machinists mate, imme
diately realized the danger and knew
what TO do. He was on duty in the
engine room when the accident oc
Cured. The room quickly filed with
escaping steam. Unheeding this
Smith fought his way through the hot
cloud and, reaching the fire room
hauled the fires and kept the boiler
from bursting. His gallantry saved
his ship from serious damage and the
navy department commended his ac
tion. Smith enlisted in the navy in
April, 1908, at Erie, Pa.
