Capt. Tough In
Training, Area

I'VE are in a training area here
and some distance from the front"
writes Captain Maxon S. Tough with
the third division of regulars,
Thirty eighth infantry in France, to
his mother, Mrs. H. P. Tough Of
Fargo.
1--WE are far enough away to be
unable to hear the sound Of the big
guns" adds the captain. You need
not worry over my safety for some
time to come because we have lots
to learn before we can take our
places on the firing line. Many peo-
pie think the present big battle is
the decisive battle of the. war; 9th
ers figure that the war will last a
long time yet, so nobody really
knows"
Captain Tough says that the Sec
ond day of his trip through France
was more interesting than the first
as he travelled through a battlefield
and saw thousands Of graves and
many buildings which had been
shelled.

View of the Casino of AK and
grounds and (below) an American
colored band giving a concert in
the garden of the Casino.

Nothing is too good for the Sammtes
in France. Every United States SOL
der is a hero, and government and
people vie in their efforts to make our
boys feel at home.
The famous Casino Of AK in Paris
has been turned over to the American
expeditionary forces and has been con-
verified into clubhouse for the use of
American soldiers on leave from the
front. Here the boys forget their
troubles and have a rare good, time.
There is always plenty of music and
the boys put in their time reading
American newspapers and magazines,
playing games and swapping tales of
their experiences in the front line
trenches.

Shoe Cost VIII
Add. to Wages *.
Paid Teachers

"A schoolteacher cannot get a pair
of shoes which will suit her for less
than $10."
j. w. Riley, county superintend-
ent Of schools Of Cass county, gave
this as one Of the reasons why there
will be a material advance in wages
paid to school teachers in Cass
county this coming fall. He pre-
diets that the advance will be nearly
SO per cent of the wages that the
teachers are now getting.
"A teacher who is drawing check
for $50 teaching the three RS in the
rural schools of Cass county this
year will get $50 next fall" said the
superintendent. There will be very
few teachers engaged for less than
$40 per month. And on top of this
all, the field is open in Cass county
and North Dakota for good teachers.
WAR and matrimony are two
prominent factors that are taking
teachers from us. For years it was
matrimony. but now war has enter
ed upon the stage"

EQUESTRIENNE OF RENOWN
AMONG RIDERS WITH
FAMOUS CIRCUS.

Its the circus that is the question
of the hour, at least for the kiddies
and who is not young on circus
day? The broadspread and flaming
announcements have, no doubt, pre-
pared you for the advent of the big
Coop and Lent Circus, with it's many
sensational features, not the least of
which is 10 be the gorgeous glittering
modern motorized street pageant.
Coop & Lent's big three ring circus
and menagerie and city of white
tents will appear in Paris, Tuesday,
June 25th. Coop & Lent's biggest
endeavor is the first and only enor-
nous show to utilize the auto trucks
as motive power, thus assuring the
great public that all dates will be
filled as advertised, and that all
promises will be faithfully kept.
Among the great array of circus
talent there is one deserving of I'M
stinted praise-that one is dainty,
dashing Dallie Julian i'm a most dar-
ing equestrian act that has made
vast crowds hold their breath, and
then burst forth in mighty applause.
Miss Julian is worthy of the steller
honors with the Coop & Lent shows
and her equal is not to be found with
any other circus. ....-------
1t is the policy of Coop & Lent
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-06-14

to have something better and bigger
than any other big show, conse-
Quently every act engaged is fea-
ture in their particular line. The
first new feature is the ninety-six
immense auto trucks and trailers to
transport the mighty circus and it's
army of employees across the CONT
nent, and this feature alone will
draw thousands of country folk to
each city visited. The great menag-
erie is another feature, and no child
should be deprived of this opportuni-
tv to receive a lesson in Natural
History. Keep in mind the grandest
of street parades which will start
promptly at 1920 a. m.

THE MINING FIELD

mining fraternity to sit up and take
noice, says Frank d. Hills.
From all appearances it is almost
certainty that the field just across
the line from Cardin and Picher, six
miles west of Baxter Springs, are as
rich as any in the field and may excel
even the rich section about Picher,
Cardin and Douthat.
The big plants of the U. S., the
Ramona, the Early Bird and the
Southern, all in row and close to-
gether, are running and getting out
wonderful stuff. The Brown and Head
Zinc company has begun the con-
struction of large mill, as have the
Lawyers Company. The De-Amon
Company has won the water fight they
have been waging and are getting
down into the rich body Of ore that
they have been trying to reach for
months and the mill is operating
again. The Redskin and the Pelican
will soon have their mills completed
and be milling the rich dirt they have
been getting out. The Kansouri has
gotten into splendid ore and will be
running their mill soon and every one
knows what the Webber, the Blue
Mound, the Blue Diamond and the
Vinegar Hill Bar Mines are.
The Kansas side of the line has
been a little slow in getting into the
game ,as the ore is little deep over
there and it takes money to sink to
it, but in all the world there is not a
richer section.
Baxter Springs news., 1918-08-30
JACK STRONGER AGAIN,
BRINGING $55 A TON
Producers Had Hoped II Might Go
to $50, But Spelter Weakened
and Car Shortage Developed. ..........

Zinc ore prices are stronger this
week, but not as much stronger as
producers had hoped. Most deals yes
terday, so far us could be learned last
night, were closed at $55 per ton, or
an increase of $3.50 over week ago.
Early in the week it appeared that
prices might possibly advance as much
as $3.50 to $50. In fact, it was stated
on the streets of MAMA Wednesday
that this would be the figure, but the
statement was evidently a little too
early. The price of spelter slumped
slightly; and the demand apparently
eased off.
What is considered as being a still
more effective reason for the failure
of jack to go to $50 is the shortage of
cars for shipping that is rapidly de-
veloping. For some companies the
shortage began to be noticeable two
weeks ago. This week it is becoming
really stringent in some cases, and
buyers usually have instructions not
to buy ore when there is no immediate
possibility of their getting it loaded.
One explanation for the car short
age and why it is more apparent this
summer than last is that there is not
now anywhere near the number OF
loaded cars being shipped into the Ok
lahoma field that there were year
ago. Then everything in that district
was in a tremendous boom. Now the
boom has flattened out to consider
able degree, and most of the 'empties'
for ore shipments have to be brought
in.

The shaft that is being sunk on the
Chubb land, six miles west of Baxter
known as the Montreal No. 2, is down
to depth of 130 feet, ten feet from
the ore. 1t is thought that the ore
which is ten feet deeper, will be
reached in about a week as the sink
ers are making rapid progress.
The Montreal people sunk a shaft
on the west end of the lease almost
to the ore but as it was jack and a
splendid run of lead was found where
the new shaft is located it was decided
to sink there first and finish the other
later.
The shafts will be worked by the

will not be definitely settled until

recruiting for this work is now in

should have sufficient money to buy
their meals enroute. He says:
"Please report to me not later than
noon Thursday of next week the num-
ber of men available (laborers and
