Why the weather bureau? This

WOMAN BOSSES Mine
Heads Corporation Controlled En-.

Operates Garnet Mine In Alaska and
Lead, Zinc and Silver Mines
in Arizona.

New York.-From the far West
there now comes to us the lady miner,
Miss Anna Durkee, organizer and con-
trolling element If q $1,000O0O cor
poration run entirely by women. Miss
Durkee operates a garnet mine in
southern Alaska and lead, zinc and sill
yer mines in Arizona. She is the lar
gest Individual mine owner in the Oat-
man district of Arizona, and the most
widely known woman in the mining
world.
1t was while she was in Alaska seven
years ago, investigating a proposition
in copper, that Miss Durkee first be-
came Interested in a garnet mine, was
given an option on it and finally took
it over in the name of a corporation
which had board of Is women direc-
tors.
At the beginning the mine did not
seem to amount to a great deal, but
as Miss Durkee began to develop the
first claim with which the corporation
started, veins were discovered opening
out in every direction, and as the work
continued the amazing fact dawned
that the entire mountain was a gigan-
tic mine of the beautiful crystals, with
ledges of garnets extending from the
sea level to a distance of $500 feet
up the mountain side.
But the greatest value of the deposit
consists in by-prOduct of garnet
waste, discovered by Miss Durkee,
who passed two years in a chemical
laboratory working it out. She had
observed that garnets when milled did
not fuse with iron or brass, and follow
ing this up, she discovered a new use
for the waste garnet, of which there
were hundreds of thousands of tons
Ground to certain mesh and put
through a secret process the waste gar
net makes a separating powder valu-
able in foundry work. she stated.
The garnets of Miss Durkee's mine
are of the finest variety, almandines.
Because Of their beauty and hardness,
geologists have given them the name
Of precious garnets."

Philadelphia.-So many boys under

YOUR QUESTION.

Young man, when you've donned the
uniform,
And are bidding your friends adieu,
When you're saying goodbye to the
little girl
Whom you're asking to wait for you;
There's softer feeling steals in your
heart
While in silence you hold her hands,
A feeling that makes you strong,
And you're sure she understands.
Her brave little heart is near o'er-
flowing,
But the answer you see in her eye,
A love light smile plays DER her face
And then-oh! then--a sad good
bye.
You leave her then for your coun-
try's sake,
For suffering humanity's call;
You go where "old Glory" bids you
To make autocracy fall.
You night the fight of freedoms
cause,
You march close to deaths hand;
But when at last Victory" is heard
Your tho'ts turn back to your native
land,
HER face looms up mid all the rest,
Brighter and brighter her sweet
smile grows.
To her you'll tell of your soldier life
To her-because she knows.
But way down deep in your selfish
heart,
This question you'd like to ask:
HAS she been true while ! was
gone?"
But to ask 1t seems task.
While you're thinking and wonder
ing, boy,
This question ask yourself, sir:
During my entire life away from
home.
Have been truesto herr"

CAPTAIN JACK IS ACQUITTED.
Says He Took Part with Other
Criminals" in Getting Insur-
ance Money Fraudulently.

Meridian, Miss, April 8.-Captain
Guy Jack, of Scooba, Miss, today
was acquitted by a jury here which
for the past week has been trying
him on charges Of criminal libel In
connection with alleged assertions
made by him in his book Guy Jacks
Iconoclast, recently published. The
verdict was received with deafening
applause from large audience, ma
ny of whom were women, who had
followed the trial from its begin
ming.
Captain Jacks book is alleged to
have contained a declaration that
Judge Robert f. Cochran. former
circuit court judge, had "bribed W..
F. Brown, county administrators Of
Kemper county, Miss, to withhold
suits against insurance companies, :"
Judge Cochran, 1t was brought out,
represented the insurance companies.
in eontesting alleged fraudulent in-
surance claims in Kemper county 20
years ago.
In his trial Captain Jack support
ed the allegation In his book by de-
claring that he was implicated in the
insurance frauds as deeply as the
.'other criminals" He admitted taxi
ing out insurance policies on per-
sons '.who were not expected to live
long" and testified that while he
was in the insane asylum in 1915
his wife received insurance money
on his life without his knowledge,
and when he learned of 1t he did
nothing about it, he said. because 1t
was "his wife's business. /"
Judge Cochran denied that he
committed dishonorable or wrong
full act in connection with the insur-
ance cases, and characterized the al
legged accusations in Captain Jacks
book as infamous lies"

tible liar, and him who repeats 1t in
the presence of any honest man or

of honor and unfit to breathe the

Il brand any statement rejecting
upon the loyalty or ndelity of my
wife as a miserable-li lie and denounee
the creature who gives utterance to
it as a moral and physical coward.

necessity of making mention Of
matter so purely personal, but be-
lieve every father, every brother, ev-
cry husband, every man who loves
the honor and integrity Of Mississip-
pi womanhood will agree with me
that / could not afford to let such
charge go unchallenged.

charge, if it should ever again be re-
peated, ask the man who makes it
if he will go before Oscar Johnston
and make that statement or vouch
for its truth"

WOOL SHIPPING INFORMATION,
County Agent Legett Gives advice to
Those Who Are Interested in
Wool Shipping.

The wool market for this season
has not opened UP to this time. AS
soon as receive quotations I will
give them out in the local papers
and post them on my bulletin board
at the court house.
Just as soon as all sheep in the
county have been sheared date for
shipping wool comparatively will be
Iset, and sll sheep raisers who care
lSS1 shin tIleir wool direct to market
r. Get very best price for their
wool may bring wool in on that date.
IN Lincoln county the best time to
shear sheep is from April Is to May
is. 1t is much better to use shear
ling machines instead of hand shears
as you will be able to get more wool,
will have fewer second cuts, will
save valuable time and will not have
near as many cuts on the sheep.
In tying wool the whole fleece
should be taken from the sheep and
placed on table with the body side
/ of the wool down. Remove all tags
from the wool as they sell for only
about one-third the value of clean
wool. If tags are left in with the
rest Of the fleece they will decrease
the selling price. Roll up the fleece
with the body side out so there are
no stray ends or locks of wool hang
| ing loose. Tie each fleece with a
four ply paper fleece twine. Use
no more twine than necessary. Do
not use any but paper strings as
other strings shed a fur.
In packing wool wrap all ram
fieeces and all black or gray feeces
in paper so that they will not mix
with the other WOOL Pack bury
fleeces separate from feeces that are
not bury. Pack similar grades of
wool in the same sack. All sacks
should be packed as tight as possible
SO as to make the package small.
Attention to these points aids the
grader and results in higher price
for the wool to the farmer. Pack
wool in sacks that are clean and
closely woven. If the wool is stored
keep 1t in q clean, dry place.

In an address at Aberdeen, Hon
Oscar Johnston, candidate for Gov
ernor, did not hesitate to denounce
his wife's traducers, in the most en-
phatic manner. He had received an
anonymous letter rejecting upon his
wife's character, and after making
that statement said:
''In order that / may not succumb
under the stress of feeling under
which must labor on such an occas-
ion, to the temptation to say some
thing more than should be said,
have taken the precaution to reduce
to writing the statement that pro-
pose to make.
II have believed that anonymous
communications should be ignored,
but there are exceptions to all rules.
and there comes a time when even
rumor, for which you may be able to
find no father, no responsible source,
arises to that degree of common
knowledge and discussion as to de-
mand an answer. ! propose to an
swer rumor; it may or may not
have peryaded to the confines of
Monroe county. 1 sincerely trust
that it may not have; If not, then all
is well and good, and If 1t has, my
answer is made.
Shortly after I entered the polit-
ical ring friends told me that some
scoundrelwas circulating rumor to
the effect that / had given up my
law practice and gone into the army
because of domestic troubles. This
lie was so absurd that it was its ref
utation. The fact that had wound
up my law practice and turned over
to my wife every dollar, cash and
property, that possessed, and that
she accompanied me to camp, both
while l was a private and later, after
was commissioned, remained con-
stantly near me until was prepar-
ing to go overseas, was too well
known to all who know to allow SO
vicious lie to make headway.
