SOLDIERS TO RECEIVE
$4,000 BONUS
Men Released Since April 10
to Benefit Under New

Section 1406 of the revenue act
approved February "a, 1919, au-
thorized the payment of bonus
of $4,000 to officers, soldiers, field
clerks and nurses of the Army
upon honorable separation from
active service by discharge, resig-
nation or otherwise. This bonus is
not payable to the heirs or repre-
sentatives of any deceased soldier.
Those who are discharged here
after will receive this bonus on the
same roll or voucher upon which
they are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharg-
ed and have received their final
pay without the $4,000 bonus
should write a letter to the zone
finance officer, Lemon Building,
Washington, D. c., stating their
service since April =, 1917, the date
of last discharge and their present
address to which they desire their
bonus checks to be sent, and en-
closing with this letter their dis
charge certificate or military order
for discharge and both, if both
were issued.
Upon the receipt by the zone Off
Ger, Washington, D. c., of this in
formation and the soldiers dis
charge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and mail
ed to the claimants in the order in
which their claims were received
by him. The discharge certificate
will be returned to the soldier with
the check.
1t is estimated that at least one
million and a quarter persons have
been discharged from the service
who are entitled to the benefits o.
this Act, and while payments viii
be made as expeditiously as prac
ticable, it will manifestly take con
siderable time to write and mai
, this many checks.

Is Now Director
of Camp Athletics

Lieut.. E. P. Jolls, C.. A. c., is
now stationed with the 18th Grand
Division, in France, near the town
of Romorantin, which was the Am
erican flying center during the
war. While attached to the 3Oth
Company of this division, Lieuten-
ant Jolls has charge of the ath-
letics of the whole camp of more
than 5000 men, and from his let
ters home, he is kept pretty busy.
On one day he had four games of
basketball, three prize-fghts, five
wrestling bouts, in addition to the
other athletic training and keep
ing the baseball and football teams
up to the mark.
Lieutenant Jolls, better known
to Newarkers as "Eph" writes of
interesting experiences and OBJ
servations at the front, among
them that of seeing Lieutenant
Maynard who holds the worlds
record for flying.
In the same camp with Lieuten-
ant Jolls is Lieutenant Croft, a
half brother of State Senator Hol-
lett, of Clayton. George Hukill of
Middletown, has been visitor at
the camp and he has been in COM
munication with John Hukill, and
also Davis Bell of Smyrna. Croft
and Bell are both Delaware Col
lege men and were in Jolls' class
at college. These appear to be all
the Delaware bays with whom ne
has been brought in contact.
He says that rumors are thick
that he may be able to return te
this country by June l, although
he is expecting to be sent to either
the Paris University or one of the
big English universities at gov
ernment expense for post graduate
work in certain branches. He i!

 The company has been maintaining $4 dividend this year with earnings running below the amount paid al though in the past several years Anaconda has shown large surplus above the dividends. In 1918 the surplus for the stock equaled S11.50 per share; in 1917, s17; in 1916, $24.35 and in 1915, $7.16. This makes over $6O per share in four years during which S27.50 was paid to the shareholders leaving 8 surplus to be carried to the property of $35 per share. As a re- suit of this conservative policy the company has built up it's profit and loss surplus from under $S,00O,O 900 in

i woefully short of fuel, with the for eign exchange situation what it is to- day, with production costs higher than they were ever before-the path of the copper companies Is not an easy one.
 Nevertheless we intend to keep go- Ing. We hope that the peace treaty will be ratified, that foreign credits will be arranged and that for several years this nation will enjoy a period of prosperity. We are too rich to have a panic.
 Must Be Prepared
 "But our very wealth constitutes a menace. Anyone who thinks that for eign countries are going to let this na- tion, the richest nation the world has ever seen, enjoy it's prosperity in peace, undtsturbed, is very much mis- taken. We must be prepared to pro tect what we have, and today we are in an unprotected condition. Our army is badly disorganized.
 France is mounting her big guns in the Rhine country. Germany is growing stronger every day. We are unpopular because we profiteered off the allies for three years before we went into the war. Yet We are going blithely along, serenely unconscious of danger"
 November Output
 In regard to the United Verde Ex- tensions operations, MT. Douglas said that the. November production was only 2,000,000 pounds, as against g. S00,00 pounds in October. This was due to the collapse of part of the root at the shelter and to other untoward circumstances. It is expected that this month the production will be equal to that of October.
 The ore that is being smeIted aver ages around 15 per cent copper. MT. Douglas thinks, however, that it will not be long before that company will be compelled to treat ore of lower grade.
 We cannot expect the ore from the lower levels to be as rich as that from the upper workings" he explained.
 Ore trains have been running through the haulage tunnel for some days. The officers of the company are highly pleased with the tunnel. Though it cast the company a stag gering sum, it is going to pay for it. self many times over by eliminating hoisting and tramming costs.
 No ore is now being hoisted to the top though the tramway is still op- erating on ore that was in the bins when the tunnel railroad was placed in commission.
 Much work remains to be done on the 120-foot level, which is the level at which the tunnel enters the mine. The ore pockets are not finished and the skips in the new Audrey shaft are not operating. In the meantime ore. is being hoised to the 1900 through the Edih saft ad trammed over to the pockets from which the railroad cars are loaded. The Edith is being raised from the 1700 to the 1400.
Bisbee daily review., 1919-12-21

Unless something which we cannot now foresee occurs, the United Verde Extension positively will not close its mine or shelter. Our intention is to continue operating at the present rate until the copper market justifies an in crease in our output"
 That statement was made to tho Verde Copper News in Jerome recent ly by James S. Douglas, president of the Extension company.
 In making this declaration, Presi- dent Douglas set at rest vague and in- definite rumors which for several weeks have created feeling of un- easiness throughout the district. It had been reported that the Extension was to suspend because of lack of coal, because it could not sell it's cop per-or just because.
 Fuel Shortage
 "The fuel shortage is a serious mat ter,'' admitted MT. Douglas. More than a week ago we used up the last of the coal we had on hand at the shelter when the coal strike was call ed. The United Verde was kind enough to lend us 700 or 800 tons. Now that is nearly gone and we have arranged to borrow about that much more. This will be the last loan, how ever, as our. big neighbors cannot spare us any more.
 Our consumption is about 100 tons a day when the reverberatory furnace is in operation. If necessary We can shut down the reverberatory and save a great deal of fuel by using the blast furnace.
 Now that the coal strike is ended we have hopes of getting fuel from the regular sources before. the borrow supply is exhausted"
 Selling No Metal
 President Douglas stated further that his company is not selling any copper and has marketed practically no metal for months. As fast as the copper is produced at the shelter it is shipped to the refinery where it is accommodating in large volume.
 The coal strike has itnerfered with the consumption of copper" he eX- plained. Recently 1 entered into ne gotiations with some French manufac- turers to sell them 100000 pounds of Messemer a month, to be shipped through the port of New Orleans and transported across the ocean as bal last in cotton ships. They had their own refinery, which was the reason they could take unrefined copper. But l received a letter in when they stat ed that while my proposition was a fair one, they could not accept it at this time. The reason?. The French refinery has had to shut down be cause of America's coal strike Only a day or two after the strike was call ed ship arrived in New York for cargo of coal to be used in that re- finery. The ship is here yet, for ex- portations of coal was immediately shut off by the fuel administration.

THE WHIT { STONE.

Tinker Bob was learning fast the
great story Of life, and II pleased him.
He was much Interested In the work
and troubles of these new friends and
hoped he might always be with them.
He took the white stone out OF his
pocket. II looked 80 pure and clean
that he hated to rap 1t against the
gray one. but he knew that was the
only way to find out Its story.
AS he tapped the stones in his de-
sire to 60 forth and know more, the
beautiful creature stood at his side
again--this time In a robe of white,
all decorated with sparkling jewels.
where do we go2" asked Tinker. as
he gazed upon the matchless beauty
of the creature.
ITO hear a beautiful story" came tho
answer.
II was no more than said until they
were away. And in an instant Tinker
found he was standing by the side OF
a farmers garden wall. In the garden
we're flowers Of all kinds waving. their
heads in the morning breeze.
Tinker heard q faint cry. 1t sound
I'D close to the wall. He listened Qui-
etly and he heard 1t again. Looking
carefully along the wall, his eyes be-
held a terrible sight. There was the
Garden Adder with Brother Toad In
his mouth.

The Garden Adder Just grinned and
held fast.
Tinker Bob was sorry to think
there had been a quarrel between the
adder and Brother Toad.

THOSE InREI eIRlS.

J, They were nice girls. with good man
ners. On the street car they chatted
and laughed quietly with no desire to
attract attention. They were out to-
gether perhaps to see n picture show,
mayhap to call on friend, and were
enjoying each others society hugely.
But one girl stood out from the 9TH
er two. All we're nice and good look
ing girls but she seemed tho incest
and looked best. Two of the girls wore
those transparent waists cut very low
in the neck. The incest girl wore a
serge suit that fitted her modestly and
a sort Of vest with a collar. The other
girls both had nice shoes. colored ones,
with those abominable French heels.
This girl wore a pair Of nicely fitting
rather broad >toed shoes with low mil
itsry heels.
The serge suit girl wouldn't attract
attention anywhere merely for her
clothes, their color or the exaggerated
fashion Of them: but she attracted at
tention. It wasn't the clothes but the
girl in the clothes. Instinctively It was
to be recognized that she was fine and
modest. Some one, a good man let US
hope. is going to find . good wife in
a serge suit some day and live happily
ever after.
Girls who dress modestly and quiet
ly these days are like lilies In field
Of sunflowers. After the half dressed
fashions that have been inflicted upon
suffering older generation they are
as rock in a weary land.
It's a pity there are not more serge
suited. vested and collared girls to look
at. They rest the eyes.
