of beautiful lawn, embellished wit
shade trees. After Mr.. Slater remov

DEALERS ORDERED
 TO CANCEL STAMPS

Dealers are warned in statement issued by the Bureau of Internal Rev. ue that proprietary stamps by means of which the tax on toilet and medicinal articles is collected must be cancelled when the article is sold. Recently there have been received by the Bureau numerous uncanceled art icles purchased at drugstores.
 Regulations 51, relating to the col lections of the tax on toilet and medi- cinal articles, provide that each stamp affixed to a taxable article must be cancelled in such manner as to prevent it's further use.
 eff possible" the regulations state, ''the stamp should be affixed to the outside of the package or container of the taxed commodity so that upon opening the same the stamp will be destroyed. The initial or name of the vendor, together with the date when the stamp was affixed or cancelled, must appear on the cancelled stamp"
 This provision, the Bureau states, will be strictly enforced.
 The penalty for making use of a stamp to denote the tax imposed with out canceling the stamp is fine of not more than $100.

NET coEUR DE'ALENt.
 1918 PROFITS LARGE

Fourteen mines of the Occur d'Alen- es region of Idaho yielded $7,272,415 in net profits in 1918, according to statements just filed with the county auditor as required by law. This is comparable with net profits of $12,- 765,113 by twenty companies in 1917 and with $12,164,620 by seventeen companies in 1916. Statements for 1918 remain to be received from the Gold Hunter, Tamarack & Custer and other companies, but their net profits have not been sufficient to increase the total to figures of the last pre- vious year. The reductions result from curtailments in production and higher costs of operation.
 The gross receipts from fourteen mines was $24,093,2O3 in 1918, as compared with $39, 9,677, ,69S from twen- ty in 1917, and 2,SO0,79S from sev- enteen in 1916. The tonnage of 1918 was much less than that of the two last previous years. The outlay for betterment and repairs was less in 1918 than in several previous years. It included $92,240 by the Interstate Callahan, $S6,692 by the Hercules, $S21, ,504 by the Bunker Hill & Sul- Gvan and $14,700 by the Yukon Gold Company.

J. s. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE CONTINUES
 TO DO GOOD WORK

Secretary of Labor Wilson, through the Treasury Department, has asked Congress to appropriate through the Sundry Civil Bill $4,7O0,O00 for the maintenance of the United States Employment Service for the next fis- cal year beginning July 1. The Sec retary has stated that this sum is required to maintain 475 employment offices for the placement of civilian workers and to maintain the special soldiers and sailors placement work of the service.
 The service is now placing 65,OOO persons in employment weekly, ap- proximately 15,000 of them being soldiers and sailors who must find new employment. Before March 22, when failure of funds, necessitated a reduction in the field organization of the Service, the placement each week ran from S0,0O0 to100,00O.
 By arrangement with the War De- partment, all soldiers returning from overseas are being interviewed as to whether or not they need assistance to employment and those who need help are being directed to the reg ular offices of the Federal Employ ment Service and it's bureaus for re- turning soldiers and sailors through which the welfare organizations, chambers of commerce and other voluntary agencies are clearing their efforts on behalf of soldiers and sailors.
 At present outside funds, contrib uted by welfare associations, States, municipalities and private individuals, are keeping many of the offices of the Service in operation but these funds are available only till June 30, the outside support having been given on the assumption that Congress would provide for this work after July 1.
 In addition to asking this appro- priation for next year, Secretary Wilson has asked Congress fer legis- lation creating permanent national employment service.

Ships of ''Puffed Brick"
Scientific American


 Two puffed brick ships are soon to be launched at San Francisco. Brick layers are not however, employed in building this peculiar type of boat because with the mortar used a trowel welding laborer is not required.
 The "puffed brick used is made, like ordinary brick, of a peculiar clay containing low percentage of silica. Subjected to an intense heat, the brick puffs up like popcorn. The product looks something similar to coke and is about as light. Once puffed the bricks are ground to a dust and mixed with cement. This process, it is claimed, makes for a gain of about 40 per cent in the Gghtness of the ships walls without losing any of its strength. The ships forms are built in standardized sections and are hing ed with bolts 50 they can be forced up and put out of the way when the concrete hardens. After launching, the forms are quickly put back into place, steel re-enforcing rods installed, and the pouring of another shaip can be begun. According to experts in concrete ship-building this system makes it possible to turn out a 7,500 ton vessel every three months, and konly about 25 per cent of the lumber in the forms is wasted. The first two ships built of this material at San Francisco, each 7,500 ton oil tanks, are ready to be launched.

SUPfR-S0[D|ER
 WINS A BRIDE

On the green hillside in Fentress county, Tennessee, beside the big spring from which the Yorks have drawn their water for a hundred years or more, Sergt. Alvin c. York, hero of the Argonne drive, who per formed the greatest feat of the world war by capturing single handed a whole battalion of Germans, welded Miss Oracle williams of Pall Mall, Tenn. Gov. Albert Roberts performed the ceremony.
 People came from the mountains for miles around to attend the we'd ding, bringing baskets filled with chicken and ham and pies and cakes of every description. They spread their dinner as a nuptial feast.
 The big sergeant and his bride were dined upon the best the Cumberland Mountains afforded. People crowded around the bridal pair to shake hands and express wishes for their happi- ness. They knew York only as a hard working simple country boy, and not as a hero acclaimed by mill lions. They knew his bride as the prettiest girl in Wolf River Valley, and daughter of one of the country's leading citizens.
 Miss Williams who is IT years old, is fifteen years the junior of her hus- band, but in the mountains the girls marry early and though Miss Will Hams mother objected to the match, it was not because of the difference in age. The brides mother is now reconciled t her marriage to the ser geant, however, and was conspicuous in the big gathering.
 Miss Williams wore a new pink silk dress embroidered around the bottom in red and blue flowers. It had two wonderful little pockets on each of which were embroidered flags of the Allies sent to his girl sweet heart by Sergeant York on silk hand kerchiefs from France. The sergeant wore a new serge uniform with the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Croix de Guerre.
 He was attended by the Rev. MT. Pile, the Holiness preacher who con- verted York from the rounder and gambler to the second elder in the Church of Christian Union. Although he did not officiate, the parson was in his glory, for he takes credlt in part for the match. The bride is a distant cousin of MT. Pile.
 For honeymoon the sergeant and his wife went to Salt Lake City, as the guests respectively of the Chat tanooga and Nashville Rotary clubs. Mrs. Alvin York has never been out side of her native county and the admirers of her husband are blaming to make the trip to Salt Lake City memorable occasion for her. Sergt. York will be accompanied as far as Nashville on his honeymoon by his mother and the Rev. MT. Pile.
 Mrs. Mary York, the sergeant's mother, has not been as far as the county seat of Fentress county but twice in her life, and has never even cherished the hope of going to Nash vile.
