MARY ANN STARTS
NEW DRILL CAMPAIGN

A prospect drill is being operated
by the Mary Ann company in the
Kansas Oklahoma field. The drilling
is being done by Jesse Short under
contract.
The Mary Ann, one of the best mills
in the district, has been unable to, get
a sufficient supply of dirt to keep the
mill in constant operation. The mill
shaft has not been extensively devel-
oped, and it is with a view to locating
better ore body to be worked from
this shaft that the prospect drilling
is being done.
The richest dirt now being run over
the mill comes from a field shaft sew
eral hundred feet west of the plant.
The dirt is hauled to the mill over a
miniature railroad by a horse.
The Mary Ann is on a forty acre
tract of land owned by W. W. Scott,
of Baxter Springs, and joins the Hut
tig on the west.

LUCKY JEW WILL BUILD
TWO NEW MODERN MILLS

Two modern and completely equip
ped 30O-tOn mills are TO be built on
the forty acre tract recently develop
ed by the Lucky Jew Zinc and Lead
Company near Treece, Kan, in that
wonderfully rich field in the neigh
borhoOd of the Lawyers and U. S.
properties.
One mill is to be located on each
half of the forty, two shafts having
been sunk to ore. About seventy
holes have been drilled and very few
Of them have proven to be blanks, the
others showing very rich deposits of
both jack and lead.
The contract for the mills was let
this week and work is to begin at
once. The modern devices approved
by successful miners in this section
are to be installed.
Ira Smith of Commerce is president
Of the company; w. M. West Of Kan
sas City is secretary-treasurer and
John West Of Commerce superintend-
ent.

SALE OF II ARMY CAMPS
FOR S54S,OOO APPROVED

Washington, May 6.-Approval Of
the sale of twelve army camps eight
national guard concentration sites and
four small miscellaneous camps-fOr
total of more than $54S, 900, was an
nounced today by Acting Secretary
Crowell.
War department officials evidenced
satisfaction with the results obtained,
the material covered by the sale con-
sisting almost exclusively Of hastily
constructed buildings and some stored
equipment. The government has re-
served for its own use the base hos
pitals and storage warehouses.
Forty-four bids were received from
thirty-six individuals and corporations
the largest single proposal being from
one large wrecking company, which
offered to take all the camps for a
price approximately $4,000. The
proposal was rejected largely because
of the desire of the department to
turn over to cities adjacent to certain
camps, the sanitary and other utilities
which could be used advantageOusly
for the benefit of their populations.
No satisfactory bid having been re
ceived for Camp Sewer, s. c., it was
announced that this camp would be
offered at another sale.

SALVATION BARS TO
REPLACE SALOONS

to squander his weeks earnings or IA
become 80 befuddled that he would BE-
robbed Of them by the criminal classes
who thrive by taking advantage Of the
drunkard. In the new type saloon the
extravaganza Of the treating habit
cannot flourish.
Seek Corner Leases
"The first step Of the Salvation
Army" she said, "will be to acquire in
the City Of New York the leases Of
saloons which have been closed at
much frequented street corners and to
convert these establishments to their
new uses. The same fixtures will be
kept and in many cases the same en-
ployes will be retained. All the bev-
erages will be free from alcohol, but
with that exception there will not be
many changes at first evident.
"The often unwholesome free lunch
will 90 into the discard and will be re-
placed by good, wholesome food served
In an attractive manner. Customers
who would like to have their food and
drink served to them while they lean
comfortably against the polished bar
and with one foot on the brass rail
may have their wish. Tables will also
be provided for those who would pre-
fer to sit either singly or in social
groups. Members Of the Salvation
Army do not smoke, but the fragrant
wreaths from cigarette and cigar will
not be barred, just as they were not in
the Salvation huts and dugouts be-
yond the seas"

FEET AND THE MOVIES

How do you stand-squarely on
your feet, or in an unnatural and un-
healthful position? And what are
your shoes like? Are they clean, neat,
suited to your occupation, with even
self-respecting heels, or are they
dirty, in need of blacking, and with
heels run down? In short, are you one
of the great army to whom the word
"slip-shod" applies in all its original
meaning?
The moving pictures have been tell
ing tales. Pictures have been made Of
individual feet, Of feet in hurrying
crowds, of feet standing still and feet
in motion. The result is said to be 30
side-splittingly funny that the audi
ence permitted to view the films rocks
with laughter and wipes the tears
from its eyes. But also it casts sur
reptitious glances at its own pedal ex-
tremeties, and in nine cases out Of ten
draws them hastily back under the
seat.
Which is just as it should be. For
the pictures are not intended to be
merely mirth-provoking; they have q
serious purpose, that Of making peo-
pie realize the effect upon the appear
ance which comes from being badly
shod and the effect on bodily health
and grace of throwing the entire body
out of plumb by wearing heels which
are rundown and uneven.
A wide publicity could be wished
for these pictures, since they strike at
a very common failing, and it would
hardly be possible for anyone to get
view of them and not highly resolve
that he, at least, would never add to
the mirth of the world by ventureing
forth improperly shod.

All Of the Old Equipment, In
cluding the Bar Tenders, win
Be Retained-SOft Drinks
win Be Sold Customers

Commander Evangeline Booth, head
Of the Salvation Army in this country
has announced that the Salvation
Army would endeavor after July 1
when war prohibition goes into effect
to take over a string Of saloons from
ocean to ocean and border to border
and that a well-defined movement In
that direction had already been start
ed.
an these saloons the army" added
Miss Booth, twill retain the bar and
brass-rail features, but will serve only
the most harmless Of soft drinks. In
other words, the plan calls for great
chain of soft-drink saloons which will
be run as far as possible as clubs fol-
workingmen and women. The main
hold of the saloon upon the working
man is the opportunity" said Miss
Booth, at offers for comradeship.
"The saloon has its appeal and map
is a creature of social instincts. We
must recognize that at times he pre-
fers the society Of men to that Of wo-
men. Fifth avenue has its clubs;
Third avenue its saloons, in which
may may be found bright lights
pleasing furniture, glistening glass
and above all, good fellowship. It is
a perversiop that often the same sa-
loon that brings together those who
are honest and manly may also shelter
social vice in its vilest form. :
Psychology of Brass Rails
"The Salvation Army has within
the last few weeks demonstrated in
its province of New York the psy-
chology> of the brass rail. There is
something about the shining bar which
brings all men to a common footing.
The easy and relaxed attitude Of those
who lean against the mahogany or
cherry suggests solid comfort. Be
cause wine and beer are to go, shRil
not a man take his ease in his own
inn?
therefore at our newly opened
hotel in West Forty-seventh street we
have kept the bar and the brass rail,
and the bartender back of them. Al
though soft drinks are served there
instead of hard ones, this barroom OF
the new era glows with good cheer.
The Salvation Army would deprive nc
man of his livlihood. There are many
bartenders of genial personality and
good character who could just as well
remain behind the soft drink bar as
not"
Commander Booth continued that
there was no reason why the saloon
should keep the married man from his
home or fireside, especially as under
the new regime it would be q place
where it would be impossible for him
