RICH VEIN OF GOLD
 IS FOUND IN WALES
Problem Is Whether the King Will Claim It as of
 Tore.

The discovery of rich vein of gold near Barmouth, Wales, bids fair to re- vive the old question as to whom do the mines containing gold belong?
 Gold has been discovered in the Welsh hills at many places in the past, but it has seldom been worked for long. The discovery usually has been followed by claim from the crown for the greater part of the product, and the miners have not found the business a paying one.
 Some years back Mir. Prichard Nor gan invested a considerable sum in de- veloping some of these mines, but the authorities claimed the greater part } of the output, and though the gold seeker sought the aid of the courts he lost his case on the ground that all gold was the property of the king.
 Since that period little attention has been given to these gold bearing dis tricts. Just before King George V mar ried Queen Mary a certain amount of work was done with the object of col lecting enough Welsh gold to make the wedding ring.
 The new discovery Is said to yield quartz giving two ounces of gold per ton. The question now Is, will the king grant license to work the de. posit on terms that will allow the pro motors to be repaid for their expendi. ture of capital and labor costs?

 Police Gave lt to Him.
 John May, aged hermit. who lives in a dilapidated shack in the river bottoms at Dallas. Tex, has been given his annual haircut. shave and bath. The police did the tonsorial act and also administered the scrubbing. It took several of the cops to do 1t. for John is a strong man and put up a determined struggle throughout the performance. He went to the police station with grizzly hair and beard which reached almost to his waist He came away with a smooth face and head and smelling like high priced toilet water.
 John makes his living by mending tinware and his customers did not recognize him when he came around the next day.
 'It's not my fault, lady" said John as one of the women failed to recog- nize him. "Them loaf1ng cops are what did it."
 John got his first haircut. shave and bath in twenty years last year, when the policemen ran him in and trimmed him up.

BOYS LIFE IS SAVED
Hurt While Hanging Suspended From
 an Electric Wire.

Howard Zellner, ten-year-old boy, the other day hung suspended in mid air 20 feet from the earth, holding on to an electric light wire, through which 2,300 volts of electricity was passing, until the current was turned of.
 Then he fell. and several men who tried to break his fall failed, and as a result he had deep hole in his head. His index finger was entirely burned off by the current and several other fingers are burned to the bones. Zellner climbed the pole on Arch street while playing, and grasped hold of the wire. ignorant of the consequences. Ills life was saved because John Zerbey, an electrician, saw his peril and had the current cut of. but his condition is critical.

NEGROES WOULD RETURN.
Hear the Call of the Fields, But
 Need Transportation.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 22.-Ne- groes in the north and east, who were born and reared in the south and who do not know the ways of their new friends, have heard the call of the south and her corn fields. They are willing, in fact anxious tp again come back home according to a letter received ir Montgomery by Capt. w. R. Greene secretary of the Farmers Protect. i've League, from w. L. Uushaw of Cincinnati, Ohio.
 MT. Upshaw writes Captain Green that he is able to supply the farmers and others with negro la- borers who are willing to do al- most anything" The negroes left the south-thousands from Ala bama-to seek fortunes in the north. They are disappointed and are said to be getting cold re- ception.
 The negroes are without funds and the person who gets them will have to do some Thigh financing"
 Mir. Greene called attention to the warnings that have always been given negroes to stay in the state. The warnings had little effect in checking the exodus. The negroes have come to the said realization, he said, that they are treated well in the south.
 Because of the warnings given the negroes Mir. Greene believes the farmers will be slow to advance money for the return of the men and women. There is now a serious scarcity of laborers in the state for the farms.

STACKED GRAIN
OFFERS ADVANTAGES

One of the first precautions to be
observed in the control of the hessian
fly is to pillow all wheat stubble as ear
ly as possible after harvest. Early
blowing has also proven advantageous
in the production of large wheat
crop the succeeding year. These two
items form an excellent reason for
stacking wheat as soon as the binder
has been over the field. Whether or
not it will pay the farmer to stack
his grain is a question for him to ans
wer.
Other advantages from stacking are
pointed out by the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. Thresh-
ing from the stack saves the labor of
several men and teams. Also, the
threshing can be done at any time
most convenient. These items con-
Germ the housewife to great extent.
If threshing can be done after the hot
season has passed, and fewer workmen
are to be fed, the dread of threshing
will be largely obviated. Wheat
threshed from stacks is usually better
in quality; it grades higher because
of it's better color and weight.

from the district which embraces Vir-

Kentucky. Not only was the move
ment given endorsement, but the con-
vention pledged itself to do all in its
power to advance it. 1t was the sense
of the convention that thrift should
become national habit, inasmuch as
the great promise of Americas indus
trial and commercial power lies in
the ability of the people to conserve
the country's resources and supervise
expenditures Of material and money

A NEW ENTERPRISE

A move is about to be launched in
Bonnie Terre to organize stock COM
pany to purchase all the abandoned
mining shafts in the Lead Belt, and
leave them where they are until after
army rehabilitation is effective, which
,will be soon, and after which liquor
will be sold to Jan. 10th, 1920. The
plan is to ship the whole shafts or
rather the shaft holes, as vacuum
filters in dirigible balloons, to the va
rious cities and towns where cellars
are already filled, and cut the holes in
to storage cellars, for which there
will be a great demand at enormous
prices.

bought stock in damsite bigger fool
schemes than this would be.--Bonne

HOW UNCLE SAM s
MONEY LOOKS TO
BOYS IN KHAKI
TRAINED NEWSPAPER MAN SAYS
U. s. PROMISE TO PAY rs BEST
MONEY ExTANT.
HOW TROOPS HoARDED 1T
War Taught Thousands Value Of
Money and the Necessity of
Saving II.

Just how good American money
looks to man away from home Is
illustrated in the story told by one OF
those boys in khaki who fought in
France, in the war for the preserva-
ton of civilization and who afterwards
saw service across the border in Ger
many.
Sergt. H. H. Coffee was attached to
Company L, 354th Infantry, and for
six months was at Trier, Germany, 30
miles from Luxembourg. Now he is
back in old Missouri and fills desk
at the Western Newspaper Union.
while we were in France" said
Sergt. Coffee, 1--WE were paid in French
money. And afterward, when we were
in Germany, we we're paid in German
money.
1.-THE difference in the French and
German money, as compared with
United States money, Is amazing. 1t
is printed on white paper, Of an infe-
rior quality. and one gets an awful
wad of it for comparatively small
quantity of American money.
when we got this foreign stun the
boys were very liberal with it. They
would gamble with It, would lend 1t
and handled 1t very carelessly. But
when we got to Brest, on our way
home, and all that bum money was ex-
changed for real American money, all
that liberality disappeared and it was
guarded zealously."
That is one of the lessons the war
has taught. American money, any
promise to pay on the part Of Uncle
Sam, is mighty valuable in the eyes of
loyal, red blooded, patriotic Ameri-
can.
That is why the Liberty Bonds
found so ready market, and that is
why the War Savings Stamps look just
like money. They are money-with
this added, the Government pays in
terest on $500 War Savings Stamp,
while it does not on a $500. They
are both simply evidences of indebted
ness on Uncle Sans part and his writ
ten promise to pay. There is no rec.
ord yet that he ever failed to meet an
obligation.

THRIFT FOLLOWS BARBECUE

On occasion the organizers of War
Savings Societies have their lots cast
in most happy places, and the reports
that find their way to headquarters
are of real interest.
o. P. Stark, one of the Arkansas
field workers, on a recent visit to
Danville, Yell county, went through
one of these experiences, and his re-
port to Moorhead Wright, State Di-
rector at Little Rock, was replete
with happy relation of the facts.
Stark was evidently unaware that
the members of the Yell County Boys
Pig Club and the Girls Canning Club
were to have field day on that par
ticular time. The downtown streets
were deserted, many of the stores
were closed, and inquiry revealed the
reason.
Stark followed the throngs and was
Just in time to reach the place of as
sembly before the huge joints of juicy
beef, lambs and fowls had been re-
moved from spits placed above trench
es dug deep in the ground, where a
bed of glowing embers was even yet
adding coat of brown to the meats,
and was freeing savory odors that
conjured up visions of the feasts en-
joyed by Robin Hood and his forest
rovers in the heart of Sherwood For
est in Merrie, England.
And when the feast was spread the
viands were attacked with gusto and
ample justice was done.
Then the boys told about their ven
ture in pigs, and the handiwork of the
girls in the art of food preservation
was dwelt on in words, and their
wares sampled.
But this was not all. Thrift had a
place on the program. j. c. Cham
bers told of the value of the Campaign
of Thrift planned by the United States
Treasury Department, and how, what
the boys and girls had accomplished
was the outgrowth of that campaign.
He explained the value Of the War
Savings Societies that were springing
up all over the country, and told the
boys and girls that ell they had &C
complished would count for naught
did they not practice real saving. He
told of the advantages of Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps,
which he said would pave the way for
prosperity when those who were boys
and girls now had reached manhood
and womanhood. Chambers said
there should be at least 95 such coun-
ties in Yell county.

BLIND MISs0URIAN
RAISES POULTRY

After attending several meetings of
poultry enthusiasts in Cole county, E.
o. Jones of Jefferson City decided to
90 into the poultry business. Mr..
Jones is blind, but he could see fu-
ture in the poultry industry in Mis-
souri,. Unaided, he constructed two
section, two-story, poultry house and
equipped it in approved style. His
flock consists of birds of laying age
and some spring Matched chicks.
The efficiency shown in all his
work is a surprise to any visitor, says
H. E. Cosby Of the University Of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture, who has.
called on Mr.. Jones to give him in
struction. The work has been done
well in spite of all handicaps. Mr..
Jones does not stop at providing good
equipment; he uses progressive meth
DDS in handling his flock. His method
of recording the eggs produced is
unique. A small section of hardware
cloth one-fourth inch mesh is tackled
to a board In the first vertical col
umn he uses tacks to designate each
hen. In the horizontal columns he
sticks tacks to record the days on
which each hen lays. In this way the
records are kept for month. At the
end of the month the tacks are re-
moved for a new start.
Mr.. Jones is now attempting to or
ganize a poultry club at the institu-
ton, with the assistance of the home
demonstration agent. He is also look
ing forward to the time when he will
be operating a poultry farm Of con-
siderable size, While he is novice
at the work, and his enterprise is
small, his ambition will doubtless car
ry him along toward the realization of
his ambition.

Because of danger from fire, some
farmers hesitate to stack their grain.
That is a risk which must be assumed,
although it can be shared with an in
surance company on a short-time pol
icy. Naturally, it adds to the ex-

The farmer must decide whether it
