RICH vein OF GOLD
IS FOUND IN WALES
Problem Is Whether tho King
viii Claim It as OF
Y0re.

The discovery Of a rich vein Of gold
near yarmouth, Wales, bids fair to re-
vive the old question as to whom do
the mines containing gold belongf
Gold has been discovered In the
Welsh hills at many places In the past,
but II 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 paying one.
Some years back Mr.. Prichard Nor
gan invested 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 q 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 a license to work the de-
posit on terms that will allow the pro-
moters to be repaid for their expendi-
ture Of capital and labor costsf

to public streets and alleys and bene-
fits derived by public parks and public
places, which said amount has been
fixed and determined by this Commits
sion at the sum of Eight Hundred
Sixty-eight and 28-100 Dollars. Such
assessment shall be made according to
benefits, which in the opinion of said
assessor, each separate and single par
eel of land shall receive from said
public improvement.
Said special assessment roll shall be
made by special assessor in accordance
with the provisions of the charter of
the City of East Jordan and the statutes
of the State of Michigan the entire
assessment levied against each lot or
parcel of land shall not exceed Is per
cent of the assessed valuation of such
lot or parcel of land according to the
last proceeding assessment roll, nor
shall said special assessment roll ex-
coed per cent of said valuation in
any one year; and in case it shall be
made to appear that any such assess
ment shall exceed such amount, the
amount of the excess shall be paid by
the City of East Jordan at large out of
the general fund, over the amount
legally assessable against such lot or
parcel of land shall be and remain a
lien upon the same, further
Resolved that such assessment when
so made, shall be divided into five
equal parts, one part to be collected
each and every year thereafter until
the whole amount is paid, with the
privilege of paying the whole amount
at the time OF paying the first assess
ment. The time and manner of the
collection thereof shall be determined
by this Commission in a resolution to
be hereinafter adopted.
Adopted by the City Commission of
the City of East Jordan on the Goth day
of October, A. d. 1919 by an aye and

DOUBLES OATS CROP
Farmer Finds That Cross Breeding
Brings Good Results.

BY cross breeding oats, William
Schumacher, farmer near Waverly,
La, has developed an oats crop which
during the last two years has amount
ed to double that of his neighbors.
This year his crop averaged eighty
bushels to the acre. Nearby crops aver
aged thirty to forty bushels. Last

102 bushels.
Schumacher began breeding oats
nine years ago. The start was made
with three kernels. The oats was cross.
bred at that time with pollen from
Ames. Since that time he has care.
fully selected the best stalks from his
fields. This yer the product from his
original three grains Of oats was 2,40O
bushels, and In sorting out the best
producing hills he found one kernel
that produced twelve stalks Of oats.
The total number of seeds the one
kernel produced was 2,410. The nor.
NAL production from one stalk Is 1fty
kernels.

touching the Soldier vote" all candi-

office in the primary elections to be
held in August this year, are request
ed to send their names, together with
the offices to which they aspire, in
writing, to the chairman of the coun'

names may be communicated to the
soldiers in the service of the United
States, that they may know how to
make cut their tickets, which they in
turn, are required to send sealed to

chairman Of the county committee.

the United States are pointing ont
that poor people in the United States
are gaining most from the effects Of
the war.
The rich manufacturer is watching
his profits go in the shape of war
taxes and war profits. Congress has
seen to that. The people with the
smaller incomes are losing propor-
tionally less through taxation. Fur
thermore, the money they have invest
cd and will invest in government se-
curities and Liberty bonds will make
them collectively, the heaviest cred
itors in the future.
If it were the other way around, if
the rich were financing the war by the
buying of bonds and the people with
the smaller incomes were doing their
war financing in the shape of taxes,
the reverse would be true. If that
were the situation, then the poor OF
the next generation would be taxed
to pay the interest and the principal
Of the war loans that were held by the
rich. This is what happened after the
Civil War. AS it is now the poor man
with few Liberty Bonds is in far
different circumstances to what tha.
same poorman would have been after
the Civil War.
+ Emphatically this last war was net
"a rich mans war and poor
mans fight" It was everybody's
fight as we all know who watched
the workings Of the draft law, but it
willbe the poor mans profit if the poor
man will just have sense enough to
hang on to his Liberty bonds and get
more of them at every opportunity.
That is why the poor man who is
wise in his day and genreation will
buy as many Fifth Liberty Loan notes
(short-term) as he possibly can and
hang on to them. He will buy as
an investment, knowing that the ricn
man who sought profit from the war
is seeing those profits go in the shape
of heavy war profits taxation and see
that the rich mans money taken in
this taxation is being used to pay the
interest on the bonds held by the
poor man.
