SOLDIERS UNANIMOUS
 FOR THE MONDELL BILL

"Like mama from heaven to the penniless soldier" is the description given by former Governor Wm. Spry of Utah to the Mondell soldiers set clement bill at a hearing before the house committee on public lands. He appeared as a member of the special commission appointed by Governor Bamberger, of Utah, to represent that state in cooperating with the federal government to carry out the purposes of the bill. .,
 "This is not a sectional measure" |" said Spry, flor every state of the Union can receive benefits under it. If any state does not benefit it will be the fault of that state, and not of the bill. To my certain knowledge there are large tracts of cutover tim Der lands and wet lands in the South even that can be reclaimed and util- ized under its provisions. Thousands of acres of cutover lands in the North
 west can be made available for settle.
 ment. Arid lands in the West can be reclaimed and abandoned farms and waste lands of the North and East can be brought back into productivity. Every soldier of the great war will receive benefits from this proposed legislation, either direct or indirect. The American Legion in national and state meetings has supported it. It is unanimously favored by the soldiers" |"

(By Rips.) An me, the cruel war is over,
 And the Tanks are going home Back to dear old Colorado,
 Or perhaps to Arizon'. Some are going to Indiana,
 Some to Kansas and the West; Some, alas, in France are sleeping, In their long, eternal rest. How those Yankees fought like de-
 mons!
 Devil Dogs and Treat Elm Rough! Praying God for strength and courage, Swearing some to make 'em tough! Hell was popping all around us!
 Shells were bursting everywhere! Fire was belching from the cannons! Death was leaping from the air! Every Tank was pumping lava Taking air and shooting straight! Filing Huns up in their trenches Sending them to meet their fate. As for me--ah, well, no matter It was little I could do- Just plod on through shell and chatter, AI"oso hoPiiiS you SSe tiiouSl. Yes, I've packed your food and water; Been with you through all the fight; Got a hole shot thru my shoulder Lost an ear that awful night! You remember, don't you Buddy, When you stood there by my side? We'll, it hurt some, I'll say it,
 But it wounded more my pride. You, too have stripes that you'll carry Back to dear old U. S. A.; And I'd like to go back with you Lawd a-mercy, how I'd bray! Yes, old boy, you're going to leave Going home across the sea But your Uncle's boat is loaded, And there is no room for me. But I'm hardly worth the passage, I'm broken down and in the way; Not as sound as when they took me From Missouri on that day. But peace or no peace, if you leave

 I will wait hundred years To kick hell out of that Jerry
 Who shot the tip off one my ears!

SOLDIER BOYS COME HOME

Clarence Durham, Albert Smith and Metzger came home last Saturday night from the East, having just been discharged from the service. Not one of them denied the fact that he was glad that it was all over and that they were at home again. The boys look fine and give every indication they have been fed well.

SOLVING TWO PROBLEMS

Here's a suggestion concerning how to dispose of those surplus ships which some say should be sunk. Load them with American Bolsheviki, with off, cers chosen from among their own numbers, and start them overseas, with permission to exercise their "Let's-blow-up-the-ship" tendencies to their hearts content.

Finlandia no teme a los ''Rojos"

FL primer Ministro de Finlandia

asegura que la Rep1blica adquiere

tanto tempo, cuando gemia bajo el

En- la legislature actual de Finlan-
dia, esencialmente socialista, hay por
10 menos diez Y ocho comunistas. Ellos

liar al Parlamento, nj siquiera han

del partido socialista. Ell resto de los
diputados socialistas ha declarado sin
ambages que, en- case de una revolu
cion levantada por los "bolshevikis"
para implantar su gobierno en- Fin

declararan guerra a muerte contra ell
"sovietismo"
Ell presidente Stah.berg, hombre de
gran experiencia en- asuntos de ad-
ministracion, por haber desempenado
irportantes cargos en- el gobierno

dos los partidos, Berg, ministro de |:

QUlCklSlLvE Err.

Most quicksilver ores, according to
F. L. Ransome Of the United States
geological survey, are of rather simple
mineral composition. About rs mer-
curial minerals are known, but most
of these are rare and some of them
contain quicksilver only as a minor
constituent. Over IS per cent of the
quicksilver produced in the United
States comes from the bright cochin
eal-red sulphide of mercury, known in
its natural form as the mineral CHINA
bar. Pure cinnabar contains S6.2 per
cent Of quicksilver. Minor sources Of
quicksilver include metacinnabar,
which has the same composition as
cinnabar but is dark gray or black
and native quicksilver, which general.
ly occurs in little globules but in some
mines fills cavities of considerable
size. The cinnabar in quicksilver ores
is usually associated with pyrite or
marcasite and less generally with the
sulphide of anthony, stibnite. The
SohiiHoHCi OI
the ore are quartz. chalcedony, opal,
calcite mixed carbonates of calcium
and iron and barite. Many
quicksilver ores contain also small
quantities Of an oily or asphaltic n.y.
drocarbon, and some carry free sui
phur
No quicksilver ores that are mined
on large scale consist exclusively of
pure cinnabar. The richest that are
worked are those at AL
MAIDEN, Spain. where the average yield
n 1917 was slightly less than Z per
'ent. Probably the lowest tenor in
res that are successfully mined is
ound on the Pacific coast Of the Unit
ID States. The average yield Of the |
California ores during the last two
,ears was 0.3S per cent.
