Second Largest Copper Deposits

Stockholm.-The largest deposits OF
sulphur ore and copper ore ever dis
covered in Sweden, and the second
largest copper deposits in Europe,
are the subject of an exhaustive re-
port just published by Axel Gavelin,
chief of the Swedish governments

new wealth Of ore, the presence OF
which was detected recently by the
use of electrical instruments, lies in
latitude 65 north, near KusfOrs sta

elm show that the copper ore contains
as high as 10 per cent of copper, the
average run being estimated at 4 per
cent, while the sulphur content of the
sulphur ore is as high as Az per
cent. 1t is estimated that this new
mining field will yield annually 1900
tons of copper and 100000 tons of sui

regarded as of economic significance

BURIED ANOTHER

Mother Buries Body of Man
Killed in Railroad Accident
as That of Her Boy.
IT'S STRANGE, WEIRD STORY
After Five Years in Prison Son Writes
to His Mother Under Assumed

Her Son.

Birmingham, Ala. = Buried In the
little family lot Of cemetery near
Gadsden, Ala, and grieved as dead by
sOrrowing mother for FIVE years,
Clarence Peters turned up alive in the
state prison. It's q strange story,
weird in detail, but altogether true.
In 1917 Peters, alias Jim Holloway,
vas arrested in Morgan county as a
member of gang of thieves operat-
ing in Decatur. Two comrades were
captured, while five others escaped.
Peters refused to squeal on his pals
and took a fifteen-year sentence, while
the others went free. Peters, still
known only by the name of Holloway,
began his prison sentence while I'M
der twenty. In 1913 he escaped from
the state prison and stayed at his
mothers home In Gadsden several
weeks before leaving for the West.
His mother and brothers never knew
he was going under the name of Hol.
loway.
Never Knew of Return.
short while after he escaped from
prison he was captured in q western
state and sent to Alabama, where
prison bars awaited him, but his rela-
tives at Gadsden never knew of his
return. In the latter part of 1919 a
message was received from small
town in Iowa by Mrs. Peters, CIar-
ence's mother, that young man an
swering her sons description had
been killed in a railroad wreck, and
that letters taken from his pockets
bore the name of Clarence Peters,
fsadsden, Ala"
The body was sent to Mrs. Peters
and grieved over by the mother and
sons. The head and face were SO
badly mutilated that close identified
tion was impossible, though the size
of the body and color of the hair
filed the description of Clarence A
tombstone purchased by the family
was placed at the head of the grave,
but Clarence, ignorant of the crue,
joke, served on in the penitentiary.
He refused to convey news of his re-
capture to his mother, and the Incl |
dent was forgotten in Gadsden
Wrote His Mother.
In 1922 Peters could no longer re-
frain from writing home, and under
the name of Jim Holloway wrote his
mother inquiring of her sons where

young Peters.
His mother, a deeply religious WON

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE EARNS
WAY BY SERVICE
When the matter of a public health
nurse for Latah county was up for
consideration some Is months ago
The Star-Mirror was strongly in fav-
or of the move. 1t seemed impracti-
cal, however, at that time, for the
county commissioners to dip deeper
into the public treasury, owing to the
financial conditions and the heavy
burden of taxation. The movement
now on foot to place nurse in the
field for a year at the expense of the
seems to offer a solution of the ques-
ton, and with scores of people
mostly school children, needing the
attention of health expert, the pro.
gram should be encouraged by al
means The work of the nurse may
mean that more than one child will
have bodily defects corrected which
If not given attention, would make the
child burden on society.
In connection with the movement il
this county, The Sunday Spokesman
Review has the following to say edi
torially of the work of the publ,
health nurse:
Citizens of Moscow and Latal
county are considering employment
ton of the Red Cross. The plan is
to provide funds for one year and if
results are beneficial to continue the
work Most populous counties in this
state and Idaho no longer consider
the work of such nurse as an expert
ment, but look upon her as a valuable
asset.
1.-THE Red Cross has brought about
this situation through it's care in Sc
lecting nurses for public health work
and by insisting on special training.
The nurse must be fully experienced
in the ailments of children and be
able to deal intelligently with home
conditions arising through ignorance
Or carelessness in adults. She is at
once the good angel in situations of
distress and the stern hand of regula-
ion when preventive measures must |
30 applied.
=" AS a people we progress through |
lifting each generation the better to |
leal with life. The basis of mental |
stamina is health. BY timely COM
,at with incipient disease the public
lurse frequently saves whole counties
rom distress. Through examination
# each child she is qualified to re-
ommend to parents way out of dis
ster, or a means of heading off all
lents which might otherwise prove
ifetime disadvantage.

After the Palouse harvest is taken
care of, even though the farmer
doesn't get anything near an adequate
price for his products, the usual crop
of stock statesmen and promoters of
various kinds will appear on the
scene, and it is needless to say that
they will do some business. AS matter
of fact the chance to sell question
able, or worthless stock is probably
better under present conditions than
it would be if the price of farm pro-
ducts were higher. The farmer who
happens to have the gambling in
stinct will be dissatisfied with his re-
turns and will welcome something
which promises to increase his in
come. However, the man who buys
worthless stocks can scarcely blame
anyone but himself, and need have
little hope of making trouble for the
fellow who loads him up with the
worthless securities. Published
easy to call on your banker for adj
vice. In almost every instance, too,
he will give good advice, on the mat
ter of investments. He is usually a
specialist in his line and knows much
more about the value of stocks than
the average farmer or merchant. Just
talk it over with him before invest
ing and the chances are you will be
better off financially, besides not hav-
ing to worry over hard earned dollars
gone for naught.
- "a -
The New York Journal of Commerce
in a recent editorial states that -" our
farmers would do well to get war con-
of that period out of their minds once |
and for all There has never been |
any reason to suppose that we should
be able to find profitable markets for
the volume of foodstuffs that we got
into the habit of producing during the
war. AS time passes it has become
clearer and clearer that such is in
deed the case. The simple truth is
that too much capital and labor are
being devoted to the production of
wheat and probably one or two other
agricultural commodities in this
and the obvious solution is
for some of that energy to be shifted
to other fields of endeavor."
- ~ ~
1t will be remembered that about
1916, punitive expedition into Mexico
Intended to "get Francisco Villa dead
Or alive" The getting wasn't very
good at that time, but we read some
where the other day that it might be
worth while to take the matter up
again, owing to the fact that condi-
ions, so far as Villa is concerned
AVE changed materially.
