Soldier Boys Sure of Big Feed; Many Liberal Donations Soldier boys at Fort Lincoln will not have to worry about. what they are going to eat July 4, as Co. A has an auxiliary composed of the most patriotic women of the capital «ity, who are arranging a big feed for them that day at the Masonic tem- ple. The place has been changed from the Presbyterian church chapel, in order to~better accommodate the large crowd which is expected at the fort at that time. Donations are coming in from Dick- inson, - Mandan’ and surrounding towns, which will help materially in the success of the movement. Capi- ' tal city people, as-usual, have. re- sponded liberally and nothing is be- ing left undone by the auxiliary. The menu will surpass anything yet serv- | ed the boys. It will be one event in their lives during their stay at Fort Lincoln which will be hard to forget, if all plans of the women work out. A musical program will also feature. Those desiring to donate articles of food or money should communi- cate with any member. of the auxili- ary. Mrs. Henry T. Murphy is anx- , fous that vegetables such as onions, ; Yadishes, etc., be sent to her. Jellies also will be acceptable. Bismarck Women Honored At Grand.Chapter Meet ‘Mrs, R,D.

Brewer of Chicago, one of the big men of the Salvation army and one who is in charge of the govern- ment war work for the. northwest, while in Bismarck during the week end paid.a visit to Fort Lincoln and gave a most interesting talk to. the officers and soldiers regarding the great work the Salvation army is, do- ing in connection with the world war in Europe. : The colonel, Capt: Murphy and the local Salvation army band were given a. hearty..welgome; by Major, Wright and his staff at the.fort.. During. the services conducted by Col. Brewer the soldiers were most attentive. Many interesting accounts were. giv- en by Col. Brewer of the work. done in Europe by the army. He sald: “To day there are 30,000 privates and 600 cominissioned officers of. the ’Sal- vation afmy fighting’ in’ the'trenches in France. Huts, as'they ate ‘called, are‘erected as near as' possible to the firing line and from them the soldiers are served food and provided with sta- tionery and other necessities. They have at present 36 ambulances costing $2,000 each, operating ip France and other fields of battle, and every bar- rack in England has been turned over to the government for relief purposes. Many conversions are reported by the Salvatigqnists fighting in the trenches. Religious services are conducted by them before each battle.” Col. Brewer stated that similar work would be done in America when it be- came necessary, as Genera! Booth had given instructions that the army would assist America as it is assisting Europe.

His whole figure seemed to move \n a nimbus of gloom, and Caleb felt &@ spasm of rheumatism. “Rheumatiz plaguin’ ye, Lysander?” he inquired. wEE Mr. Hyne shook-his head dolefully. “Wuss'n that,” he'replied. “It ain't aches and. pains that’s -botherin’ me. fm jest tryin’ to, do ‘ggmethin’ un- selfish, and it's hurtin” ‘me wuss’n haulin’ a tooth.” > Mr. Penslce’s look of concern gave way to a grin, and Mr, Hyne strove to smile with him, wrily. “I'd been lottin’ on gettin’ me a new hoxs hoe this spring,” the deacon ex- plained, “and I can spare jest ’bout ‘nough money to buy it with. And now I've got reason to believe my wife wants to go off with that passel of women to some hind of a e’nvention or other at Bangor, and that'll take Jest "bout the money I've saved for a hoss hoe. I've been tryin’ for two days now to give up to her cheer- fully, and I guess I’ve made out—I hope so, anyway.” ‘ Mr. Peaslee looked up with a curi- ous expression in his eye, “Did your wife tell you she wanted to go?” he demanded. f Mr. Hyne shook his head defectedly. “She ain't yipped a word ‘bout it to me so far,” he admitted. “But most all the women in the village plan to go, so I don’t see no comfort there.” Caleb scrutinized an ear of corn carefully, and his mouth turned up a little at the corners. “My wife ain't’ goin’—I heard her say so,” he ob- served at last. “*fore‘n that, I happen to know—” He broke off abruptly and his smile widened. “I guess I've gol a little story to tell you, if you want to listen to it,” he finished. Mr. Hyne gave a patient sigh. “I s'pose I've got to listen, if you're sol on tellin it,” he conceded glumly. “Well, I've got a reason for wantin’ you should listen,” asserted’ Caleb. “Years ago, when my wife and I was fust married, somethin’ come up jest ‘bout ‘like what you've been goin through for the Inst two days, and it teached me somethin’ that I ain't for. got. “This special junket was somethin that I wanted to go to jest as bad as she did, I felt pretty sure, but I never Jet on to her that I did. Instend of that I kep’ tellin’ her what a good time she'd have, and: picturin’ it all out. “Them days when we was jest startin’ in, money wa'n't very plenty. and we hoth knew that if one of us went, t’other one’d have to stay at home. So I didn’t give her much chance to plead with me to go in her place, but I packed her off and stayed at home and nussed my disapp'intment. So she went off alone, lookin’ pretty sober. ‘ “T ain't goin’ into p'ticulars of what my thoughts was that day. or her off havin’ a good time instead of me—J ain’t never felt any gre’t pride in ’em ever. I'll jest say that I pitied my- self c’nsid’able, and let it go at that. “Come night, she got back home, and I went out to help her out of the wagon—she’d rode back: with one of the nelghbors—and when she struck the ground I see right off that some- thin’ was wrong. She looked tired and sick ’nough to be put to bed and have the doctor—'s a matter of fact, she had to have him ’fore she got through with it. And I helped her into the house, and in less’n a-minute I found out what a fool I'd been! “Come to get at the rights of it, she hadn’t wanted to go at all, but I'd made such a touse over her goin’ that she thought my heart was set on it, and she'd swallered her wishes and gone.

Nowadays I know fust if there's anything to worry ‘bout, ‘fore I do any sacrificin’. “Comin’ back to what I started to say in the fust place,” Caleb went on placidly, “I happened to hear your wife and mine talkin’ ‘bout the conven- tion, and they both agreed that they couldn’t be dragged there by wild hosses. So I guess your two days’ ‘worry is as good as wasted, and you can buy your hoss hoe soon’s you've a mind to, fur’s that goes.” “Honest?” demanded Mr. brightening wonderfully.

The volcanic deposits on the east side of the Calico mountains, at the edge of the Mohave desert of Callfor- nia, include clays containing coleman- {te, a crystalline borate of lime, says Uncle Sam's geological survey. Cole- manite contains 50.9 per cent of boric acid, 27.2 per cent of lime, and 21.9 per cent of water. The deposits near the Calico mountains gre believed to have been formed by replacement of lmy beds that were laid down locally during the evaporation of lake waters, at intervals between some of the great outbursts of volcanic ejects which formed so large a part of the tertiary deposits. The boric acid waz undoubtedly derived from fresh vol canic materials and carried to its present position by underground wa- ters. The deposits are in two prin- cipal beds, each five feet thick and about fifty feet apart. These beds have been mined to a depth of 500 feet. All the borax produced in the 4 “pila.” of Los “Angles, and~Death™ Valley, The value of borate ores produced in 1915 was nearly $1,700,000.—United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. OUTPUT OF COPPER GROWS Value of Production In Michigan In 1916 Was 45 Per Cent Larger Than In 1915, The production of copper in Mich!- gan in 1916, as reported by the United Stafes geological survey, was 278,- 692,525 pounds, valued at $67,328,361, and ‘that of silver was ‘716,640 fine ‘ounces, valued at $471,549, a combined value of $67,799,910. This is an in- crease of $21,078,251, or 45 per cent, over the value of the output in 1915. The average price of copper per pound for 1916 was $0,246, compared with §0.175 in 1915. The average price of silver for 1916 was $0.658 per fine ounce; for 1915 it was $0.507. The average value per ton of “rock” treated was $5.34, compared with $3.76 in 1915. The smelter production, or the out- put of refined -copper, in 1916 was 269,794,531 pounds, which represents an increase of 30,838,121 pounds over the smelter production for 1915, Indian Arrow Heads. Mr. Cushing, an authority on mat: ters pertaining to Indians, tells how, when he was a boy, he learned: how the Indians made their arrow heads. He had unearthed a beautiful har poon of bone. He had a toothbrush with bim, and the bone handle of this he chopped off and ground down on a blece of sandstone, to make a harpoon of his own; but he could not grind such tlean-cut barbs as those of the relic. The boy then took his flint scales and chips and set to work with them. The flint cut the bone away but left the work rough. Then accidentally he made a discovery, for no sooner had he begun to rub the bone transversely on the flint than the bone cut the flint away. Not jaggedly, as his hammer- stene would have chipped it but in long, continuously narrow surface fur- tows wherever the edge was caught in the bone at a certain angle. He never finished that harpoon. He turned it about and used {t as an ar- tow cutter, by tying it to a little roé of wood with a shoestring. He had found out how the Indians made arrow heads. Tennis an Ancient Game. Tennis is as old as the hills, ba- sically speaking, though it has under- gone many changes for the better. It was played by the Greeks and Romans under the names of “sphairisis” and As “paume” it is mentioned in the Arthurian romances and in the earlier records of the dark ages. In the Fifteenth century it enjoyed great favor in France, and in England from the sixteenth century to the present time. A Bird Cage. If you have a bird, do let him live in a beautiful house.
