George D. Bercu of the Chicago Hide, Fur & Wool house of Douglas has been in the city, completing plans for the carrying out of the prograth, which includes the purchasing of all old rags, rubber, copper, brass, lead, scrap iron, old rope, old gunny sacks, old tires, and anything else in the line of junk. These will be accumu- lated at the Casper Storage Co.’s warehouse and will be paid for in War Savings stamps immediately when the goods are received. War Savings stamps are as good as cash, are convertable into what we call money, and are considered by bankers the best form of investment on the market (which is the reason why only $1,000 worth of stamps are allowed to each purchaser). In the plan to help stamp our Prussianism, the children are to be @ great aid for many of them are gathering up the scraps and junk of all kinds for which War Savings stamps will be given in exchange, and junk is now bringing the highest prices ever known to be offered.

The Indiana has also startled the natives by suddenly taking over the holdings of the Slinkard Oil Co., about a mile out of Shoshoni, and the deal was made with a Clause in the contract that the Indiana isto start drilling within 90 days. The Slinkard holdings are well known as a shallow oil proposition, and the oil from the test hole drilled last year tested out a good gravity and a high paraffine content. The Slinkard holdings near Sho- shoni amount to about 3,000 acres, and the work of operating will cost but very little, as both fuel and water are handy. The Slinkard well was drilled to a depth of 263 feet. MINNESOTA OIL MAN ON VISIT TO STATE H. H. Erickson of Minneapolis, president of the Minnesota Western Oil Co., is visiting Wyoming fields on an inspection tour of the holdings of the firm. He spent a few days in Casper before going to Douglas to take in the Cheyenne River field, north of Douglas, where the Minne- sota Western is holding acreage.

The Washington communication says that rejections by camp com- manders average 34 per cent, and that some of the men are so mani- festly unfit for service that their shortcomings could be judged by a layman. While it has been pointed out here-| |tofore that this condition resulted largely from the fact that physical manuals furnished examining boards in various cities and towns thruovt| the country did not conform to those upon which physical examinations were based at the camps, State Mar-| shal Olds, immediately upon receipt of the message, sent notices to the} various boards of Wyoming for lists of all rejections. | Up to the present time, the State of Wyoming has. furnished the Gov- ernment with 5,396 men, exclusive of Laramie and Hot Springs Counties. | The local rejections of the boards| guest of M.
