GRANTS PASS
TOOK NO CHANCE ON "HANTS"
Thst Batch of Troopers Didn't Intend
to Be Caught With the "Goods"
en Them,
There was a colored labor outfit In
the 8. O. H. sngngeil In quarry work
near a base port . A few weeks ago,
In the course of opening up some new
ground, they discovered an old Itomno
burying ground with many skeletons,
coins and relies. The find made quite
an liiipresHton on the minds of the find
ers, and there were many speculations
as to whether the similes of the de
parted leKlonurles still hovered oronnd
In the vicinity of their Inst resting
place. The general opinion was Hint
a iimn ought to be on his guard when
out late at night.
About Hint time the sum of CO franca
disappeared from the counter of a
nearby T. M. O. A. hut. The cuptnln
of this utiint doesn't know a great dml
about classroom psychology, but lie
has learned a lot about It In the Held,
lie culled bis outfit together oue night
In the-V hut and told them of the dis
appearance of the money. Then he
outlined tne history nnd characteris
tics of the old Romans. y
"itnyu,-' ne saw, "there was one
thing a Roman hated worse than nny
thing else, and that wns a thief. If
the ghosts of those old-fellows who
were buried up. there on the hill should
leora that, somebody In this outfit hsd
00 francs In his pbeket, 1 dou't know
JtiNt'wbat would happen. I'm going to
put my hat here n the table snd turn
out the lights. The guilty man will
know what to do."
There waa quite a shuffling of feet
and milling around In the hut. and
then all was quiet. When the captalo
turned on the lights again snd looked
lb the hat he found not only the 00
francs, bat 300 more, and a few odd
centimes for good measure. Stars and
Btripea.

Passing of Emma.
Emma ta dead. She died, not per

btTshe.surely, died to make on, Ameri

been petted and dined, for It was de
signed that she put on weight, much
as the female of, the species objects to
embonpoint. Emma was, in her tender
youth, removed from bnse hospital 18
to base 82. And that it just where In
terest for all the folks at home who
have boys at base 82 starts, for surely
no member of the hospital so far for
got his surroundings as not to mention
Emma In his letters. So Emma grew
and grew. Recently the end came, it
waa announced U a. letter home thus
laconically and graphically; "We ate

the hospital attaches, and while It may
be disloyal to say so. the diners sny

But weep not, you outsiders who read
this, for Emma was only a wild hog.

WORLD'S GREAT NEED OF TIN
War. Has Dimin'shed Supply of Indis
pensable, Metal, and So Immense
ly Increased Its Cost.
Probably no market has been more
vitally affected by the war and less
subject to control than the tin mar
ket. It Is not really sn American In
dustry, for an insignificant amount of
tin I produced In the United States
as compared wltb the total consumed.
This country Is almost absolutely de
pendent on foreign sources for Its sup
plies. Rut the metal Is s vital neces
sity afall times and In many direc
tions. It Is particularly a war metal
In that .Its use la essential in produc
ing tlnplate for food and other con
tainers and for bearings for machin
ery,
In no other metul has such com
plle cnnol) dev0Opod M tm as a
result of, war conditions. It Is the
only metal which Is exempt from price
fixing by. our own gc.vernmcnt, be
cause about 00 per cent of our con
sumption comes from foreign coun
tries, where Its production and sale
are controlled by foreign Interests.
Only its distribution here' bus been
regulated as a war measure.
One of the largest Importers has re
cently said that It would probably be
a long time before 60-cent tin would
again be. seen. Before the war the.
metal was selling at a little over 8Q
cents a pound In New York. It has
advanced by leaps and bounds until
.mopth.ago the New York price wa
nominal at over $1 a pound, with the
ty1 shipments from the east up to
ua cents ootn unheard or Delghts,
This has been caused by the fact that;
tne world output or tin baa not been
