Restitution,

By its own confession in court it ap-
pears that the Sugar Trust has de-
frauded the Government of 50, 1876, 1856.
The money stolen has been returned.
This was no technical swindle. 1t did
not depend upon a disputed interpre-
tation Of the law. 1t was accomplish
ed with as much deliberation as is
shown in the operations of forger ur
a confidence man.
There was wholesale cheating in the
weight of imported sugar. The less
the weight the smaller the tax to be
paid. The less the tax the more money
for salaries and dividends on which to
support luxury and display The
greater the luxury and display the
wider the class distinctions in coun-
try where no classes should be.
To facilitate the fraud, scales were
tempered with and Government agents
were bribed. The theft went on for
y ears, Systematically and succe ssfuI-
~. Men high up as well as men low
down in the Sugar Trust must have
k lown about it. Millions are not ap-
p opriated in this fashion unwiftirg-
ly. Design appears at every stage OF
the proceedings. Design is admitted
by re stitution.
Is there person connected with the
sugar monopoly who will marvel here
after when ne comes to consider some
strikingly violent popular attack upon
a trust?

you will find those who framed the law
wish to relieve it of these objection
able features. 1t is necessary some
times to set the machinery of untried
law in motion to find where the fric-
ton lies. 1t has been found and that
friction will be removed. Give it a
fair trial. Vote literally for your dis
trict school.
"We make this prediction-that one
years experience with a nine or ten
month S school in every district in the
country would result in their being per
manently so. Look upon a school tax
as an investment in morals, in intelli-
gence, in personal influence and in

when trained boys and girls get the
best out of life in It's various activi-
ties, get the best wages, get the most

one thing of telling people how to en-
ploy their spare hours in reading dis
criminately it would be worth more

Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great q change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brillance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matrOn is only Q dim shadow, o faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for "his change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage ard
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain isrobbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.

MAY RAISE DATES
ON NEVADA DESERT

The prospect that within the next
five years millions of pounds of Ara
bian and African dates may be mar
keted from Nevada soil is a somewhat
romantic one, but nevertheless it is so
near the bounds of possibility that the
United States government is expert
menting within 100 miles south of the
southern end of the state with that
end in view.
When DIR. Bigelow, of the climatolo-
gical division of the weather bureau
was here, h etold of the work being
donee by government experimentalists
at Indio, a station on the Southern Pa
eifc, a few miles north of the Salton
sea in the intensely arid region.
The department of agriculture this
year put out 1000 slips or cuttings Of
the Arabian and African date plant,
and within a few years it is expected
that millions of pounds of dates will
be grown.
The climate is much similar to that
of Arabia or Africa and the soil is
said to be particularly adapted for
raising the food of the desert

nwELJOCRAPHS WILL
Be TESTED
Especial to Silver state News)

WASHINGTON, July 2t.-Experi
ment will be made during the summer
with the standard photographs which
are now used in the wal department,
for signaling on the national forests.
One of these experiments will be on
the Kanikou national forest, in Idaho,
and the other on the Stanislaus forest
in California.
1t is intended to discover whether
these instruments will be of use on ma.
tional forests to report fires or trans
NIT other messages in areas where there
is no quick method of communication.
The conditions of climate and lati-
tude, as well as the species of in
fiamable trees in the two forests are
sufficiently different to determine
whether the instrument is suited to
some localities and not to others.
Easy and quick communication to all
parts of a forest must be had if fire is
to be kept down. Anyone who knows
of the fearful damage wrought by
forest fires on private and unprotected
lands each year, will easily see that
through fire patrol, use of telephone
lies and other means of communica-
ton such as is maintained on the 1875
million acres contained in the national
forests, the losses can be reduced to a
minimum.
For the administration and protec-
tion of the las national forests in nine
teen states and territories and Alaska,
the government spent 50, 526, 099. 02, or
about one and one-half cents an acre
for the calendar year 1908. Of this
amount $500, 1919 was spent for
permanent improvements, including the
construction Of 3,400 miles of trails,
100 miles of wagon roads, 1920 miles
of telephone lines and forty miles o.
fire lines.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS
MEMBERSHIP INCREASING
(Specia, to Silver State News.)

A0RSNA1A y oAANO@ otat0
BILLINGS, Mont. July 24.-Ten
thousand members before the fourth
Dry Farming congress meets in Bill
ings, Montana, next October 1928.
This is the goal toward which the
officers of the congress are striving,
with indications that they will more
than realize their ambition. The men,
bership of the congress now is over
1000 and farmers are joining at the
rate of about ten a day, exclusive of
those secured through state campaigns
by officers of the congress.
The new members are coming into
the congress from practically every
state in the union. the bulk. of course,
being from the western states. For
example, in one day within the last
week two were received from Wiscon-
Michigan and California.
In the membership campaign. the
members of the national executive
committee of the e are taking
an active part. Prof. Alfred Atkinson
representing Montana, has started out
to secure 1000 members in this state
gratifying success. James Paxman of
Nephi, Utah. executive committeeman
for that state, has announced his in
tention of securing 1000 members in
his commonwealth. Evidence of his
activity is seen in the newspapers of
Utah in which every week are pub
lished accounts of what Mr.. Paxman
is doing to spread the dry farming
propaganda. Among the other execu-
tive committeeman, DR.. G.. r. Hickok
of Syracuse. Kansas. G. A. Martin,
news editor of the Ell Paso, Texas.
Herald. c.. r. Root of Denver, Colo
RADIO, and State Engineer Samuel H.
Lea of Pierre, South Dakota, have or
ganized energetic campaigns in their
respective jurisdictions and the re-
suits are seen in the memberships be
ing received at the headquarters of the
congress.
The growth of the congress is not
confined to the United States. George
Harcourt, deputy minister of agrieul-
ture of the province of Alberta. Can
ada. and vice president and cores
ponding secretary of the Dry Farming
congress for Alberta, is bringing the
farmers of that portion of Canada into
the ranks of the congress in consider
able numbers and other foreign of
ficers of this organization are working
to the same end with excellent results

HALEY ALLEGES HIS
LIFE Is THREATENED

In a letter to the district attorney
of Esmeralda, Bullion Tax Collector
J. f. HALEY, in referring to the Pitts
burg-Silver ePak Gold Mining COM
pany, state that threats have been
made against the lives of some of the
officials connected with the prosecutions
and requests that every protection be
afforded those against whom the threats
have been made. He deals at some
length with the indictments and the
civil suits growing out of the tax mat
tiers, and continuing, says: because
of what t%ranspired since that time
evidently meaning the time when the
civil suits were fled and the indiet-
ment of the officials of the Pittsburg-
Silver Peak company, 81 deem it adj
visable to call your attention to the
fact that at least certain of the en-
ployes of the company are making ev-
cry effort to thwart both state and
county officers in their efforts to have
these alleged criminals prosecuted. One
employee of the company has made
threats against the lives of some of the
officers connected with the prosecution
of these criminals. "-Tonopah Sun.
