Darning Cotton Case

A CONVENIENT case for two
~ spools Of darning cotton-a black
4 n and a Whites made OF two sim
liar silk-covered pasteboards. They are
oval in shape and so planned as to
length that they will fully cover the
two balls OF cotton.
They are covered with figured silk and
faced with plain silk. the two qualities
being overcast together along their
edges.
Within these two covered oblongs
there are placed the two spools.
Through their openings there are passed
ribbons. which are then threaded
through holes punched in the card
boards.
These will hold the spools OF cotton
firmly in place after the ends Of the
ured silk and finished with rosettes on
the Outsides Of the oblongs.

RENO New, Feb. 10.-As a result OF
the repeated alarmips and startling re-
ports of enormous losses among sheep
throughout Nevada. consequent upon the
recent extreme cold and frost snow and
lack OF feed among stockmen in certain
sections OF this state, your representative
conferred today with four of the most
prominent sheepmen In Nevada, for the
purpose of securing an absolutely reliable
insight into the actual conditions existing
today and the extent OF losses and real
causes of those losses.
The leading sheepmen OF Nevada are:

about 40.000 head. George Watt. $50 miles
south Of Austin, about 10000 ewes and
1000 lambs.
1t Is found that the situation. briefly
expressed, Is this That while the reports
Of losses have been exaggerated. Nevada
has lost in the neighborhood of 26,0QC

heaviest losses have been In northern

was about the same-has not been thc
