FIXING SIZE OF THE ARMY
ENLISTED STRENGTH TO BE
ABOUT $1,000 MEN.
Discussing Recommended Changes in
the Equipment of the Soldier.
May Provide Slippers.

The enlisted strength of the army dur
ing the present fiscal year has been fixed
at approximately $1,000 men under the ar
rangement of the estimates by Maj Gen.
Leonard Wood, chief Of staff, and APPROX
ed by President Taft. That will allow
an additional strength of eight enlisted
men to each company of the regiments
of infantry in the Philippines
Gen. Woods plan is to use the army ap-
preparations for soldiers and materials
and make reductions in other directions.
The new chief of staff wants an army of
fighting men equipped for business and is
willing TO make sacrifices in other ways
to obtain it.
Uniforming Uncle Sans fighting men
is again a question of discussion between
the quartermaSter generals department
and the infantry committee of the gener-
al staff, which has made some recommen-
dations for important changes in the SOL

Injury To Wheat'By Freezing.

Reports from several localities in
the State indicate that winter wheat,
other winter grain, alfalfa and other
crops are being injured by the freez
ing and heaving Of III. soil. This
heaving results from the alternate
freezing and thawing Of very wet
ground. Certain types Of soil which
contain considerable clly and hold
water are more subject to heaving
Often the wh)le flrroR S ice is lite l,
doubtless due to the fact that the
water tends to Accumulate at the bot

line may be nearer The surface. The
lifting of the soil by freezing bre ks

There seems to be the usual d.
versity of opinion this year regarding
the damage done 10 the wheat by the
unusually severe weather Of the past
few months. Some OF The farmers
are of the opinion that the crop gen.
orally is more or less injured, while
there are others who say that the
damage will be very light. In most
cases where the greatest damage is
reported, however, the cause is most
generally laid to one thing, and that
is, late blowing and sowing.
On account Of the very dry wealth.
er after harvest last year, there were
a large number Of farmers who did
not commence blowing until it was
almost time when they should have
had their wheat sowed, and of course
the ground did not have time to get
thoroughly settled before the hard
freeze began. On ground which was
Plowed early in the season, very little
damage has been reported so far.
But we sti hilk that the crop as a
whole is not nearly as badly Damaged
as has been reported by some, for
the Kansas wheat crop has the
proverbial nine lives of the cat beaten
by at least a mile. .t

MIGHTY EXPENSIVE PAIR
COLD PEDAL EXTREMlTIES

Did you ever have cold feet?
Did those same Trilbys ever cost You
$50 10000
Well it's different with Nick Parrish,
one OF the old-timcrs of Nevada, who
was in Eerington couple OF weeks ago.
Nick acknowledges that he had cold
feet ouce-real cold fect-and he says
they were the direct cause Of him miss
ing u fortune. which he estimates at no
less than $40. 600. .000
This is how ii happened.
In the days befor. Goldheld was on
the worlds map Nick Parrish started
trips. He eventually landed i'm the
country which was then called Grand
pah. and campcd about 300 feet from
Rabbit springs. For several months he
prospcctcd and located the claims which
arc now known as the Mohawk. Combi-
nation and the Jumbo. and which arc
producing about $5.000oOO annual divi-
dends for the stockholders of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company. He
also had the claims which arc now pro-
duciug sood dividends for the stockhold-
ers. OF tho. Florence Goldhcld company
under his location stakes.
Nick said he always had tho utmost
confidence in the district and was sure
nc could develop some big mines from
municate his enthusiasm 10 John Chiato-
vich and others. and 10 secure their sid
in opening up the properties. The time
came in Goldheld when money flowed
not in those days. and Parrish was
unable TO interest any one who was over
burdeued with money.
Nick struggled along as best he could
until the latter part Of November. when.
one cold night. he froze his feet so bad
ly that he was almost helpless. Tonopah.
twenty-six miles To the north. was the
nearest place that he could receive med
ical attention. and as he was unable to
make his way there alone. II began 10
look as if he were up against the real
thing.
Fortuna tely. an Indian named Long
Hair John. and Niger Johnson came
from Silver Peak and stopped 70 water
their horses at Rabbit springs. They
found Nick and took him TO a hospital
in Tonopah. where he received the med
ical care he was so urgently in need OF,
1t was eight and one-half months be-
fore Nick Parrish was able 10 leave the
hospital and in the meantime the fame
oG Gold6eld grow by leaps and bounds.
The time for doing the location work on
Nicks claims ran out and they were re-
located by Myers. Murphy and others.
When he next arrived In GoIdficld-and
il was named Goldncld this time-he
had about as much chance OF locating a
claim on what is known as the inside"
as he would have Of having his feet
frozen in Hades.-Yeringto Times.

The reorganization committee Of the
