MARYs COSTLY CLOTHES

Mary had little lamb.
Twas Persian ON her coat;
She also had q mink or two
About her dainty throat;
A bird Of Paradise, a tern,
And ermine made the hat
That perched at jaunty angle
On her couture largely rat;
Her tiny boots were sable topped,
Her gloves were muskrat too;
Her muff had heads and tails of
half
The CRITTERS" in the zoo.
And whom she walked abroad ]
ween
She feared no wintry wind;
At keeping warm twas plain to
see
She bad all nature skinned"

TONOPAA'S POSTAL BANK

Payday proved a bonanza for
the Postal Savings bank Of Tono-
pah, the deposits for yesterday and
up to noon today reaching the
figure Of $2063, which brings the
total deposits ince the first of the
month to $5O87. distributed be.
tween 76 depositors. The average
deposit is now $66.93.
From these figures, and estimat-
ing that the deposits this afternoon
will considerably augment the
above figures. It II easy to con-
ceive that Tonopah will have but
little trouble In understanding
those towns In which the Postal
Savings banks were opened on
March 1. Yesterday was the first
payday In Tonopab since the gov
eminent institution has been
opened and with the deposits
continuing at IKE ratio for few
months. the figures will soon r:se
above tbote Of other cities.
The clause In the regulations of
the Postal Savings bank which
permits Of deposit Of not more
than 500 In any one month has
been instrumental In holding the
figures down considerably. One
man yesterday rendered $1100 and
another $500 for deposit, but the
amounts could net be accepted. -

IRE PoTkfo PEST

We do not know whether ElLo
county ranchers are bothered with
the eel worm or not. but if they
are the following from Prof.
Hielscher Of Reno. published in
the Gazette. may assist them in
fighting the pest:
The potato. like any other
vegetable plant. has its own de-
structive enemy in the form of the
so-called eel worm, a microbe which
exists in the water and which
under favorable conditions
necessarily a wet season. will
mature and in a very short while
will reach such proportions that it
is plainly visible when placed
under a strong glass. In four
months time it will grow to its
full size and owing to it's peculiar
shape the German scientists have
given it the name of eel worm. 1t
will multiply itsef very rapidly
by the millions-under the wet
season conditions necessary for it's
maturity and will then cause what
is known as potato rot which is
the cause of much suffering and
destruction among the poorer
classes of E EUROPE.
The eel worm was discovered by
German scientists over a hundred
years ago and was found to exist
in cucumbers, beets, pumpkins.
turnips, alfalfa (known in Europe
as lucerne) and clover hut is not
very destru"tive-in short, this
worm has been discovered, in its
same form. in all parts of the
world.
The eel worm. when found in
fish is usually about an inch long
and lies in the gill;. but It has
never been known to menace the
health of the human being.
make this known for tn G
benefit of your readers, and to
eliminate the potato scare in Ne
vada,
| have noticed in the press that
our products are scrutinized and
even condemned, while the same
conditions exist most everywhere,
and as yet explanati ons and
re redy for checking the further
inroads Of this disease have not
been given.
The remedy is simple and cheap,
as follows: Take so per cent
powdered gypsum, 45 per cent
phosphate and 3 per cent lime,
mix we'll and use from SO to 100
pounds per acre.
This same mixture will also help
fertilize the land and will destroy
all other small insects as well.
The conditions can be improved
ny selecting new seed potatoes, and
by using different plots Of ground
from year 10 year in which TO raise
the potatoes"

well concealed. After an in

CASE OF j. II. KERN DISMISSED
ENTIRE COURT Is MOVED
TO TEARS.

The sudden ending OF the case OF
the state versus ]. H. Kern, charged
with horse stealing, and the faintlng
Of the wife of the prisoner In the
court room before the actual trial OF
the case had started, furnished the
two real sensations Of the day IN the
district court yesterday.
When the case was called yester-
day afternoon, Kern was brought in
to the court room by the sheriff and
there he greeted his wife and six
small children, all under the ages Of
l5 years. II was a pltiful sight and
the entire court room was moved al
most to tears.
The county attorney lost no time
In getting the case started and while
the jury was being selected. Mrs.
Kern, who was vis.bly affected by the
court scene. suddenly toppled over in
dead faint. She was carried from
the court room and revived in an
ante-room, and later came back and
sat by the side OF her husband.
The state introduced its evidence,
and only succeeded in making very
light case against the prisoner.
Whether the county attorney was
moved to pity or not is not known,
but the fact is that the weakness Of
the state was a surprise to the at
torneys for the defense. The defense
at once demurred to the evidence and
the court as promptly sustained the
demurrer and Kern walked from the
court room without the presence Of
an officer at his side for the first
time since last September, when he
was arrested He Immediately Joined
his family and they returned to sa-
pulpa, their home, last night, happy
but poor from money view, but rich
in the fact that they were once more
united.

ration, and the mother has been too
