THE FESTIVE SAUSAGE

These are the days for sausage.
There is no use for person to stick
up his nose at sausage. for sausage
is good when it is made right.
1t is the response of the food world
to the polar breeze that blows
through the morning. 1t is as
sweet az plate of Strawberries on
a mild June day. But it must
he made right. Good sausage is
an art product. 1t is made up of
judgement, taste and skill. 1t is
a combination of ingredients that
correlate with one another as the
fragrance and the blush of the
rose. The butcher doesn't under.
stand this. Generally he throws
in some scraps and odds and ends,
and especially the odds, dabs of
some salt, pepper and sage, grinds
it out, and the confiding customer
buys it because it is sausage, says
the Ohio State Journal. He doesn't
like it very well, but he eats it, and
everything goes. The other day
we saw a customer in a meat shop
direct the making of his own
sausage. He selected the meat,
simon-pure cuts off the best parts,
had it ground and took it home
to season it there. That man
knows how to take care of himself.
He knows art from a bulls foot.
He appreciates the true sentiment
of sausage.

years. accidentally shot and quite
seriously wounded little Melvin

about shooting pigeons. Little
Willie Nelson playfully picked VI
a 22-caliber rifle that was standing
in the pantry and in showing the
other children how he would do
the weapon was discharged wi tn
the above result.

TREMENDOUS INCREASE
IN BULLION OUTPUT

The mineral production of last
year is one of which the state may
we'll feel proud. amounting in
round figures to little more than
$40, 0O0,O0O with dividend
record of more than $4,000. 600.
Five years ago the total output
was onlv little above S.. 600. orO,
which shows the wonderful record
the state is making. No state or
territory in the union, rot even
Arizona. has ever. before shown
such a remarkable increase in
mineral wealth.
Following is the estimated pro-
ducsion of the state by counties:
Esmeralda, Sl3,311.OOO; Nye &c.
$685. 900; White Pine $4,000, OcO :;
Eureka. 100000; Humbold, ST.

$4,000: Douglas. $4,000. Total
$4O,521, 900. ,.
Following is the amount of
dividends paid, exclusive of the
million dollars declared, but not

solidated Mines company. 1929
1876; ;Tonopah Mining company
$500. 900; Tonopah Belmont,

1t is a grand, glorious record,
and yet it is but the beginning.
Within another five years the state
will lead all others in mineral
production. while her agricultural
resources are also developing in
ratio with that of her mineral
output. Nevada is all right, you
