pITH PRODUCTS IN DEMAND
Article Of Commercial Importance 10
Now Being Exported From
Formosa.

A Japanese merchant of Taipeh
has forwarded to the United States,
through Commercial Agent Lovett
A. Wood, some stalks of pith, to-
gether with samples of paper, card,
braid and other articles made there
from by the savages of Formosa.
The pith is from shrub growing
less than two feet tall, and is as
light as a feather. 1t is gathered
by the savages and in a most mar
velous manner the lengths of about
ten inches are pared round with a
knife, producing sheets that are
smooth and uniform in thickness.
England is now importing quanti-
ties Of this pith paper to make arti-
fetal flowers for ladies' hats. The
oily nature of the pith when it is
shaved into paper facilitates the col
oring of the flowers.
The pith is also used for the tops
Of the helmets 80 much worn by
men in the tropics during the hot
months, when the suns rays are
dangerous, particularly to tourists,
and for the additional reason that
the pith hat can be made for very
much less than the cork helmet.

- There's a reason why nearly ev-

happily there is also a cure for
these ugly blemishes, and no one

will see that even the worst freck
les have begun to disappear, while

Years ago your friends and neighbors

They say time has completed the test.

when we used Doan's Kidney
Pills in our family in 1908 they
proved beneficial. / gladly con-
firm all that was said in their
praise at that time. A member OF
the family was in bad shape with
kidney trouble and suffered in
tSnsely from his back, when he

DAY SEASON
HAS PASSED

In spite OF the fact that water was
scarce this season and the dryest
year credited in the history of this
valley, the farmers all have good
crops, the town did not suffer from
want of water and the state has en-
joyed a full head of the needed fluid.
The predictions that the lawns and
shrubbery would dry up failed 10

water by the company and the limit
ing of hours to irrigation proved an
excellent plan The reservoirs all
have sufficient water from now on

as irrigation is over in the valley. 1t

PRISON

Skinner Escape Calls
Guards to Grill

The escape of convict Skinner
! from the State Prison last week re-
suited in the calling of an investi-
gatin of the affair, probably on &C
count of the State papers taking the
matter UP and asking how the es-
cape, under all circumstance was
accomplished" Secretary of State
Brodigan and Governor Oddie were
lin session to-day, while Warden
Cowing is busy hauling employees up
from the prison. They are being
questioned relative to the escape.
The investigation is behind closed
doors. While lot of vague stories
are out there will probably be no
publicity given the matter until af-
ter the entire affair is heard in pri-
vate, and in the meantime several of
the prison employees are on the anx-
ious seat and the public in general is
asking how did Skinner, a 5O-year
termer. managed the escape?" A
number of witnesses were examined
this morning and a complete hearing
will probably be the result.

NOMINEE
QUALIFIED
Key Pittman and His
Life Work

Out in Golden Gate park in San
francisco where the old band stand
! formerly stood, there is monu-
ment erected to the author of the
National song, The Star Spangled
Banner and thousands of persons
have viewed the piece of statuary
which represents Francis Scot,
Key. In the days when the show
park of San Francisco was smaller
than it is now, and the center OF at
traction was the old band stand, it
was resolved to place the monument
to Francis Scott Key in the most
prominent location possible, and SO
the spot near the music center was
selected and with due honor and ap-
propriate exercises the unveiling
took place. Then as the park in
creased in popularity, the childrens'
Fairgrounds was placed to the south
of the statuary, and as the city grew
and the requirements of the people
became gerater, it was necessary to
find new and larger location for
the band stand. but the Francis
Scott Key monument remained a
center of attraction nevertheless and
today it stands almost in the center
OF the great public recreation park,
admired and respected for the author
whose heart pangs for the nations
flag crystalized into public express
sion.
Today in Nevada there is a de-
scendant of the immortal Marylander
seeking the honor of serving the
people of this state as United States
senator-Hon. Key Pittman of Tono-
pah, Mr. Pittman has behind him a
tine old line of southern ancestry,
Francis Scott Key. whom grateful
nation honors and respects as the
author Of the Star Spangled Banner
having been his great uncle. And
like his illustriOus ancestor, Key
Pittman is the soul of honor. He
has fought life's battle successfully,
honOrably and fearlessly and has al
ways stood upon the side of justice
and for the people. Today he is
seeking the greatest honor which
his state can confer upon one of
is citizens, that of United States
senator His qualifications, his train
ng, his patriotism and his ability
md enthusiasm are strong factors
which should be considered in this
