SMALL POTOTOEs

- An article in an agricultural
journal says that in New York
they find that spraying potatoes
gives a greatly increased. yield
as much as SO bushels being raised
osthe acre by this method. At Go
pounds to the bushel this means
that the yield is a trifle over two
tons 60 the acre. And this Is con.
sidered an average yield. What
would those fasteners think if
they saw some of our Mason
Valley potato patches-of 40 to
zoo acres on which the yield is
never less than eight tons to the
acre. and from that up to fifteen
tons Of good marke table spuds
after the small big potatoes have
been sorted out? If New York.
ers are laundering to go into the
potato-raising business they should
com to Mason Valley and secure
some of the superior potato land,
where the spud really amounts to
something. This land can be pur-
chased now at reasonable prizes.
In a few years it will be out of
reach of the man without con.

BUNC0EU RENO BlnEECs

.
A Reno dipatcb Of the 9th says
that, it is reported in banking
circles that the Washoe County
Bark is lamentinR the loss Of $45,
900 which was gotten from them
under false pretenses by q basque
sheepman. This sheepman was at
one time the owner Of large flocks
of sheep but in due time got rid Of
them at good price to various
buyers. He still, however posed
as sheepman doing 3 large busi-
ness and kept in the good graces of
the bank He would come to Reno
and talk wool and sheep in COM
mercial centers nd then would go
onto the bank and make borrow
on the strength of his good name
to buy sheep. supplies or to buy
more sheep. He would go to the
coast with the money and pay
"a debt to Sara the big wool and
sheep manipulation of the coast.
"A short time afterward he would
raise money from Sara and return
to Reno, making a deposit of a
portion of the sum in the Washoe
County Bank to cover the amount
he had borrowed. He even went
so far as to buy wool sacks and
supplies and have them shipped to
Winnemucca claiming they would
be received there by his camp
bosses. ..... .. !;
After having disarmed all sus--
picion and getting in the best
standing with the bank, he went
there to raise a large sum of
money about fifty tho usand
dollars. He was ready to give his
fiocks and supplies as security and
had a NOR tgage drawn up in favor
of the bank covering the number
of sacks Of wool thousands Of
heads of sheep, mules horses and
camp outfits. The bank willingly
took the paper and advanced the
money since which time the Basque
sheepmau has not been seen or
heard of and the bank is holding
sheet of paper which is worthless as
they never have been able to find
any sheep. wool camps or herders.

BYRON FOND OF CHILDREN
Frances Lady Shelley Describes the
Famous English Poet az
She Saw Him.

Frances Lady Shelley, who knew
most of the celebrated people be-
tween the dates 1887 and 1877 gives
description of Lord Byron as she
first saw him in 1913:
From Althorp we went to Colonel
Leigh's, near Newmarket, for the
shooting. We stayed there a few
days. The house Is far too small even
for the company 1t contained. Lord
Byron was there. Mrs. Leigh told mo
that he spent most of the night writ
Ing a poem which is to be called "The
Corsair." AB he did not leave his
room until after midday our inter-
course was restricted.
He is decidedly handsome and
can be very agreeable. He seems 70
be easily put out by trifies and at
times looks terribly savage. He was
very patient with Mrs. Leigh's chill
dren, who are not in the least In awe
of him. He bore their distractinR in
truston into his room with imperturb.
able good humor. Mrs. Leigh has
evidently great moral influence over
her brother, who listens with a sort
OF playful acquiescence. But doubt
the permanence Of their effect upon
his hayward nature"

istence? The claim is made for
that of, thel holy. sepuicher. It
appears that no date or the name
Of founder can be assigned to the
Order OF the Holy. Sepulcher,

ton that traces it's origin to. the
time Of Charlemange. In the
middle Of the last century how
ever, when the Latin patriarchate
Of Jerusaleum was re.established,
the office of grand master Of the
order was transferred to it by
Pope Plus TX, who many years
later, in 1868, created by statute
three ranks of the. order the

knight. The costume is white

MAKING SOMETHING Of LIFE
Zeal Joy Comes From Creating.
Though the Object May Not BE
-. Of Great Significance.

While every man who makes a liv-
Ing is not a genius, yet the real Joy of
cleating can belong to each of US In
Just as real and true way. If we
put into farming, or banking, or our
school work, the sense Of making
something, we get the great pleasure
out of it.. When we fill any task with
ourselves, we make something. A girl
says, II made the room tidy" which
simply means she put something of
herself into the disorderly room. and
80 beautifed it. After she had made
1t tidy, 1t reflected something of her,
self; 1t looked some idea of order such
as she. had in her own mind. A boy
says, 81 made good recitation in
school yesterday" and hu is ss:hl for
although the lesson was already there,
1t had to wait. for him to come along
and make It a recitation .
So 1t Is everywhere Making n.y.
thing means. no matter how 81 irle

that did not exist before; end hat
that something Is to some dc 5-er ike
the maker of 1t. We get out WIN we
put In. If anyone wants to be nIiser.
able, the surest way is Just to do
things without putting his whole heart
and self into them. Think more OF the
mere outside Of the tasks, and they
are not worth doing. But once put
yourself into them and all is changed

FOUND IN CID CORNERSTONE
Odd Things That Show the Progress
That Has Been Made in Seventy
Five Years.

An interesting service took place a
few days ago at Portsmouth, N. H., in
connection with the opening of the re-
ceptacle that was in the cornerstone
of the old church, which was sold,
when 1t was voted to build a new edi.
fee uptown. 1t was picture of three
quarters of century ago that was
brought before the minds of the peo-
pie as they took out the articles one
by one.
. Among them was a copy of lions
Herald dated October 25,>1S26. There
was quantity of British and Ameri-
can coins of that date and earlier, as
we'll as some from other countries. A
history of the church. records of
PROMINENT families connected with the
society and a sketch of Portsmouth
and its shipping we're found. One of
the oldest things taken out was a pa
per containing directions for making
and taking emetic."
At first such q document strikes one
as humorous, but there is in it force
full commentary on the wonderful
changes that have taken place in
tnree-quarters OF a century. When II
is realized that medical knowledge
was in such state at that time that
directions of this kind we're consid-
cred of sufficient Importance to be
placed in the corenrstone of church
building, the great progress of these
years is eloquently emphasized
Printed prayers were evidently in
much favor, for the receptacle con-
tanned three prayers, two of them
for the success of the church" An
other side light on the change that
the years bring-this one in the ethical
realm-is furnished by lottery tick
ct 1t Is one bearing tho inscriptions;

that there will be no lottery tic,.et in

PATHETIC PLEA FOR CHILDREN
Words of Charles Kingsley Worth
Needing by Every Man and Wom-
an Of Any Worth.

Do not deceive yourselves about the
little dirty, offensive children in the
street. If they be offensive to you,
they are not to him that made them.
Take heed that ye despise not one
OF these little ones; for say unto you
that in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my father which
is In heaven" Is there not in every
one OF them, as In you, the light that
.l1ghteth every man that cometh into
the world? And know you not who that
Hight is, and what he said of little
chtldren2 Then take heed, ] say, lest
you despise one of these little ones.
Listen not to the Pharisee when he
says Except the little child be con-
Verted, and become as l am, he shall
In inowise enter into the kingdom of
heaven. But listen to the voice of him
who knew what is in man, when he
said: Except We be converted, We
shall not enter into the kingdom Of
heaven" Their souls are like their
bodies, not perfect but beautiful
enough and fresh enough to shame
anyone who shall dare to look down
upon them. Their souls are like their
bodies, hidden by. the rags, foul with
the. dirt of what we miscall civiliza-
ton. But take them to the pure
stream, strip of the ugly, shapeless
rags, wash the young limbs again, and
you shall find them, body and soul,
fresh and 1.-the, graceful and capable
capable of how much God alone who
made them knows.-From Charles
Kingsley's Address on Human SCOT.

SAYS OYSTERS SUFFER AGONY

Oysters on the half shell suffer un-
told agony when eaten" said DR.. Har-
vey Wiley. formerly Uncle Sans pure
food expert, the other night, according
to New York Herald Washington
correspondent. Ninety per cent of
them when eaten are alive and kick
ing. They suffer the most excruciat-
ing pains when you jab them with a
fork and follow with sprinkling of
salt, pepper and tobasco sauce.
ut is true that they are very low
order Of life, but as they eat and drink
they must be live animals and have
feeling. Imagine some monster COM
ing to. earth from Mars who thought
that we poor human beings were very
succulent morsels of food when eaten
alive. 1t would indeed be nice SEN
sation to be poked full of holes and
covered with about six pounds of salt
However, this will not deter mt,

sauce on quickly and then gobble it,
Its good thing that they can't

would not be so bad, for we would
then have the alternative of cooking
