What i. a Mu.tache worth7

a. .l4 t
What is the cash value Of mus
tache? The question is raised by a
forthcoming legal action In France,
in which a young man is suing his
late employer in peculiar circum-
stances. He recently obtained the po-
sition OF valet to an attache Of the
Chinese embassy here and one Of the
conditions OF his employment was
that he should shave OF his mustache.
The young man complied with this in
struction and sacrificed his hirsute
adornment, not without regret. But
q week later he was discharged and
he is now suing the attache for $40
as damages foi the "esthetio preju..
dice" that he has suffered through the
loss of his mustache- This would seem
to be modest valuation, especially
when one takes the esthetic prejudice
Into account

REvIvING DEAD SOIL SPOTS
Lack Of Plant Growth Sometimes A..
tributed to Want Of Water-Ma-
nure 10 Lacking Essential.

(By H. P. FISHBURN. Assistant Chem
list. Idaho Experiment Station.)
On land devoid Of sufficient organic
matter or sand. there sometimes oc-
cur spots that are apparently dead or
unresponsive to water and plant life
to any marked degree. Lack Of plant
growth is sometimes attributed to
want of water, and oftentimes such
may be the case, but the spots In
question are Of q different nature from
the surrounding soil. usually very com.
pact and most impervious to water,
indicating too large percentage Of
clay.
Experiments have shown that these
spots can readily be brought to high
state of fertility by the proper 1ncor-
poration Of manure. Such condition
could not easily be remedied ifit were
asease of alkali. which answers the
question several times asked. whether
or not this be case of alkali.

est possible price. The Verdi com
pany derives It's name from the cree.
ton Of its first immense saw and
planning mills al the town OF that
name. As the supply Of timber failed
TO meet the requirements Of trade
The Verdi Lumber company was
the highest bidder for 400 1000, 900 feet
OF lumber offered by the United
States forest reserve last summer in
Sierra and Pumas counties, Califor-
mia, which required the construction
Of twenty-five miles of railroad. This
will enable the company to offer a
better quality of lumber at former
prices.
With the opening of southern Nevada
the rush brought orders at such
rate that at one time it was deemed
impossible for any single company to
meet the call The Verdi compa ~
sent out trainload after trainload of
lumber and mining timbers, and the
only delay was due to the action of
the railroads in placing an embargo
on all shipments destined for Tono-
pah and Goldfield. Payment of
charges in advance made no differ
ence. The railroads were overtaxed
and could not find terminal room for
unloading their cars, and consequent
ly had to refuse to accept shipments
which could not be delivered. Fabu-
lous prices were offered for prompt
movement of cars. but there was no
inducement that could compel the
Verdi company to alter its rules to
send out shipments in the order they
were received.
This year the Verdi company took
over the Reno Sash and Door works,
and now the builder or miner who
wants to patronize an exclusive home
industry can do so by placing his
order with the Verdi company Paul
