so excited these warm days, and all
over subject not worth getting
excited about James F. Fielder.
Fielder is the man, you know, who
thinks he ought to be elected Gov
ernor of New Jersey simply because
he wants the office.
But what really worries our most
respected brother editor is the fear
that The RECORD is still hanging on
to the Republican party, after hav-
ing proclaimed its independence of
political entanglements. 1t is this
very independence that enables US
to tell the truth about such proposed
steals as the constitutional conven-
ton and its defenders, like Fielder.
We do not expect to support any
body from Hudson County, at any
time, nor will we even support for
mer Senator Gebhardt, of our own
county, should he be nominated. If
we supported any candidate, at all,
he would have to be an unquestioned
friend of the farmer and the coun-
try people. 1t doesn't make any
difference whether he is Democrat
or Republican. And we know that
at least one other Hunterdon County
newspaper will stand on the same
ground as THE RECORD.

THE EDITOR ASSAULTED

While at work at our desk this
morning we were startled to see
Contractor Shraven enter the office
with a pistol in his hand. With
out waiting for the usual salutation
he presented the weapon saying
that he had come after US. Seeing
that he meant business we grabbed
the handy shears and made for
him, but seeing that the dangerous
looking weapon was nothing but a
toy pistol that he swiped from one
of Billy Mayors buys and that in
stead of blood in his eyes there
was a merry twinkle, we dropped
the shears and listened to his
plant which was that we join Off
Ger Cisco, Editor Steninger and
himself and take something at the
Club saloon.
1t is needless to say that we
went. All took cigars and the
trouble ended in smoke. The cause
of Mr.. Shraven's invasion of the
office was the little squib we pub
lished yesterday about our dis
charge from the foremanship of
the Mayer Hotel building. We
were put back on the job this
morning but can't say how long it
will be before we are fired again.

WEALTH IN. PEANUTS

Why would not the raising OF
peanuts be a profitable industry in
Nevada if the following from an
exchange be true?
The raising of peanuts has be-
come a substantial industry in Ok
Peanuts in Oklahoma yield from
40 to 200 bushels an acre and in
addition produce from one to two
tons Of excellent hay. The hay al
most equals alfalfa. 1t is estimat-
ed that the crop this year will be
worth considerably more than S4,-
900.
The production of peanuts has
started new industries at Duncan,
in Stephens county, where peanut
oil mill is now in operation, and a
peanut product plant, employing
about 100 persons will soon be run
ming.
Stephens county farmers have
realized a net profit of $3.50 an acre
from their peanuts. The cost of
planting. cultivating and harvest
ing is practically the same as Tor
corn, ranging from $3.50 to SI4
an acre. They resist drought, de-
manding little moisture, and yet
are not injuriouly affected by
heavy rains. They mature in 80
days.
The most profitable way 70 han
die peanut crop is to NOV the
hay and bale it for the dairy herd
or the work stock and to "hog
out" the nuts. An acre of nuts
produces $50 to 1900 pounds of
pork. Since the hay more than
pays the cost Of production and the
peanuts being legumes, improve
the soil, the pork produced is q
net profit to the farmers.

anti SUFFRAGE MEETING

Miss Minnie Bronson, Genc raj
Secretary Of the National Associa-

will speak at the Bradley Opera
House tonight at 9 o'clock. She
will give some reasons why there

Suffrage and why she is in this

Miss Bronson was largely respon-

winter. She has spoken repeatedly
before legislatures and congress,
also before the United States Sen
ate Committee.
Miss Bronson was sent to the

TEACH SCHOOL CHILDREN
HOW TO USE DYNAMITE

First lessons in the Art of
Handling Dynamite" have been in
PRODUCED in the public schools Of
Tonopah at the suggestion of Trus-
tee w. w. Booth and beginning to-
morrow, the boys and girs uf Tono-
pah will be shown how to deter
mine the difference between the
deadly loaded giant cap and one
that is perfectly harmless. -
After the sad accident of last
May, when three boys were MAIN
ed for life while playing with full
minating caps they found on the
slopes of Mt Brougher, Mr. Booth
took the matter up with several of
the leading manufacturers of ex-
plosives, with the result that the
schools have received genuine caps
without the explosive and dummy
sticks of dynamite resembling the
original in every respect without
the power of ignition that will
serve to illustrate the dangers of
fooling with the real caps which
are scattered with prodigal pro-
fusion around most mining camps.
Once a month the explosives will
be displayed to the children of the
grades and the high school with a
short lecture informing them of
the manner of avoiding danger in
handling the deadly missile. The
teachers will try to impress on the
young mind how to avoid the use,
rather than to encourage idle ex-
periments.-Bonanza

The total assessed valuation of
Nevada is $l06, 100000. To raise
sufficient money to run the state
government this valuation must be
increased to at least $4,000, 600,
according to the state tax commits
sion. To secure this increase the
commission is arbitrarily raising
valuations on the struggling farm
ing and mining communities

the conditions under which they
struggle. And yet it is proposed to

to the California expositions. Will

with lead carbonate and occasional

dication favorable to the opening
Of an ore body on the main line of
the tunnel within short distan ce.
On the Kerr & Peterson Lease
the ore body is showing up larger
with every days work done upon it..
In the bottom of their main shaft
the ore has width of over twelve
feet between the porphry and lime
walls and has been drifted on for
distance Of thirty feet with ore
still in both ends Of the drift. They
are pushing work on their camp
buildings, ETC., so as to be able to
carry on the work during the win

Messrs. McConaghy & Lewis are
shipping from the Sylvania Mine
and developing a fine body of ore
in this property at the same time.
