"ln many of the industries the ex-

plus after supplying the domestic
trade, and as the falling OFF Of the To-
cal demand was so great as to re-
quire a reduction in the total output
it followed that there was a smaller

First. the prices abroad have been adj

VALUE OF PARCEL POST

The American Express Company is
telling the people what fine institu-
ton the express service is---"an ex-
clusively American idea" The retort
of Congressman David J.. Lewis, of
Maryland, the author of the parcel
post law, is a gem:
There is no doubt that the ex-
press service is exclusively an Amer
lean idea, but that does not make it
a thing to be desired. The real diff
ference between the express company
and the parcel post is the motive.
The express company is runfor profit;
the parcel post for the good of the
country. The express company does
not get off the main lines of travel.
Parcel post will use a dog sled and
cross leagues of Alaskan SHOWS to
care for a lonesome miner. Express
management absorbs from 25 per
cent to one-third of the gross receipts
in needless expenses. Parcel post
substitutes the stamp and keeps SER
enely on, more interested in making
good thanin making profits"

WILSON LIFTS EMBARGO
Both Sides May Import Arms
From United States Across
Line Into Mexico

President Wilson has started
something in Mexico by granting the
privilege to ship arms across the
American border into Mexico, the
right being extended to both the
Huerta government and the consti-
tutionalists. The embargo on arms
has not before been raised since No
vember, 1910.
The London Daily Telegraph de-
scribes the proclamation of President
Wilson as a grave step, which finds
no parallel in modern history. The
newspapers in the city of Mexico, in
sympathy with the Huerta govern
ment, are in a rage at the course
President Wilson has taken, and bold
ly assert that it is a move to place
the constitutionalists in power, and
incidentally bring about American
Intervention.
President Wilson says he sees no
reason why American troops should
be removed from the Mexican border.
There is great activity among Ameri-
can ammunition agents and the con-
stitutionalists are rushing arms
across the border.

Nevada State News

Although the new library building
of the University of Nevada is just
completed, the regents of the insti-
tuition heve found it necessary to dis
cuss arrangements for putting in adj
ditional supporting pillars for the
floor before the books are moved into
the structure.
Due to the efforts of the Humboldt
County Chamber of Commerce, pro-
gressive citizens of Winnemucca are
raising a fund by popular subscrip-
ton for the building of sheep shear
ing corrals at that point. An entire
township of land, adjoining the town
on the north, has already been OBJ
tanned for the corrals and grazing

Carson Appeal: 1t is a great pity
that some of the Senators do not take

to say. If they could only learn to
boil down their rambling talks and
clothe their ideas in plain Anglo
Saxon they could save a great deal
of time now irrevocably wasted.

The marked success attending the introduction of Sudan grass
into the United States and the limited supply of seed grown this
year, due to the excessive drought, has led certain seed growers
and dealers to ask unduly high prices for the seed. The high
value OF this grass has been demonstrated by the splendid results
secured this season. While the supply is small. no one group of
dealers has a monopoly on the seed of this grass. 1t has been
quite "loey distributed by the Department of Agriculture for two
years. since 1T seeds freely. large quantities of seed will soon be
ootainaDie at reasonable rates. The average farmer is not justified
In paying IL or $3.50 per pound for this seed, except for very small
quantities to be used in growing his own supply of seed next year.
