Senate Puts in Clause in Safety at Sea Matter Which He Thinks
 Nullifies it.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Presi- dent Wilson expresses the opinion that a clause put into the safety at sea treaty by the senate practically null lifes it.

For some time the citizens In the
western portion Of the city have
been asking for an extension Of mail

that all houses be numbered, that
signs be posttd at street corners, and
that each block be properly lighted.
If the service is extended the peo-
pie residing in that portion Of the

ments, and it is now up to them.

United Press. I'VE have become

to learn ways of thrift, but I find that
the German nation is more thrifty
than the German individual. Thrift
taken up the systematic education Of
the people to greater individual
thrift, knowing that without that, our
municipal, state and national affairs
ill be run on thrift lines. One OF
the purposes of our society was to
learn from inquiry in foreign coun-
ries, and I have observed and learn
ed much which I hope may be nation
ally useful in America. The physical
conditions Of the men, the longer and
more specialized school system and
the cooperative buying and selling,
are aspects Of German thrift which
will repay our study. A definite and
systematic effort must be made in
America to teach the benefits Of the
household garden, as we'll as how to
make one, and in doing this learn
handicraft, which otherwise city boys
do not learn. The urban population
must get back to the land, and this

LIGHTNING STRIKES
BONANZA MACHINE
cHAsES PLoYEs AROUND
SHOP AND LODGES IN
LINOTYPE.

Lightning got loose yesterday in
and around Tonopah. A fash struck
the pole back of the Bonanza office.
One charge followed the ground wire
into the earth, while another skipped
from the first pole to another pole
and followed the wire into the Bo-
nan2a press ROOM where it burnt in
two the wire that held an electric
bulb over the linotype machine,
burned out the fuse and damaged
the motors. Those who happened to
be in the room at the time surmised
that the Mexican revolution had
come to Tonopah.
Outside the city the display was
appalling. John Delks, the trouble
shooter of the power company, said
the desert was covered with huge
fiery balls that rolled around and set
the sagebrush on fire in dozen
places, Delks is used to lightning,
but he says he never saw anything
to compare with that of the past few
days.
