New Teachers Elected.

The Board of School Directors of
this District at recent meeting elect
ed the following teachers to serve for
the coming year:
Mrs. Mary +. Bray, of Sparks,
Principal; Miss Bessie Sperry, of Car
son, Fifth and Sixth grades; Miss
Waugh. of Nordyke, and Miss Emma
He'd, OF Pueblo, Colorado, for the pri-
mary grades All of the old teachers
go out, and we want to say right here
that if the new teachers do as well
in their time as have the old corps,
Yerington will be fortunate little
city The teachers of the last year
have placed the Yerington grammar
school on high plane, where it is to
be hoped it will remain. These teach
ers will all take their departure in
few days and it is the hope of the
Times that their lines may fall in
pleasant places. To the new corps the
Times extends its best wishes, and, as
heretofore its columns will always be
open to any useful news and informa-
tion that the teachers may wish to
disseminate to the public.

SOME TIPS FOR NEVADA PO-
TATO GROWERS.
Remedies for Scab Suggestsed by Ag-
ricultural Department.

On account of the possibilities of
infection with powdery scab, the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
is now recommending all potato grow
ers to treat their seed potatoes with
sulphur. This is made expedient by
the fact that infected seed potatoes
have been shipped out of Maine where
powdery scab now exists. Recent tests
justify the departments scientists in
recommending thorough dusting
with flower of sulphur after the po-
tatoes have been cut, as a precaution
against the disease, but the treatment
is by no means intended to take the
place of formaldehyde as a general
disinfectant The department advises
the use of both formaldehyde and
sulphur
Before cutting, the potatoes should
be soaked for two hours in solution
of one pint of formaldehyde to 80 gal
Ions of water. They should then be
allowed to dry quickly either in the
open air or while spread out on clean
floor. This is known to be effective
against common scab and black leg
and should therefore be employed in
all cases Whether it is equally eff
fective against powdery scab is doubt
full and for this reason the use of sui
phur is strongly advised in addition.
The potatos should be cut first and
then busted thoroughly with flower
of sulphur.

Accident at Picnic.

Wednesday a rig driven by Emory
Archer and conveying load of school
children to the picnic near the Baker
ranch, started to run away after the
grounds had been reached and all occu-
pants of the vehicle had gotten out A
limb of tree hit the horse on the back
and frightened him. Young Archer
was on the ground but had hold of the
lines and tried to hold the animal but
was crowded into barbwire fence
and had his hand quite badly cut. Miss
McMurray brought young Archer 70
town and a physician fixed up the in
jured member so that it will be all
right in short time,

GRADUATING EXERCISES YER
INGTON SCHOOL.
Fourteen Members in Class of 1914
Pass Upward.

Rink Hall was we'll filled with pa
rents and friends of the 1914 gradual
ing class on Tuesday afternoon when
a program of variety and interest was
rendered.
Prof A. E. Turner, of Reno, gave
numerous readings, all we'll rendered
and happily chosen. This was Prof.
Turner's first visit to Yerington but
the public hopes to hear him again OH
other occasions His selections were
from both popular and classical poets
and were heartily encored
Miss McMurray and Mrs. Marvin
Yerington, of Goldheld, accompanied
by Miss Whitman, gave vocal solos
which were highly enjoyed Mrs. Yer
ington possesses voice of rare quail
ity and culture, and received an en-
thusiastic recall, to which she gra-
ciously responded.
The grades all marched in to mu-
sic furnished by Miss Virginia Carroll
and formed large section of the
audience, and the high school students
occupied large block of seats.
The other numbers of the program
consisted of selected numbers by the
Yerington orchestra, which donated
its services for this special occasion.
The class this year consists of four
teen members, and the enthusiastic
applause that greeted them when they
marched onto the stage showed the
deep interest which they hold in the
community-an interest we'll merited.
Mrs. Cora Fay White, principal of
schools, had been chosen by the class
to present their diplomas, which she
did in few brief but appropriate re-
marks, empha sizing the meaning of
the class motto, "'Tis not life that
matters; It's the courage you bring to
it."
Yerington feels pretty proud of this
class of 1914, and of their fine effort
in school, and the Times joins in
warmest congratulations upon their
reaching this memorable milestone in
their school career

WORLDWIDE DEMAND FOR
COPPER METAL.
Strength of the Metals Position is
Phen omiral.

If with spelter under S cents per
pound and steel prices at the lowest
hgures for years, copper prices can be
maintained at Ia cents and above. with
the brass industry in this country op-
Grating 90 per cent and new construc-
ton practically stopped, it is won
dertul commentary on the world wide
demand for the metal The question
to be considered is at what price cop
per will sell with business even nor
NAL, let alone booming
A production of l5l,000000 pounds
of copper for the month of April was
a surprise and under the circum-
stances an increase of 100000 pounds
was most satisfactory, following a de
crease of 100000 pounds the previous
month.
We are now back to practically nor
NAL copper production in this country,
and at the moment it may be that pro-
duction is slightly in excess of con-
sumption, but this is not situation
to cause much worriment, for with
the slightest sign of business improve
ment in this country the demand for
copper here would increase by leaps
and bounds.
Then again, in the past it was a
trade maxim that Europe would buy
an unlimited amount of copper at II
to l2K cents, the large consumers
and traders there being willing to
stock up with copper at that price for
investment Now it has become ap-
parent that the improved worldwide
demand for copper has changed the
buying level of the foreigners from
II TO ID cents and at the IA cent price
an almost unlimited volume OF copper
can be sold road.-Thompson,
Towle & Co.'S News Letter.

Majestic Range Demonstration.

Dillon and Vests store has been
the best visited shop in the city this
week, the occasion being the demon
stration of the Majestic Ranges by
w. ]. Hennessey As an advertising
stunt Mr. Hennesey baked six-layer
jelly cake on Tuesday afternoon and
then placed l0-foot plank on top of
it and assisted twelve women of Yer
ington to walk the plank. The cake
Immediately assumed the appearance
of a pancake, but as soon as the
weight was removed it rose rapidly
to its original size. The demonstra-
tor then cut the cake into slices and
served it with coffee to the ladies
present The Majestic birds sang all
the week in the store and several
ranges were sold and others ordered
for fall delivery. In the competition
contest among the children for the
best answer to the question, "Why is
the Majestic the most durable range
made?" the winner of the prize was
Miss Mildred Leavitt, whose answer
showed considerable thought, and was
very neatly written. The prize was a
dollars worth of merchandise, to be
chosen by the winner.

Yerington Bullion-Two shifts are
pushing work drifting and cross-cut-

on the 400-foot level AS yet all work
in every direction is in ore and the
body is proving to be big one This
ground is located some two or three
miles north of the famous Ludwig
portion of the Nevada Douglas. Man
ager J. A. Knox has stuck to it, devel
oping the property as he could get
funds, and has had some kind of a
working force on the ground nearly
all of the time during the past three
years. His faith in the property is
shown by his putting his own means
into it, and it now looks as though he
was going to be richly rewarded for
his tenacity and perseverance.

depth of about 80 feet Connection
with drill hole which was sunk some
years ago demonstrated that had the
hole been pushed down 5 feet further
It would have gone into this body of

The ore is cuprite and glance, is
about feet in thickness and of an un-
usually high grade, even for this dis
trict, which is noted for having the
richest copper deposits in the State
1t looks as though Dexheimer and
associates would make some big
money this summer as it will hardly
be possible for them TO take out all
the ore opened up during the period Of
their lease The company will profit
largely in the future.
