RENO PLANS CITY BEAUTIFUL

The city council of Reno has plans
under consideration for the installa-
ton of electroliers for the downtown
district and a gradual extension of
the system of lighting into the resi-
Dental district as the funds warrant
the increase. The plans call for eight
lights to the block and will be on
the same order as the California cities
have installed if the council can see
its way clear to put them in. The
matter rests on the 1916 board.

Liz READING Detectives.

In a Vienna school for the deaf and
dumb. where lip reading is taught, a
course has been established for the spe-
cial purpose of teaching the art TO de
tectives. The possibilities of lip read
ing. says the author of the account in
the Volta Review, have been exagger-
ated. But they are sufficient to cause
authorities to think the instruction OF
detectives worth while. When a de-
tective becomes proficient. he is able
to learn something of the conversation
between people who are visible. but out
of, earshot. The article says that at
from 80 to 100 feet it is possible for an
expert to get the general run of a con
v~ersation. Some reading has been done
with glasses at a distance of l25 feet.
instruction and practice in the art
must be very thorough if the detective
is to use it to real advantage in his
work.

Buck is a very desirable man or
he would not be able to hold his
job through so many administra-
tons. No doubt he knows more
state and political secrets than
any other man in the state, but
he has been wise enough to hold
his tongue after he finds out the
other mans secrets.

COTTON cRoP CONDITION

The report of the United States
government, through the bureau
of the agricultural department
which collects statistics of the
condition of the cotton crop,
issued on August 80 places the
estimate at 69.1 per cent OF
normal. The report of the Com
mercial Appeal issued on the
same date estimated the crop at
70.2 per cent of normal.
A former estimate Of the gov
eminent places the yield for 1915
at IL, 900, 900 bales. The condi-
ton of the crop and the reduc-
ton of Is per cent in acreage
does not indicate that the crop
can exceed the government S
estimate. Dry weather that ex-
tended throughout July and the
excessive rains in August have
combined to reduce the yield. In
Mississippi conditions are not
above the general estimate for
the entire south, but in this inn
mediate section a good crop is
promised unless the boil weevil
does considerable damage. In
the Delta the crop is not as good
as it was for the past two sea-
sons and as that section adds
greatly to the volume of the
states production the yield for
the state will not run as high as
did the last years crop.
Under present conditions we
should reasonably hope to see
the price between nine and ten
cents with the possibility OF a
much higher price before the
season closes.

TRAPPED A sEAGULL.
Queer Contest Of Strength Between 9
Bird and a Bivalve.

Queer Contest Of Strength Between a
Bird and a Bivalve.
At first thought it is hard to imagine
how a clam could endanger the life Of
a bird. That such a strange circum-
stance is no. impossible is shown by
the following incident:
A settler on one of the small islands
near Vancouver was returning to his
home by way of a beach Of hard sand
when he beheld an unusually large
flock of seagulls gathered in a compact
mass and beating with beaks and
wings upon the sand. Evidently they
were attacking some enemy. over
head dozens of gulls wheeled and
screamed in evident excitement.
The settler was almost upon the
fighting birds before they burst apart
and flew. c%hattering, toward the clouds.
One. however, lay Tapping upon the
ground. and the man saw thai la mon
ster clam held the gull's beak i a wise
like grip. 1t was too heavEIlor the
bird to fly away with, and for pill the
gull's frantic struggles it colId not
loosen the CLAIMS tenacious grin
With his hunting knife the man
pried open the shells and freed Tne cap
tive. The gull was exhausted from its
desperate efforts and at first conld only
stagger like IA drunken sailor toward
the water. Finally, however, it few
away and soon returned in the var OF
a cloud of gulls come to inspect the en-
envy that had trapped one OF their
tribe.-St, Andrews Beacon.

A PAIR OF sHoESTRINGs.
The Matter of Length and How to Tie
a Bowknot That viii Hold.

The Matter of Length and How to Tie
a Bowknot That viii Hold.
A %shoestring is "six-fourths' long
when one does not specify the length
required. "%Six-fourths of what?" is
likely to be the question put by the
layman.
When a mar buys a new pair of
shoes the strings in them are just long
enough. When he buys the next pair
Of shoestrings they are too long. The
strings that come with the shoes are
f~our-fourths long, the next pair will
be six-fourths unless the purchaser
asks for and can get four-fourths.
These lengths have to do with mems
high shoes. There is not the same
trouble in the case of low shoes.
Some shoestrings will wear a long
time, but they will become brown. 9th
ers will not wear so long, but will
retain their original ~blackness. The
strong strings that turn brown are of
linen or very strong cotton. The 9TH
ers are Of mixed fibers that hold their
color.
Many people prefer the less durable
shoestring, not only because it holds
its color, but because being of a less
hard fiber 1t stays tied better than
the other. A few of the millions OF
shoestring wearers know how to tie a
bowknot that won't come united. The
method can be explained without a dia-
gram.
Instead of tucking the bow once
over before drawing the knot tight.
tuck it twice over. A fiddle string used
for a shoestring would not come I'M
tied if the knot were made in that
way. This knot can be united in the
same way as the other, by pulling at
the Observation-Disclosures Record.

Transforming cIothesIine Posts.

A suburban resident grew tired OF
the wooden %clothesline posts in his
back yard. He incased them in chicken
wire netting and planted sprouts OF
ho%neysuckle around the posts. He then
nailed a little bird house to the top OF
each. In a short time the h~oneysuckle
had completely covered the unsightiy
posts and a pair Of bluebirds built a
nest in one of the houses. Many OF
this mans neighbors took up the idea,
and honeysuckle vines and bird houses
nov make the clothesline posts OF his
locality a pride to their owners.-House

A FAMILY ROW

The state is being treated to
the amusing attitude in which
Congressman Sisson has been
placed by the charges made by
his brother-in-law, William
Ward, of Winona, who is trying
to shove Mr.. Sisson into the race
against John Sharp Williams for
the senate. For sometime it has
been understood that Mr. Sisson
was a candidate for the senate
and several interviews have been
issued, apparently with his sane
ton, to that effect. His brother
in-law, William Ward, now comes
out and openly charges that Mr..
Sisson has played him false by
refusing to run. Mr.. Ward is
an avowed candidate for Mr..
Sisson's seat in congress, due,
he claims to Sisson's promise not
to run. While this controversy
is in progress the people Of the
Fourth district may be casting
around for other timber out of
which to make their next con-
gresham.
