DIES FROM STROKE

The sad news was received in To
nopah last night of the death of Prof.
L. f.. Winfrey, deputy state superin-
tendent of public instruction, in which
capacity he has paid numerous visits
to Tonopah. His death occurred as
result of stroke of apoplexy.
When Prof. Winfrey was making a
convas of the state for the Demo
cratic nomination for The position of
state superintendent of public in
struction, he experienced slight
stroke, which caused his enemies to
circulate the rumor that his indispo-
sition was due to intemperance, when.
in fact, he was a man who never
drank. even temporarily. The slurs
cast upon him, II is believed. has
tened his end and eneompassed his
defeat. He was man a splendid

Manager Van Dyck reports that
during the recent cold weather opera
tions in the mill were somewhat re-
tarded through the slowness of the
precipitation in the zinc boxes, but
he is confident that this condition
will be gradually overcome as the
spring approaches. II was found that
to obtain a fully formed precipitate
it was necessary TO put about four
times the normal amount of zinc in
the boxes As a result of this diff
Guilty, sufficient precipitates have not
been fully formed to warrant clean

present handling about forty tons of
ore daily, but the capacity will soon
be increased to from 80 to 100 tons
daily by the installation of additional
crushing facilities.
Conditions in the mine are highly
pleasing, according TO Mr. Van Dyck,
From three to twelve feet of ore,
averaging S. per ton, is being mined
from the three slopes above the main
tunnel The Hobo stope is itself
yielding from six to twelve feet of
pay rock. The tunnel is being con

RED CROSS SEALS.

Two hundred million Red Gross
Christmas seals are now being printed
and distributed by the American Red
Cross society and the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, according to a state
ment just issued by the latter organ
ization. The proceeds from the sale
of these seals will go for the fight
against tuberculosis in the communi-
ties where the seals are sold.
The organization of the Red Cross
seal sale this year will take in every
state and territory of the United
States, including Hawaii, Porto Rico,
and the canal zone. By December l.,
over 100000 workers, men, women
and children, will be engaged in the
campaign.
The sale in 1914 broke all previous
records, totaling over 55,O00,00O seals,
an increase of twenty-five per cent
over 1913. After deducting all ex-
penses, this left nearly 100000 for
tuberculosis work in this country. The
money has been and is being expended
by over 1000 different agencies who
benefited from the sale in amounts
ranging from 800 or less to over $685.
900. The American Red Cross an
nounces that it will continue its pre-
vious successful policy of charging
only ten per cent of the gross pro-
ceeds to state anti-tuberculosis asso-
Citations, thereby encouraging local
work.

OTHERS OPINIONS


Editor Observer: 1t has occurred
to me that one of the things that
would stimulate healthy competi-
ton among the farmers of Polk coun-
ty would be the offering of a prize in
connection with the county fair for
the best improvement in farms for
the year ending on September l of
each year. This would include not
only the best crops of a diversified
character, but the manner in which
all buildings are kept and the general
cleanliness of the surroundings, in
cluding roadways abutting and fence
CORNERS. 1 believe that this would
prove an inducement to further de-
velopment in the farms of Polk coun-
ty, and within short time would
make the rural realm of this favored
locality blossom as a rose. A com
mittee might be appointed by the
fair board to make the necessary in
vestigations, choosing men who are
familiar with present conditions in
all parts of the county, who would
render their decision at fair time,
stating wherein improvements had
been made during the previous twelve
month. If this proposition has mer-
it, and I am firmly convinced that
it has if properly worked out, would
be pleased to have the fair manage
ment give it consideration. While |
there are many pretty farms in the
county, growing crops unexcelled
anywhere in the Pacific northwest.
believe that great improvement may
De had through competition Of this
character. Of course some time would
necessarily have to be devoted to max
ng Investigations, but it takes effort
n almost any undertaking, so why
rot give this trial.-Subscriber.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY.

Saturday next will be observed
throughout this country as Fire Pre-
vention day. This day is not to be
observed as holiday, however, for,
on the contrary, the real object of
Fire Prevention day is to do some
thing that will aid in the prevention
of fires which are caused by careless
ness and negligence. In some of the
larger cities committees are named to
supervise this work and arouse the
interest and cooperation of citizens.
In some instances, committees have
made the request that on that day
all buildings be cleared Of waste and
rubbish, that lighting and heating ap-
paratus be inspected and repairs made
if needed, and that every other pos
sible precaution be taken to reduce
the danger of needless fires. In many
schools and factories, also, there will
be fire drills and talks about the
best way to prevent fires, and how to
quickly extinguish them when started,
thus to minimize the danger of ex-
tensive and expensive contlagrations.
As a matter of fact this question is
one of immense Importance to every
citizen and to every community in this
land. Official statistics show that in
the United States and Canada, the
annual loss by fire is $235, 5,591 $50, ex
elusive. of course, of the value of hui
man life destroyed. Every man, wo-
man. and child in the two countries
bears a burden of Sc. imposed indi-
rectly from the losses by fire and the
cost of maintaining fire-fghting ap-
paratus. The carelessness that was
responsible for the destruction of Chi
cago is responsible for enormous loss
es every year. The amount is large
enough to be worth saving, and it can
be saved if every individual viii do
his duty TO prevent it, by the use of
precaution and prevention.

LANDS NOT YET GONE.

The president has signed procla
nation opening to homestead entry
more than 100000 acres Of land il
North Dakota, this land being former
ly part of the Fort Berthold Indian
reservation. One hundred thousand
acres of land is not an immense tract
yet it represents an area Of no mean
proportions. 1t will cut up into more
than 600 farms of 160 acres each, oc-
cupying a section approximately ten
by sixteen miles. True this is not
much like the old days when hundreds
of miles of western prairie were open
to settlers. 1t is, however, a reminder
that there still is plenty of cheap land
in this country, and also reminder
that the government itself still has
much land that can and will be made
available for settlers from time to
time, as needed or deemed advisable.
Yet it also is true that with the
growth of population the time will
cOIue WueH all lHt Icltllo anu uodplc
land of this country will be occupied,
when the farms will grow smaller and
more numerous and intensive farming
will be practised to increase the pro-
ductivity of the land. Already this
tendency is apparent in the more
thickly populated sections and the
price of farming land has advanced
to correspond with the demand. How
ever, there is no real scarcity of land
as yet, and scarcely will be for at
least several generations to come. I'm
Gle Sam still has land to give away to
settlers-in rather small parcels, to be
sure, yet showing that the supply is
not vet exhausted. Also there is much
cheap land under private ownership,
not used as yet but waiting to be con-
verted into productive and profitable
farms. In southern Wisconsin, for
instance, there are large tracts of un-
used and unproductive land, which
some day will be thickly settled and
be converted into prosperous farming
communities. This process is going
on steadily, and faster than many
realize. And looking ahead one can
forsee the time when the cheap lands
will all be gone and every acre of
usable land will be far more valuable
than it is today.

MORE JOBS THAN MEN.

Convincing evidence of returning
prosperity in this country is to be
found in statement made by the SUI
perintendent of the federal employ
ment bureau at Chicago, who says
that at the present time the "jobs y
outnumber the men, in other words
that there are more positions to be
filed than there are workers who can
be hired. The superintendent adds
that there is no excuse for anyone
remaining idle if he really wants
work.
A wear ago at this time the number
of idle men in the larger cities was a
matter of serious concern. This year,
with the approach of winter, condi-
tions are quite different, for there ap-
pears to be work for all and the de-
mand for labor is constantly increas-
ing. There is good prospect, more
over, that trade and industrial activi-
ty will continue to increase and ex-
pand with the coming months, until
everyone will be getting real share
of prosperity. This country is to-
day, in fact, the most fortunate and
most favored nation on the face of
the globe-a fact that should cause
every American citizen to daily re-
new his fealty to the rule, "America
