the high mountains is the case of an
Italian lieutenant who with eighty
five men in a passage Of the Agno
valley held at bay for one hour a
company and half of Bavarians

(By the Sporting Editor)


The most important game of the

at the local park, when the strong ag-
gregation from Montello clashes with
the Elko team. Two weeks ago Mon
tello decisiyely defeated the Elok team
AT Montello. and with added strength

OF landing another one. Tracy the big
twirler of the Railroad team has an
abundance of speed, and his "knuckle

mighty hard time against the locals
with Manning on the mound. Man
ming has as much stuff" as has been
shown by any HEAVIER this year, and
local fans are picking the big south
paw TO win his game tomorrow.
In Claude Wilson. the fans of Elko
will see the best receiver that has
played this year, while the infield and
outfield are both strong on the de-
fense.
Montello will bring down large
number of fans and with a strong
team, the afternoon should be one of
the best of the year. Critics who have
watched both teams say that it will be
a pitchers battler from start to finish
The local squad have not had an op-
rorunity to get in many workouts this
week, and will find themselves up
against hard fight tomorrow.

oak bark tanning system about nine
ty days are required. Mr.. Garcia has
secured an expert tanner direct from
Spain, and this young man who has
spent practically all of his life in a
tRnnery will superintend the work.
The tanning process is done by
means Of a series Of vats. The raw
hide Is first placed In a solution con.
sisting principally OF water and bran.
When 1t is thoroughly soaked and
pliable II is then placed in a solution
of lime water to remove the hair.
From there It goes to wash where all
the lime is removed. From there 1t
goes to another soaking solution, and
after certain time here IL Is fleshed
by means of scraping. 1t is then
ready for the tanning process and 1t is
placed in the solution of oak
bark and water. Here 1t is fire..
quently turned over and occasional.
ly scraped to remove the soft feshy
part inside. After period Of about
| ninety days II Is taken from the tan
ming solution and is dried and con
verted into finished leather by means
OF ironing ,olling, etc.
Mr.. Garcia's enterprise is certainly
to be commended. Starting here In a
small way to manufacture saddles
about twenty years ago, he has built
up one of the largest factories OF its
kind in he United States, and his
saddles, bits, spurs, harness, saddle
trees, hand.carved leather goods, etc.
are known all over the world.
We wish him abundant success lr
this latest venture.

Japs Work All the Time.

Literally the Japanese work all the

find Japanese men and women at work
In their shops at two, three and four
o'clock in the morning They must
work like this or starve. They live d.
rectly in the rear of their places of
business. Their entire household
equipment comprises a few mats, a
few cushions and little tableware.
They go at their job-whether 1t con-
sists Of making clogs or inlaid cuff
buttons - and work and work and
work until they are exhausted. Then
they sleep a little and go back to
work. 1t does not take a Japanese
ten minutes to eat his meal of rice
and fish. He has his festivals. of
course, and a good many Of them; but
he works the rest Of the time; and in
many households 1t must be a special
and personal festival, connected with
some individual or family gods. to lure
him from his occupation. He needs
the money.-Samuel G. Blythe in the

LEARN TO TELL GOOD STORIES
Writer In Philadelphia Newspaper
Gives Some Excellent Advice to
the Young Mother.

So many mothers say, Il can't tell
stories. Besides, don't know any"
Well, you can tell them and you
should learn them. To read them is
not the same. The book and the words
are between you and your child. You
can never give yourself in the same
way through reading print as when
you let your own appreciation Of the
story speak through your voice and
eyes straight to your child. Absorb
your story. Make a part of yourself
all its beauty, its message, and then
free yourself from mere words. See
the pictures and reveal them to your
listening child.
AS for knowing stories, learn them.
II you can't find them for yourself be-
siege the editors of your magazines
and newspapers for them until you
are supplied. Insist on having the
best. There are no stories so good as
the old, old ones which sprang from
the heart Of the race in ages past.
These old tales meet the child's need
because they correspond to his stage
OF development. They were primitive
mans effort to explain himself, ma
ture and God. The child will recog-
nize his kinship to them. He will find
In them the great truths which an,
swer his own wonder and longings.-

Proper Home Influence


The boy who is taken out for a
stroll on a Sunday afternoon by his
father" says Judge Scully. formerly OF
juvenile court, is seldom the boy
who gets into trouble" Judge Scully
finds. and social workers will agree
with him, that the lad who is tempted
to follow the downward path is the
lad who Is deprived of proper home
influences. The tone of family de-
ponds largely on the mother, but the
father should not restrict himself to
the humble though necessary position
or breadwinner. In the opinion of
many observers, too many boys, whose
homes are fairly good in most re-
spects, suffer from the fact that they
know little about their father, and he
knows little about them.

The motion-picture business is rated
as the fifth largest industry Of the
United States. This includes merely
the making Of the films. It is said
that sums ranging from 100000 to
100000 are sometimes expended in
the making Of single feature film.
And all this to cater to the demands
Of public which usually pays only
nickel or dime for its entertainment.
To make such an expensive business
profitable II must hold an immense

Last Sunday Holy Communion was

German members attending. Rev. A,
Wismar, of Gretna, the pastor in
charge of the congregation, preached
a very interesting sermon, taking for
his text St. Luke, chapter xix, V. Al
and As: And when he was come near
he beheld the city and wept over it.
And could not find what they might
do; for all the people were very atten-
tive to hear him."
The voting members held a special
meeting last Friday for the purpose
of calling a pastor. May we soon
have a pastor to lead our congrega-
ton. st. Matthew xviii, verse 20:
Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever, have commanded you;
and 10, | am with you always, even
unto the end of the world"
Tomorrow night, Friday, the regular
meeting of the church officers will be
held. All voting members are re-
quested to attend.
On next Sunday there will be Eng
lish service at 1890 a. M, and Sunday
School at a. m.
Our superintendent, F. Guendisch,
will be delighted to have the parents
send their children to Sunday School
every Sunday in the future. Mr..
