FRUIT AND POTATO CELLARS
Temperature Should Be Kept as Low as 1t Can Without lnjury-keep
 VentiIators Open.

Fruit and potatoes must be kept at uniform low temperature, as low as it can be without injury. Close up the windows when there is danger of freezing, but keep open in mild weath- CT. The changes that go on in ripen- ing fruit generate heat and this should be borne in mind. They also cause the liberation of injurious gases and when fruit is stored in cellars under the family living rooms ample ventila. ton should be provided An opening into the flue of the chimney may an- swer if there is not much fruit in store.
 Have a thermometer in cellar and see that uniform temperature both damp cellar will cause rot and a hot. dry air will produce dry rot The house cellar should not be used for storing large quantities of potatoes, fruits, or vegetables, as the gases from the vegetables. unless ample ventilation is given. will penetrate into the living rooms and is liable to produce levers and other dangerous diseases.
 Stock beets and potatoes keep bet ter stored in pits dug in high. dry ground, the roots first covered with one foot of straw and then 20 inches of earth firmly packed down. Make trench around the pits to carry of the surface water.
 Potatoes stored in pits thus made will keep sound and solid and are bet ter potatoes for roasting or boiling than potatoes stored in most house cellars.

MERCHANT SHIP
 SUNK BY GERMANS
IT IS THE BELIEF THAT KAISER PLANS SYSTEMATIC RAID ON
 BRITISH SHIPPING.
CREW TAKES TO OPEN BOATS
Muscovite Armies Are About to Swarm Into German Territory, 1t
 Is Reported to London.

London.-The British steamer Dur ward, Reuter- dispatch from Rotter- dam says, has been torpedoed by q German submarine. The crew was saved.
 The Durward was a vessel of 1900 tons, built at Glasgow in 1895 and owned by G. Gibson x Go. of Leith. Scotland.
 The Durward was bound from Leith for Rotterdam and was struck by the torpedo, according to the Reuter- core spondent, while 22 miles off the Maas iightship. The crew took to the boats and reached the lightship from which a Dutch pilot boat conveyed them to Rotterdam.
 News dispatches referring to the situation in Poland set forth that north of the Vistula, in the vicinity Of Lipno, Russian advance guards are within 20 miles of the German froE- tier, while to the northwest the Ger. mans have evacuated Skempe, which is about 25 miles from the Prussian border and due southeast of Thorn.
 If the Russians follow up their sue. cess at Skempe and continue their forward movement, 1t will give thedn an unbroken front, in the opinion of British observers, dangerously near German territory.

MAKE GRAIN ELEVATOR
Cannot Be ExceIled for Prepara-
 ton of Seed.
All Parts of Device Can Be Obtained From Old and Discarded Machin- ery-Total Cost Is Not More
 Than Five Dollars.

By obtaining a bell from someone who owns a threshing machine you can easily make an elevator for han ding loose grain from one bin to an- other or for sacking. The use of this machine cannot be eXcelled when the time for cleaning seed grain comes, writes George Bersaw of Mora, Minn., in Missouri Valley Farmer. With it one man can furnish a steady run of grain into the flaming mill while the other runs the mill. The elevator also is handy for loading grain in wagon box One man can easily load 100 bushels with it in less than an hour
 To make this elevator you will need four boards s feet long. planed on both sides; one secondhand drive belt s inches wide and fl feet long; two 3 or inch pulleys with shaft 12 inches long and two sprockets from an old binder, one inches and the other as large as you can get it for easy drive, say 12 or If inches. Put a crank handle on the larger sprocket if the elevator is to be run by hand, or if by power arrange for a small pulley. The drive chain to work over the sprockets should be feet long. Also bracket irons will be needed for placing the drive pulley on and for at- taching the entire elevator to the

ANY SOIL GOOD FOR BEETS
However, Rich Sandy Loam Will Give Best Results-Plant in Drills,
 12 to 19 Inches Apart.

The red garden beet may be grown in any good soil, but rich sandy loam will give the best results. Sow the seeds in the spring as soon as danger of frost has passed. Beets should be planted in drills twelve to eighteen inches apart, and when the plants are we'll up they should be thinned to four or five inches in the row. If desirable to plant the rows three feet apart for horse cultivation, the seeds may be sown in a double drill with six inches between leaving 30 inches for culti- vation Two ounces of beet seed are required to plant one hundred feet of rule, each seed ball contains more than one seed, and this accounts for beets coming up very thickly. The seed should be covered to a depth of about one inch. For a succession of young beets Curing the summer, or five weeks during the spring months. Beets intended for winter storage should not be sown until late in the summer, the crop being har vested and stored in the same manner as turnips. Sugar beets are often sub- stituted for the ordinary garden beet. especially for winter use.
 Beets are used for pickles, or boiled, sliced or fried in butter, adding lit tie vinegar just before removing from the fire. The young plants are used for greens.

THREE REASONS Each With Two Lees and Ten Fingers

A Boston woman who is fond moth CT writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys.
 Among other things she says: Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack, and Dick, respectively. are three of our reasons for using and recommending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape-Nuts since infancy. and often between meals when other children would have been given candy.
 "I gave a package of GrapeNuts to a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was a weazened little thing. i'll half the time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and cream greedily and the mother continued the good work. and it was not long before truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child s face and body. The results were re- markable. even for Grape-Nuts.
 Both husband and use Grape Nuts every day and keep strong and well and have three of the finest, healthiest boys you can find in a days march"
 Many mothers instead of destroying the children's stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters a hand ful of Grape-Nuts when they are beg ging for something in the way of sweets. The result is soon shown in greatly increased health. strength and Eental activity.

PROPER RATlONS FOR LAMBS
Returns Than Sheep-Good, Warm Sheds Are Essential.

As economical consumers of rough age and homegrown grains, no animal is capable of giving better returns than the sheep Many farmers have found lamb feeding a profitable busi- ness. Feeding range lambs seems es- pecially adapted to many farms where labor is available during the win ter, and where one of the chief ends of stock feeding is the resulting manure On such farms band of range lambs will clean up the fields in the fall utilize the farm roughage, and leave a large supply of manure, besides pay ing a profit for their food and attend ance.
 Good lambs, bought early in the fall, and started to pasture and fall for age, may gain from eight to twelve pounds per head at very low cost Such lambs are in much better condi- tion to put on full rations of grain, and will make better gains than those pur- chased later and put on full feed at once.
 The lambs should go into the feed
 
 lot before the weather is cold and changeable. What they will glean from the fields after the first stormy weather will hardly offset the losses from exposure and dampness. Good warm sheds that open toward the south are best
 During the full feeding period they will thrive better if kept in punches of forty or fifty. In order to do this, the shed may be subdivided. Yards and sleeping quarters must be dry and clean. Foul air and dampness are two things that sheep cannot stand. The feed troughs for grain should be fast ened securely to the racks to prevent waste. Succulent feed adds to the ef ficiency of the ration. Roots and corn silage are the best for conditioning lambs at this time of the year.

MidWinter Hou Feed.

The most economical food for pigs farrowed in late summer to be mar heted in midwinter, is millfeed and wheat-bran slop, in connection with grass and clover pasture When the pasture fails, pour the slop over fine cut clover hay, mixing in few hand fuls of flaxseed meal; this makes a rich and nourishing food. In cold weather scald the hay The last feed ing month give ear corn after the slop is eaten.

SULLIVAN CONVICTED
1ST DEGREE MURDER
Jury Out About Four Hours-Oefend
ant Receives Verdict Without
Evidence of Feeling

The arguments in the case of Har
land II. Sullivan. indicted as w
Woods, for the killing of Ollie Bates
were concluded yesterday afternoon
at 3:l5. About 7:30 last night a yer
dict was reached of murder in the
first degree with recommendation
for life Imprisonment. When the yer
dict was rendered the prisoner seemed
TO be but little concerned and as he
walked from the courtroom he was
smiling
1t is understood that for many bal.
lots the jury stood ten 20 two for con.
viction.
This has been one of the most in.
tereStinS cases tried in Elko County
in years. and one OF the hardest
fought. II will he remembered that
Sullivan first entered a plea of not
guilty but later offered TO change his
plea. stating that he desired TO make
a clean breast OF the whole affair.
The court refused at the time to al.
low the motion for a change OF plea
as the defendant was without counsel
Attorney Joseph Mcnamara was then
and later Attorney Van Fleet was
made assistant counsel. The case
went to trial and the defendant went
on the stand and made a complete
denial of having fired the fatal shot.
His confession, which was made to
the district attorney was not allowed
in evidence. but strong chain of cir
cumstantial evidence was forged, prov,
ing beyond doubt that he was guilty.
Messrs. Mcnamara and Van Fleet
put up q hard fight for the defendant
taking advantage of every possible
point, but 1t was not in the cards to
get him off with lighter verdict than
the one rendered. They did their full
duty by their client and Ii was
through no fault of theirs that he was
not acquitted.
The county officials are to be com
mcndcd for the manner in which this
case was conducted from the begin.
ming of the investigation to the very
end of the trial. That they cOnduc.
ted every movement intelligently is
evidenced by the final results. They
have brought to justice the perpetra'
tor of one of the coldest blooded murd'
ers ever committed in the county. and
when investigation first began there
was not single clcw to work on.
We commend the verdict of the jury
as both intelligent and just. and IT
will meet with general approval OF
the public.

also announced that Judge Peter Som

There is Il well defined rumor here
that Attorney +. h. Cainc has been
prevailed upon to enter the congres.

announcement Of his candidacy at I'm
early date. AS Mr.. Caine is associ.
ated with Mr.. Henderson il can be
safely assumed that the latter has no
intention whatever of entering the
fight, but that he will throw his in.
fuence and support TO Mr.. Cainc. We
were unable 10 confirm the report to.
day, but our source of information is
such that there is no doubt that Mr.
Caine is at least considering the mat.
ter.
The announcement OF Mr.. Caine S
candidacy would be enthusiastically
received in this section. and we be-
lieve by the entire stale. He is EN-.
inently qualified, has had an abund
ance of experience, is thoroughly ac
qua'nted with the states needs. and
he Is one of the most loyal citizens
of this commonwealth. He would
make an ideal representative and we
hope he will throw his hat in the
ring. If he so decides. Elko county
will for the first time have repre-
sentative in congress.
From a geographical point of view
Elko county is entitled to this Of
flee. We haven't one state officer
and both the senatorial candidates are
from Southern Nevada Western Ne

the largest taxpayer in the state and
the third largest in point of popuia
ton. With no representation in eth
er the state or national government
the right of this county to name the
democratic candidate for congress al
the next election should be- conceded
Members OF all parties in this sec
lion would rally to the support of Mr.
Caine on account OF his personal
worth. Should he be nominated there
is no doubt of his election.
