WAS In SECRET SERVICE
DURING THE CIVIL WAR

II. ]. Rhodes, well.known resident of
Polk and Marion counties, who is re-
siding in Salem this winter, was in the
county clerk 8 office today to send off
some additional information to the PEN
sion bureau at Washington, D. c., rela-
tive to a pension for which Mr. Rhodes
applied through County Clerk Gehlhar
last August.
Mr. Rhodes served throughout the
Civil war as a member Of the secret
service and as Il spy inside the enemy s
lines and there was no record kept Of
his performances. He enlisted in the
Fourth Iowa cavalry at the outset of
the war and served four months in this
organization before he was transferred
to the secret service. Once in the Sc
cret service he became detached from
headquarters except at long intervals
and reports he carried were too danger
Gus to be committed to writing so there
is little on the records of the war de-
partmcnt relative to his performances.
Mr.. Rhodes never applied for u PEN
sion until last August, as he said he
was still able to take care Of himself
Though so years Of age, he is still hale
and hearty and says his eye is still
undimmed and that last week he killed

army revolver He was in the secret

SOlidi6ed Alcohol Is
Supplied To Soldiers

The commissary department OF
the French army has lately distrib
uted to men on guard in the advanced
trenches solidified alcohol which i:
easily lighted by match and burn
ing without a visible flame gives out
sufficient heat to warm up rations.
From the chemists standpoint al
cohol is still inexistent, all efforts to
arrive at this result at ordinary tenn
perature having failed. The avail
ability of a so-called solidified alco.
hol is due to the genius of the SNUG
gler. About ten years ago a man
conceived the idea of crushing graf
ed white soap in a mortar and mix
ing it with alcohol. In this form
the alcohol passed the customs in.
spection as soap and subsequent
simple process of distillation restored
the alcohol to its natural state. This
was the process taken up by the
army to furnish soldiers in trenches
convenient, inconspicuous means
of heating their food.

Big Prices For Wool

Good news for Nevada wool grow
ers is contained in a clippings from
the Salt Lake Tribune to which F
NJ. Lee, vice president of the Nixor
National Bank. now on his way East
has called attention.
The clipping says that eastern wool
buyers contracted for half a million
pounds of Utah and Idaho wool in
one day at Salt Lake City at an aver
age price of rs cents pound. Dur
ing the transaction, the lobby of the
Cullen hotel, where buyers and sell
ers gathered. took on the appearance
of board of trade. The prices were
said to range from % cents for Mer-
inc woods to % cents for the Cots
void variety, and word has been re-
ceived at Salt Lake City that prices
in Arizona have averaged around q
cents pound. A price of 25 cents
a pound, Mr.. Lee writes. would be
about 10 cents above the best prices
at this time a year ago.
In Elko County. the Elko Free
Press says, some growers have re-
fused % cents pound and are hold
ing out for rs and 80 cents a pound
for their wool.

CALLS WAR so FAR A PRELUDE
Editor of "Pall Mall Gazette De-
clares the Allies Have Big
Operations in View
London, February 2O.-J. L. Gar
win. editor of the "Pall Mall Gazette
and London observer, asked how
be viewed the war situation to-day,
wrote the following:

Istill. still stick to the text which
ventured to quite in the very outset:
"Tear EN-" is a good dog, but Hold
Fast" is better.
Everything thus far has been a
mere prelude in which the Allies on
land and sea have only little more
than held their own.
In fighting equipment the Allies
are only now beginning to overhaul
Germany's accumulated advantages
of gigantic preparation. We, for
instance, had to start from the
ground and build up everything
which was required for creating our
selves for the first time in our his
tory military power on a CONT
mental scale. Even now our navy
has had, in addition to all its other
work, to prepare fresh means to
meet naval emergencies.
Only few months hence will the
world begin to see the finished and
massive result of the many things in
the making and to realize what is
the meaning of the power of the
triple entente.
The new submarine campaign, |
expect, will cause a certain amount
of real injury and vexation at the
start, but it will be an excellent test
of the pluck and skill of our people
and will only result in raising to a
higher power their determination
and resource.
We do not at all underestimate
the Germans as they still under
estimate US. 1t is certain to be a
long, hard. stubborn and bitter war.
and the scales probably will seem to
waver during the next three or four
months, but after that | think you
will see the balance turning very
gradually but surely against our
enemies. =
If you look at the development of
our fighting and at the contrast be-
tween the immeasurable German
yaunting and the silent and unre-
sisting British work which is leading
them from modest excellence to
something like sheer mastery. | think
you may safely take it as a fair index
to other things which will disclose
themselves in due time.

Making Up The Face And Figure

Tonopah Bonanza: 1t may or it may
not be joke. that bill introduced in
the legislature of Kansas, forbid
ding all women under the age of As
years to paint their faces, wear false
hair and pierce their ears for adorn-
ments. But why the age limit?
Perhaps it is intended as a compen-
sation for the woes of senility.
Att events it is bill that contains
a smile. Who could imagine that
any woman would announce the fact
that she had attained to as years by
using cosmetics and other beauty
helps?"
Really it looks as though the au-
thor of the bill simply used his pre-
rogative as a legislator to introduce
a measure that would get itself talk
ed about and result in diminution
of the efforts of feminity to attract
masculines and make other fem
mines jealous by the use of methods
which really defeat both purposes.
Nature adorned is the lily painted
and fine gold gilded. 1t is an abhor-
rent practice and only results from
vanity. The girls who are least
artificial are earliest married, and
have more real friends of both sexes.
The Kansas legislator is a philos-
opher as well as a joker and is a
humanitarian also.

NO RELIEF FOR Elko HORSES


Elko Independent: Not much hope
for immediate relief from the epi.
demic that has attacked horses in
Elko County is held out at the State
meteorological laboratory at the
University of Nevada. Those in
charge say the Elko County horses
are suffering from an equine anemia,
malady in which the red corpuscles
in the blood decrease and in which
the haemoglobin. or red coloring
matter in each corpuscle, becomes
deficient. How to combat the afflic-
tion is something the experts have
yet to learn. They do not even
know how it is communicated, but
by careful investigation, they hope
to find out.
DR.. Stephen Lockett has been in
vestigating the cases recently re-
ported from the Clover Valley. For
several years DR.. w. B. Mack has
been working on the cases first re-
ported from Ruby Valley.
Some time ago the Nevada Land &
Livestock Company lost several head
of horses and tried vaccination, ap-
parently with good effect. the Wells
Herald says. William Schodde re-
Gently has been the heaviest loser.
The animals which become affected
lose flesh rapidly until they become
paralyaed and the horses, refusing
water and food, die in agony. The
indications are that the anemia is
not very contagious, but whether it
is transmitted by a parasite or a
germ is unknown

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT



Western Nevada Miner: Some
body has said that there are more
young men in the penitenitary in this
country learning trades than there
is outside of them. The principal
cause of this is we are educating our
young men for gentlemen; trying to
make lawyers, doctors and clerks out
of the material nature intended for
blacksmiths, carpenters and other
hewers of wood and drawers of
water. 1t is mistake and a big one
to teach boys and girls by insinuation
otherwise, that to labor is disgrace
