They are coming back to Nevada
and the good old mining game. Frank
Horton recently closed up a deal and
took over the Mcnamara and Millett
property at Athens, 20 miles east of
Nina. A great amount of develop
ment work has been done on the
property by past arrangements and
while a large tonnage of a good
grade of milling ore has been block
ed out the parties in charge were not
sufficiently financed to equip the
property with a plant to economically
handle the output. Mr.. Horton now

w. H. STRONG Is SENT
TO COMPANY HOSPITAL>

w. H. Strong, cashier at the
freight depot Of the L.. V. & T. rail
road, was taken to the company hos
pital at Las Vegas this morning suf-
fering from an acute attack of stom-
ach trouble which has left him in a
temporarily semi-deranged mental
condition. Monday morning he failed
to put in an appearance for work at
the customary hour and an investi-
cation resulted in finding him at his
cabin on Hall street temporarily out
of his mind. DR.. Rowland was called
in and advised that the unfortunate
man be sent to the company's hospi-
tai at Las VEGAS, where he will re-
ceive the best of treatment. This
morning he appeared to be in far
better shape and it is thought that
nothing serious will result. Strong,
who is Fl years old and married,
came here to accept his present po-
sition from Provo, Utah, two months
ago.

FOR CONSUMPTION

LONDON, April IS. - Premier
As1di.h's statement that the govern
ment is perfectly satisfied with the
recl Itia2 for the new army has
aroused the anger of the extreme
conservatives, who have long pleaded
for the conscript system and
thought the war would now force
it on the country. But the govern
ment, evidently with the support of
the great mass of the people, intends
to stick to the volunteer system.
In an editorial headed, The

Express attacks Asquith's position.
The point which is always ig-
nored. says the Express, lis that
a universal obligation to serve would
prevent the best elements in the ma
ton bearing the burden that ought
to fall equally on all and would pre-
vent the Indifferent and the slack
ers from escaping altogether. More

government many more men than it
needs. it would enable the authori-
ties to make a selection that would

BERLIN, April %. = By the

Kitchens to go out of commission,

the American colony, in alternating
groups of eight. have gladly given
their time in serving the war suf-

AS the war has progressed, how
ever, the membership in the Ameri-

steadily decreased. And funds for
the kitchen have come in more and
more slowly, and their end is now

The Americans set out to give
away a meal costing. exclusive of la
Dor or any other item, 80 pfennigs.
Supplies have gone up in price, how
ever, and the same food that in Oc-
tober cost 80 now costs 80 pfen-
nigs-another item in fastening the
end.
With a big, light, airy building
placed rem free at their disposal,
the Americans tried to feed 200 per-
sons a day, with a meal that in
many cases has proved to be much
better than that formerly enjoyed by
the beneficiaries in their homes in
times OF peace.
In selecting the persons-mostly

Kitchen has had invaluable service
from the National Fr%auendienst' or
association for helping women. This
organization has taken over entire
ly the matter of issuing cards en-
titling persons to meals, and has
exercised scrupulous care to see that
there was nj imposition.
The moment that a woman's hus-
band gets work or some other ave-
nue. of income has been opened up
to her, she has shut off her privileges
at the kitchen.
Thus recently a woman who had
been coming to the kitchen for about
three weeks entered on the Monday
of the fourth without a card. Sob
ing and weeping she admitted that
she had been to the Frauendienst
and had been refused a card, and
under pressure said the reason for
the refusal was that her husband

enough apparently to carry on the

WHERE IS WEST
GARDINER TO SEND
THE TUITION PUPILS?

The school committee on June is.
1914. decided to raise the tuition Of
outside scholars in the High school
IS per year and notified the authori-
ties Of the various towns sending
tuition pupils Of the raise in order
that they might make provision for
the change al their annual meetings If
desired. Most Of the towns took ad-
vantage Of the opportunity and made
the required provision. West Gardi-
ner did not and, when time for settle
ment came. refused TO pay the amount
OF the raise and sent check for the
old amount which was accepted on
account.
PREVIOUS to the opening Of the pres
ent term the West Gardiner authori-
ties were notified that unless the bal
ance was paid and some provision
mace for meeting the raise for the
present term, the West Gardiner pupils
would not be accepted as students
One Of the parents got busy immedi-
ateiy and collected the amount due
from the parents of those sending
pupils, with the promise that an ef-
fort would be made at the next town
meeting to have the town reimburse
them. No provision has been made,
however, for the present term and the
pupils We're admitted for one week
II at the close of that time some pro-
vision is not made they will not be all
lowed to attend.
1t would seem from the above state
ment that the authorities Of West
Gardiner are not appreciative Of the
advantage offered in having the pupils
attend the school, which is overcrowd-
ed at the present time. Last Febru-
airy, Supt. Chase explained fully to the
selectmen Of West Gardiner the situa-
ton and pointed way whereby they
might obtain about Sc more per pupil
from the State. This they failed TO
| take advantage Of. and the present
mixed situation is the result The
| next move will be watched with much
interest.
