.ADULTERAT|ON OF
OATS TO Be STOPPED
GOVERNMENT WARNS SHIPPERS
AND DEALERS TO CEASE
PRACTICE AT ONCE

Nny associated PreBa.l
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. q
Seventy-tive carloads of oats intended
for export have recently been seized
by the federal authorities because
they were found to be adulterated
within the meaning of the food and
drugs act. The adulteration charged
is the addition of feed barley or wa
ter or both Under certain circum-
stances aduteration in these ways
may be so profitable that it is believ!
ed to be at times a common practice
among grain shippers. The govern
ment, however, is determined that the
practice shall cease at once, and field
representatives of the department of
agriculture have all been instructed
to exercise the utmost vigilance in
detecting future shipments adulterat-
ed in this way.
Low grade barley, which is known
to the trade as feed barley is some
times mixed with oats when there is
sufficient difference between the
prices OF the two grains to make this
profitable. This feed barley is the
product which remains after the best
grade of the grain has been separated
and removed for mailing purposes. II
contains material percentages of weed
seeds, foreign grains and dust and
the addition to oats of such prod
uct is held to be a violation of the
food and drugs act. The addition of
water to oats arises from the fact
that the grain is sold by weight In
vestigations by the department of ag-
riculture have revealed the fact that
water is sometimes added in the
amount of from to per cent

WRITTEN CONTRACTS
ADVICE OF COURT
DECISION IN GE6HARDT-S cHE.
MANsKl CASE RENDERED BY
JUDGE AVERlLL

Judge Mark R. Averill, sitting with
out jury. has rendered a decision
in the case of L. X. Gebhardt against
B. Schemanski ct AL His conclusions
are that there is due from the de-
PENDANT to the plaintiff a balance of
Sis, that the plaintiff is allowed an
attorney fee against the defendant of
81 and that each side pay its own
costs.
In summing up, Judge Averill
states: This is another case of
those which have reached this court.
and which are no doubt common in
every court, wherein the parties find
themselves disagreeing and put to
much trouble and expense because
they failed to reduce their contract
to writing. Half an hours time and
a very little cost would have obviated
an expensive trial and one bound to
result unsatisfactory to both sides,
because all court can do with such
litigation generally is to effect a sort
of forcibie compromise, but with due
regard, OF course, to the evidence"

SOME SIZE TO THESE
MASON VALLEY SPUDS

A Tonopah man who returned yes
terday from Mason Valley reports
that there is scientific potato grow
er there who is known locally as the
Burbank of Nevada. He has pro
duced a variety that grows to enor-
nous size. Several days ago farm
er living few miles away, hearing
of this new variety, sent his son over
10 purchase some seed potatoes. "Fa-
Their wants a hundred pounds of
your new potatoes and will pay you
well for Them said the young man.
"rd like to accommodate you" re
piled the potato wizard, but you tell
your father that wouldn't cut one
OF my spuds for your father or any
body else"

PORT OF LONDON
HAS ITS TROUBLES
WAR CAUSES HEAVY BURDEN TO
FALL ON ENGLISH
DOCKS

=
LONDON, Feb. 2.-The newspaper
charge that chaos exists at the Lon
don docks, with the implication that
high wages have caused the dock la
borers to drink instead of work, is
denied by ]. G. Broodbank, chairman
of the dock and warehouse committee
of the port of London authority.
Mr. Broodbank admits that the
congestion has at times been severe
since the outbreak of the war but
the Improvement toward normal con
ditions is rapid and few weeks
ought to see the wharves fairly well
cleared The real troubley/h says,
is due to the fact that the needs of
the army and navy come before those
of the merchants. Military and naval
shipments are enormous. Although
the war called away large numbers
of reservists from the docks, there
are 5000 men employed this month
as against 1000 at the same time
last year In addition. the London
port authorities have had to send
something like 1000 trained steve
dores to French ports, particularly
Havre, to help handle the military
shipping there.
To mention some of the additional
burdens that war has thrown upon
the port of London, the years sugar
supply purchased by the government
has to come through here; about $50
army transports ply in and out of the
Thames; merchant ships are diverted
to London which ordinarily are
berthed in other ports now closed for
naval reasons; and all of the various
supplies such as Australian wool
lately held up by the exploits of the
Emden. are beginning to arrive.

GERMAN ARTILLERY
COOLLY FACE FOE.
MAN GUNS UNTIL FORCE is PRAc.
'TlcALLY ELIMINATED
BY SHELLS


PETROGRAD, Feb. Tribute is
paid to the German artillerymen in
an account of minor incident dur
ing the fighting west of Warsaw.
THE Russians were on the defen-
sive, with the Germans opening up
a wide attack ON their positions. A
German battery of six guns was
moved out into the open field to
shell the Russian trenches. Very
coolly the German artillerymen went
about their work, although they must
have known that we would soon
make 1t hot for them. Our observ-
ers soon got their range and the third
shell fired from our batteries on the
left destroyed three of the German
guns, killing fully half of the entire
German force of artillerymen. The
others sought shelter but quickly
returned and brought the remaining
three guns into action against our
trenches again.
"They had only time to fire two
rounds when another shell from our
battery smashed two more guns. de-
stroying their crews, But those ar
tillerymen had been given their or
ders, and their bravery was daunt-
less. The survivors, after short
interval, returned to their single re-
naming gun, and kept it going until
another Russian shell laid it low"

A Divided Administration.

When Charles 5. Whitman made his
campaign for Governor he pledged himself
20 uphold the spirit and the law Of civil
service. The executive committee of the
Civil Service Reform Association finds
that he has redeemed this pledge through
his appointment of an able and honorable
civil service commission and the vetoing
of various bills which attacked specifically
or generally the proper carrying out OF
the merit system.
When Eugene NJ. Travis made his cam
paign for Controller he attacked MIR. Sob
mer, his Democratic opponent, for handing
over to Tammany patronage amounting to
at least $4,000 year. The Civil Service
Reform Association finds, by scrutiny Of
Mr.. Traviss appointments, that instead
Of giving the places to Murphy he has
turned over his Office to the Republican or
ganization." 1t adds that "the records OF
these appointees show that Mr.. Travis's
prediction statements were mere hypoc-
risy."
Thus the record shows an administra-
ton divided against itself-an administra-
ton on the one hand thoroughly in sym
pathy with the advancement Of a system
meant to take state jobs out Of politics, and
on the other hand fostering the time
honored method of putting politics and pol
iticians into state jobs. 1t is truly
unfortunate situation for the state. In
itself it constitutes an argument for the
short ballot scheme whereby appointed
state officials at least might be expected
to work in harmony with the ideas Of the
Executive.

Peace. as deep as the shadows in the
iunclo. ms all inclusive as the noon siesta,
has settled upon South America. 1t has
cast its spell over countries whore for
merlv a revolution occurred annually; 1t
has gripped the continent with a grip as
viso-lke. apparently, as that which Mars
has fastened on Europe. While the usually
pcaceful continent is war torn, the usually
war torn continent is peace bound. But
stranger still, it is the one reversal Of
form that has caused the other, acting
through Uncle Sam.
Mr. Preston VI. Goodwin, United States
Minister to Venezuela, has explained the
enigma. Heretofore both governmental
and revolutionary forces in the Latin re-
publics have depended upon Uncle Sam for
arms and ammunition. But to-day Ameri-
can cartridge manufacturers are so busy
shipping ammunition to Europe that they
can spare neither time nor material to
their former more humble customers. And
so for want of the stuff that kills there can
be no battles. and presidents may rule on.
And if the European war can do this to
South America, may it not in time have
the same effect on Mexico? The situation
will bear watching, even possibly watchful
waiting.

Sir: Your cartoon "The Growing Insult" is
the best picture that has been published so
far. Are we become q nation Of old women, to
sit quietly indoors drinking grape juice while
the mad dog of Europe" ps and snarls in
our midst? We have been wont to consider
ourselves as lusty young giant among the
nations of the earth, the champion Of the
weak and the refuge Of the oppressed. Have
We become so weak and degenerate that we
are unwilling or unable TO protect or even
avenge the premeditated murder of our wom-
en- and little ones? Have we sunk TO such a
depth of degradation that we are satisfied to
accept the "he-Itfelt sympathy" and perhaps
small cash indemnity from the murderers
Il is enough to cause our forefathers who
fought. bled and died that We nigh; enjoy
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happiness
to turn over in their honored graYes.
God forbid that we should be obliged to
stand before the nations OF the earth as the
one nation willing 70 accept insult and muir
der as the price of a shameful peace.
