Claim That Nation Is Handicapped Be-
cause of Inability to Converse
With Southern Neighbors.

Mrs. Percy v. Pennybacker, presi-
dent of the General Federation Of
Women's clubs, at meeting in Bos-
ton last week, said that it will never
be possible for our government to en-
ter into ideal social relations with
Mexico and other American countries
until we understand the people better.
She says that she is constantly being
surprised by the ignorance of Ameri-
can women in regard to the home life,
education, tastes and achievements of
the women Of the other Americas.
The Latin-Americans are better lin
gusts than we, she said, but only a
small percentage of them understand
English. ut was a matter of PRIDE"
she said, 'that the wife of the secre-
tary of state, Mrs. Lansing, should
have been able to welcome the dele
gates in Spanish at the recent con-
ventions in Washington, but, with this
exception, there was not a single
speaker who addressed the Latin
orleans in their own language"
She said that we are "inexcusably ar
rogant" where our foreign neighbors
are concerned. Mrs. Pennybacker
recommended that the women's clubs
study the life in all it's bearings of
the women of Mexico and South Amer
lea. She suggested that they study
the Spanish language and encourage
their children to study 1t.

STOP EATING MEAT If
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take Glass Of Salts to Clean Kid
neys If Bladder Bothers You
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause ALI
sorts Of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or II bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity: also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of rnen and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney diseasa.-Adv.

DRY MASH FOR LAYING HENS /
Composition Of Ration Recommended
by Professor Stoneburn of the
Connecticut Station.

One of the leading authorities in
the country on subjects relating to
poultry is Prof. F. H. Stoneburn of the
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment
station. BE has ration which he
calls dry mash. The tendency more
and more is towards dry feeding, even
when ground feed is given.
The dry mash recommended by Pro-
fessor Stoneburn for laying hens is
as follows: 200 pounds coarse bran,
100 pounds cornmeal, 100 pounds glu-
ten meal, 100 pounds ground oats. rs
pounds wheat middlings, rs pounds
feeding -four, 80 pounds fine beef
scraps; feed in hoppers, open at all
times.

are usually given better chance to
develop.
The cockerels should be separated
from the pullets as soon as the sex can
be readily distinguished, the most
promising chickens being saved for
breeding stock. The sex is usually
told by the development Of the head
points, tail, and general male charac-
teristics in the cockerels, and this re-
quires some skill and practice. The
chickens selected as broilers may be
forced more rapidly than those saved
for breeding stock. Quick growth can
be produced by dividing them into
1ocks of so or less and combining them
to small pens for IA to Is days before
they are marketed. Feed in the morn
ing and at noon a wet mash of six
pounds cornmeal, four pounds low
grade wheat flour, and two pounds
bran or middlings, mixed with skim
milk or buttermilk to the consistency
of oatmeal porridge. II no milk is
available, add one pound of beef scrap
to the mash, and give some green feed
daily using only enough water to make
a GRUMPY mash. In addition to either
of these mash feeds, give all the
cracked corn which the chickens will
eat, for the evening feed.
Higher prices are paid for the early
broilers, those Matched in March and
April, than for those Matched in the
late spring and early summer. Pull
let's Matched early also make the best
fall and winter layers and are the
most profitable to raise. Broilers are
marketed both alive and dressed. Con-
siderable care should be used in both
dressing and shipping 5roilers so that
they will reach the market in neat,
attractive condition.

GREEN FEEDS ARE ESSENTIAL
Yellow Corn With Clipped Alfalfa or
Sprouted Oats Puts Desired Color
in the YoIks.

Eggs with rich-co1ored golden
yolk are, from a market standpoint,
more desirable than pale-yolked egg.
Due to lack of green range feed in
the winter, such eggs are not nor
mally laid during the winter.
The secret is as follows: Yellow
corn with clipped alfalfa or sprouted
oats are winter feeds that put the
color in the yolk. Stemmy alfalfa and
clover will not do. Alfalfa and clover
sweepings from the haymow make an
excellent poultry feed.

EIKO MAN is OPENING VEIN
DISCOVERED by A
SHEEPHEARDER

j. S. Carter. one of Elko county's
best known citizens, has visions of a
yacht, an automobile and wealth ga
lore these days. and good reason
why.
Carter has large sheep interests
which have been grazing in the
neighborhood of the Ruby Noun
tains. A few days ago, n of his
sheep hearders came to him and
said: Mr.. Carter. | saw a large
r~attlesnake curled up on a ladge
OF rock and took a shot at him
Guess | hit him, because he squirm-
ed off. | went over to take a look
al him, and found this piece If
rock. Just heft it and see how

Carter held out one hand for the
piece of rock which his employe
was holding, and nearly dropped it
when he felt the weight of it. TAX
ing a sledge, he broke it open and
found it to be nearly solid lead,
that in richness if found in any
quantity, would equal, if not sur
pass, any known claim.
Manuel, where did you get this?'
queried Carter. The employee led
him over the hills and humlnocks
to a ledge which, when investi-
gated proved to be rich in lead
and silver.
Carter staked the claim almost
Immediately, and began to get out
samples which, with every stroke
of the pick, proved richer and
richer. Samples from different parts
of the ledge have been taken and
are now in the possession of the
Elko assay office, and according to
all reports, Carter has found n of
the richest lodges in the state of
Nevada and one which if worked.
will produce large dividends.
The ledge is uncovered for ID
feet on the surface, is two feet
thick and runs 76 per cent in lead
with five ounces in silver. A tun-
mel is being run in to cut the
ledge at a depth of 60 feet.
1t is the purpose of the owner
to have the claim fully developed
as he is convinced of the richness
and quantity of the ore.

SURVEY REPORTS
ON NEVADA TIN
DEPOSITS IN NORTHERN LAM
DER COUNTY SAID TO BE
VALUABLE

Tin ore has recently been found
in the extreme northern part of
Lander county, New, in an imam
ed short range of hills 20 miles
north of Battle Mountain, a town on
the Southern Pacific system. It was
discovered by chance by an en-
ployee of the Russell cattle ranch
in which the range is situated, who
had picked up from the alluvial
wash at the base of the range a
piece of curious-looking "rock."
What the substance was, however,
remained unknown until a mining
engineer who had been in Mexico
CHANGED to see it ut Battle Noun
tain and recognized it as "wood
tin," a name given to that form of
the natural oxide of tin that is
characterized by a co%ncentric band
ing resembling the annual growth
rings of wood. Search was imme-
diately made for the bedrock source
of the ore, which has already been
found at several places in a belt .
miles long.
At the request of Senator Pittman
these occurrences were recently
examined by Adolph Knopf. a geo
logist of the T.. S. Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior.
The ore occurs in narrow veinlets
in rhyolite lavas, which were eruopt-
ed in middle Tertiary time. In
places the veinlets are sufficiently
numerous to form low-grade lodes,
but because of the small develop
ment work SO far done not much
is known as to the size. extent, and
richness of these lodes. The indi-
cations of the stronger lodes. taken
in connection with their geology.
are in the opinion of Government
Their exploration.
The deposits resemble closely
those of the Mexican states of Du-
range, Zactecas. and G%uanajuto, but
are wholly unlike all other tin de-
posits, most of which are asso-
ciated with intrusive GRANTEES. Not
only has the tin ore been found in
place at a number of localities over
a considerable area, but placer tin
ore has been found in all the gulches
heading in this area, and also IN
some of those at the north end of
Shoshone Mesa, the prominent ba-
salt-capped table-land north Of Bat
tie Mountain.
The known tin-bearing belt is a
small fraction of a great area-1,jO0
square miles or mOre-in this part
of Nevada that is underlain by
rhyOlites similar to those associated
with the tin ore in northern Ian
der county. This rhyolite area eX-
tended at least as far north as the
Nevada-Idaho state line. Clearly
this area merits further attention
from the ~prospector, especially such
parts of it as have been but super
ficially examined because they are
barren of deposits of precious
metals.

Thus far appearances indicate that
it came up through a fissure from
