INDIAN MOTHERS
FIND BOYS BODIES

The dead bodies of Willie Sioux and
Raymond Dave, the two Indian boys
who disappeared last Wednesday even
ing, were found buried in the gravel
pit near the Southern Pacific stock
yards, on the east side of town, about
5 o'clock last evening. Ever since the
disappearance of the boys Indians
have been searching for them and last
evening the mothers of the boys, Jen-
ME Hardy and Maggie Dave, who were
accompanied by Golconda Mamie, fol.
lowed what they believed to be the
boys tracks to the gravel pit They
noticed a swarm of flies buzzing
around certain place and stencil
assailed their nostrils. They began to
dig away the loose earth and found
the bodies of the boys cold in death
Coroner Dunn was notified and he
had the bodies removed to Ayers un.
dertaking parlors. This forenoon a
coroners inquest was held over the re
mains, the jury finding that the boys
came TO their deaths from suffocation
Evidently the boys had been diging
into the loose gravel when the higt
bank above them caved away and they
were buried beneath the heavy mass
of loose earth.
Both boys were born in Winnemuc
ca. While Sioux was about II years
of age and a-son of Max Sioux, Ray

APH0RlSMS OF GREAT MAN
Trite Sayings Of Napoleon Have Been
Collected and Classified, and Are
Worth Attention.

Among the Frenchmen who have
contributed to gnomic literature is Ma
poleon: "Adversity is the midwife Of
genius" Love is folly committed by
two" 1T is Imagination which loses
battles" "A good philosopher makes
q bad citizen" 1.-The man the least
free is the man bound to party" These
and several hundred other of his truths
and half-truths were collected and
classified by Jules Bertaut. They have
been translated by III. E. Law and G.
L. Rhoades as Napoleon: In His
Own Words" The collection does not
pretend to be complete nor to add any
thing new, but 1t Is sufficient to mirror
the man Of action In a striking way.
The aphOrisms, Of course, lack con-
sistency and continuity, because Ma
poleon had no profound moral convic-
tions. He was no philosopher nor
publicist seeking to mold events by
political reason. He was a man of ac-
tiOn, who spoke for the immediate ef-
feet which his words might accomplish
"a Roman Catholic in France and a
Mohammedan in Egypt. "Simpletons
talk Of the past, wise men Of the pres
ent, and fools of the future" The
translations are good, but many q read

ter and verse cited; for half the sig

sales and purchases of cotton from the
time it leaves the farmers hands un-
til it reaches these larger markets
also shall be conducted on the basis
of the standards. 1t is believed that
the presence of a set Of the practical
forms in each county, where farmers
may examine and become familiar with
them, will be valuable educative
force in grading and will tend to bring
about the substitution of methods of
more exact classification in place of
the approximations to grades now
often employed In gin, street and ware
house sales.
With the forms Of the standards In
easy reach for examination and COM
parison and the published reports of
grade prices in the nearest important
spot market available through daily
papers, it should be possible for grow
ers to arrive at a reasonably close val
uation of a given grade Of cotton. 1t
Is expected that some county agents
will figure the local valuations from
day to day for the different grades, TAX
ing into consideration the cost of han
ding cotton to the nearby spot mar
ket, and will bulletin the figures. The
office of markets and rural Organiza-
ton will furnish such county agents
from time to time quotations on the
various official grades from the near
est important spot market, as well as
from all the spot markets designated
under the Cotton Futures Act.

Miner Sets on Blast

A blast In the Shattuck mine In
Arizona, set for the purpose Of bring
ing down ore, was responsible for the
discovery Of a remarkable cavern, now
known as Shattuck Cave, which has
yielded unusual mineral specimens,
some Of the finest Of which have been

a great opening that reached farther
than his light could penetrate. Look
ing upward, he could see tiny lights
flashing, and, in the belief that they
were stars, he ran back to the shaft
and declared that he had blasted
hole clear through the surface.
On investigating the mine Official
found that the blast had opened
great circular cavern 345 feet in diam
eter and IT'S feet high, which seemed
like piece of fairyland. On the roof.
myriads Of crystals reflected the liekts
from the miners lamp. The walls, /the
roof and the floor were covered with
great clusters of crystals, and near the
center of the cavern a mass of 3talac-
tites. 40 feet long, hung from the cell
ing like great chandelier.
For the most part the crystals were
pure white, but in places where the
filtering waters had contained iron and

Of the Dairy Division in United States
(Farmers' Bulletin 556), furnishes II
good reasons why every farmer should
have silo. Everyone of them touches
some spot of vital Importance:
Twelve SiIo Reasons.
1. More feed can be stored in a CIV
en- space in the form of silage than in
the form Of fodder or hay.
2. There is a smaller loss Of food
material when crop is made into 81
lage, than when cured as fodder or
hay.
3. Corn silage is better feed than
corn fodder.
4. An acre Of corn can be placed In
the silo at less cost than the same area
can be husked and shredded.
5. Crops can be put in the silo dur
ing weather that could not be utilized
in making hay or curing fodder.
6. More stock can be kept on a CIV
en- area of land when silage is the
basis of the ration.
z. There is less waste in feeding ST.
lage than in feeding fodder. Good 81
lage properly fed is all consumed.
8. Silage is very palatable.
9. Silage, like other succulent feeds,
has a beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest and best
form in which succulent feed can
be provided for winter use.
IL. Silage can be used for supple
menting pasture more economically
than can soiling crops, because it re-
quires less labor, and silage is more
palatable.
II. Converting the corn crop into 81
lage cleans the land and leaves 1t ready
for another crop.

Shin Pollen Of Plants.

The shipment Of whole plants for
breeding or experimental purposes,
with the attendant danger of carrying
plant diseases and insect pests. can be
obviated In many cases by shipping
only the pollen from such plants. Pol
len from citrus trees has been sent In
cold storage from Florida to California
and recently a shipment was success
fully made from Washington, d. c., to
Japan. The anthers were sealed In
glass tubes from which the air was
exhausted. Some of the tubes after
the exhaustion Of the air were dried
with sulphuric acid.
