MEAN THIEF

Deputy Sheriff Chris Buckley last
Tuesday learned of the whereabouts
of Henry Sault and made a trip to
Wonder where he arrested the fugi.
tive bringing him back to Yerington
On being arraigned before Justice
Blanchard Thursday Sault waived ex-
animation on the charge of larceny
from the person. District Attorney
Campbell filed information in the Dis
trict Court at once and Sault who is
an intelligent man stated that he did
not want counsel, that he committed
the act and would take his punishment
and waived time to plead and time OF
sentence Judge Hart then pronounc-
ed sentence that the dependant b.
confined in the penitentiary for a
period not less than two years and
not exceeding forteen years. There
were no mitigating circumstances in
the case Saut robbed Andy Dingle
we'll known miner in Yerington OF
every cent the latter had amounting
to about $l25.00 AT the time Dingle
was intoxicated and Sault took the
money ostensibly to take care of i
while Dingle was unconscious, Leav-

he sobered up Sault filed
Since that time the officers have beer

finally located they secured him
Dingle who is one OF the best fellow
ever would have forgiven the offend

had received at the hands of sup

WEEDS ON DITCH BANKS

VOLUNTEERS AND
coNSCRIPTS

Certain things which have occurred
during the past two years should have
induced Lord Derby to withhold ex
preston of his thought that ''our
voluntary armies have proved equa
to the best conscript armies" These
things have happened in France and
Belgium, in Mesopotamia and at the
Dardaneles. They do not support
the opinion OF England's new under
secretary for war and they make OF
unIodu! snolmleIS e ,uoIsssIdx9 STU
ence towards England's allies.
England does not owe her security
to her allies, because the English navy
has been taking care of that job, but
had it not been for that adequate and
superior navy, she would have been
gravely endangered. England and
Englishmen were no more ready for
war on land when it began than is
the United States today. Her army
"pitifully small' as Emperor William
justly remarked, was scattered all
over the globe wherever there is
British possession. Nothing could be
by His Majestv's government to assist
its allies until the resources of the
country IN men and munitions could
be modified for war and that mobil-
ization has occupied two years.
Lord Derby's decription of the
British armies as voluntary would i'm
press the world as big Pickwickian
Hundreds Upon hundreds, ard thous-
ands upon thousands of Englishmen
responded nobly to the first call of
of arms but there were other thou
sands upon thousands who did not
respond and would not have respond
ed but for the threat of CONSUMPTION
True none of them were driver into
the ranks at the bayonet's point, but
many were actually driven in by
force of public sentiment Just such
conditions as President Lincoln and
his associates faced during the civil
war confronted Premier Asquith and
his fellows at the outset of the Euro
pean war. Not enough men offered
themselves and not enough would
have offered themselves except for
the pressure brought to bear.
There is no reason to believe these
conditions were due to lack of patrio-
tism any more than similar conditions
in the United States would indicate
any lack OF it. Englishmen have
been living in fools paradise for
many years, situation for which
Lord Derby and others like him wer
responsible. Fortunately the awak-
ening has not cost. England what it

your little girl at home for at least

go to parties with boys unchaperon-
ed. | don't think the modern license
allowed to boys and girls is healthy

can not dream. | know times have

girl who begins going out so much
in her school days will have lost all
the freshness of her delight in such
experiences by the time she really
ought to begin enjoying society. In
a small town, such as the one where
you live, it is easier to keep track

ALFALFA SEED
Turkestan Seed to Make Up for

able tor Humid Sections.
During the fiscal years ended juno
80, 1913, 1914 and 1915, approproxi
mately six million, five million, ant
seven million pounds, respectively,
alfalfa seed were imported, while dur.
ing the fiscal year ended 80, 1916, less
than three and onefourth million
pounds were imported.
For several years Russian Turkes-
tan has been the only country having
large surplus of seed available for
international trade, but the supply o.
seed from this source has been practi
cally shut off since the beginning
the European war, until the past W
ter when shipments were begun by the
way of the Siberian railway,
Vladivostok, and the Pacific Ocean
OF the seed imported into the United
half has been from Russian Turkes
tan, and no doubt more of this seed
will be brought in as transportation
can be arranged.
The short domestic supply of last
year, together with the decreased inn
ports, have resulted in marked in
crease in the price of seed over tina
of year ago The lack of alfalfa
seed in this country this year mus
be made up by importation, and thi,
will necessarily be largely Turkestar
seed. 1t is known that Turkestar
seed is not well adapted for genera
use in the United States and that i
is particularly undesirable for use ir
the eastern humid sections. On the
basis of its relative crop producing
capacity, the price of Turkestan seed
should be lower than that of domestic
seed, and purchasers should know
when they are buying Turkestan seed.
Conditions may often be such that
only Turkestan seed can be obtained
at the time and place where seed is
wanted, but in every instance the
purchaser should know whether he is
getting Turkestan seed or not
Turkestan seed can be distinguished
from other alfalfa seed by the pres
ence of certain characteristic weed
seeds. These seeds are usually not
numerous, but no importation Of
commercial Tui kestan seed has been
examined by the seed laboratory of the
department in which they were not
present. On account of these
characteristic weeds seeds not being
plentiful, it is always necessary, in
determining the origin Of the seed
to examine bulk of seed, and not
dpend on the examination of a small
trade sample Any one wishing TO
have alfalfa seed examined, TO deter
mine its possible Turkestan origin
should send not less than one-half
pound of seed to the Seed Laboratory

PULLAR & NIVEN
SAYS ACID STOMACH ''.
 e..- CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess of HydrochIoric Acid Sours the Food and Forms
 Gases.

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air says noted authority. He also tells us that indigestion is caused by hyper acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete ~dfgestion and starts food Fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stom- ach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which initiate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heart burn, flatulence, -brash or nausea.
 < He tells us to lay aside all diges- tive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad salts and take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and further more, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, ity, to remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. e.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodi- um phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent re- suits.
