Gets Into Trouble

Golden West hotel, was placed under
arrest Monday afternoon for selling
malt liquors on election day in viola
tnon of section 92 of the election
laws, says the Carson Appeal.
Sheriff Sterne happened into the
hotel and saw some lines of empty
beer glasses on the lunch counter,
and also saw the barkeener in the act
of drawing beer The sheriff secur-
ed the glasses the beer was being
drawn into as evidence. A complaint
was drawn up Tuesday by the district
attorney and Anderson will have to
defend the charge in court. Anderson
contends that he is within the law, as

WOOE BRINGS
FAIR PRICE
H. A. Pitts, Representing Boston
Firm, Buys Jensen Clip for
22% Cents per Pound.

The freight team belonging to the
Douglas Milling company arrived from
Smith Valley yesterday noon, loaded
with fifty bags of wool belonging to
A. Jensen. II. A. Pitts representing
Boston wool firm, was present when
the wool. arrived and succeeding in
buying the lot for 225s cent per
pound After the deal was closed the
wool was taken to the Minden depot
for shipment to Boston.
1t is probable that by holding the
wool a short time, little better price
could have been secured by Mr.. Jen-
sen, but the price metioned above was
quite satisfactory to him.
Other shipments of wool from the
southern section will now begin to
arrive. While some of the southern
clip is being SHIPPED from Smith VAL
ley over the Copper Belt road, con-
siderable amount of the spring clip is
to be routed this way.

Weather Forecast
For Month of MAY

On the May weather Rev. Father
Ricard says in the Sunspot for May:
Fine weather will prevail with a
general lack of moisture. Fear is en-
tertained that the actual dry condi-
tion will persist to the detriment of
surface crops. Most of our storms will
drift eastward from British Columbia
straight on until they curve to the
southeastward to impart generous
rains to the prairie states.
1T is reckoned that a strong cool
wave of short duration will fall on
this coast on May II, to be followed
on May 16 by the most remarkable
storm of the month Another storm
due to the same cause, will land on
May 23rd, and still another on May
10Th"

TRUCK LINE
MAKING GOOD
Freight and Passenger Business
Being Accorded Pioneer
Line to Bridgeport

A. F. Scott reports that his truck
line, recently established between
Minden and Bridgeport. is receiving
a fair amount of patronage and things
point to busy summer. II requires
about nine hours to make the trip to
Bridgeport and the truck walks
right along when loaded to its full
capacity. Besides hauling freight the
truck is being well patronized with
passengers and as high as twelve peo-
pie have been hauled at single trip.
1t the cheapest and quickest means of
transportation now obtainable by the
people OF Mono county.
1t is quite possible that an auto
stage line will soon be established be-
tween Reaches and Aurora, connect
ing with the Scott truck.
The truck line is great conven-
ience to the people of the southern
section and is being literally patro-
nized by them.

can maintain anything this side Of
chaos, or ever restore order.
One Of the grave possibilities is
that the sending Of an American ex-
petition into the country may
arouse such feeling as to bring down
popular hostility on both Carrsnza
and our troops. There has been
report that Carranza could not con-
troll his troops for any effective CO.
operation with the United States.
Certainly there has been no such CO.
operation.
The one course that may save the
day 10 vigorous, direct, indubitable
policy to going through with the
task in hand. II Carranza should
scuttle, II his forces should disinte-
CRATE, II military commanders should
divide, and various groups Of them
array themselves In support Of var
ious programs, there would be no
getting the American forces out of
the country honorsbly. It would be
absolutely necessary to send moro

guess what proportions the cam

OUR BAD NATIONAL HABITS

As attention 10 turned to prepared
ness, 1t becomes apparent that there
is an outstanding psychological phase
in the issue. At first glance one is
too apt to conclude that the absence
Of national defense measures is
synonymous with pacificist senti-
ment. But nearly every gathering
Of an economic or scientific charac-
ter discloses that lack of prepared
ness Is characteristic of this country.
For example take the warning
sounded by DR.. Allerton S. Cushman,
before the American Institute Of Elec-
trical Engineers, regarding the lack
Of preparedness to feed our own peo-
pie. Consumers Of food are increas-
ing and producers decreasing, farm
animals are decreasing in number,
the titled acreage is falling in pro-
portion to those to be fed; we have
been backward in developing means
to insure fertilization of our soil.
All these things have little to do
wieh war. Similar admonitions are
heard from the Government itself,
from the Department Of Commerce
particularly, about our failure to
take advantage Of commercial OPP
portunities. The cutting off of medi-
cal and chemical supplies from Eu-
rope demonstrates how unprepared
we are to take care Of this phase
Of our own needs.
Not only in the matter of war
but in respect to other forms OF
conservation, to our assurance Of flu.
ture welfare and progress, is oui
state Of mind going to have deer
and lasting effect.
The same sort o. loose thinking
or failure to think, Of carelessness
and trusting to fate, is responsible
for our failure to prepare for war
not any high ideals of international
brotherhood or devotion to pacificism
When the awakening comes this atti'
tude of mind will be put in the cate,

TnR DANCER OF STRIKES

The threat Of a transportation tie
up by reason Of n strike has not
passed. The anthracite miners may
drop their tools and quit. At Pitts
burgh large group Of Industrial es-
Establishments have been crippled or
shut down because of a walkout of
their workers. Some Of the textile
regions are facing like troubles, and
there are menacing conditions in
other industries.
May-day is at hand, with the pos
sibility that it will be marked by the
Inauguration Of a number Of labor
disturbances. II would be peculiarly
unfortunate il such a development
should take place. The cool heads
of the country realize that there is
much of the temporary and artificial
in our present prosperity. It may
or may not continue after the war.
REIMBURSEMENT to peace conditions
will be difficult; how difficult, no
man dares to guess. Every conces-
sion ought to be made. by leaders of
labor and leaders Of industry, to
keep the country on an even keel in
such a time. There is need to
recognize that certain very unusual
conditions obtain.
The present moment Is one in
which leadership is greatly needed;
a leadership that will recognize
these conditions, and that will pos
sess influence enough to get a hear.

been greatly advantaged by reason
Of the preponderance Of support that
Irishmen have given IL.
Along with these little wars scat
tered around the world, Britain has
faced the necessity of acting as
banker TO the allies. Her credit has
been joined with that Of France in
the great Anglo-French bond issue
in this country. Great advances
have been made to other countries.
Italy's army Is understood practice
ally to be fed by Britain; Portugal
will be a fiscal protege Of the British
treasury, and Belgium has been a
steady drain on the country's re-
sources.
Condemnation of Britain for fail
ing to do It's part In the war does not
recognize these difficulties. It is
now thoroughly established that
Germany had long been plotting to
tie Britain's hands when the crisis
should come. Irish disaffection had
been fostered and financed from Ger
many. The Indian revolt had been
planned with the utmost care, long
In advance. German leaders pre-
tend that they did not dream Of
trouble with England. They have
made pitifully plain that IL they had
realized in advance that England
would do, would be able to do, as she
has done, there would have been no
war. So they devote themselves to
the national business Of hating Eng
land; when In fact they had been
plotting to weaken, handicap, and
counteract Britain's power, and
merely suffered the disappointment
Of complete failure.
