A big Stanley steamer loaded down
with a crowd of Ashland young men
leaves Ashland every morning and
returns every evening from the Pat
terson orchard four miles and half
north of Ashland, where under the
supervision of Arthur Graham and
Paul Williams the crew is thinning
out the apples. The frost missed this
orchard. Vic Mills, who is welding
pair of thinner's clippers, says:
why, the apples are so blame thick
It's just like shearing sheep to thin
them"

AN UNPLEASANT SUBJECT.

Cruelty is always revolving. THAI
ia one reason why nice people refuse
TO discuss 1t. And so cruelty per.
sists.
But when 1t can be reckoned as q
loss to any community in dollars and
cents, cruelty becomes a suitable
topic OF conversation. Thus the
"over-cropped" chicken suddenly ap-
pears as an object OF deserved com.
mlseration.
"Over-cropped" does not mean
much to the average housewife, but
to the fowl II means torture-by
thirst and by diet OF hot pepper, grav-
el, grit and oyster shells mixed with
little bran. This stuff added 30,-
100000 pounds to the weight of the
fowls sold in New York last year, and
for II New York consumers paid ST.
100000, according to testimony
brought out in an inquiry conducted
by John ]. Dillon, commissioner OF
foods and markets.
Evidently this very unpleasant
theme is one with which every house
keeper should be conversant. A
gravel diet stops the digestion OF a
chicken, the meat is poisoned, and 1t
is then a menace TO the lives OF con-
sumers.
New York's health department and
its commissioner of foods and mar
kets have power TO revoke the
licenses OF dealers who "over-crop"
chickens, on the ground that It is a
practice detrimental to public well
fare.
Every community should have
law Of this kind, and the club women
OF any town should be able to get
such an ordinance made, very easily
and quickly, On sEOunds Of humanity,
economy apd health protection.

Talks With Screen Struck Girls

quently Of the agony Of supreme
physical effort just preceding ia
tigue. The tumbled arms and under
lip told of drunken stupor. The knot
ted cords in the naked foot gave un-
mistakable evidence Of pain. The
corners of the mouth might droop
weakly or the lips set in firm de-
termination. All of this has very
large place in motion pictures.
The imposslbility Of employing
spoken words makes it necessary to
utilize the last ounce of pantomime
expressiveness. One may get great
deal of this from the eyes, but that
is not enough. There are other parts
to be looked to as well. / have seen
hands and fingers that were the en-
bodiment OF eloquence. One of the
best death scenes / ever witnessed on
the legitimate stage was just the
hand of a drowning man showing
above the edge of the bath. Anyone
who has seen "Klsmet" must remem-
ber this particular scene. Much may
sometimes be told through the droop
OF the shoulder or the tilt Of the chin.
Since there is so much that counts,
1t is easy to understand why I should
have said two talks back that any
decided analysis of the features, best
given to screen results, is impossible.

Big Vote Against Strike

There will be no miners strike in

emphatically yesterday and last even
ing by the vote cast by the Mine
workers union and the four other
unions which are represented at the
mines. Although it was agreed not
to make public the way the vote
stood, it is understood to have been
about four against striking tc one in
favor of strike. The total mum Der
of votes cast by the miners was 1929
The ballots were cast by all the
unions, except the Mine Workers
union, in secret session.
Mine workers were beard to ex-
press themselves quite freely yester
day over the situation, and little ap.
prehension was felt about town over

Schurz Mine Is One of
the Best in the State

Reports of the most gratifying
nature continue to come from the
Yerington Mountain Copper Com
pany's property near Schurz, SAYS
the Tonopah Miner Since the time
that shipments commenced at the
mine, a gradual but steady improve
ment in values has been shown, and
the shipments. which are made by
means of teams running from the
mine to the bins at the Schurz siding
on the Southern Pacific, have oeen
regularly maintained. According to
the report issued by the company,
covering the operations during the
past few weeks, the STOPPING work
continued in the usual manner on IA
slightly better grade of ore than has
as yet been shown in the property.

ore gave assays of So per cent "op-

has attracted renewed interest
through the announcement that the
smelter at Thompson, owned by the
Gunn-Thompson interests, will be
blown in within a few weeks. This
will be a great boon to the big to the
big and little producers of that sec
tion of the state, as was proven
during the period when the smelter
was in operation. During that time
it received shipments from 90 differ
ent consignees, who made good pro-
fits even at the prices prevailing
then for copper 1t is estimated
that copper ore as low as B per cent
grade can be shipped to the Thomp-
son smelter if the mine is within
reasonable distance of railroad, and
splendn returns will be shown.
