WHERE THE TUNGSTEN GOES

For some months past various
brokers have been exceedingly active
in the purchase of aluminium; first
they bought scrap, and when that
stock became exhausted they began
to bid for aluminium electrical con-
ductors in position, at prices that
made it profitable to take down the
aluminium and replace it by copper
of equivalent conductivity. Lately
they have been purchasing such
stock before it has been strung If

either in service or in the warehouse,
still has any of it, either he has es-
capped the search of spectators or he
is holding it for speculation on his
own account.
Where is it all going? Present
evidence indicates that a complete
answer may be found in the chemical
liICIdluIc VI dUOut lOuI VI i've years
ago, when a French chemist an
nounced his discovery of an unusual
ly powerful explosive. which he called
"ammonal.' the name being a COM
bination of the chemical symbols of
its component parts, ammonium nj
trate and aluminium.
A letter received recently from a
German officer who was in the battle
at Loos stated that in an examination
of a position out of which the Ger
mans were driven and which they
afterward recovered. he counted
some $40 dead in a space of about
one hectare, of which less than ten
per cent showed signs of mutilation.

During 1915. 1852 horses were
shipped from Elko County, according
to the inspectors books at the Sher-
ifs office. The horses mostly were
consigned to the Allies in Europe
and netted the wner close to $780,

The County Commissioners of Elko
County have passed an ordinance pro-
viding that all dogs must be chained
in safe places Or kept in paddocks.
All dogs either muzzled or unmuzzled

Women Eligible As Jurors

Since January l the women of
Nevada. who are past 81 years of
age, are eligible as jurors. The
County Commissioners and the Coun-
ty Clerk Monday devoted some
time to selecting veniremen for the
year, says the Tonopah Times. Mr..
Pohl. who is supposed to be up to
the minute in the law, vas aware of
the fact that since the first of the
year women may be summoned to
serve on %juries, but to be absolutely
certain he decided to interview At
torney General Thatcher. who is in
Tonopah. Mr.. Thatcher ruled that
Nevada women who are of age are
now qualified to serve as jurors. So
from now on there may be a lot of
women drawn for duty in the jury
box.

SATURDAY, JANUARY %. 1916
HEAVY SNOWFALL WELCOME

The snowstorm that commenced
here Tuesday and continued inter-
mittingly until Wednesday afternoon
was something like the real old-fash-
toned kind of a storm that many old
Nevadans have missed in recent
years. On top of the snow that
have fallen since Christmas we had a
good IL inches here. and from all re-
ports received it was considerably
heavier outside the immediate vi
cinity of Eureka.
Except for the losses the deep
SHOWS and cold weather will cause a
few stockmen who are not prepared
with sufficient feed to sustain their
stock, the heavy fall of snow will be
generally welcomed and will mean
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the ranchers and stockmen of Nevada.
The many succeeding dry years that
Nevada has passed through has i'm
poverished her stock ranges, springs
and water courses, and a hearty re-
newal of the moisture given off
through the storing up on the noun
tains and in canyons of a heavy snow
fall gives assurance of a plentiful
water supply for all purposes and
should prove of general benefit.

1t will be seen that. while low in
carbohydrates, it is very rich in pro-
TEN. the nerve and muscle-feeding
ingredients. But it still contains a
large amount of oil, which forms ami
NAL fat and heat. The meal. in fact,
is so rich in protein that it is best
utilized as a food for animals when
mixed with other feed, thus fur
nishing an even balanced ration. In
comparative valuations of feeding
stuffs it has been found that cotton
seed meal exceeds cornmeal by 62
per cent. and that of wheat by 81
per cent. Thus it will be seen that
cotton seed cake. as an animal food.
has no equal.
The sheep and cattle ranges are
becoming more crowded each year,
thus making it more difficult to rea-
lie a good return on the investment.
This condition must be met by more
intensive methods. A stockman
should, by using admitted amount of
cotton seed cake, be able to realize
an increase on lambs or calves Of
from 10 to Is per cent. which would
show a handsome profit over the
cost of the feed.
The profit to be derived from q
car of cotton seed cake, based on its
comparative value as an animal food,
and on the comparative necessity
of the use of some feed in addition
to range feed. especially before
lambing season. should be one worth
looking into.
The price of the commodity f. o. b.
Eureka is about $45 per ton. 1t comes
in 100 pound sacks. which makes it
convenient to handle. Stockmen
should investigate this matter thor
oughly, as it is an opportunity to in
crease their profits materially.

COTTON SEED CAKE
An Article and Statistics Showing
the Value of This Feed to

EDITOR SENTINEL

EDITOR SENTINEL:
The history of no agricultural pro-
duct contains more of interest and
instruction for the student of eco
nomics than does that of cotton seed
in the United States. The revolu-
ton in its treatment is a real ro-
nance of industry. Experience
shows that 1000 pounds of seed are
produced for every 500 pounds OF
cotton brought to market. There
are approximately II, O0O, 900 bales
of cotton of 500 pounds each pro-
duced in the United States; on the
basis, therefore, of a cotton crop of
II, 900, 900 bales of 500 pounds each.
there are produced $500. 900 tons of
cotton seed. Of this amount there
is approximately 8, 800, 900 tons manu-
featured into cotton seed cake. the
remaining 1000, 900 tons is used in
other lines of manufacture or, for
various reasons, is not brought to
market.
Cotton seed cake or meal 1.-THE resi-
due after the oil is extracted) is one
of the most valuable of feeding stuffs,
as the following simple comparison
between it and oats and corn will

new TAX ROLL BLANKS
Tax Commission Aims To Shorten La
Dor in Proper Segregation of Tax
able Property


The State Tax Commission is pre-
pairing a new set of forms for the
use of County Assessors in prepar-
ing the tax roll for the 1916 assess
ments, and as soon as received from
the State printing office they will be
sent out to the various counties.
These blanks when filled out by
the Assessors will comprise recapit-
ulation of the property as original
ly assessed and as equalized by the
boards of commissioners. with an adj
ditional column for the final action
as taken by the State Board of Equa-
lization.
Heretofore the work of segrega-
ton of the various classes of prop
erty was left until the annual meet
ing of the Board of Equalization, re-
sulting in considerable loss of valu-
able time that could be better de-
voted to the consideration of import
ant matters.

HALLOWEEN

In accordance with a custom OF
several years standing the members
Of the College Department went out
TO the home of Doctor Raine to
celebrate Halloween. The place
for the festivities had been prepar-
ed beforehand by an efficient COM
mittee and. arriving on the scene,
the gayeties began at once. Light
was furnished by huge bonfires.
One OF the most entertaining fea-
lures of the evening was a splendid
rendition of the witch scene" in
Shakespeare's Macbeth. Games OF
various descriptions were played
and fortunes told in a very pleasing
manner by Miss Corwin. A song
by the Phi Delta quartet captivated
all who heard it. At the conclu-
sion of the program generous guam
tiles of cocoa and dough-nuts were
served. The ghost story which
Doctor Raine recited so very vividly
made the journey homeward both
weird and uncanny. The members
of the College Department are great
~ indebted TO Doctor and Mrs. Raine
for the excellent entertainment.

DOCTOR SOUTHWICK

Doctor Southwick, President of
the Emerson School of Oratory. Bos-

giving a series of Dramatic Read

and value. On Wednesday night
he rendered julius Caesar in a way
never equaled at Berea. On Thurs
day he gave the Rivals at the Thurs
day Lecture hour TO the entire Fac

were most heartily appreciated by
the immense audiences.
On Friday at 100 he gives his last
public appearance, reading Shakes

BAD TEETH AMONG SCHOOL

A recent investigation made by
the U. s. Public Health Service In
connection with studies OF rural
school children showed that 49.3
per cent had defective teeth, Eli
percent had two or more missing
teeth, and only 1919 per cent had had
dental attention. Over IL per cent
never used a tooth brush, 58.2 per
cent used one occasionally and only
pa per cent used one daily. De-
fective teeth reduce physical ell
cheney. Dirty, suppurating, snaggle-
toothed mouths are responsible for
many eases of heart disease, rheu-
matism, and other chronic affections.
The children are not responsible for
the neglected state OF their teeth.

LETTER FROM II. H. HARRISON
Superintendent Of Industries at
Oneida Institute

Dear Editor and Friends:
As read the pages Of your paper
my thots go back TO old Berea and I
long 10 be there; but here in the
mountains among the streams and
the beautiful scenery ! am content
to be. content to work and labor for
these people. No one knows the
need OF the mountains until they are
in them. and no one understands
the mountain problem until they
themselves are connected. Today
can clearly see why Berea College
has a Vocational Department and
why II is training boys and girls for
the mountains and why the need Of
leadership is so great in their COM
munities.
Here at Oneida Institute boys and
girls come from all over the county,
some Of them lin fact most of them
with not one penny 10 enter. but
willing TO work at anything TO sup
port themselves.
A few weeks ago was in Perry
County attending the school fair,
and there I found four people who
had received their education at Be-
rea College doing the work they had
been so carefully trained 10 do. On
exhibit were all kinds Of farm prod
ucts and live stock, while the fire.
side industry was we'll represented

Gus other articles that go To make

never forget. had taken a large
field Of corn from which 10 save the
fodder on the shares and made the
announcement that on this day ]
wanted men and women 10 come out
and help us save this field Of fodder.
Men were in the field at the break
OF day and soon to my surprise j
found twenty-six men at work. At
the noon hour we gathered in big
pasture and there had n real farm
ers' dinner. BY $3.50 p. m. we had
something better than 1000 binds
Of fodder pulled. tied and shocked.
Such is the cooperation OF the peo-
Pile with my farm work at Oneida
could go on and tell OF many
things that take place, but for lack
Of time must not.
October lth. 9TH and 9th we had
our Clay County Fair, and there one
could see how eager these people
are for better farming, better homes,
better roads and the betterment OF
the whole community. When I see
them so ready. so willing, il makes
me want 10 thank God for sending
me 10 this work. Would that more
people respond TO the "call OF the
mountains" | ask my friends in
Berea for their prayers that may
have more strength, more faith and
courage TO work among these peo-
pie.
