A GREAT PICTURE
TOMORROW NIGHT

The second episode of The Re.
treat of the Germans at the Battle of
Arras" will be produced at the Brad
ley Opera House tomorrow night. This
picture was TO have been produced
last night but it failed TO arrive on
schedule time and The Message OF
the Mouse" was substituted. The last
named is a siX-reel production and as
it was one of the best pictures ever
shown here the big crowd was not
disappointed.
The Retreat of the Germans" is a
great war picture that should be seen
by everyone. II gives a better idea of
war conditions in Europe than could
possibly be given by word or pen. In
the taking of these pictures it is said
that no less than forty men lost their
lives. The camera men were right
in the midst of scenes of greatest ac
tivity.
On Monday night the great war pic
ture. The Stacker" will be pro
duced. This picture like THE Retreat
of the Germans" are warmly praised
by the press and the public.

PARTIAL REPORT
OF GRAND JURY
CONTINUED from rage one)

temptation the erection Iof IA new
graduation as the present institution
is a disgrace to Elko county.
In financing the expenditure neces-
sarily involved in the erection of such
hospital your Grand Jury would rec
ommend that instead of calling an
election and issuing the bonds OF the
county to raise the necessary expens-
es, recourse be had to the provisions
of the Budget Act OF 1917 which per
mits, in case of emergency, the issu-
ance of promissory notes OF the coun-
ty, or short time bonds. 1t is under.
stood that the contemplated eXpendi-
ture would be about seventy.fiye thou
sand dollars. Under the Budget Act
the loan must be repaid within two
and one-half years. A ten cent levy
for two years and five cent levy for
the third year will produce about
| eighty-five thousand dollars.
BY the adoption Of this plan OF fin
ancing the new hospital, the expense
of a special election and the interest
on the long time bonds will be saved
so that eventually the hospital will
be financed. and the loan paid of
within short time, at great saving
of expense. There can be no doubt
that a new hospital Is necessary, and
that upon presentation OF the present
condition of affairs, the said board
of revenue would have no hesitancy
in approving an emergency loan for
the purpose indicated.
The Grand Jury finds that since the
states OF Utah and Idaho have adopted
prohibition numerous saloons have
sprung up in Elko county near the
borders OF those states. Many OF
these are so situated that they can
only be for the purpose of enabling
citizens OF those state to procure IL
quor in Nevada and thus evade the
prohibition laws OF sister states. This
is infiicting n moral. If not a legal
wrong upon the people OF those com
monwealths. After considerable dis
cussion of this matter with the liquor
boards, the Grand Jury Is of the opin-
ion that il will recommend the said
LIQUOR board that the licenses already
granted to such border saloons be not
revoked, but that upon the expiration
thereof, that the same be not renewed,
as IL Is manifest from the situation of
many of these saloons that they are
conducted solely for the purpose of
inflicting injury upon our sister and
neighboring states.
This is only partial report of the
Grand Jury and 1t is not to be under.
stood as a final report. Your Grand
| Jury desires to be continued in office
for n longer period for the reason that
| IL has not yet fully completed its in
| vestigations. and for the further rea
son that If, in a certain action now
pending in the supreme court OF the
State of Nevada, II shall be determin
| ed that the statutes under which com
| plants have been heretofore flleC
against county officers are unconstitu
tional, the Grand Jury will be in {
position to take direct action by In
dictment. as deemed necessary.
Very respectfully submitted.

ALLIES WARNED OF GREAT
TEUTON ARMY GATHERING
To Be Greater and Better Equipped
Than Ever Before Says Speaker
in French Papers.

Paris, March 29.-The governments
bill providing for the calling out Of
the 1918 class recruits provoked a
lengthy debate in the Chamber Of
Deputies and a frank explanation by
the new minister of war, Paul Pain
leve, on the conditions confronting the
Allies. ''It would be puerile to con-
slider the German retreat as renun-
ciation," said the minister. "The re-
treat is evidently rather by reason Of
the force of the Anglo-French armies
and the prudence of their co-ordina-
ton than because of the weakening
of the German army. 1t is proof of
the necessity of their bringing togeth-
er their military energies. Germany
is assembling an army greater numer
ically and more solidly equipped thai
ever before

BANKS RESOURCES IS BILLION
NEW HIGH RECORD REVEALS u. S.
AS WORLDS RICHEST NATION.
Assets of National Banks Now Exceed
Those of Similar Institutions of
Ten Nations.

Washington, March 20. - American
rational banks have set a new high
record for resources, again revealing
the United States as incomparably thu
richest nation in the world.
Comptroller Williams announces
that on March 5, the date of the last
bank call, the assets of the national
banks aggregated more than $4,000,
100000, exceeding the combined re
sources of the Bank of England, the
Bank of France, the Bank of Italy
the Bank of Spain, the Bank of Nor
way, the Bank Of Sweden, the Swiss
National bank, the National Bank OF
Denmark, the Bank of Japan and the
Reichsbank of Germany
The resources of these banks March
were $210,000,000 larger than ever
before in their history.
AS the total resources of all nation
al banks on April 4, 1913, amounted
to only $11,081, 100000, the increase
of resources for the past four years
has amounted to approximately S.,
000,000,000.
The amount of bonds of foreign gov
ernments and Of other foreign secu1i
ties held by national banks on March
5 was approximately 1888, 100000, OF
but little more than 2 per cent OF
their total resources.

Pneumatic Tires for Hiking Shoes.

Taking his inspiration from automo-
bile tires, and going the ordinary rub
Der heel one better, Oscar Musslnan
Of New York city has invented a pneu-
matte tire for his own shoes. the
"tire" differs very decidedly from the
ordinary heels In that partition OF
rubber Is built in 1t half way up its
thickness. The partition thus forms
an air chamber with the bottom of the
leather above it, and still another one
with the ground when the heel comes
down upon it, explains the Popular
Science Monthly. Each of these two
chambers is connected with the out
side air by small opening. When the
heel strikes the ground, the air in the
chambers becomes slightly compressed,
causing the jolt Of the walking to be
very greatly cushioned in manner
very much similar to that in which the
automobile tire cushions the jolts OF
riding. To prevent the air from be-
coming too suddenly compressed and
so putting the bottom of the heels out
of shape, the air is allowed to escape
slowly through the openings.

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS
s-s-s...s....e..-s-s-s-...-.-.....~.~.-.

You say to the drug store man,
"Giye me a small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
Callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone

his wholesale drug house for you.-adv

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CAhIADIAnLAnD
Americans Are Buyers and Be.
coming SettIers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there will
be large influx Of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For O. time
there has been falling off, on account
of the fear of CONSUMPTION, which Of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case it would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having it's influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out of one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. FL. Beatty Of
Nant0n, Alberta, had $40 bushels Of
wheat from II acres or an average Of
b63@ bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney e. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels of wheat, the average being
b21s bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
SEf6 haH al 90 41 %o ho
acre from q field Of % acres, w.
Quinn of Milk River had 1904 bushels
Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
OF so bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry Of NObleford makes affida-
Wit that he had an average Of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from
field Of 1903 acres. ThOs. Boulton Of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had a yield Of fifty three
bushels of wheat per acre. Newell J.
Mobiles affidavit of getting "a bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 122 bushels and 30 lbs. per
acre from 39469 acres. Mrs. Nancy
COe makes affidavit that on her farm
Mt Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels Of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or f1fty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from a fax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
BS pounds per acre.
It cannot be said that these were
freak yields because SO many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that will cause large influx Of Amer
an farmers into the Canadian West
curing the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
tOba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
