show that during that period Nevada
was second only to Montana in the
production of silver. the mines Of this
statet urning out over seven million
dollars worth of that metal. In the
production of gold, Nevada ranked
fourth with a total production worth
over nine million dollars. On a per

The director OF minis clings to the
belief that Nevada will lead the entire
United States next year in the produc-

opinion that most OF the long.aban.

Asked as to what figure silver would
reach the director refused TO commit

WHATEVER you WANT TO KNOW"

Boston is planning to pass an en-
tire week without eating white bread.
Why should persons be asked to re-
frain from eating bread made from
white flour while the white flour
lasts? 1t will be time enough to eat
other kinds of bread when we can't
get the kind we want. A real econ
omy and possibly benefit to the gen.
eral health would result from utilizing
the entire grain of the wheat in the
making of flour. but there can be no
economy of food in eating one kind of
bread TO the exclusion of another. Are
Americans expected to deny them
selves wheat bread in order that our
allies may eat it? Why not let the
French and English eat bread made
of corn or rye? Since the beginning
of the war the people of the United
States have shown capacity for as
Stimulating buncombe hitherto unbe-
Hevable. The activities of the busy
bodies show nc signs of letting up.

His Ruin.
II young wives were never jealous
And If husbands all were true.
And If pampered sons were jealous
In their work and saving, too:
And if marriage had no bitches
Nor the least of stress strife
And the bellies who wed for riches
Never lived a loveless life
If all wealthy men were kindly
And not rascals, cruel well,
And Ii widows never blindly
Put their saving in a Sell.
And IL heroes, pure and youthful,

Never fell in an untruthful
And deceitful woman's snare;
If all loves the vampires sever
Baby pleadings might restore,
And the erring wife was never
Driven harshly from the door
Then the world would be much brighter,
Fairer far would be our lots,
But how sad would be the writer

Great OacapOn.
Great Cacapon consists of a church,
a general store and about fourteen
houses scattered over the shoulder of
a lenient hill. Around one side of the
hill comes the upper Potomac, clear
and riffledy. shaded by big sycamores.
On the other side of the hill Great
Cacapon creek emerges from q pretty
valley, lined with ripening crops and
edged by wooded hills. 1t Is a typical
bit of the mountain country Of West
its beauty. and for the reason that
years have not changed it much.
Mountains everywhere seem to be
barriers to progress; their walled in
valleys seem designed to guard bits
of the earth from time and change.
The Great Cacapon has not been
harnessed to run mills, no cities have
sprung up along its banks. The near
est thing to a sign of industry that you
can discover along its shaded banks is
still and expectant angler for the
wary small mouth bass.
This bit of country must be much
the same today as it was when George
Washington, as a youth OF IL, sur
veyed it for Lord Fairfax. For all
of the tremendous domain which Yves
granted to him by the English crown.
1t has gradually been broken up into
numerous small holdings, but its de-
scent is shown in the names there
about of both the places and the peo-
pie. Sir Johns run for example. is
