What To Do With Your Wheat

Those who bought wheat to
plant but could not do so because
of the dry CONDITION of the soil
until the recent rains can well
afford to still put in their grain
realizing that there is some
chance to lose part of it by win
ter killing in the northern part
Of the state while this is sup
posed to be about the right time
under normal conditions to SOW
wheat in central and southern
Arkansas" says G. W, Watson.
Late sown wheat will undoubted-
ly pay even though we 10 not con.
slider the yield to be obtained
next year because it will keep
the soil fertility from teaching
this winter and it will supply
green manure to be turned uL-
der next spring as we'll as winter
pasture. To avoid unnecessary
risk, plant the grain on medium
to rich soil we'll drained, as this
will help hasten growth. The
same recommendations could be
made for rye; this is also val
liable crop.

On their return last night the
men who drove t. .-iay car from

such slow time was made on the
trip.
Near Jackson mountain the heavy
car entered a lake caused by a re-

ate it from the mud.
Water rose " e the cushions and
covered the engine. which stopped,
and the men had to push the car
to the edge of the lake. There they
worked for another hour to adjust
the carburetor and start the engine.
Actual running time to Bishop
was three hours and 20 minutes.

RECRUITING FOR
NATIONAL ARMY
RECRUITING OFFICER KOYLE
WANTS MEN FOR QUAR-
TERMASTER CORPS

Recruiting Officer Koyle of the
Tonopah station was in Goldfield
this afternoon for a short time and
returned to Tonopah. From there
he will go TO Manhattan and eX-
poets to return here for several
days in the latter part of this week.
He has Just received a circular
letter from the a department au-
thorizing the enlistment of 1000
men for the quartermaster corps,
national army. The duties in this
corps are not military in any way,
in fact men in this corps usually
follow the same vocation as they
follow in civil life. The opportuni-
ties are exceptional, as about 40 per
cen are non-commissioned officers.
The field artillery of the regular
army is also in need of several mel
to fill this branch to war strength.
1t is difficult to determine just
how long these opportunities will be
open, but it is more or less certain
that two weeks will see both bran
ches of the service filled.

DISTRICT BOARD
NOW IN SESSION
IMPORTANT WORK BEFORE
MEN NOW MEETING IN
RENO

j.. K. Turner, who represents the
mining interests of the state on the
district exemption board of Nevada,
left Sunday morning for Reno,
where the board went into session
today.
1t is believed there is consider
able work to be accomplished by
the board as the final arbiter of
disputed exemption claims filed
from all parts of the state, but it
expects to dispose of the business
in plenty of time to permit the first
camps during the first week in Sep
TENDER.
The district board passes on ap-
peals taken by district attorneys in
all cases where dependents are
claimed. The draft law states that
each claim on this ground shall be
appealed. In addition to this, the
board arbitrates appeals taken by
district attorneys in cases where
that official believes men who have
been exempted by local boards for
other than dependent claims have
been exempted in error.
Claims made by men who have
been denied exemption for any "a
o and, particularly, claims of men
who ask exemption owing to their
occupations. will also be examined
by the board.
Many people believe that the dis
trict board only passes on occu-
p~ational claims. but it will be seen
that a large portion, practically all.
of the claims made throughout the
state will pass before the members.
The board consists of Judge S. S.
Downer of Reno, chairman; j.. X.
Turner of Goldfield, Walter Cole of
Sparks, John l. Cazier of Wells and
DR.. f. l.. Huffaker of Carson. r.
Mckay of Carson is secretary OF

years of age and Hughes is a Young
man. Mcdonald claims he struck

GREENWOOD LEASE
HAS GOOD STRIKE
ORE OF SHIPPING GRADE Is
EXPOSED IN PRO-
PERTY

One of the best strikes made in
the Phoebe mines in a good many
years, was reported in the Green
wood lease this week. In reality
the find was made nearly two
weeks ago, when a good showing
of ore was uncovered about so feet
off from the Amalgamated shaft on
the 4O0-foot level.
The management has been fol-
lowing this ore; which, a few days
ago, made into a great body of
high grade shipping material, carry
ing values in lead. silver and gold.
At this writing the face shows a full
breast of this high grade material.
With the few men working in
this part of the mine, about 10
tons of this fine shipping ore is be-
ing broken per shift.
Over at the Greenwood proper,
he new compressor recently pur-
chased, has been installed and will
be placed in commission today, so
that in the future the work will
proceed more rapidly on this end.
1t is said hat the A~malgamated
Phoebe management will likely take
early steps to drive from the 1900
level to catch a continuance of this
ore body.-Pioche Record.

SAMPLER MAY BE
MOVED TO SALT LAKE

Ore shippers of Utah who have
been watching closely the operation
of the Jean Sampler since it began
operation, and who SEN a repre-
sentative to inspect the plant some
time ago., have made the company
a proposition to move the plant to
Salt Lake valley and to increase it's
tonnage to 600 tons per day. These
shippers agree to guarantee a speci-
fled tonnage and the Sampling com
pany is seriously considering the
matter at this time. J. B. Jenson,
local manager and the inventor and
patentee of the automatic sampIing
machines and the sample mixers,
has been summoned to Salt Lake
for conference. These machines are
coming to be recognized as the most
accurate eve designed, and two
large operators. one at East st.
Louis, and one in Montana have
each made application for the use
of the machines in their plants

WORK RESUMED ON
P|OCHE PROPERTY
NEW INTEREST in REGION Is
CAUSED BY LATE
STRIKE

H. M. Landsdowne, who was an
active figure in Phoebe mining cir
cles about nine or ten years ago
arrived in the city Monday from the
east and Immediately began laying
plans for the resumption IF activi-
ties at the Phoebe Mines property
located about two miles north OF
town.
The scarsity of labor in camp.
however, is interfering with his
progress; nevertheless he hopes to
have things moving shortly, thus
adding another live mine to the Gre
dit of this camp. With the Phoebe
Mines, Ely Valley and Tulloch pro-
perties in commission, and leasers
at work at the Phoebe Metals, the
east side of the Ely range is a k
ing on the appearance Of old-times.
The recent strike at the Green
wood lease is creating new interest
and will probably lead to the Amel-
gamated Phoebe widening the scope
of it's operations in the near future.

PEOPLE OF j. s..
FINANCING WAR
MONEY IS RETURNED TO PUB
LIC POCKET WITHOUT II
ANY LOSS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 20
The United States is financing it
self in his war by loans and taxes.
1t obtains funds from the people,
some by taxation and some by the
sale of bonds, and then it goes into
the market and buys from the peo-
ple what it needs. The people sup
DIV the government with money
and the government with its
money buys from the people what
it needs for the a
There are three sources from
which the United States can
the sinews of war. First is the
fixed property of the nation. This
represents our farms, factories,
mines, railways and all other pro-
perty including accumulated saw
ings. From the corpus or body OF
none of these, except the accumula-
ted savings, will the government
obtain war funds, and even from
the accumulated savings 1t Will
draw a relatively small portion.
These accumulated savings are
invested in industries and business
which are necessary to the country's
welfare and prosperity and 1t Is only
that portion of these savings which
are seeking investment that the
government will receive in exchange
for bonds.
The second and the great source
from which the government Is to
derive it's war fund is the wealth
produced during the war. Part OF
this it will obtain by taxation and
part in exchange for bonds. The
annual production of the United
States from it's farms, mines, fac
tories, and other sources, amounts
to fifty billion dollars a year and
out of this fifty billion dollars
will come the funds, part from taxes
and part from the sale of bonds,
with which the United States will
finance itself during this war.
BY taxation this generation will
pay it's portion of the cost of the
war. By the sale of bonds the next
generation is called upon to pay its
portion, and this last portion will
be paid from the wealth production
after the war.
BY this method the capital OF the
country, it's sources of income and
wealth, are unimpaired. l. IS OniV

erty that is called upon to bear a
portion of the cost of the war. Thus
despite the waste of war and the
destruction of property involved the
country may emerge from the con\

cient and even weather. than be-
fore.
What the government receives '
receives from the people without
impairing the sources of wealth of
the country, and passes it back to
auctions of the country. 1t is in
a way only a shifting of credits.
The government collects the cur
rent taxes and by near of bonds
anticipates taxes of the Years to
come, and all the money thus ac-
CURED passes back into the hands
of the taxpayers. This is why gov
ernments which follow sound eco
homie methods not only are not
impoverished by wars but some
times emerge the stron ger as Eng
