Weighed and delivered in Reno.
The receipts of hogs during the past
two months have been very disap-
pointing, both in number and quality
There is undoubtedly a very substan-
tial profit in feeding hogs at the pres.
ent market for grain and hogs.
There is considerable stress being
laid on the desire of the food COM
mission to increase the number OF
hogs to be fattened during the next
season. II is safe to say that prices
will be higher, and we would urge
that all breeders add as many sows
TO their herd as they possibly can.
If every hog breeder in the state
would add two sows ii would un-
doubtedly mean. during the year, an
enormous increase in the number OF
marketable hogs, assuming that they
would secure two litters from each
SOW during the year with an average
of five pigs each.
There are an enormous number OF
farmers in the state who are not rails
ing hogs at all If each would secure
two sows for breeding it would not
be long before Nevada would take her
place among the other Western States
who are not only supplying their own
requirements, but shipping 10 the
Eastern centers of population.
The market on fat steers still cou-
tinues weak. with the top at INC for
No. steers and &c for No. 2 steers.
Fat COWS are available in large sup
ply at &c and 614c for top and 5l2c q

The wool market is on thoroughly
sound foundation with producing sec
tions well cleaned up. The govern
ment has apparently released options
on Eastern woods and has gone inGc

Their buying and yaluing committed
are highly organized and apparently
securing wool at very reasonable
prices, considering what was paid IN
the primary market.
The present market on wool deliv-
cred. secured and sold on the Atlantic
seaboard is about as follows :

Ample Work For All.

No class of citizens are reaping SC
much from the war as the laboring
element. Everybody who wants tc
work can find plenty to do. The
building of huge environments, the
construction of ships and other nee
essary working plans associated with
the raising of an army of 100000
men, all demand labor service. Con-
tracts for all these national enter
prises are taken at high prices, and
therefore labor is paid the most it
has ever received. In ordinary times
the daily wage now paid on Govern
ment work would be regarded as
exhorbitant. Now nothing is thought
of from four to six dollars day
when two to two and half dollars
would have been liberal in ordinary
times.
Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton, and way had to be found to
do all the great work demanded in
the situation. Certainly America has
set the world notable example in
the organized speed with which she
has gone about the task of preparing
for and getting into the war. The
results so far are truly wonderful
almost amazing.

The Navy OUerrrOWded.

The announcement by Secretary
Daniels that there is an overplus of
enlistments in the American navy
brings up an interesting question, and
yet of some difficulty in trying to ex-
plain it.
No average man wants to go head
long into war. Life is sweet to
every one us. The navy at this time
offers the lure of holding the mini
mum of chances for actual conflict
for the reason that there are nc
fleets to fight. The danger of g
great naval battle in this war ii
which a slaughtering of men coulc
take place is reduced to the minimum
So, as long as ships do not sink, OF
do not run afoul of submarines CT
mines, a member of the navy i.
rendering service to the country witt
the least personal hazard in it. The
wonder of it is that there has MOI
been a greater navy enlistment. But
less than 100000 have VOLUNTEERED
for the navy and more than 1,000,OOt
for the army. This shows that il
time of war the fear of death or in
jury scarcely enters into the equasion
1t is a strange fascination that wal
offers to the human imagination
None understands it. Perhaps, after
all, it is the consciousness that sci
fishness does not bring happiness, an(
that service is life's greatest bless
ing.

Meaning of House Cleaning.

While the Honorable Joseph A.
Brohel is now once more regular"
in the Republican ranks he at one
time advocated "house cleaning" in
his own party in Bergen County.
In an election for County Collector
he ran far enough ahead to win out.
That was enough. He is making a
good officer, too, because he has the
qualifications for the post.
Mr.. Brohels thoughts on "house
cleaning" is a good one. 1t would fit
in anywhere where one set of politi-
clans have too long held sway. In
domestic work if there were not
weekly house cleanings things would
soon go to rack and ruin. House
cleaning is one of the necessities of
correct, sanitary living. So in poll
tics. A house cleaning is often de-
manded because the public can see
that it is demanded. The dust of
inattention accumulates, spots of in
difference appear, and the furniture
of administration gets out of place
till the whole shebang loses all sense
of proportion and order. That's why
political house cleanings are essen
tial. That's why they take place.
Our public servants are no exceptions
to the rule of needing attention.

DO Bosses Exist :?

Joseph Brohel, County Collector,
let loose large-sized bomb this week
in which he undertakes to explain
away the reason for certain attacks
upon the regulars" in the Republi-
can County organization. Some two
years ago, Mr.. Brohel admits he went
before the public and advocated a
''house cleaning" and now that all
this took place as desired, he is salts
fed. He still believes in the organi-
cation, and there is no denying it's
power. That is what organization
in the County Committee is for
power. If it does not exert itself,
its mission is hopeless.
But the question of politics" in
county affairs is an important issue
at this time. Two of Bergen's big
gest men, Surrogate Sibbald and
Director William p Eagen of the
Board of Freeholders, one a Demo-
crat, the other a Republican, have
come out strongly in favor of the
independent stand. Mr.. Sibbald is
supported by both parties in the pri-
maries; and Mr.. Eagen is working
tooth and nail for two independent
candidates, Coe and Dater, both run
ming for Freebooter, and each Repub-
lican. In addition Mr.. Eagen is lead
ing an Independent municipal citi-
zens ticket in Tenaf1y.
1t is a case of you pay your money
and take your choice. There doubt
less isn't any real bossism prowling
around, but the process of debating
certain policies indicates that some
things are down that are not popular

America Worlds WOykshOp.

1t is not difficult to view the future
with much hope and promise fol-
America. The war has opened ur
vast opportunities for US. 1t has en-
larged our vision and increased oul
scope.
But it has also developed that
with so many men under arms the
business men of the country have a
tremendous responsibility and duty
to perform. While our great armies
are organizing here, and when they
get to fighting in Europe, it will re-
main for those at home to so advance
and guard our business interests and
to so build and increase our COM
mercial defenses and conserve our
advantages, that when peace is won
we shall be able to absorb the re-
turning multitudes from the front
and again become the worlds busiest
workshop.
After the war Europe will have to
be rebuilt and replenished, and we
shall be the one great source of sup
ply for the wants of a continent in
the great reconstruction period which
will be years in passing. We shall
in this task be buster than ever be-
fore. The wreckage will not clear it.
self away without American aid
And perhaps we shall face another
possible condition, the desire of sew
eral hundred thousand American sol
diers wanting to remain in Europe
to aid in the rebuilding there.
The nations of the earth are today
demanding more than we can supply
in the face of so much that is sent
to the bottom by the U-boats. After
the war we must be taxed to the ut
termost.
All this brings to mind that there
can be no "slackers" at home. The
merchant and the manufacturer at
home must ego over the top" with
the same fighting spirit that inspires
the boys in France.

IS H ~ IS IS Is Is
The Lure of The Sea.

The lure of the sea is one of the
strange destinations of mankind
Ever since boyhood we have read OF
this inexplainable tendency of men
to desire sea life. The war has de-
veloped many peculiar instances
proving the almost impossible thing
of sailors giving up their calling.
One would naturally believe that a
seaman who has been upon ship
blown up by a German submarine,
and escaped with his life would
be through with the sea. But
the opposite is true. They all want
to get back into sea harness again.
A peculiar instance is recently re-
lated of several hundred seaman who
were discharged because of their long
years of loyal, faithful service. They
had gone through many trials and
some shipwrecks. 1t would seem the
most natural thing in the world that
they should want to retire. What
happened was that ga out of 100 of
the discharged men actually reen-
listed.
The nature of man is to be courag-
eous. Perhaps cowardice is acquired
from environment or teaching. 1t is
natural for many not to fear death;
those who actually fear it have been
taught or influenced fear it. But
they give up every other occupation
more readily than sea service. The
call of the sea is more alluring than
the land, and it cannot be explained
except that it's silent influences bears
upon it's pillows strange awe that
is boundless in it's suggestion of
eternity, and it's mute appeal is sort
of magnetism no one can understand
If we attempt to account for it, one
must consider something else than
mere courage. Bravery has nothing
to do with it. The psychology of it
may make US think, but we can never
understand.

HON. FRANK M. MURPHY Whose death yesterday ended of the remarkable careers in the record of the great southwest.

that time, enabled him to take a much bigger place in the life of his con- munity and State when he returned, than that of mere merchant.
 Mining claimed his first interest outside of his own business in the city. He was associated with Sen ator W. A. Clark on the occasion of the purchase of the United Verde mine. Later, he induced Diamond Joe Reynolds, d millionaire investor, who had become disgustcd with some crooked mining deals in the Brad shaws, to buy the Congress mine. Tue purchase of that property was the un- deriving cause of the construction oi a north and south railway through Arizona.
 Reynolds died before thc railroad project was complete. lis death, which occurred in the arms of his friend Frank Murphy al Congress, and the trip 10 Prescott through country cut by floods, is a romantic story oi itself. \t any rate, Murphy contiu- ned to be convinced that to open properly the rich mineral d;#ric; around Congress, il would be uCycs- sary to have a railroad, and 90. hc associated himself with soro rrs ally prominent 6nancicrs and in 1893, built the road from Ash Fc-'. 10 Tres colt and in the following two years, completed the line south to rlacuiV. With him in this venture were D. M. Ferry, the man whose name k found on about 5O per cent of the pachagcs of garden and flower seeds sold in the United States: Simon ]. Murphy, Michigan millionaire and relative: Arms, of Ohio: Fairbanks, the packer and others.
 This road was later sold to inc Santa Fc, and on inc organization of the Santa Fc, Prescott X PhoculN Railway Co, Murphy was named prcsidcut-which office Inc hs- held ever since.
 Other railroads and other mines were built and dug by Murphy, his genius for organizing and his amazing
