TWO HANDS WERE JUST
ENOUGH FOR THIS BIRD

Baden-Powell, who founded the Boy
Scouts, says a soldier ought to be able
to shoot both right and left handed.
It's equally handy for ball players
to be able to pitch with either wing.
as any one who has seen one of these
rare ambidextrous birds will have to
admit.
They had n Iwo-handed twirler up at
Yale some time ago. He wasn't good
enough to make the varsity, but he be
longed TO one of the scrub teams that
played for fun and not for glory, and
went stumping around Connecticut
Saturday afternoons bucking up
against anything that happened along.
A strange opponents was Charley's
dish. He'd pitch right handed for an
inning or two, until a man got on first
and things looked a trifle black
Then the baserunners would see
Charley laZily take the ball in his left
hand, as If resting up, and would nat.
urally lead off toward second.
"Whiz! Bang" That pill would
shoot out of Charley's left over to his
first baseman, who was waiting for
the play. and the runner'd almost Ger.

The only trouble was Charley could
not work the stunt twice against the
same team, although he kept 'em pull.

TO THE PEOPLE
OF ELK0 COUNTY

The Elko County Red Cross chapter
is now actively engaged in making
hospital garments. dressings, band
ages, etc. for the benefit OF our
wounded soldiers. The only available
funds for the purchase OF material for
these supplies is one hall Of the an
nual membership dues. This amounts
to fifty cents for each member. The
chapter has already expended this en-.
tire fund in the purchus, OF material.
and the new membership applications
are so few that they do not anywhere
near meet the requirement.. 1t is.
therefore, necessary to provide some
means for raising enough money TO
enable the chapter TO keep an ample
supply of material on hand for its
regular work. We estimate that nj
least $4,000 a month is necessary for
this purpose.
The personal voluntary monthly
subscription plan has been decided
Upon as the means for raising this
money. Just as soon a. you have read
this notice make up your mind how
much you can give each month. send i

Spain Puts Embargo on
Olive Oil in Bulk

A cablegram from the American Con-
sui General at Barcelona states that
the Spanish government, by royal or
der, published July 5, prohibits until
November 10 the expectation of olive
oil, excepting fine oils exported in tins
or bottles, marks (brands) registered
before the issuance Of order and ac.
companied by a certificate as to grade.
Seville is the centre of the olive
trade in Andalusia. and during 1916
the expectation to the United States
amounted to 4,457,l6S gallons, valued
at s2,l73,O36.
The olive crops of the district have
alternating good and bad years. The
year 1914 had a poor crop of olives.
while the 1915 crop was exceptionally
good. As the 1915 crop was shipped in
1916, last years exports constituted
record for the district.
In 1915 the expectation was only
1850 ,66i gallons. valued at Sl,227 1886.
The shipments during the present year,
being the crops Of 1916, will be below
those of last year.
Owing to the good corp of olives in
1915, the shipments of olive oil during
1916 were exceptionally large. In 1915
1921 gallons Of olive oil were ex-
ported from Seville to the United States.
valued at sl96,63l. In 1916 the exports
were 449,S74 gallons. valued at S506.57s.
The shipments during 1917 will proba.

Bonds were somewhat more active
last week, and moderate improve
ment in the undertone Of the invest
ment market, as a whole, was dis
cernible. Dealers in high grade in
vestment securities reported slight
ly broader inquiry. However, the
market is still marking time, waiting
on Congress to pass the war taxa
ton measure. That and the pros
poets of more government financing
are the two restraining influences on
investments generally. The most i'm
portant development in the local bond
market was the sale Of S55, 100000
of New York City 412s. Although
the price of 100.65O7 received for the
issue was low for prime security OF
this character, and the cost to the
city for the money raised was con-
siderably higher than has been paid
in several years, the transaction was
considered successful in the light of
the recent experiences of other mu-
inequalities. With the city financing
out of the way it is believed that
there will be an increase in corporate
borrowing in the next few weeks, as
a number of concerns have held out
of the capital market pending the
New York City flotation. Bond men
said last week that the success of the
city loan might help considerably in
turning the whole investment market
for the better.

Chile Prosperous, but
Lacks Ocean Tonnage
New York Banker Says Coun-
try's Exports Are
Restricted

Chile offers great opportunities FOR
American trade, according to William
c. Lane, vice-president Of the Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, who has
just returned from trip TO that re-
public, during which he visited the
principal bankers in Valparaiso and
Santiago. The Germans in Chile, who
formerly carried on most of the busi-
ness in that country, are now doing
practically nothing owing to the re-
strictions of the war, Mr.. Lane reports.
"Chile is prosperous and has sub
stantial international trade balance in
her favor" he said. THE Chileans are
keen to increase and extend their busl-
ness with the rest of the world, but,
like all other countries at the present
time, they are handicapped by short
age Of ocean transportation facilities.
Chileans are so able and up-to-date in
all their methods that they are called
the Yankees of South America
"The country's two great interests,
copper and nitrates, are especially
prosperous. Most OF the copper and
ntrates produced are now used for war
purposes. Nitrstes enter largely into
the manufacture of explosives. The
great copper mines in Chile. in which
50 much American capital is invested,
are very large enterprises. Their ex-
portable output, however, is restricted
by lack OF sea tonnage.
"Chile is at present making a special
effort TO increase her production OF
wheat. barley. beans and cereals in
general. She is also extending as
rapidly as possible her production Of
wool, cattle and hides. The govern
ment realizes that for some years TO
come the worlds needs for food and
clothing will be great, and that any
country that has a surplus of the raw
material for their manufacture can
find ready market for them abroad.
"The government of Chile is stable
and its finances are in excellent shape.
The people are particularly proud of
their national credit. Although Chile
" highly prosperous to-day, l peleNc
she will be more so in the future
Tho industry and intelligence of the
Chilesns are qualities that make for
political good health. Unlike some
other South American countries, Chile
seems TO be entirely free from the
revolutionary microbc.

New-York tribune., 1917-07-16

During the last week reports from
Washington indicated that the next
government borrowing for war pur-
poses would come in September, when
the second instalment Of the Liberty
Loan would probably be offered. Of
ficially nothing was given out. Un-
officially it was reported that the
rate would be 312 per cent, and the
amount probably S3,0O0,OO0,OOO. The
outstanding Liberty bonds declined
on the reports, with sales as low as
80 $3.50. This was a perfectly nat
ural development, as many purchased
the first issue in expectation that the
second instalment would bear a
higher rate of interest and that the
31zs could then be converted into the
new bonds. AS matter of fact, it
row appears that the rate of interest
en- the impending issue has not yet
teen determined upon. 1t will prob
ably be decided by the general Sc
curity and money market develop
ments of the next few weeks.
New-York tribune., 1917-07-16

Stocks were under pressure toward
the end of the week after the gov
eminent made known in a general
way its attitude toward price fixing.
Professional traders sold industrial
shares heavily for a time, causing
some substantial declines. Peace
talk also contributed toward the un-
settlement of prices. A notable feat
IRE of the market was the firmness
of railway shares, which did not fol-
low the decline in the industrial de-
partment.
