TRIES OUT MODERN
 FARMING

DUBLIN. Oct. S-That the tillage plan introduced at the beginning of the year was an unqualified success is indicated by the annual agricultur. al Statistics which the Irish depart. ment of Agriculture has just issued
 This time last year, the two remark ale features of the statistics were the unexpected decrease in the acreage of cereal and green crops, and the large increase in all kinds of live stock.
 The report for the present year tells a tale of the very opposite char acter Cereal and green crops have gone up enormously, while the live stock in every case has gone down.
 The falling off in cereals last year was about 10000 acres; this year there is an increase of 467O0O acres. The falling off in green crops last year was 22,OOO acres; this year there is an increase of 51,0OO. The total area of cereals and green crops plus flax and fruit, is now 3,338,OOO acres, an increase of 637OOO acres or 26 per cent, the largest comparative increase being in Connaught, with BPS per cent. and the smallest in Ulster, with POT per cent.
 The greatest cereal crop in Ireland is oats, which now stands at 1,464OO0 acres an increase over last year of 392,OO0. There are many possibilities as result of this remarkable expan- sion, not the least of which is the likelihood of a greatly increased To- cal manufacture of oatmeal for hu- man consumption, for which purpose some of the old windmills may be set going.
 The acreage sown with barley also shows large increase. in the face of the fact that the business of brewer ies and distilleries has been heavily restricted. A ten per cent increase in turnips, notwithstanding a decrease in cattle and sheep of over 8O,OOO head, is no doubt explained by the fact that turnips-formerly a purely fodder erop-are being increasingly used this year for human food, and have been selling for good prices.
 The potato crop has increased from $500 acres to 709,O00. This is due largely to the high prices which far mers obtained for last years crop, and the fact that they have been guar anteed a good figure for this years IcroD.

DEGREES SHORT SKIRTS
 THIS YEAR
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Oct 8. - The Paris Dress makers Syndicate Chamber the asso- citation of all the chief houses, has in formed the government. in answer to an official inquiry, that the length of wool cloth for dresses for the winter of 1917-18 will not exceed 1-2 metres, little les sthan five yeards.
 The director of one of the best known houses in Paris and London, interviewed on this decision, which seems to foreshadow the continued use of short skirts and to insure the tailor made costume as general wear, said:
 "The diminution of the length of cloth used in wool costumes has really been in effect since last season. With out any general agreement, merely un- der the pressure of necessity, dress makers had already restricted the amount used before the war by 25 per cent. Army needs, in America as we'll as France, and the diminished produc- tion in the two countries oblige us to continue along these lines. Of course We shall make no attempt to get round The Chambers decision by ordering cloth of greater width; we shall rather try to employ a mixture of ma terials, combining wool materials with silk and silk or cotton velvet.
 "The recent decision cannot affect our models for next winters gowns, for they were ready before it was reached"

POLIN BROTHERS HAVE
BIG STORE AT OATMAN

In these days of war, depression,
disaster and foreboding, it is indeed
a pleasure to be able to dwell for a
moment or two on a pleasant and
exhilirating topic.
Such a subject is the invitation ex-
tended to the public of Mohave Il
ty and vicinity to attend the grand
opening of Polin Bros. new recrea-
ton parlor and enjoyment emporium
next Saturday evening, May 5.
Starting out with the smallest bus
mess place in Oatman, POlin Bros.

to the stores of Lovin & Withers and
the Arizona stores.
They will proudly exhibit to the
public a new $4,000 fountain, pre-
sided over by DOC" Lyon, expert
soda and fancy drink mixologist,
whose prescriptions have given a
new lease of life to many hundreds
of his patients in Oatman and vi
entity.
They will also throw open to the
public the largest recreation, reading
and billiard rooms in this part of
the state, where will be found the
finest tables for playing, all the lat
est newspapers, magazines and peri
odicals absolutely free as well as a
blackboard where quotations on Dat
man stocks will be posted to date.
This department will be in charge of
C. r. King, well known to the Dat
man public.

a suitable time to congratulate them
upon their success. Always on the
Job with the goods that the public
want is the secret of their success.

BIG MINING MEN
MEET IN NORTH

MEETS IN RENO
THIS WEEK

Prominent mining men from all
sections of the state began arriving
in Reno last night to attend a meet
ing of the Nevada section of the
American Institute of Mining En-
gineers, which convened this after
noon. Phillip N. Moore, president
of the American Institute and
Bradley Stoughton, secretary of the
organization, were the principal
speakers at the meeting.
The Nevada Mine Operators asso-
citation held a meeting this morning

is growing worse every day. A con-
ped to this country some time ago
is being held up by England, and
an effort will be made to have this
released. Gov. Boyle recently wir-
ed 70 President Wilson to secure the
release of the cyanide and the mine
operators took a. similar action.
Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Stoughton
spent the morning at the university
and addressed the engineering stu
dents. This evening they will be
guests at a banquet at the River
side hotel.
Both Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Slough
ton expressed themselves as well
pleased with Reno and Nevada and
considered their visit here one of
the most enjoyable stops on their
trip through the west. Their visit
was merely one of inspection and
they are making similar visits to all
sections of the institute in the west.

ANTELOPE NINE SHIPPING

A Lovelock dispatch says that
eighteen horses, hauling four heavy
wagons and a trailer today began
hauling anthony ore into LOvelock
from tn. Antelope Spring anthony
mine, in Coal canyon, a few miles
east of here. The team is said to
be the largest ever used in hauling
ore in this vicinity, and is pulling
in the neighborhood of 20 tons a
trip.
The hauling will continue for
several weeks, until enough ore to
complete a shipment has been
brought here. Although the destin-
alton of the shipment has not been
announced, the ore is to be hauled
all the way to the Atlantic coast.
This is the first important anti
mony shipment from this part of the
state since anthony dropped in
price, when the full pressure of the
Chinese marketing combination
made itself felt in this country.
Present metal prices are said to be
opening up a number of smaller
anthony properties in this vicinity.
