Rules for Country Correspondents

One of the most valuable assets a
country weekly can have is that cooper
alton from clever and energetic county
correspondents. The news of the county
should be covered by a good correspon-
dent in every community. The brief,
newsy letters from the rural centers are

The Glacier feel like congratulating
itself on the list OF good, live news gath
erers, who each week fill many columns
with readable news of local happenings.
As far as the real gathering of the news
is concerned there could be no great i'm.
provement However, there are some
few, simple rules that could be followed
benefically. Ii country cores pondents
will observe the following, the page of
country items will be more attractive
and can be set by The Glacier without
innumerable annoyances that sometimes
arise when the rules are not observed.
Always secure, where possible, initials
of persons. Don't say Mrs. Smith and
daughters visited Mrs. Brown and fam
lily. If it is Mrs John Smith or Mrs. A.
A. Smith, designate them by their
proper initials or given name.
Always give definite dates,
Do not use abbreviations, except in
case of given names.
In case of fire, give cause, total dam
age and insurance, ii any.
Remember The Glacier sets country
correspondents on Tuesdays. Endeavor
to mail your letter, so that it will reach

Nickel In Soapmaking.

1t will probably be news to the aver
age ablutionist that the metal nickel
is used in making his soap. And fur.
ther, perhaps, he will be glad to learn
that although the nickel, finely groshd,
is mixed with the other soap ingredi
ents the finished product contains
none of it. This is 50 because the
nickel acts as what the chemists call
catalyst-that is, its presence causes
certain desirable changes to occur, al
though it takes no part in the chemi-
cal reaction. Offensive oils and those
too thin for satisfactory use when
mixed with finely divided nickel and
subjected to the action of a current
of hydrogen become deodorized and
harder and suitable for the soapmak-
ers use. Cottonseed oil, for example,
after the nickel-hydrogen treatment,
makes a satisfactory soap.-Piusburgh

A VICTORY FOR THE APPLE

If any apple grower of the Hood
River valley has been resting under
the impression that he was the produc-
er of luxury now is the time for him
to be undeceived of the erroneous opin-
ion. During the past several years
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange, by
its large appropriations for advertising
its Skookum brand, has been endeavor-
ing to tell American people that ap-
pies are health giving food. Rosie
Apple, of the Apple Growers Associa-
ton, has carried the message that
"An AppleIa Day Keeps the Doctor
Away" to many cities. Rosie Apple
has urged those beholding her crimson
cheeks to buy Hood Rivers by the box
and thus have an opportunity of learn
ing their food value. All of this ad-
vertising has had beneficial effect.
But now comes the word of Herbert
c. Hoover, the man of the hour, and
his government associates, who affirm
the message of the past years adver-
tising, and who declare that apples are
food and that railway companies will
be required to move them to market.
Apples have won the biggest victory
in their history.
Fresh apples not only have high
food value, higher than most of us
laymen have ever thought, but they
furnish the human system with certain
acids and saltssthat enable it TO make
the most of the consumption of sta
piles. The bureau of chemistry of the
national department of agriculture
gives the comparative nutritive value

and perish.
"f'or US there is but one choice. We
have made it. Wo be to the man or
group of men that seeks to stand in
our way in this day of high resolution
when every principle We hold dearest
is to be indicated and made secure
for the salvation of the nations. We
are ready to plead at the bar of his
tory, and our Flag shall wear a new
luster. Once more we shall make
good with our lives aud fortunes the
great faith to which we were born and
new glory shall shine in the face OF
our people. "

The CHAUTAUQUA

We understand that some have given
as a reason their failure to support the
chautauqua, which will begin today,
the great war in which the country is
engaged. 1t is declared that the funds
should not be spent in amusement.
This is a mistaken idea. Wholesale
entertainment at such times should be
encouraged. In fact, the British gov
ernment is going to the lengths of sub
sidizing its picture shows and places of
amusements in order that the people
may not get in rut of despondency.

That the rhinoceros once roamed

southern end of the San Joaquin val
ley, has been proved by John G. Mer-

Fossil remains of relatives of this
great beast have been found in the
Thousand Greek and Rattlesnake pill
ocene deposits of northern Nevada
and Oregon, and in the pilocene de-
posits near Pinole, in the San Fran

with this rhinoceros now have been
found small vestiges of a mastodon,

ent extinct species of ancestors of the
horse, including a photohippus and
three or more different species of the
little horse known as neohipparion.

BULLION TAXES

1t costs an enormous sum to run

and needs funds badly. Every county
in the State, with one or two excep-
tions, is in debt, and many have an
Indebtedness that would make this
county's appear as a drop in the
bucket" But Nye's Indebtedness is
big enough at that When yesterday
mornings Times came out with the
announcement that the accountants
employed by the grand jury to audit
the county's books had found that the
sum of $290,517.70 was due from
Tonopah mining companies in unpaid
pah sat up, rubbed their eyes and
wondered if it could be true that
such vast sum was actually due the
county. They began hoping-to a
mani that, if there is no mistake
about it, the county gets the money.
They talked of lower taxes, paying off
the county debt, etc.
The accountants report shows that
nearly 100000 is due the county and
State from the Tonopah Belmont De-
velopment Company and the Tonopah
Mining Company. The thing to do is
to get the money. The grand jury
has recommended that, in the event
of suit, the best legal talent obtain

companies never go into court with

counsel that money can secure The
companies accused of defrauding the
county out of all this money are not
likely to meekly hand over this money
to the county; that would be an adj
mission of guilt. The county will
have to fight for it in the courts. The
suit will probably cover a period OF
several months, possibly years. The
money is not being held out to the
officials on silver platter.
From the report it appears that the
accused companies will have lot Of
explaining to do. There are two sides
to every question. as everyone knows.

panies will make will be awaited with
interest by every taxpayer in Nve
