Court OF Appeals.

Supreme Chancellor 8. w. Green
knows that the Grand Lodge, knights
OF Pythias OF Virginia put up lite
money to aid In the fight to save the
Order. 1t knows that It's protes. was
against the use OF these funds to pay
the Incidental expenses OF tho Order,
instead OF being utilized solely for
the purpose of paying the expenses Of
the suit at law and yet he makes
this misleading plea with the hope of
deceiving the knight-hood and Of plac
Ing the Grand Lodge, Knights Of Py-
thias Of Virginia in false light be
fore the Pythian people of this coun
try.
He Is also fearful less demand be
made by the several Grand Jurisdic
lions for refund OF the money that
they unlawfully paid and for the non
payment of which hundreds OF men,
bers were suspended from the Order.
All Virginia wants are her rights.
The Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia has decided the ques.
lions at Issue. The Supreme Chancellor
was evidently so upset that he mixed
up the name. of the Courts and with
the decree being sent out with
tho proclamation issued by him, he
had not read 1t sufficiently to be
| able to properly designate and name
the Court in which the cause had
been submitted for a hearing.
Certain 1t Is that the public may
be able to Judge Of tho merits Of the
case. Pythian people in this country
| want peace, we believe, but Supr., $40
Chancellor Green and his "rule or
ruin" associates want war. Tho Grand
Lodge, knights OF Pythias, N. A., S.
A., b., A., & A, Is waging a defen.
| sive contest. It is ready for peace.
1t is equally well prepared to wage
prolonged contest for the rights
| guaranteed to IL under tho laws Of
the Order and the statutes of the
| United States. AS to the cost of
the proceedings, we venture the
opinion that the Supreme Lodge will
expend at least five dollars for every
one dollar spent by the Grand Lodge,
Knights Of Pythias Of Virginia and
prove to be the final loser in the
contest. Selah!

THE STRANGE CASE OF COLONEL,
YOUNG.

The information sent out to the
press of the country that Lieutenant
Chas: Young had been ordered to Let
terman General Hospital at the Presi.
do OF San Francisco, California for
observation by army surgeons on &C.
count of alleged high blood-pressure
has been confirmed. T. has also been
established beyond question that Col.
Young does not need nor has he had
any medicine and that he has not been
sick and has not been even ailing,
but the army surgeons have alleged
that this 'high blood-pressure" un-
fits him for active service.
AS to just what the Examining
Board will decide is the question. The
possibility Of depleted ranks among
the other officers might leave this
lone but distinguished graduate from
West Point Academy in line for q
brigadier generalship. 1t Is notori-
Gus fact that there Is dearth Of Off
GERS in the United States Army. An
attempt Is now being made to sup
ply this deficiency by training men
chosen from private life, without
previous military training for the
purpose Of having them command
raw recruits.

14th and 18th Sts., N. w. for the pur.

M. G. A., was at one time student
Of the Va. Union University, and Is

The Ordination Council was com.

The Ordination Program was as fol

Attention Is called to the fact that
the farm implements manufacturers
have practically no stock on hand
and that thousands Of farmers in re-
cent years have allowed their equip
ment to deteriorate to such an extent
that many implements cannot be
used this year without repairs.
Reports show that a great shortage
in farm Implement prevails. All
factories making tractor plows are I'm
able to- meet the requirements OF
their trade. The corn acreage has
. been decreased by the shortage OF
, listers, the tool necessary to plant
p, corn in fall wheat fields. A shortage
\ OF regular corn planters is also incl
| nent. This Is occasioned by inability
to secure raw material, particularly
iron and steel productions.
The production Of implements has
been less than normal since 1913
During this period farmers have not
purchased to provide fully for their
needs. Tools in the hands of farmers
| are more nearly worn out than ever
heIore. Dealers and manufacturers
| stocks are reduced.
The increased food requirements
the normal supply of implements Is
/ necessary If the situation is met.
This condition Is accumulated by a
shortage o. labor on the farms and
| the necessity for increasing the pro
portion OF work done with machinery.
implement manufacturers are making
every endeayor to Increase their pro-
ducfion, but are actully faced with a
decreased production because Of their
inability to get material.
There are manufactured and sold
to farmers in this country yearly up.
proximately 100000 harvesters and
binders. A harvester and binder aver
age to cut 80 acres of wheat a year.
This decrease in supply OF nipple
ments would result In decreasing the
farmers harvesting ability 100000
acres
In addition to this, binders are
used for the harvesting of oats, barley
and rye, Of which there are so, 1000, 900
acres planted per year and CORE.
spending loss would be experienced dn
these crops.
There are $4,000 corn planters a
year sold in the United States. A corn
planter averages to plant 40 acres a
year. Reducing this output 25 per
cent. means reduction of 100000 acres
planted, which, according to Govern
ment reports production, for 1915
Of 28.2 bushels per acre, would mean
loss of 22,560,000 bushels of corn.
Steel manufacturers in limiting
the supplies OF materials for nipple
ment concerns, are proceeding upon
the theory that If the farmer will re
pair his worndut tools and the dealers
and manufacturers exhaust their
stocks, implement manufacturers can
supply the absolutely necessary needs
or the farm If they only operate at
30 to 75 per cent. Of their normal pro
duction. This conclusion is wrong and
unless modified will result in a seri-
GUS food shortage
Farmers tools are seasonable I'M
Elements. In many classes of work
1t Is not possible for the farmer to
lend tools to his neighbor or even to
assist his neighbor in his work.

LARGE AREAS OF GROUND LO-
GATED BY NEVADA
OPERATORS

New discoveries of rich shale
have been recently made near Pals
ade by Senator l.. r. Thatcher and
associates, who have filed on sew
eral hundred acres, and samples of
the shale have been tested by o. j.
Streeter, who obtained from so to
90 gallons of oil to the ton. This
shale came from an old shaft which
had been sunk on a deposit discov-
cred in early sixties, a few miles
north of Palisade, and at that time
it was believed the deposit was
coal. 1t is very dark in color and
resembles closely the oil shale from
Watson, Utah, and carries a high
percentage of gasoline and the resi-
due carries a high percentage of
ammonia.
The new discovery by Thatcher
and associates is probably the rich
est yet discovered in this section of
the state and yesterday Prof. Day
OF Washington, d. c., arrived here
to personally examine the new find.
Mr.. Day has been connected with
the government for several years
and is considered to be the highest
authority on shale deposits. He
left this morning for Palisade in
company with Mr.. Thatcher.
Senator Thatcher and associates
have announced that they will build
a 10O-ton plant, probably at Pali-
SADIE to handle the shale, and their
plans include a smelter at some
nearby point on the railroad, to use
the gas which comes from the treat
nent of the shale. Major Fred X.
Reed, of Boise, Idaho, who is in
terested with Senator Thatcher and
MIR. Streeter, has been here the past
week, and he is enthusiastic over
the richness of the deposits and
has gone to Idaho to raise funds
for the erection of the extraction
plant.-Elko Free Press.

scene of the fire to secure a convic.
ton on an arson charge as a result
of the fire. the damage from which
amounted to $1,000. The shoes have
been identified as the property OF

BEING HAULED

Much interest among mining men
here has been aroused by the ex-
ceptional developments made at the
large manganese field recently open
With the first carload of ore on the
platforms ready for shipment and
with a six, eight and ten-horse team
in addition to a large ore truck
now in service, the lessees, Messrs.
Gallice, Mccoy and Conner, expect
to be shipping 100 tons daily. Sew
eral prominent mining men have
visited the property in the last week
among them H. c. Jacobs of Pitts
burg, Pennsylvania. who was nego-
tiating for the purchase of the ore.
The property. which is owned by
Messrs. Mars, Edwards and Jeffer-
son Of this city, is said to be n of
the most exceptional deposits of its
kind anywhere, in that it requires
little expense in taking out the ore,
which runs from 81 to 62 per cent
manganese.
Unlike other forms of mining, the
ore, which lies in a flat bed, is be-
ing taken out similar to a rock
quarry. After the lime surface is
scraped off churn drills are used
permitting a large tonnage to he
broken daily.
The n will receive a Is per
cent royalty on the ore shipped. -
