WILSON HAS SIXTH SENSE

New York, Jan. 11,-President VIII
son possesses the new villa psy-
Geological discovery for which he is
given credit today by Charles Gray
Shaw, professor of philisiphy at New
York university The new will, ac-
cordng to Professor Shaw, turns in
ward upon the brain instead of passing
out thru hand or tongue. Colonel
Roosevelt knows nothing about the
new will the professor said, and there
fore President Wilson seems weak
and vacillating to him, but this Is all
because r. h. has a primitive mind.

Believing that money derived from
the charge of 5 cents for an extra
service of butter to patrons. recon-
mended by the food administration
committee to conserve butter, should
not properly belong to the restaur-
ant man, George Rawlins of the Big
Meadow cafe. in Lovelock, has insti-
tuted the custom of dropping the
extra five cents into a box for Red
Cross donations. This unique idea
was called to the attention of State

Some RuleS Adopted
BY NHyadS Hotel Men

The following resolution. printed
copies of which are being made for
use of restaurant and hotel men of
the State. were adopted in Reno last
week, according to tic Gazette:
After November 10, five cent
charge will be made for extra butter
service. The object is to save but
ter, not to make more profit.
"The service of porterhouse and
T-bone steaks is discontinued. This
prevents a large waste of meat.
"No meat will be served on Tues
day hereafter. This does not include
poultry. game, fish or byproducts of
beef or mutton.
ION Wednesdays hereafter nothing
will be served that is made of white
wheat flour.
Use as little white bread and
sugar as possible. What is saved
goes to the boys at the 'front.'"

HOOVER GETTING RESULTS

New York Post: We now see the
need of revising critism directed at
the food controller. In every bellig-
erent country the task which has
fallen to Mr.. Hoover has proved diff
cult and thankless one. 1t is not
only from the plain citizen that COM
plants have come about the failure
of -four and bread prices to decline
Immediately upon the fixing of a
minimum wheat price. The profes-
sional and partisan Hoover baiters
have cried out bitterly against the
imposition of minimum prices on
the farmer to the benefit only of
the middleman. But the CONNER
cial price lists show that flour
which was selling a month ago at
$13.25 a barrel was selling yes
terday at $11.5O. This is still LIS
above the price of year ago, but
already half the distance from last
months prices to last years prices
has been covered. The decline in
-four prices reinforced by the plan
for the standardized loaf which is
soon to be put into effect will bring
back the five-cent loaf. 1t is not to
be supposed that the efforts of a
food controller can ever approach
the ideal. But the evidences of pro-
gress are 80 unmistakable that only
the partisan to whom facts are a
minor production will continue to
sneer at Mr.. Hoover's failure to get
results"

Breaks Right Leg
Cranking His Gar

With his right leg broken from
cranking his car, Arthur De La Vega,
auto driver of Gold Circle. laid out
all night on the Gold Circle Golconda
road Wednesday night. kept from
freezing by the almost heroic efforts
Of his only passenger, Mrs. Alice
Thompson. who kept a sagebrush
fire going all night.
Just as darkness was coming on the
engine stopped, and in cranking it
the engine kicked" and the crank
handle struck him on the leg.
In vain the two of them tried to
get the car started, and finally Mrs.
Thompson took the robes from the
car and made a bed on the ground
for the man and gathered sagebrush
and made fire for him. All night
long she rustled wood and kept the
fire going, which was a hard task for
woman working with her bare
hands, and in the dark. But she made
the man comfortable and soon after
daylight an auto came along and took
them on into Golconda. De La Vega
was taken to Winnemucca next day
and placed in the county hospital.
