Why do your COWS give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not sup
ply them with grasses and green
food. But we have come to the
assistance of Dame Nature with

which conrains the very ingre-
'dients that the green feed supplies
in season, only, of course, in a

will make your COWS give more
milk, and better milk, with the
same feed.

"Gl0RIA'S ROMANCE At
AMERICAN THEATRE TONIGHT

II is a popular impression that film
actors go through the various scenes
in which they appear in silence, act
ing in pantomime alone; or else that
they talk at random. Sometimes, per-
haps, this is true; but there, is one
actor, at least, who does not believe
in this method, and his name is Frank
McGlynn.
In that scene in Chapter 10 of 'Glo-
ria's Romance" the great George
Kleine motion-picture novel in which
Billie Burke is appearing tonight at
the American theatre. McGlynn, as
Trask, the wounded bargeman, feels
that he cannot live much longer, and
begs to be taken to Gloria that he
NAV confess it was he who murdered
Freneau, her lover. McGlynn went
through that scene as if he was living
it, He invented dialogue on the spur
of the moment, and his rich and pow
erful voice fairly quivered, so great
was his emotion as he began to re-
late to Gloria the wrath he expert
onced when he learned tnat tTenedu
had deserted his daughter. McGlynn's
acting became so powerful as the
scene proceeded that camera men al
most forgot to keep the film turning;
and other members of the cast, who
were not in the scene. gathered about
the "set," their interest aroused to
fever heat as Trask unfolded his
gruesome story to Billie Burke.
Harry Watson, for instance, the
famous "Musty Suffer" of the Kleine
comedies, stopped work on his own
production in neighboring set and
came over to where the "Gloria's Ro-
nance" company was at work to see
what was going on. Altogether, that
scene was quite a triumph for Nc
Glynn.

WHITEWASH COAT
FOR HENDRICK
Especial to The Silver state)

tSpeclal TO The Silver State)
RENO, Nevada, March 1.-The re-
port of the legislative committee to
investigate the University of Nevada,
filed this morning at Carson City, in
dorses President Hendrick. The re-
port affirms the fact that financial af-
fairs have been laxly administered
for four years at the University, al
though the money accounts are all
right 1t declares the new members
of the board of regents acted consci-
entiously in demanding the resign
ton of President Hendrick, but says
the qualifications of Abel and Baker
as candidates were doubtful, in view
of prediction pledge, alleged 20
have been given, to remove Hendrick;
and Curler is criticized for agreeing
TO the investigation and then, without
such investigation, voting with the
majority in favor of demanding the
resignation of Hendrick.
Further, the report says President
Hendrick should not have been dis
missed without a hearing; says he
was not guilty of pernicious political
activity. and his visits to Carson City
and to Washington were under orders
of the board of regents. The report
also carries a recommendation to the
effect that the board of regents of the
State University should be elected for
ten years. only one new regent to be
elected every two years.

HEAVY PRODUCTION
ROCHESTER MINES

The production of the Rochester
Mines Company from January i 20
February 21, when the mill was shut
down because the railroad could not
operate during the stormy weather,
was $4,000, says a Rochester special
to the Reno Gazette.
The drifts north and south in raise
159 on the 250-foot level have been
advanced during the past week in
good ore, and the new stope above
the 650-foot level north is opening up
nice grade of milling ore. The
drifts north and south on the SO0-foot
level are both in good ore, and the
mine in general is said by the super
intendent to be looking exceptionally
we'll.
Owing to the traffic blockade IN
Utah the tramway material has not
arrived, but it is expected in a few
days.
On the Rochester Combined Mines
Company development work is
showing good results. According to
superintendent Wilkey, the supposed
footwall encountered several days
ago was merely a rib or slip in the
vein, and as soon as this slip was
penetrated a better grade of ore was
encountered.
"The vein is now eighty feet and
there is no sign of the footwall yet, .
says Mr.. Wilkie.
"The assays across the eighty feet
go all the way from six to forty
ounces in silver. We are running a
drift in this vein which is in twenty
six feet, and from the crosscut and
this drift we have extracted 260 tons
of ore which averages eighteen
ounces silver and .02 ounce of gold.

OAKLAND CANDIDATES FOR
CITIZENSHIP ARE SHREWD

That the modern candidate for nat
uralization for citizenship in these
United States is making shrewd de-
ductions for himself is being shown
In Superior Judge ogden's court at
Oakland every Friday. when answers
to quizes often elicit merriment, not
untinged with wonder. Some of the
questions and answers during the
last few weeks have been:
What are the duties of the Supreme
Court?
To reverse the decisions Of the
lower courts.
What are the duties of the Presi-
dent?
To lay down the laws for Congress
to pass.
Who appropriates moneys for pub
lie works?
The trusts.
What are the duties of the Vice
President?
To wait till the President gets shot.
What are the functions of a Presi-
Dental Cabinet?
To obey the orders of the President.
What should the legislative depart
ment Of the government do?
Obey the laws.
What are the functions of the At
torney-General?
To persecute the trusts.
THE candidates for citizenship
nowadays keep well up to the times, "
comments Judge ogden. Sometimes
they even get a little ahead. They
are no longer illiterate. Sometimes
they are a bit too well read"
