Albert Ingalls,. general manager
Of the New York Central lines was
present and told OF the great dihi-
culties under which the railroads
are now operating. He pointed out
that owing 10 the great shortage Of
labor throughout the country, it
would be practically impossible for
the railroad company TO complete
the work except at great length Of
time, and by creating a condition in
South Bend in relation 10 traffic that
would be far more dangerous than
at present.
Charles Fassnacht. representing
the Indiana Lumber Co. said that
the directors OF his company met
yesterday afternoon and had voted
that now would be an inopportune
time to push the project on account
OF the war. and he urged that the
work be delayed until some time in
the future.
George Witwer, representing the
Studebaker corporation. urged that
the project be put of.

ment expressed by the two previous
speakers. He urged that the present

der the direction Of John S. Botd-
uer, county agricultural agent, and
w Y. Fell. government agricultural
expert for the making OF prepare
tions for the collection of seed corn

Alr. Bordner in a statement yes

The corn which is available even
AS short q time ago as a month is
absolutely useless nov, due 20 the
excessive damp weather, and it has
become necessary for this county 20
double up IT'S efforts in order that

IL IS old corn that We are after and

one who has any disable corn TO get

have offered 20 provide drying
rooms for the corn If il becomes
necessary but the important thing
Just now is 10 find out where the
available seed is
Mr.. Fell and Mr. Bordner ex-
planned how they thought this i'm
portant work could be accomplish
cd With the help OF the local men
they think il will be possible to go
into all parts Of the country and
inspect the cornfields. They hope to
list the well matured fields and
then publish the names OF men who
have this seed so that other farm
crs who do not have seed may
know where 70 get H.
II is urged that where farmers
DO not have seed that they arrange
10 get il as soon as possible since
very few men are equipped for stor
ing a very large amount. Farmers
who have seed should not be asked

Indiana Seed Crop Small.
&
crop estimates Of the L. s. depart
ment OF agriculture shows that not
more than 90 percent OF the In
diana crop OF corn is suitable for
seed. In other words. only 10000
600 bushels Of the 200, OOO. 900 crop
can be used for seed purposes. This
means that many farms from some
counties show that they will have
very little or no seed With this CON
ditiou existing in Indiana and other
1niddlewestern states farmers of this
county must act at once if they are
going 20 have seed corn for the 1918
crop.

SKILLED LABORERS
REQUIRED IN ARMY
GOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR
CAPABLE WORKERS TO
SERVE COUNTRY

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. s.
american skilled laborers were re-
sponsible to a high degree for the
success of the recent British drive In
Flanders" said Lieutenant Colonel
John H. Gardner, recruiting officer
at $50 Market street.
American skilled labor construct
ed those railway lines close up be-
hind the British lines, thus making
possible the concentration of forces
before Cambria.
1.-The success of the American ex
peditionary forces in France depends
almost entirely upon the ingenuity
of American skilled labor in the
building of railways, speedy trans
p~ortation of troops, of supplies and
of big guns.
"At this time there are opportuni-
ties for men of technical, mechan-
ical and varied industrial experience
in the army. Uncle Sam is in urgent
need of their services. And they
should respond"

AS part of this council, assisting
and cooperating with the national

consisting of one member-the citi-
zen himself.
1t becomes his duty to save, to la

AUSTR|ANS NOT TO
Be DEPRIVED
> OF WORK
STATE OFFICIALS GIVE ASSUR-
ANCE THEY WILL BE
EMPLOYED

RENO, New, Dec. Sin view OF
the probability that war will be de-
clared upon Austria, the state coun-
ell of defense is taking immediate
steps to allay any feeling of unrest
among Austrian subjects in Nevada,
to counterfeit suggestions that have
been made that they will be thrown
u of employment.
Austrian subjects within the state
will not be thrown out of work by
a declaration of war against Aus
trik. Austrians who keep their
mouths shut and obey the laws of
the United States and of the state
Of Nevada have nothing to fear.
They will be given work as before
aDC undoubtedly the government
regulations will be so framed that
little inconvenience and no hard
ships will result from the situation.
The state council of defense is al
ready making plans and outlining
regulations to the mine operators of
the state that will permit the Aus
TRANS to be kept at work.

GOLD MT. is
NOW ACTIVE

Another big cash deal was made
in the Gold Mountain district this
week when Branch H. Smith, super
intendent of the Monarch Pittsburgh,
purchased a large block of Gold
Mountain Nevada Development stock
which he had optioned prior to the
publicity of the big strike in the
Divide.
The Gold Mountain Nevada Devel-
opment company's estate comprises
three claims lying in a westerly di-
rection from the big strike and upon
which three distinct veins can be
traced for a considerable distance.
One of these veins is distinctly a
silver vein showing the heavy black
sulphides very similar in character
to those recently opened in the To-
nopah Divide.
This showing occurs in the bot
tom of a shallow prospect shaft and
as Mr.. Smith had advance informa-
ton concerning the character of ore
opened il the big strike, 1t is as
ssaned that this similarity OF ore
lsed him to lose no time in taking
over the mentioned stock.
N. NJ. Mccormick and Chas. L..
Richards, both business men and
residents of Tonopah, own control
of this property and contemplate the
sinking of a shaft just as soon as
plans can be perfected.-Tonopah

STORY OF SPEEDY
WORK

1t is believed by many people that
a record for speed that members OF
the local chapter of the Red Cross
will shoot at for some time before
equalling was established on the
fifth of this month, when Mrs. r. l..
Morgan, wife of the steward in the
Elks' club, turned over to Ike Bair

regulation length; helmet and long
and short wr~istlets, knitted in four
days, seven hours and As minutes,
the elapsed time between the hour
Mrs. Morgan was given the yarn and
when the finished articles were pro-
duced.
Bair is authority fer the story and
he says that at 1915 p. m. on Dec.
l he gave to Mrs. Morgan seven
skeins of wool and that at s o'clock
on the evening of the fifth she pre-
sented him the finished articles. On
the morning of the sixth Bair ship

Maurice now in the national army
at Camp Mills, Hampstead, l.. l.,
New York.
The record was made as a result
of BARS statement that he wanted
to send a set to his brother and
Mrs. Morgan then agreed to do the
knitting If he would provide the
yarn.
1t is said that the best previous
time on a set of this kind was from
IA to 16 days, SO 1t is evident that
Mrs. Morgan slept little in estab-
fishing the record.
When asked regarding the quality
of the articles Bair and others who
saw them described them as beau
