ther.
Through the courtesy of P. II. Cook
superintendent of the Nevada Copper
Belt. number of families were sup
piled with coal during the cold snal
last week when there was none left
either in Yerington or Mason. Had
it not been for the energy and cour
tesy of the company number o.
boarding houses at the different mines
would have been compelled to close
down, thus temporarily throwing a
number of men out of work.
Mr.. A. +. Arlington, representing
the Outcalt Advertising Company OF
New York, was in Yerington Thurs,
day. Mr.. Arrington's mission was to
instruct local advertisers how to pre-
sent their wares to the public in the
most attractive form. The company
he represents was organized by the
cartoonist whose portrayal of the es
capades of Buster Brown and Tige
for the past generation, have shared
the popularity of Mother Goose.

"On to Odessa"

THE battle cry of the Teuton armies as they
1 drive the Russians before them out OF
Galicia is, ION to Odessa" This cry unfolds
the strategy of the German general staff to
capture the great Russian Black Sea port city
of Odessa. This proclaimed drive at Odessa
may be n feint at this time, but it has here
tofore been one Of the known features OF the
plan of the general staff. If the Germans are
now strong enough to persist in, and 1t should
succeed or seriously threaten success, Russia
will very likely be forced to her knees and
be compelled to sue for q separate peace with
the central powers. The Russian armies have
been almost completely expelled from Ga
licia; the republics troops are retreating pell-
NELL across B~ukowina, and the northern part
OF Moldavia Is threatened. From the Russian
Roum lnian frontier (Moldavian line) the dis
lance to Odessa is less than $50 miles at the
nearest point.
The fall Of Odessa would be a far harder
blow to Russia than the capture Of Petrograd,
for Odessa is Russia's great grain storage
house. 1t is the Minneapolis of the new re-
public. The principal grain celds Of Russia
are within this territory, and there are now
200, 900, 900 bushels of freshly garnered wheat
in the elevators and mills Of Odessa. The
capture OF this grain by the Germans or its
destruction, would paralyze and starve North
ern Russia. 1t would be one of the greatest
calamities OF the war for the worlds democ-
Gle III tHe present CnaOJ1C conditions pre-
vailing in Russia, these vast stores OF food
could not be removed. Besides, Odessa is a
city of over 100000 Inhabitants, and its cap
ture would be the greatest prize that is pos
sible for Germany to take In this war. It
would give the central powers complete con-
troll of the Black Sea and fasten their grip
still tighter on the Balkans. Germany would
build a line Of frontier from the Baltic to the
Black Sea, driving Russia further back into
the East.
1t does not now seem probable that Ger
many has the man power and strength to
take Odessa, but the Russian government at
Petrograd has been so undermined by Ger
man gold and treason and the troops at tho
front SO infected that the opportunity to
capture Odessa may be offered to the Teu-
tons. The presence Of a traitor suspect in
the Russian Cabinet has thrown the whole
government at Petrograd. into confusion
worse COMPOUNDED. If Russia cannot soon
pull herself together and checkmate the Teu-
tons and the food heart Of the republic falls.
the war may be prolonged for years. What
ever happens in Russia, the western democ-
racies will never conclude a truce with Pots
dam.

The Milk supply.

70 tho Editor OF Tho Timcs-Dispatch:
Sir,-Probably few OF your readers
have worried their heads about the milk
supply and tho serious problems tina
are worrying the producer OH the farm
and the distributor in the city. Very
things on the farm are getting serious,
and that continued neglect nay result
In further slaughter of dairy cows
which would mean a more serious milk
famine than we havo got to face any
way. We are going to run short Of
milk; OF that there is no shadow Of .
doubt. The slaughter OF dairy cows has
owing TO the tremendous price Of feed,
and the shortage of help and the fact
that the butcher is willing TO pay every
cent that a COW Is worth 70 get her hlde
and tallow. This loss canno be made
III. for years: because the farmer cam
milk that viii bring 25 eents to
80 cents n gallon. The dairyman
can sell his cows, mis- extra teams,
tools. and all his feed. and plant his
whole place down In wheat and make
more money than he ever saw before.
Under present conditions only force of
habit Will keep a man In the milk bust
for him. he has been SO used to a
steady. exactinE life for 30 long that
shouidering 4 rifle and seeing the world
would be a vacation In comparison.
Cost of production has doubled. Cost
OF distribution has doubled, II not
more than doubled. Unless prices go
up In proportion there w,ll be nc milk;
never go In the siio TO make a doll
lars worth OF milk. Where is Mr.
Hoover?

Look for q moment at one or two of the
features Of the revised war revenue bill re-
ported to the Senate. 1t proposes to raise
$2,006, $4,000 per year, tho greatest sum by
far any country ever dreamed Of raising by
taxes in one year. 1t is more money than
both Great Britain and France are raising
by taxes for the war. More than 81, 600 .000,-
600 of this sum will come from incomes
alone, but no income of 81 600 for an un-
married person or $4,000 for a married per-
son will be touched and the big incomes will
not be unduly taxed. The bill taxes war
profits $500, 900 900. These profits will be
calculated ON the excess over the average for
the three years preceding the war. The bill
drops the retroactive income tax scheme and
increases the stamp tax on financial paper
and drops the tax on gas and lights. The
bill is pronounced a masterpiece of justice
and fairness" in taxation.

Our Next Governor.

IN their choice of Westmoreland Davis for
l Governor OF the Commonwealth, the vot-
es have selected a stanch upholder Of the
fundamental principles OF Democracy. His
triumph plainly signifies that the voters Of
the State objected to prohibition as an issue
i'll the contest, that question having been
settled by direct vote of the people and ap-
proved as a fixed policy. The defeat of the
two worthy gentlemen who contested with
him for the nomination. implied no lack of
confidence in their ability or appreciation
Of their intelligent and patriotic public SER
vices, but rather finds explanation in the
fact. as stated above. that the electorate
deemed it the part Of wisdom to thrust dead
issues back where they belong and turn to
the solution of vital problems affecting the
future of the State.
Now, let US all get down to brass tacks,
SO to speak. and putting our shoulders to the
wheel, push Virginia to tho front as one of
the first and most progressive among the
sisterhood of States in every activity that
conduces to its own welfare and the welfare
OF the nation.

Dining out has been a favorite extrava-
gance OF many American families. If there
were not enough invitations from hospitable
friends to relieve the monotony Of dinner at
nome, the Loteis and cafes were always open
to those who felt that they must escape. But
IL the action OF the hotel and restaurant men
In conference with MIR. Hoover becomes effec-
tive, the charm Of high-priccd meals, Of
shaded lights, of palln-conccaled music and
solicitous funkies may be destroyed. These
conspirators have agreed TO serve 10 per cent
less four-made bread, no butter at all. un-
less specifically demanded, no toast as garni-
ture. no beef On given days, no veal or lamb
or sucking pigs, nothing that is fried that
can be stewed Or praised, and that stale
products be sterilized and reserved. ANY,
Dody VINO could enjoy that sort Of a meal in
competition with one cooked his own way
and composed Of the ~victuals of his own
choosing, excites our pity, if not our distrust
OF his intelligence.

A certain group Of sufragettes who were
outraged by the tactics used in silent sen
tineling the White House have now pro-
posed to picket the pickets. They would dis
play tanners as scornful Of their sisters as
the pickets' banners are scornful of the Presi-
dent and the government Of the United
States. This. no doubt, occurs TO the new
suffrage outfit as a clever idea, but, speaking
from the standpoint of the common folks
Of the country, We ask why should a null
sance be compounded? The fact that one
group of foolish women insist upon nagging
President Wilson is no reason why another
group should aid in advertising tho fact. For
two weeks the pickets have been completely
ignored, just as they should have been from
the beginning. Another weeks experience of
this sort probably will end the whole affair.

Now what does it matter whether DR.. Rich
ard Won Kuhlemann, the new Secretary for
Foreign Affairs in the Imperial German gov
eminent is+opposed to ruthlessness and the
U-boat or not. He amounts to just about as
