The Horse Drops
in Informally

A London correspondent tells of
a pIeasant-faced girl who drives a
mail van-one of many engaged in
such work. This one always saves
from her very small ration of
sugar a lump for her horse, and
when the air raids begin, she goes
to his stall and keeps up his
courage. She has to leave on her
route at $50 each day, often in
fog, cold or rain, and her day is
IA hours long. The men, scolding
and laughing together, say that
they can do nothing with the
horses since the girls came on the
force; they come right into the
offices in search of their feminine
drivers.

Three Ways of lncreas-
ing Food Resources

Industry overshadows agricul-
ture in Allegheny County, Pa,
where large quantities. of ammuni-
ticn and shipbuilding materials
are manufactured, but the Allegh-
eny County farm bureau has found
at least three ways of increaCing
the county food resources and thus
diminishing the demand on the
reserves of other communities.
One result is that members of the
Pittsburgh Field Club now sit on
the front veranda of their club
house and see $50 sheep grazing
on their golf links. Another result
is that Pittsburgh garbage is be-
ing converted every day into pork
by 400 hogs. The garbage is heat
ed in tanks under pressure for 8
or 10 hours, freeing it from poi
sonous and foreign material.
About $50 bushels Of garbage are
fed daily, producing pork at an es-
timated cost of 10 cents a pound
live weight. The hogs will be fin
ishcd with corn. A way also has
been found of saving farm pro-
duce which might go to waste. A
truck equipped with a complete
canning outfit and accompanied by
over a dozen experienced women
is sent into the country districts to
can surplus fruits and vegetables.
This work is being done by the
Women's Committee of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense, with the
aid of the farm bureau.

An Afro-American Victory

Representative Bland, of Indi-
ana, brings this back from Eu-
rope:
An American lying wounded in
a wheat field was somewhat taken
aback by the spectacle, in slow and
stately approach, of German Of
ficer. He was magnificent with
medals and he wore a monocle.
Every once in a while his impress
siveness was spoiled by nervous
turn of the head and the suspicion
of a squirm-just as if some one
were tickling him in the rear with
a bayonet. Some one was, for look
ing beyond, the wounded Ameri-

A New Training Camp Sport

Cage ball, one of the latest adj
ditions to the long list of training
camp sports conducted by the war
department commission on train
ing camp activities, bids fair to be-
come one of the most popular ath-
letic diversions among the soldiers
and sailors.
Cage ball combines the play
value of several games. 1t has the
rush and drive of football, the ex-
citing moments of basketball and
the rough hustle and tussle of the
class rush.
|: The game can be played by a
dozen, a hundred or Thousand
men; there is no limit to the num-
Der of players. Thus the weak and
undeveloped may have the same
experience, pleasure and profit
that lis given to the skilled athlete
who plays on team whose players
are Limited. And the aggressive
fighting spirit, so invaluable on
the battlefield, is stimulated.

The Home Front

The battle front in Europe is
not the only American front. There
is a home front, and our people at
home should be as patriotic as our
men in uniform in foreign lands.
Every American soldier who has
fallen in France, every American
sailor who has died for his coun-
try's cause has given his life for
his people. Surely we, their peo-
pie, can lend our money to our
Nation, their country.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is the
fighting loan. It's great success
will bring comfort an encourage
ment and a deep sense of pride to
our Army and our Navy, and to
our allies; it will bring discour-
agement to our enemies. It's sue

Incandescent Lamp Dubbed
inefficient"

The Fuel Administration has
prohibited the making of the cheap
light in the interests of fuel con-
servation.
In a letter explaining the action
of the National Fuel Administra-
ton, Charles H. TenWeeges laid
the matter before the Public
Utilities Commission recently in a
letter supplementing the order.
By":neficient," as the order terms
the cheap incandescents, is meant
the carbon flament lamp which is
secured gratis in exchange for old
burned out lamps. 1t is taken that
as a matter of fuel conservation
the carbon flament will become a
matter of history, even after the
war, as it is an obvious waste of
mower to use the cheaper lamp.

PUNISH GROCER
Who Sold Sugar to Housewives in TO-
Pound Lots.

Pound LOTS
Evasion of the sugar regulations
has led to trouble, for George N.
Fries, a grocer in Center market
Washington, d. c. An investigation
by the Food Administration showed
that Fries had been selling sugar in
10-pOund lots to individual customers,
and to conceal his violation of the
Food Administration regulations had
been having his patrons sign receipts
marked merely 80. X" instead of sig
nifying that they We're for sugar, An
unlimited "unfair order" has been
placed against him, the Foe Admin
istration instructing all iiCens aes to
discontinue all business dealings with
him in licensed commodities.
The Food Administration was led to
investigate this case because of
statements recently made by the
keener Of Il boarding house, who had
been summoned before the Federal
Food Administrator for the District
y Columbia, TO explain why her
hoarderS We're receiving unlimited
amounts of sugar. She said that she
had been making 10-pound purchases
from Fries.

THE SOURCES OF
TIN SUPPLY
Production and use Greatly
Increased in Recent
Years


1t is said when Caesar with his
legiCns was sailing westward he
sighted what he thought was a
tremendous cliff of silver. This
proved to be what we row know as
the famous Cornwall tin mines, of
Wales. Since then, this cliff has
dlcapp and the miners are
today thousands Of feet below the
surface and miles out under the
bed of the ocean, still mining tin.
1t is known that tin was used
before the Stone Age and in all
prehistoric countries implements,
utensils and weapons have been
found that contain some tin.
Until modern times the use of
tin commercially was very limited,
but in the last twenty years its
production and use have both in
creased tremendously.
Tim is found in every quarter of
the globe. There are numerous so
called tin mines located in our own
country, but none of them so far
has proved to be of any commerce
ial value.
The greatest source of supply is
in the Straits Settlements. The
next most important source of sup
ply is Bolivia, then come the Dutch
possessions in Java. There is also
considerable tin mined in Siam
and China, Billion, Nigeria, Aus
tralia, Cornwall, Br:tish-protected
Malay States and the Union of
South Africa.
All tin that is used in this coun-
try comes from over seas. Former
ly all the tin which came to this
country from the British possess
SONS i'm the Far East, came via
London. Since during the war it
has been subjected to the sub
marine peril, all tin intended for
America, coming from the Far
East, comes now via the Pacific
and overland from the Pacific
Coast thus obviatirg the subma-
rine menace.
Tin is a mineral that is used in
almost every branch of industry
conceivable. 1t has been stated
with proof that we could not oper-
ate a steamer on the ocean, we
could not build a railroad car, we
could not do anything to carry on
this war, if we did not have tin.
1t might be said that the entire in
dustry of the United States is de-
pendent on tin in some form or
other.
Tin is one of the most essential
metals in the whole war program
and it will be impossible to sustain
our demands or properly aid the
industries CT our allies unless an
adequate supply be furnished.
The actual consumption of vir-
gin tin in the United States in 1917
was 1857 long tons, or approx
mately SO per cent. of the worlds
production.
The War Industries Boards es-
innate of supplies of virgin tin for
1918 from present sources is ap-
proximately $4,000 tons, leaving a
deficit of some 5000 tons, which
must be made good either by de-
veloping new sources of supply, as
for instance in Bolivia, or by eff
fecting further economies in the
use of the metal. Such further
economies it will be extremely
difficult to make, as probably Is
per cent. of the tin used at present
is directly or indirectly for mill
tary purposes and the remaining
25 per cent. for the most essential
civilian uses. 1t is highly desir-
able, therefore, to develop new
sources of supply.

Special Eyangelistie Services

Rev Leroy Clarke one of Ne
vada's most noted evangelists, will
commence special services at the
Baptist church Sunday evening,
March 10.
He has had, so it is stated, un-
qualified success in various churches
throughout the state, and has the
reputation of being a mans man. ="
He is said to be the prototype, in
his methods, of Billy Sunday, in this
assuring the public of interesting
meetings.
The leader of the singers is a con-
verted vaudeville actor of fine his
trionic ability and who has excep-
tional power with the baton.
1t is desired that any possessing
musical talent will offer their SER
vices thus aiding inthe formation of
a large chorus, and orchestra.
The meetings will be held under
the auspices of the Baptist and
Methodist congregations and it is
expected that they will be memoir
able ones.

Grafton Sam Belford; Many
State Officials Invited

The occupancy of the new High
School so long looked forward to,
became a reality last Monday when
following most accurate moving
plans outlined by Professor J. r. Nc
Killop, the classes assembled with
out confusion prepared for the
duties of the hour.
A most inopportune accident to
one of the burners of the heating
plant compelled the dismissal of the
classes for the day but studies were
taken up on the following day and
will continue without interruption
until the vacation season with the
exception of the two days set apart
for dedication next week
The formal dedication of the
splendid building will be held Friday
and Saturday, March and and the
program as outlined is worthy of the
occasion
On Friday afternoon will occur the
house warming, which term has ref
erence to the welcome features rath-
er than to artifically manufactured
warmth, the students acting as ush-
ers and guides. Informal musical
program and recitations by Miss
Geissler's classes in music and ex-
preston. Light refreshments served
by Miss Ealand's department.
Friday evening talks by President
w. E. Clark of the State University,

Governor Emmett Boyle is also
expected as he has informed Attor-
ney A. L. Haight of his wish to be
present and only important state
matters will prevent him from par
ticipating.
The building is worthy of any

interesting occasion to thoroughly
inspect its various departments.

HENRY MORTON GUEST OF
CRAY, REID & co. CLERKS
Entire Force of Employees Greet
Him i'm Methodist Church Last
Monday Evening

Henry Morton was rendered q
surprise Monday night that was as
complete as it was agreeable, when
his fellow clerks of Gray. Reid &
Co, invited him to the Methodist
Church, the occasion being prompted
by his intended enlistment.
An invitation extended to him by
Chester Dimond on the pretense oi
attending a meeting of the Boy
Scouts, brought the guest of the
evening to the presence of the en-
tire party of conspirators where he
held the center of the stage through
an evening that was without a dull
moment.
A program of games, puzzles and
of music kept the large gathering
in a delightful humor until late
hour when with many expressions
of good wishes for their guest the
party left for their homes.
The most popular game of the
evening was one entitled "Swatting
the Kaiser" and consisted of a por-
trait of that notorious individual, to-
ward which missiles were hurled
with a prize awarded to the one in
flieting most damage upon the
worthy's features.
Morton will leave Friday for San
Francisco his intention being to join
the artillery branch of the service.
In point of length of service he is
one of the Oldest in the employ of
Gray, Reid & Co., and one of the
most popular.
He is the second member of his
family to volunteer for the colors,
his brother Russell having promptly
responded to the first call and ia
now with the aviation squadron, at
Dayton, Ohio.

DECISION OF JUDGE JONES
IN BARKLEY CASE

Justice of the Peace T. A. Jones
handed down his decision last week
in the case of the people vs.. ]. H..
BarlSley finding that from the evil
dence not sufficient cause appears to
believe defenadnt guilty of crime
charged in the complaint and order
ed that he be discharged from GUS
tody.
This was the case growing out of
a circular printed and freely dis
tributed by Barkley, several months
ago and which contained charges
seriously rejecting upon the manage
ment of the Nevada Colony, of which
he was at that time a member.
The circular attracted consider
able attention and the colony Off
GERS maintained that it was a gross
attack upon them and constituted
criminal libel and accordingly enter
ed complaint, upon which the Dis
trict Attorney brought suit,
