ESPECIALLY GOOD
PICTURE TONIGHT

It's the unusual that cuts the great
figure. And William Fox has attained
il in "The Spy" the timely, sensational
photo-drama exposing the operations
of Germany's secret police in the
United States, which is the special
feature at the American Theatre for
tonight
Do you know that the Prussians
have 10000 foreign emissaries lurking
and scheming in this country? Every
day the newspapers have stories to
the effect that important state secrets.
information of military movements
and operations of the naval vessels
reach the head of Germany's secret
police in Berlin.
Do you know that Prussias agents
at one time planned to blow up the
Brooklyn and other bridges, the Hud-
son tubes, the subways and the water
supply, thereby cutting New York off
from other parts of the country?
Fortunately. these facts were dis
covered in time. The spirit of re"
came to the fore and one of society's
young idlers-an American to the
core-made sacrifices for his country,
making 1t possible for President Will
son to get in his possession list Of
spies operating in the United States
many of whom were prominent So
cially.
All this is told in pictures by Will
Iiau1 Eox in one of fhe greatest war
pictures of the day. And there is not
a battle scene in it, "The Spy" is a
photo-drama, and Dustin Farnum, as
Mark Quaintance. the rich and petted
society man, is the hero-who braved
the horrors of Berlins prisons-the
man who served his country in the
time of need

TELLS ABOUT MERINO SHEEP
Writer Accounts for Thick Folds In
Fleece, Not to Be Found in Other
Popular Breeds.

Just about every so often l get to
feeling sheepish, as 1t were, and have
to write something to show my famil-
iarity with those animals, says Strfck-
land Gillian in Farm Life.
The other day saw my wife cook
ing leg of lamb. Now and then she
would open the door of the oven and
flip some water over the meat.
Thus l learned how, when we start
to roast somebody, we may be said to
be giving him lamb-basting.
You have often heard of sheepfoids,
haven't you? Well, If you want to see
a sheepfold look at any merino sheep.
which accounts for the way the folds
show on them.
When merino sheep were made, hide
was cheaper than mutton and wool
was drug on the market. So a wee
bit of sheep was wrapped In several
sheepskins. necessitating lot of over
laps. II seems easier to shir a sheep
than t. shear one.
There is an old rhyme which speaks
Of the folded flock" Those must
have been merinos. II is some nifty
stunt to de-wooi a merino and leave
on more OF tine hide than of the wool.
1t Is the only accordion plated sheep
In the solar system. If merinos had
been washed In green persimmon juice
all their lives they couldn't have been
puckereder.
Evidently their mammas didn't use
(that kind of) soap.
The Southdown. Oxforddown, Shrop-
shire-down, ETC., are sheep with clean
dresses and dirty hands and faces.
The only sheep that wear bustles
are the fat rumped sheep now being
raised at the state college at Brook
ings, s. ID. They carry trailer.
something like locomotive, only there
isn't tender behind, except for eating
purposes.

Tempting Natives to Work.

Tempting natives of British New
Guinea to work was a process which
was explained during the hearing of
a case In London recently. A man who
has lived many years there said that
he had solved very difficult labor
problem In New Guinea. The men
could not be tempted to work for
money, and he hit upon the idea Of Of
fering them beads, gaudy cloths, dogs
teeth and musical instruments. To get
these they worked for a twelvemonth
and then induced others to do likewise,

MORE ANENT THE
income TAX LAW

Collector of Internal Revenue j. 5.
Wardell announced today that an am
pie supply of corporation income tax
return forms. designated as form 1881,
have been received from Washington.
corps of clerks in the income tax
division are today stamping them in
preparation to mailing the forms to
all of the $4,000 corporations in the
first district. comprising Northern
California and Nevada, listed in the
returns for 1916.
Two copies of the form will be
mailed to all corporations in the dis
trict tonight. One copy of the form
is for return to the collectors office
in San Francisco and one copy for the
private files of the corporation, so that
they may be available for recheck
when the internal revenue inspector
calls after April 1. the last day for
filing income tax returns.
Collector Wardell urges that all
corporations listed in the 1916 returns
be patient until they receive their
forms by mail within a day or two.
New corporations, the names of which
have not as yet been obtained from
the states capitals, and of which there
is no record in the collectors Office,
may obtain the corporation income
tax forms by addressing room ia,
Customs House, Washington and Bat
terry streets. San Francisco. 1t is de-
sirable that they state that they have
not heretofore made corporation in :
come tax return.

GET ON THE BAND
WAGON; sign UP

Pledge cards are now being circu-
lated for monthly contributions to the
Winnemucca Red Cross Chapter, to
the end that this lively chapter may
be kept in material to continue their
good work of supplying much-needed
articles for our boys in the trenches.
The committee recently appointed for
this work. consisting of Messrs.
Oastler, Loinaz. Brandon and Araic, is
very much on the job and the plan
undoubtedly will meet with gratifying
success.
Chairman Oastler pointed out this
morning that the idea is very simple.
If only 1000 persons contribute small
amounts monthly-from so cents up
the chapter will have a regular In
come of between $500 and $1,000 per
month, and much good can be accom-
plished with this amount.
To give people some idea of what is
being accomplished in Winnemucca by
the well organized Red Cross workers,
displays of wooden goods, bandages,
pajama suits, convalescent shirts and
hospital bedshirts, etc. have been
shown in the windows of the Eagle
and Stephenson drug stores. These
displays have brought forth much
favorable comment and have. served
to increase interest. 1t is probable
that Winnemucca Chapter. National
Red Cross, will become known as the
most progressive, sincere and pro-
ducing chapter in any community of
like size in the entire state.
