UNIQUE WEAPON IS
EMPLOYED AGAINST
GERMAN U-BOAT
Coal Shovel And Captains
Presence of mind Saves A
TrawIer From Enemy Sub
marine

LONDON. March 9.-When ones
vessel is in danger from an enemy
submarine anything will do as wea-
pom of defense, as shown by the
story of the captain of British
trawler, who used coal shovel with
good effect against German U-boat.
The trawler was in the North Sea
when the skipper saw periscope less
than a hundred yards off. There was
no gun aboard the trawler, and the
captain turned the vessel so that the
sides scraped the submarine. then
bawled for a hammer, crowbar, or
anything. AS he leaned over the bull
warks a coal shovel was thrust into
his hand, and with two of the crew
holding him, the skipper swung q
heavy scoop at the fragile periscope.
The third blow reduced it to frag-
ments, and thus the trawler ecaped.

ness connected with the collection OF
income tax. The collector had Just a
little blood in his eye and told us to
impress it very forcibly upon the
public OF this County that Uncle Sam
means business in this income tax
collection proposition. II is a fact
known TO government officials at
this time that many people subject
to income tax have not made a single
inquiry concerning the proper filling
out OF income tax returns. And yet
the filling out OF these returns is a
matter OF considerable ingenuity and
a few pointers must first be secured
before it is attempted.
Collector Reber informed US that he
would be in Wells tomorrow (Sun-
day.. and Monday, and Deeth Tues
day and here in Elko on Wednesday
and Thursday, these being positively
the last times he will appear in this
county in connection with this busi.

shape to remit on one OF the two days
during Mr.. Reber's presence here.
The last day for remission is April

to comply with the law is severe. I'm

RAISE FOODSTUFFS OR
STARVE, SOUTH IS TOLD

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 9.-Raise
foodstuffs or starve.
That is what the farmers of the
south are being told by agricultural
experts and the newspapers. The
southern states have never produced
enough foodstuffs to feed themselves.
Always great stores of food have been
moved south from the north and cot
ton has been sent north in exchange.
With the railroads congested and Eu.
ropean countries crying for every
pound of food America can spare, the
south must not draw on the north
for food but must raise a sufficient
amount at all hazards.
1t is pointed out that the world car
get along with seven or eight millior
bales of cotton, against the usual ter
or fifteen million bales, and that in
stead of producing surplus OF cot
ton the south must produce fully one
third more foodstuffs or go hungry.
