rf plans for the renewal of opera
tions in the mines of Tuscarora
have been appearing at intervals
for some time past and it Is said
that these plans are now nearing
fulfillment. No particulars of the
work in hand are available here and
it is probable that the best infor-
nation can be obtained by address
ing The Elko Independent or the
f,lko Free Press. either of which is
doubtless we'll informed on existing
conditions in the old camp.
w. E. S., Cleveland, O.-At the
present time no development work
is being conducted in the property
of the Orc company and it does not
appear likely that the company will
resume work under former condi-
lions, as 1t is understood that the
lower part of the shaft has caved
and that a large part of the surface
equipment has been sold. Efforts
have been in progress in the east
to finance additional work On the
property, but these efforts do not
appear to have met with success.
M (uonH nu-Nofr-
ally the number of men employed
in the Goldfield mines Is consider
ably less than before the country
entered the war, but fully as many
properties are being worked here
as one or two years ago and there
are actually signs of expansion in
some directions. Good labor is at
a premium in all mining centers,
many of the men having been draft
cd or having gone to other indus
tries or camps, and in view of the
| Ugh cost of mine supplies and con-
sequent high operating costs many
companies are curtailing the scope
of operations. A considerable
amount of activity is reported in
the Rand district. The Nevada
Rand company Is said to be develop
ing on a broad scale and at last re-

is working on a large scale and

SCOUTS IN AIRCRAFT RAID.

A feature of a recent air raid in Lon
don, when eight people were killed and
twenty-one injured, was the appear
anCe Of some 300 or 400 boy scouts as
buglers sounding the "all clear signal"
through the streets when the official
notice was sent out.
After experimenting with motor
horns and whistles, neither of which
proved satisfactory, the authorities de-
cided that the French system of sound
ing bugles was the most effective. The
question Of where to get enough buglers
arose, and it was answered by boy
scouts volunteering in numbers.
They assembled at the police centers
when the warning of the raid was is
sued and dispersed throughout the city
Immediately the word "clear" was CIV
en-, apparently finding great pride and
enjoyment in the work. All the boys
had to furnish the written consent Of
parents or guardians before they were
enlisted.

To supply the wheat necessary until

average consumption of meats and
fats by from 10 TO Is per cent and
dairy products by about 10 per cent.
Over there they are tightening their

They are eating war bread; they are
cutting down their sugar In England
to two pounds per person per month,
and in France and Italy to one pound

are using ration cards for most of the

to lose the war instead of helping to

Mr.. Right; you've said it this is
war! To win the war it might be neces-
sary for the government to take your
factory away from you, and ruin your
business. 1t might be necessary to take
your house and turn you out in the street.
What of that? Is that as great sacrifice
as your neighbor makes, or stands ready
to make, when he gives his boy to his
country Yet you don't think it's your
duty to pinch and save, and borrow if
need be, in order to buy Liberty Bonds,
and thus help shorten the war, make VIC
tory certain, and save the lives of thou
sands of American boys who will other

stop complaining and criticising, and put
up my last dollar if need be, to help
win this war;

1t is the food problem over there
that makes a food problem over here.
If we wished to be supremacy selfish
and supremely shortsighted--we could
go on eating as much as we like and
whatever we like, without much diff.
Guilty or interruption-at least, until
the Germans came
But we are not doing things In that
selfish and suicidal way. We are try.
ing to make great common pool of
all Of our food, and all of the food of
the allies, and all of the food we can
get from South American and other
neutrals, and dividing 1t up fairly
among America, England, France, Bel
GUM and Italy.
This does not mean that all of the
people in the great pool are going to
have the same ration, but means that
we are trying to arrange to have
enough for everybody, so that the sol.
dlers-our soldiers and their soldiers
will be well fed, as they have to be
TO fight hard and continuously, and
that the munitions workers and the
workers in all the other necessary in
duStries, and the men and women at
home will all have enough to keep
alive and well. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary to do this If the war is to be won,
and We are going to do it, but it means
planning, working, arranging cooper.
ating, being careful. not wasting, saw
ing.
And 1t means that each and every
one of us has got to help.
Now, we have enough and more than
enough food for ourselves, and the
Government Is going to see to It that
we keep here at home sufficient sup.
ply of every essential kind of food to
support our people. But over there
they simply have not enough. Lord
Rhondda, the English food controller
recently cabIed the American food ad.
mInistrator, that unless we can send
the allies before the next uropean
harvest 100000 bushels of wheat in
addition to what had been sent up to
January of this year he could not
assure the people Of the allies that
they would have a sufficient supply Of
food to carry on the war;
He did not say anything in this cable
about the other food necessary, but
he has told of these needs In other
cables-and by his actions in England.
For example, his latest regulation
conpels a reduction of meat eating In
the United Kingdom to maximum of
one pound per week per person, this
pound including the bone and other
waste parts in the meat as bought in
the shop.
The allies must have more wheat,
more meat, more fats, more dairy prod
ucts, more sugar. Their harvests were
very short-France had less than half
her normal crop of wheat-and the
available shipping is small in amount
and constantly being lessened by sub
marines, so that 1t Is now practically
impossible to use any ships for the long
voyage necessary to bring food from

SCOUTS OF OLD CONCORD

Troop No. of Concord, Mass, raises
and lowers the flag on the Square each
day. A resident of historic Lexington
Road who has watched this loyal serv-
Ice, sees in 1T the same patriotic i'm
pulse Of 1775 when the "embattled
farmers stood and fired the shot heard
round the world" He writes:
Adown the street with measured tread,
With shoulders squared and eyes ahead,
Not looking to the left nor right.
They proudly march to do their "mite,"
To sound of neither trump nor drum,
Nor music's thrill. nor plaudit's hum,
The khaki lads so trim and fit,
March to the Square to do their "bit."
And as the twilight gathers round,
They stand upon historic ground
Where sires met and nobly fought
For liberty their efforts brought.
Beneath the starry flag they stand.
At sound Of retreat" with loving hand
They lower the coiors to the ground.
With reverence that Is most profound.
Then fright about" they march away,
Their duties over for the day;
Their good turns done In all mems
sight,
They go to quarters for the night.
Thus is the spirit of '75
Daily nurtured and made to thrive
Within the hearts of these small lads,
Loyal grandsons Of fighting dads"

SCOUTS BUILD BIG sEARcHLIGHT.

One Of the newest and liveliest boy
scout services has been rendered the
government in Birmingham, Ala, A
troop Of scouts is erecting at cost Of
several hundred dollars giant search
light on the top floor of the Jefferson
County Bank building.
The searchlight will be used in
quickly mobilizing the boy scouts OF
the city, who will all be taught the call
and other signals. 1t will also be
used by the Civic association on such
occasions as elections. The scouts
operating it will also learn the proper
code SO that they may perhaps be Of
some service to the government.
The monster searchlight will have a
13-inch face and will be about 1000
watts strong. It will be visible for
over Is miles and has unlimited posi-
bilities.

THE PART OF WOMEN IN FOOD
PRICE REGULATION.

Woman's work in food administra-
ton extends beyond the home, for
she has a distinct police service to
perform. Prices and profits on nee
essary food staples are controlled I'M
der the license system of the Food Ad-
ministration, amplified by personal
pledges given by retail food dealers,
and backed by fair price schedules
published in each community news
paper
The housewife chances over the fair
price schedule for butter, say, and that
same day finds that the price asked
by her grocer is several cents higher.
If she fails to understand her function
as volunteer inspector of the Food
Administration, she may pay the price
without protest to her grocer, and later
enter a complaint with the local food
administrator If she understands,
however, that food control machinery
has been organized with a distinct
funtiOn for her as an inspector she will
take the matter up directly with her
grocer, asking his reasons for charg-
ing price which is excessive, in the
opinion of the Food Administration.
In some cases the high price may be
justified by superior quality in the
product. Or she may trade at store
where she enjoys credit and delivery
service, which naturally involve price
somewhat higher than is charged in a
cash-and-carry store. If there Is
Iox yf,,1 20
is entitled to know about it, and sue
cessful food control depends upon her
efforts as a volunteer inspector far
more than upon any system or profess
sional inspection that can be devised.
Where overchargeS are actually
found, they should be promptly re-
ported to the local food administrator,
who will take up complaints and deal
with violators. The shopping house
wife should confine her purchases to
stores that display the retailers
pledge under which the merchant
agrees to sell licensed food articles at
definite maximum profit Where
this pledge is violated the pledge pos.
ter is taken away from the merchant
Food control naturally involves mis-
understandings, leaves many loop
holes open for violators, and burdens
local food administrators with detail
work. The housewife who constantly
keeps in mind the fact that she, as a
pledge signer has become a member
of the Food Administration, can do
more than anyone else to see that
food control is enforced. This duty
is as definite war service as economy
in her kitchen and at her table.
