Ter several months in the army: the
last weeks spent in the hospital. CToak
has an honorable discharge given him
because his feet would not stand the
grind. The last thing he wanted was
20 be discharged but that couldn't De
helped.
The United States army hasn't a big
y.r booster than croak. He states that
the treatment the private soldier gets
IS supreme" and good enough for q
major general. The regularity OF hours
the drill and the food make the recruit
feel better in six weeks than he ever
did in his life before.
Croak was stationed at Fort Berry

men including Ted Blocker, the foot

R, R. SOLD
 FOR JUNK

TONOPAH, NEV., Dec, l6-- Be- cause it is more valuable as junk than as railroad, that portion of the Las Vegas & Tonopah system" lying be- tween Las Vegas and Beatty has been abandoned and will be sold. The last rain has thundered over its rails.
 That portion of the railroad extend ing between Beatty and GOldfield, q distance of 70 miles, will be operat- ed by the Tonopah & Tidewater, the old F.M. (Borax) Smith line. The total milage of the Las Vegas and Tonopah railroad, extending from LasVegas to Goldfiald, is 197 miles.
 The Las Vegas & Tonopah was pro- iected by "Borax" Smith and financ- d by Senator William A. Clark Smith planned to operate the road in with the Salt Lake Routo and tap the mining district of Bull

 Since the taking over of mos. of the railroads of the country by the government the business of the Las Vegas x Tonopah has dwindled to al- most nothing. All freight and passen ger traffoc was routed to the Tono- pah & Tidewater.
 After having been operated for IF years, the railroad as physical pro perty is worth more today than when the rails were laid in 1906. It s ex- pccted that part of the railroad wh cl' has been abandoned will bring good price.

President Wilson and Food administrator Hoover are get ting tired of so much prohibition being injected into the laws that are being enacted by Congress and have called a halt. It has been found that a lot of drunken prohibition lobbyists have been throwing stumbling blocks ir the way of war legislation, caus ing delays right at time wher something should be quickly done. Wilson will carry the war to victory if given chance but if his progress is to be con tinually blocked by these trait ors, he will be much longer 1T doing it.

Wheat Cutting in Progress

We had occasion to make an overland trip to Stuttgart Tues day and on cur way noticed many wheat fields that were ready for the binder. They were not large but numerous. Some of the farmers along the route were beginning to cut their crop and many others were get ting ready to go into the fields to harvest.
 The crop looks excellent and from all appearances will yield from at least F to 20 bushels per acre. The quality is good and there is reason to believe new wheat will be on the market in the next two or three weeks. The crop is much larger in the vicinity of Carlisle and Hazen than it is further down the Prai rie, however 1t is very good all the way between here and Stutt- gart. If other sections of the country raise wheat this year in the same proportion through out the south, the south can feed herself and have some to spare.
 The corn crop also looks good and with rains at the right time an abundance of that cereal will be harvested this fall which will make sufficient feed for man and stock to pull through till next season.
 Oats are also being harvested and from present appearances the yield promises to be large.
 The rice crop is abont all planted and many irrigation p1ants are going in full blast,
