MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD
Real Treasure of Peru Was the Po-
tato, Though Spaniards Did
Not Realize Ii.

The gold of the Indies was the at
traction that led Columbus to sail
westward, that carried Cortez to Mex
leo and Pizarro to Peru. The Incas
had large stores of the precious metal,
representing, 40 doubt, the accumula-
tons of many centuries. The capture
of such a booty %resounded through
Europe. Spain became for a time the
wealthiest, as well as the most pow
erful, nation of Europe, and this was
ascribed to the gold of Peru.
But Peru held another treasure
much more valuable for the nations Of
Europe than the golden booty of
Pizarro. Carrying the potato to Eu-
rope was an event Of much more pro-
found significance in relation to the
subsequent history of the world than
sending the Inca gold to the Golfers
of Spain. But nobody understood the
value of the potato, and its Peruvian
origin was generally forgotten before
the plant became well known. In
stead of Peruvian potatoes we call
them Irish potatoes.
The potato was the basis of the
ancient Peruvian nation and has at
tanned almost the same Importance in
other parts of the world within the
last 100 years.-National Geographic

LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN BOYS
silly Idea That Those Born in May
Are Naturally More Cruel Than
Other Youngsters.

What is the origin of the belief that
boys born in the month of May are
cruel by nature7 In Notes and Queries
John T. Page says that he was born IN
May, land as l look back into the days
of my boyhOod | am often Mortified to
recall many acts Of cruelty perpetrated
by me, and at my i%nstigation, on birds
and animals. l seem to have delighted
in these acts of cruelty until l was
about twelve years old, when they
ceased" Mr.. Page adds that as a man
he is representative. II cannot now
kill a bird or TN animal without ex-
%periencing most poignant feelings OF
adherence of the act"
Are not nearly all healthy boys de-
structive and cruel? They were in u
little village, writes Philip Hale n the
Boston Herald. One of our favorite
amusements was the reckless employ
ment of sling and buckshot. We would
lie on the roof of the minister's house
on Elm street and plug horses, dogs,
farmers in carts or on wood sledges,
Just to see them jump. Nor were we
then aware that surprise was the chief
element of wit. That's what makes IA
man laugh so when he sits down on a
bent pin" Kidding the windows of a
schoolhouse was almost as good sport
as tearing off the pickets of Deacon
BOdman's fente. Hitting little boys
heads with iceballs, not snowballs,
was a favorite winter amusement. II
was considered a good joke to kidnap
a youngster at night, take him far into
the Bridge street graveyard and then
run away from him. Tormenting cats
and dogs was common when a small
boy was not easily caught. The sling
ers, the throwers of other missiles and
the tormentors Of animals were surely
not all born in May. Nor were all boys
born in May skilled in rude or ingen-
ious torturing.

nPuaet Sound Lobster"

Seattle is consuming only about half
a ton of octopus, 'devilfish," a week,
according to fish dealers of that city.
But this consumption is bound TO
jump as soon as the Americans be-
come familiar with the taste of this
~inhabitant of the deep. The Greek
fishermen, who consider the octopus
a great delicacy, call it "devilfsh; :"
while the japanese fish dealer gets
calls from his people for "tako," and
when Sing, down in Chinatown, places
1t on his menu card he gives it a name
that only a Cantonese can read or I'M
derstand. When cafe managers up
town decide to give their patrons a
treat the lowly devilfish probably will
become puget Sound lobster"

In many ways the present Yueltidt
will be the most memorable not only
as the first after a world wal
through which we have just passed
but the first Christmas which the
State of Nevada has known since she
entered the prohibition column 1--WE
just can't help using these newspaper
expressions).
Within the recollection of ONE oil
the oldest inhabitants of the then Ter
ritory of Nevada the Christmas OF
1864, during the period of Civil War
stress, when the country was seethine
with excitement and suspense as to
whether Nevada should or should not
be admitted to the Union as a State
was another fateful Christmas and
one not to be forgotten by the re-
naming few who witnessed it.
The term Merry Christmas must
be qualified this year. Tho the war
is over there will be many a vacant
chair at thousands of firesides, some
which will never be filled, and our
happiness will be tempered with sad
ness when we think of the broken
hearts and homes in battle-torn Eu-
rope as well as in our own fair
country.
With the furling of the battleflags,
the rehabilitation of the land, the
breaking down of the barriers of
caste. and the world democracy which
will ensue. Time with kindly hand
will make our sadness blurred, and
when another Christmas has passed
we may again experience the holiday
feeling; and in the meantime may
our thought be turned to the doing of
good to our fellow creatures and fos-
tering the nearly obsolete qualities
of gratitude, kindness and fidelity to
our friends and associates.
Merry Christmas!

STILL MORE OF IT

This office was favored yesterday
afternoon by the receipt via the United
States mail of an eight-page bulletin
from the United States food admins
t%ration, this bulletin being printed on
the finest grade of heavy white paper.
1t was filled with interesting informa-
ton concerning what to do with food
left over from the Thanksgiving din
ner; but, coming in just a week after
Thanksgiving, it was neither valuable
nor available. The l~eft-oyers' are
nc longer left.
Another thought in this connection
is that the great majority of Us need
nc instruction as to what to do with
"left-overs." We know about it fully
as well as some Pretty Polly parasite
sitting in a Washington Office citing
out fanciful recipes for turkey sOuf-
fie," Dreamed chicken with mush-
rooms "~marshmallow pu siding" end
fruit tapioca." What seems to be
more needed than anything else just
at present is for some n to go into

improved Fuel for AirpIanes.

That the Germans are using a new
and improved fuel for airplane en-
gines was the statement of Leon Ca
men before the Aeronautical society.
To gasoline is added one per cent of
toluol and one and one-half per cent
Of alcohol. The mixture gives a sharp
err ignition than simple gasoline, and
while it exerts some deteriorating ef-
feet upon the metal, the short life of
the airplane motor at the war front
means that the motor is discarded be-
fore the deterioration becomes Sc
rious.
Toluol is a coal tar product and is
the base Of that powerful explosive,
trinitrotoluOl.

LIQUIDATION BY
HOLDERS AT AN END.
Oats Develop Strength With Corn
Gains Being Scored After Market
Opens at Unchanged P,ices-Pork
Continues Downward Course But
Lard and Ribs Show Firm Tone.

Chicago, Oct. 4,-Absence Of selling
pressure caused the corn market to
recover somewhat today from the re-
cent declines. Liquidation by holders
seemed at an end for the time being.
Commission houses were only moder-
ately active. Opening prices, which
ranged from the same as yesterdays
finish to Z cent higher, with October
at 1924 to 100 and December at l.26&
to 1.27, were followed by gains all
around and then by a fair reaction.
Around noon a break carried some
prices below the previous days in
side figures. but the effect was tran
sient and reports of a better shipping
demand rallied the market. The close
was unsettled Il cent lower TO Us
cents advance, with November at
sl.S0N to sl30& and December at

Oats.
Oats developed strength with corn.
After opening unchanged to y cent
higher. with November at 50 TO 69A,
the market scored further upturn.
Provisions.
Pork continued TO fall. Lard and
ribs, however. were firm, owing to
government needs.
Setting of the october minimum
price had a noticeable bullsh effect.
