JUDGE BALDWIN
ON PRODUCTION
Says Connecticut People Must
Produce More Food Than
at Present.
LASTING GOOD WILL RESULT,
Former Chief Magistrate of State
Sounds Warning Everybody
Must Help.
LASTING GOOD WILL RESULT.

Hartford.-After warning the people
of Connecticut that they may be on
short rations this year former Gov
ernor Simeon E. Baldwin, jurist of
international reputation and a pro-
found student of all public problems,
today showed the state how to in
crease Connecticut's productiveness.
Governor Baldwin's appeal for in
creased production was prepared for
the Federal Food Administration for
Connecticut and Is as follows:
"The United States just now is risk
ing a good deal Of discomfort for its
own people. It is found to be increas-
ingly difficult to feed them as they
have been used to being fed. Con-
necticut is going to feel this soon If
she does not produce more to eat She
has not been accustomed to rely on
her own farms and pastures for the
support of her inhabitants. We could
buy food cheaper outside. But things
are no longer so cheap. The war has
now brought the west half Of Europe
for customers. Connecticut must be-
gin to look out for herself and work
her own farms to better advantage.
"Her people must and can produce
more food than they now do. It is not
simply the farmers to whom we must
look. Everybody can help. Waste
makes want. Work makes plenty.
Every garden patch can be made to
produce more, and women and children
can do the work If the men are away
on public service.
'It will be of permanent benefit to
our people If they learn these lessons
of economic duty. The lessons learned
will survive the war. Habits Of econo-
my and thrift, once formed, are not
soon forgotten.
'Most of the money given to public
agencies in aid of those who are ac-
lively engaged in winning the war for
US will be spent for objects that will
come to an end with the war. From
soldiers stockings to camp libraries
and Y. NJ G. A. buildings, they are of
the kind that will perish in the using.
Not SO with what we put on the land,
in the way of making it do more for
us and our neighbors. We could go far
towards doubling its productiveness.
We can readily increase it enough to
secure US against being put on short
rations, and do not forget that other
wise we may be, this very year."

they had no sugar and had had none
for some time. The Food Administra-
ton is now in possession of the off
cial data upon which to base a proper
distribution of the incoming sugar.
The peculiar psychology Of the sugar
situation is demonstrated by the fact
that when people are assured that
there is plenty Of a certain commodity
and are permitted to see it for them
selves they accept the situation ra-
tionally and boarding Is likely to cease.
Sugar, -four, coffee, tea and all food
stuffs, in the distribution of which the
transportation problem enters, should
be used carefully during the period of
the war, and nothing should be wasted
or used in unnecessary quantities.

BUILDINGS WHILE YOU WAIT;
APPLY TO THE RED CROSS
Portable Houses Shipped to Any Part
of France on q Few Hours
Notice.

The American Red Cross in France
has established q record for home
building. A call came to Paris from
somewhere in France" for three bar
racks. The Red Gross was told that
it would take the workmen at least
five days to erect one building. With
in that time the Red Cross workers
had all three buildings up and ready
for occupancy. They employed just
% men on the Job.
Red Cross officials determined some
time ago to place "in stock" a number
of portable or demountable barracks
for immediate use wherever they
might be desired.
1t was discovered that Swiss man.
ufacturer had on hand 43 buildings
that were not needed by the Italian
army, for which they had been con-
structed.
The Red Cross Immediately con-
tracted for the entire number, obtain
ed them and now can ship a home for
40 people to any part Of France on a
few hours notice and erect it in less
than two days. 1t has even supplied
the United States army with ten of
these buildings for immediate use.
The buildings are unique in COM
struction. Each weighs about five tons
and can be easily shipped in one
freight car. Unlike many demountable
or "knock-down" buildings, these are
absolutely rain and weather proof,
thus assuring adequate protection in
unreasonable weather to refugees. hos

FORBID KILLING OF POULTRY.

Hartford.-That the ruling made by
the Unite States Food Administration
the killing and selling of
egg laying poultry between February
II aud May 1 was wise is already
proven by statistics which have
reached Connecticut from other parts
of the country. The egg supply of
Kentucky and Tennessee alone will be
Increased 2,25O,O00 dozen of eggs as a
result of the prohibition against the
slaughter of hens. Since the rule was
first made it has been modified to the
extent that broilers or pullets weigh
ing less than two pounds may be killed,
and some relief has thus been afforded
to the people of the Jewish faith, VINO
have been accustomed for years to use
kosher killed fowl for the Sabbath day
dinner every Saturday. Another more
or less direct result of the Food Ad-
ministration's order is observable here
In Connecticut, where the price Of
fresh eggs has tumbled from 20 cents
to 40 or 45 cents q dozen. It is be-
Iieved that the taking over of the op-
grafton of the railroads by the federal
government has thwarted the plans of
many egg proiteers, who no longer are
able to control eastern shipments and
chose ability to maintain a corner in
the egg market was dependent upon
their success in directing egg ship
nents from outside markets.

BISHOP THOMAS GRACE
URGES CONSERVATION
RECOMMENDS WHEATLESS AND
MEATLESS DAYS BE
OBSERVED

AS part of his regulations for
Lent this year, Rt. Rev. Thomas
Grace, bishop of Sacramento, has
issued the following:
The faithful are reminded that
besides the obligation of fasting i'm
posed by the church, the season of
Lent should be in a very special
manner a time of earnest prayer,
of sorrow for sin, of generous aims
giving to the poor, and of absention
from customary amusements. /
would, moreover, urge at this time,
the recitation of prayers for our
soldiers and sailors exposed to the
dangers OF war, that they may en-
joy the Divine protection.
I'm conformity with the whole
some rules laid down by the federal
food commissioner for the period of
the war, l earnestly recommend
that Catholics of every condition
observe strictly the meatless and
wheatless days and meals specified,
and make generously whatever sac
rificas may be asked of our citizen
population for the successful prose-
cution of the war;"

ONLY SIX ALIENS
HAVE REGISTERED
TOMORROW WILL BE LAST DAY
FOR REGISTRA-
TION

To date only six un~naturalized
Germans have registered at the post
office as required by law and Post
master Helen Rosenthal has again
called the attention of persons
whose registration Is required under
the "alien enemy" law to the fact
that tomorrow is the last day to reg
lister. Although no estimate has
been made of the number of I'M
naturalized Germans in the coun-
ty, it is regarded as probable that
there are more than six.
Although the name of the first
registrant was published here, the
general publication of the names of
registrants is not permitted.

Money Advanced for Road

The recorder of Elko county has
received word from the secretary of
agriculture that the government has
acted favorably on the report of en-
gineers and has set aside $48,906 to
be expended in the construction of
a road from Elko to Carlin, work to
start in the spring. This sum will
be the governments share in the
work and it is estimated the total
cost will be $4,000. Government
surveyors finished their work on the
route, which is now entirely staked.

FIND MANGANESE
NEAR GOlCONDA
HUMBOLDT COUNTY HAS LARGE
DEPOSITS OF IRON
ORE

The discovery of a mammoth de-
post Of manganese ore hos lateis
been made in the Golconda district
by w. S. O'Brien, j. Tucker and L.
Tucker, residents of that section. the
find was made near Adelaide canyon,
about IL miles south of Golconda'
and is covered by a number Oh 10
cations. A large lot of samples IL
the black ore were brought to Win
nemucca Wednesday by Mr.. O'Brien
and the Tucker brothers and tests
made at the Winnemucca assay office
gave results of 81 per cent man
ganese.
In speaking of the find O'Br1en
stated that the discovery was made
on the goth of January and so far
they have traced the outcrop for
about 1900 feet, an average width OF
over 20 feet being shown.
The Golconda section is noted for
manganese deposits and a number Of
other large bodies of the mineral
have been located in the district.
Some of them are under development
and shipments are being made.
The demand for manganese ore at
the present time Is due to its use in
making steel. At the present time
much of the manganese ore used
comes from Brazil.
During the past few months a
large number of samples of man
ganese ore have been left at the
Star office, and from information
brought in, Humboldt county has
enough of this ore in close proximity
to shipping points to supply the iron
industry of the country with millions
of tons.-Humboldt Star.

MacNamara Nj. & nj. Co.

IldCIN hIklhEb Va 1" WI w.
The weekly report of the Mac
Namara mine discloses the fact that
mining operations are continuing
on a large scale, and that work is
being prosecuted from three differ
emit levels on the Lower vein, from
which a substantial tonnage of
milling grade ore is being broken
and shipped to the mill.
The north cross-cut on the 100
foot level, which is underneath the
Ohio vein, was advanced 80 feet
during the week, making a total
distance of 80 feet. Raises will be
put up from this cross-cut at vari-
Gus points to connect with the vein
above. This is made possible on
account of the vein being very flat.
These raises will greatly facilitate
the mining of this flat vein, and
will be the means of handling large
tonnages therefrom.
Cash Boy Cons.
Much anxiety as to the future
prospects of the Cash Boy Con-
solidated Mining company was felt
during the week by the numerous
stockholders of the company, when
it was diligently circulated that the
Tonopah Extension Mining company
was claiming apex right on the vein
recently discovered on the 1600-foot
level, at a point about 10 feet
south of the winze bottom of the
Cash Boy.
The rumor was the cause of
many blocks of stock being thrown
on the market, in consequence of
which Cash Boy receded from its
high mark of 10 cents per share,
to a low of 10 cents.
West End Cons.
The final cleanup of January
was made last week at the mill of
the West End Consolidated Mining
company, and resulted in the ship
ment on February 4th of 32 bars
of bullion weighing 60,963 ounces.
According to conservative estimates
the bullion is worth approximately
$~64.011.15.
The announcement of the divi-
dend by the West End company,
was a pleasant surprise to the
many stockholders of the company,
who have maintained their faith in
the property even through times
when conditions, both in mining and
in financial circles, were rather
dark.
The West End company, for sew
eral years past, has had a satisfac-
tory surplus upon which to draw in
the event of emergencies, and now
1t appears to be in a position, lar
gely through the recent immense
disclosures of ore in its Ohio
ground, to continue regular divi-
dends for a long time to come
The Ohio ~orebody is so vast that
1t Is certain that mining operations
will be continued on it for many
months, If indeed not years; and
in addition, the higher prices now
being paid for the principal pro-
duct of the mine-silver-enables
the company to utilize much of the
lower grade ores that were formerly
separated from the milling quality
material.-Tonopah Miner.

At the. Halifax Tonopah Mining
company's property, work is going
ahead steadily on the 1000 and
12OO-foot levels. The work on the
first named level consists of a
drift. and cross-cut. The drift is
making progress on a high-grade
stringer of ore, while the c~ross-cut
was extended the usual distance
during the week, with no particular
change showing in its face. A
stringer of ore was cut in the cross
cut on the 12O0-foot level on
Thursday, but so far there has been
