Attractive Features.

The appeal of the British Offering to
exporters lies in the desire to continue
the present large volume of internal
tional trade, Great Britain normally
being the largest purchaser of food and
materials from the United States, this
trade being dependent on extension OF
foreign credits. The loan likewise Ap-
peals to importers, giving them a call
on sterling exchange, the medium used
by our importers in paying for goods
normally bought in Great Britain for
consumption in this country. BY buying
the ten year bond the importer obtains
a call for more than nine years on
pounds, which works out somewhere In
the neighborhood of 4.20 against the
parity of 4.S665. the former figure al
lowing for the Issue price of the dollar
obligations and the present price in
London of the sterling bonds into which
they are convertible. The importer who
las the opportunity to make payment
for later importations at about 4.20 nat
rally will be able to buy more cheaply
than his competitor. who must pay the
going rate of exchange, which will rise
toward parity In proportion to England
recovery of her share of world trade.
The latest figures indicate that British
exports are gaining faster than British
imports despite high prices Of foodstuffs
and cotton. The more British exports
increase, other factors remaining I'M
changed, the more the value of the
pound sterling In other markets will tend
to Increase. The yields Of the British
securities are attractive in themselves,
but the feature of a gamble In exchange
which Is almost heads l win tails you
lose proposition increases the desirable
ity. particularly OF the ten year bonds.

American Smelling and Refining.

On a turn over of approximately 10000
shares the stock of the American Smelt-
Ing and Refining Company slid yesterday
down some points to low OF 60. Most
OF this decline occurred late In the after
noon and took traders by surprise. Sew
eral rumofs were current to account for
the downward movement but the only
enc to which much credit was attached
was to the effect that the directors OF
the company would pass the dividend In
their regular quarterly session earb In
November. In supporter this theory 1t
was pointed OUT that the smelling COM
pany has somewhere between s25.000,0 900
and s30.000.000 in cash tied up in metal
of all kinds which 1t has taken for resale.
The copper market to say nothing of the
market for lead. zinc and other metals
which II Is holding, has not been very
good for considerable time and the COM
pany Is said to be in bad way for cash.
The dividends paid by the company in
the last twelve years have been rather
erratic, 7 per cent being paid in 1906

Mrs, ]. LaWtOn Butler Dead

Mrs. John Lawton Butler died at
Berkeley Saturday afternoon after a
short illness from influenza. She
was stopping at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. Victor Barndt, and the
end came with such suddenness that
the family in Hot Creek, Nye County,
knew nothing Of the sickness until
the death message was received.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Marie Williams, and as a girl often
visited friendsin Eureka. Mrs. But
Ter was born in Nye County 36 years
ago and spent her childhood with her
parents at the old home at Hot
Creek until she was sent to school in
the East and then finished at college.
She was the daughter of Mrs. Sophia
Williams and a sister of the late
Joseph Williams whose untimely
death last year was universally re-
GREETED. She was SO years of age
and leaves two children, Louise,
aged 16 and LaWton. aged IA.

ARE YOU DOING YOUR PART?

Many months ago the American
Red Cross sent out pledge cards to
every member of the Red Cross, and
to others asking that each subscribe
a certain amount, payable monthly.
until the close of the war. The Red
Cross stated at that time that they
would not ask for more to be given.
They have kept their word, and the
pledges ceased to live after Novem-
Der. 1918.
But, the American Red Cross en-
dors es the drive that is on for the aid
of the dying, starving people of the
near east, and favors each and every
member giving his limit for that
purpose.
Through Act of Congress a Nation
al Committee was created and official
ly appointed to handle this work,
just as official as the Red Cross; the
two are twin sisters in mercy and
kindness to the world. A transport
sails this week from New York load
ed with the first shipment of supplies
and food.
Starvation! How little we know
about it! Where is one who reads
this appeal who was ever really
hungry in his life! Mrs. Fisher,
just returned from the starving
countries, tells of one baby, six
months old whose mother persisted
while fleeing from the Germans, and
which had been fed for two months
on nothing but grass which its father
had first chewed and then fed to it.
Little babies lying on the streets by
the side of or upon the bodies of
their dead mothers, crying for food.
America is not feeding the Ger
mans; they will be obliged to buy
their foodstuffs, but the innocent are
suffering there. Picture your child
in their places and then figure on
what you can give.
In Eureka County this drive for
relief purposes has been included
| with the United War Fund Drive and
| the county is still over Five Hundred
short on it's quota.

tors we're published, the following

recommended. Wider authority for
the health officials is urged. Slot
machines and race-track gambling
and betting should be forbidden, the
message says. Opportunity to effect
some consultations of commissions
and official works is seen, with bene-
fetal promise in some Eases An &C.
tive program for reclamation and
good roads in harmony with the De-
partment of the Interior and of Agri-
culture is recommended. Most of
the advances are contingent on Fed
eral proposals not yet outlined, but
it is urged that elastic legislation be
made to fit contingencies. even in
S proposals r later had from the
National government.
The present industrial and material
state of the Nation is treated of at
length and in detail with definite
prediction of the probable course in
the next few months.

lature adopted a resolution ratifying
