Numerous Rubber Plants.

There are nearly two hundred differ
ent kinds of plants which carry rub
Der, and they are still under investi-
cation by botanists. While the plants
are found for the most part in the
arid portions of the Great Basin coun-
try Of eastern California and Nevada,
rubber-producing shrub has been locat-
ed as far north as Washington and
Idaho and as far east as Colorado and
south to our southern boundary.
Whether or not these plants will be
brought under cultivation is ques-
ton which can only be answered after
many years of study and experiment
tation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In response to requests for informa-
ton, the bureau Of public roads Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture has collected from the highway de-
partments of the various states figures
indicating the profitable number of re-
turned soldiers and sailors that can be
used during 1919 in road construction
and repair work. Of the 38 states re-
plying only 20 gave definite figures.
They report they can use II 1897 soldiers
and sailors as skilled labOrers, and 91,-
9O4 as unskilled. Under the head of
skilled labor the state highway de-
partments were asked to report on the
requirements for masons, carpenters,
quarry bosses, concrete finishers, road
foremen, roller men and superintend-
ents. Unskilled laborers were not
separated into classes.
The states that have thus far given
definite figures, with the estimated
number of men that may be used, are:

Geraniums In the House.

Geraniums are among the house
plants which like a rather high tenn
perature and sun all day long. On the
other hand, they dislike overmuch wa
ter and thrive best In pots which are
rather small. 1t is important to keep
them pinched back, too. so that they
will be short and stalky. This kind
of plant blooms much better than one
which has been allowed to grow tall
and leggy, as the florists say.

A good garden is very useful for

way you may have nice vegetables,

LINCOLN IN LONDON.

Inc long controversy over the Peace Centen-
ary Lincoln statue, to stand in the Canning en-
closure in Westminster, London. has now been
settled by the decision of the British committee
accepting the Saint Gaudens copy as "most suit
able for erection in the chosen site" The Bar
nard statute is also accepted, but for erection in
some other English city,
This gives the place Of honor to the statue
most deserving of it and originally selected for
the Westminster site, while providing a place
for the Barnard work AS Lincoln himself
might say, for people who like that kind of art,
that is the kind of art they will like, and will 90
to see, even if it requires special journey. But
the important thing is that London will possess
as its conspicuous statue of Lincoln, an artistic
effigv of the great president exempifying his
dignity and strength of character beneath his
and not one merely accentuating
physical unganliness. If the Saint Gaudens
work idealizes Lincoln, is public opinion which
also idealizeS him likely to object to the scup-
tors conception? AT least the grosser. fault of
caricature is avoided.
Certainly the final outcome of the contro-
versy iustifies those who protested against the
Barnard statute as misrepresenting Lincoln un-
der any canons of art. A curious light is thrown
on the agitation by the poll of the American
Centenary committee showing only one mem
Der frankly in favor of the Barnard statue as
against fiftv-one opposed With informed opin-
ion so unanimous, why has there been any to-do
about the matter?

The investigation which did follow the feed

specific problems must be determined at the
meeting. 1t is struggle toward deciding those
means that is agitating the entire countries.
The danger is not in the fact that there is
such discussion. It is rather that, if the discus
sion is too long drawn out within the various
lands, without balancing factor in presentation
officially of the viewpoint of others, there may
grow up settled popular conviction that such
and such plan is the just and right way out
All the national aspirations and desires ought to
be presented as near together as possible This
can best be done at the conference and through
its published reports given to the people, When
that is done there will be less danger of dissen-
sion than there is now when each statesman is
acting as his own interpreter of the needs of
peace and stirring up his hearers to the same
views.
AS soon as the whole situation is laid before
the delegates in Paris, and the world allowed to
see what is in the minds of all, then the under
lying justice of President Wilson'S program will
become increasingly evident and the minor de-
tails fall into order along the web of the master
plan

HURRY THE CONFERENCE DATE

Inc London Guardian has discovered what
has been arousing some comment here recently,
that President Wilson's program of peace,
though accepted by Great Britain prior to the
end of the war, does not seem to be entirely
swaying the aims and motives of the British
statesmen today. Sectional and purely nation
alistic demands, it says are now being pute for
ward with a view to their adoption in the peace
conference and it adds that President Wilson
could not have been in Paris long before he dis
covered this fact.
For the benefit of the Guardian it might be
said that President Wilson knew this before he
went to Paris. He knew it the day Great Britain
accepted the fourteen peace points. X was ineyi
table that every nation on the Allied side should
have some "purely nationalistic" demands to,
make. Unless this had proved true the millennium
indeed would have arrived For, be it understood
there is not doubt that poll of America itself
would reveal great many nationalistic demands
entertained among the people Of this country
It is human nature. The trouble is that these
demands are not all reconcilable. If those of one
land were granted, those Of another might have
TO be denied The only thing that President VIII
son coald do WAS the thing he did--draft broad
principles which would be acceptable as basis

SAMPLE PRORLEMS-

Danzig, which is said to have been occupied
by Poland by $4,000 troops, is fair sample of
many insOlTble problems that will confront the
Versailles Peace CONGRESS- and advisory bodies
Danzig was an old German Hanse town 1t
became Polish, and in 300 years acquired and
held c strong Polish character. For more than
100 wears it has been Prussian.
1t is easy to say that boundaries should be
left as they are; or that it will be no worse for
100000 Germans to be included in modern
Poland than it has been for 1000, 900 mistreat-
ed Poles to be included in modern Prussia: or
that the 100000 Germans might be left Ger
man, with Danzig Polish free port to serve
their trade, but entirely cut off from Germany
by Polish territory
The fact remains that any possible solution
is going to leave millions of people in the region
affected. and tens of millions elsewhere, in acute
dissatisfaction and that other problems as deli
cate promise to leave other rredentist Islands

RECORD LODE STRIKES
 BIG VEIN RICH ORE

A report came to Kingman yester- day that the Record Lode had cut its vein on the 800 level, crossing over 20 feet of vein matter, eight feet of which runs better than S2S. The company only recently resumed work on the property, after shutdown of several months.
 1.-The Record Lode is situated in the Silver Creek section, about five miles west of Goldroad and the same dis tance from Oatman, by road. It was of this section that F. c. Schrader, the we'll known peologist, said that if~good ore was found in one of its veins it was sure to carry to un- known depth. The vein is contig- uous to the Jack Pot and other claims owned by R. J. Holmes, and some little distance from the old Hardy mines. The company is said to be we'll financed and capable of carrying on the necessary work to open up the new ore body.

GOLD DUST OPERATING
 WITH TWO SHIFTS MINERS

The Gold Dust mine, near Oat- man, is now operating with two shifts of miners. This is the prop erty that was at one time operated by A. L. White, of the White sewing machine company, and upon which a large milling plant was built. It was said by the management at the time of the discontinuance of work that there was big tonnage of mill ing ore above the 300 level but the vein was found somewhat broken be- low that level and White would not sink the shaft to lower level. Much of the machinery was removed to the Ben Harrison mine, near Bak- CT City, Oregon, where it is said a big dividend payer was opened by White, under the management of Walter Fellows, who had charge of Whites activities in this county.
 Since the new company obtained possession of the property surround ing ground was added and we believe 8 good mine will be found if the work is prosecuted on the parent vein to greater depth. The equipment is a1l new and especially designed for deep sinking.

DUDLEY TAXES RURAL
 OLD TIME BONANZA

M. B. Dudley and New York as sociates have taken over the famous old Rural mine, at Mineral Park, Already a hoisting plant has been placed on the property and the work of unwatering the property is under way.
 The Rural mine was discovered in the latter part of the eghties and op- erated for a number of years sue cessfully, although the management was in the hands of inexperienced people. Mike Dunn was the discov- erer of the mine, the late T. J. Chris tie being associated with him in the property. During the first year or two after its discovery it produced some of the richest silver ore ever taken from a mine in any part of the world and specimens from it adorn practically every mineral cabinet of note in the country. Solid native sil- yer six and eight inches thick, with masses of tangled wires covering it were taken out and later passed in to mineral displays. Thousands of dollars worth of this rich ore was given away by the owners, who cared little for the specimens. The main ore body carried high values in gold as we'll as silver.
 The shaft was sunk to a depth of 200 feet and miners who worked in the property when operations were discontinued claim that rich ore still showed at that point. We are of the opinion that as good ore will be found at greater depth.
 The Rural is situated in the north ern part of Mineral Park basin, close under the shadow of Sherums Peak. It is in a locality where rich silver and gold ore has been found in prac- tically all the veins and produced from the shallow depth fully $100,OO0 in ore. The vein is not large, but it surely put all other mines of the camp in the shade when it came to values. Mr. Dudley intends to clear out the shaft and drifts and get some idea of the condition of the property before sinking another lift on it.
