About week later the same officer
sent this man ashore to get him some
cigarette papers, and as he did not
have any change he gave him a $50
bill.
The man came staggering back
with a case on his shoulder.
"What have you got there?'' asked
the officer.
Cigarette papers," came the reply.
"You didn't say how many, sir. You
gave me the bill and said, Get me

ARRASCADA LIQUOR CASE NOW
BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT

The respondents brief in the case
wherein Y. Arrascada has applied to
the supreme court for a writ of
habeas corpus, has been filed in the
clerks office by District Attorney
Thomas E. Powell of Humboldt
county. In a raid a few months ago
the Humboldt county authorities
seized nearly two hundred cases of
whiskey said to belong to Arrascada,
who was subsequently tried for viola
ton of the Nevada prohibition law,
convicted and sentenced to serve nine
months in Jail and to pay a fine of
$3.50. In addition to applying for a
writ or habeas corpus, Arrascada's at
torney has also applied for a writ of
prohibition to prevent the destruction
of the liquor. Still another element
has developed in the case. Internal
revenue collectors want a few hun
dred of dollars extra tax on the liquor
which is now stored in the Humboldt
county Jail, or they want the booze
The sheriff does not feel inclined to
pay the extra tax, neither will he de-
liver the wet goods to the federal
authorities without orders so to do
from some court having jurisdiction
in the cas- BY the time the various
Arrascada cases are passed on nv the
supreme court several points of the
prohibition law of the state will have
been interpreted and decided.-[Car-

PLANTS AND
CONTROL Of LOSSES

An article sent out from the fores'
Service, Ogden office, captioned
Poison Plants and the Control oil
livestock Losses" follows:
The losses of livestock within the
national forests due to poisonous
plants aggregate about 5000 cattle
and 10000 sheep annually. Consider
ing the present high value Of botn
sheep and cattle 1t is OF great inn
portance to control or prevent the
losses so far as possible. The Forest
Service has accomplished a great
deal within the past few years in way
of larkspur eradication.
The principal poisonous plants on
he ranges are TIE locos and lupines
of the pea family, to which also be-
long the alfalfas and vetches; water
hemlock or poison parsnip OF the
parsley family, which also includes
the much relished vegetable celery;
death camas which resembles wild
onion, of the bunchfiower family; and
the much dreaded larkspurs of the
crowfoot family, of which the butter
cup and peony are familiar repre-
sentatives.
The distribution of these plants is
wide over Western ranges and with
the exception of larkspur they are
considered poisonous to all classes
of stock. The locos probably cause
more damage to livestock than any
other singles group of plants. The
larkspur, which causes excessive
losses among cattle in the Great
Basin region and which ranks next
to the locos, is worthy of special on
sideration.
Various methods of preventing seri-
! GUS losses by eliminating larkspur
have been tried. Grazing larkspur
patches by sheep (since it is not
poisonous to this class of stock), con-
struction of fences to hold cattle off
| infested areas, and g%rubbing, have
been resorted to. The latter method
has been found most effective.
In grubbing, the main roots must
be cut out to a depth of about six
| 20 eight inches below the ground sur
lace. This practice has yielded re-
suits of great economic value.
A mattock with the spur cut off and
| the blade drawn to about nine inches,
| or a ~grubbing hoe having a similar
blade, have been found effective in
digging out the plants. For rocky
soils, a pick with n end fiattened
to a width of about two inches, or a
pick-mattock having a nine-inch
blade, is recommended.
The cost Of grubbing varies from
about $3.50 to $1,000 per acre, accord
ing to the accessibility of the patches.
type of soil and number of plants per
acre.
Between 1915 and 1917 more than a
quarter of a million acres of cattle
range were freed Of tall larkspur at
a cost Of $1,000. Cattle valued at
nearly $4,000 were saved in 1917 as
a result of g~rubbing on nine national
forests.
The excellent results already real
lied through grubbing should induce
stockmen to cooperate fully with the
Forest Service in the vigorous eradi-
cation of this dangerous weed.

That this tread could be brought out first on the new larger girth cord tire makes 1t doubly at tractive purchase for car owners
 In addition to the advantages of great size and special tread, superiorities that can be seen at glance this tire has below the surface the qualities that count in rolling off the miles More rubber in the cord and between the cord layers.
 Protection, life, buoyancy quicker action Less heat, slower deterioration More miles and more months ofuse. The quick action and residence of this new Firestone Cord reduce drag on the engine and make larger percentage of it's power avail able for use.
 The first users of this new Firestone Cord tell us that nothing to equal 1t had been produced before. It is the cap sheaf on the remarkable Frestone record during the last twelve months Surprising as are the results from this tire 1t is the sort of surprise Firestone users expect.
Arizona republican., 1919-07-06

This tire is just another naturalization of the Firestone idea-travel on rubber at lowest cost, or, briefly stated most miles per dollar. That is the Firestone creed developed from the ideal of one man, MT. Harvey s. Frestone-an now not only the working rule of his organization but the guidepost of the whole industry.
 The fact that over 909o of the Firestone workers own stock in the Company adds practical angle to the working out of that idea that every car own CT will understand. It means that the entire or ganization is intent on making Frestones earn first place. Most miles per dollar is earning it. In this bigger better cord tire the Fmestone buid CTS have put their best You are entitled to the economy, comfort and satisfaction which that means. Good dealers are ready for your demand now

 NJ it's newer, larger standard of size and with A it's new tread. Car owners will be interested to know that they can secure immediate delivery of this improved Firestone Cord
 The discussion regarding this tire has centered about its two most noticeable features: larger size and new tread.
 When the tire industry approved larger tires in each rated size Firestone decided to build the largest the industry would endorse. You'll be impressed by the extra girth and air capacity of these Firestone Cord Tires. And you'll see for the first time the new 1.-the cross and square construction.
 This represents the work of Firestone engineers over a long period. The angles of this tread pro- vide against side slip or skid. With toehold in mud or snow for traction, it moves forward easily, withno suction hollows retarding progress or con slming extra power.
