ROCKEFELLER AYERS
TAXES ARE TOO HIGH

John d. Rockefeller, Sr., has pro-
tested against his New York tax as
sessment of $5.0OO.O00. This is the
second time that Mr.. Rockefeller has
objected to paying his personal as
sessment, and in the present instance
he claims that he has been making
gift to the city of taxes on $3,000,00O
for some years. Under the admins
tration of Mayor Mitchell, Mr.. Rookie
feller's personal assessment was
raised to $1O.OOO.O00. At that time he
swore that his assessable holdings in
the city did not exceed $2,000,O00. but
agreed to pay an assessment on $5,-
900, 1000.
The Rockefeller attorneys informed
the tax board that Mr.. Rockefeller no
longer cares to make gilt to the city
of taxes on $3.O00.000 of property
which he does not possess.

UNLAWFUL TO VEND
BREWING FORMULAS

Persons or concerns who supply
formulas for the manufacture of IN
toxicating beverages are liable to
prosecution under the Federal laws,
according to notices sent out recently
by the bureau of internal revenue.
The bureaus bulletin says:
Numerous concerns are advertis-
ing and selling formulas for making
intoxicating liquor in the home, and
in some cases are advertising and
selling packages containing recipes
and the necessary ingredients.
Prohibition enforcement officers
have been directed to visit all persons,
firms and corporations engaged in
such business and advise them that
they will be subject to prosecution If
their formulas are used in the manu-
facture of liquor by the purchasers
thereof.
"The acts of August 10, 1917, and
November 21. 1918, forbid all manu-
facture of distilled spirits and malt
and vinous liquors for beverage pur-
poses until the conclusion of the pres
ent war and thereafter till the termi-
nation of rehabilitation. Persons
manufacturing in their homes for pri-
vate consumption such liquors are
subject to the penalties of these acts
and the national prohibition act, and
are liable also to penalties and taxes
imposed by internal revenue.
THE bureau of internal revenue
holds that persons who sell or adver-
tise formulas and ingredients for the
manufacture of intoxicating liquor are
influencing others to violate the law.
and are subject, therefore. to prose-
cution under the criminal CODE"

were the sole conversations.

tives in this community. He came

a time in Leach's canyon. near here,
where his father was engaged in
teaming and conducting dairy. The
Indians attacked party living near
by. and che Leach family moved to
Unionville for safety.
1t was at Unionville that Leach was
educated. Growing up in the cattle
business he worked as rider for his
father until he came to Winnemucca.
1t was here that he married Miss
Susan Mulcoy in 1902.

BUYERS Of LIBERTY
BONDS NEGLECTFUL

More than $4,000 worth of First
Liberty Loan bonds, with accrued in.
terest amounting to nearly $4,000, are
going begging for rightful owners in
the Federal Reserve bank of San
Francisco. The bank has had these
bonds for more than two years. 1t.

given interim certificates in lieu of
the bonds during the first loan, take:
steps to surrender the certificates at
once in exchange for the bonds.

Loan the actual bonds were not ready,
for distribution and the interim GER,
tificates were issued. These, however.
bear no interest, so that persons:

serve district who are holding Interim
certificates should communicate with

that the exchange may be made at

five cents a pound ON the range next
spring"
Representativ C. r. Evans forwards
forwards from Washington the fol-
lowing letter from Boston:
Harry Hartley. representing the
British government in its plan to sell
at auction in Boston great weights of
Australian woods, has been advised
by his government that it is the pres
ent intention to ship no further guam
titles of Australian wools to the
United States for sale by auction.
The crossbreds already shipped are in
amount between $4,000 and $4,000
bales. qualities from 58s downward
When they are disposed of, more OF
similar quality will be shipped here
for public sale.
mo announcement has been madc
as to whether or not Great Britain
will continue to ship fine woods TO
be auctioned here. The Westmeath
due here December 10. carries 1900
bales, mostly merinos. None of tho
woods will be ready for sale until mex
year Frank Windeler and Mr.. Goidie
the latter replacing Mr.. Thomas, both
sailed on the Adriatic, November Is. tc
arrange for the wool auction.
THE decision of Great Britaif
doubtless was arrived at following
the receipt of reports from Mr.. Hart
ley and Colonel Vernon Wiley that
this market was glutted with cross
bred wools, but was clean of fine
qualities, and that considerable oppo
sition, including protests in Congress
had arisen since the decision to send
wool here was made some months
ago. Also. 1t is believed that Great
Britain was Influenced by the fact
that crossbred woods are bringing
higher prices in other countries than
can be realized in America

BY SECRETARY Of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
GREAT BRITAIN ABOUT WOOL
UNITED sTATEs-FINDS THAT PRICES MAY BE HAD

The condition of the wool market
this week certainly is encouraging
for many Nevada people, and ought
to make those dependent upon this
industry feel reasonably free about
''loosening up" to spend money for
a Christmas celebration. Information
coming to hand during the week in
dicates that those buyers who con-
tracted for clips at fifty cents have
made a mighty good deal.
Declaring that the outlook for good
wool prices next spring is increasing
every day, and that the encouraging
state of the Eastern wool market in
dicates that growers will obtain more
for their clips than ever before, DR.. S
w. Mcclure. secretary of the National
Wool Growers Association. with
headquarters at Salt Lake City, gives
1t as his opinion that Western half
blood wool will sell on the range in
1920 for seventy-five cents pound.
A few days ago DR.. Mcclure re
ported that more wool changed hands
in Boston in one week than in any
week since 1914 except during the
auction sales. Referring to the East
ern market situation. he said that
strong demand had developed foi

most commonly produced in the West

This is a point in favor of our part
OF the country. 1t has been my opin

will sell for more than the price re-
ceived last year. and recent events

The state departments announce

Secretary Robert Lansing, chairman

posed any attempt to bring the former

no law which such an offender could
be reached by the conference, and that
it would be contrary to the constitu-
ton of the United States for the
American delegates to participate in
the execution Of a sort Of international
ex post facto law at that time. b
However, it was proposed to charge
criminal and military offenses, and il

WHAT DOES YOUR CAR COST?

A committee appointed at the recent
farm bureau conference at University
Farm has decided that 8A cents a
miles shall be the standard rate for
the reimbursement of county agents
for official automobile mileage in
1919. This figure is based on reports
OF costs of operation submitted by sc
county agents. The average for 48
cars OF a small popular type was 7.6
centsamile; theaver agefsorthe hrd shr
cents a mile; the average for the
other Is was 10.5 cents. County
agents may secure modification of
the allowance, when justified, by ap-
pealing to the executive committee of
the county farm bureau and to the
assistant county agent leader. .

sible for the war.
... Germany to Assist.
Germany now will be required to as
sist the Allies in running down the
guilty ones and this provision, if
adopted, will force the German peace
delegates to admit the responsibility
of the former regime for the war and

time.
Not only perpetrators of outrages in
Belgium and France, but the thous-

man secret service and her efficient
espionage service and scores Of spy
plots in the United States would be
run down. ~sEn.~
All Criminal Acts Covered.
Especially significant is Article III
which provides military trial for those
guilty of criminal acts against citizens
of Allied countries. This would extend
to the hundreds of military officials
who took part in the ruthless reign of
the sword in Belgium. There is some
doubt as to how far the provisions
would extend, especially whether they

customs of wars. Whether this
would reach those responsible for in

WILL TRAIN THRESHERMEN.

The new threshermen's school to be
opened at University Farm St, Paul,
June 16, and to continue for one week,
has been arranged for as means of
training threshermen to stop the
wasteful operation of threshing ma
chimes. Last year on the average 5
bushels of wheat, worth about $40, and
9 bushels of oats, worth about $3.50
were wasted every day by every ma
chine in operation in Minnesota.
