All of which foregoing telegram is
one way of telling Miss Ohmert she
has been selected for work designated
War Personnel Board, Women's Di-
vision. National War Work Council of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions of the United States" That she
is to be sent to France is not GER
tain, but highly probable.
Contrary to general assumption, the
work Miss Ohmert will perform is not
paid for by the YMCA. The General
Federation OF Women's Clubs Is fin
ancing the work. having taken over
some OF the YMC.A huts in France.
Miss Ohmert's unit will be engaged in
"Furlough Houses canteen
entertainment service for soldiers on
furlough.
While attending the conference Miss
Ohmert will be required to reside at
Barnard. in places designated by the
Y.MC.A. She, with the others ap-
pointed for the unit, will be under
semi-military discipline.
"A great opportunity" is the way
Miss Ohmert feels about the subject
Even though she is not assured she
will go TO France. still she considers
the chance well worth giving up her
position here and journeying to New
York. Her passport is being made out
before County Clerk Davey today.

FARR|S DISCUSSES
EVENTS AT Carson

Assemblyman George Farris is in
town and spending as much time as
possible talking over legislative mat
ters with his constituents. He will go
to Reno tomorrow night, and be at
Carson Monday morning. Mr.. Farris
gives high praise to d. J. Fitzgerald
OF Nye county. present speaker of the
Assembly, and also to ]. II. Causten,
the clerk, who is well known as a
mining man formerly at Rochester and
National. He declares both these gen.
tlemen are making records for them
selves. Mr.. Farris arrived in Winnie
mucca Friday morning.
Mr.. Farris does not believe the Boo
her anti-gambling bill, which was re-
ported out from committee yesterday
without recommendation, will pass the
Assembly. His observation of senti-
ment in Carson is that the bill is con-
sidered too drastic q measure. 1t
might even be construed as making it
illegal for a man to have deck of
cards in his possession; and as for
social card clubs-nothing doing.
The distinctly Reno prize-fight bill
he believes has a chance, as also the
measure relating to horse racing.
Those who are working for these OBJ
jects will naturally try to help kill
the measure which is against cards
so strongly.
Naturally, he said. many people are
inquiring how Mrs. Hurst took the
thing when she was informed regard
ing the realities OF badger fight.
He says the first woman member OF a
Nevada legislature was game. and
laughed at herself as heartily as she
was laughed at by others.
The Humboldt Asesmblyman be-
lieves there will be no delay at all in
passing the bill for s150,000 bonds for
construction of new court house.
He will carry with him, on his return
to Carson, six copies of the bill pro-
viding for the bond issue, three TO be
used in the Assembly and three in the
Senate.
Mr.. Farris' brother-in-law, f. II.
Beal of Minneapolis. is about town
with him. Mr.. and Mr.. Beal are on a
visit In the West and are likely to re-
main in this country. Mr.. Beal was
at one time hotel keeper at Roches-
ter.

SOME NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OVER
PLANS FOR NEW COURT HOUSE

1t appears that some misapprehen-
sion has arisen over the designs sub
mitted for the Humboldt county court
house by Architect DeLongchamps.
1t is stated by the architect that his
plans call for building constructed
of the same material on all four sides.
In some way the impression was en-
tertained by some people that the
front only, or front and one side, were
to be decorated in the manner shown
in the drawing. Mr.. DeLongchamps
SAYS this is entirely a mistake.

EARNINGS OF CLUB MEMBERS
Indiana Boys and Girls Spend Bigger
Part Of Savings for Liberty Bonds
and Stamps.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
What do club boys and girls do with
the money they earn In their work.
1t is a question frequently asked by
persons who have read Of their prof.
its. The question was asked approx
mately $50 boys and girls at the first
annual club roundup Of Indiana boy
and girl club members, held recently
at Purdue university In cooperation
with the United States department OF
agriculture. It was found that 50 OF
those present owned Liberty bonds,
which they had purchased with their
own earnings; 100 had War Savings
stamps; and practically every one had
bought Thrift stamps. Thirty-one had
started bank accounts with the money
they had made In raising corn, pigs,
calves or poultry, selling canned prod
ucts, or from some other branch OF
club work. .Eighty-five owned pigs, AZ
owned calves, 20 owned sheep, and 81
owned poultry. Definite plans to ut
tend college by use Of money from club
work had been made by 1T. 1t was
found that of the $50 attending tho
Injecting, 176 had been engaged In 'ciut
work two years; 20, three years; y
four years, and four, five years. !.

A guide for teachers and pupils Of
elementary rural schools in the study
Of potatoes has been published by the
United States department Of agrichl-
ture as Bulletin 7S4, Lessons on Po-
tatoes for Elementary Rural Schools"
The potato is good subject for study,
says the bulletin, because Of its I'M
portance of food. wide range Of grow
Ing territory and its possibilities for
home project work.
The bulletin contains IL lessons, in
GLIDING the selection of seed potatoes
IN the field, harvesting and grading,
marketing, winter storage, judging, tu-
Der and plant structure, place Of po-
tatoes In the rotation soils (kind,
preparation, fertilizers), planting and
seed treatment, cultivation, insect
pests and diseases, and uses as food.
With each lesson Is given the sources
of material which may be studied with
the subject under discussion, illustra-
tive material that will help in its pre-
sentati0p, class exercises and practi-
cal exercises.
Study Different Stages.
AS potatoes may be secured at any
time of the year, there is no excuse,
says the bulletin, for attempting to
study them without having at hand
specimens which represent good varie-
ties grown In the district. The po,
tatc plant in the field should be stud
led during the different stages Of de
velopment. Especially should the re-
lation of the new tubers to the seed
tuber and the root system Of the plant
be noted. If no plants are available
diagram showing the plant as q
whole will be useful. Charts showing
the composition of the potato and Its
relative food values should also be
made. Pictures clipped from bulletins

weeds and grasses that may contain
Overwhelming borers. Do this In the
late fall, winter or early spring, while
the borers are within such material
and the vegetation Is dry enough to
burn readily.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances the burning of infested plants
will require considerable labor and ex-
pense, but 1t must be remembered that
the insect seriously threstens the
corn-growing industry of America, and
that radical and effective measures
must be adopted to control 1t.

chicken house was equipped with four,
rabbit hutches designed, according to
the directions Of the United States de.
partment of agriculture. In the main
he raised Belgian hares only during
the fall, winter and early spring up to
the time of the setting season, when,
the(space occupied by the rabbits was
needed by the hens. Then he would
reduce his rabbitry to the minimum
point. In this way the rabbit quar-,
tiers provided plenty of space. by the
use of partitions, for six or more set
ting hens at time. After the hatch
ling season the owner would place'th
broody hens In the same pen with sew
eral rabbits, as the presence and hop
ping about of the rabbits would ulti-
mately break the hens Of their broodi-
ness.
Rabbits Cost Little to Keep.
The remarkable thing about these
rabblt-raising operations was that
valuable food was produced from
weeds and waste, as practically the
only feed for the rabbits was grass
clippings. wild hay and weeds. Dur
Ing the young bearing season he
would feed the does little skim
milk and small amount of oats, but
never more than one quart Of oats
week. In the course of two years
he raised and ate about IS rabbits.
weighing an average Of two pounds
apiece. All this meat was produced

tons with small expense or trouble.
Another desirable point about the
rabbits was. that they required little
care as compared with poultry. The
rabbits were fed Mt any time Of the
day or night with satisfactory re-
suits.
"It is comparatively simple mat
ter to kill and dress two rabbits In
ten minutes" remarked the suburban
ite, "but I never was able to pick
and dress single chicken In less than
double that period. My family did
not tire Of the rabbits, because as a
rule, we alternated the rabbit flesh
with chicken and other fresh meats.
The profits which I realized from my
poultry and rabbit operations came
entirely from the Belgian hares, as my
White Plymouth Rocks only about
paid expenses, since had to purchase
practically all my feed for them. How
ever, 1t Is a great convenience for a
suburbanite to have on hand two
sources of fresh meat In addition
to plentiful supply Of fresh eggs"

with direct access to 1t, are four pens
one of which is used for small chick

Chiggers, harvest mites, or "red

chickens having a free range, especial
ly IL It includes low-lying land, are the
most liable to suffer from these para

causing an intense itching, and abcess-
es may be found where clusters Of
mites are feeding. These abcesses are
sometimes third Of an inch in diane

nation. The birds become droopy, re-
fuse to eat, and may die from hum

seed can be profitably grown that as
many acres Of clover be left Tor seed
as can be used without seriously In
terfering with crop rotation. If the
second crop is to be left for seed, the
possibility Of good crop will be
greatly increased If the first crop Is
cut early. This is especially true If
there is any danger from the clover
flower nudge. Early cutting Of the
first crop may result In a smaller ton
mage Of hay and hay not quite as
nutritious, but It will destroy the
nudge. If the field Is badly affected
with nudge and the larvae have had
time to mature, good seed crop Is
out of the question. For further de-
tailed instruction see Farmers Bulle-
tin OIL.
In sections where mammoth clover
is grown fields intended for seed
should be rolled. This will cause the
stems to lie close to the ground. The
flower heads will then bend up and
can be harvested, leaving large part
of the clover upon the ground to be
turned under for fertilizer. This will
also reduce the amount Of straw nee
essary to handle in hulling.

Importance OF Potato.
In referring to the Importance Of the
potato, the bulletin says 1t Is one OF
the most widely cultivated Of the ag.
ricultural plants, and next to Indian
corn is the most important contribu-
ton of America to the food supply OF
the world. Probably no crop except
rice is eaten by larger number OF
people. In the more thickly populated
regions Of northern Europe the pota-
to Is now the most important Of hui
man foods, furnishing about % per
cent Of the food Of the continental and
English peoples. Only the oriental
peoples exist without 1t. Not only are
the tubers used for food, but they have
important Industrial uses. AS Ameri.
can population increases, the potato
will become more and more important
in this country, there being no other
crop which will give such large yield
of food suitable for man under such
varying conditions.
