Married Men, Read This.

A translator of the Bible into the
New Guinea tongue wanted a proper
idiom for the phrase, Ear be it from
me to do this thing" He consulted a
learned native, who replied, Il under
stand. We have the precise idiOm; we
say: May 1 speak to my mother-in-
law before I will do this thing" That
sounded rather like a joke to the trans
latOr, but it wasn't, for in that land of
strange taboos, n Of the unpardon-
able sins is for a man to open his lips
to his wife's mother.-BostOn Trans

PACKERS TO KEEP WAGE
UP YEAR AFTER PEACE

CHICAGO, April 12.-Heads of Chi
cago's five leading packing companies
today gave assurance to labor. the
government and the nation that there
would be no reduction of wages in
q their plants for at least one year after
the signing of peace.
They gave their pledge in a letter
mailed tonight to Secretary OF Labor
William B. Wilson. Their action
means that 200, 900 workers, at pres
ent receiving wartime wages-the
highest paid in the history of the
packing business-will continue to
receive not less than the present scale
during the critical first year of re-
adjustment after the peace treaty has
actually been signed, they said.
Representatives of the packing COM
panies made the announcement after
j. Ogden Armour. of Armour & COM
pany; Louis F. Swift, of Swift & Com
pany; Edward Morris, of Morris &
Company; Thomas E. Wilson. of
Wilson & Company, and E. A. Cudahy,
of Cudahy & Company. had signed the
letter to the Secretary.

Haggadah Is Historical.

The Haggadah, which will be read
at the seder services, tells how the
Jews were delivered from the slavery
of their Egyptian masters, and how
in leaving the land of Egypt they
had no time to prepare their bread.
and were forced to take with them
unleayened bread.
The festival is rich in traditions.
and each feature of the seder COM
memorates a different aspect of the
bondage of Isreal. The matzoths, at
the seder service, recall the hasty de-
l,arture from Egypt: .maror. bitter
herbs, are reminders of the bitterness
of slavery: ''haroseth," a mixture of
apples, nuts and wine, symbolizes the
clay and mortar with which the Jews
were forced to make bricks for the
Pharaohs of the Nile; the PaSchal
lamb, symboliZed by a roasted bone.
commentaries the Passover sacrifice,
and a dish of salt water is used on
these oCca sions to represent the Red
sea, through which the Hebrews pass
ed on their way to freedom. Four
cups of wine are additionally sup
posed to be drunk during the service.
but at soldier seders only grape juice
will be used.

ed to s151, ,292, beginning with

greatest expenditure, 21.3 per cent of
the whole. Public work amounted to
14-1 per cent of the total expenditures

HENDERSON INTRODUCES BILL
PROVIDING FOR MINING CLAIMS

Resuming consideration of the bill
to validate informal war contracts,
the Senate adopted an amendment by
Senator Henderson of Nevada. pro-
viding for settlement of claims grow
ing out of government stimulation of
mineral production, says an Associ-
ated Press dispatch of January 29.
The amendment was prepared at
the request of Western mining men
who claimed that many persons re-
spending to the appeal for minerals
needed in the prosecution of the wal
had invested all OF their funds, and
that the business had fallen off with
the signing of the armistice. Under
the amendment, settlement would be
made by the Secretary of the Interior

LIVESTOCK REPORT
SHOWS net Loss

The January livestock report from
the bureau of crop estimates at Salt
Lake City contains the following con-
cerning the State of Nevada:
Nevada shows increased numbers OF
all kinds of livestock except horses
and mules. which are unchanged
Horses show a decrease in average
price of SIS per head. This makes the
total value $1,125,000 less than last
Year. Mules show a decrease in price
of only So per head, which. because of
their small number, reduces the value
of last year only $4,000.
Milch cows show an increase OF
1000 head, or about per cent. This
is attributed to the high pr.ce of dairy
products and an unexpected drop in
fhe price of hay. The average price
has risen SO per head within the past
yter. The gain in total value during
the year is s346,000
Other cattle show an increase in
rumbers, slight IN perc image Dut
large in actual count because of the
importance of the State in this class
of stock. An addition of $4,000 head
to the number and 20 cents to the
average price increases the total value
$1,114,000 This is in spite Of the
price of young cattle being reported
lower than last year.
Sheep are reported as increasing
but slightly in numbers. The average
rice per lead is estimated at $2.1O
less than year ago. This makes the
total value s2,sS4.OOO less than year
go.
Swine have increased in number
5000 head. but the average price is
lower making the increase in value
over last year only $4,000.
The total value of all kinds of live
stock is $51, 1,299,o00. compared with
$53. 3.955,000 last year.

and probably it is not too much to say
that many who saw the picture last
night will want to see it again. Fatty
was ably supported in his kitchen

A grotesque Egyptian dance was no
small part of the entertainment. Good
diving from the Ocean Park lightning
racer. was also witnessed. And Fatty's
dog came in for a good part of the
applause.

of the evening, Ace High" is not par
ticularly well known in Winnemucca,
but his horsemanship and rough
house work were appreciated and he
will come more often in future.

Mems Association of Winnemucca, q
thoroughly enthusiastic public meet
ing was held in Winneva Hall lasi
Tuesday evening, to discuss a cam
paign of agitation for the removal oi
the capital of Nevada from its pres
ent inaccessible location to Winnie
mucca. the principal town near the
center of this great State.
The hall was crowded and the meet
ing was addressed by c. Z. Robins, a
former member of the Legislature
w. j. Bell, former Senator. and II. NJ
Hardy of Lovelock, former Speaker oi
the Assembly. The latter said he be-
lieved he was safe in making the as
sertion that Lovelock would do every
thing in its power the secure the
removal of the capital to Winnemucca
Other speakers were J. Sheehan
M. Reinhart, FIR. Meisekothen, j. l.
Peterson and H. X. Harvey. The SEN

than to pay half of the expense in

A resolution was adopted authoriz-
ing the chairman of the meeting to
appoint a committee of five to devise
ways and means to secure the de-
sired action of the present Legisla-

A resolution was passed by the
meeting Tuesday night, calling upon
the legislative delegation from Hum
boldt county to oppose any appropri-

NOT RAzORS, BUT
KNIVES, CLEANERS

The strange case of Robert Wiley
and the cleavers was up in district
court this morning. Wiley is accused
of stealing from a restaurant numer-
GUS things dear to the hearts of some
colored gem'men - butcher knives.
cleavers, etc. Sam Nully, formerly a
Winnemucca restsurateur, now of
Elko, was the accuser. The articles
apparently had been concealed by the
prisoner, in his clothing and else
where. Wileys explanation of the
unfortunate affair was that he had
hung his coat in the hallway of the
restaurant, and somebody must have
put the knives in his pockets.
This afternoon comes I'D the case
against Roy Roberts, charged with
burglary in a Lovelock hotel. Ex-
hibit A in this case is a worn and
ancient-looking whisk broom which,
according to defendants attorney. was
not worth stealing. But other things
are probably coming up. 1t was def
nitely stated at the court house before
the trial began that a certain waitress
at the hotel would accuse the prisoner
of entering her room and stealing
things which man would want only
to look at
Yesterday the jury in the case of
Vernon Elkins returned verdict of
guilty. This colored man will be sem
fenced at 1870 o'clock Saturday after
noon.
The Indictment against William H.
Bryant and Joseph d. Sanford, charg-
ing robbery, was dismissed by the
court yesterday. Strong sentiment
against prosecuting the young men
had arisen since the grand jury acted
in their case. and yesterday District
Attorney Powell moved the dismissal,
stating that the more important wit
nesses have left the State.
