sary to pay for the feed the hens con-
sumed during the week The follov-
ing formula is useful for determining
the exact number of eggs the hens
must lay to pay their board bill: d.
vide the price of feed per hundred by
the price Of eggs per dozen and multi
ply by three. The result is the per
cent egg yield necessary to pay for
the feed. Suppose feed costs $500
and eggs are 40c. Dividing $500 by
40c gives s, and multiplying by
gives n for the answer which means
jhat every 100 hens must lay "a eggs
q day to pay for their feed when the
above prices prevail. The foundation
for this formula is the fact that when
all feed is purchased, a hen will con-
sumo about 80 pounds a year or 4
ounces in day.

PLUMBING AND GASFITTING
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1919-11-22
MalEY clEAP

Never was foreign money 80 cheap
as now. Or. In other words. never
was American money SO valuable in
comparfson with the money of other
countries. And this in spite Of the
disastrous cheapening OF our "
money.
A few days ago the Italian Ira,
which usually exchanges at about Ave
for a dollar, went down to less than
half-10.4s lire for a dollar. This
is a lower price for the hra than in
the darkest days of the war. tf4.
The German mark, worth in ordin-
airy times about rs GEMS, dropped TO
81 and 3 la. This is almost the
lowest figure. 81
Such rates of exchange lead to the
sending of large amounts OF Amer
Jean money out Of the country. 1t
is a temptation to an Italian in Amer
lea to take his money to Italy, or send
it there, when he knows he can ex-
change a hundred dollars for more
than q thousand lire. Our ad vaior-
EN- tariff rates are practically doubled
on Italian goods.
The same things are true In great
err or less degree of the money OF all
European countries. American dol
lars are very dear when purchased
with their money. This would make
Europeans slow to import American
goods If they could get goods else
where. But the United States is now
almost the only national storekeeper;
the only country that has much to
sell.

'pR0HIsTI& AND
The SUGAR STORAGE

who would have thought that Pro
n,b,tion would bring about q short
age of sugar? That is the charge
now laid at its door.
We are certainly having an u
shortage of sugar; IS great a short
age as well as we had in the midst Oh
var when the German U-boats were
sending thousands Of tons OF sugar
TO the bottom of the e a Is THIS
shortage caused by Prohibition !
Those who think it is, point to the
vostlv increased consumption of"soft
drinks" all of which require a great
deal Of sugar. There is also a great
increase in the use of sugar in the
form of candy. People seem to crave
it as never before; and then the high
wages enable more people to crafty
their tase for sweets and do 1t often
er.
II is pointed out that alcohol is
only decomposed sugar. and 1t mas
long been known that those who un'
fortunately have a craving for aico-
hol find nothing else SO quiets the
craving as the eating of sugar, OF
what is the same thing, confection'
cry.
Though alcohol is decomposed sug'
ar no canesugar or beet sugar was
used in it's manufacture; only low
grade molasses was used in the man
ufacture of rum. So that Prohioitior
saves no sugar, and If it creates
craving for sweets that accounts FOL
some part of the shortage.

BIG FIRE AT SPRINGFIELD
BURNS GARAGE

Springfield, Sept. 2.-Fire of un-
known origin destroyed three build
ings on Jefferson street early Monday
morning. The buildings totally de-
stroyed are the Colonial grocery
store, Vesta battery station and the
Jefferson garage. The total loss
caused by the fire is estimated to be
more than $4,000.
The heaviest loss was sustained by
j. w. Butts, owner of the Jefferson
garage. About eighteen motor cars
stored in the garage were destroyed
and their loss alone amounted to more
than $4,000. Most of the cars were
insured, but the owner of the garage
carried no insurance.
All three of the buildings were de-
stroyed and very little of the property
in any of them was saved. The Colo
nial Grocery company, owned by Will
liams and Seller, suffered loss of
$1,500, 80 per cent of which was COW
cred by insurance. NJ. R. Walsh of the
Vesta battery service station estimat-
ed his loss at $2,5OO, a portion OF
which was covered by insurance.

PERSHING SAILS FOR
UNITED STATES
Commander of American Expeditions
ary Forces Departs on Trans
port Leviathan.

Brest, Sept. General John r.
Pershing, commander of the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces, sailed from
here today on the transport Leviathan
for the United States. The steamer
left port at o'clock this afternoon.
Marshal Foch came aboard the
transport shortly before she sailed and
made feeling address to the depart
ing American commander.
"1n leaving France" said the
marshal, "you leave your dead in our
hands. On our soil we will care for
them religiously and zealously as
bearing witness of the powerful and
you brought us. These dead will bring
from America Jlany thoughts of re-
membrance and pious visits and will
bind still more strongly our already
close union.
"lf the clouds of war should gather
again in the future, would not these
dead rise from their tombs and make
their voices heard once more by a
world which already knows that the
same cause, the cause of liberty, has
united US since the time of Washing
ton and Lafayette ?"
General Pershing replied by bidding
farewell to France in the person of the
marshal, ''to her gallant poilus, to
her patriotic men and to her noble
women" Then the general and
Marshal Foch walked arm in arm to
the gangplank, exchanging final
salutes as the marshal stepped ashore.

ORGANIZE TO SOLICIT
FUNDS FOR FACTORY

About twenty representative busi-
ness men of Monet met at the city
hall, Thursday evening, to discuss
ways and means of raising the $1,000
needed to secure the overall factory
for the town. Charles Mansfield,
president of the Commercial Club,
presided and Harry Osborn acted as
secretary.
A committee to manage the cam
paign was appointed as follows:
Charles Mansfield, S. A. Chapel,
John McGrath, w. w. Lehnhard, w.
F. Durnil and L. d. Mckee. This
committee is empowered to enlist any
they wish to assist them in the work.
A house to house canvass will be
made to give every citizen in Monet
a chance to contribute toward this
movement for bigger and greater
Monet. Only half the amount has
been raised and it will be necessary
for the citizens to give literally to
raise the required amount within the
time limit.
Several sites for the factory are
available and after the funds are in
a committee will be appointed to look
over the proposition and to buy the
place offered at the least figure which
will be suitable for the business.
The establishing of the factory at
this place will affect every property
owner in town, in enhancing the value
of their property. Many new families
will come to Monet and the growth
of the city is insured.
Monet cannot afford to let this
opportunity go by. The valuesof the
Friedrich Cigar Factory is consider
able to the business of the town and
this new concern will employ many
more people, so you see what it means
to secure the location of the overall
factory here.

GIVEN NINETY DAYS
TO LOWER COSTS.
Shopmen's Council Urges Locals Ac-
cept Wilson's Compromise Offer
Pending Fight On High Prices.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Industrial
peace in the United States, according
to the legislative council of the rail
road shop crafts, depends on the re-
suits the government can show in the
next ninety days in its campaign to
reduce the cost of living.
That time limit was tacitly set to-
day by the council in suggesting to
union locals throughout the country
that President Wilson's compromise
offer in response to their demands for
higher wages should be accepted pend
ing the outcome Of the effort to re-
store normal price level.
If the cost of living does not come
down the 100000 members of the shop
crafts would reserve the right to
strike for more money, and with them
probably would be associated the re-
mainder of the 2,500,000 railroad en-
ployes.
The letter of the executive council
served to compose somewhat the un-
easiness felt in official circles over
the immediate labor situation and to
focus attention on the legal meas
ures being directed by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer and his assistant, Judge
Ames, to take the initiation out Of
prices and to punish hoarders and
profitoarc

SEVEN DEMOCRATS
AGAINST AMENDMENT
McCumber Only Republican on Com

Opposition to Change.

Washington, August 29.-Another
amendment to the peace treaty provid
ing that the United States shall have
as many representatives as the British
Empire on the League of Nations as
sembly was adopted today by the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee.
The vote was 8 to 8, Senator Nc
Cumber (Rep.), North Dakota, stand
ing with the Democrats against the
amendment. The provisions as franz
ed would not reduce the six votes by
Great Britain and its dominions on the
assembly but simply would provide
that the United States have equal
representation.

URGES GREATER CARE IN AD-
DRESSING SUMMER BAGGAGE

With the vacation season at its
height, local expressmen are now
handling more summer baggage than
at any time in the history of the ex-
press business. A statement to this
effect was made last night by Agent,
R. W. Welsh in charge of the city
Office of the American Railway Ex-
press Company.
The heavy movement of trunks,
suitcases and other personal baggage
from nearby resorts to the city is
keeping the local expressmen on the
alert in order that none of the ship
ments may go astray. Last year at
this time 1900 pieces of personal bag
gage had to be sent each month to the
various "No Mark" bureaus of the ex-
press company, throughout the coun-
try, because the address of the owners
were totally missing or inaccurate.
Agent, Welsh recently called his
men together to study the situation, SO
that clean record may be achieved
by the local forces this year. Most
of the trouble has been traced to care
lessness on the part of vacationists in
addressing their baggage, and because
the rush of business makes it diff
cult for the expressmen to closely
scrutinize all of the trunks received.
Most of the baggage, lost or delayed
Agent Welsh declared yesterday, goes
astray because of the apparent in
difference of summer travellers to this
important detail of their arrange
ments. 1t is the experience of the ex-
pressmen that trunk owner will en-
trust the handling of his baggage to
someone else and only realize its i'm
poltance when the trunk or suitcase
goes astray. He requests the cooper
alton of the public in keeping their
baggage from miscarrying, by giving
greater attention to the accurate and
secure addressing of their property
