NEVADA CROPS AND
STOCK FAIRLY GOOD

Crop conditions in Nevada for the
month Of September are reported as
follows by the bureau of crop esti-
mates, department of agriculture:
Rains the last week in September
partly broke the drought which has
prevailed throughout the summer in
most parts of Nevada. The benefits
OF the rain are shown principally by
range and pasture conditions. other
crops being practically mature.
Pasture conditions show a slight
decline IS the rains were so late that
there was not time enough for no.
ticeable growth to be made. Though
pastures are below average, stock
is generally in good condition. The
hay crop seems larger than antici-
pated 50 that stockmen face the win
CT with optimism.
O- o are practically un-
changed since last month. The pros
pCet is for a crop OF 100, 900 bushels
less than last year. This is mainly
due to the water shortage In Lyon
county, which injured many fields
severely. The extremely poor potato
crop in Elko county is also a factor.
Beans, tomatoes and onions show
about average production. Cabbage
is reported yielding less than usual
and consequently the production is
less. Apples are exceptionally prom
Using. but pears and grapes are only
average. Alfalfa seed is making a
better acre yield than last year. but
the area devoted to il is smaller. The
total production of seed Is about
three-fourths of the amount usually
harvested.
"All grain yields are below the av-
erage. Barley is the only grain maxi
ing a larger yield than last year.
The extreme hot weather interferred
with the filing OF spring wheat and
water shortage cut short the crop
along the Humboldt and in Lyon
county. Oats are especially poor in
Elko county. The yield of spring
wheat is the lowest since 1899: bats
I the lowest since 1903. while barley
/ is a little better than last year"

There is just one place where the
gentlewoman, with dramatic instincts,
will allow her robing to be a bit au-
dacious, and that place is within her
own four walls. The gentlewoman
naturally strives for distinction in
dress, but she will not go to the length
of wearing things so unusual in char
acter and design, as to make her con-
spicuous In public. But within her
home it is different. From any cor
ner of the world Inspirations may be
carried out in boudoir gowns and In
undertakings; the ARREST fabrics, the
most daring color combinations, the
richest embroideries and extravaganza
ly unique designs are at her service.
Just now China and Japan are fur
nishing alluring things with wonder
full possibilities for boudoir wear. The
big fringed shawls Of crepe de chine,
embroidered with incredible fineness
in the most brilliant colors, make neg

pose a warm climate or steam heat.

InterIockjno Brick.

Burned walls falling all around him
during the great fire in San Francisco
gave an Arizona man the idea Of self
binding and interlocking brick, a type
of building material which promises to
revolutionize brick construction work
the world over. The principle Of the
brick is decidedly simple. On one side
Of the brick are two annular bosses
which are concentrically located OPP
posite two annular depressions on the
other side of the brick, so that when
the bricks are laid the bosses register
with the depressions. In that way the
bricks are locked into the wall and
none can be removed unless all the
bricks above 1t are first taken away.
In sections Of the country where hol-
low-wall construction has come into
popularity the interlocking brick
seems likely to prove the most pop
ular, because 1t can be used in tying
the two walls together. The bricks can
be extended across the open space
and made to lock together and act as
a binder. Hollow-walls are desirable
because Of their GOODNESS in sections
where humidity prevails.

There is an old saying among mer-
chants that there are just two ways
to increase their volume Of business,

Business. One Is through the sale of
merchandise to more people; the other,
through the sale of more merchandise
to present customers.
What is the community doing to
help present industries? Is some man.
ufacturer handicapped through the
lack Of street car transportation for his
men, or through the need Of a railroad
switch that stubborn city council has
declined to authorize, or through some
restriction which might easily and
properly be removed?
Or could additional capital be in
vested in the present enterprises of the
city, to the benefit of the community,
and the profit Of local investors?
am we'll acquainted with a small
Indiana city which in time past has
undertaken to be the home of a roll
though there was no apparent reason
why either should have been situated
there. Both Of them failed.
In the meantime, the whole COM
munity stood upon a foundation of
stone which was OF excellent quality
for paving purposes, and from which
lime could be, and later was, produced.
The one man who entered the stone
business there eventually had thriv-
ing trade which later, passing into the
hands of outside people, grew still
larger. With fuel-a good grade Of
coal-but few miles away, and with
such stone deposits, this community
might have developed along this line
had local capital become interested, or
had the community made serious and
well-directed effort to interest stone
men from other places, for the city has
excellent railroad service-three main
lines-and is within easy shipping dis
lance of several important cities which
afford a large market for crushed
stone.
