TEA WILL BE
 NATIONAL DRINK

Americas beer mug may be trans formed into an enlarged tea-cUp after June 30. To convert the thirst of the nations billions for intoxicating liquors into a desire for tea is the purpose of a nationwide publicity campaign about to be undertaken under the auspices of the Tea Asso- ciation of the Unated States.
 Leaders of the tea industry are grasping the meaning of prohibition to their own business. They are be- ginning to appreciate S1at at the end of four months the masses of people in this country will be without some thing which they had before And the tea men are recognizing that some subsdtute-some moral equiva- Ient''-for whiskey, wine and beer must be found. They believe tha, tea helps to furnish the way out Of the dilemma and they are planning to bring their own conviction to the attention of their 110, 1000. 900 fellow citizens.
 The philosophy of the incfpient movement to make tea the great American beverage was briefly sketch ed yesterday at an informal meeting of the committee which was appoint ed by the Tea. Association to devise ways and means for the new kind of education for the sons and daughters of Uncle Sam. The campaign IS just being born, yet steps have already been taken to seek the cooperation of tea associations in all the leading tea producing countries of the world.
 Tea men regard the approach of prohibition as the psychological mo ment to develop their industry to the fullness which they think it should have. Americans have never vet taken to tea with the same avidity as the other English speaking people whose per capita. consumption of the beverage is from four to seven times larger than that of this country.
 Of the 1900, 100000 pounds of tea consumed throuEhout the world an- nuauy 1t is said only 100 OOO, 900 pounds are consumed in the United States. Australia, with a population of 5.OO0000, annually consumes 35.- 000,000 pounds of tea. and Russia 400,00O,000 pounds. If the con sumption of tea in the United States is tremendously increased by the pub Ecity campaign in which its charms and it's lures and it's benefits will be stressed some representative men in the industry believe that American tea merchants could soon control 50 per

gun Algerian Frigate Mashoda, and gave chase, Decatur leading in his flagship Guerriere. The AIoors fought like demons, and did not surrender until almost battered to pieces. The Mashoda was the flagship of the Al gerian navy, and the Dey's best war ship. The admiral was cut in two by a shot, and thirty others were killed. The Guerriere had three killed and eleven wounded. A little later an other Algerian vessel was captured after a short but fierce battle.
 The American fleet then proceeded to Aigiers, and Decatur sent 10 the Dey 6 demand for immediate settle ment Of all American claims The stricken Dey went in person to Decatur, and offered to accede to all demands if given a handful of gun powder, as Q se-Iblance of tribute. ''If you want powder, you'n have to take balls with it, was Decatur's answer. The Dey then came to terms, without conditions, and gave up all his Amer ican capdves.
 Having settled the Dey, Comm odore Decatur paid calls on the Pasha of Tunis and the Dey of TripoH and forced them to pay tribute and to re lease all white people held in slavery. Henceforth the American flag was sufficient protection in the Mediter- ranean, but other nations continued to suffer at the hands of the insO- lent Arabs. In 1616 a British fleet bombarded Algiers and forced the Dey to agree to put a stop to piracy. In 1927 the French took a hand in the game, and after a struggle of thirty years completely subdued the country and made it a peaceful and flOurishing colony.

PIGS AS MACHINE GUNNERS
shrewd Trick Played by Germans
When They Fled Before the Con-
quering American Troops.

The crafty Germans resorted to all
sorts of tricks to check the advance of
the Yankees in the fighting just before
the arlnistice was signed, according to
letter from Sergt. Sidney S. Foy, for
merly Of Detroit, Mich, now attached
to headquarters company in classi-
fication camp in France, to friend in
the Michigan city.
Foy writes that pigs were numerous
during the advance and that the Ger
mans used them to help in putting
Yankees out Of action. When the
MusY . we're fog&ed to retreat they
would tie Il pig by the leg TO the trig-
ger of machine gun. When the Yanks
would charge, the pig, becoming fright
ened, would squeal and tug to free it
self. Every tug the pig made shot
was fired at the waves of OncOming
American troops, and, of course, some
of them We're hit.
This was only one of the ruses
adopted by the Germans, says Foy.
and the Yankees had to use the ut
most caution in going over the ground
evacuated by the Germans.

inedible. The inedible constitute the

and hdes), some of the offM and the
bones. From these are prepared a
great variety of substances, some OF
which have developed into enormous
industries in themselves, such as
leather, soap, glue and fertilizer. The
last mentioned represents the ultimate
utilization of packing house waste.
For example. in the manufacture of
buttons, combs, knife handles and
spatulas from the horns and hoofs of
cattle and sheep and the hoofs of hogs
the waste resulting from the prepara-
ton of these articles was at one time
thrown away, but it has been found
that by treating such material with
sulphuric acid, the nitrogen which it
contains becomes available as fertil-

They Are in
Mineral County

Our Lyon County lKeighbors
seem to be irving to appropriate
some of the good things that belong
to Mineral County. The Yering-
ton papers are telling their readers
that the coal and oil discoveries of
East Walker and Pine Grove are
in Lyon County. and that the pre-
historic fossils mammoth teeth,
skulls. etc. ARE all from that Coun-
ty. The fact is they are all in
Mineral County. The fossils were
discovered by Harry Lewis OH his
land, and he does not like the idea
of others getting the credit for
finding them.
The coal mine near the Lewis
ranch on East Walker. which was
recently sold by Harry Lewis to
big Tonopah company, now
shows FIVE feet of good coal. and
as yet the miners are not down IS
feet. Experts are positive that
deeper work will develop large
coal deposits of great commercial
value.
Shale. heavily impregnated with
oil. is plentiful both in Pine Grove
and Coal Valley districts, and
arrangements are being made to
start drilling in the near future.
The discovery of oil and coal
will cause an immense influx of
capital and people to our county
and there is every indication that
development work will show that
these most desirable commodities
exist in Mineral county.

Must Swear

Hereafter all persons having bills
against Mineral county must swear
that the same are legitimate claims
against the county. The law re-
wires that all bills against the
county be sworn to and hereafter
the law will be enforced. Other
wise the bills will not be allowed.
In places where there is no officer
to administer an oath, the commits
sioner from that district will o. K
the bill. The county Clerk, Audi
ter, any Notary Public or Justice
of the Peace will administer the
necessary oath.

Tanks May Tow Barpes.

When the swords are beaten into
plowshares, what is to happen to the
tanks? Many people must have asked
themselves this question, and G. J.
Aubertain's recent article in the Lon
don News suggests an answer, for,
with slight notifications, the "whip-
pets" at any rate, might well be used
as tractors on the towpaths Of our
reconstructed state canals. The French
government, l am told, observes a
writer in the Edinburgh Scotsman, has
made experiments already in this very
direction and has found that light
tank Is capable Of hauling four fully
laden barges at speed OF two miles
an hour, which is about twice that
of horse. Mechanical traction has
been employed en- some of the Ger
man canals for some considerable time.
