Made First Cash Register.

A man named Jacob Ritty. a mer-
chant of Dayton. o., took a vacation
trip to Europe. While crossing on the
steamer. he sauntered one day into the
engine room and noticed a device that
mechanically recorded the number OF
revolutions of the propeller shaft. I'm
mediately came the idea to the mind
of Mr.. Ritty: "Why not invent a ma
chine that would record each coin put
into the cash drawer?" When he re-
turned home he invented the first
"cash register" John H. Patterson
was keeping a grocery store in a small
town so miles from Dayton. He heard
Of the Ritty contrivance, sent an or
der for one. and that was the
inventors first order. The machine
was crude. but 1t interested Mr.. Pat
terson and he saw how II could be per-
fected. IF It's good for my store" he
argued. "why not for all stores?"
Forthwith he went TO Dayton. bought
the Ritty interest out. and started the
National Cash Register Co, which has
now 100000 machines and every
year turns out more than 10000 cash
registers.

COTTON TO c o
NEVADA INDUSTRY

Cotton in the Las Vegas valley
promises a very prolific production.
judging by the appearance OF the
fields at this time.
On the Winterwood ranch of Chas.
S. Sprague the cotton is almost as
high as a mans head and the plants
are all bearing a large number of
bolls. On n plant 132 bolls and
squares were counted. said to be an
unusually large number.
The fact that the plants send out
squares close to the ground is said to
be an advantage which Las Vegas
and some other localities possess, not
common to all cotton growing Sec
tons.
In all localities where tried in this
valley. the Pima long staple variety
of cotton seems to be right at home
and Mr.. Sprague is fully convinced.
both by his own experience and the
opinions of others. that Clark County
will become a very successful long
staple cotton section.-Las Vegas Age.

PROCURE OIL FROM BIRDS
Inhabitants Of the Island Of ST. kiIda
Are Especially Favored In Re-
spect Of Light.

The price Of coal oil is a matter Of
no Interest to the inhabitants Of the
island of st. Kilda, a favorite haunt
OF that animated oil can. the fulmar.
observes the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune. So rich in oil is this sea
bird that the natives simply pass a
wick through Its body and use it as a
lamp.
The oil is also one of the principal
articles exported from the island.
1t is found in the birds stomachs. is
amber colored and has a peculiarly
nauseous odor. The old birds are said
to feed the young with 1t. and when
they are caught or attacked they light
en- themselves by disgorging 1t.
In st. Kilda 1t is legal to kill the full
mars only during one week in the
year; but during that week from $4,000
to 10000 birds are destroyed.
The mutton bird of the Antarctic
also carries its oil in the stomach and
can eject this oil through the nostrils
as a means of defense against enc
mics.
Quantities of mutton birds are
slaughtered every year for their oil on
the coasts of Tasmania and New Zea-
land. In its composition and proper
ties this oil closely resembles sperm
oil.

ELKO COUNTY
PHYSICIAN IN TROUBLE

DR.. Galen Hickok, formerly a
practicing physician in Deeth and
Wells of this county, is under arrest
at San Francisco charged with per-
forming illegal operations. says the
Elko Independent. Several days ago
detectives of the San Francisco police
force raided a castle owned by
Hickok located in the hills overlook
ing Salada Beach and found therein
three women upon whom criminal OPP
e~rations had been performed. Two
of the women were unmarried and 1t
was through her husband that infor-
nation was disclosed leading later to
the arrest of Hickok following the
raid.
1t is believed by the San Francisco
authorities that Hickok has been en-
gagged in his nefarious business for
several years past in the grim and
%forboding castle overlooking Salada
Beach. The place was practically i'm
pregnable. a giant wall surrounding
it and a heavy paddock barring the
way through the only entrance to the
place. The first raid on the castle
was undertaken on a moonlight night
but was abandoned when 1t was found
that the entrance was locked and
barred. The second iaid was made
under the protection o. a heavy fog.

FIRST OF sEEDLESs ORANGES
Fruit That 10 Now So Much Przsd
Ma Brought to This Country
From Brazil.

In 1872 United States consul 10
BAHIA tBrazil). w. f. Judson. was told
oy the natives that GO miles inland. ND
tne Amazon, were native orange trees
bearing fruit without seeds. Accord
ingiy he sent natives after tree shoots
and some Of the fruit.
The shoots were packed in moss
and clay and sent to Washington.
They were set out by the agricultural
department, but attracted little atten-
ton until tht next year. when Horatio
Tibbetts Of Riverside. Cal. took the
surviving four shoots to his home and
planted them. One died and another
was eaten up by a cow. At the end Of
nve years the two surviving trees bore
10 handsome seedless range Next
year h oranges were even better, and
The trees bore about a box Of the fruit.
from that time on the cultivation Of
the seedless oranges about Riverside
progressed rapidly. As there were no
seeds to raise the trees from II was
found necessary t graft buds of the
seedless trees into Seeding trees.
Riverside has grown from a small
village to a town of 1900 acres de-
voted to the cultivation Of navel or
anges. 1t Is the greatest orange pro-
ducing locality In the world. The two
original trees were fenced about and
carefully guarded lest harm should
to them. and they are now en-
5oying a green old age.

NEVADA CROP REPORT
FOR SEPTEMBER MONTH

The September crop report Of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
,ure. bureau of crop estimates, is as
follows:
The heavy precipitation which a
considerable portion of Nevada re-
eeiyed the last week in August came
too late to make much change in the
september crop conditions. A slight
decline is noted in Spring wheat pros-
pects, while oats have improved some
What. Barley is unchanged. Pota-
toes are reported better than last
month, probably due to water short
age being less serious than expected.
Garden truck is above average with
exception of tomatoes. which are re-
ported the poorest for several years.
watermelon production is about rs
per cent of a full crop and muskmel-
ons and cantaloupe production is so
per cent OF a normal production.
Fruits, with the exception of pears,
are rather light. Pears are above av-
erage, with a condition Of so. The
condition of apples is SIS per cent.
The production of peaches Is As g
cent of a full crop. or about half of
last year and one-third OF the crop of
two years ago.
Hay production Is materially above
last year, due to the better wild hay
crop In Elko County and theincreased
acreage of alfalfa within the State.
The yield per acre Of all tame hay is
estimated at $50 tons. Glover hay
averaged 100 tons, timothy is tons,
Wild hay i ton. and alfalfa 2.85 tons
per acre. The low average Of alfalfa
is largely due to the shortc crop around
Lovelock. Pasture and ranges are
good. having improved somewhat the
past month.
The number of stock hogs In Ne
vada is now estimated at 10000 or
1000 less than last year.. Nevada's
wool production for 1920 is estimated
at 100000 pounds. compared with
pounds last year. The
is believed to be due en-
to lighter ~fieeces. as II seems
that the number OF ieeces was some
what larger than last year.
