Carrying u. S. Mail Between San Francisco and
New York 1t Sets Mark for Consistency Of Performance
and Reliability Never Equaed by any Travelling Machine
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1920-05-15

Although 1t costs the people a snug
bit of money to run the Department
of Agriculture every year, Mr.. Mere
dith, the new secretary, declares that
his branch of the Government is real
ly earning several thousand per cent
on the "investment"-that is the
money appropriated by Congress for
it's maintenance.
In an address recently delivered
by Mr.. Meredith before the United
States Chamber of Commerce, he said
that the Department of Agriculture,
through the work of it's bureaus, is
paying big returns, and he cited sew
eral items In support of his assertion.
Among them was that of durum
wheat. The department spent $780,
900 to establish tina variety. and now
durum wheat produced in the United
States is worth 100000 0 every
year. Less than 100000 was ex-
| pended to give rice an introduction
in California, and now that State pro-
duces S21, zoo, 900 worth of rice a
year.
Egyptian cotton was INTRODUCED in
arid southwestern America and de-
| veloped at a cost of less than $1,000.
| To-day American-Egyptian cotton is
worth $20,000,000 a year, and con-
| stantly increasing. The department
| discovered the serum that prevents
| hog cholera, and its use has reduced
the losses from that disease by $40,-
100000 a year.
Mr.. Meredith said the department
had searched the world for grain
crops that could be grown in the
southwest, where corn does not sue
coed. and spent a few thousand dol
lars in experiments with the grain
and forage sorghums. Last year
125, 100000 bushels of Kaffir and
other grain sorghums were produced
there.
The department found Gull oranges
and lemons In California selling for
SIS a ton. 1t established a citrus
fruit laboratory to discover uses for
these fruits. AS a result growers
are now receiving from s25 to $40 a
ton for culls, and the citrus by-pro-
ducts, established since the uses OF
Gull fruit were demonstrated, yielded
last year 5000, 600 pounds Of citric
acid, 100000 pounds of citrate OF
lime and $4,000 pounds of lemon oil.
The department. said Mr.. Mere
dith, brought the naval oranges from
Brazil, and last year $4,000, 600 box
es Of California navel oranges were
distributed among the people OF this
country.
In spite of great difficulty, the
Smyrna fig was brought from Turkey
and has been fairly established. With

Games at Monte Carlo
Run Absolutely on Level

A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writes from Monte Carlo as
follows:
us IL really on the square?"
That's the question that every Wis
itor asks, Americans most Of all.
They keep thinking of books they've
read and plays and films they've seen,
where the villainous villain in his
long. black mustache, presses the but
ton and the electric magnets draw
the little white ball into the red num-
Der instead of the black.
' They recall the stories Of the saw
tooth cards in the faro-bank case, and
the gold loaded dice in the crap game.
But after tourists are here a while,
they begin to believe that the games
are square. They begin to realize
that the Anonymous Society of Sea
Baths can make all the money 1t
needs by trusting to luck, and that
they don't have to electrify the rou-
lette wheels and phoney the cards in
the trente-et-quarente games to pay
their big quarterly dividends.
MACHINE BEATS BRAINS
Nevada was the last State in the
Union to close gambling. That was
in September, 1910. During all the
time that Nevada was wide open, the
gambling was dead on the level. One
could see the roulette dealer, or the
faro-bank dealer, or the stick man In
the crap game get his wages after
his shift was finished, go across the
other side of the table and sit down
and commence to play against the
game he had just been running.
When a man can open the gamb-
ling house and be sure that he can
keep 1t running, without fear of the
cops closing him, and without having
to part with large gobs of hush money
to the authorities, he IA we'll afford
to run his game on the square.
An icy cold machine will beat the
best brains ever matched against
them eventually. Mr.. Player will
have a little luck with small bets.
and just about the time he has a nice
pocketful of winnings he will find
himself a piker and begin to plunge.
About that time there will be a run
against him and he will be busted be-
fore 1t changes.
That's where the bank roll counts.
The bank at Monte Carlo is more
than 100, 900 francs, 1t is said.

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR STORY WRITER

Herschel Hall. talented short story
writer, who is in Nevada gathering
local color" for a series OF stories to
be written soon, had a narrow escape
from serious injury and possible death
Friday when his automobile, driven
by his brother Percy Hall, ran away
on the Gold Hill grade. tried to strad-
die a pole and turned completely over.
The Hall brothers we're thrown clear
of the machine and we're badly shak-
en- up but escaped injury. Their cloth
ing was somewhat mussed up and
Percy Hall lost all the buttons OF his
shoes. The car was badly wrecked.
The Hall brothers we're coming over
the grade from Virginia City to Gold
Hill and the brakes on their auto fall
ed at the steepest point. The car
gathered considerable momentum and
speed in a very short space Of time
and the driver steered 1t toward a
house. In its fight 1t landed against
a pole.
Percy Hall is a mining engineer of
considerable note and is engaged In a
private mining enterprise in Eureka

THE Panama canal could not be
completed until yellow fever
come" continued the secretary. land
nobody knew what caused yellow fe-
yer. Then a scientist in the bureau
of animal industry discovered that
splenetic fever of cattle is caused by
a tick. That opened up the iield of
insect ~causation of disease, revealed
the mosquito as the carrier of yellow
fever, and the control of this disease
made possible the completion of the
canal"
When the discovery was made, the
cattle tick infested an area of more
than $4,000 square miles and caused
a loss Of from $40,O00,00 to $780,
0OO, 900 a year. The department has
eradicated the tick in $4,000 square
miles of this territory and. according
t O present plans, will have the re-
naming 100000 square miles free of
the pest by the end of 1923.
The cotton boil weevil mas been
| of the most stubborn enemies of
production that the department has
| ever had to deal with, but experts
| have at last found how TO control the
pest by busting the fields with cal
| cium arsenate. AS an illustration,
Mr.. Meredith detailed a case in point.
A field where the weevils were so
that the farmer had given
up all hope of getting a crop from 1t
was taken over by experts and culti-
waited. They busted a strip down the
middle and left two strips on the
sides imprisoned. One of the un-
poisoned strips made AS pounds of
cotton to the acre and and the other
60 pounds. The treated strip pro-
duced $50 pounds to the acre, a gain,
in money, or $16S an acre for that
cotton over it's yield IL the plants had
not been busted.
These instances and numerous 9TH
ers enabled Secretary Meredith to
make out a strong case for his de-
partment. No doubt the people of
the country as a whole, and the rural
population particularly. are receiving
much benefit from the Governments
agricultural department; and when,
as Mr.. Meredith has done, these ben
efts are expressed in money totals.
there will be no disposition to deny
that the production of the United
States has been and increasingly is
being aided in a large way by the re-
searches and discoveries Of his ex-
! perts.

the intermittent games where the col

Only the rankest suckers play the
numbers at roulette. Every time a
number shows up there are a certain
bunch of people with no more imagi-
nation than to play that same num-
Der in hopes 1t will repeat. One can
imagine how often the numbers re-
peat. The percentage is about a mil
lion to one against such a thing. Still
it does happen. and just when you
don't think 1t will too.
HOW THE ODDS RUN
Straight up on its nose a number
pays 35 to /. But IL two numbers
are played with one chip, and n of
the numbers shows, only seventeen is
paid. Twice IT is only "a, SO that
runs up the percentage for the house
right away. Then IL three numbers
across the board are played with one
bet and one of them m up, only
IL to l is paid, cutting down the odds
to 33 to L. If four numbers are
played with the same piece, s to l Is
paid, which reduces the price to 80
to 1. II six numbers are played with
the same bet, 5 to l is paid. Thus
the folks who play the combinations
get stung numerically. and yet lots
of them do it.
The even money chances are what
the heavy players go after. II they
bet high. a thousand francs or more,
they usually insure their bets against
the house percentage. 1t costs l per
cent to insure the bet. Ten francs
per thousand or 100 francs for the
maximum bet of $4,000 francs. The
insurance raked in by the house ev-
cry day reaches a staggering figure
and is, of course, clear profit.

TAX ASSOCIATION
PLAN OUTLINED

w. c. Noteware, who was appofn-
ed secretary OF the Taxpayers AS
ISOLATION which met in Reno recent
ly, has asked that the press call
special attention to the necessity OF
the land, town and business interests
being fully represented In the meet
ing on May 20. These interests have
no State organization and must form
some plans for sending delegates.
Speaking of the meeting, he says In
the Lovelock Review-Miner:
"The purpose of the association
is to aid, encourage and promote
economy in administration OF public
business in the State, in all counties.
cities and other public divisions, and
to cooperate withe the State Tax
Commission and other public officers
in matters effecting taxation.
THE association is not the project
of any class or group OF taxpayers.
The basic plan is to make 1t repre-
sentative of the entire State and pave
the way for the organization of coun-
ty organizations, with like objects, to
cooperate with the State association.
THE basic plan as contemplated
by the bylaws, is to make the as
ISOLATION representative Of the entire
State, and its success as a permanent
institution depends upon the broad
participation and cooperation of all
citizens and taxpayers.
Particular attention and emphasis
is laid upon the Importance of both
the land and town and business
groups being fully represented at the
meeting on May Goth, as these two
groups Of taxpayers, as distinguished
from the other five, have nc State
organizations, and In consequence
their representatives must be chosen
from the community interests they
represent.
Pending the final organization on
May 18th, the organization commit
tee Of two representatives of each of
the sever groups of taxpayers, ap-
pointed at the meeting held on April
"a, organized and elected Vernon
Metcalf chairman and myself as sec
rotary, and the taxpayers of the State
through the press and ~communica-
lions to local chambers and all other
sources of publicity, will be advised
as to the Importance of the proposed
organization in which the Governor
and other members of the State Tax
Commission are In full accord"

Solomon tried an experiment with

Whether he 'breakfasted with all or

Miss Hurst has a theory that too
many breakfasts spoil the marriage.
She and her husband live apart, send
notes when they want to Q each
other and meet for breakfast about
twice a week. The announcement
would seen to indicate that in the
latest trial marriage the husband is
on trial. That's an improvement on
the old system.
Just how 1t may work out with
geniuses like Miss Hurst, authoress,
and Mr.. Danielson, musician, Ia not
for ordinary mortals to say.
1t may be that to have breakfast
only twice a week with your hus-
band, IL you happen to be a genius,
Is wise. We should say that two
breakfasts with Cleopatra would be
plenty.
For the ordinary mortal 1t would
mean breakfasts would grow fewer
and fewer as time went by.
