CALL THE WATER AND MGHI :,
PLANT IN CASE Or ElKE

We have been requested by Chief
Goldman, of the Fire Department, u
ask the citizens to call the. wafer aL'
lioht plapt in case of fire. There was
some delay this Thursday morning
occasioned by, the message that Df
Atkipson's house was on hre peiis
phoned TO the City Drug Store
Whenever there is a fire the boys
30 direct TO light plant where the
truck is housed, expecting to learn
from the engineer where the lire is
located, A very few minutes means a
great deal in case of fire and every
thing possible should be done to pre-
vent delays in turning in an alarm.
so DO NOT FORGET TO CALL THE
WATER AND LIGHT PLANT IN
CASE OF FIRE!

5,621,151 IS CENSUS

Rate Of Growth Is Smaller Than Ever

Washington, June 9.-New York
City had a population Of 5,621, 151 on
January 2, an increase of 854,268, or
17.9 per cent over 1910, the census
bureau announces. The rate of growth
was smaller than ever before in the
city's history, except in the decade
ending In 1870, while the increase nu-
merically was smaller than In either
of the two decades preceding 1920.
The latest estimate Of the population
of the city and county of London,
made in 1917, was 4,026.9O1. decrease
from the official figures Of 1911, which
showed population Of 4,521, 6S5.
Comparison of the population of
New York City with that Of London
is declared by the census bureau Off
Gals to be difficult because of the
areas covered by the various designa-
lions of the two cities. New York City
proper covers 287 square miles, while
for census purposes the city and couI
ty Of London cover 116 square miles.

LOS ANGELES Is LARGEST

DRY AMENDMENT IS

While attorneys for the interests at

The courts opinion, rendered by
Justice Vanderventer. was sweeping.
1t held that the amendment not only
came within the amending powers
conferred by the federal constitution.
but was lawfully proposed and now
was the law of the land. While rec
ognizing that congress has limitations
in respect to the enforcement of laws
regarding beverages, the court held
those limits were not transcribed in
restricting alcoholic content of intoxi-
cants to one-half of one per cent.
While New York, New Jersey and
Wisconsin acts permitting manufac-
ture and sale of beverages containing
more than one-half of one per cent al
coholic content, were not directly in
volved. the decision was interpreted as
invalidating them. The court said the
first section of the amendment, of it's
own force, '1nvalidates any legislative

islature, or by territorial assembly
which authorizes or sanctions what the

PROOF THAT STONE GROWS
Rock on California Farm Has In
creased in Weight Within the
Memory of Settlers.

On the farm of Mr.. James Cham
pion, known as the old home place of
his father, John Champion, boys used
to meet years ago with the elder
Champion, and often tossed a round
stone, ball fashion, one to another.
The same stone now lies in the yard,
at the old place, and men now in their
eighties often speak of this rock and
identify it as the stone they used to
toss about to each other.
Today it will weigh about 300
pounds and lies near,the spot where it
has lain for nearly a century. Some
of the most substantial old men of
Mercer county who are now living,
will vouch that this rock has grown
from a small stone to its present size
since their babyhood days.-Wilmore

FORTUNES SPENT FOR OIL
STOCKS NOW WORTHLESS
Wyoming Revenue Collector says
Many Companies Have Failed, and
Values in Others Have Shrunk

| Cheyenne, Wyo., June 14.-"It is APP
parent that extensive losses have been
and are being sustained by the people
Of Wyoming through absolute failure
of many oil promotion companies and
through shrinkage in the value of Sc
curities of other companies still alive"
said Leslie A. Miller. internal revenue
collector for Wyoming, and one of
the principal stockholders of the Kin
ney Oil and Refining company, in an
interview here. "Shrinkage value in
securities of companies in the latter
class is due to several reasons, the
chief one being over-capitalization.
"In case of discovery of oil in
new field, Immediately scores of new
companies spring up ana millions OF
shares of stock are distributed in one
way or another, the great bulk Of
which never has a chance to have any
real value. l think it is safe to say
that the. people of Wyoming in 1917
expended not less than ten million dol
is doubtful whether one-fifth will ever
be recovered, for value too many times
simply isn't there.
MANY, many paper fortunes have
evaporated into thin air, as many peo-
pie in Wyoming now know, and the
effect of the shrinkage of the value of
oil stocks is going to be felt for many
years. While the oil business has
brought great deal of money into the
state, it has not made fortunes for as
many individuals as some suppose"

WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION
Captureu German Captain Decided

Forget About Honor.

Among the letters from France thai
have been printed in the Atlantic
Monthly there is to be found this en-
pertaining episode:
The code of the German officers is
never to surrender; but of course they
cannot live up to it. In a recent raid
sergeant I know made prisoner
of a German captain who, as they
walked to the rear, cursed his luch
in fluent French, saying that he was
caught unawares that an officer never
surrendered, but fought to the end.
"Stop here, my captain, and lett us
consider this" said the sergeant seri.

of Mount Rainier National Park. In shape
it is not simple tapering to slender, point
ed summit like Fuj (Fujyama), the great vol
cano of Japan. 1t is rather a broadly truncated
mass resembling enormous tree stump with
spreading base and irregularly broken top.
Its life history has been varied one. Like all
volcanoes Rainier has built up its cone with the
materials elected by its eruptions-with Gin
ders and steam-shredded particles and Jumps of
lava and with occasional flows Of liquid lava that
have solidifed into layers of hard, basaltc rock.
At one time it attained altitude of not less
than 10000 feet, if one may judge by the steep
inclination of the lava and cinder layers visible
in its fanks. Then a great explosion followed
that destroyed the top part of the mountain and
reduced its height by some 1000 feet.
Indian legends tell of great eruption. There
have been slight eruptions within memory-one in
1S43. in 1854, and one in 1858, and the last
in 1870. Even now it is only dormant Jets of
steam melt fantastic holes in the snow and ice
at its summit, and there are hot springs at its
foot. But it is entirely safe to visit Mount Raj
nier, further eruptons are unlikely
Later on this great cavity, which measured
nearly three miles across from south to north,
filled by two small cinder cones Successive feeble
eruptions added to their height until at last they
formed together low rounded dome-the emf
nence that now constitutes the mountains summit.
The higher portions of the old crater rim rise to
elevations within a few hundred feet Of the sum-
nit and especially when viewed from below stand
out boldly separate peaks that mask and seem
to overshadow the central dome. Especially prom
inent are Point Success (14150 feet) the south
west side and Liberty Cap Q4,112 feet) the
northwest side
The altitude of the main summit has for many
years been in doubt. Several figures have been
announced from time to time, no two of them in
agreement but all of these, it is to be observed.
were obtained by more or less approximate meth
ods In 1913 the United States, geological survey,
in connection with its topographic SURVEYS of the
Mount Rainier National Park, made new series
of measurements by trianguation methods at close
range. These give the peak an elevation of IA 40S
feet, thus placing it near the top of the list of
high submits of the United States. This last fig
ure it should be added, is not likely to be in error
by more than foot or two, and may with some
confidence be regarded as final Greater exact
ness of determination is scarcely practicable in
the case of Mount Rainier as its highest summit
consists actually of a mound of snow, the height
of which naturally varies.

Nutritious Foods.

Eggs are a complete food. Meats
are direct flesh builders. Beef broth
is nutritious, but chicken or mutton
broth is better. Veal, when young,
is good and nutritious. Pork is hard
to digest and should never be given to
invalids. Chicken is the most desir-
able in the sick room as a fowl.
Chicken breast may be given even be-
fore beef or mutton. The white meat
of the chicken is the easiest digested
of all meats when either boiled or
fried well and the bird is young.
Young pigeons are next. Sweetbread
| (the pancreas of calf is also of value
and easily digested. Fish is easily di-
gested but of less value in strength
than meat or fowl
