USES POTATO ON WINDSHIELD

And now comes the homely "spud,"
the common or garden variety Irish
potato, as a substitute for the many
preparations recommended for keep
ing the windshield of the automobile
clear in rainy or fosgy weather. The
enthusiastic supporters of what must
be termed the "spud method. of
keeping the windshield clear are said
to be numerous.
Don't tell us about these new fang
led chemical compositions for keep
ing the windshield clear on rainy
days." say its users. "All we do is
to keep a nice fresh and juicy spud
in the car. When 1t rains we cut a
slice off, run it over the windshield
and it keeps it clear as crystal"
A plug of chewing tobacco will do
the same service.

THAT COUNT

An elderly man whose opinion Is
considered worth something in the
community was asked the other day
what he thought were proper attri-
butes Of "the people next door," says
an exchange.
And he said:
I've been living here for nearly
forty years. Folks on either side of
us have come and gone. The people
like best for neighbors are those
who do these things: They keep the
place neat and clean, favor repainting
once in while; hang out a washing
every Monday morning; Tuesday is
ironing day.
"They'l lend their lawn mower If
you'll bring 1t back. They'll do the
same with a pinch of salt or an egg
or a cup of -four. They will go out
of their way to do a favor. They
like little children, and appreciate
that none are perfect. They keep the
garbage can covered. and keep the
chickens in their yard and not in
ours. They are not too curious about
who comes and goes at our house.
They mind their own business, an ex-
cellent trait.
What the grocer brings in or the
laundryman carries out doesn't inter-
est them. They are not snoopy; if
once in while, there's good deal
of noise at our house, they don't tele-
phone that they are about to call the
police. They are appreciative, kind
ly. companionable, neighborly.
They live as nearly by the Golden
Rule as is humanity possible, guess.
And that being so. we do the same.
1t is a good plan: Don't stone your
neighbor's dog; 1t reduces the likeli-
hood that he will stone yours"
Seems as IL the wise old gentleman
preached pretty good-sized sermon
in not so many words either.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Armistice Day was observed In the
school by holiday Friday. which we
all appreciated.
On Thursday evening, Eovem Der
10, the Senior Class-Marie Harris,
Rosaiie Davis, Katie Tambini, Julia
Hildebrand, Pearl McNaughton. Stel-
la Minoletti. Robert Lucey and Ed
ward skillman; Miss Foster, Miss
Rodkey and Mr.. Bridger, were in
vited to the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hunting for an evening OF enjoyment.
The party arrived shortly after eight
o'clock and many were the games and
contests played during the evening.
At 1880 refreshments were served
in the form of ice cream and cake, at
ter which several weird and ghostly
stories were told. The party broke
up about 1890, all having had fine
time.
The regular Wednesday morning
entertainment period for last week
was given. over to Mr.. Bridger. the
Presbyterian minister, who made a
40-minute speech to the student body.
His subject had to deal with the b.
BILE, which he declared the greatest
Of all text books. In Mr.. Bridger's
opinion Abraham Lincoln stood out
as the greatest man the world has
ever known. He went on to show
that Lincoln attributed his success In
life to the teachings contained in the
Book Of Books. Mr.. Bridger also re-
lated his experiences with the Chris
tian and Pagan tribes Of Africa and
told how their living conditions were
exactly the opposite The Christian
tribes were progressive and resembled
the civilization of the great nations
Of the world while the Pagans were
backward and contented themselves
by living the lives of animals. It
was simply an illustration of the good
which the Bible has brought to the
world.
The entertainment for the past
week was varied programme which
the Seniors spent considerable time in
arranging. President Marie Harris
announced a one-act drama in dumb
show dumb is right) entitled THE
Flirt," as one of the special attrac-
tions for the morning. The next
source of amusement ON the pro-
gramme was game entitled THE
Preachers Cat," In which each stu
dent was called upon for an adjective
beginning with a, and so on, which
would describe the preachers cat"
The game furnished considerable
amusement to the students. The
Freshman class has the honor of pre-
senting the next weeks entertain
ment-from one extreme to the other
as you might say.

FROM THE PRODUCER
TO THE CONSUMER

Ely News: John Cordano Of Step
toe Valley while in Ely this week was
wearing a sweater that was much ad-
mired. both for the appearance and
quality. When asked where the
sweater was purchased he declared 1t
to be a homemade product. The
wool was sheared from his own sheep,
carded and spun by hand at his home
ranch and hand knit. The wool was
selected from black and white fleece
and produced beautiful effect in the
completed garment.

EUREKA MINING NEWS
EUREKA-HOLLY

EUREKA-HOLLY
The sinking of the two compart-
ment main Holly shaft has now
reached the 500 foot level and made
connection with the drift which leads
from the shaft to the slopes. The
high grade silver-lead ore now being
shipped is coming from these slopes.
Most Of the material for the ma
chine shop and the mill building has
arrived and a force of carpenters is
erecting ore bins and the new mill
building.
EUREKA-CROEsUs
This company has resumed ore
shipments and this week completed a
six car consignment to the Utah
smelters. The teams are still haul
ing on second shipment Of the same
amount and will complete it next
Tuesday. The general conditions at
the mine continue to promise several
more shipments from the ore bodies
now being extracted, with probable
tiles that much more ore will be de-
veloped while the present bodies are
being taken out.
INSPECTING SECRET
CANYON MINES
w. II. ]. Brown, who was in Eu-
reka about two months ago as repre-
sentative of the Bureau of Mines, De-
partment of Commerce, and also to
look over the mining interests In this
district of the late James Murray, for
himself and other heirs, returned
here Tuesday and was accompanied
by F. B. Keever of San Francisco,
representing active mining corpora
tions and Wallace Macgregor, min
ing engineer of Berkeley, California.
The Murray estate is interested In
eight claims in the Secret Canyon
mining district and the party spent
some time in a thorough examination
of the group. They were pleased with
the various showings and believe that
the possibilities of the properties are
good, and their visit may result In
the taking over of these properties
for further development.
Mr.. Brown stated to the Sentinel
that he was firmly convinced that the
Eureka district will prove to be one
of the largese producers OF precious
metals in any State of the West. His
examination of the Secret Canyon
properties. in his opinion, convinced
him that there were enormous bodies
of ore In the Hamburg limestone in
this group. and that with further de-
velopment there is no question of
successful outcome when explored.

League Of Nations Fails.

The first meeting of the League of
Nations, organized under the sleazy
Covenant which President Wilson ir-
sisted upon Intervening with the
Treaty of Peace in a manner defying
extermiation, is expected to come to
an end today at Geneva.
The situation as depicted in the
reports to the newspapers most
friendly to the League idea requires
plain speaking. The situation would
be ridiculous if it did not involve con
sequences, actual and probable, moth
ing short of tragic in their relation to
the ideals OF lasting peace OF the
world Instead of Illustrating that
apocalyptic harmony upon which the
hopeful have dwelt so rapturously as
the presage Of new order of things
in international intercourse and in
human nature, the session winds up
with split and a squahble between
Council ard Assembly amounting al
most to internecine war Such was
the inevitable fate of scheme of
organization conceived in generous
emotions and presented in high sound
ing but elusive phraseology.
Thus we are candidly told by the
correspondent of the New York Times
that the controversy over the refusal
OF the Council to permit the Assem-
bly's Committee on mandates to super
wise or even discuss the Councils Sc
cret proceedings for the portion OF
Asia Minor among the great European
Powers disguised as manufactures is
really serious and may deeply af
feet the future of the League Of Ma
