MOTOR CAR
r ORGANIZED

The recovery by Chicago detec-
tives Of automobiles valued at $780,
900 and the location of other stolen
cars worth as much more in a Michi-
gan town, ought to be sufficient to
make any owner of an auto sit up
and take notice. 1t gives. however,
but a faint idea of the extent to
which automobile thieyery has de-
veloped In the United States.
Automobile manufacture. of course.
is a colossal business. and everything
connected with it is on a correspond
ing scale Of magnitude. Yet the APP
parent growth of automobile stealing
into an organized industry of vast
proportions is calculated to excite as
constituent. For thefts of horses
representing a far smaller property
loss than that suffered by motor car
owners, vigilance committees were
once organized in Nevada and Cali
fornia. and other parts OF the West.
and men hanged. And If automobile
larceny can attain these dimensions
IN one LOCALITY, Wnat Is the possible
sum total of it for the whole country?
So far. depredations of motor a
thieves have been viewed as a local
police problem for each city or To-
cality. But the status of the auto
mobile as a vehicle of interstate
transit, and the peculiar facilities
1t affords the thieves to dispose of a
stolen car in a city far distant from
the scene of the theft. makes the
question of detection and punishment
of automobile thieves a national one.
No doubt 1t is incumbent upon every
owner to be his own vigilance com
mittee. But certainly the extraordi-
nary growth of this criminal industry
justiies extraordinary measures and
drastic penalties to curb Il.

WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT HEAT is

Perhaps no one man Is more gen.
orally looked up to by people Of the
United States than Thomas A. Edi-
son. Surely he has made good"
through a long. kindly, and ultra
useful life. Life In this country
would seem strange indeed were we
suddenly deprived of the many bene-
fits and c~onveniences Edison has
conferred upon us-just for the love
of doing things. He has gone broke"
several times in his quest for I'M
dreamed-of things. but those events
were scarcely incidents to the in
ventor. Many people give ideas Of
Tom Edison a glorified place in the
winning of the world war. Altogether
he is q man to be admired mar Of
whom America yer will be proud.
He doesn't talk very much, or often.
But his thoughts exhibit power with
out words.
When we picked up a copy of the
American Magazine the other day
and found an interview with Edison.
WI we're at once interested. And on
reading, the IDEA occurred that he
was saying something which might
be valuable to call to the attention
OF Nevada legislators who will begin
to function next month, and who will
be confronted with all kinds of So
called scientists" fresh from school
and over-enthusiastic over knowledge
which they do not possess, who urge
passage Of ridiculous laws by the
solons in the name of science.
Few people. unless ii be these same
young enthusiasts. will deny that
Edison Is q scientist. Yet this is
what he said-and let the delivers into
the mysterious take notice:
I'VE don't know one-millionth of
one per cent about anything! Why.
we don't even know what water is.
we don't know what light is. We
don't know what gravitation is. We
don't know what enables us to keep
on our feet, to stand up. We don't
know what electricity is. We don't
know what heat is. We have
a lot Of hypothesis. but that's ALL"
Some unthinking Nevada people
might be inclined to dispute with
Tom when he says we don't know
what heat is. and maintain that he
lived on the desert. But even
these people may find out hereafter
that Tom was right. Lawmakers
take notice.

SOME MEANINGS
OF CIvICS

Events of the past two weeks in
winnemucca have directed attention
to the word "civic." An organization
of women of the town has taken the
name Civic Club. and sometimes the
question is asked, What do they in
tend to do? Now. there is perhaps
or has been q Civic Club in every
other town Of any size in the land.
A large number Of members In the
women's Federation of Clubs are
Civic clubs, or they bear that name
They do all sorts of things-from
nothing to everything, mi might al
most say.
The Silver State does not know
what line of activity the Winnemucca
Civic Club intends to pursue; per-
haps club members themselves do not
yet know; but indications all point
to the conclusion that 1t is going to
do something. A common way some
people have of jumping to conclu-
sions leads to the assumption that
the local organization intends to do
what other associations of the same
name have done, somewhere else. 1t
is fair to say nothing in the WORD
civic" or "civics" ought to warrant
such a conclusion.
"Civics." says Webster's Diction-
airy, is the science Of civil govern
ment; that department Of political
science which deals with the rights
and duties Of citizenship" That
sounds as though the ladies might
be demanding room according to
their strength" in adopting the name.
II 30, so be it. The fair one have
earned the right to do just as they
think best. And If we are not mis-
taken. right here in Winnemucca they
will be doing more thinking than
some other people who might be
mentioned - not a thousand miles
from here.
Civic" Webster says, Is that quail
ity relating, pertaining, or appro-
to a citizen; of or pertaining
to a city or other municipality, or
citizenship: relating to man as a
member of society, or to civil affairs"
Surely the name, then, appears to
cover all the needs of Winnemucca.
Many valuable suggestions have been
made by different members of the
new organization already. some of
which will crystalline into action
without doubt.
The Silver State feels perfectly
safe in asserting that whatever the
representative women who have be-
come members of the Winnemucca
Civic Club determine to do, that OBJ
ject will be for the betterment Of the
community; and equally safe 1t is to
say that their endeavors will bear
fruit far beyond what any n MEM
Der may anticipate.

Shameiessly in the public places
And then hides; or, IL she Is
caught,
Denies.
And all her days are bitter
And her words a hooking.

Rightly Named

During the early days of the Eff teenth Infantry's sojourn in France some of the men were used to carry up ammunition to the artillery. At first each man carried only one shell but later they undertook heavier loads, until many of them were stag gering along under the weight of four or five of them. Finally one, of the soldiers whose back was bent from the task stepped up to his sergeant and asked:
 Sergeant, how you all got my name on this list"
 'T got it all right" replied the oth- CT. "You're Private Simpson, ain't you?"
 "Yee-s, sir" answered the ammuni- tion carrier. "But how you all got my name spelled?"
 "Why S-i-m-p-s-o-n," replied the sergeant.
 "That's right" answered the sol dier, wiping the sweat from his brow. q thought mebbe you had it down Sampson."-Los Angeles Times.

COLLEGE ;0F AGRICULTURE
 HOLDS FEEDING EXPERIMENT

According to Dr. R. H. Williams Animal Husbandman of the College of Agriculture, the University has just purchased 36 steers and placed them on feed on the Mesa Experi- mental Farm in the Salt River Valley, Twenty-seven of these were cross-bred steers sired by Rolled Shorthorn bull and nine of them were high grade Holsteins. They were all valley rais- ed and in good condition, averaging SS9 pounds at about 30 months old. These steers were divided into six different lots, each containing six animals as nearly alike as possible except Lot 1 contained high grade Holsteins. They are to be fed as follows:
 Lot Alfalfa hay ad lib.
 Lot 2-Alfalfa hay ad lib.; and silage ad lib.
 Lot 3-Silage ad lib.; cotton seed meal, pounds.
 Lot 4-Silage ad lib.; cotton seed meal, 8 lbs., alfalfa hay ad lib.
 Lot 5-Silage ad lib.; cotton seed meal, 8 lbs, ground milo maize, 6 lbs. .
 Lot 6-Silage ad lib.; cotton seed meal, 8 lbs., ground milo maize, 6 Inc . alfalfa hav ad 1ih
 The test will run for 2 months and possibly longer. Much will depend on the condition of the market. It is hoped to be able to secure sufficient data with this feeding test to indicate the rate of gain, length of time re- ouired to finish cattle, cost of gain, the efforts of the different rations and other information regarding the cattle feeding business which will prove valuable to stockmen. One Of the best cattle feeders in the Salt River Valley said: If cotton seed meal and silage will make the cheap est gains in cattle, I sure have the cattle-feeding business solved At any rate, we know that there will be a large amount of cotton seed meal available in the Salt River Valley and it is important to know whether to feed it or not. The cheapest feed no doubt would be alfalfa or barley pasture after it is jointed out, which will cost about $3.50 per month per head, while almost all of the rations in a dry lot will cost $10 or more per month. It is believed that pound of grain will cost fully 20c.
 This experiment will, be closely watched by cattle feeders all over the state and especially those in the Salt River Valley. The steers are to be fed at the Experimental Farm one mile west of Mesa and visitors will be welcome at all times. It is hoped that stockmen will take an interest in this problem and plan other feeding tests which they desire to be conducted. The rations in this test have been recommended by cattle feeders in the Salt River Valley.

DEPORTATION TRIALS
 NOW GOING ON

After drawing more than 1900 men in various panels and securing only IF tentative jurors the cases against the 210 defendants in the deportation cases that are being tried before Judge Sam Pattee, in the superior court at Tombstone are no nearer to trial than they were month ago, as the indications are that no com plete jury can be had in Cochise county. The state is the prosecutor in the case and it has no right to a change of venue and the defendants don't want any, so it is expected that all cases will fall. County attorney French, who has been prosecuting the cases, is dangerously i'll and had to turn the prosecutions over to A. A. Worsley, of Tucson.

WITH AMERICAN RED
 GROSS HERE AND ABROAD

When the American Red Cross ar rived in Montenegro by applying to the Serbian Government they obtain ed permission to use the former pal ace of Prince Mirko for hospital.
 There was no plumbing in this place. Five gallon gasoline caus were made into tanks for a bathroom, which were at first filled by piping handled by women. Now water is pumped from the river.
 The operating room was formerly a boudoir and light is supplied by kero- sene lamps.
 At Posen, Western Poland, the American Red Cross has recently equipped a building for the care of war orphans. Five hundred of these little ones have already been assem- bled from the devastated districts by the Polish government.
 The American National Red Cross has made donation of $1O,000 to the American Cocial Hygiene Association to aid that society in promoting a travelling exhibit on social hygiene.
 The object of this is to demonstrate to the people constructive method of dealing with the control of venereal disease as part of nationwide health campaign.
 The first demonstration of the eX- habit will be in North Carolina, under the auspices of the American Social Hygiene Association cooperating with the State Board of Heath.
 Nursing as profession is making its way rapidly in Poland.
 Lieutenant Col. Chesley, American Red Cross Commissioner to Poland, called for thirty volunteers for be- ginners class, so anxious were the young Polish women to take this course of training that one hundred and fifty applicants responded.
