PLAN SCHOOL ON SHIPBoARD
land, Is Considering the Adoption
Of Remarkable Scheme.

When it became necessary to erect
a new secondary school in Bradford,
the rich wool textile center Of Eng
land, the usual estimates were asked
for, and reported, in the total sum of
$4,000.
Socialists, who have a considerable
majority on the Bradford education
committee, at once decided to break
free from tradition, and adopted the
idea Of buying a suitable seagoing ship
for that amount, one big enough for a
couple Of hundred children. These
children will be sent to sea for SIX
months or 12-months period, If a SUBJ
sequent suggestion is adopted.
1t is still to be settled whether the
ship schoolhouse will remain moored
In Bradford canal docks, only going to
sea as freighter during vacation pc
RODS, or whether 1t would not be In
the interests Of general education to
let the scholars see glimpses OF for
eign ports, learning their languages
among natives, the ship at the same
time being loaded with cargoes that
would pay full maintenance expenses,
probably even Of the boarding OF the
children.

Bugs That Birds Eat.

According to a paper on behalf Of
bird protection published by the State
Horticultural society Of Kansas the
bird population of that state Is 1885,
100000, which every year eat enough
insects to fill 4S0 trains Of so box cars
each-24,000l cars Of a minimum
weight of $4,000 pounds to the car.
These insect trains would be long
enough to reach from Oklahoma to Ne
braska. Reduced to pounds, Blair fig
ures that the birds of Kansas every
year eat 576.0O0,O00 pounds Of insects.
1t Is hard to conceive the dollars and
cents value Of the insect-eating birds
to the Kansas farmer.

Nut Butter IL Wholesome.

Cocoa butter, as nut butter is called
in England, was not accepted with en-
thusiasm by the British public when
natural butter became scarce during
the war. 80 the food committee Of the
Royal society made some elaborate
tests of its effects on human beings.
The New York Medical Journal sum-
marizes the results. which show that
slightly less Of the fat Of cocoa butter
than of that Of real butter is utilized
by the body; It causes no digestive
troubles; when consumed In large
quantities 1t has slightly laxative ef-
feet. and in general 1t Is a safe and
wholesome food

Former State Senator w. A. Ked-
die of Falion, New, and his aviator,
John Austin Frost. were killed near
Elko last Sunday when their airplane
fell in flames from IN altitude OF 0
feet during a test fight. Inc bodies
we're SO badly burned that identifca-
ton was almost impossible.
The airplane was said to have been
the first ever built in Nevada. Sem
ator Keddie had intended to use it
for flights between Elko and his
ranch on the North Fork Of the Hum
boldt river.
Keddie was well known in Nevada
and Northwestern California. He was
the son of A. w. Keddie Of Quincy.

CAR LEFT ON DESERT
IS ALMOST A

A Tonopah dispatch says that ]. E.
Amenda, manager of the Illipah Pc
troleum Company, loaned his car to
a friend two months ago who met
with an accident and left 1t marooned
on the road thirty miles east of Ton
opah. The car is the only one of its
make in Nevada and the company in
Indianapolis had to be wired to send
duplicate parts. These arrived two
days ago and Amenda dispatched a
crew of repair men to bring in the
car, which has suffered badly during
its long wait. Two new cord tires
have been torn from the front wheels,
headlight was missing and all the
wiring for the lights had been re-
moved. The side windshields had
also been appropriated and an effort
was made to remove the batteries,
but this attempt failed as the mis-
creants could not hack the cables.
One important bearing that cannot
be of use to any one was taken.
Amenda says he thinks he was lucky
to find the chassis.

working and told him to hop On one

work, or clear out Of town. More
than fifty men were made to go to
work in this way and that a not

METAL
SHOWS DECLINE

A recent bulletin issued by the
United States Geological Survey states
that owing to unfavorable market
conditions that the metal production
from this State for the year OF 1921
will be materially reduced. The to-
al output for the year 1920 was$2s,-
S7S.512, Of which s12,00s,s79 was in
gold and silver.
The bulletin states that owing to
the strike conditions in Tonopah and
Divide that the precious metal pro-
duction will be considerably decreased
from that of last year.
There was a decrease Of approx
mately 1900 900 in gold production
from 1919 to 1920 and this will show
even a greater decrease this year.
Copper production for this year
will be at the lowest point in a mum
Der of years owing to the closing OF
practically all of the mines and smell
ters.
The low price of lead has closed
practically all Of the large producers
Of the State, while zinc is in the same
condition. Some lead is being pro-
duced in the Phoebe district and a
number of the silver-lead districts
are operating.

FOR U. S. NITRATE PLANT

Washington. July 1S.-Government
action on Henry Ford's offer to take
over the nitrate plant at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, for conversion into a
fertilizer plant may await conferences
between Secretaries Weeks and Mel
lon, il was said to-day. Mr.. Mellon,
officials said, is regarded as an au-

that Mr.. Weeks would probably ask
Congress for general authority to
lease the Muscle Shoals plant in or
der to facilitate negotiations with Mr..
Ford or others from whom offers
might be received.
There are reports that the Dupont
interests and other chemical concerns
are considering submitting offers for
the plant.
Mr.. Ford's scheme for providing
fertilizer cheaply to farmers, 1t was
said, would be of weight in determin-
ing the Governments attitude. 1t
0O0,00 would be needed to convert
100000 would be needed to convert

Commenting on the above, Arthur
Brisbane says: Henry Ford wants to
lease the gigantic Government plant
at Muscle Shoals, and the Govern
ment should let him have it. II any
body can make it go, Ford can. And
with him in charge the enterprise
would be productive not some
watered stock scheme. Ford offers
to pay in 100 years $4,000, 900,
which would be, without interest,
about $5O,O00,00 more than the to-
tai sum spent for the Government by
incompetents, profteers and grafters.
Nobody but Ford could or would pay
that much.
