FEAR RED OUTBREAK
IN MINING CAMPS
(By United PreSS)

ELY, New, June 1l-An additional
force of guards has been thrown
around the gold mines here as a result
of the theft of large quantity of
dynamite from one of the mining COM
panies at Tonopah. Similar measures
have been taken at Tonopah.
The authorities throughout Nevada
have been stirred by the theft, as they
fear it prcsages some |. w. w. or
other anarchistic outrage.
The sheriff's forces and the police
are conducting rigid investigation
in an effort to trace the huge quantity
of missing explosives.

NEW PROPELLER
FOR AEROPLANES

PITTSBURGH, June l5.--An all
metal propeller for airplanes capable
of having the blades reversed, has
been delivered to the government By a
local company.
According to officials Of the COM
pany plane, equipped with the rever-
sible blades in its first test was
stopped in distance of $50 feet by
means of the new device. Under the
old system a plane could not stop be-
fore travelling at least 700 feet. It is
the plan of the company to so perfect
the new blades that q stop can be
made, after landing, within 100 feet.
The design of the new blades was
made at McCook field while the me-
chanical details We're worked out In
Pittsburgh.
The blades which are made of steel
tubing Of tapering sections and thick
ness, without welding except to close
the extreme tip, fit over the two arms
of the hub. They are held in place by
means of rollers and ball bearlnss.
The rollers are said to greatly reduce
the friction of the rotation Of tho
blades about their center axis. An
angular development Of IS degrees
can be obtained by means Of u eonsful
which extends TO the cockpit

Why Not Develope Our
Natural Resources :

A large number Of our farmers and
business men have been considering
the dairy industry as a solution Of the
present condition Of affairs In this cOun
lty.
We believe these men are on the right
track and that the dairy industry can
bc developed to such mn extent AZ will
materially Increase the wealth Of the
county.
III this connection we wish to give
few facts, the result Of Just such CO.
operation between the business men
and farmers OF Grove City, Penn.
From 100 Creamery patrons In 1915
to G07 In 1920, from cash payments to
farmers OF $71G72 In 1910 to $410.123
In 1920. from : registered dairy anil
mails In 1914 to oG02 In 1920 that In
the amazing story OF what modern
lnlrying has done In the Grove City
district, md Ia an example Of what
cnn le done IN almost any other section
by cooperation and following approved
methods. You may Ike sure the farmers
In this district will never go back to
the type OF general farming which they
Ind followed in that district for more
than 100 years.
Six years ngO In the Grove City dis.
trict there had been little real progress
made In agriculture. The farmer had
some income from the sale Of grain. a
few steers and hog or two. There
wns at that time nut little idea Of the
helpful cooperation among the farm
crs and none between them and the
business men Of Grove City. But what
n change ,lniryIng has made! Today a
lnrgc percentage Of the 200 members OF
tho Grove City Commercial Club arc
farmers.
Upder ordinary circumstances COM
munities develop slowly. step by step.
hut when they unite and NIL work to-
gctlcr to accomplish some great ccn-
trnl idea. they go forward by leaps and
bounds. In the Grove City district the
grcnt central idcn was community de-
vclOpmcnt work In dnirylng. Prospcri-
ty has shown the farmers In the dis
trIct the real dollars and cents value
Of cooperation.
The results obtained at Grove City
can bc repeated In almost any other
community In the country md the In
crenscd profits Of the dairymen them
selves can likewise be duplicated
by any farmer who makes real at
tempt TO produce milk or cream In the
way Il has been done In this case.
We have n good creamery owned
and operated by one Of the most eff
cicnt buttcr-mnkcrs In the state. With
our natural grasses and cheap hay
and grain for which We have no mar
ket. we can produce better fat at
handsome profit.
The industry has good beginning.
Now let us all get behind 1t and boost
1t mp to the place where the farmers
will bc gorged with prosperity.

Sen Wear Scores Ono Last
Friday Morning

We will have to hand 1t to Sam Wear
for the clever arrest he made last Fri
day morning. Through some unknown
manner Sheriff Wear learned that two
young men from Meeker had still In
a cabin which at one time belonged to
Bob Wear on Strawberry and were
manufacturing White Mule. Mr.. Wear
set out early Friday morning horse
back and arrived at the said cabin
shortly after sun-up.
The cabin is two room affair. Mr..
Wear finding no one around entered
the kitchen portion Of the cabin. He
went on into the other room where he
found Ed Finch and a man by name
Of Rrister In he'd asleep. Sam did not
bother them in the least but let them
dream OH Of the IS pint they were
going to coin: Mr.. Wear went back
into the kitchen and took look around
lie found about two gallons Of the fin
ished product and about two gallons Of
mash in the process. The still was a
si,npie affair and consisted merely Of
an oil store and several boilers and
kettles. He gathered together all the
evidence he wished and then went back
and quietly aroused the sleepers and
told them he was ready to start to
town. We will guarantee that they
were q surprised couple when they saw

That lower Molfat county was once
