But France has refused to give or

Instead she has confused the is

War Not Near.
Europe is not on the verge oi

never stand alone as champion OF
liberty.
Frances lack of practical sym

as TO couple its demand with a plea
for battleships and submarines.

waiting anxiously for more particulars
Sparks High defeated the local boys
last Saturday, and although Yerlngton
failed to score, it was a fast game, and
well played. This was Nerington's S
first football game, and considering
that they put up a very game hight.
The Sparks boys comp,imened the
home boys on their clean and fair play
ing. They also invited the Ierington
high school football team to an enter
tainment at Sparks high school Nov
ember 18th on which date the home
team will play Reno on the latter 5
ground. After the game Sparks ex-
poets them to go to the entertainment
which will consist OF a dinner and
dance that evening.
AS most OF you know, school spirit
or otherwise school Loyalty is one of
the most essential factors, that must
make up a school that is to be rccOg-
nized by its own community. and to es-
tablish its reputation throughout its
state.
Some communities hardly know
that they have a school, and if investi-
gated it will be found that this ignor-
ancc is due to the lack of school spirit
by it's students. If they are dong
anything or learning, it is up to the
individual student. each and every one,
to let the people know about it. and
boost the school along.
One OF the best ways to keep a
school spirit going is through athlct-
ics and dramatics There are draw
backs to these, as every student Is not
athletically inclined or is not inagin-
ativc or talented enough 10 enter into
dramatics, And ii is generally found
that it is through these students that
a school gets most OF its knocks. Or
even sometimes student OF this sort
thinks that he or she is real patriotic
but has the miscontrued idea, that
school spirit consists mainly OF seeing
how much roofing or noise they car
make on the sideines during an Nath-
ctic contest. They support then
school in this way and a roofing see
ton is essential to school contest
but school spirit should not end in th'
roofing gallery. What schoo
needs is each students support ii
their own homes and let outsiders
know that they are lively and up-to
date bunch, and that the decency ant
respect OF the school is as good as thu
community.

EARLY POTATOES
YIELD BEST CROP

According to word received from the
Dept. of Agriculture by County Agent
Buckman, potato shipments during the
first months of the main crop season
often depend less upon the size of the
crop than upon its earliness OF maturi-
ty, the price offered and the mental at
titude OF producers and buyers
A comparison of the estimated po-
tato crop and the early main crop
shipments and the prices during the
past five years will show a heavy move
ment in seasons of light crops and
fairly attractive early conditions, while
in seasons OF heavy production the
early shipments are light. Appar-
entity producers and dealers govern
their actions somewhat in accordance
with the impression left by events of
the preceding season. II season of
heavy supply and low prices preceded
holders remember the experience and
are more anxious to sell early. But
after a year OF comparatively high
prices holders are reluctant to meet
lower range of prices than those of the
previous season. AS matter of
fact, however, it is plain that in the
long run the price is influenced mainly
by the yield OF the same season and
only slightly by the conditions of the
season before
Early maturity is another cause that
often promotes active early shipments.
The most common cause OF early ma
turity is dry rot, hot season, which
also tends to cause shortage of the
crop.
The following table shows the ap-
parent correlation OF light crop, early
movement, and high prices for the
past four seasons.
