National Defense Committee News.
By EDGAR OWENS.

Iand the Wolf.
San Francisco reports one arres'
on April goth. The comrade wa.
charged with posting stickers. H,
was found guilty and sentenced tt
80 days in Jail. On May 9Th Floyc
Ramp and William Costley were ar.
rested for speaking in hall meet
ing. They were held in Jail over
night and released on bail next day
When they came up for trial the de-
tectiye making the arrests charged
them with taking a collection tc
finance the revolution, but the magis-
trate ruled the evidence" was in.
sufficient to hold them and the case
was dismissed.
The status of the cases previous
to May 1st in which the NATIONAL
DEFENSE COMMITTEE is assist
ing are about the same as stated in
the last report. The five New York
cases, that is, Larkin, Gitlow, Win
nitsky, Ferguson and Ruthenberg are
pending ON appeal. Certificates of
reasonable doubt were denied which
means the comrades will have to
remain in prison pending the dis
position of their cases in the higher
courts. Printing of records, which
must be done before the cases can go
forward involves a printing expense of
100000. Comrade Ferguson who is
an able attorney has prepared the
briefs in these cases in his spare time
in prison which cuts down expenses
considerably. But nothing further
can be done until funds for printing
the records are forthcoming. The
Chicago Communist cases go to the
State Supreme Court in August. In
this instance 20 men were convicted
last August on a conspiracy charge
and sent enced to PRISON for
terms ranging from one to five years.
The two Southern Illinois cases, Carr
and Hewlett, will go to trial at an
early date. In San Francisco the
trials of Reed and Ragsdale have
again been continued. The appeals
of Jack Carney and j. O. Bentall
who were convicted in the federal
court in Minnesota for violation of
war time legislation will probably
be decided this summer. Deportation
proceedings against A. E. Georgian
of Minneapolis will be reviewed by
the United States Supreme Court on
a writ of Certiorari. Numerous de-
portation proceedings are pending in
many quarters. Workers are defend
ing these cases. Your help is needed.

Do you know that American coal

SILVER STATE AGAIN ISSUES

The Silver State. published at Win
nemucca by w. H. Ayres, is again be-
ing issued in regular form, new equip
ment being installed to take the place
of that which was destroyed by fire
few months ago. 1t is a dishearten-
ing undertaking to gather up the loose
ends of a newspaper business that has
suffered destruction by fire, but Edi-
tor Ayres is not made of the stuff that
knows defeat as is evidenced by the
new Silver State which is bigger and
better than ever. c. w. Black, one of
the best newspaper men in Nevada,
and a former owner of the Fallon
Standard, has been secured as asso-
ciate editor of The Silver State by Mr..
Ayres. The publisher of The Silver
State is deserving of the hearty sup
port of the business men and citizens
of Humboldt county for his undaunted
courage.

MANY HEREF0RDS ARE BEING
RAISED IN THIS STATE

The 1920 government census figures
which have recently been made pub
lie, reveal some very interesting cattle
facts. These figures show that there
are 2422 registered Hereford cattle in
Nevada. The greatest number of any
other breed is 617, which makes the
Herefords lead by about four to one.
The figures also show about six times
as many Hereford bulls in service and
five times as many farms reporting
the production of registered Herefords
as any other other breed of cattle
For the entire United States, the
census shows 1881 farms engaged
in the raising of purebred Herefords,
1882 registered Herefords, 159, ,126
registered Hereford bulls in service,
19, ,264 more than any other beef breed.
For every 100 Hereford bulls there
are only 81 Shorthorns and 20 Aber-
deen-Angus. Twenty-Five states have
m oreregistered Herefords than regis

DAY AT
THE LUTHERAN CHURCH

The annual Thanksgiving and Har-
vest Home Festival was celebrated in
an unusual manner at Trinity church
last Thursday. The fore part of the
church was sight worth seeing.
The thank-offerings of the members
were banked up and artisticaily ar
ranged. There were sacks of potatoes,
carrots, and flour, There was
pyramid OF butter and honey, and a
table on which an array of canned
goods made a fine display. The church
was beautifully decorated with gar
lands of greens and fall foliage, ever
greens, manzanita, pine branches, and
large cones, while sheaves of wheat
barley, and oats, about which pump
kins, squash, and citrons were banked,
reflected the fertility of the soil of
the valley. Other donations which
helped to make for variety and filled
out the beautiful picture of Gods
bounty were cabbages, onions, beets,
and apples. But it had to be seen in
order to be appreciated and many
were the words of favorable comment.
A large assembly of worshippers
were in attendance. In his sermon,
Rev. Felten dwelt on the many rea-
sons for giving thanks, stressing
peace, and the bountiful harvest of
the nation, upon which all business
and industry depends. While our in
dustrial and commercial world is, and
has not been in fourishing condi-
tion of late years, he said was this
not, perhaps, just what We needed to
remind us of our utter dependence
and which would or should lead us to
appreciate prosperity when it falls
to our lot? He admonished his con-
gregation to combine with the praise
of the lips and heart the conservation
of their lives to the service of the
Master. Gratitude is to show forth in
our lives by doing the will of Him to
whom we owe our very being, in lead
ing others to the knowledge of Him
and in doing good to our fellowmen.
The sermon closed with plea for a
living Christianity and loyalty to God
and country.
1t was an exceedingly inspiring SER
vice and will live long in the mem
ory of all who attended.

San Francisco, through its buyer, Ike
Strosnider. this week purchased one
thousand head of lambs from Geo

The Hussman lambs we're born In
April, and during the summer were

time and the shipping weight of the
consignment that left yesterday av-
eraged so pounds for the entire lot
In dollars and cents, Mr.. Hussman
realized from 1926 to $3.50 per head
which is considered top price.
Mr.. Strosnider, the Virden Packing
Company buyer, has visited different
sections of Nevada during the past
few weeks buying sheep for his COM
pany and he declared while here that
the Hussman flock far excelled any
lambs that he saw on his travels over
the state, and he selected 1000 head
that will be butchered ON the Coast
for the holiday trade. The lambs that
were shipped yesterday are as fat as
can be and are a prize lot, according

REGISTERED BULLS,
FOR RANGE HERDS


Twenty-nine registered Shorthoru
bulls, recently purchased by Ed. Full
stone from the Warm Greek Land and
Cattle Company of Elko for the Walk
er River Rangers Association arrived
at the Minden stockyards Sunday, and
Monday members of the association
met at Minden to take delivery of the
herd sires.
In order to make a just distribu-
tion of the animals, a drawing was
held Monday afternoon at the forest
office under the supervision of Su-
peryisor Maule. A disinterested party
drew numbers from hat that cores
ponded with numbers previously
placed on the bulls and after the
drawing, the twenty or more men went
to the stockyards and selected their
animals by number There was no
possible chance for disappointment
because the sires were exceptionally
fine animals, the only difference being
in age.
The purchase of the registered sires
by the Walker River Rangers Asso-
citation Is big step forward in a de-
sire to better the beef animals of An
telope, Smith. and Carson Valley farm
ers that range their stock In the Mono
National Forest. The plan was sug-
gested some months ago, and In Oc-
tober the stockmen met at Minden to
discuss the adyisability of sudh a
step At that time there was some
little difference of opinion as to the
breed to be adopted and by a major
ity vote the Shorthorn Durhams were
selected Ed. Fulstone was delegated
to make the purchase of the animals
and found what he wanted in Elko
county. Soon after the deal was
closed, wire was received by Mr.
Fulstone Offering him $l400 for his
bargain. lie notified the stockmen OF
OF the association of the offer and 1t
was quickly decided that II the bulls
were worth that much to others, they
we're Of equal value to the Walker
River Association and the offer was
refused.
The stockmens' association has been
commended by Paul G. Reddington,
district forester, for its action in pro-
yiding registered sires for range stock
and no doubt other associations that
use the national forests will follow
the example set by the Walker River
rangers.
Among those present at the meet
ing held in Minden Monday were ::
James Powell, II. A. Pitts, Arthur
Pitts, Brueh Chichester, of Antelope
Valley; r. c. Terry, Ed. Fulstone, and
others from Smith Valley; Fritz

WORK STARTED ON
KINGSBURY GRADE

The Carson Valley Highway Asso-
citation has crew of men at work
surfacing the road In the canyon lead
ing to Kingsbury grade and likewise
has several teams employed grayeling
q portion of the road that leads from
the main highway near the c. II.
Springmeyer ranch to the foot of the
grade.
The work now being done on the
kingsbury grade is under the super
vision of Oscar Van Sickle and is OF
experimental nature. The material
that is being used is obtained from the
mountain near Valley Springs, and is
believed by those familiar with road
material, to be particularly adapted
to surfacing roads and composed OF
a formation that will pack we'll and
remain hard under all sorts of condi-
tions.
About half mile or more of the
grade will be treated this fall il wea-
ther conditions permit, and after the
surfacing is completed it will be har-
rowed well. During the winter
storms it is believed that it will pack
down and from the fact that this por-
ton of the road is open to travel a
month or more before the lake roac
is, will give ample opportunity to
test the results. II it proves sue.
cessful, as many believe 1t will, other
portions of the road will be treated
with this material in the spring.
