COAL DISCOVERY is
REPORTED NEAR WABUSkA

z A discovery of coal at Wabuska
has lead to the filing of number
Of applications by San Francisco
people for patent in the United
States land office, according to Mrs.
M. l.. Bray, register. The coal find
is said to be close to the Southern
Pacific railroad at Wabuska, and an
easy handling of coal would be
possible.
In Mineral county also, Mrs. Bray
reports, there has been some &C
tivity in applications for patent,
but the coal field is sixteen miles
from the railroad there, and the
number Of applications has not been
as large.-Carson Appeal.

TOBACCO COMPANY
URGES FIRE CARE

"Be sure to extinguish match
cigar or cigarette before THROWING
away" This warning now appears
on the cigarette packages of one o,
the largest American tobacco com.
panies and is the first example N
its kind in the United States.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
in whose department the forest ser.
vice administers its 156 million
acers Of national forests, wrote the
tobacco company expressing his
qualification over their action.
"The fire danger incident to the
use of matches and tobacco" writes
Secretary Wallace, "is usually given
little consideration by the vast army
of smokers. Statistics compiled by
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's show that the annual loss
from fires caused by matches and
burning tobacco in the United
States reached the impressive total
of more than $73,00O,0 900 during
the five-year period 1915 to 1919,
inclusive. To this total must be
added a considerable percentage
of the unnecessary fire destruction
in the forests of our country, where
each year fires destroy or damage
sufficient timber to build homes for
the entire population of a city the
size of Washington, New Orleans,
Denver or San Francisco.
''In the vast areas of the ma
tional forests under the administra-
ton Of the department, the woods
workers of all kinds smoke in the
forests. A single lighted match or
glowing cigarette carelessly thrown
aside may cost the government
thousands of dollars for fire fight
ing, to say nothing of the timber
destroyed, the harm done to water
flow, and the desolation of scenic
features. During 1921, over 500
fires occurred on the national for
ests. OF these eighty per cent were
man-caused and 732 have been
traced to careless smokers.
"The government alone can do
comparatively little toward Kidding
our country of this fire menace
which year after year improvishes
the national wealth. Public con-
science must be awakened to the
end that we may have in the United
States one hundred and five million
self-appointed fire wardens.
at is therefore, particularly
to feel that the example
set by your company will materially
aid the efforts of this department
toward eliminating smokers fires"

NEON AND THE AURORA

By means of sounding balloons
there have been collected specimens
Of the air up to an altitude of more
than eight and half miles. An
alysis shows the presence of helium
only in the layers lower than about
six miles. Neon, on the contrary,
is regarded as confirming the iden-
tifcation of several spectrosdopic
lines of neon in the spectrum OF

NOSE PRINTS Of
CATTLE ARE TAKEN

ST. PAUL, Min.-Bertillion ex-
pertry in the purebred cattle in
dustry, and innovation in the iden-
LITIGATION of the animals by "nose
prints" is the latest subject cattle
men will have to learn with the
spreading of the practice among
livestock men.
Experimental with last October
at the university farm here by W.
Z. Peterson, superintendent of Off
cial testing in Minnesota, at the sug-
gestion of O. H. Baker, of the
American Jersey Cattle Club, the
new identification system has acted
as a substitute for the unsatis-
factory branding methods, in use
for years past.
More than 1000 prints have been
taken and are on file, and not two
have been found alike. When the
suggestion had reached the ears
of many of the leading cattle breed
ers, it was regarded as a humor-
Gus of "air talk" but like the days
subsequent to the development OF
the Bertillion system and its &C
ceptance by the world generally
the past few months proved the
efficacy of the new identification
system.
The procedure in making the nose
prints is simple. The cows head is

WHEN SHE HAS GONE

"Woman's place is at home, and
she should stay there" was the
opinion Of the municipal board of
Versailles, France, when, some little
time back, they considered a pro-
posal to admit women in the higher
municipal posts. And the report
says that women should not be en-
couraged to apply for administra-
tive positions, bat should remember
that they would do better to con-
fine their activities to the home.

Watch Your Step

Young man and young woman,
you who have but recently stepped
from the portals of your high
school to enter the active life of
the business world, watch your step.
Now is the time when you will
form new acquaintance many of
which will have distinct influence
on your future.
It's up to you to make these ac-
quaintances profitable.
You will be judged in a large
measure by your friendships and
associates. If they are the proper
kind, you will be considered the
proper sort, and fortunately you
are able to select them yourselves.
You do not need to select from
your immediate neighborhood OF
even from your own time, for al
though few of us have the oppor-
tunity to number such men as

Premier Lloyd George of England

we can become acquainted with
them, at their best, by reading
their writings and speeches.
You can become acquainted with
