Ely Bond Issue
The $4,000 bond issue recently
authorized by the mayor and city
council of Ely has been practically
all taken up locally.
The banks have subscribed for
Sal 500 worth Of the bonds and
the remaining $500 worth are now
being considered by a resident of
Ely.
The city authorities are naturally
inclined to give the preference in
the sale to residents of the district.
In the event the small amount still
unsold is not taken up within the
next few days, however, it is under
stood that Charles L. Richards, can
didate for congress, stands ready
and willing to take up the re-
mainder of the issue.
The promptness with which these
bonds have been taken up is proof
positive of the faith which con-
sentative men have in the city of
Ely.-White Pine News.

One political observer who has
been studying the situation quite
impartially makes the prediction
that Scrugham will be elected gov
ernor over Miller by about 100,
according to his view, Scrugham
will carry Clark, Elko, Esmeralda,
Humboldt, Lander, Lincoln, Nye,

counties, while Miller will secure
Churchill, Douglas, Eureka, Lyon,
Mineral, Story and Washoe, the
latter, however, by only a small
margin, as Scrugham is known to

1t is noteworthy that during con-
sideration of the tariff bill in the
recent session of congress, numerous
Southern organizations endorsed
protective rates. This is a COM
paratively new attitude for a South
ern organization to take. Never
theless, it is apparent that Southern
craftsmanship has not kept step
with Southern business acumen, for
Southern members of both houses
of Congress were almost unanimous
in voting against the protective
tariff bill on its final passage.
Southern politicians, like many
Southern journalists, stubbornly ad.
here to outgrown economic theories.
Their eyes are upon the past rather
than upon the future.
In many respects the South is
peculiarly endowed with resources
which promise a marvellous develop
ment in manufacturing. The South
has coal; it has almost every form
OF raw material; it has abundant
unused water power; it has facili-
ties for both domestic and trans
oceanic shipping. These among
other advantages, have resulted in
great growth of textile manu-
facutring until today one-half of
the cotton goods manufactured in
the United States are produced in
the South.

The Honorable Scrugham has
just cause to file suit for libel
against the editor of the Tonopah
Times, who pokes fun at the man
thuswise: "He is a man of ac-
tion." That is a mean dig at the
man who is accused of doing little
else but CAD over the state at the
taxpayers expense. Not satisfied
with that, the californian continues
with this: "He is an executive of
modesty who does not trumpet his
doings." Let's see--let's see-how
runs the story? Can Sambo

Speaking of wages how would you
like to be the plasterer? One of
Chicago's largest contractors says:
"A plasterer is entitled to $44 a
week under the Lands award. On
one house / am building in the su-
burbs, a plasterer receives $12 a
day as regular wages and Sc a day
overtime, or 500 for five days,
excluding Saturday. For Satur-
day he receives Sc for his regular
mornings work and $12 for the
afternoon, which is overtime. This
gives him $108 for six days work.
Some plasterers work Sundays and
for eight hours overtime receive
$24 additional or total for the
seyen-day week of 1892. In 1917
it cost approximately $500 to plaster
an average house. Now it costs
$22O0." In other words, it costs
almost as much to plaster a house
today as it did to build a sub
stantial structure in 1917. If the
average farmer makes as much a
month as the Chicago plasterer
does a week, he is apt to be pretty
well satisfied. And he doesn't
call eight hours day either.
Prohibition enforcement is now
to be confined to the three-mile
limit at sea. That will not ma
terially help the enforcement Of
ficers, however, who will still con-
tinue "at sea-" in much the same
manner that has prevailed since the
first attempt to stop the manu-
facture and sale of booze. Just so
long as there are buyers, there will
be statesmen ready to supply their
wants. Whenever the time comes
that the buyer will be deemed a
law violator and made to suffer the
same penalty as the seller, prohi-
bition will be a possibility, at least;
and until that day dawns prohibi-
ton will continue to be little short
of traversty.

estimated at $1,000, 100000 at the
start of the world war. All that is
now being turned over to native
concerns and the American COM
panies will leave Europe with the
exception of the British Isles. The
reasons for that reversal of policy
are the depreciation of money, ex-
cessive taxes, constantly mounting
salaries and wages, unfavorable
legislation, unfair court decisions,
and inability to forecast what is
likely to happen in the countries
of Continental Europe. Some of
the best business minds in the coun-
try direct the affairs Of those
great insurance companies, and their
judgment of old world conditions
must be accepted as sound. That
is the situation into which some Of
our prominent citizens, more gifted
with enthusiasm than with intelli-
gence, have sought to involve the
United States. What is regarded as
menace to the treasures of in
surance companies would be even
more of a danger to the United
States Treasury. Certain loss to
US in money and men would fol-
low such an ENHANCEMENT, and we
would gain no friendships but
evoke many jealousies.

PROVE VALUE OF
OILED WRAPPERS
Control "Scald" of Apples IL
Oil Percentage Is
Right.

Results during 1921 in preventing
apple scald in stored apples by the
use of oiled-paper wrappers have con.
firmed all revious reports that the
trouble may be controlled in this way.
if the oiled wrappers carry a suffi-
GENTLY high percentage of oil. The
United States department of agricuI-
ture has recommended that the wrap
pers should carry Is to 20 per cent of
oil il they are to be effective in pre-
venting the development of scald.
When wrappers carrying a low proper
ton of oil, in some cases as low as
per cent, have been used poorer re-
suits have been obtained
The demand for the right type OF
oiled wrappers for apples has been SO
great that many of the orders from
growers have not been filled. About

oiled wrappers at Wenatchee, Wash,
last season, and a similar number at

The gases which cause scald can be
