AMUNDsEN READY
To SAIL FOR POLE

SEATTLE, Wash.-A new region,
termed a veritable storage battery
of storms and Gains, will be opened
to investigation by Uncle Sans
weather man when Captain Road
Amundsen's Attic scientific expe-
dition begins its long eastward drift
with the Polar ice pack during the
coming summer. Complete me-
neurological reports, including tenn
peratures, barometic pressures and
wind moisture data, will be flashed
to Washington daily by wireless for
the benefit of the forecasters, the
explorer announced.
Captain Admundsen, who is per-
sonally supervising the Quitting of
his ship, the Maude, for the five
year Arctic drift, last week re-
luctantly parted with his garden of
grasses and flowers, transplanted
to the Maude two years ago from a
bleak bit of the farthest north coast
of asia, and which, although they
have withstood temperatures of
from so to 70 degrees below zero,
have thriven and grown larger.
The garden" will be sent to Nor
way there to await the return Of
the expedition from the polar fast
nesses.
Quitting of the Maude is prac-
tically complete and the vessel pre-
pared to sail from Seattle on the
first stretch of the voyage shortly.
Captain Amundsen was much en-
couraged few days ago to receive
from Nome, Alaska, word that the
winter had been the mildest in
more than twenty years, insuring
him a passage free from ice to
Wrangell Island, off the Siberian
coast. There the vessel will "freeze
in" with the eastward drifting pack.
When the Maude sails from Seat
tie members of the expedition will
be CARRIED in the clothing ordinarily
worn in the mid-latitudes. At Wran-
CELL Island they will be QUILTED
with complete sets of fur clothing,
made during the past winter by
Charles Carpendale, lone Siberian
trader, with whom Captain Amund-
sen placed the order more than a
year ago.

DAIRYINC BECOMING A
SCIENCE AT FALLON

According to report on dairying
published by l.. B. Cline, agricul-
turalist of Fallon, TAI head of cows
produced an average of 64.7 pounds
of butter and 1902 pounds Of
skim milk for each ton of hay used
during the month of May. This
production is figured on the rate of
butter at the market price of 3S
cents per pound and the prevailing
price of hay at S24.58 per ton, and
not counting the values of the
SKINNED milk. This report is of
milking cows regardless of the
lactation period and includes mostly
first-calf heifers. 1t is expected
that this production will be in
creased within the following months,
which all goes to show that dairying
in that section of the country is
being put on sound paying basis.

HIS TORIC SHIP
DEGTRNYED-

The former British frigate Mace
DOMAIN has been wrecked by fire
at her City Island pier, New York
The incident is reminder of one
of the hero tales with which Ameri-
can history is replete, but which are
given but casual mention or ignored
entirely in present day school text
books. The battle between the
American frigate, United States,
under The command of Stephen
Decatur, and Macedonian was one
of the momentous events of the war
of 1912, and added fresh laurels to
renown Of the American comman-
der. Stories such as the United
States-Maeedonian fight are the in
spiration OF our patriotism. No
history textbook, regardless of the
school grade in which it is intended
for use, is complete without stirring
accounts of those events. The first
impression the young pupil receives
when he enters school should be
one of respect for his government,
veneration for his statesmen, and
admiration for its heroes. They
should be kept constantly before
him during his course, and empha-
sized up to the day Of his gradual
ton.

THERE WILL BE
NO REVERSAL

With an air of telling something
new and important, the information
alists proclaim that the United
States "has not closed the door on
Russia" Of course not. But it
has closed and locked the door on
recognition of government that
practices reputation and confisca-
ton. 1t has also closed and locked
the door on interference with the
political affairs of Europe. The in
ternationalists, by their assertion
that the door has not been closed,
seek to create the impression that
the Harding administration stands
ready on slight pretext, to reverse
its policy of unfolding Americas
traditional avoidance of European
entanglements. They grasp at any
straw that seems to offer the least
encouragement to hope that they
may be able to cause the United
States to make the supreme sacri-
fee" advocated by Mr.. Wilson. Mr..
Harding was elected on the issue
of keeping out of Europe, he has
reiterated his stand on that subject,
and there is no chance whatever
that he will change his mind. The
internationalists might as well rec
oncile themselves to the inevitable
and turn their attention to the
restoration of America to normal.

WHO THREW
THAT BRICK

In the long ago in the Judean
country, a party was brought to the
only perfect judge the world has
ever known, accused of sin, "taken
in the act," as the Good Book says.
The Scribes and Pharisees said
that the party should be stoned
The good judge suggested that the
one without sin cast the first stone
The narrative goes on to say that
there were no stones thrown that
day. The race has changed since
that time and one is led to believe
that it is trying to make up for
lost time. A person does not have
to misstep in these days; just let
the appearance of evil show, and
the rock pile begins to move. The
question of guilt or innocence is an
after consideration. Throw the
stone first seems to be the order,
and consider later on. Too many
of us are not busy enough attend
ing to our business and therefore
have time to throw stones at our
neighbors, who may be just as
guiltless as we. 1t would be well
for US to know that our neighbor
is at fault before we begin throw
ing stones-and even then, it is
much better to let the stones alone.

NEVADA LETTER OF
WAsHIHGT Ne MS
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS

WASHINGTON, d. c., June II.
"A bill has been introduced in
Congress to substitute electrocu-
ton for hanging in the District Of
Columbia. Incidentally there is
some talk of considering the ad-
visibility of removing the gallows
from the prisoners dining room in
the district jails; but that is another
story. The subject is of interest
because it is advertising Nevada
and the lethal gas law of that state.
Several representatives have asked
to be advised of every phase of the
litigation now in progress over exc
cution by the gas route. All of
them have been surprised that a
condemned prisoner has heretofore
had his choice of hanging or being
shot to satisfy Nevada law.

A prominent couple who fire.
quently drive out into the country
in their automobile and enjoy a
quiet little supper for two at some
picturesque spot along the road
side, had an unusual experience the
other evening.
As they neared the spot selected
for this particular outing, the wife
exclaimed with dismay: ooh, I've
left the potato salaa at home.''
They were about ten miles from
town, but the husband was partic-
ularly fond of potato salad, so he
decided to go back for it. Reach
ing the home he dashed into the
house and soon reappeared at the
door. 81 can't find it," he called to
his wife who was sitting in the
car. "Why, its right there on the
kitchen table," she responded in
that tone of voice which marks a
wife's sympathy for her husbands
helplessness. The man went back
into the house and searched the
kitchen, then he returned to the
car and said firmly: at is not
there; I've looked everywhere. !"
The wife thought carefully. 81
