SQUIRRELS TO Be
POISONED At ONCE
Orovada District to be Scene of
Activities Commencing Next
Thursday and Officials and Res
idents Will Cooperate

Squirrels are to be poisoned by
the wholesale in the Orovada
neighborhood throughout the last
half of next week and cooperating
with the farmers in the rodent
determination campaign will be E.
R. Sans, head of the federal bio
logical survey for Nevada. The
work of placing poison will be in
stituted commencing with next
Thursday morning and hungry
squirrels will devour the bait in an
avid manner just now, say the
authorities, because of the fact that
they have terminated their winter
Information period and have come
out to face a bleak, desolate and
foodless land. 1t is considered vi
tally important to place poison in
advance of the entry into the world
of the myriads of little squirrels
that would otherwise be scampering
about in a few weeks doing destruc-
tion after the fashion of squirrels
generally.
Oats, covered with strychnine, are
to be used in bringing about the
downfall of Orovada squirreldom,
this costing the settlers 13 cents per
pound, obtained from the biological
survey. Had Humboldt county's au-
horities co-operated in the campaign
being carried on over the state in
ridding Nevada of noxious animals,
the settlers would have been privi-
legged to buy this poisoned grain for
10 cents pound, rate in effect
in other counties where this CO.
operative effort is being put for
ward.

STOCKMEN WILL
ORGANIZE HERE
Representatives Will Be in This
City Tomorrow From Northern
Nevada Districts and An
Organization Perfected

Stockmen representing many
northern and eastern Nevada dis
tricts will be in this city tomorrow
for the purpose of formally perfect
ing the organization of loan asso-
citation to participate in the war
finance board activities up to next
July 1st. Articles of incorporation,
already drawn by attorneys, pro-
scribe a capital stock of 100000,
which is now subscribed by stock
men in the counties of Humboldt,
Elko, Eureka, Lander and Pershing.
The loaning limit of the association
is to be 100000, a substantial sum
that will go long way in amelio-
rating the stringency existing in
stock circles within the territory to
be served.
Among those who will attend TO-
morrow's meeting is George B. Rus
sell Jr. of Elko, present head of the
Nevada Livestock Growers Associa-
tion, while practically all of the five
counties named will have represen-
tation at the meeting, which is to
be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning at the First National bank
building in this city.
State Senator J. Sheehan has been
particularly active in bringing about
the organization and considerable
credit is his distinct due.
A full set of officers and directors
are to be named at the meeting and
it is given out that no time is to be
lost in getting in touch with the fed
eral authorities at Washington and
placing loan applications, inasmuch
as money advances will not be made
after next July 1st.

SECRETARY
ADVISES MEXICAN HELP

The Humboldt county chamber of
commerce has received a communi-
cation from Vernon L. Metcalf, sec
retary of the Nevada Livestock
Growers association, which was
prompted by recent article in The
Silver State, recording scarcity of
help on sheep plants in this county,
together with the evils that are at
tending. Mr.. Metcalf is familiar
with the immigration laws of the
United States and anticipates no
mitigation of the present conditions
unless sheepmen set about and en-
ploy Mexican help. This class of
help, he asserts, is the only hope of
western sheepmen at the present
time.
Mr.. Metcalf further stated that
the present season is witnessing a
wholesale exodus of both French
and Spanish people, formerly en-
gagged in the western stock industry,
the home lands holding out special
attractions for them at this time.
The Humboldt County chamber of
Commerce has a committee at work
investigating the labor conditions
insofar as they affect the sheep in
dustry of northern Nevada, and to
the members Of this committee Mr.
Metcalf's letter will prove enlight-
ening.

SAYS WINNEMUCCA is
SPOTLESS MUNICIPALITY

J. w. Randolph, aged Snowman,
was a Winnemucca visitor Monday.
AS an advance man he includes
within his chores the task of paint
ing the town white to herald the at
traction he represents. 1t is his
custom to visit the alleys of city
and there get a can to mix his
whitening in, but he was thwarted
in his purpose here. Commenting
later, he said: 81 have been in near
ly every city, town and hamlet in
America in my seventy years Of
living and this is the first place l
have visited that I could not find
more or less readily a discarded
empty receptacle Of some kind"
Thus the old Snowman paid the
present city administration a dis
tinct compliment.

OFFICIALS ARE DOING
MEAL TICKET BUSINESS

County and city officials complain
in highly acrimonious terms over the
tremendous demand made upon
them for free meal tickets, recently
prepared under the direction of
Winnemucca Chapter, American Red
Cross. Red Cross authorities do not
want men to go hungry when in
this vicinity, while the county Off
cials feel, transversely, that men
who will not work should continue
their peregrinations with stomachs
empty.
Deputy Sheriff C. w. Muller and
Chief of Police X. G. Lamb are
beset with importuning, no matter
which way they turn, and neither
have had time to go home for their
MONDAY meal since the charity was
attempted.

FREE MEAL MUST
BE ATONED FOR

A strapping youth, giving his
name as Joe Gilholl, which is doubt
less an alias, was taken into custody
Saturday evening by Chief Of Police
K. G. Lamb after hot chase down
Bridge street. The young mans
specific offense was ordering and
eating a meal in a local restaurant
and later walking out without COM
pensating the Chinese proprietor,
who voiced vigorous protest. A
companion, shorter and more agile,
succeeded in getting away. Gilholl
was arraigned yesterday in the po-
lice court and pleaded guilty to dis
turbing the peace of this sovereign
city, receiving a ten-day sentence
at the instance of Judge Tom Shone,
and thus Gillholl was added to the
list of court house attaches. 1t is
his job at present to spread fer
tilizer on new ground on the court
house plot so that it can be made
into a green sward and he seems to
enjoy his assignment. His only re-
gret has to do with losing his part
ner. Both were en- route from no.
where and were going nowhere.
Just moving about and the urge of
empty stomachs prompted the call
at the restaurant where earlier Sat-
urday afternoon four hoboes had
worked the free meal ruse and got
away.

PSYCHOLOGIST EXPLAINS WHY THINGS HAPPEN";
 TONIGHT AT ELKS' HALL

During her discussion last night in her lecture on the subject, "Choos- ing Vocation, Square Pegs in Round Holes," at Elks' Hall, Miss Orcella Rexford amazed her audience by an alysis of the character, environment audience Her point was that most of the people, especially in America. were misnamed. She said that giv- en name which did not fit a person s soul or personality gave off vibrations which hindered his work in life just as much as unharmonious colors or discordant music upset ones nerves momentarily.
 The science of name vibration, ac- cording to Miss Rexford, has come down to us from 800 B. C., when Pytha goras handed down the theory of letters to character when he said, 'Show me the alphabet of nation and I will tell you the character of its people"
 z Tonight Miss Rexford will give every member of the audience in- dividual attention, in her lecture The Law of Rythm.' She will explain the reason for the truth that history repeats itself" She will show how much numbers are a vital part of our very existance and in how man ways we use them in our daily life. She will explain the World War in its relation to vii bration and the cycle of time. In- dividual problems will be explained and aided.
 The. lecture will begin at 8:30 o'clock. The committee in charge are pleased that the people of Juneau are taking such an interest in the lectures and the attempts of the American Legion to swell its building fund and expect the hall 10 be packed tonight.

 The impossibiiity of / securing transmitting tubes for commercial use for wireless broadcasting sets has killed any attempt of group or individual in establishing broadcast. ing stations said o. F.

 The manufacture and sale of the instruments is controlled by the American Telephone & Telegraph Company. the Bell System. which holds pa ent for the rights of the commercial uae of the transmitting tubes. The Western Electric Com. pany, also the Bell System. is the manufacturing institution for the telephone company.

 The whole thing is that the Amer ican Telephone & Telegraph Com pany is not going to allow any in. Judgements on it's legal rights. The transmitting tubes were used by the company for long distance telephony before radio became commercialized and the rights for commercial use were patented when the instrument was first used

 MAY BE SUCCESS
Delegate Wires Officials Fav- or Keeping Local Radio
 Plant Operating.

That the efforts taken to pre- vent the closing of the local |. S. Naval Radio Station may be sue tcessful, was indicated today in a telegram received by Gov. Scott C. Bone from Delegate Sutherland in which the latter said that he had taken up the matter with various officials in the Navy Communities tions Service and with the Navy De- partment directly The Delegate was hopeful that the authorization to close the station would not be carried out.
 Following the publication in The Empire early this week of the steps being taken by the Naval ~authori- tics to shut down the local plant, Gov. Bone immediately wired Dele gate Sutherland definitely stating his objections and the reasons there for to the plan. He asked the. Dele gate to present these to the Depart ment and add his own protest against the closing.
 In his reply to the Governor, the Delegate said that prior to receiv- ing the formers telegram, he had already called on Naval Communi- cations officials and following his protest had been told that the sta- tion would probably remain in op- eration The Delegate also said he was taking the matter direct to As sistant Secretary Roosevelt and pre- senting to him the Governors pro- test.
