Return on Rail Investment.

Railroad officials and counsel always
have maintained that the recapture
clause in the transportation act be-
comes operative at per cent. regard
less Of the percentage which the Inter-
state Commerce Commission may for
the time being have fixed as a fair re-
turn on railway value. This was brought
out yesterday in answer to question as
TO whether or not the ruling OF the COM
mission on the rate reduction. which
pointed to 5N per cent as fair return.
superseded the clause in the transporta-
tion act which fixed the per cent. rate.

Filling the Papers

A newspaper is always in search of the
real live news of the community. But be-
cause an editor is always eagerly in search
of such news and is willing to go to much
trouble and expense in obtaining it, people
sometimes forget that newspaper space is
an expensive proposition, and get the i'm
preston that an editor is glad OF anything
to fill up.
No editor has the slightest trouble to
fill up the paper. The real problem is to
keep from filing the columns of the paper
with "stuff" the readers will not want to
wade through to the exclusion of the news
matter that they pay to get. There isn't
an issue that an editor doesn't cOnsign to
the waste basket or turn down enough mat
ter to fill the paper twice over without
room for line of news or advertising.
People often forget that newspaper
space is valuable, and that it is about the
only thing the newspaper has to sell. They
don't seem to understand that it must be
disposed of as carefully as a merchant
disposes of his stock of goods. Every now
and then Winnemucca citizen brings IN
an item that is not news in any sense of
the word, that is advertising pure and
simple, and that would mean taking up
space to boost someone's business. Even
the government is an offender, and every
mail brings lot of propaganda that ought
to be paid for, but which is offered 'just
to help fill up the paper" The fact that an
article has merit doesn't Always mean it
should be printed. If it isn't news the only
question to be considered is whether it
will be sufficiently interesting to the ma
jority of our readers, that they would like
to read it, and whether it is more inter-
esting and of more value than other matter
that will have to be omitted if it is given
space. And the editor alone must be the
Judge of that.

There is great lesson fer the Winnie
mucca man or woman who is constantly
imagining they are i'll in the life and death
of Herbert McCarty, who died few
weeks ago in Pennsylvania. He was a
world war veteran and shortly before the
armistice was signed he was riddled with
German bullets. He was bro ught home to
battle for life for almost four years in
hospitals, with 20 machine gun bullets in
his body. In 48 operations he underwent,
Is of them had been removed. The other
two he carried to his grave with him. Dur
ing the 48 operations the surgeons re-
moved Ia of his ribs his collarbones and
part of one shoulder blade. His wounds
and the operations made wreck of his
body, but despite this he had recovered,
prior to his death, sufficiently to leave the
hospital for short periods That he lived
for four years with such ply steal shock is
almost unbelievable. But he did, and
therein is lesson for those who are CO.
stantly complaining of little aches and
pains, those whose ailments are largely
imaginary-those who appear to think ma
ture holds some special grudge against
them.

Remember Ypres-
There were days nearly eight years ago
when millions of men and women turned
anxious eyes toward the little Belgian
town, Ypres. But no one had more
reason to look dismally into the future
than did the inhabitants of this town.
For they were directly in the path of a
great army, SO that no matter which side
won, Ypres and its people would be the
sufferers.
And so they were. AS the months
dragged by and grew into years. these
people were made to witness and ex-
perience all chat it is humanity possible
for anyone to see and feel and still desire
to live All the horror and tragedy Of
modern warfare came into their daily
lives. To the boom of the cannon they
went to bed, only to arise on the morrow
with grief and miserable foreboding in
their hearts. Finally like another car
thage, Ypres was destroyed.
In days to come there will be written
many books about the great war. With
infinite detail, as is their wont, historians
will draw maps and charts and make
numerical estimates of men engaged and
battles won and lost and damage done.
But each one of the countless chapters
written will be only a REPETITION of the
preceding one; nor will the total aggregate
of books about the war tell us anything
more than can be learned from half hour
reading of what befell Ypres and is un-
fortunate citizens.
This Belgian town is now being rebuilt
For two years 5000 workers have been en-
gagged in little more than removing the
wreckage and clearing the ground for new
buildings. 1t is said that % long and busy
years Of labor will have to be put in by
these men to bring Ypres back to its
former state. And there will be much
that can never be replaced.
The members of the National Council
for the reduction of araments who are
organizing an aggressive campaign for
mo More War" would do we'll to make
use of what happened to Ypres. In fight
ing it took probably only a few days to
lay waste this town, but it will take 30
years to rebuild it.
There is excellent campaign material
against war in the story of the fall of
Ypres.

Many residents of towns the size of
Winnemucca make the mistake of think
ing that the only opportunities worth hav-
ing are in the big cities But it is a good
idea to remember that in big city, with
higher wages, you have higher living ex-
penses. People in big cities live at such a
rate and spend so much time covering long
distances that they have little thought or
interest for strangers. You may find en-
|ployment in store or factory where you
never know the man or woman in the next
department, or what they are doing. You
may work for five years in an organization
land never see the "boss." An office po-
sition may mean that you are forced to
sit at desk on one monotonous process
day in and day out, while in the smaller
towns, where everyone knows you and you
know everyone, job means that dozen
times a day you have an opportunity to
be assistant to the head of the concern"

YEGGS CRACK CRIBS
IN JAX AND COPS Up
IN AIR TO CATCH EN-
(By Associated Press)

Jacksonville, May 12-Operations Of
cracksmen and burglars in Jackson
vile during the last week are causing
local policd mo little concern, the
latest robbery being that of the B. H.
Chadwick Furniture Co., where $780,
900 worth of bonds and about 500
in cash was secured.
Last Monday morning number of
safes were cracked in the down town
district, these including those in the
offices of the Peninsular State Oil
Company, 2S2 West Bay street; John
son and McIlvaine, lawyers, 1T Gra-
ham building; R. G. Dun Company,
212 West Forsyth street; Thomas W.
McIlvaine, attorney, Graham build
ing; William C. Guthrie, attorney, 215
Mitchell building; and Guaranty Title
and Mortage Company Mitchell build
ing.
No big hauls, however, have been
made by the yeggs. Probably the
largest single reward for their work
being in the Dun office, where Lib
erty bonds and war savings stamps
aggregating nearly 5000 were secur-
ed. Two rings, valued at $500, were
secured from the office of McIlvaine
and johnson.
While the cracksmen succeeded in
opening the outer doors of the safe
in the office of the Guaranty Title
and Mortgage Company, the inner
doors withstood their attacks.
House RObberies
In addition to the operation of
yeggmen in the business district,
scores of residences have been enter
ed by sneak thieves during the week,
and many articles of value stolen.
The detective squad, and the uni
form force have been actively at
work endeavoring to solve the rob
berries, many vagrants, suspicious
characters, and Changers on" around
cheap hotels, cafes and poolrooms be-
ing gathered in and sent to the prison

Peterman Mine Is
Blown Up by Heavy
Charge of Dynamite
(By Associated Press,

Pittsburg, May 12.-The Petermar
mine in Penn township, near here
was blown up early today by heavy
charge of dynamite which threw
stones so far that the farmhouse of
George Vessel almost a quarter of
mile away was damaged. Sheriff
Robert w. Woodside, with big force
of deputies, left Pittsburg shortly
after 9 a. m. for the mine, where, it
was reported, body of coal strike
sympathizers had collected
New York, May 12.-Henry
Hirsch; the jeweler arrested on a
charge of acting in concert with the
two men and the woman already ar
rested in connection with the theft
of $50O,OOO worth of Liberty bonds
from the Chase National bank on
April II, was released today under
$4,000 bail.
Hirsch's arrest followed a confess
sion which detectives said was made
by Arthur F. Chase, watchman at
the Chase National bank, who was
arrested at the bank while on duty
Wednesday. Chase, according to the
detectives, said that Mrs. Vardeman,
who with her husband, John W. Var
deman, are under arrest in Savannah,
Ga, went to Hirsch's office and ask
ed him to sell $4,000 worth of the
stolen bonds. According to the con-
fession, Hirsch told the woman to
bring the bonds and that the next
day when she did so she was held up
and robbed of them in the building
where Hirsch had had his office.
Hirsch denied the story when ar
rested and declared that the woman,
who was known to him as Mrs. Hol-
lie and Mrs. LaBlanche, had told
him that the bonds which she asked
him to cash had been put up by a
man who was backing her in theat-
rical venture. He declared that at
mo time had she shown him the bonds
or handled them in his office.
