ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NEWS NOTES
GLADYS rREcAsKIs, Editor in Chief

Leslie Brophey has donated rs
books to the school library. The
donation is an act of generosity
highly appreciated by the school.
A thrift survey of the schools
is revealing some interesting facts.
The following pupils of the A.
Seventh grade, Gustav Seeliger,
Blanche Cosby, Frank Ford, Clara
Grayson, Bobbie Rossier, Leslie
Brophy, Maude Kicks, Grace Guth-
RE, Alton Poulin and Ruby Hirzel
have personal savings amounting
to the grand total of $1158.42.
Thrift involves the earning of
money, the saving of money, the in
vesting of money, and the wise
spending of money. 1t is based on
the conservation Of time, health and
energy. Thrift is the distinguish
ing mark of the civilized man. He
subordinates present pleasure to
future gain. The primitive man is
improvident and thinks only of the
present. The late John Wanamaker
said, mo boy ever became great
as a man who did not in his youth to
learn to save money" $25 invested
in a savings accounts will at per
cent interest compounded every
six months amount at the end of
TIA years to $50 without any ex-
pense of time or trouble to the
investor. We are the most reck-
lessly extravagant people on earth.
One of the indispensable lessons
that American youth needs is the
incubation of thrift habits. FL
bert Hubbard says: Every child
should have a bank account and
be taught to make it grow gradually
but surely. An intelligently man
aged bank account gives youth its
start in life, middle age its COM
potency, and old age its comforts
and security"
The following pupils are practic-
ing thrift in a very fundamental
way. Each of them during the past
two weeks performed 75 per cent
or more of the home health chores
and are now enrolled as a page in
the Health Crusade. If each con-
tinue the chores for the next three
weeks they will attain the rank of
Knight and be entitled to wear a
Knights badge.

RABBITS EASY FOR
COYOTES IN SNOW

How the coyotes and swift foxes
of the Nevada deserts are feasting
on jackrabbits now!
The deep snow makes it easy to
catch the rabbits and their natural
enemies are making the most of it.
At point on the Cherry Creek
road, about nine miles north of
Ely, two coyotes had stalked, way
laid and eaten two rabbits in a
space of ten feet of each other,
leaving blood, fur and four pairs
of legs there as evidence of the
kill which had happened in the day
time Wednesday.
The snow has covered the sage
brush and crossword and the rab-
bits are camping underneath with
only one opening for ingress and
egress. Coyotes are not overly ac-
tive during and after a storm and
will go for days without food, but
when they go out under conditions
similar to the present they do not
have to go far. With their mar
velous sense of smell they will To-
cate alternating rabbit under a
brush and snow, sneak up from the
open side of his hut and with one
or two long leaps be on top of the
victim before it can get the snow
out of its eyes or poise its ears for
a getaway.
The snow is SO deep in the val
legs that coyotes drag their bodies
through it, blowing burrows several
inches deep. In places the snow is
getting crusted enough to bear a
rabbits weight, but in a race the
coyote now has all the best of il
and many rabbit during this pc
riod of deep snow is paying the pen
atty provided by nature for keeping
the animal balance even.
The habits Of swift foxes are moi
so well understood but tracks OBJ.
served in the last few days show
them to be active in their quest fo1
rabbits and they are getting thei1
share. These foxes live underground
and are rarely seen except when
trapped. They are numerous in this
region.-White Pines News.

BROKE HIS LEG RIDING
SLED BEHIND AUTOMOBILE

Gerald Tucker, known among the
boys as little "Tuck" hitched his
sled on behind a passing auto, q
small boys are in the habit Of do
ing, and somehow his left leg was
caught in the sled and broken, both
bones being fractured just below
the knee. He was immediately
picked up and taken home, where
first aid was given, and later placed
on the evening train and taken to q
hospital in Reno for treatment.
This sport of taking a free ride
behind an auto is very popular
among the youngsters, and while
dangerous, is all the more sought by
them. Although Tuck is in the
hospital with his leg in splints from
the accident, the number Of boys in
dulging in the sport has been re-
duced by just one-Carson Appeal.

DRUG ADD|CTs TO
PRISON FARM Is
DOCTORS PLAN

That there are two hundred drug
addicts in Reno at the lowest esti-
mate is asserted by DR.. A. r. Da-
Costa, county physician, and he
says the conditions are becoming
worse. To solve at least part of
the problem presented, he believes,
he said recently, that narcotic users
should be sent to the state peniten-
tiary for at least one year.
"Put these men on the prison
farm and allow them to live out
doors and to perform useful work"
he continued "See that they get no
dope and possibly, after being shut
off the drug, living in the open and
doing the work of a useful citizen
for year, few might be cured.
Those who are sincere would do
as well this way as if sent to the
state hospital, while those who are
not sincere would give Nevada a
wide berth"
As to narcotic users in general,
the doctor declared that "once an
addict, always an addict"
1.-THE man who starts out to
use dope is beaten at the start"
DR.. DaCosta declared, "and every
drug addict is potential criminal.
If he cannot get the drug lawfully,
he will become a criminal to get it.
Of the estimated two hundred ad-
diets in Reno, each requires from
SO to $40 a day to satisfy his
craving, and as most of them are
not working, the question naturally
suggests itself, where do they get
this money? In California the au-
thorities say ninety per cent of al
criminal acts are the work of hop
heads Under the present law it
is permitted to commit addicts to
the state hospital, the county being
compelled to pay $40 month for
their care. Washoe at the present
time is paying $500 month in this
direction. If these were sick per-
sons, and if there were any pos
sibility of curing them, it would be
money well spent, but they are not
Ninety per cent of them are not
cured and do not want to be
cured.
1--WE have cases in the county Jail
and they will be off the drug for
from three to six months, gain in
health and weight and tell you they
will never use it again, but the
minute they are out of custody they
return to their old haunts and as
sociates and are back on the drug
once more. Most of these addicts
are not residents of Reno, but come
here from outside points. Put them
on the prison farm for year and
they will stop coming here.
There is no hope for the con-
firmed addict and you cannot cure
him, but there is an opportunity
to prevent the increase of addicts
and to save the young men and
women who are growing up. Put
both narcotic-peddler and addict
where they canont lead others to
adopt the habit and you can do
some good"
The doctor said that in his opin-
ion the narcotic evil was far worse
than alcohol and that, while every

ALLEGED sALTED
ORE SALE N|PP[D

An alleged scheme to dispose of
Nevada mining property for $780,
900 was frustrated by the county
attorneys office and the police
when they arrested James Mccoy
and VIM. Mahoney, alias William
Connors, and Salt Lake mining
man whose name was withheld, says
the Salt Lake Tribune.
The three arrests followed al
legged evidence of a plan to salt"
an ore sample and sell the mine,
which is 30 miles from Ely, Nevada,
to syndicate which is said to have
made an offer of 100000 if the
samples equaled claims of the pro-
moters.
County Attorney Moreton and
Herbert Leichter, acting special in
vestigator for the county attorneys
office, related details of the elabor-
ate plan which, they claim, was
laid for the purpose of selling the
mine.
Leichter said that Mccoy and
Connors twice visited the Garfield
smelter of the American Smelling
& Refining company before enter
ing into a contract for the smelling
of ore which they said to be shipped
from their mine near Ely If the
samples equaled expectations, they
said, they would ship ten or fifteen
cars every week or ten day. Sun
day a car of ore, which Connors
and Mccoy said had been taken
from the dump at their mine, ar
rived at the smelter.
The owners made the confident
prediction that it would run $50 to
the ton in gold.
When the samples had been
taken from the car and reduced for
analysis the final product tested
$26 to the ton.
Because of the poor appearance
of the ore officials of the company
became suspicious when it analysed
$26. Instead of running the reject
through the smelter, they kept it
intact and made a new analysis. 1t
showed gold content equal to So
a ton.
1t was discovered the Connors
had acted suspiciously during the
first analysis, putting his hands into
his pocket and frequently handling
the sample. The test and the mans
actions convinced officials that the
ore had been Sailed" and they
took the case up with the police
and with County Attorney Arthur
E. Moreton.
Mccoy is alleged to have financed
the plan to mine and smelt the ore
and then dispose of the mine by
sailing the product during the
sampling process.
Connors said that he obtained
samples of the ore inside of the
mine and at the dump and sent
them to San Francisco to be as
sayed. The mine sample showed
gold which would run $50 to the
ton, he said. The sample taken
from the dump was not tested. He
could not show the assay report
when asked to produce it.
The men wre taken into custody
and questioned in the county at
torney's office.
Leichter said that if the scheme
had not been frustrated the men
probably would have defrauded the
smelling company out of $4,000 or
100000 and other individuals out
of 100000 which they are said to
have offered for the mine.
