BITTEN IN ENCOUNTER
WITH MAD COYOTE

IL Guerrica, Paradise Valley resi-
dent, is undergoing the Pasteur treat
ment in this city as aftermath of an
encounter with a rabid coyote with
which he came into too intimate con-
tact last Tuesday while riding the
vicinity of Able & Curtner's Forks
ranch in the Pardise Valley vicinity
which he conducts on a lease. He
came to this city and submitted to
the first treatment yesterday and will
continue to absorb them as antidote
for possible rabies, although he did
not remove the coyote S head for
laboratory tests.
The wound inflicted by the coyote
followed Mr.. Guerrca's attempt to
kick the coyote to death as the animal
pulled himself along with afoot in a
trap previously set by the ranchman.
Missing the blow, the coyote turned

School Lunches
(By Mary E. Stillwell


Have you ever thought what a busy,
hard working person the average rural
Nevada school child is Here is what
is what happens five days a week all
winter long.
Roll out of bed at five thirty or
six. Quickly and shiveringly slip into
work clothes. Help with the out
door chores or breakfast, or perhaps
the school bus suddenly appears and
there is no breakfast at all Grab
your lunch box and hurry to school, a
walk or ride of from one to five miles.
Study till recess. Then raid the
lunch box and gobble sandwich, as
game is in progress; more study. AT
noon hurriedly finish what is left in
the lunch box in order to play or
study. Afternoon drags along, with
that cold, half chewed lunch half way
down. Not much work done. By
the end of the school day every one
feels queer, empty, tired. Never
mind. Hurry home, help with the
chores, or help get supper. Funny,
but that hurying child is often too
tired and empty to eat much supper.
Then comes supper dishes. A bit of
study, then tumble into bed, still feel
ing cold and empty and all strung up.
1t il any wonder that in parts Of this
State 72 per cent of our rural school
children are underweight; and are re-
peating one or more years of school
work, which is serious loss to them
selves and an added expense to the tax
payer
Common Sense
If the farmers find it worth while to
heat water for the dairy cows and the
poultry, to cook food for their hogs,
and to make coffee for themselves
when forced to work out away from
home all day, why is it not just as
much worth while to provide some
thing warm for our Nevada childrens'
school lunch? Surely they are as inn
nortant as our other livestock
Why the Hot School Lunch.
Hot soup or a hot drink served at
school makes a good meal of the cold
lunch carried in the lunch box or din
ner pail. One cold meal for one day
may not mean much, but hundreds OF
cold meals in the course of the eight
years in school may mean the differ
ence betweeen poorly nourished child

assistance Of their County Extension
Agent. Al joint conference 4 plan
.2i action IS worked out A few dol
lars are raised for the equipment
needed A system of consecutive do
nations of milk, vegetables, etc. is
agreed on and the interest of the chill
dren is aroused.
Through the County Extension
Agent the services OF Nutrition
Specialist are secured from the Uni
versity Extension Division, who comes
and gives practical help in getting the
work under way, usually staying two
or three days and training groups Of
the elder children to make each simple
dish. Cocoa, milk-vegetable soup
and stews are the most popular dishes.
There is wide veriety of such
dishes, and no one has chance has
chance to grow tired of a particu,
lar dish. A small group Of three or
four OF the Older pupils start the pre-
paratlons at morning recess and fin
ished in the last fifteen minutes be-
fore noon. Army service is used and
the committee makes short work of
the dishes, all the rest help to clean
up and there is still time for a good
play before noon hour is over.
Sometimes loving mother brings a
special treat. Oh Joy!
The Results
At present Nevada has at least II
hot school lunches in operation and
giving excellent results. Are you OF
these enterprising communities? If
not, why not2 The University Ex-
tension Division offers direct assist
ance in this work and surely the happy,
healthy children that result are ample
reward for the effort.

RAILROAD GUAR ANTY FALLACY
Is Hit by Southern T cific President in
Address TO Liv2 Stock Men

" your chairman informs you that
tt cattle business is coming into
II own again. The railroad business
Is gradually coming along until we
a. in hopes-but so far it Is only
il hopes-that it too will come into
it own again.
But in the meantime it Is proper
that | should say to you that the In.
crease in our operating costs has been
so great and the increase in taxation
has been so great that 1t Is impossible
for the railroads to make substantial
reductions or for the authorities of
government to produce substantial
reductions in the freight and passenger
rates of this country, unless we are
to give the country a new setback
in which your business would share
as well as our own.
Succeed Together
"All the phases Of our national life
prove to us that we progress together.
we go back together, we fail together.
There is no such thing in this country
as class success; there Is no such
thing as the success Of one industry
when the others are floundering, un.
less under the abnormal conditions
created by war"
After referring to some of the prob.
lens of the cattle industry, Mr..
Sproule said the Southern Pacific Com
pany, realizing the perishable nature
of livestock shipments, is interested
In furnishing industries with the fast
est and most efficient transportation
service. In conclusion he said.
I'VE can both settle down to a basic
fact, that neither can flourish unless
upon the basis of reasonable returns
and as we accord to you that right
we simply ask you to accord to us
that basic right. We can all work to
the common basis of creating that
state Of efficient service and of JUS,
tioo in the public MIND which will re.
ward coed service with just returns"

LOS ANGELES (SpeciaD--Neither
the Transportation Act of 1920 nor
any other law, state or federal, guar
antees any income whatever to the
railroads, Wm. Sproule, President of
the Southern Pacific Company, pointed
out In an address before the Ameri-
can National Live Stock Association,
which has Just completed its 26ta
annual convention here.
There Is no guaranty that any rail
road shall earn even one per cent
said Mr.. Sproule. He showed that
the Transportation Act of 1920 merely
makes a declaration that If any rail-
road happens to earn up to certain
percentage (fixed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission at 5A% on
the value of the physical property
used for transportation purposes), 1t
will not be considered in excess of a
reasonable return"
On Physical Valuation
Stocks and bonds of railroads have
nothing to do with the figure upon
which they are permitted to earn a
reasonable return, if they can, under
economical and efficient management,
Mr.. Sproule said.
A railroad may have outside proper
ties, but unless the property is actually
devoted to railroad business 1t is not
considered In fixing a valuation upon
which a reasonable return is per.
mitted the railroad president showed.
mr. Sproule reviewed briefly the
war time experiences of the railroads
that loaded them with increased
operating expenses with which they
are still largely burdened. He referred
also to the collapse in business
generally that followed the war. He
continued:
Gradually this country, with the
capacity for survival and revival that
belongs to a new aud glorious and
progressive nation, has come up until

and well nourished child, poor di-
gestion and good digestion, poor health
and good health, poor school work
and good school work.
One hot dish served each noon
means that the child will be much bet
ter nourished Better nourished he
can do better school work, for what is
good for the body is good for the
brain. Better school training tends
toward better citizenship later on.
Children are like all other young live
stock; no amount of good food and
care in later life can make up for the,
lack of right food during the grow
ing period.
The advantages of the hot school
lunch, properly conducted, are many.
Better health is perhaps the most i'm
portant, but the added comfort OF
something warm has real mental
stimulus for the afternoon work Eat
ing together under the yelled supervis-
ion of the teacher results in slower
eating, we'll chewed food, and less
nervous strain. Many little habits OF
courtesy and good breeding uncon-
sciously develop in the mutual help
all render.
Now to Provide Ho Lunch
One hot dish may be prepared in
any school that is heated by stove
or room furnace In most of the
rural schools of Nevada the round
drum type of heating stove is used
Hot soup or hot cocoa are not diff
cult to prepare on the top of this
stove. A one, two or three burner
kerosene stove is convenient and in
expensive, but is not absolutely neces-
sary. In fact, all that is absolutely
needed is large kettle and cover, one
small saucepan, measuring cup, soup
ladle, one mixing spoon, one table
spoon, two teaspoons, one fork, two
pairing knives, one butcher knife, can
opener, asbestos mat, two dish pans,
soap dishe, dish towels, hand towels, a
tiny cupboard made out of a packing
box, and small work table. Each
child should provide small plate, cup,
and spoon.
Supplies
A small can of flour, another of
sugar, salt, pepper and paper napkins
are all the supplies needed. Old fruit
jars or coffee cans can be used for
containers.
Who Does the Work
The dread of extra work often de
tcrs folks from attempting this work.
But the hot school lunch succeeds
best when it comes from a community
enterprise Indeed, working together
for this common purpose often is The
means of bringing teacheae children
and parents into closer Contact and
better understanding.
The suggestion usually comes from
some enterprising group of mothers IN
the local Farm Bureau or Parent
Teachers Association. They ask the
