ARTESIA ITEMS
George Devereaux, Mrs. J. K. Phil
lips and Mr. and Mrs. Mollart spent
Thursday ir. the county seat.
Cards havA been received announ
cing the safe arrival in France of
Corporal Richard Hillbun and Private
Leslie DeVroey. Richard Hillbun has
been in Camp Lewis since last Oct
ober and feels he is in perfect condi
tion to fight the hun and is very en
thusiastic about being sent “over
there”.
Paddy Madden, who has been living
on the Nugent place, met with a pain
ful accident last Tuesday on Mason
Pass. The horses he was driving
became frightened in some manner
and bolted off the road, throwing him
out. The horses trampled him and the
wagon ran over him. He was taken
to Yerington by Mr. Barlow of Mason
.who passed that way later.

COAL RATIONING PROBABLE.
The U. S. Fuel Administration
has devised a system of coal ration
ing for the coming winter which will
secure effective conservation. The
system may be adopted at the dis
cretion of local Fuel Administrators
It would limit domestic fuel supplies'
to an amount sufficient to keep the
temperature of rooms and1 buildings
at 68 degrees temperature. The al
lowance for each consumer will be
sufficient for comfort but the thought
less and wasteful consumer who finds
his allowance gone before the-end of
the winter, will have only himself to
blame if he ha* no fuel with which
to heat his house. Under the systei
in contemplation every one will get
his fair proportion of coal, but the
hoarder will be eliminated. This

system lias been worked out in Phil
adelphia and found to be an unqualifi
ed success. The important features
of the plan are:
Fiist, a censorship of every order
for coal received by any dealer, each
order being compared with a figure
obtained by very pimple yet effect
ive formulas showing the rating of
the house where the coal is to be used:
Second, actual inspection of all
doubtful cases and a checking up
through inspectors of statements
made by householders as to the coal
on hand, the space to be heated,
and the heating system employed.
Third, an effective refusal to fur
nish any householder more coal than
a scientific analysis shows is neces
sary if the requisite care is taken in 1
the heating of the house. Under this 1
system surplus coal will be refused. '
All consumers who have obtained '
a quantity of coal in excess of t heir ’
allotments, or who by deceit or mis
representation have violated any rules
and regulations of the Fuel Admin- '
istftation, will be prosecuted.

BASE BALL IN FRANCE.
Teaching iFYench soldidrs how to
play base-ball is one of the tasks of
American Y.M.C.A. war work secre
taries in France and it sometimes
leads to surprising incidents, A Y.M.
C.A. secretary was umpiring and
coaching two teams of poilus playing
playground ball. The batter took a
| healthy swing with his small bat and
smote the small ball in a screaming
liner straight for the pitcher. The
latter protected his fac; Jwith his
hands and the sphere struck him sog
gily in the chest. The pitcher's ex
pressive features registered surprised'
reproach over thisi so unexpected as
sault. As for the batter, did he reach
first? He did not. He ran straight
for the pitcher, embraced him and
apologized for hitting him.
HAIGHT WAS HIS NAME.
St. Paul, Minn., — July — It was
William Shakespeare who put the in
terogation, “What's in a name?" But
though the dramatist in his early
struggles might have carried a spear
in the chorus, that is as near as- he
ever dame to war.
Recently out of the wilds of Poca
tello, Idaho, came two young men to
the- local recruiting station of the
• U.S.Marine! Corps. Their names
were Samuel R. Haight and Anthon
Lemon. Roth were anxious to en
list.
“When 1 heard about the atroci
ties of the Germans, I was determin
ed to live up to my name,” said
Haight. “And" he added, “my pal
here is soured again-1 the Huns, any
way.”
The men are now on their way to
Paris Island for training,as Marines,

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.
To successfully finance the war it
is necessary tha't owners of Liberty
bonds hold their bonds if possible.
Where for any good reason it is, nec
essary for them to turn their bonds
into cash they should seek the advice
of their bankers.
' Liberty Loan bonds- are very desir
able investments, and crafty individ
uals are using various means to se
care them from owners not familiar
with stock values and like matters.
One method is to offer to exchange
for Liberty bonds stocks or bonds of
doubtful organizations represented as
returning a much higher rate of inter
est than the bonds.
There are various other methods us
ed and likely to be used, some of the
gold brick variety and others less
crude and probably within the limits
of the law. All offers for Liberty
bonds except for money and at the
market value should be scrutinized
carefully. The bonds are the safest of
investments and have non-taxable and
other valuable features.
To; hold your liberty bonds, if pos
sible, is patriotic. To consult your
bankers before selling them is wise.

AN UNOFFICIAL. REPORT ON
THE YERINGTON SCHOOL OF
MINES
The Nevada Traveling Mining
School started classes in the Lyon Co.
High School building on Monday the
17th of June, 1918 and has continued
five nights a week since that time.
There has been an average daily
attendance of fourteen students out
of the twenty-four who have register
ed. The attendance the last two weeks
has fallen off somewhat because sev
eral of the students have had too
much other work that had to be
taken care of.
The subjects studied have been
chemistry, geology & minerology
, by blowpipe analysis. This is by
no means the limit of the school.
It is the idea to give instruction
in about all tluf subjects pertain
ing to mining; that is, drawing, math
ematics, surveying, minerology, chem
istry, fire and wet assaying, geology,
etc.
It is not the aim of this school to
turn out mining engineers, but to
give .anyone who dejires it a work
ing knowledge win. .ewith he can pros
pect intelligently. A knowledge of
minerology, for instance, is benefic
ial to everyone in this western coun
try whether lie is directly connected
with mining or not.
It lias been decided to take a recess
of four weeks, beginning July 26 in or
der to give those who are very busy
time to fininh their other work. The
classes will probably begin again a
bout Monday August 26 and be car
ried on for six weeks. And if at
the end of that six weeks period the
attendance is large enough the classes
will be continued for another three
months or until the first of the year
and I wish to take this means of giv
ing due credit to those who have up
held the school and helped to make
it a success. And I especially thank
the Lyon County Board of Educa
tion for having so generously donat
ed the use of the High School build
ing and for the benefit of those who
desire to take some part of the work
when classes are started again I will
say that there are no charges what
ever for any part of the work except
for the books the students buy and
these of course are their own personal
property. The state and federal gov
ernments maintain this, school by ap
propriations from funds set aside for
the purpose,

^ Principal.
