An interesting experiment is being
tried by the school directors in one of
the rural districts of Tennessee. They
have deci ded to introduce the innova-
ton of teaching the children something
bearing directly on their every day
life. A model school house has been
built in a tract of thirteen acres of good
a sricultural land, which is to be culti-
waited in the best manner possible.
The course of study will include the
ordinary school studies, and, in adj
dition, dairying, poultry raising and
elementary farming. 1t is fully ex-
pected that the experiment will prove
successful, for both pupils and parents
are interested in the new school.

On Being Unloved.

There is no Loneliness, in the world
for woman like the loneliness of be-
ing unloved, says Lillian Bell in Hur-
pe''s Bdzadr. TO go a step further
to tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth - there is no
loneliness, in the world for woman
like the loneliness for being unloved
by man. such loneliness is one of
the greatest, deepest and most far
reaching of all human truths, yet from
a false modesty of over sensitive civ
ilization, it is a truth seldom men
toned, rarely openly discussed, and
thrust out Of sight by women as if it
were something shameful.
Matrimony-a happy marriage, the
making of home, mind you not keep
ing house-is the only legitimate
happiness in the world for a woman
The Almighty has plainly said SO,
but we twentieth century wise
acres, who know so much more than
our Creator-we cry out for careers,
for the bachelor girl, for womens
clubs, womens rights and everything
which is calculated to take the place OF
the natural yearning in a true woman's
soul for a, husbands sustaining and
protecting love, and the feeling of a
downy head pressed againsta woman's
breast. Well, go on. Fool yourselves
if you like. Fool the world if you can
know your secret. | know how,
when Christmas comes, you have hours
of wishing all your fame, all your
beauty all your riches, were swallowed
up for just the touch of one hand-for
the sound of one voice! Lonely? The
proudest of you, the best educated, the
most self-supporting, the most so
called) independent, would at times,
the lonely times, the candle-lighting
times, the Christmas times, give every
thing on earth you possess for home
of your own and a husband and a
child. No matter if they made you
unhappy. Even wife's and mothers
unhappiness is preferable to the un-
happiness made by business or friends
so cold-blooded-so uncaring. Oh,
even the most successful of misunder-
stood daughters and spinsters or bach
elor girls or emancipated divorces of
consoled widows-how much persua-
sion would be necessary to cause to
forsake the loneliness of being unloved
for The One should he chance along?

Chamber of Commerce Exhibits.

So far there have been left at this
Office several specimens of ore, a guam
tity of comb honey and some fine pop
corn to be sent to the Reno Chamber
of Commerce for the Lyon county ex-
hibit. We have the promise of some
fine barley, wheat and potatoes and
should like to have some of the excel
lent apples grown in the upper end of
the valley. The honey received is
from the apiary of j. G. Young, and
cannot be excelled in any part of the
world. The popcorn presented was
grown on the Mcleod ranch and is
so of superior quality. We would
urge those who have promised to send
in exhibits to do so without further
delay, also to send the choicest OF all
kinds ofproducts. .-Lqon county Times.
The Joora0t learns from Secretary
Ingalls, of the Chamber of Commerce,
that the citizens of Douglas county are
taking quite an interest in gathering
specimen products for exhibition in
Reno.
Several ranchers from Dayton yes
terday promised to send in extra fine
p potatoes and apples and White Pine
county has shipped in some very choi
a )ples. The secretary hopes to hear
f'om Nye, Esmeralda, Churchill, Elko,
H lmboldt, Eureka and Lincoln coun-
ties very soon.

Water Supply and Irrigation.

During the past two years numerous
sites for storage reservoirs in the
Truclee and Carson river basins have
been surveyed to determine their ca
pacities, the cost of their utilization,
and their availability for use in the de-
velopment of the irrigation possibili-
ties of these basins. Following are the
conclusions deduced from these sur
veys and studies by l.. H. Taylor of the
photographic Division of the U. s.
Geological Survey:
lit is feasible to construct in the
upper portion of the Truckee river
basin seven storage reservoirs, with a
gross capacity Of So, l6S acre-feet, from
which there can be drawn annually
2s8, 76s acre-feet, the estimated cost of
these reservoirs being S347, lS2.
2.-That the watersheds tributary to
these reservoirs yield sufficient water,
even in seasons of minimum precipita-
ton, to fill each of them.
3-That the water stored in these res
ervoirs, if employed to supplement the
1 ordinary flow of the Truckee river and
used with moderate economy, is suf-
'tficient even in dry years, to irrigate
fover 1S5, 900 acres of land in excess of
what is now watered, or total of 219,-
600 acres outside of what may be
watered in Washoe and Steamboat val
leys, while maintaining the discharge
of the Truckee river, at the minimum,
at 300 cubic feet per second above the
town of Reno and Clarks Station.
4.-That it is feasible to construct an
irrigating canal with capacity of $50
cubic feet per second, from point on
the Truckee river near tloriston, Cali

Rev. Sam Jones on one occasion de-
ivered his sermon called "Wives and
Husbands before an immense gather
ing in Birmingham, Ala. He dwelt
particularly on the beauty and utility
of mutual forbearance between hus-
bands and wives, and then, as though
desirous of showing the rarity of that
quality said:
"lf there is a woman in this vast
gathering who has never said an un-
kind word to her husband, she will
please stand up"
A woman arose as though she had
been challenged, and Jones, becoming
her with both arms, called out en-
Enthusiastically:
"Come here, sister!-come right up
here to the platform. | want this
audience to see youp'
The woman did as hidden, and when
she reached the preachers side, was
presented to the throng as the "most
beautiful woman in Birmingham y
Jones, continuing his address, asked
any man who had never spoken an un-
kind word to his wife to make himself
known. Promptly arose ten big,
strapping, self-conseious chaps, who
started for the platform without further
bidding, and with an air that suggested
the anticipation of praise from the
preacher, who, as they neared him,
said:
THAT'S right, my menl Come right
up! I want everybody here to gaze on
ten of the most hopeless liars in the
United States.n

Grecian damsels-those at the head
holding banjos. while those on the right

a musical box which extends the whole

playing twelve charming airs. The
music begins the moment the least pres

top, which is created by one sleeping
or sitting, and ceases the moment the
individual rises. While the music is in
progress the lady banjoists at the head
manipulate the strings with their fin
gers and move their heads. While the
two Grecian damsels at the bottom fan
