BETH'S
CAREER
By RUBY DOUGLAS



Forrest Harwood walked aimlessly
through the archway Of trees leading
10 his old home. Those two weeks of
us summer holiday had been happily
spent--too happily-for now, on the
last night, 1t all seemed ike a dream
there haG been aA awakening.
why, he asked himself, had he been
SO blind TO the harvest he was roaming
Tor himsek? All the days he had spent
telling Beth Knox of his life in New
YORK We're now TO Forrest HARDWOOD as
SO many stones added. to the obstacle
impeding his life's happiness. And
with what different purpose he had
related all the pleasant little happen
Ing In the literary world-in his world
The hope that she should learn TO see it
through his eyes has prompted all the
prettily told incidents.
Little did he know then Of the am
billion he WAS creating within Beth's
breast TO be OF that world, not merely
In 1t. When he had asked her on that
last night to come with him. to live
with him In his world TO help him
climb still higher OH the ladder he had
chosen, she told him gently, but firmly,
no. She would have career; she
would write and be some one.
And so ii was that Forrest Harwood
returned TO his desk conscious that he
had, all unlntentionally, made an am
bilious woman of his little playmate.
He felt that she had loved him, but lie
had spoiled all that She would have
her career. and he would take up the
work where he had left it-with no
Beth.
The little blue missives from the
home town were filed with enthusiasm
for the new work. More and more OF
the ambitious woman and less of the
little Beth peeped out from between
the lines.
But Forrest was none the less eager
| to search through the great piles OF
mail for the coveted letters. The!
came at regular intervals. each one
laying the foundations for big castles.

Startling Evidence.

Fresh testimony in great quantity
is constantly coming in. declaring
DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con
sumption, Coughs and Colds to be
uneoualed. A recent expression
from T. j. Mcfarland, Bentonville,
Va serves as example. He writes !:

DEMOCRATSAND LEGISLATION

If the paramount rallying cry of
the Democratic party in the next Pres
Dental campaign shall be antitrust,
anti-monopoly and anti-incorporation
mergers, as is now forshadowed by
the leading Democratic papers and
the banquet speeches of Democratic
leaders, delivered in many States, the
-onnalng anu unsopnls1Icated RANK
and file of the party in Nevada will
likely be surprised as well as disguised
when they learn that their late Dem
ocratic legislature has placed this
State in the lead of all other States
in the aid and comfort it has given
to the trusts, monopolies and corporate
mergers by the passage of the new In
corporation act.
This act has sold the State of Ne
vaaa out to the trusts as completely
as a legislative act can accomplish
that object.

Isions of that act.

Thai SCHOOL BOND DEAL

ksASt oStsOO1 OOiNO DINl
The Carson News quotes the re-
quest of the Silver State of Monday
last for information in regard to the
exchange of school fund securities of
this state for those of Massachusetts
made some months ago, and by way of
explanation prints the following:
The State Board of Education con-
sisting of Governor Sparks, superin-
tendent Ring and President Stubs,
for some time contemplated a change
in the state school fund securities of
q 5. 4 per cent bonds of 1907. par
value, $685,oO in view of the fact that
ar maturity the only alternative would
be cash or return of two per cent
on the investment.
The board invited the Senate and
House committees on education to at
so attend. when this matter was
so attend, when the matter was
thoroughly exploited and the commit
tees approved the proposed plan.
The United States Treasury Depart
ment informed the State Board per-
s~onally and by circular that the bonds
would be redeemed in two per cen.
bonds of the United States in 1907,
or in cash, thus confirming their
ideas. The board after much investi-
cation decided it a better policy to
sell the bonds at market rates and re-
invest the proceeds in bonds netting
a better rate of interest. and at the
same time increase the principal. This
was lone in the following manner
United States 4 per cent bonds to the
amount of $500, 900 were sold at $1.10
or l ga per cent above the then mar
ket rate and the proceeds r~einvested
in Massachusetts, 8 per cent bonds at
$40 2 1-4-bonds having a life of
SO 1-2 years, maturing in 1889 with
n earning capacity of 1926, or
l 35-100 per cent better han the in
terest earning capacity of the Gov
ernment's As of 1907. The principal
was by that method increased over
$4,000. The Massachusetts bonds
are gilt-edged and so considered by
all financial authorities. The Board
sent one of it's members east to make
inquiry of the standing of these bonds
and he received assurances from re-
liable sources that the bonds were the
best to be obtained and that many
states Of the union had secured hold
ings of these bonds. The idea that
the west is now a creditor of the east
is a reversal of the usual order of
things. 1t is a magnificent transac-
ton for the state, both in life of
LonGs and principal and interest.
The Board under the law have no
right to reduce the State school fund,
but under the U. S. Treasury ruling
they would be obliged to take a
lower ate of interest and less face
value, or reinvest in bonds of 1925,
which command a premium of Sc
per cent in the market, thereby in
evitably and unavoidably reducing the
school fund principal approximately
$4,000. The 4 per cent bonds would
in the course of four years pay 16 per
cent interest. The state has received
ten per cent of that interest back in
premiums. II was considered poor
policy to hold these bonds when their
earning capacity would be only 6 per
cent for four years or l IL per cent
per annum on the investment.
The earning capacity of all United
States holdings OF the state fund has
