SOCIAL LIFE
IN RHYOLITE

One must not suppose that simply
because the site upon which the town
stands was two years ago given over
to sage brush and coyotes that the
citizens are uncouth and rude, but, on
the contrary, the citizenship is excep-
tionally high class. Three out of every
ten men in the town today possess
college educations, and the women are
equally Intelligent and, as matter of
course, refined. OF course, in this con-
nection, reference is not made to the
denizens of the under world, always a
feature, distinct feature, in a min
ing town, but to the people who are
there to conduct large mining enter
prises, the business, the manufacturing,
ETC.. of the town. 1t is not held that
the miners are more moral than other
men unaccustomed to the gentle touch
Of woman, but it is conceded that the
miners of Rhyolite, in fact, the entire
Bullfrog district, are as a rule fine fell
lows, remarkably sober of necessity in
dustrious, and it would i'll befall any
one to offer an insult to q woman
worthy of respect. The miners to a
man would resent any act of offense
and the gentleman would find the camp
too warm to remain in it.
Mining Mems Club
Rhyolite boasts a club, and it may
well boast, for the Rhyolite club is an
elegantly furnished rest and recreation
place for the better class of citizens,
and while seated in the luxurious chairs
and divans, smoking not rope but the
best of cigars, many an important min
ing campaign is mapped out by the
members. But it is not all to business
that the club is devoted; on the other
hand, the rooms are equipped with all
the games that men enjoy, but gam
bling for money is strictly tabooed.

are in keeping with the parlors, an6

Warming
Closets

The warming closets Of all Majestic Ranges
have Maeable Iron doors and frames The
doors be dropped down without fear of
breaking, forming perfect shelf, capable of
holding the weight of an ordinary sized man.
The Majestic drop door is superior in army
ways to the roll-back door First with the roll
back door closet you have no shelf to set
things on before sliding them into the closet,
while on the drop door you have. Second the

closet, the roll door taking up most of it,
Third, there is danger of breaking the dishes
in the closet by back of roll-door hitting them.

You can't break them. The Majestic also has
a warming closet under the oven which is
handy for drying wood, shoes, ETC.

The Body of a Range

The Body of a Range
The body of a range is practically the life
Of a range. The life of i range hangs on the
material of which it is made. Charcoal Iron
by actual tests has been proven to resist rust
neat and crystaizaton 800 per cent greater
than steel. The Majestic Range bodies are all
made of Charcoal Iron. No other range in the
: world is made of this material 1t costs con-
siderable more than steel but the Majestic
: never stands back for cost when it can improve
, its range.
Maleable Iron is absolutely necessary for
perfect alright joints. 1t is nonbreakable and
can be cold riveted. All joints are riveted per-
pectly air tight. No heat escapes, or cold air
entersns thus heating the oven quick and right
with about half the fuel used in a range made
of cast iron.
With a Majestic Malleable and Charcoal
Iron Range where all parts are riveted they
can't come loose, your repair and fuel bill is
small The life of the Range is three or four
times as long
Consider this point thoroughly and remem
Der that the cheapest is not always the least
expensive

A perfectly constructed air tight

is bolted and is not air tight. 1t is
natural that an oven constructed in

MOVABLE
RESERVOIR

A feature not to be overlooked when
ordering a range is that in reference
to the heating Of water. Look at the
Majestic Movable Reservoir. 1t is
heated by direct contact with the lin
ing Of the fire box. When the water in
Majestic reservoir boils the frame
and reservoir can be moved away from
the fire by turning a lever. The Ma
jestic is the only range having NOV
able reservoir and frame. 1t holds
fifteen gallons of water, is all copper,
timed on the inside and nickled on the
outside. Where pressure water is used
the Majestic has more heating surface
than any other range.

KEEPING GOOD TINE
Remarkable Record Made by a Lon
sines Watch in This city-varia-
ton Only II Seconds in 143 Days.

A variation of only IL seconds in
143 days is a remarkable record for a
timepiece, but that is what one Of the
famous Longines watches sold by Will
lam Hellberg has accomplished in Mar
shalltown. The owner Of the watch Is
employed in the city at an occupation
that requires that he have absolutely
correct time. His name may be OBJ
tanned at the store. After investigat-
ing various makes he selected Lon
gines. He has carried it 143 days, dur
ing which time it received no adjust
meilt whatever, and the variation In
time was only II seconds 1t seems
hardly possible that human hands could
manufacture a machine with such pre-
lcision. Hellberg's sales on these
watches have been large and are con-
stantly increasing. They are COM
ing to be recognized as the best time
keepers made.

Generally speaking the public appre-

maker Is no idle boast. The experience
of those who have taken advantage OF
our OFFER on Jersey Cream flour proves
that. The guarantee not only means
what 1t says, but. here is something
more back of 1.-THE actual quality OF
the flour. The flour Is made from the
best Dakota hard wheat. 1t makes bet
ser bread and more OF 1t than most
