AN EXTRA SESSION WANTED

Goldfeld wants al extra session of
the legislature to act upon measures
that are very important and urgent.
In the first place. there are not ade-
quate banking laws upon the statute
books Of Nevada: in fact there are no
banking laws at all except that which
provides for a bank inspector that does
not inspect until after a bank has gone
broke, and another which provides for
q method of winding up the cffairs OF a
defunct bank. There are no laws fixing
the responsibility of directors or share
holders. or. anything Of the kind. TIE
people want laws that will lend con-
fdence to depositors so that the people
will not send their money out Of the
ctate, but keep it at home In thei- home
banks for the use OF heme business.
GoIdieid also wants the time for pay
ment Of taxes,sxtended for two or three
months until they can get hold of their
money locked up in the closed banks.
They don't want to see a penalty i'm
posed upon their property because some
bank has their money and won't and
can't give ii up. nor do they want their
sold for taxes, when their nom
payment is not due to their own fault.

Goldfeld signalized another event Of

the dedication OF one Of the handsomest
and most c~ommodious school buildings
of the state.
The new structure is of stone and
brick. two and one-half stories high
above ground. wit a full basement; the
building Is large enough to accommo-
date over 400 children and is a model
OF convenience and of the most modern
school architecture, with all improve

The building was not formally dedi-
Gated on Monday, but was opened with
pleasing and appropriate ceremonies.
The children gathered on the Euclid
side OF the building. and as the flag
was raised two doves of purest white

circling around over the building, flew
from sight. The children sang patriotic
songs. remarks were made by Messrs.

GOLDFIELD is ALL RIGHT
ACCORDING TO 6. II. HAYES

G. H. Hayes. the man who did more,
perhaps. than any other one. to stimu-
late real mining in the Goldfield district
through his operations upon what be-
came famous as the Hayes-Monnette
lease. on the Mohawk, is in Goldield
from his home in Los Angeles where he
has established himself since giving up
active mining. Although Mr.. Hayes
still retains heavy mining interests in
Goldield and other Nevada camps he is
giving his immediate attention to his
large business affairs in Los Angeles

Hayes has become an important factor
in business and is now president of the
Peoples Gas and Coke company of Los
Angeles and one of the heaviest stock
holders in the Los Angeles Safe Deposit
and Trust company, and other important
concerns. Mr.. Hayes is a great believer
in Goldfeld as a permanent and prosper
u city Of large population. So con-
WINGED Is he of the camps great future
that he invested heavily in the half
million dollar hotel now about completed
on Columbia. on the site of the old Hotel
Goldheld, whose name the new hotel
takes.
In speaking of general and local con-
ditions. Mr.. Hayes said: The people
of Goldfeld needn't feel disturbed over
the outcome of this financial squeeze:
Goldfeld is all right and has the inher-
emit elements of strength and perma-
nency lacking in o communities.
Golddeld is founded upon a gold basis.

world Is sorely in need Of at this time.

NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS
Healing Medication That Is Breathed
Giving Quick Relief.

1t seems Just as ridiculous TO put medi-
cine into the stomach to cure a cold in
the head OF lungs as ii does To 90 out
in the rain ii we want 10 keep dry.
The fact that many people right in
Barre cough and hawk and shuttle for
days and weeks after they treat cold
with the usual stomach dosing shows
how valueless are the ordinary cough
and cold cures.
The right way TO cure a cold in the
head, or cough and irritation in the
throat and lungs Is by breathing Hyo-
mei's nedicated air. Put few drops
of Hyomei in the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit and breathe
this healing air for a few times, and
immediate relief will be noted. The
medication goes right to the spot where
the disease germs are located and rem
ders them harmless in the future.
At the same time, the soothing and
healing effects OF Hyomei on the irritat-
ed mucous membrane give quick relief,
and the cough or coldis broken up.
The best evidence Of the great value
Of Hyonei in curing coughs, colds and
all bronchial troubles Is the fact that
