WILL MAKE DESERT BLOOM
Energetic Homebuilders Car
Accomplish Wonders
If They Try.

Surrounded by the desert for miles
in every direction save one, the home
stead selection of w. G. and Dan Sheck-
Ter five miles west of town presents a
handsome contrast to the undulations
of sands and an eloquent testimonial to
the power of water to make the most
barren scopes of land fructify and the
wonderful crops of alfalfa already
raised by the Shecklers would Indicate
that their section is peculiarly adapted
to this class of forage product. Indeed,
there are those who say that sandy
land is by far the best adapted to alf-
alta raising of any of our lands and
certainly such instances as that fur
nished by the Shecklers go far to prove
the truth of this statement.
Thomas Inglis, near neighbor of
the Shecklers spent celebration day in
Fallon and stated to the editor of this
paper that the Shecklers had recently
completed their haying operations and
that Dan cut total of twenty-five
large wagon loads Of alfalfa from a FIVE
acre tract, which Mr.. Inglis estimates
as weighing around twenty tons. w.
G. has spent more time on his home
stead and cut first crop amounting to
sixty-five tons and expects to cut three
crops all together this season, which he
estimates will weigh out around two
hundred tons. Nj. Inglis himself is
making rapid strides on his homestead
which is comprised in large part of Car
son river bottom land.
From the examples set by these
gentlemen and their thrifty neighbors,
it is very evident that much of the
progress of the future is going to occur
in their district and new people seek
ing locations will profit by the wonder
full examples set by those already at
work in the district west of town and
will settle out that way until every
available tract, of which there are now
many, will be taken.
The Shecklers are former Kansans
and filed before the editor of this paper
whenhe was United States Commission
er. The three years that have followed
have been fraught with vicissitudes,
but the product of this year would now
indicate that they are on the futures
easy street. There have been times in
the past doubtless when the Shecklers
and their persevering neighbors have
been confronted with difficulties that
would have made weaker hearted ones
discouraged, such periods occur in every
country, but the reward that comes to
honest labor is theirs, for when alfalfa
hay is recko ned by the hundred tons it
means a tidy sum.

On Wednesday Jack Phelps team
took to Fallon fourty-four sacks of
high grade ore for shipment to the
sampling works at Hazen. This ore is
the product o. the labor of Dave Craig,
who is in charge of the Spider Wasp
property at Victor. Mr.. Craig has
been amusing himself for some weeks,
sorting over the waste dump at the
Toohey lease, and this ore is the re-
suit of his labors. Wonder News.

the presence of such grief for language
is impotent and cannot convey one iota
of comfort to condition of mind that
is only partially healed by the passing
of time. 1t is one of those cases where
love and friendship can interpose no
comfort.
The memory of the deceased boy will
always be wholesome and his pure
young manhood is recollection worthy
of emulation. He was much needed.
The world had use for him, and men
who knew him mourn his untimely
death for there is an inexpressible re-
gret at his passing in tile morning of
his youth with his p ,wers for good and
his ambitions for the future cut down.
God rest the soul that has fallen
asleep and send his comfort to the
mourning ones.

SECRET WORKERS The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates

Coffee is such a secret worker that ness or disease, but there is very sure way to find out the truth.
 A lady in Memphis gives an inter- esting experience her husband had with coffee. It seems that he had been using it for some time and was an invalid
 The physician in charge shrewdly suspected that coffee was the Worm at the root of the tree" and ordered it discontinued with instructions to use Postum regularly in it's place.
 The wife says: We found that was the true remedy for his stomach and heart trouble and we would have glad ly paid a hundred times the amount of the doctors charge when we found how wise his judgment was.
 "The use of Postum instead of cof- fee was begun about a year ago, and it has made my husband strong, well man. He has gained thirty-five pounds in that time and his stomach and heart troubles have all disappeared.
 "The first time prepared it I did not boil it long enough and he said there was something wrong with it.. Sure enough it did taste very fiat, but the next morning followed directions carefully. boiling it for fifteen minutes, and he remarked this is better than any of the old coffee'
 we use Postum regularly and never tire of telling our friends of the bene- fit we have received from leaving off coffee"

Schools for TubercuIous Children.


 Special schools for tuberculous chil- dren have now been established in Providence, Boston, New York, Roches- ter, Washington, Hartford, Conn, Chi cago and Pittsburg New York has three schools and Washington, D. C., two. The board of education of New York city is proposing to establish three more, and similar institutions are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Newark. N. J.
 In cities like Providence, Boston and New York, where outdoor schools have been conducted for two years, the re- suits obtained from the treatment of children in special tuberculosis open air schools seem to show the great ad- vantage of this class of institutions. This, coupled with the experience of open air schools in Germany and Eng land, proves that children can be cured of tuberculosis and keep up with their school work, without any danger to fellow pupils.

Make your preliminary canvass, and when you have put in S2OO,OO0 you will have become so much interested in it that you will feel like going ahead and spending some money"

WORK OF A BUDDING GENIUS
Couplet That Lacked Something of the Divine Fire, But Strikingly
 Original.

The tenyear-old daughter of an art ist believes that she is destined to fill a great place in literature, and all her spare moments are devoted to writing poetry about every conceivable sub ject, according to the San Francisco Wasp. Recently she attended her first church wedding, and so filled with Inspiration was she that she imme- d,ately began to write a poem descrip- tive of the event. X few days after ward, when her mother was entertain ing friends, the youthful prodigy asked permission to read her poem before the guests. Her mother humored her with not little secret pride. Stanza by stanza the poem progressed until the young lady reached the point where the description of the brides maids was set forth. There one of her couplets read thus:
 Some had pug noses and some had
 Roman.
 And each wore blue ribbon about her
 abdomen.

After the most studious consideFa-
ton Of the subject we fail to compre-
bend the reasons advanced by the Re-
publican newspapers and statesmaR
for advocating the repeal of ths tariff
ON news print paper and on wood pulp
Fer generation they have alternately
asserted and taken a solemn oath that
the foreigner paid the tariff.
Why, then, should the Republicans
be over-exerting themselves to relieve
the foreigners of a burden which when
taken from them must be placed upon
our own people? Why does the domi-
nant party Of this country insist upon
placing additional tax burdens upon
us, which, if they are not the COM
mon est kind of liars are now borne by
foreigners? What is the hatred they
entertain toward their fellow citizens
that they should exert the influence of
the Congress to weigh down the people
at HON for the benefit of the citizens
of Europe and Asia?
For generation past the Repuoli-
can newspapers, from the great organs
like the New York Tribune to the
smallest weekly in the land, have beer
everlastingly and continually bowling
that the foreigner paid the tariff, and
pow the same papers are demanding
that the tariff be removed from the
article Of their principal consumption,
and of course and necessarily relieve
the foreigner of the harden he has been
bearing in respect of this subject.
The Sentinel hopes the ruling pow
ers in our nation will exhibit little
consisten cy even if they are devoid of
honesty. If the foreigner pays the tariff
for Gods sake let him continue to pay
it, for certainly times are hard enough
in this country as things are. But if
the foreigner doesn't pay it and our
people do, tell the truth about it aud
get rid of the criminal thing.-Parkers-

Weak and All
Run Down,
VISIT to "UncIc Sans Birthpl.ee

The little town of Mason, Hills
borough COUNT, N. II. bounded on the
south by the Massachusetts, line, was
recently visited by the write, and
while there he attended the famous
sale of the historic Wilson house and
farm, the home of the original "Uncle
Sam" in his boyhooi.
OF the popular personid cations of
our country, by its poets and artists,
the special favorites have been Broth
err .Jonsthanp and "Unale Sam The
first is of Revolutionary origin, and is
credited to the great Washington him
self. In times of extreme difficulty the
fore most of American heroes would say
"1et us consult Brother Jonat san,''
Trumbull, the wise, patriotic and
genial war governor of Connecticut.
"Unc'e Sam" was first hes rd iof dur
ing the war with England, from 1912
to 1915, when Samuel Wilson, then
living in Troy, in the Granite State,
became a large cont ractor for govern
ment supplies. He was widely known
as "Uncle SAM" to distinguish HIM
frem his senior brother, Edward, or
"Uncle Ned" whom Re closely resem-
bled. Both were typical Americans
tall, rugged sons of the Puritan stock
The former had all of his barrels of pro-
visions marked "U. 81; they were
destined for army use and the letters
were wittily applied to the person send
ing them.
"Uncle Sam" with his bell-topped
hat and dress suit of stars and stripes
has become most familiar figure in
comic pictures and common thought.
He is as real to the imagination Of
children to-day is Santa Claus.
