this will mean that the whole of Southern Nevada will be benefited.
Goldfeld is the natural centerfo Tor the whole O. the southern part of the
state, not alone from the fact that it has the greatest gold mines on earth, but
from the reason that it is a railroad and general business center; that it is per-

mining districts of Southern Nevada naturally makes Gldfed his head

New Thoughts From Old Texts
For Women Who Aspire
Don't MOnOpOIze the Good Qualities of Your Friends
Get Out Into the Open and Tell of the
Good You See and Hear.

from myself I must mix with several
people.
There is an age when the bones and
muscles grow stiff; there is also an
age in which a womans mind takes
on the same characteristics. Do,
please, bear this in mind. If you don't
keep broadening out mentally and ex-
ercising those thought muscles there
will come a time when your narrow
ness will be beyond repair
Read EVerything-Get In the Open.
Women should read more, anything
and everything, not merely just the
things that appeal to them How few
and limited these subjects are need
only be ascertained by reading the av-
erage woman's page or magazine.
How can we expect our sex to be
fitted to grasp the problems of gov
eminent when it curls itself up in a
cocoon Of limited thought and refuses
to look at the outside world?
General information is the thing
that makes a woman bright. That
helps her with everything she attempts
nowadays.
Get out into the open. women. If you
would have clever brains. See all you
can, hear all you can and remember all
you can

Every bit of information you absorb
will come in handy some day.
Originality is a quality that cannot
be too much cultivated in the groWIng
child.
Our mode of life, our school system.
everything tends to starve and engulf
this quality.
And yet without it what are we?
The individual without originality is
one of the crowd of commonplace peo-
pie who are driven by the lash of some
one else's brain.
He cannot think for himself, and
consequently he can never lead. but
must be driven by some one who has
the gift.
You may know ever so much in this
world, but if you have not the art of
arriving at your own deductions you
are more ignorant than the little street
arab who can plan for himself and
size up a situation without help
If there is one thing that makes me
tired above all others it is when
read some minister's opinions in print
about matters of which he is absolutely
ignorant.
A minister is a fine man in his place,
but he is not fitted to settle the at
fairs Of the world at so many dollars a
column.
And. besides. it occurs to me there
should be enough work in an earnest
mans church to take up all his time.
Why don't the ministers wives do
the writing for them? They could do
it just as well, and during that time
the pastor himself could be attending
to his flock.

ICE CREAM LOOKED GOOD.

The young man in the new summer
suit who had just ordered maple nut
sundaes for two at a drug store pro-
ceeded to be entertaining.
Did you ever notice how STYLES in
goods change in a drug store, just as
they do in a dry goods shop? In pat
ent medicines everything is guaranteed
in summer to relieve that tired feeling.
while in the winter it was something to
cure your cough and keep your blood
up. At the toilet counter 1t was cold
cream for chapped hands and faces, and
now it's stuff to keep your hair in curl
or stunning bottles of cologne water
for hot weather baths. And there
where you see tables and chairs was
the old candy counter. They clear all
that away in hot weather-no money
in candy for the druggist in summer
Even the soda fountain signs are
changed and suggest tfnkling ice in
stead of nourishing drinks"

WOMAN, WOMAN!

Stray Shots by the Late John Oliver
Hobbies.
Good wives so often die young. Per
haps that is one of their brightest vir-
tues.
A womans mission is to play the
fool, and that is why she can lead a
man so long as she does not love him
On the instant she loves she must be
honest or die; she loses all discretion.
Women only confess the sins they
have left undone. 1t was a man who
prayed for the talent of forgetting.
Men do not like their wives to have
too clear a perception of the ludicrous
It is a masculine theory that the
laughter must be on the male side
only.
