Charles Edward Baker was born i'll
Mason Valley. February 1878. He met
death at Nina, October "a, 1909, being
81 wears of age.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Baker, and grew up on the home farm,
few miles south of town, where he
lived until ABOUT sixteen years of age,
when with characteristic energy he
struck out for himself. He settled in
Carson Valley where he acted as major
domo on the Dressler stock ranches for
wears. Later, he went south and be-
came interested in his brother Frank S
business at Nina. He was quick, capa-
BILE and fearless and made many friends.
He was married to Miss Hilda Mackay
of Portland, Or. at the NJ. +. church,
Reno, MAY S. 1908. His girl wife ar
rived Wednesday morning from San

OH! YOU, AUTO

Below is the copy of a few leaves torn
cut of dairy kept by Vicks and Smith
on recent expedition as far as the North
Pole % Not yet. This trip extends
only to Reno This is positively the
only official record of the journey:
Left Yerington on Sunday at s a. m;
smooth sailing up to Churchill Canyon;
machine balks; Smith advises Vicks to
go after a team to a ranch house Just
over Il hill;" Vicks goes over many
hills; no house; stops many times to
shake sand from shoes; finally arrives
weary and footsore after a ten mile
tramp at the only house he has seen.
Judge his chagrin on hearing cheerful
honk honk just behind him as Jud
comes sailing down grade; too late for
dinner; much sand to Dayton; arrive too
late for supper in that halcyon town; s
p III. and everybody in bed; take
hitch i'll belt and drink of water and
toll on to Carson; lose oil-pan and crank
on road; back up and search for; very
dark; by golly;" arrive at 1880 p. nj;
pet handout at short order house and
retire; arise next morning at 5 O'Clock
and set out for Reno; up grade toward
Franktown Smith announces water
pump not working; must be taken out
for repair; prostrates himself beneath
machine; Vicks, peering about. dis
covers the water tank to be teetotally
dry; they procure little can and pa
tiently carry water from ditch a few
miles back till tank is replenished.
With undaunted spirits they start again
and all goes merry as marriage bell
until they are overtaken by cattle
stampede near the Winters stock farm,
Things look tragic for few minutes,
and lines of lasca are floating in the air
when they discover the stampede to be
in reality only few old mich cows
being driven in to the Western Nevada
Co.'S slaughter houses i'll Reno. Saved
BY the Great Horn Spoon Finally,
with much honk honk they sail into
town at 4;30, triumphant and tired.
Note: The gentlemen are justitiable in
their satisfaction at having broken all
records for speed, as the only thing that
distanced them on the road was this
same herd of milch cows which passed
them three times. It is surprising to
state that Mr.. Smith boarded the South
ern Pacific for San Francisco, but such
is the indubitable fact

Treat All Alike.

A short time ago in New York a
divorce was granted to member of
family noted for it's wealth aad
social position. In that State di-
vorces can be granted for but one
cause, and In the case above referr-
ed to the utmost secrecy prevailed,
not a single detail being made pub
lie. If this was done for the one
purpose of mot gratifying morbid
tastes for scandalous and degrading
details it was we'll. But If, as sus-
pectei, it was done simply out Of
regard for the wealth and social
standing of the family it was not
well. One does not like to criticisa
the courts but the courts would be
less criticised If they gave less cause
for criticism. When it comes to
the courts of Justice the rich and
poor should be treated exactly alike.
There is no more reason why a
scoundrel in the Astor family should
be handled with secrecy by the
courts than in the poorest family in
this country. According to our the
ory Of government when it comes to
the courts we are all supposed to be
on an equality. If the Astor di-
vorce scan ial can be suppressed by
the courts. why don't :hey suppress
all the scandals that are airel in
them.

Plain Talk to Farmers.

The Progressive Farmer, OF
Raleigh, N. c., which is one OF the
best farmers papers we have ever
:ead. says some of its exchanges
contain numerous references to tn
so-called meat and other trusts,
and to fancied combinations CT dea1-
ers and spectators tor ,a.slng inc
prices of farm products. Through
ont all is a tone of regret at ;Ee
high prices Of meal, flour, corn, cic.
This view of the prices OF farm
products Is in sympathy with the con-
.sumers, and we infer that, IN the
on;nion of the Editors these hlgh
or.ces for farm products are greAt
calamity. To one knowing that so
to 80 per cent of our people are
farmers and that the farmer is the
only producer of meat, -four, corn
ETC., this bewail.ng of the high price
of these products appear peculiar al al
least, if not ridiculous.
"1ruly. is it not remarkable that
the farmer should complain OF the
high pr.ces of the products which
he grows? While nearly one-haif
our land Is planted in corn, we
complain of the high price OF corn,
we produce some meat and could
pr roauce more at one-third the price
it is selling for, but still we complain
of the high price of pork. We have
even heard farmers bewailing most
bitterly the high price of cowpea
seed. The cowpea is particularly a
Southern crop, is one OF our great
soil-improvers and hay crops anu
still farmers are heard to complain
of pr.ce of cowpeas. 1t Is fact'
however, that while nearly all farm
prouucts are now bringing top prices
we are injured instead of benettel
thereby; because although farmers
we are buyers, not sellers, OF all
farm products except cotton.
while the farmers OF other Sec
tions are rejoicing at and growing
rich on the high prices of meat am
other farm products, we are COM
planning and blaming the trusts ana
every other imaginable person except
the right one-ourselves. The abb
surSity of the farmer complaining
of the high price of farm products
must be apparent to any one. II
meat, corn and -four are too high
why don't we produce them? Farm
ing is our business. and If we can
not produce these farm products for.
less than the present selling prices
then those prices are not too high.
with all farm products bringing
maximum prices, this ought to be
a season Of rejoicing instead Oh
mourning, and 1t will be when we
realize the ridiculous position we are
putting ourselves in by not growing
those crops to sell which are 80 high
as TO call forth our spc.al atten-
ton. If these prices are too high,
why stop at growing merely enough
for our own use. Why not grow
some to sell and reap the benefits
of the unusually high prices? Ii
we will not avail ourselves OF this
rare opportunity. let US at least
cease making ourselves ridiculous
by the spectacle of farmers com.
planning of the high prices Of farm
products. 49,

Tho Wisdom of Early Shopping.

Had it ever occurred to you that
that the most advantageous way IN
which to shop during the period
which Immediately preceded the
Christmas holidays is to shop ear
ly? asks the Atlanta Journal.
There are great many things
to be said in its behalf.
In the first place, you stand a
better chance of getting what you
want. The stock has not been pick
ed over. You get the first choice of
a fine assortment of goods, such
as come only to this greatest metro
politan market. The lady next door
will not have dress which is q
dead ringer for the one which you
paid forty-flve or fifty dollars for.
But the real point is not SO much
your own selfish. interest as the fact
that thousands of men and women
who are engaged in the shops
are entitled to some kind
of consideration. They. should be
able to enjoy the holidays also.
AMI they can do this only if you
will shop early.
We all know what the holiday
rush Is. Why not make it less bur-
densome this year than it has ever
been before?
You serve your own interests; and
those who are "cabbed' cribbed and
confined" by Shopping early.
Let the holidays this year be q
notably exception from all tina: have
gone before.
