Troubles of People Sifted Through

The police courts were deserted
this morning with the exception of
one case in Mayor Bacon's court.
The officers arrested deaf and dumb
fellow and at the county Jail he is
alleged to have given Turnkey Hoff-.
man a terrible "cussing." In court
this morning he would not talk and
all kinds of threats of hanging and
tortures failed to have the desired
effect. He spelled his name Frank
Porter, and underneath wrote the
word bum" He was acquainted
with the fact that his presence was
not necessary in the city and when
last seen he was shaking the dust of
the city from his feet, following a
westward course.

Alfalfa Needs Food.

1t is important to know that there
Is little difference between successful
alfalfa growing and the successful
growing Of other crops. Poor farming
never brings big crops, nor will poor
land produce as big yields as the moro
fertile. Failure to restore to the soil
the necessary elements of which it has
been robbed means the same in New
York, Kansas, Virginia or anywhere
else. Every farm plant, to prosper,
must find il the soil. readily availa.
BILE. the elements needed for its devel.
opment. If q farmer finds the soil
lacking In elements needed for certain
crops he should either supply the de.
iciency or not attempt their raising.
This is true Of corn or wheat, cotton
or tobacco, no less than alfalfa.

the plan provides for an averaging OF

and the other in three, where there
was a two.day limit. the saving would
Offset the overtime, and no demurrage
be charged. On the other hand, some

state and being guided thereby the
commission has ordered the hearing.

MECCA OF DIVORCE SEEKERS
Average Of Fifteen Join the Colony At
Reno, New, Weekly.

Reno. New. is actually becoming
flooded with divorce seekers from ev-
cry section Of the United States and
ever from Europe. Hardly a day pass
es but what the strange faces of new
arrivals. among the feminine sex. es-
pecially, of prospective Divorces are
seen. The rapidity with which those
who are seeking relief from disjoint-
ed domestic ties are coming to Nevada
is startling.
1t is estimated that at least fifteen
such discontinued souls make their adj
vent at Reno each week. There were
the other day fifty-six divorce COM
plants yet untried by the two district
judges. One day recently there were
four new complaints filed and two de-
crees granted.
There is not a desirable cottage for
rent in Reno today, as the supply does
not equal the demand.
