LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, became afflicted with
boils. which lasted for about two
years. when the affiiction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being infiamed
most-of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.

LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD
Nowhere in Biblical Lore Can There
Be Found Intimation of Any
Other Idea.

We misjudge and distort the nor
mally human nature of the Saviour
when we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his Inferno" with the shadows
of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lords
pathway; there is no hint of such
a foreboding until we reach the mid
die of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead of him, and was
at times pressed down with dread
full sense of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh.
on occasion, why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with a
sense of the humorous, with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and
the absurd side of life; and. further
more. why did he produce so many
things and people to laugh at?-

The average old-time farmer prone look
upon bad roads as necessary evil He realized
in sense what detriment they were TO his in
terests, but he put up with the situation because
he did any way out of the dilemma-at
least not without more work than he could afford
to give. Then along came the United States gov
ernment. when rural free delivery commenced to
be introduced. and declared that these rural mail
carriers could be placed in districts where
the roads were not in fair condition. This did
much to awaken the farmers to the situation for
every rural home prizes the boon of daily mail
delivery. And al about the same time the farm
ers, who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question. found, they
looked closer, that bad roads meant hole in the
pocketbook Of every tiller of the soil 1t began
TO be realized that If a farmer required the
ices of four horses and an entire days time
get load of produce to market via bad roads the
loss TO him was just as serious as though he had
to accept very low price for the yield OF his
acres. Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer in behalf of better roads,
One of the best things accomplished for the
farmer by good roads is that II has broadened
his markets. With rocky or muddy highways
forcing slow progress the average farmer was in
the old days restricted TO one market town-the
nearest his farm. Now with good roads he
in a shorter interval than formerly re-
quired reach any one OF several communities To-
Gated in different directions This enables him
to attain the market where he get the best
prices. Similarly with good roads the farmer is
not likely to be restricted TO railroad for
shipping facilities. If the road nearest his farm
will not give him the he needs or otherwise
play fair he most likely has redress by
driving across the countryside to a rival line
And the very fact that the Introduction of good
roads is destroying such monopolies has served
render the railroads more obliging to their
farmer clients.

FALLoN NEVADA, WEDNESDAY JULY 49, 1911
ARE LOSING MANY HORSES
Local Ranchers Losing Stock
From What May Be Forage
Poisoning

Each season develops something new
ana THIS has not been an exception to
the rule, for it has brought consider
able financial loss to numerous ranehers
OF the valley, who have and are still
losing valuable horses through the
agency of some unknown disease or
potent and insidous poison. The real
cause has not been determined. but il
Is sufficient to know that many horses
nave died, after being i'll but a short
time. The disease, if such it is. seems
to induce complete paralysis before
death ensues.
Among the heavy losers to date are
c, l.. Kent. of Saltwater, d. A. Wildes
and A. d. Drumm, of south of town
and other owners of stock in this valley.
Some have opined that the fatalities
resulting so far have resulted from the
horses eating the nodded hay on the
bottom of stacks fed out, while others
profess to believe that new and insid-
ious disease Is gaining a foothold in
this valley. Whatever the cause, it Is

THE PROPOSED COUNTY FAIR
Will Be the Most Successful of
the County's Exhibits if
Plans Garry

DIR. I. F. Richardson, the moving
spirit behind the Truckee-Carson Fair
Association project to have a big sue
eessful fair meet this fall, is busy pre-
pairing plans, among which is one hav-
ing for its purpose the representation
OF this county at the New York Land
Congress. 1t is DIR. Richardson's plan
to forward from Fallon the most cred
liable exhibits shown at the local fair
to the New York congress, and he and
Assemblyman A. R. Merritt and State
Senator Thos. Dolf will leave shortly
for Carson City. where an effort will
be made to secure an apportionment of
the state publicity fund to be used in
buying sufficient space at the New
York exhibit to allow of a creditable
grouping OF Truckee- Carson products.
Such an exhibit, DR.. Richardson points
out and logically, too, will bring mani
fold results to this section. Ten 1900
cups will be given at New York for the
best soil products, 1t Is planned to
enter local products Ia at least four of
the contests, viz: wheat, alfalfa, pota-
toes and sugar beets.
In the meantime, the Fair Assoca-
tion Is working for other attractions,
including racing program. Hon. w.
w. Williams has entered into the spirit
of the occasot1 and has promised to
give lease on the tract CT land west
of town, which Is of easy access to
this place. while Project Engineer D.
W. Cole has agreed to furnish the
necessary engineers to survey and run
grading levels at the track, where
moderate amount of sctaper work will
suffice 10 put in d stiitable racing tract.
Money prizes will be given at III
local fair for the winners of all events,
and blue ribons will be tabooed as first
prize offerings.
1t would seem that conditions now
are more auspicious than ever before,
for a successful fair this fall. All that
remains is for the valley folks to enter
into the spirit with enthusiasm and an
exhibit will be prepared that must be a
potent advertisement for the section.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the great need for cooperation on the
part of everybody.

.fAuOn WINS OVER LOvELOCK
Our Boys Win in Ball Game in
Which Pitching Is Chief
Feature

The Falon ball team journeyed to
Lovelock and engaged the team that
flies the Lovelock colors on their home
diamond Sunday. What the Fallon
boys did to the opposing team was
something awful to relate. Johnson and
Kent formed the battery for the Fallon
team, and the effectiveness of Johnson's
delivery sufficed to send 10 to the bench
out of q men up-a strike-out record
hard to beat. His arm was in fine shape
and he had curl on the ball that would
make the girls corkscrew curls look
sickly. The Lovelockers simply could
not hit him at all. only two hits, one an
infield and the other an outfield effort,
being made off his delivery. At the
end of the game the score stood 10 to 2
in favor of Fallon. Lovelock, up to the
time of meeting the Fallon team, had
been winning all their games, but they
hadn't met class before, apparently.

A Communication From DIR. T. F
Richardson.

Our County Fair has been and should
continue to be an important factor in
the Improvement of crops, stocks, and
those practices and standards of living,
which go to make life on a ranch worth
while, We are entitled to the active
support of all farmers who are vitality
interested in their own business, for
the county fair.
The local fair, if given the support
it is entitled to, is capable of inform
ing, inspiring and entertaining those
who attend in spirit of inquiry. An
eager, inquisitive visitor can gather
many valuable ideas. suggestions and
impressions as he Systematically in
spects the displays. For every men,
Der of the family there is much of spe-
cial interest at this class of county fair,
which should be so comprehensive, well
balanced and extensive that it can COM
pare well in educational effect with
state fairs.
In recent years there has been a
marked elevation of the ideals toward
which the ranchers on the Truckee-Car-
son project are working. Public opin-
ion, shaped by the new forces that are
slowly enriching and enlarging the
ranch life on this project, has effected
many wholesome changes for the better.
Particularly is this true in regard to
the county fair. Beginning in a small
way, it has improved year by year,
meeting public approval, until now it is
function eagerly looked forward to
each year by many people, not alone in
this state but by those in neighboring
states as we'll.
Men and women who are qualified FOR
leadership in the great movement tow
ard higher and more efficient rural
citizenship will find, in our county fair,
an effective medium through which to
work. And this is where the men and
women on the Truckee- -Carshn project
have shown that they possess the quail
ity of leadership in the highest sense.
The majority of us here came with
nothing but determination to succeed,
and how we'll we have accomplished our
purpose needs but glance at the green
fields around us. Alfalfa, grain of all
kinds, sugar beets, dairy herds, and a
5000, 900 sugar factory are standing
monument to the industry and energy
of the men and women, on the project,
who stayed with it and proved to out

worth while.

after it has left it's stamp upon sue

More About the Cutoff.

A special correspondent of the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal says.
1T is automatically announced that
the Southern Pacific is considering a
cutoff extending through the Wonder
and Boyer camps in Nevada and
across the famous Osopp valley salt
fields. This line will extend from Bat
tie Mountain to Hazen in a direct line;
and will cut out the great curve in
the Humboldt river, saving 40.2 miles
across the state of Nevada. The line
can be built for $1,000, 900 and is i'm
portant in connection with the reduc-
tion of cost on the transcontinental
traffic over the Southern Pacific trunk
line to such an extent that the cost
will be repaid in eight years. The or
iginal survey was made by John T.
Reid and was transferred to the South
ern Pacific interests some months ago.
1t is expected that a decision in re-
gard to this cutoff will be made soon.
1t is of Importance to several mining
camps in Nevada, particularly the op-
erations at Wonder and Boyer"
