SUEING A BANK
AN INTERESTING CASE GROWS
FROM LOCAL DEFUNCT
INSTITUTIONS.

RENO, April 14.--An interesting
case. one of the many that have
cropped up since the failure of the
State Bank and Trust company, was
tried this week before the United
States circuit court at Sacramento.
George S Green, who represents
the plaintiff, returned from the
Capital City yesterday morning.
The action was one brought by
Bertha Smith of Tonopah against
the D. 0. Mills National Bank of
Sacramento.
1t appears from the testimony
adduced that the plaintiff, who was
suing for the recovery of the
amount of a draft, $4,000, placed
it with the defendant for collec-
ton and credit some days before
the bank closed.
The draft was honored, in fact it
was marked paid, after having
been sent for collection through
the Washoe County bank, which
forwarded it to the Tonopah branch
of the State Bank and Trust COM
pany.
The draft was made out on Octo-
Der IS, 1907, and on October %
it was entered on the books of the
State Bank and Trust company as
credited and the amount charged
to the Washoe County bank.
On October 23d the bank failed
and closed its doors. Two months
later, according to the books in
troduced in evidence, there was a
counter entry made, charging the
sum against the account of the
Washoe County bank and charging
it to the account of Bertha Smith,
thus multiplying the previous entry.
The court has not yet passed upon
the matter.

AUGUST.

In many ways August is the crown.
ing month of the year. 1t Is period
of fruitions. And yet there is not that
approach of the cooler weather of Sep
TENDER that brings haunting remind
ers of the decline of the year. August
is the high tide of natures life, the
full rounded contamination of her tolls
and her joys, and as yet there is no
hint of the inevitable ebb.
To most people August is an unpop-
ular section of the revolving year.
The sun has gone a considerable dis
lance southwark, but little relief has
as yet come to the heat. There are
days of intense humidity when an air
surfeited with abnormal moisture lays
its oppressive and clammy hand on
the human physique.
Most nature lovers would perhaps
say that June is the high tide Of the
year, that glorious period of natures
adolescence, when all her greenery is
untainted by the tan of the sun and
the soil of flying dust, when all is
hope and expectation.
And yet, just as there are few people
of middle life who would care to live
all through the struggles and ques'
tionings of their youth, even though
that youth was gay with song and
dance, so June at its best is time OF
immaturity. The seed has been cast
into the ground, but it has been left to
the chances and changes of fate be-
yond the power and ken of man. The
| future Is fog bank, and no one knows
whether his toll is to bring prize or q
| blank.
In August the harvest of the pro
ducts of the earth fills the air with
| sweet odors, the simmer of the CLOS
sy corn is the visible sign of the
wealth of nutriment which a loving
nature has placed out of sight in the
black soil. The golden apples are red
dening in the tree tops, and the air is
harmonious with the hum of insect
voices.
The work of the fields has so fal
progressed that the toiler at the worst
has faced his losses and has little feal
of future decline, and under usua
conditions he is sure of ample reward
September and October have ;
higher pitched chord of color ant
sound, and ripper and more abundan
harvest. But in the frosts that Sc
aflame the tree tops there is the COLI

was accepted that the disease would

hefty load of blame upon some other
fellows frame our talents we devote.
When l rise from my downy couch

a hundred fathoms deep; but while he
still infests this sphere and hangs
around this village here, my province
is to weep" But when I've soaked my
head while, subdued the mild attack
of bile, know it isn't true; for all the
sorrows that I bear l raised myself,
with tender care, and nursed them as
they grew. When some affiiction
comes to rack your bosom, try and
trace it back-you'll find you sowed
the seed; your happiness and sorrow
both, when analysed are but the
growth of your own word or deed. So,
neighbor, be a dead game sport, and
do not paw around and snort and
blame some other guys when sorrow
grabs you by the heart and rends your
bosom all apart, and tears bedim your
eye. ,EBR 'i@UIIWW

Useless Doinus.

There is no use in cussing when
things are going wrong, for saying
things and fussing won't bring good
luck along. If fortune treats you mean
ly you'll find that it will pay to go
around serenely, and smile the good
old way. There is no use repining if
you have got an ache; there is no use
in whining as though your heart
would break, It's best to sit and suf-
fer your little pain and grin; your luck
might be much tougher than 1t has
ever been. Sometimes the gods cor
rect you, and if you give no screech,
your neighbors will respect you, and
say that you're peach. There is no
use in ranting; the quiet man is best;
that mouth is most enchanting which
often takes a rest. Just do some ST
lent thinking while jogging on your
way; so many tongues are blinking
clanking all the day!

HERE'S A SUGGESTION.

There is more human interest in the
aeroplane today than in any other
line of activity. A number of airship
meets have been held in Nebraska,
with varying success, but none that
has yet been held would in any way
detract from the interest that would
center in a great airship exhibition in
Norfolk this fall. For couple of
thousand dollars a line of flying of
high order ought to be available, and
such a program might furnish the fea-
ture of fall festival which would
give to the people of Norfolk's terri
tory the entertainment that they crave
once year.
A famous band to make music and a
live stock show, in which fine speci'
mems of farm stock could be assem-
bled, might also be drawing cards.

Among the changes that Gen. Wood
is making in army regulations, with
the approval Of President Taft, is
much lighter punishment for young
soldiers who, through home sickness,
go home without permission and later
return to take their medicine. The
punishments inflicted in the past have
been out of all proportion to the crime.

There is reason for special congrat-
ulation in the increasing value and
dignity that is being placed upon spe-
cial preparation for the diplomatic
service Of the United States. There
was time, we admit with shame,
when diplomatic appointments were
handed out as rewards for party SER
vice, with very little regard as to the
fitness of the individual for the posi-
ton. Those days are forever gone.
Ambitious young men realize the
change and are entering minor posi-.
tions in the legations and embassies
that they may by years of service be-
come fitted for those of greater i'm.
portance. A successful diplomatist
must be a person of exceptional ad
dress, educated, cultured, linguist
and compendium of general informa
ton. Especially must he be familiar
with the manners, customs and gov
ernmental methods of the country tc
which he is accredited. But 1t Is all
worth while, for in American diplo
macy is opportunity for career of in

RAINFALL.

Is the cutting Of American forests
affecting general rainfall?
If the theory of some scientists is
correct, that the reduction of forest
areas has caused general rainfall to
decline, public water supplies will
prove inadequate.
Prof. Willis Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, threw a worrisome
bombshell into the camp of the con-
servationists, when he said that for
est cutting is not merely not affecting
general rainfall, but he minimizes its
alleged tendency to create freshets in
spring, with a corresponding small
run off of water in summer.
His statement as respects freshets
was less significant than it was gen
orally regarded at the time. Prof.
Moore took the ground that soil under
agricultural cultivation may retain
water just as we'll as soil supporting
an ancient tree growth. He produced
figures from the valley of the Seine
covering several centuries, tending to
support his view that deforestation
did not have these unfavorable results.
The conditions in the Seine valley,
one of the garden spots of the world,
are, however, different from those pre-
vailing in our country when the tim.
Der is removed. The thrifty French
peasants, one can we'll imagine, make
careful use of the deforested areas for
farm purposes, and the ploughed and
fortified land quite likely may retain
moisture as we'll as the tree growth.
In our country, when forest is re-
moved it is quite likely to grow up
| merely TO rough untitled brush land
which one would think would not re-
tain moisture as we'll as the old forest
The observations of individuals liv'
ing along great rivers has been during
recent years, that in spring the waters
reach portions of the banks never
touched before, while in summer, isl
ands not before accessible, can be
reached with dry feet.
Rain comes from the clouds OF mois
ture drawn up from the vast ocean
wastes to the south and southwest OF
our shores. Until these dry up the
supply will equalize in long periods OF
years.
One of the best rainfall records in
the country has been that of Samuel
Rodman and his son of New Bedford
Mass, kept from 1914 to 1908. Fol
the fifty years from 1914 to 1864, this
showed an average Of 46 inches pei
year, and from 1866 to 1908, an av
erage of AZ inches.
In spite of the deforestation in the
Ohio valley, rainfall figures at Cincin
natl from 1871 to 1889 showed an av
erage of Alb inches, and from 1890 tc
1908, of Ais inches.

Congress stands pat with President
Taft. The effort to override the pres
ident's veto on the wool bill has failed.
The president, in his message, points
out that the only intelligent thing to
do is to await report of the tariff
commission, now making an investi-

tariff. To act hastily now, without
awaiting that report which will be
