LEX SMITH Wins
A FAIR BRIDE

Yesterday afternoon at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Jacob
sen, their daughter, Miss Minnie
was united in marriage to Alex
ander Smith. Rev. Frederick H.
Menzel, pastor of the Lutheran
Church tied the knot that united
the lives of these young people.
The wedding was strictly private
being attended only by the init
mate relatives of the bride.
The bride is one sof the fairest
daughters of Carson Valley and
has been a prominent member of
the younger set. Mr.. Smith can
indeed count himself as fortunate
in winning this young lady as bis
wife.
The groom came to this placs
from his home in Sacramento VAL
ley some four years ago and we
now know why he has been stick
ing around. He is made of the
kind of goods that produce useful
and trustworthy citizens and no
bride could wish for more.
While the young couple have
announced none of their future in
tentions, it is understood that they
will reside in Gardnerville whe,e
the groom is employed.
We extend our heartiest con-
gratulations.

clothes that didn't fit him. He
was supposed to be the yap who
was taken in by every CRATER and
faker who was on the outlook for
innocent suckers. 1t wasn't re-
markabla that the country boy
came to the conclusion that it was
q disgrace to be farmer and got
away the first chance he had.
Gradually things are changing.
The farmer boys are being educat-
ed. The business of farming is
being counted mighty respectable
and it takes brains to make it a
success. When the boys find that
they can make more money on the
farm than 95 per cent of the men
who live in town and have a better
standing in society; than 95 per
cent OF the people in the cities and
towns can have, they will want to
stay on the farms.-Farmer's Mail

A. TALbERT
UNDER ARREST
WANTED IN OHIO FOR
NON-SUPPORT OF CHILD
Will Return Without ExtraditiOn
Papers and Face Charges
Which He Claims He Can
Disprove.

Last Saturday Sheriff Arrild
received telegraphic advice from
the officials of Sanduskey county,
Ohio, to arrest and hold A. r.
Talbert, who was wanted there on
charge of non-support of minor
child. Through divorce pro-
seedlings instituted in the District
Court at Genoa on January 5th of
this year, the sheriff had no diff
Guilty in locating Talbert, who has,
for months past, been employed by
the Dangberg Land and Live Stock
company.
When Talbert was told by the
sheriff that he was wanted and
whould necessarily have to ac-
company him to Genoa, the young
man showed surprise and was not
expecting any such charge to be
the outcome of his matrimoaial
difficulties.
Mr.. Talbert was married when
quite young, and his married life
started off with much happiness
A little one arrived at the new
home and welded more closely the
lives of the young couple. Then
the unexpected happened and ac-
cording to the action brought to
obtain divorce, the young wife
wholly disregarded her marriage
vows, and without cause deserted
the husband that she swore she
would love and honor. She desert
ed her husband in November, 1909.
After his arrest Talbert told the
officer that he had offered to sup
port his child but that it was his
desire to have the little one cared
Tor by his mother.
No requsition will be required in
this case as Mr.. Talbert has signi-
fed his willingness to return to
Ohio without them. The sheriff of
Sanduskey county is expected to
arrive from the East today to es-
cort the young man back to the
scene of his matrimonial diff
culties.

greatest features of the valley dis

A frost protected belt has been

future for the apple industry

be well worth the while of any one
thinking of locating in the section
to get in touch with one of these
concerns.
1t is said that everyone in Min
den and Gardnerville, which are
right in the heart of the valley,
has a bank account that augers
well for the future of that section.

TRIBUTE TO

AND HER lNDUSTRIUS
FARMER CITIZENS
J. A. Buchanan. a Keen Eyed
Writer, Tells of What He Saw
When Here.

To those who live among the
sagebi ush, who seldom see the
great, waving field OF alfalfa, 30
soothing to the eye, a visit to
Douglas county is more than a
treat; it ls a new lease OF life, for
nesting down between the rugged
hills we find valley that is truly
one of the beauty spots OF creation.
A county, no matter how fertile
its lands may be, must have within
its borders people who will take
advantage of the opportunities
which God has given it, and such
race of men and women we find
in Douglas. The vast fields pro-
duce great quantities of alfalfa. the
smaller ranches give yearly . yield
Of produce that brln % to the county
immense sums of money, and the
lowing kline that browse over the
hundreds of acres devoted to
pasture lands yield enough butter
lat to make the creameries divi-
dendpayers.
Great herds of beef cattle roam
the fields and bring to their own
ers goodly sum at shipping time.
The inhabitants OF Douglas are
thrifty people; they lead in
duslrious lives, their chief concern
is that their children may secure
tn It education which was denied
to many of them. Douglas is
rich in resources, but wealthier in
in it's class of citizens.

REPORT GIVES
INFORMATION

The annual report of the State
Controller for the year 1910, has
been issued and the information it
contains is extremely interesting
to those who desire to keep inform
ed on the financial condition OF
the Estate and different counties.
Douglas county, according to the
report, has an assessed valuation
of real and personal property a
mounting to 81, 0,SoS.00, for the
year 1910. The taxes were paid
on this amount with the exception
of $44.67, this being the smallest
delinquent list of any of the fifteen
counties of the state. During that
year $660.90 was collected in poll
taxes, while the slot machines
brought in revenue OF 1918 40.
In court fines S96 was collected.
This county paid to the state the
sum of $S,795.94. The report
gives the mineral output of the
state by counties and for the year
1910 Douglas is one of four counties
in Nevada that shows no mineral
output.

THINGS HAVE
SURELY CHANGED

There is no particular occasion
to worry, brother over the fact
that the population OF the cities
and towns is increasing faster tha n
the population OF the country.
There is just one way to change
that condition, and that is to make
farm life more desirable.
That will be brought about by
education. | don't mean by the
study Of Greek or the higher
mathematics or any of the courses
taught in colleges and universities,
but the education that will show
the farmer how to get more out of
the farm.
Secretary Wilson says that the
farms ought to produce three
times as much as they do now, and
he has examples to show that it
can be done. 1t is just as easy to
raise good horse as a poor one.
There Is money in the good horse
and none In the poor one. 1t is as
easy to grow tine, big cattle as
runls. There is money in good
cattle, but the farmer who raises
runts aud scrubs is mighty apt To
be poor all his life. Get boy
enthusiastic over raising fine stock
and the chances are that you could
not drive him away from the farm.
There are knocks on agricultural
education. Admit that the agri-
cultural department at Washing
ton makes experiments that a
mount to little or nothing, the fact
still remains that the d-partm, n
has been worth untold niillions to
the farming interests of OF this
country and that Is educating
farmers all over the country in a
way that will put money into their
pockets.
Admit that some of the profess
ora In the agricultural colleges are
mere theorists without practical
sense, the fact still remains that
the agricultural colleges are doing
vast amount OF practical work.
As time goes on there is less oil
theory and more of practical
demonstration. The country is
just beginning to wake up to "A
realization that agriculture ought
to be learned profession, that to be
real good farmer and ST. ck grow
er requires more brains and prac-
ticil education than almost any
other business under the sun.
This truth hasn't been evident
for many years, and IL isn's gen.
orally acknowledged yet. The

ing TO concede that a man didn't
need TO know very much to be a
successful farmer. In the past, if
the farmer had a boy whom he
thought was extra smart, he figured
on educating him and putting him
into some profession. If the boy
was just an ordinory sort of a
chap he could stay on the farm.
