NEW FARMERS ARE PAYING UP

The "atcr-paying time for pro-

and from figures obtainab'e at this
time, it is believed THAT very few

Project records indicate that
$4,000 was due and payable
on March 81 for construction. OF
this sum at least $35 900 was pal d,

showing that $27,446.28 passed
through postofIicc channels to the
Carson City land tfiicc, which is
the agent for Uncle Sam in making
his Truckce- Carson project col

The total amount Of building
charges assessed against land
holders in this project for the year
1910 is $50, 900 in round numbe rs,
which is due following the prece-
dents Of this and last year, the
day of paying this money may be
cXtcned to March 81 Of next year.

WHAT MAKES A TOWN?

What makes town. any wayo
Is it the wealth evidenced by fine
homes and sple.>did store build
ings? These may attest the
stability and thrift of certain
people. but they offer no great in
ducements to commercial and
moral progress. Is it tie spirit
of good order and law observance?
That is factor only. The sleep
lest old hamlets that dot the map
have this spirit in rank bundance.
Is it the schools and churches?
May their number ever increuse,
but they don't. make a town they
only culture it. Is it the geog ra-
phical location, the character of
the country surrounding, the ship
ping facilities, the natu al f. Gil
tiles? None OF these is an essen
tial. Well What it is that makes a
town anyway? Just one thing
the unity of the people the exist
ence of common bond which
causes business and social enemies
to put aside all differences when it
comes to boosting the town. No
town ever made real progress on
the way to substantial success with
out the get together spirit unani-
mously adopted. 1t has rejuveanted
old hulks of towns that were yawn-
ing their way TO endless sleep. 1t
has infused new life blood into the
heart of commercial life and made
thriving cities out of paraletic
villages. Natural advantages
count for much. and prosr Gritty
cannot be built on shifting sand,
but any town with half a chance
can be made to grow and expand
and thrive when its citizens join
with one accord in tie boosting
program. - Exchange

Peru, Ind. July 29-In speaking of

OF the discovery of several cases of
Asiatic cholera, Will W. Lockwood,
general secretary of the Young Mems
Christian Association in Shanghai.
China, who is visiting his mother,
Mrs. Mary E. Lockwood. of this city,
said that he did not believe there was
any danger of spread of the plague
in this country on account of climatic
conditions and sanitary precautions
which are being taken.
Shansha's Regulations.
Cholera" said Mr. Lockwood, will
not thrive where there is cleanliness
anr proper sanitary steps are taken,
Every Shanghai is quarantined against
some port where cholera exists, and So
rigid are the quarantine regulations
and so effective the treatment of the
disease that only once in recent years
has there been any number of cases
| Every year there are probably from
ten to twenty cases, but these are at
once isolated, so the disease does not
spread.
"Asiatic cholera is a disease pecu
liar to tropical countries and there is
always danger of it being carried from
one port to another. On account OF
their contiguity to countries where
the disease becomes scourge, the
Japanese and some parts Of China
have established what is probably the
most efficient quarantine maintained
anywhere in the world There is chol
era in parts of China. but principally
in the south, Shanghai and other large
cities have kept it down to the mini
mum through eternal vigilance ant
the most severe methods.
Japanese Quarantine.
| Japan, especially, fights to keey
out the dread disease. The quarantine
regulations in that country are per

government. Special care is taken, o
course, to investigate the passenger:

passengers are packed together Xix,

lions. Every passenger is compelled
to undergo most thorough examina

The torture Of the inquisition Is not

the only difference between that chair

You go to your dentist for An exam
nation or cleaning of your teeth. That
dentist may be very dear friend, but
in his torture chamber he becomes
your dearest foe.
"Ha. What have we here?" Thus
the inquisitor. Two filings? We
must have another appointment. How
would tomorrow at O'Clock suit your
1t suits you like an invitation to be

You leave the presence OF that heart
less dentist a changed and a melan-
choly man. Your nerves are tangled
like sweet bells out of tune. An omi-
nous prospects, O'Clock! 1t looms ever
on the horizon of your subconscious'
ness.

| chair next day with a sort Of sickly

| First is a skirmish when the smiling

ugh!
He now begins his murderous job
| the grinding out of the holes. He calls
them mere cavities" but they are
holes-holes as big as tree stumps
You cover and finch and grunt. he
keeps hunting for 1.-The place where
you live And you are Eat home"
Afterward there is the hammerinl
in of the gold with a ''sledgehammer.'
1t Is a hard way to acquire riches
! The rascal forces the metal on you
though 1t is no legal tender. And hi:
supreme contempt for your finer feel
ings! Really, it is unfair to thus
hammer a man when he is down.

And that, on top of the other as

There is one very interesting fact
connected with meteors that have
struck the earth. Hundreds Of them
have been examined and found to con-
tain animal remains-that Is. the very
lowest forms Of life. This indicates
that they are parts OF world that
burst into fragments long. long ago.
What thought-a world broken up
and scattered through space. Maybe
we had another moon once. but that
broke into pieces and these are the
pieces. and maybe they are parts of
the planet that once revolved between
Mars and Jupiter. Over 500 Of the
larger pieces Of this planet have been
discovered and catalogued. One of
these dew away inside of Mars orbit.
