MUSICAL MICE
BUILT NEST IN
BUTLER PIANO
ARE DISCOVERED WHEN PIANO
TUNER IS AT WORK ON
MUSIC BOX.

Up until few days ago Jake
Goodfriend, manager of the Butler
theater, possessed a family of mu-
sical mice, but now his animals
have departed for other haunts.
The truth of the matter is that
Jake was unaware of being the
owner of the mice for they were
discovered in a comfortable nest
that had been built in the piano.
The discovery was made by Dick
Rabe, piano tuner, who was gor
ing over the Butler music maker.
The nest had been built in one cor
ner and when the animals, which
consisted of the two parents and
nine children, were found, Jake
happened to be lowering around
His stay was short for he immedi-
ately left on important business that
necessitated his attention on the
front sidewalk
However, his champion fox ter
rior, Craps, who has a weakness for
killing mice, came to the rescue and
tackled one of the parents. The
dog made but one tackle and the
mouse caught him by the lip and
held fast. Then Craps started to
join Jake.
The family was exterminated by
Mr.. Rabe and Mrs. Goodfriend, and
it was several hours before Jake
would return to the interior of the
theater. He says that he is not af-
fraid of mice, but is kind hearted
and does not like to see them kill
ed.
Mr.. Rabe stated that it is COM
mon occurrence for mice to build
their nest in piano. as they are
attracted by the music. During his
career as a piano tuner he reports
having found a number of such
nests.

CHOICE NEWS
FOR MOSSBACKS
ROBERT BURDETTE HITS NAIL
ON HEAD IN DISCUSSING
INTERESTING SUBJECT.

What does a man owe to his
town? He owes this duty to him
self and the town-to own part of
it. Ever SO small lot if he can't
own a big one. A forty-foot front
If he can do no better. But he
should own part of the town.
That gives him stake in it,
That man who owns a home in
the town never calls his town it..
When he speaks of it, whether it
be London or Tal-Holt, New York
or Waikiki, he says WE-OUR
town. And he has right to. He
is stakeholder, a partner.
More than that, when he owns
a piece of ground, farm or town
lots, he has stake in the EARTH.
He is a citizen of the universe. His
property extends from the brim-
stone out to the stars. Even now
they are disputing concerning the
right of an airship to sail through
the air over a mans house with
out the owners permission. The
very thought is enough to make a
man feel chesty. And with good
cause.
A man who owns his home be-
gins to study his ticket six weeks
before election day. He scrutinizes
every name on it, and looks up the
candidates record. 1t is the man
that can tie up his real and per-
sonal property in handkerchief
that shuts his eyes and votes the
ticket the boss gives him without
unfolding 1t.
A man owes it to his town to
boost it, in public on all occasions
and at all times. The corrections
of its failings and faults are for
the privacy of the home circle. A
man who would thrash his boy on
the front steps of the court house
ought to be whipped out of town.
The citizen who welcomes the
stranger by telling him what gov
ernment we have, what a corrupt
set of officials misrule the town;
how the town lags behind the age
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1911-01-10

in all matters Of progress and de-
velopment, that it is dead town
and will be so as long as certain
men rule it, is an undesirable citi-
zen.
When man tells you that what
his town needs is a dozen first-class
funerals, he may be correct. But
HE should be the first buried.
"A man owes it to his own town
to shout its advantages from the
housetops. The entire registry lists
should be the promotion committee.
If necessary put binders on the
visitor and let him see, but what
you want him to see. When he
asks what chance a poor man has
in town, tell him the truth. Tell
him the poor man is the only man
who has chance. And that is no
joke. Show him the beautiful
homes of the men who came here
with a capital of working hands
and thinking brains. Tell him the
story of man who began with
day wages. Tell him you think
there should be law compelling
the poor man to give the rich man
a handicap when they come into
competition with each other so as
to give the rich man a chance. 1t
is penniless boys like John Rookie
feller. Andrew Carnegie, Phil Ar
mour and that class, who backed
the rich mems sons of their pow
erty-days clear off the camp"

RURAL PHONE MEN
TO MEET SATURDAY

For the purpose of reyiving and
perfecting their joint organization a
meeting or all the rural phone sub
scribers, on lines running into PEN
dleton, has been called for the Com
mercial club room Saturday at 2 D.
m. w. w. Harrah, and a. Ruppe,
president and vice-president respect
lively of the old rural phone organiza-
ton are responsible for the call and
the y desire to have as many present
at the meeting Saturday as is possible.
According to Messrs Harrah and
Ruppe it is earnestly desired to get all
rural lines into one central COM
pany. At this time there are IA lines
running into the city but each is act
Ing independently. By getting the
lines into one general company 1t Is
held that better service may be Sc
cured from the Pacific states company
and also the farmers may be able, n
protect themselves against too rand
advances in rates.
I'VE are working pa..tfcnlarlv for
better service" says Mr.. Harrah. We
are not getting t.ne service we should
have. We Would also like to ascer-
tain why 1t Is hat rural line subscrib-
ers here, who own n are required
to maintain their lines, must pay
1920 per year for service when sub
scribers on rural lines running into
Walla Walla inc into La Grande get
the same service for 81 per annum."
Five years ago the local rural lines
formed a general organization and
chose Mr.. Harrah as president, Mr.
Ruppe as vice president and H. H.
Gilbert as secretary. Through the eff
forts of that organization the rates
were fixed at SO per annum for a per-
iod of foul years. With that the or
ganization ceased active work. OF
late however the farmers have been
anxious to have the company revived
and in answer to repeated requests
the meeting for Saturday has been
called.
