THE BARRIER" .
A STRONG PLAY

Craig Lippincott, the Philadelphia
publisher, according to the leading
nerve specialists of America, COM
mitted suicide, as result of witness
ing realistic tragedy upon the stage.
This is but another demonstration of
the fact which all, the world now
recognizes, that there are three dis
tine degrees of impression received by
the stage development of story or
event.
. 1t is an axiom of psychology that the
spoken word has more force than the
written word. The drama bites deeper
into the memory, and the sub-con-
scious self than !. the printed page.
When the spoken word is accompanied
by the sensuous. appeal of action, by
the glitter and CLEAN of lights, and
bulwarked by the presence of an audi
ence, most of whom are known to the
sensitive onlooker, the suggestive
force is increased to the highest power.
The knowledge of this fact prompt
ed Rex Beach, author of ''The Bar
rier,'' to refuse a generous offer of
many thousands of dollars for the
moving picture rights of his story,
"The Barrier stating in his re-
fusal that the public of America
should not witness any halfway meas
ures in a theme SO tenselv teeming
with the lift of "The Last West"
Therefore there will be no presenta-
tion of "The Barrier" by moving pie
ture companies for years to come, and
the same managerial astuteness and
rigidity of purpose which refused to
pluck this easy money from the Edison
company, is diligently behind the play,
so that every performance of "Tha
Barrier" is given with directness of
purpose that has placed it in the
forefront of the successes of the day.
The play will appear here Thursday,
September 7th. Reserved seats on sale

EXTENDS A HELPING
HAND TO WOMEN

Once upon time, writes Isabel Cor
don Curtis in an article in Success
Magazine, l spent an interesting hour
with Secretary Wilson. . He told me
the story of what Uncle Sam is doing
for the women of America.
Thousands of people think he
began, "that tn agricultural depart
ment helps nobody but the farmer. OF
course, while helping the farmer, in
cidentally we help the farmer IS wife
and daughter-only we do more than
that. Hundreds of men and women in
our department work year in and year
out to solve problems which face the
woman who lives in the country. We
teach her how to make the best possi-
BILE use of the food she raises, how to
market it, preserve and cook it in
ways that are new to country people.
We show her how to plan a house,
that is as sanitary, convenient, easily
heated and comfortable as the average
city home. Generally it is a much less
expensive and more beautifully locat-
ed home than dwelling in the city
can achieve. Our experts simplify
kitchen toll as they ease the farmer s
field labor. They teach how to exter-
inmate house pests, lay out pleasant
flower or vegetable garden and at
tractive grounds. They suggest
shrubs and vines which will thrive in
different climates and tell how to care
for them. When the farmers wife is
brought face to face with any diff
Guilty all she has to do is to write to
us. We help her if it is in our power,
not only with bulletins prepared by
the first experts in the country, but
also by personal letters. The men and
women in charge of each bureau give
a lifetime of study to one science.
81 have profound belief in help
ing the country woman as far as posi-.
BILE, because it tells Americas future
in this way: The girl who sees he,
mother drudge out her life in hard
unremitting toll longs for very diff
ferent future. OF course, her eyes az
turned upon the city. and when th'
first chance comes she leaves hon
She will tell YOU she has no intent
of becoming the slave her mother h.
been. We combat this feeling by
every measure in our power. The best
way to do it is by making a country
home so pleasant. convenient, comfort
able and attractive that children will
hate to leave it.''

SCHOOLS Open
FOR FALL Term

School opened this morning for the
fall term with an attendance which
promises realization of the hope of the
teachers from principal down, that
this will be the banner year since the
inception of the two institutions
While in some of the classes there
have been losss owing to the moving
away of some families, this has been
made up by the accession of new
comers. Especially in the high school
is there noticeable increase in the en-
rollment, sixteen students being en-
rolled on this, the first, day, as against
five last year, and Principal J. f..
Graham has assurances of parents of a
number of students who have not as
yet returned from vacation trips to
make it certain that there will be well
over twenty scholars attending high
school before another week has
elapsed.
In the grammar school in the first
grade, which is in charge of Mrs. Jen
ME Smith, there were enrolled %
scholars and the attendance will num-
Der thirty within few days. Miss
Ella Lying, who has the second grade,
enrolled the same number, with a
promise Of twenty eight, when all who
have signifed their intention Of com
ing are present, while in the class of
Miss Lear, the third grade, there were
90 with a likelihood of 23 before the
week is out Miss Minnie Wolf is in
charge the fourth grade with an
enrolment of 81 which is expected to
be increased to "a within the next few
days and the combined 5th and 9th
grades, under Miss Genevieve Lying,
showed an attendance of 30, with a
possible 49, Miss Jessie Diamond is
again in charge of the 7th and 9Th
grades, and though but sixteen answer
ed to the roll call this morning there is
every reason to expect this number to
be increased to 90.
The classes were in session but
short time this morning, when the
scholars were excused to give them
an opportunity to procure the new
books and instructions and to return
at / O'Clock this afternoon when the
regular work was begun.
The special work in music under
Miss Lear and in drawing under Miss
Ella Lying will be carried on in the
same manner as during the last three
months of the last term.
Professor Graham has completed his
plans to carry on the work in the high
school along the most practical, mod
ern and up-to-date lines. A great deal
of attention will also be given the
athletic side of school life. 1t is
planned to have a basket ball team
for the girls and a base ball team for
the boys. In addition there will prob
ably be a girls tennis club.
Following are the students who were
enrolled in the high school this morn
ing:: Rena, Brewster. Grace Latta,
Nina Roundtree, Electa Hurst, Alice
Wagner Rosalia Roberts, Alma Hos
kins, Evelyn Sheehan, Ruth Murray
and Chas. Goen, all of Winnemucca;
Gertrude Pinson, Beatrice and Jean
Langwith and Lena Fresia, of Golcon-
da; Dora Waters, of Austin, who is
completing her fourth year, having
taken the three years course at Aus
tin, and JOS Tucker, whose family
recently moved here from Georgia.

eral weeks, is more likely to indicate
a different source of infection than the
water, perhaps several different foci
from which it has spread. In case of
the disease spreading from milk
route the cases may be found among
the patrons of that route, perhaps ex-
clusively. Cases frequently occur in
the vicinity of other eases where per-
haps the infection was carried by
house flies, which by breeding and
feeding in human excreta, are respon-
sible for the dissemination of the dis
ease under discussion in many in
stances. In fact so dangerous is the
house fly in this respect that the lead
ing authority on this insect in the
United States proposes that its name
should be changed from that of house
fly to typhoid fly. to call attention
to it's dangerous character. The fly
problem is a difficult one to deal with
successfully in communities where
primitive methods for the disposal of
human deieeta are in vogue, bu tit be-
comes much simplifed in well-sewered
communities To be sure we are not
able to, as yet, effectually prevent flies
breeding in town. but we can con-
troll it materially by Destroying their
breeding places, privy vaults and ma
nure piles, and where there are sew
ers place all human dejeeta beyond
their reach. Eradicating the house
flv may be difficult problem but the
disposal of sewage is a comparatively
simple one which should he given our
most serious attention as sanitarians.
