HUMOR OF THE Law

The negro boy was up for the
fifth time on charge of chicken
stealing. This time the magistrate
decided to appeal to the boys
father.
Nov, see here, Abe, said he to

times for stealing chickens that
I'm tired of seeing him here"
"Ah don't blame you sab, ~
returned the father. "Ah's tired
O seeing him here too"
Then why don't you teach him

.ELKO YOUNG MEN
DEMAND RECOGNITION

We can talk all we want to about
Boys clubs. they are all right
but right now Elko needs home
for her young men. Some place
where a young man can go and
read or play or exercise. Some
place where he can invite his best
girl. If he has one, to come and sec
muscle end lrsWr, intellect and
spirit developed. .av
The number Of young men in
F. lko is steadily increasing. New
families are moving into the, town.
Many young men find it necessary
to room and this fact has developed
our many hotels and rooming
houses. Neither a hotel or room.
ing house contains the attractions
that they should have and satisfy
the needs and desire of the young
mn. The result will be the
establishing Of clubs Of young men
and the leading organization in this
line is that Of the Young Mems
Christian Association. This
organization furnishes the home
comforts lacking in the rooming
house. Increases sociability,
developing al the same time the
pind, intellect and spirit of it's
members.
Elko has the young men. Most
Of them desire the betterment
that comes with an organization If
his kind. She has the moneyed
men who can put such an oreani>
tzation successfully upon its feet.

ADVERTISING AS
A SCIENCE PAYS

Some people say that advertis-
ing is all matter of luck; that
you cannot tell what advertising is
going to do, whether or not it is
going to pay. This Jay. be true;
but it is very strange that the man
who gives intelligent thought to
his advertising and does it lin an
intelligent. earnest, straightfor-
ward way, usually has the luck on
his side. He is lucky in his
advertising because he reduces it
to science. Advertising is just as
certain as paying rent. Advertis-
ing is governed by the same
common-sense business lines that
govern buying a lot of tomatoes
or Goldfish.

HOW TO PREVENT
TYPHOID MENACE

The menace of typhoid fever in
country districts-a menace aris-
ing from polluted drinking water
lis thoroughly considered in
report by Myron L. Fuller, of the
United States geological survey, in
which the various sources of
pollution are indicated and sug.
gestions are given for means of
protection.
Typhoid fever rates are usually
greater in the country than cities,
despite the prevailing belief that
farms. isolated as they are from
areas of congested population. are
ideally situated for obtaining pure
and wholesome water.
Failure to protect adequately
the the wells in farming districts
is given in the SUI vey's report as
the most common reason for their
pollution, and ignorance of the
manner in which ground water
circulates is the cause of the
faulty protection. Chemical
analysis is not rated high by Mr..
Fuller as means of detecting
polluted water, for he asserts that
careful common sense inspection
Of the district is usually much
more to the point.
Sources of pollution in the
vicinity Of we'll or spring should
be noted wherever possible, and
drinking water s::ould not be
drawn except at safe distance
from them. The distance required
for absolute safety varies greatly
with the character of the rock.
For wells sunk in sandstone, slate.
and shale. 100 feet may he
sufficient; where the surface
stratum is composed of fine sand
200 feet should be allowed, and
where it is limestone or granite
much greater distance will be
necessary. Water may run
polluted in limestone for miles, 20
that wells in regions where
limestone makes up the greater
part Of the surface rock should be
carefully examined after rains for
mud and floating matter, for these
are pretty sure indications of
pollution. '....
For potecting wells, springs, and
cisterns Mr.. Fuller advocates, first
! of all, water tight lining to keep
out surface water. Wells and
springs should always be covered
and pOtected from animals dust and
falling leaves. Watering troughs
should always be located q safe
distance away, though the custom
prevails in country districts of
having well and trough side by side.

When asked for an interview on

he would be at leisure. When this
time came. the reporter found IN m

/ The ratification Of the report of

Senator Lorimer's title to his seat
was encouragement of political
corruption all over the land. 1t
was amazing to read the position
Ut some the senators that they did
believe there was any bribery
not because they would not give
credence to the oath of any man
who coEfesscs to bribery. They,
therefore, desregar led the con-
feSsions of half dozen or SC of
the legislators that admitted they
were brihed to vote for Lorimer.
The doctrine announced by these
senator's wall make it impossible
to ever'prove bribery. For the
only way to prove bribery is BY one
Of the parties to the bribery trans
action. and. as both the giver and
taker of brides are equally guilty,
evidence must of necessity come
through polluted lips. When men
give or take brides, they do not
shout it from the housetops. Nor
do they call on witnesses as to
what they are doing. Bribery is
| always in secret-under cover.
No one knows anything about il
