1T Is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think Of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, SO essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life. are often only matter Of little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do SO much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
SO little. that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. 81 L, Boss
ton, will secure liberal sample Of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

GOT TIE LETTERS MIXED
CIersyman's Mistake Resulted In Civ
ing Decided Surprise to DignI-
fled Archbishop.

One of the most amusing stories
which the Hon. Lionel A. Tollemache
tells In Nuts and Chestnuts," is that
entitled, THE Wrong Envelope" Mr.
M, missionary, shortly before
leaving England, received two letters
one from Archbishop TAFT asking
him to dine, and the other from the
secretary Of religious society, a very
old friend, asking him to preach. He
accepted the archbishop's invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary, but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: "Mr. M,
do you always answer your dinner in
vitations in the same way?"
II do not understand, your Grace"
The letter, which was then shown
to the missionary, ran thus: You old
rascal! Why did you not ask me be-
fore? You know perfectly well that
shall be on the high seas on the date
you name."-London Tit-Bits.

DISTRIBUTING THE GIFTS

Should one wish something more

that may cause excitement in present
distribution.

other has selected. but the element ol
surprise will be emphasized.
A mother who wishes to avoid con
fusion at the breakfast table has de-
cided that no presentation should be

The Nevada Copper Belt is still max

south of the sand ranch, to the Yering-

a Il per cent grade on this stretch of
about three miles, and it is to be cut
down to a per cent grade. This is
being done so that the locomotives used
by the company can handle heavier
trains over the road. The company is
now delivering several carloads, of so
tons each, of ore to the smelter and two
to three carloads of gypsum to the mill in
Reno daily, and this traffic is going to
increase, SO that it will require large
trains. This will necessitate having as
slight a grade as possible and good
road-bed, and the company is arranging
to have just such road. The grading
work to be started next week will EN-
ploy number of teams and men for two

SHELTER To START
ABOUT CHRISTMAS

General Manager LaBarthe states that
the new smelter, at Thompson, will be
ready to blow i'll about Christmas time,
or few days after. A large number of
carloads of coke have been received and
the material is III the bins. In the
neighborhood of two thousand tons of
copper ore are also in the ore bins, this
ore coming mainly from the Nevada
Douglas, but some of it from the south
ern country, near Luning, and some
from north of Reno The first furnace
will handle about 500 tons of ore per
day, and of this amount the Nevada
Douglas is hooked-up to furnish $50
tons per day, or 10000 tons per month.
The news that the smelter is so close
to operating is certainly good news for
this district. 1t will not only mean the
employment of many men at the Nevada
Douglas, the Mason Valley and the
smelter, but it will give numerous own
ers of small properties in the district
chance to have their ores worked at a
reasonable expense, and give them some
money to continue development work on
their properties.

.REYMERS RANCH
BRINGS BIG PRICE

Senator b. II. Reymers disposed OF
his home ranch near Yerington, this
week for the best price that has been
paid for ranch property i'll this section
The ranch consists of 320 acres of fine
land and the price paid was SIS, 500.
Herman Luhrs and II. +. Luhrs, of
Carson Valley, were the purchasers, Mr..
Luhrs having just disposed of his ranch
in Carson Valley for S55, 900. All but 20
or 80 acres of the Reymers ranch is un.
der cultivation and this side hill ground
will also be put i'll. The price paid av-
erages the land up at a little over $50
per acre, which is the highest price ever
paid here for land However, the ranch
is one of the best in the valley, and
worth the money. Mr.. Reymers still
owns 100 acres in another ranch, and his
selling the home ranch does not mean
that he is going to leave the country b,
any means. The purchase by Mr.. Luhrs
brings to our midst some good citizens
and practical, progressive farmers. who
will make a splendid home of their new
possession, and, likewise make some
money from it. 1t is the forerunner OF
other practical men coming into this
valley to do business in an agricultural
way. There is plenty of room for many
more, and 1t appears to the writer that
now is the time TO get here and invest.
Land will never be any cheaper in Ma
son Valley than it is today but will adj
vance i'll the next three or four years So
hat a ranch, such as just purchased by
Mr.. Luhrs. will be worth double the
money he paid for it. The sale wa,
practically a cash transaction and Mr.
Luhrs will take charge of his new pos
sessions on the first of next January.
