AN ATTRACTION FOR FALLOh
Clark's Temple Theatre Has
Secured an Excellent Troupe
For Patrons.

Through the efforts of w. D. Clark,
the people of Fallon and vicinity will
be afforded the opportunity of seeing a
company of nine reor'a in high class
drama. The Moore lt.s Stock Com
pany of Salt Lake City Y open a
three-nights engagement, friday, Sat
urday and Sunday, commencing May
18th at TIE Temple theatre. W. D..
Clark s untiring efforts to secure a com
pany of this kind deserve special men
ton, and also merit the patronage of
the people of Fallon The opening
play entitled the Red Cross Nurse, is a
powerful drama of modern times
Don't miss it. May II; Temple theatre
OF this company the Sewer Sun says:
The Moore Either company was the all
overpowering attraction at the local
play house on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights of last week Each
night the sign, Standing room only, :"
was conspicuously displayed, and each
night it wG5 ar ovation for the COM
pany.
1t is just as we'll to say. right here,
that the Moore-Ethier players are the
footlight favorites in Richfield. Other
companies may come and go and be
forgotten, but there is a warm spot in
the heart OF every Richfeld theatre
goer for Frederick Moore, Pearl Either
and the high-class artists who make
perfection the ensemble of the company.
The Moore-Ethier engagement opened
here last Thursday night with that
delicious old drama which never grows
old" East Lynne" Never before was
there seen here finer portrayal of the
lights and shadows in this English
classic, and it was played in manner
that gave unbounded satisfaction.
Friday evening there was played for
the first time here a beautiful heart
story entitled THE Tie That Binds. ."
1t was dainty production, punctuated
with pathos and frightened by comedy.
Tie engagement concluded Saturday
night with the screaming comedy,
"When Wives are Away" delightful
rendition of ludicrous mixups and start
ling denouements. 1t kept the audience
In rare good humor and was jolly
finale to the engagement.
The Moore Either Company can
always do business in Richfield. The
name is a household WORD here, and "a
big audience is assured when it is an
nounced that the company is headed
this way. Sewer, Utah Sun.

Democrats Bestir Themselves.

The Democrats of the county are ex-
tremely busy these days preparing for
the primary and general election cam
paigns that will be on US before we
know it. Recently a number of active
workers of the county met at Attorney
T. c. Hart's office and decided upon
certain plans to govern the immediate
future. The matter of properly enter
taining the visiting Democrats on June
3rd. on which date the Democratic state
convention convenes here, was taken
up. and with little effort nearly $500
was raised to provide certain features
for convention members. w. w. San
ford acted as chairman. The committee
that was so markedly successful in
gathering in the filthy lucre consisted
of r. l.. Douglass, Thomas Dolf and
l.. w. Balm.
The committee on accommodations IS
composed of the following: Fulton II.
Sears. f. M. Wightman and L. &.
Hart. The committee on entertainment
ISL. w. Sitton, j. w. Richards and
Z. S. Hartman.

MATRIMONIAL CHICAGO GIRLS
Would Hook Up With Our
Love-sick Farmer
Boys.

Fulton II. Sears, president of the
National Water Users Association,
while sojourning in Chicago, caused to
be published in Chicago paper a plea
for the lovesick swains of this project,
pointing out their great virtues, the
salubrity of the climate and the gener-
al all around desirability of local envir-
ons, and as a result his law Offices in
the windy city were flooded with COM
munications from Chicago ladies willing
TO surrender their independence. Some
thing like thousand communications
reached Mr.. Sears, and for time was
compelled to add matrimonial depart
ment to his law offices. In many in
stances photos were inclosed, some of
which were left by Mr.. Sears at this
office. A glance at the ikenesses is
quite sufficient TO force the conclusion
that the rubes of the city, male or fe-
male, have the rubes of the country
beat forty different ways for real rube-
ness. The following is fair sample
of the letters that were directed to Mr..
Sears:
LoNEsoMELAND, December 2, 1911.
Mr.. FULTON II. SEARS, of Fallon, Ne
vada, President of National Water
Users Assn, Hotel Sherman.
DEAR Mr.. SEARS:
We trust you will pardon the liberty
we take in addressing you, but we too
are desrous of taking unto ourselves a
mate, and beg to submit our applica-
tions. We are comeIy, well bred, up
to-date young business girls of various
occupations, who have grown tired,
very, very tired of the big, cold, lonely
city, and long for the freedom of the
western country-and the l-o-v-e of a
western man.
If you know of any that would care
to communicate with US, Mr.. Sears, we
shall be waiting in anxious anticipation,
and the glad tidings will reach US if
addressed to J. r. Harding, General
Delivery, Chicago.

JUDGE BEN. COLEMAN REPLIES
Says The Standard Miscon-
strued His Motive In Re-
cent Criticism.
Ely, Nevada, May 11th, 1917

Ely, Nevada, May 11th, 1912
Editor Churchill County Standard,
Fallon, New.
Dear Sir:
A copy of your paper of the 1st inst.
in which you criticize me for display
of over enthusiasm, as you see it, in ar
effort to procure the passage of Cor,
rupt Practice Act, has just been handed
to me. If | am guilty of the imputa
tion | am sure it is in behalf of gooC
cause and when one is laboring to pro-
mote good government a certain
amount of over enthusiasm should be
excused. But, Mr.. Editor, if my eff
forts will result in good am willing tC
be criticized; yet, | do not deem il
proper for me to ignore your criticism
Your readers might think that | am
seeking cheap notoriety. My efforts
are directed towards stamping out the
pernicious methods of campaigning for
office as heretofore INDUCED in because
of stern facts which have been brought
to my attention. These practices made
defaulter and an absconder of a cap
able, worthy young man in our county,
and one who had a host of friends.
While holding one of the principal off,
ces in the county in 1910 he became q
candidate for reelection. He knew
that a great deal of money was pitted
against him. To be reelected it was
necessary that ne spend money freely.
He did SO without limiting his expendi-
lures to his own bank account. He used
the money of the county, thinking no
doubt, that he could make good when
the time came. He was called to ac-
count. He could not realize the neces-
sary FUNDS. He became fugitive from
justice leaving wife and child in des-
titute circumstances. His aged mother
was sick at the time he left and grow
ing worse she called for her favorite
son. There was no son to respond. Ex-
cuses had to be made. Finally she re-
covered to learn the truth. To-day she
is broken hearted. This circumstance,
and others, caused me to dedicate my
life to the cause of Corrupt Practice
Act. If my energies are misdirected l
trust that some good person will show
me wherein | am wrong. Perhaps you
will be kind enough to do it, Mr.. Editor.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if in my enthusiasm
for the cause, have offended you,
hope you will attribute it to the motive
which has animated me. | hope you
will favor me by publishing this letter.
Very sincerely, BEN. w. COLEMAN.

Butter War Continues.

The Fallon Creamery butter continues
in favor both locally and elsewhere des.
pite the strenuous efforts of /. II. Kent,
of the Kent store, to supplant 1t with
an imported product, made by the Swift
corporation, which is inferior in every
respect. The manager of this estab-
lishment is the only store keeper in
town who owns stock in the creamery
company, and il is noteworthy that he
was the first and only one of the towns
tradesmen TO taboo the local creamery
butter. His reasons probably are
known to himself, but they cannot be
public spirited ones. He apparently
overlooks the fact that though the
quality of the local butter precludes
him from making the margin of profit
that goes with selling imported makes,
that every dollar paid for butter pro-
duced by the local creamery from cream
produced by the valley farmers, is a
dollar saved to the community. Fig
ured from an economic viewpoint, this
is a point we'll worth considering, for it
is a dollar saved to local trade channels
which in its rounds would find its way
into his Golfers as result of the sale
of other goods, upon which he at least
makes fair profits. And aside from
this, he was making the same profit as
all other local butter dealers.
But as is usual in such cases, his
short sighted action brought results
wholly unantieipated. Many of the
store patrons demanded local butter,
and being unable to fill the orders the
store manager made a demand upon the
creamery for its butter, which was
rightly refused. The Kent store now
finds itself in the peculiar position of
being unable to handle the local butter
for its particular customers. In the
meantime the creamery finds its daily
output growing and its butter sales
keeping pace.

Piute Girl Wanted Her Photo.

This is story that for obvious reas-
ons we'll say concerns Bill, local bus
mess man and Sallie, comely Piute
squaw. Now Bill IN an unguarded
moment snapped Sallie's likeness with
his kodak and further in moment of
generosity that followed, he promised
the petite little aborigine a picture.
Now, of course, he didn't figure when
he made his offer that the mahala would
be on deck for the fulfillment of the
promise. But she was. And what was
worse, Bills girl was there, too. And
that she was terribly shocked when he
was interrogated about the picture
goes without saying, for the query
came in about this wise: SHAY, whash
matter with you? You hide from me
all the time when | come in your place
after my picher. You heap funny
man.
. Now, Bill is wiser young man. He
has forsworn Indian pictures and in the
meanwhile his tongue has been a busy
organ for he has worked it sore trying
to explain.

A FALL0N BOY Ex-
CORIATES TAFT.
636 East University Ave.

636 East University Ave-,
Ann Arbor, Mich, May 8, 1912.
Editor of the Standard,
Fallon, Nevada.
Dear Sir:
AS former resident of the state and
community, and one vitally interested
in its welfare, will you kindly allow me
the courtesy of few lines in your val
ued paper.
The Information was recently flashed
across the country that Nevada's six
delegates had been instructed for Pres
ident Taft. 1t is indeed difficult to un-
derstand how such an action could take
place in that section of the country and
that state in particular, where honesty,
deep conviction, and fearlessness, are
especially supposed to be admired and
upheld.
If the action of the county conven-
tions in sending Taft supporters to Fall
Ion, was meant to be a slap at certain
high state officials who are known to
favor Roosevelt, it was child's play. If
IT was taken at the demand of a cer-
tain few who desire their already fat
pocket-books TO grow fatter through
the operation of high tariff, it was das-
tardly. If it was taken with the idea
that they were instructing for our next
president, it was the height of asinini-
ty; for it requires no great political ac-
umen these days to be able to read the
handwriting on the wall, and realize
that every Taft vote in the National
Convention is nail in the coffin of the
Republican Party.
For the great mass of Republican
voters have come to the point where
their self-respect will allow them to do
