catch the ledge in the Tonopah Merger
property yesterday at Tonopah, miners
cut a four-inch stringer which runs
$1400 to the ton. Today the ledge was
caught and the Tonopah Merger looks
like another Belmont. The greatest
excitement prevails in the camp since
the days of Tonopah's famous activi
ties several years ago, and holders OF
the stock have made fortunes over
night.
Many of the men working in the
mine have been purchasing the stock
and their interest is intensified by
this fact, and the work has been
rushed forward with great speed. This
fact alone indicates the condition OF
ore found below the surface. when the
miners themselves made an effort to
secure all the stock they can afford
and succeed in getting

De Laval Cream Separators excel
other separators not only in thorough
ness of separation, sanitary cleanli,
ness, ease Of running and durability
but as we'll in their great simplicity.
There is nothing about the opera,
ton, cleaning, adjustment or repair OF
modern De Laval Cream Separator
which requires expert knowledge or
special tools.
Nor are there any parts of which
adjustment is frequently necessary to
maintain good running or to conform
to varying conditions in the everyday
use of cream separator.
There is no need to fit and adjust
parts to get them together right. They
are so made that they cannot help go
together right. All bearings and bush.
ings are easy to replace. There are
no complicated springs, eys, ball bear
ings or other fittings, that only an
expert can properly adjust.
A person who has never touched a
separator before can, if need be, un'
assemble a modern De Laval machine
down to the last part within a few
minutes and then reassemble it again
as quickly. This is something which
cannot be done outside shop with
any other separator.
The only way to properly understand
and appreciate De Laval superiority to
other separators is to look over, and
better still to try, a 1912 De Laval
machine. Every De Laval agent is
glad to afford prospective buyers the
opportunity to see and try De Laval
Separator.

OF course baseball isn't much of a

makes politics dear issue, that su-

DIR. GUY l.. MOVES.

There is no class of professional
or business men who are any buster
than physicians, but many of them
take time for other things. such as
aiding in social welfare and belong
ing to public spirited clubs. Such
man is DR.. Guy l.. Noyes.
Doctor Noyes has been in Columbia
ten years, and for five years has been
the superintendent of Parker Me
mortal Hospital. He was born in
Boston and received his education al
Harvard and at the Universities of
Vermont and Michigan. He worked
in the Long Island Hospital at Bos-
ton HarbOr, the Mary Fletcher Hos
pital at Burlington. VT, and was at
tending physician at the University
Hospital at Ann ArbOr, Mich. besides
being demOnstrator of Ophthalmalic
and aural Surgery for two years at
the Jniyt rsity of Michigan.
Doctor NOyes now occupies The
chair of diseases of the eye and ear in

two years has had charge of the mel!

Doctor Moves is president of the
Columbia Club, a member of the Har-
ward Club, of Nh Sigma Nh of the
University of Michigan. and of Sigma
Nj an honorary scientific fraternity

also member of the American Aca-
DENY of OphthalmOlOgy, the Amer

Boone County Medical Association.
He is first lieutenant of the Medical
Reserve Corps of the United States
Army. He belongs to the Universal
Church but goes to the Episcopal
Church in Columbia.
Doctor Noyes is fond of horses and
Ii has often been said that most ply
sicians like to read Dickens Per-
haps this is true because of the COM

and the nOvelist-bOth are keen
Judges of human nature Doctor
Noyes is no exception in his prefer
ence for Dickens.
In his relations with his fellows. he
has always displayed genial. kind

ability to tell a funny story. He
loves hot biscuits-the big. puffy
kind-and does not believe they are
harmful.

THE VALUE OF COURTESY.

The appointment by the Illinois
Central Rail" ,ad of retired major
of the United States army as Master
of Manners is distinctive mark of
the beginning of the end of the old
days in railroading. Time was when
the corporations strove to make the
dear public feel its insignificance.
and corporation employees were mas
ters of incivility.
tions have learned that it pays to be
polite. Friends are better than enc
mics. and there is no better way to
make friends than by courteous
friendliness and interest in the well
fare of the people with whom We
deal.
The duty of the new Master of
Manners is to travel over the Illinois
Central Railroad and give pointers to
the grouches and those uncouth in
dealing with travellers. Ii this eX-
pertinent results as its sponsors hope.
it will undoubtedly be taken up by
public service corporations every
where.
Courtesy is a large asset for cor
poratiOnS Ii is none the less val
liable for individuals in private life.
Nothing else pays so we'll and costs
so little as good manners, and moth
ing so brightens the world and makes
individual intercourse. SO pleasant as
Kindness.

THE woman of Tomorrow" says
Prof. Charles Zueblin. the sOciOlO-
gist. in his Introduction to William
Hard's book. THE Woman of TOmOr-
man of yesterday in femininity or
physique or capacity in her charm
for men. or her love of children. but
in the response of her eternally fem
mime nature to a changed environ
ment. The environment is bound to
alter the superficial characteristics
of woman as every change has done.
Man. in his turn. will be a benefic-
iary of this new wOmanliness as he
has been the ready victim of the old
womanliness.
THE Woman of Tomorrow" is
made up of five chapters which orig
inally appeared in one of the well
known magazines. Their titles are:
Love Deferred" Learning for
Earning" Learning for Spending. ="
The Waters" and Mothers of the
World" Mr. Hard has interpreted
SO that all may understand the situ-
alton faced by women oday. In the
words of Prof. Zueblin. THE reader
will find in this book a dramatic
picture of the gap between girlhoOd
and motherhood which causes both
girls and men to go wrong and it can
only be filled adequately by work. l"
The subjects have been treated with
a sympathy and humor that will en-
dear the book to all who read it.
