CARSON, Feb 24.-The senate pass
ed bill authorizing a state loan of
100000. A similar bill, introduced in
the house, was referred to the ways
and means committee, with instruc-
tions to confer with the senate and
report Monday.
The house ways and means commit
tee will request Governor Oddie to SUBJ
init message, asking for retrench
ment in the state offices.
Both branches of the state legisla-
ture opened yesterday promptly at
noon. The same organization was eff
fected as at the regular session year
ago. In both houses all attaches not
present were dropped from the roll
and their places will remain vacant.
The governor message was read
and copies placed ON the desks of the
members.
Governor s Message-State of Neva-
da, Executive Department, Carson
City, Feb. 23, 1912.
To the Honorable, the Senate and the
Assembly:
Pursuant to section of article 5 of
the constitution, | have convened your
honorable bodies in extraordinary
session, the purpose of which is to en-
act suitable legislation to relieve the
following condition in the fiscal affairs
of the state, namely: That the gener-
al fund in the state treasury is ex-
hausted and that, to enable the state
to transact its business ON cash
basis, provision must be made by the
legislature to borrow a sum sufficient
to meet the emergency until such time
as the state revenues can be adjusted
to balance expenditures.
The borrowing power of the state,
in time of peace, is limited, under the
constitution, to 100000. At the be-
ginning of the present fiscal year our
outstanding Indebtedness, under this
limitation, was $4,000, with cash in
the state treasury applicable to the re
ductlon thereof to a net indebtedness
of SOL ,l51.27. On such date there was
ay ailable for investment in the state
school fund, 1886, ,22O.52, SO that the
state in effect will be able to borrow
from itself.
The fact that the state, in 1903,
1905 and 1907, to go back no farther
in our history, exercised it's borrowing
power to cover, in advance, deficits in
our state revenue over authorized ex-
penditures, leaves the present emerg
ency by no means anomalous in our
fiscal affairs save that it was not pro-
vided for in advance
The failure to make advance pro-
vision for this depletion of the gen
eral fund is not properly chargable
against the legislature or myself, ow
ing to the extreme difficulty of arriv-
ing at any clear understanding of the
financial affairs of the state from the
time-honored system of bookkeeping
that has obtained in our state govern.
ment since its beginning. Nor is any
state official justly blamable for not
introducing innovations in a system
that has always prevailed. Neverthe
less, am convinced that the financial
condition of the state should not be
left mystery which must be worked
out on the principle of the solution of
a puzzle.
The following table shows the net
balances in the state treasury at the
beginning of each of the last four

At one of the other audiences it
is believed that de Cana told
Knox that his government looks
upon the 100000 bags oflcoffee in
storage in New York as the prop
erty of the Brazilian government.
District Attorney Wise of New
York has asked that the Circuit
Federal Court there seize the cof-
fee on the ground that It is held
in restraint of trade.
Under de Gama's protest, to do
so would be to seize the property
of Brazil, which the Brazilian
government could regard only as
an unfriendly act.
President Taft has ordered all
the papers insthe case in the hands
of the Department of Justice tobe
sent to the State Department, but
at the State Department today IT
was said that the proceedings in

would go on today without any

For ages, more or less, these institutions have met in yearly combat at the wickets and fought for supremacy in England's national game.

WILTON WOMEN WORK HARD FOR
 EQUAL FRANCHISE
Special to The Farmer1

 Wilton, July S-The equal franchise movement received a big boost on Sat urday in Wilton and the members of the league ! in sthat town are justly elated over the success of the auction sale and rally given on the lawn at the handsome residence of Mrs. B. G. H. Scheflk The affair was unique in the variety of articles which were offered for. sale and the eagerness with which they were bid off. Crowds of people came and went during the af- ternoon and evening. A conservative estimate places the number at 800 at one time.
 Tn the afternoon there was speaking by Mrs. H. H. Knox of New Canaan, national secretary of the Equal Fran chise League; Mrs. A. L. Livermore of Bedding Ridge, Mrs. D. $. Pinneo of Norwalk. The talented daughter of Congressman Hill made a telling speech, putting. to route the antis and converting by her arguments man who has been prominent as an oppon- ent to votes for women. Novel sign boards and executed by an artist member of the. Wilton league, guided people from Norwalk to the grounds. Booths were devoted to the sale of antiques, vegetables, fancy articles and a variety of different articles pre- scented to the league A, pair of spring pigs were prizes eagerly sought by members of the New York colony who have summer places here.
 The handsome grounds were further beautified by decorations and Japan csc lanterns dotted the lawns in the evening. An orchestra was stationed on the lawn and after the sale there was dancing on the greensward by the enthusiastic young people The treas ury of the local league will be greatly augmented by the affair.

smaller than the side of a barn-takes his place in front of the wicket, which is se a three-legged affair twenty-seven inches high, with a small bot of wood called bail on top.
 The bowler winds up, something like a baseball pitcher, and sends small leather-covered ball toward the wicket. He is not permitted to throw directly at the wicket, however. but the ball must hit the ground in front and get the wicket on the bounce, the object of the bowler being to hit. the legs of the wicket and dasplace the bail. The betsman's purpose is to swat the ball in any manner that will, protect the wicket. The batter makes a score by chasing himself to another wicket sixty-six feet distant and touching a chaIk-line with his club before the ball is fielded in. But the batter doesn't have to run until he has made a hit that suits him. The longest hit that can be made counts four runs, and Is equivalent to a homer. A real good batter may score hum dred or more runs during the progress of one match. which makes Cobb or Wagner look like thirty cents Cricket is almost. exclusively a batter's game, and he has all the best, of 1t, The poor bowler, Or pitcher, has to toll like Trojan against tremendous odds. and he gets little applause for his pains

Turner Had His Way.

The late J. NJ. W.

Turner took 1t into his hands and examined it this way and that "A fine work" !" he exclaimed tt1t must be hung up and exhibited
 Impossible" responded the other members of the committee. '.The walls are full and the arrangements cannot be disturbed
 "A fine work" repeated Turner. t'It must be hung up and exhibited" And finding his colleagues to be as obst1 nate as himself, he hitched down one of his own pictures and hung up Birds in it's place.-Oscar Frichet in National Magazine
