Hartman and Hill Stocks Are Hard
Pressed.

New York, May 15.-Dealings in
stocks this week was marked by con-
siderable irregularity at times, the I'M
dertone approaching weakness. This
tendency was largely due to indica-
tions of liquidation by the interests
supposedly back of the recent rise.
Shares in which these operators have
been most active, namely, the hard
coalers, and some of the low priced
specialties, were among the weakest.
but pressure was persistently directed
against steel. the Hartman and Hill
issues and the grangers, the latter
profiting not at all by better crop
prospects.
Coppers held relatively steady on the
reduced foreign supply of the metal
and better home demand, while num-

Absorbs Skin, Chases
Wrinkles-Young Again

1.-The shock at beholding< myself in
the glass after nine long weeks abed,
nearly caused a relapse writes Emily
Colson in Home Queen. The faded
face, with its lines of illness and wor-
~, seemed thirty years older. Now,
WI thought, 1 could not attend my
chum's wedding, eleven days off, to
which I had looked hopefully for
ward.
"She herself came to my rescue.
She procured an ounce of mercolized
wax, which she babe me spread on
like cold cream, washing it off next
morning. Applied nightly, this appar-
emily absorbed the withered skin, SO
gently 1 experienced no discomfort.
Upon the wedding morn the pallid
complexion had entirely given way
to one of youthful color and lowell
ness.
And there wasn't a wrinkle. This
due to a wash lotion made by dis
solving an ounce of saxolite in a half
pint witch hazel. The daily face bath
had dispersed every line"

women regard as the most vital issue

stays so for several days, so the farm
ems can get into the fields and har-
row their lands thoroughly, and even
then I fear the. creek bottom lands
that the water got over will never
come Should they fail to get this
corn up and have to plant again, it
will be getting into April. Besides the
damage to the corn crop, the damage
by those heavy rains to the hill lands
of the county can never be estimated.
Besides this, there were thousands
of dollars worth of fertilizer that had
been put into this land that has been
leached out by the water until its
strength of plant food has been great
ly impaired.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you can tell 1t far
and wide that Brazos county has any
thing but favorable outlook for a
crop, Notwithstanding the farmers all
over the county had done more and
better work than had ever seen done
considerin, the weather in which they
have had 20 do it. l believe can
safely say for our Brazos county farm
ers that there is not a better, Drawer
and more progressive set of people in
all the world, and If anybody In Texas
makes crop this year Brazos county
farmers will, and although they are
forced to plant their corn the third
time, and in April at that, we will find
them with full cribs and fat hogs in
the fall.
In conclusion would urge my farm
err friends to harrow without ceasing
as soon as they can get into their
corn ground, and if the corn should
not come up, the work will not be lost,
as the land will be put in fine fix for
planting over. If you have a section
harrow so much the better. Hitch
teams enough to it to go straight
across, or diagonally across the rows
With full section harrow one man
and team can go over fifteen acres a
day. The good Lord knows exactly
what He is doing. You know enough
to do your duty. If you do your part
He's dead certain to do His. Plant
plenty of corn and other feedstuff
even if the season is late. feel that
we will make a good crop, and for the
reason the season is late we will make
the easiest crop we ever have made
after we get started.

THE HAT PIN LAW

he ladies of Elko should look
well to the length of their hat pins
or the officers of the law may get
them. For their benet we publish
TIE following from the Tonopah
Bonanza:
The law passed by the last legis-
latUre of this state makingGit a
misdemeanor for a person to wear
a hat pin, TIE point protruding
over a half inch beyond the crow n
of hat, is now upon the statutes
of Nevada. Should you disohey
this law and be arrested, you may
be sentenced in the county Jail for
a term of six long. dreary months.
or may pay fine Of $500. or the
cruel judge may impose both fine
and imprisonment so il behooves
the ladies TO look a little out"
The new law reads as follows:
No person shall, while upon
any public street or IN any public
conveyance, street car, train or
elevator, or in any other public
place, wear lat pin or similar
article, the exposed point of which
shall protrude more than one-half
inch beyond the crown or other
portion Of the hat upon, in or
through which such pin or similar
article is worn, unless said exposed
point Of the hat pin or other
similar article ahall be so guarded
by device or otherwise as to
render contact with it entirely
free from danger Any person
violating any of the provisions Of
this act is guilty of a mis-
demsanor."
The act. hur.ever, does not apply
to the wearing of long hat pins
at social gatherings, pink teas, at
homes or private functions, and
will be enforced only when ladies
venture on the public streets or
street cars or other public places.
A similar law has been passed in
a number Of the large eastern
cities, and it has been vigorously
enforced. In many of the larger
cities serious accidents have re-
suited from the sharp pointed
hat pins which were allowed to
protrude to the extent of several
inches from the hat crown. and in
numerous cases the loss of an eye
has been reported.

CENSUS BUREAU GIVES
EARLY NEVADA HISTORY

In bulletin recently issued by
the Census Bureau some interest
ing facts are given out by the
Census Director. In speaking of
the history of Nevada, the bulletin
in a note, says that Nevada is d
Spanish word, signfying snowclad
or white. as snow. The first white
man who ever came to Nevada was
probably Frances Cares, a Franci-
can friar, who passed through
southern Nevada in 1875 on his way
to Sonora, Cal. Other friars fol-
lowed him, but no settlements
wer made at that time.
In 1926 the Humboldt river
was dicovered by Peter S. Ogden
of the Hudson Bay company and
in 1889 trading post was
established at Genoa. Although
settlements grew up in Nevada at
that time, there was never much
of a population until the discovery
Of the Comstock lode in 1859.
