ORIGIN OF BARREL UNKNOWN
This Receptac for All Manner Of
Things Has Been Used Since
Time lnmemoriaI.

Nobody knows who invented the
barrel. 1t has been used since time
immemorial.
Barrels are used for all manner OF
articles, solid and liquid There are
barrels for holding sugar, salt, apples,
poNtoes and so on; for all sorts of
oils, from the heaviest lubricants to
the most volatile products Of petro-
leum; for beers, wines. and all sorts
of beverages. 1t is commended that
the barrel is the strongest structure
of its size that can be made from an
equal amount Of wood. Its contents
are frequently the strongest that can
be made from liquids.
The barrel has tremendous power
OF resistance to pressure from within
and from without barrel set on
end will. 1t is claimed support half
the weight OF a railway car while the
truck is taken from beneath for re-
pairs. Yet the primitive barrel Is put
together without nails screws. bolts.

The nine o'clock calls continued,
however, and several days later the
woman took central into her conf

"T have found out why wanted to

THE SHORTEST INAUGURAL

The first president was never
given to much speaking. His first
inaugural was, however, of aver
age length. This was delivered in
New York at the beginning of our
national life under the constitution,
and the occasion demanded more
extended utterance than the Father
IF His Country was won't to give.
The second inaugural delivered
four years later in Philadelphia,
was more in line with his custom
and was exceedingly brief, only:
1876 words long. in fact. 1t is be-
lieved to be the shortest ever
delivered by an elected president.
The address follows in full:
"Fellow Citiens--I am again call
ed upon by the voice of my country
to execute the functions of its
chief magistrate. When the occas-
ion proper for it shall arrive shall
endeavor to express the high sense
| entertain of this distinguished
honor and of confidence which has
been reposed in me BY the people
of united America.
Previous to the execution Of
any off cial act of the president the
constitution requires an oath of
office. This oath l am now about
to take and in your pres nee:
That if it shall be found during my
administration of the government
| have in any instance violated
willingly or knowingly the injunc-
tions there of l may (besides incur
ring constitutional punishment) be
subject to the upbraidings of all
who are now witnesses of the pre-
sent solumn ceremony"

GOVERNORS MESSAGE

Governor Oddie sent a message
of over 5000 words to the legisla-
ture in which he lays before the
members the actual condition of
the states finances and suggests
remedies for the ills that now
atflict us. Following are the
principle points in the message:
The state is entering upon
period of prosperity in both mines
and agriculture. The debt of the
state is to the state itself. and its
credit as state is not impaired.
The fundamental need today is
the revision of the system of
taxation. Next in Importance
comes the perfection of the govern.
mental system in the interests. OF
economy and efficiency. Retrench-
ment should be applied to city and
county government as much as to
the state government for waste
in city and county affects the in-
dividual taxpayer five times s
mucE In the state.
-, Steps looking toward a conven-
tion for the revision of the con-
stitution of Nevada four years
hence are advised. Other consti-
tutional amendments proposed in
clude: The investments of state
schoul funds in first mortgage loans
on farm realty amendment now
pending for investing school funds
in county bonds) increasing the
borrowing power of the state from
it's present low limit of 100000
imposing flexible limitation.
An amendment ratifyinR the
amendment for equal suffrage
originating IN the last session is
strongly urged. An amendment
is urged giving both parents joint
guardianship over children.
Provision for the care of
juvenile delinquents apart from
ordinary penal institutions and the
appointment of deputy superinten-
dents of instruction us county pro.
baton officers are urged.
The primary law is suggested
for consideration without recon-.
mendation. An Interpretation of
the election law is urged requiring
the counting of every ballot Cas-
where the intent of the voter is
clear.
A law requiring a years resi-
dence for divorce is advised.
Recommends law limiting tn
number of rounds in prize fight.
A non-partisan state board of
chart es and correction advised or
