PEOPLE AND THINGS


The gambling must be good for
cOrn-fed gamblers on the Chicago
Board Of Trade these droughty days.
The labor leader who gets his mug
in Hearst's Examiner nowadays may
have trouble later on proving an alibi.
Those Cubs must have filled up
on Boston baked beans or homeless
Goldfish before going out to the Bos-
ton baseball park yesterday.
Now let's forget that suffrage edi-
ton. The women who fell for the
deal with Hearst had good intentions,
but made a mistake.
If they profit by their mistake, we'll
and good. For then they won't be
fooled so easily next time by cum
ming politicians.
Another fight Hearst is going to
lose is his fight to plunge this cOun-
try into war with Mexico to help
Huerta and the Hearst millionaire
Mexican ranch.
And still another losing fight is his
war on organized labor in Chicago.
This doesn't appear to be Willie'3
year.
Even Herm KohIsaat is rapping
the Yellow Kid over the knuckles,
and old Vic Lawson is chuckling up
his sleeve at the jam he has got
Hearst in in Chicago.
Some silly Democratic senators,
headed by Simmons, have put a tariff
duty on bananas. AS they don't
grow in this country, why protect
them? It only increases the cost to
consumers.
And still we can't understand how
a labor leader who isn't a capitalist
can wear big diamonds.
Why should Uncle Sam make Eu-
ropean countries sore by granting
special privileges on the Panama
canal to a coastwise shipping trust
controlled by the transcOntinental
railways?

. COMMENT ON


Now. they're getting after smoke
inspectors for accepting gifts,
but
Wonder if anybody will think Of
getting after the big business con-
Germs that did the "gifting"?
Any business man, firm or cor
poration that gave gifts" to smoke
Inspector, or stood for a hold-up, was
buying the special privilege Of Vio-
Iating the law that honest individuals
and business concerns had to obey.
And any such individual or con-
Germ is more guilty than the inspec-
tor. Get after the big fellows.
It's cruel to say it, but the dis
agreeable truth must be told. Listen.
Many of the Mortified women who
protest with such righteous indigna-
ton against modern dancing are the
ones most men would pass by when
hunting partners for the next dance.
And the men who rant and rave
either are too old to dance or haven't
enough red blood in their veins to
want TO.
In the meantime, the young folks
are going to dance about as they
darned please. So what's the use?
All the same we'd 60 miles to see
Arthur BUrTage Farwen do the
tango.
Marshall Fields made in Chi
cago" window display is punk.
Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co.'S ex-
hibit beats it four ways from the
jack.
We suggest that Jimmie Simpson
be put in the Marshall Field window
as Exhibit A.
And Sears-RoebUck might put
few smoke inspectors on exhibition,
together with the justly celebrated
Sears-Roebuck shoes the inspectors
wear when not seeing Sears-Roebuck
smoke.

Three Mountain
Lions Seen
At Buckeye

Richard Raycraft, one of the own
ers of the Buckeye placer mines, re-
turned last week from a visit to the
property and brings the report that
three full grown mountain lions have
taken up their winter quarters in
that locality. About nile and a
quarter from the mine there is a
heavy growth of timber and it is
here where the lions have been seen
by different ones of late.
As long as the lions remain in that
section sheepmen who Craze their
herds in the Pine Nut hills may ex-
pect loss through this source.
Last year mountain lions attacked
young Fstock in Lake Valley and
causes considerable loss to stock
men. Never before have the beasts
in so close in as Buckeye
and no doubt some of the crack
rifle shots could get some exciting
shooting without going far to get it.

Douglas Wins

A large crowd was out Wednes-
day evening to witness the basket
ball game played here between the
Carson High school team and the
Douglas High. From the first blow
of the whistle it was evident that
Douglas would win and outclassed
the visitors in every stage of the
game. At the end of the first half
the score stood 4-23 in favor of the
home team. The second half was
played with the dash shown at the
beginning. but was fast enough to
make things interesting and several
clever plays were executed. When
the game ended the score stood
l245 in favor of Douglas.
The game was a clean one from
start to finish and the Carson boys
took their defeat like true sports
men.

Be Held
At Genoa

While other towns in the Valley
have been holding dances right a
long, Genoa has decided that the
next dance belongs te her and ar
rangements have been formulated
to give Christmas dance at Ray
crafts Hall on Friday evening, De-
cember 19th.
The supper for this dance will be
given at Raycraft'f hotel and no
further recommendations are ne
cessary. However, it is announced
that the supper will be equal to any
banquet ever served at this famous
hotel. When making. arrangements
for the supper the management
made it known that the present high
cost of things prohibited them from
giving a dance supper of the Ray
craft standard for so cents and they
objected to lowering the standard
to conform to that price. So it was
quickly agreed to make the supper
rs cents. This will not be cold
lunch but will be supper better
than you could buy at any cafe at

occasion.
This will be the only BIZ dlnc
that will be held at Genoa thi
winter and you cannot afford to

Relative to the Beet-Sugar Industry
in Nevada, and urging the people of
the State to aid, support, and en-
courage such Industry by becoming
Consumers of Nevada Sugar.
Whereas, in pursuance of the fol-
lowing communication:
Carson City, Nov. 10, 1913
Hon. Tasker l.. Oddie.
Governor of Nevada.
Sir; An investigation by this
First That the beet-sugar in
dustry can be made one Of the chief
factors in the agricultural develop
ment of the state if given support
and encouragement, at this crucial
time, by our people;
Second the failure of the.
enterprise, on the other hand, will
give Nevada an agricultural set
back. since such failure would be
attributed by the outside world as
due to deficient soil and climatic
conditions, and which would react
on all other lines of agricultural
upbuilding; and;
Third That the success of the
enterprise, today, rests with the
people of Nevada as whole, to
give this initial enterprise of great
prospective Nevada industry, now
struggling for success, the benefit
of the local markets. In other
words, that the patriotic and public
spirited people of Nevada give pre-
ference, as sugar consumers, to
that grown and refined in the State
until we get our sugar industry
firmly established. If Nevada peo-
ple insist on Nevada sugar which
is as good as the best-all stores
will be glad to handle it and the
needed local market secured.

MIR. and Mrs. | Heimsoth
Celebrate Golden
Wedding

To travel life's rugged path for
half a century, hand in hand with
the girl you led to the marriage
alter, is the wish and ambition of
every young person happily wed.
Obstacles placed in the long lane of
time, brings many disappointments,
and golden wishes of youth are not
frequently granted.
Fifty years ago on the 22nd of
this month, at Hanover, Germany,
Dietrick Heimsoth claimed his
bride. Shortly after their marriage
they sailed for America. In the
new country they struggled and
saved and finally settled on a ranch
just across the line in California.
Children came to bless their home
and as they grew to mans estate
some of them set out for themselves
ia other states. Half a century of
their married life was completed
last saturday and their children
and grandchildren were summoned
home to attend the Golden Wedding
which was celebrated at their Fred
ericksburg home. With them,
were invited close friends of the
family. Rev. Menzel of the Luther
an Church, was present and officiat-

licious ones too. were baked by Mr..
Starke and decorated by j. Heugel.
The following members of the
family were present: Henry Helm
soth and family of Idaho, VIM.

Shows of time have leftits silvery
tinge upon the brows of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dietrich Heimsoth but time
has not dimmed the light of love
that has burned in their breasts for
over fifty long years. Their devo-
lion is divine and will continue so
until the golden ties of their peace

That some possible method of ad-
justment has presented itself seems
certain and now the tax payers are
urged to meet and discuss the prob

FOR WEAR ON CAR OR BOAT
Crepe de Chine Dressing Gown ls the
Most Practical Garment for

The most serviceable and durable
dressing gown for the traveller Is made
of some dark, inconspicuous. untrans-
parent material.
Crepe de chine is ideal for summer
wear. A dressing gown Of this ma
terial in a dark color can be worn
comfortably for months. It does not
show oil easily, and when it is soiled
it can be easily washed and will look
as well after trip to the laundry as
before. A dark gown, besides the
fact that it will not show soil SO
quickly as a light one, can be COM
fortably worn on the way to the bath
on shipboard and in the corridors OF
hotel or pension.
A gown Of dark blue crepe de chine
could be made with a little V-shaped
vest Of gathered cream or ecru net and
with net undersleeves, or a ribbon
sash in gay colors and futurist design
could be used to give the somber gown
a more interesting character.

results secured by spraying by the

such treatment.
This department advises that grow
