Religion, in it's outward manifestation
at least, occupies large space in the
life of the Russian. The palaces of

Peasants Becoming Artisans.
The Russian peasant-muzhik-
with the coming of the factory, has, in
many sections Of the empire, become
peasant-artisan. He works on the
farm part of the year and in the fac
tory in the town at other times. Often
he leaves the farm to the women, old
men and boys, and spends practically
the entire twelve months at the fac
tory, only visiting his farm home at
long intervals. Russian manufacture
ing began with the iron foun-
dries which were designed to make
canncn and other munitions of war.
1t was soon extended to include the
manufacture OF wooden goods, cotton
goods and, latterly, all the products
employed IN western civilization. For
eign capital at first largely dominant
in all Russian manufacturing, has
been gradually succeeded by Russian
capital. Most Of the great factories
arc now owned and operated entirely
by Russians. The development of the
factory. by creating necessity for
more workmen in the cities and fac
tory districts, has caused a change in
the farm conditions This result was
accompanied by certain changes In the

This is my creed: To do some good.
To bear my ills without complaining.
To press on as a brave man should
For honors that are worth the gaining
To seek 10 profits where 1 may
By winning them bring grief to others.
To do some service day by day
In helping on my toiling brothers.
This is my creed To close my eyes
To little faults of those around me:
TO strive to be when each day dies
Some better than the morning found
me;
To ask no unearned applause.
To cross no river TIL / reach 1t;
To always have q worthy cause,
To fearlessly and fairly preach 1t.
This is my creed: To wisely shun
The sloughs in which the foolish wal

To lead where / may be the one
Whom weaker men should choose to

To keep my standards always high,
To find my task and bravely do 1t;

Could even live half way up to 1t.

How honor may be guarded. how sweet

That man is still failure who. having

Imparts no glad emotions to those who

Ora Weston, aged 26 years, a

year, was electrocuted on level No.

at about l :45 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, says the Fallon Standard. His
task of mine motorman, whereby
he handled electrically operated
ore cars, necessitated his presence
about the wires in thc r,i;.c work
ings, which carry 440 volts. No
one saw the fatal shock inflicted
but when found q few minutes fol-
lowing the accident which resulted
in instant death, it was apparent
that in working about his task and
in an unguarded moment, the
back oI his neck had touched live
wire. Undertaken w. F. Kaiser

and it is being kept here pending
the receipt nf word from relatives
in Colorado regarding its DISPOSE
tion. This death is the second in

from electrocut!un, a similarly fatal
accident occurring in the mine
about a year ago.

MRS. |. {. MORGAN

After an illness Of over a year,
Mrs. L. z. Morgan passed peace
fully away at 2:30 o'clock thia
morning. The coming Of the Mes
senRer was to her a sweet release
from pain and suffering.
Mrs. Morgan was born at New
Melford. Connecticut, November
27, 1897, and lacked 3 months and
6 days of reaching her 77th year.
In 1869, she came to Elko and this
has been her home. Coming from
hardy New England stock, she
stood the Inconvenience and priva-
tions of the early settlers with
fortitude. 1t might be sal of her
that she was part Of the state.
Mrs. Morgan WAS essentially
home woman. Her home was her
kingdom and there she ruled with
all the grace and sweetness Of a
queen. Though she did not mingle
in society, she enjoyed the rom-
pany of friends and always had a
CHEEKY word and smile for those
who visited her.
The last year Of her life she was
an invalid. During those weary
days and nights of suffering she
had the constant care and atten-
ton of her husband, now 80 years
of age. While her death leaycs
him to travel the remainder of his
Hfe's iournes alone, he would not
bring her back to suffer as she
suffered for the past year.
A son, Frank Cogswell, residing
here, beside her aged husband
mourn her lass. Back in the town
Of her birth are others who were
bound to her by the ties of blood.
They, too, are bcrcft. May God
in his infinite goodness, comfort
and console those who mourn.
The funeral will take place from
Kcyser's chapel tomorrow after
noon at 3 o'clock. Friends and ac-
quaintances are respectfully re-
qucstGd to attend.

MAY SAVE THE MONEY

There is a rumnr circulating
around the city in political circles
that the cards have been shuffled
and there is to be new deal in the
Panama-Pacific Fair insofar as Ne
vada is concerned and that there
will be no Nevada exhibit. The
majority of the committee is scurry-
ing around trying to have meet
ing called and end the matter. The
plan, if carried out. is to pay all
the Indebtedness SO tar accrued and
call the fair off, giving as a reason
the war in Europe and the nncer-
tainty Of the financial market to-
gether with the fear that the ex-
hibition will be failure. The
truth Gf the matter is that the fair
scheme has met with such disfavor
in the state and has been handled
in such n way that tha people are
universally opposed to the expendi-
ture Of the large amount of money
and those men seeking political
preferment, who are at the head Of
the fair are jeopardising their own
interests by allowing the fair to
continue. Thatcher and Ross are
at the head Of the fair as the demo-
cratic members. Kendall end Mills
and Mighels are employees of the
board and the three were members
of the Legislature which passed the
bill. The bills accrued by these
representatives with their expenses
and salary accounts have been held
up the by State Controller as being
illegal and so far no attempt has
been made to take the bills tn a
higher body for determination as
to their legality. II is further
more probable that they never will
be and the only way they can be
paid is for some agreement to be
made whereby the fyir matter is

In the face of terror that would

grim reflection over here in the
rapidly advancing prices for the

think for a brief moment of the

then-the men and newspapers that
we're shouting for var with the
Mexicans. They sneered at the
policy of "watchful waiting"

not stampeded into fighting. He
was determined to keep the peace
OF this continent, and he did it.
Is there sane man or woman in
these United States today who is
sorry for it?
Docs even the most rabid jingo
like 10 think what would be the
condition of affairs here if added
to the general tumult and disturb
ance over the war in Europe, there
were a war of our own costing q

TRUE FARM FACTS

BY Peter Radford, National Lee
turer, Farmers Educational ad Co.
Operative Union OF America.
Those who till the soil are the
chosen people Of Gcd.
Farming is as old as the human
race and is yet ii its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the
farmer who plans while he pluws.
No civilization has ever advanced
beyond its agricultural Develop
ment.
No farmer is successful who
thinks more of his barn than he
does of his home.
The development Of the farmer
himself must precode the full de.
velopment of the ground he tills.
The most beautiful fact in the
farmers work is that everything
he plants is 2 lesson ~ faith.
The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead of his neigh.
bor: his great business is to get
ahead himself.
We must give to the eeople who
live on the farm the same educa-
tional advantages as those Of the
city enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency
of much poteLtiality because the
rural life movement is religious as
we'll as industrial and social.
There should be social and ar
industrial survey of evesy com.
munity. The pastor, .he teacher
and the school and church official:
are they who should make such q
survey.
. In a recent survey of a commun
ity in New England. the average
annual income Of l54 farmers who
have a common school education
was 1929 whila the average net in
come of 1872 farmers Of the same
locality who have a high school edu
cation was saS2 annually. This wa
worth to each farmer who possess
ed it S2e3 each year.
