From the Manager to the Cross.

st. Mary's parish will hold their an
nual reunion in the town hall Tuesday
evening, March II. The scenes "From
the Manger to the Cross" will be given
in moving pictures. The pictures are
presented in five parts and were taken
by the Kalem company at an enormous
expense. 1t is probably the most eX-
pensive and carefully planned film in
the world. The life of Christ from His
birth in manger at Bethlehem to His
crucifxion upon the cross at Mount
Calvary is presented in moving form.
Edward Davis, the lessee of the film
from the Kalem company, reads selec-
tons from the Bible to fit each set. The
following letter of recommendation is
from Rev. w. j. O'Sullivan of Mont
pelier.
Montpelier, VT, 11-5-13.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
The Moving Picture Life Story of
Jesus of Nazareth entitled From the
Manger to the Cross consider the most
beautiful and impressive exhibition of
the kind / have ever witnessed. 1t is
truly a biblical masterpiece from the
artistic, historical and religious points
of view 1t is wonderful 1t is most
interesting, instructive and edifying.
No words of mine can adequately de-
scribe the vivid and realistic qualities
of this production. 1t is truly the Holy
Land that we see and visit as it was in
the days of Christ, as it is today.
The actors in these living scenes are
the people of nineteen hundred years
ago with their national traits, custums
and manners. The whole story from
beginning to end is portrayed and tolc
with the greatest reverence and histori
cal fidelity. 1t is fascinating beyond ex
preston Having seen it once, one
wishes to see it again and again.
cannot too highly recommend this re
markable representation for the en-
tertainment and instruction of the young
as well as the old.

FLOUR MILL ON FARM.
How One North Dakota Man Gets
Greatest Return From Crops.

A North Dakotan realizes the maxi
mum returns from his wheat and rye
crops by converting these grains into
flour which he sells at SO a hundred
pounds. In his locality it was practi-
cally impossible to obtain good rye,
graham or whole wheat -four so this
farmer started growing and grinding
his own grain. AS he became prof
cient the quality of the flour improved
until finally his neighbors were annu-
ally demanding his surplus at hand
some prices. This keen demand for
high quality -four increased until he
decided that it would pay him to equip
q small mill thoroughly and to embark
in the business on Il commercial scale.
A stream of considerable velocity
flows through his farm and furnishes
the power with which to operate his
machinery. He equipped his minia-
ture mill with a crusher. IA grinder, a
cleaner and an elevator. The income
from his -four business during the first
two years paid for his plant ana equip
ment and yielded him good net profit
This miller eliminates all the charges
that usually go to the middle man. He
annually raises about eighty acres of
wheat and thirty-fve acres of rye.
Some Of this grain he sells as cash
crop on account of inadequate bin
room in which TO store it, but more
than half of the crop is converted into
-four to be used for human food.
\ gasoline engine is also maintained
as a reserve source of power in case
the water power should give out. The
marketable flour is neatly sacked and
sells for So Il hundred pounds. An
nually the rye and wheat have a
farm value of about 60 and 50 cents
bushel respectively where they are
sold. as cash crops. AT slight eX-
pense as regards time and labor this
shrewd farmer converts his raw wheat
and rye-that in the bulk are worth APP
proximately $l.01 and Sl10 hundred
pounds-into excellent flour that sells
for SO a hundred pounds
Yearly this progressive farmer Is
gaining an attractive income from his
milling operations, since he also grinds
grain for his neighbors. This labor In
nowise interferes with his farm work
as the greater share of the mill work
is done during the period when field
work is relatively slack.-Country Gen

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE.
Prof. Mcfarland Tells of Summer
Vacation Along Labrador Trails.


Vacation Along Labrador Trails.
Prof. Raymond Mcfarland spoke at
the Congregational church in st. Adams,
Thursday evening, March 5, describing
a summer vacation trip taken three
years ago by three professors of Mid
dlebury college.
The party left civilization, as exem-
plified in northern Canada, at Lake st.
John, travelled up over the Height of
Land, and through Lake Mistassini,
which is as long as Lake Champlain, and
a wider body of water. From the north
end of this lake Professor Mcfarland
with one Indian guide went on for an
other 200 miles over territory which had
never been explored.
The speaker described this northern
country as rich in virgin forests; having
mineral deposits of great value, but in
accessible; and immense water power
Much of the lecture was given to des-
cription of the Indians; their methods of
travel, manner of living, personal char
acteristics, etc. ANY idea which the
audience may have had of the laziness
of the Indian was dispelled by the des-
cription of the hardships of their life,
especially in the months of trapping
during the northern winter. At this
time an Indian and his family may be
200 miles from other human beings,
entirely dependent upon their own re-
sources for eight or nine months. A
high tribute was paid these Indians for
their strength and endurance, their de-
votion to the tasks they were hired to
perform, and for their honesty, stealing
being an unknown offense.
The lecturer described the interior OF
Labrador as very different from the
popular conception of barren country
but region which one would not care
to visit from love of luxury and ease
1t was illustrated with about so photo
graphes taken by the party.
Following the lecture lunch was ser
we'd in the chapel. This was one of the
social evenings instituted by the direct
ors two years ago to promote feeling
of good fellowship among the members
of the society. The attendance was
estimated at $50.

day he purchased child's wagon and
went out to the edge of town with
Rex. He applied gearing running
from the axle of the wagon to the
motor
There was whir as Melton touch
ed a small leverand sure enough the
wagon did some clever running
stunts.
'1t's a new principle" declared
Melton, "a combination of springs
and magnets. There's a certain re-
troactive effect which the magnets
control"
And the glib schemer wandered off
into a wilderness of scientific long
winded terms that bewildered plain
everyday Rex, while they influenced
and pleased him. He succeeded in
convincing Rex that built on a large
scale, the motor would do wonders,
got the thousand dollars and disap-
peared.
Rex was full of his wonderful in
vestment and naturally told his
friends about it. At the end of a
week, however, receiving no word
from Melton, he went to the city to
investigate. He found a vacant lot
at the address where Melton had told
him the plant was located that would
manufacture his motor. There was
no such bank as the one to which
Melton had referred. After a visit to
the police, Rex went back home sadly
convinced that he had been deftly
feeced by professional swindler.
Rex told nobody in town of his in
tentions, but started out on his search
for his vanished business partner. He
spent three days in the city seeking a
clew as to the antecedents and posi-
BILE present residence of Melton By
sheer accident he at length became
persuaded that the man he was look
ing for was at a little city named Ma
con, or somewhere near there.

had become acquainted with the FAM

it's summit, peering past some bushes,
Rex made out three figures strolling
along the lower path-an old gentles

man who had swindled him out of his
savings. re...
Elegantly dressed, playing the
plausible man of means to the col
onel and the attentive exquisite to his
fair daughter, Melton finally halted
and pointed up to the summit of the
hill, as though discussing that point.
Then after brief conversation with
the others he began its ascent
Coming after something" rumi-
mated Rex. "I'n give him a welcomed"
Rex noticed nearby what seemed
to be small summer camp. There
was a tent, on it's table camera and
he surmised that Melton had probably
come after that. There was also
barrel. AS his glance fell upon this,
his eyes sparkled.
Melton, reachingt the tent, was sud-
denly seized from behind and his
arms pinioned. Then Rex Worthy
confronted him. He did not speak
a word. He simply proceeded to ran
sack his pockets. Melton was in
funds, it seemed. From his pocket
book Rex extracted the currency it
contained, nearly eight hundred dol
lars.

served, "this much of the money you
stole from me you will never see

HOLD INQUEST ON
SUICIDES REMAINS

Today Coroner Dunn and jury are
holding an inquest over the remains
of Angelo Corsa, the man who hanged
himself in the county Jail Saturday
night.
Evidence disclosed the fact that de-
ceased, an Italian miner, 2S years of
age, was en- route from Abba, Iowa,
to Tonopah, and that the crew that
took charge of Southern Pacific No. 3
at Carlin decided, from the mans ac-
tion, that he was insane. Upon the ar
rival of the train at Winnemucca
Corsa was turned over to Night
Watchman Hadlev, who took him to
the county Jail.
At ! o'clock Sunday morning his
dead body was discovered by Night
Jailer Nofsinger hanging suspended
from cross bar on his cell by means
of a leather belt. AS his feet were
touching the floor, he must have died
from slow strangulation.
Deceased leaves a wife and three
children at Tonopah who are said to
have been a charge ON Nye county
for the past FIVE months. A brother
and sister, living at Abba, Iowa, have
been communicated with bv wire and
burial will be deferred until they have
been heard from.

STATEMENT BY
ENGINEER KEARNEY

State Engineer w. NJ. Kearney
yesterday supplied additional infor-
nation concerning the forthcoming
test of the constitutionality of the
water law, giving his version of the
state of the litigation which is to
come before the Supreme Court on
April next.
"The Humboldt county case,o said
Kearney, els not on appeal yet al
though ] understand it is in process of
perfection as an appeal. In that case
Judge Dueker. declared certain parts
Of the law unconstitutional. In Nye
county there is decision from Judge
Averill upholding the law. In Clark
county there is an appeal on an in
junction in which the suffciency of
the complaint is the point at issue
"Now in order to crystalize the
matter in controversy a friendly suit
was instituted in Ormsby county ask
ing for the writ of prohibition. Dis
trict Attorney Chartz represented the
petitioner and Sardis Summerfeld is
special counsel, assisting Attorney
General Thatcher. This matter has
been submitted on briefs. In the ses-
sion the other day it was this case
that was under consideration but
counsel in the other cases asked to be
given permission to present their
eases at the same time. Attorney
Summerfeld then consented that the
entire matter be set down for the
April term, beginning April Z, when
all the matters may be gone into
fully.
81 would not want it to appear,
continued Kearney, "that all the de-
cisions are against us. In fact thus
far the matter may be considered de-
batable. journal.

THE CANDY SHOP
COMING MONDAY

Two baggage cars of the largest
capacity are required for the trans
portation of the scenery, mechanical
stage effects and equipment and cos
tunes used in the production of "The
Candy Shop the big musical comedy
show which comes here to the Nixon
opera house on Monday, March 2, for
an engagement of one performance.
At the conclusion of the phenome
nally successful two months run at
the new Gaietv theater in San Fran
cisco, the transfer of the show to the
new Morosco treater in Los Angeles
was made in a special train over the
Southern Pacific railroad and a simi-
lar contract has been made with the
latter company to transport the at
traction over its lines almost exclu-
sively on the present tour of the
other coast cities and towns.
The personnel of "The Candy
Shop numbers more than sixty peo
pie and as not few of these are high
salaried stars of international reputa-
tion and accustomed to exclusive
travelling, private Pullman coaches
are required for their personal con
venience and service. In order to
simplify as well as to minimize the
transportation of "The Candy Shop -
stars, the Anderson Gaiety company
has contracted recently with the Pull
man Palace Car company for the con
struction of an unusually spacious and
luxuriously furnished private coach
that is to be owned outright by the
Gaiety management. The building
contract calls for an early delivery
ard not only will the car be of almost
inestimable convenience to the troup-
ers, but with the big and attractive
letter on the sides, should and no
doubt will serve as an effective trav.
cling advertisement for the Gaiety
enterprises. Already the cost of the
"Candy Shop" production reaches
close to total of 100000, and with
the expense of private Pullman
coach added, the attraction will figure
in top numbers among the costliest
itinerant entertainments in this or
any other country. The local engage
ment of "The Candy Shop" is purely
the result of an open date here in the
itinerary of the show and local
theatergoers have occasion to feel
thankful to Manager Smith of the
Nixon for his enterprise in securing
the extraordinary attraction.
