A TwlCE-TOLD TALE


Good news bears repeating, and
when il is confirmed after a long
lapse Of time, even if we hesitated
to believe it at first hearing, we
feel secure in accepting its truth
now. The following experience Of
a Mount Sterling woman is confirm
ed after three years.
Mrs. N. Trimble, IL Jamison St.,
Mt. Sterling, says: ''The worst
trouble / had was with my kidneys.
Their action was irregular and the
kidney secretions were unnatural.

my loins and often | had nervous
spells. l did not sleep well and in
the morning felt all tired out. Fin
ally began using Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at Duerson's Drug
Store, and / soon felt better. I
continued taking them until was

OVER THREE YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Trimble said: "All / said in
praise Of Doan's Kidney Pills be-
fore holds good"

BRYAN's ARGUMENT

Here is a strong argument used
by Hon. W. ]. Bryan, in his speeches
in favor Of Woman's Suffrage in
New York during the campaign just
closed:
"The majority of the inmates of
the penitentiary are men; the ma
jority of members of the churches
are women. If the women have
sense enough to keep out of the
penitentiary and sense enough to
run the churches, they surely ought
to have sense enough to WELD the
ballot"

SOMETHING NEW IN
THE TIRE WORLD
The New MlcheIln Universal Tread

A genuine sensation has been
caused in the tire trade following
an announcement by the Michelin
Tire Company that they have per-
fected an entirely new type of tire
known as the Michelin Universal
Tread. This new casing has been
developed SO quietly that nothing
has been known about it even in
the trade, yet the company states
that it is the result Of experiments
and tests covering period Of
over three years.
These tests were conducted on
the public roads in the vicinity Of
the factory, and were most thor
ough and interesting. For example,
during the testing period all the
busses owned by the Brunswick
Motor Company were equipped
with these new castings. These
vehicles cover one hundred and
ninety-two miles daily, not only over
the fine macadam roads between
New Brunswick, Metuchen and
Plainfeld, N. j., but also over the
rough and sandy roads on the South
River, Old Bridge, Spotswood, En-
glishtown and Freehold route.
These severe tests were continued
daily, both summer and winter.
Then again private cars belonging
to executives Of the company were
fitted with Universal Treads, one
of these, a seven-passenger Lozier
used as a testing car, having been
driven over one hundred miles daily,
excepting Sundays and holidays for
over two years.

casing, Mr.. Strother, the local

STATES REVENUE LAWS
IN NEED or REVISION

OF more than 100000 due for the
second payment of the 1914 taxes,
there remained unpaid but $5.1S due
on two tracts Of contract land. At
the tax sale held recently by County
Treasurer Hoenstine, there was no
bidder, and all that now remains is
for the commissioners TO strike these
amounts from the roll at the Septem-
Der meeting to balance the books of
the auditor and treasurer. and the
county will lose the money.
The law should be amended in this
respect to conform to the statutes
of other states. where at tax sales
property is bid in for the state By
the official conducting the sale,
where there are no private bidders.
In this manner the tax becomes a
lien on the property until settled,
while under the present law where
there is no bidder for a parcel of
property the county loses the money
and the owner is enriched in a cor.
responding amount.-Silyer State.

FROM ALFALFA BLOSSOMS
Carson Valley Man Adds Another to
the Multifarious Uses of the King

Alfalfa is not only good feed for
dairy cows, but properly treated is
a cure for several human ailments
Delicious candy is also made from
alfalfa. while alfalfa meal finely
ground makes delicious biscuits and
il is a safe bet that if alfalfa was
widely grown in Germany as in this
country. the chemists of that coun-
try would have long ago found a
way to make it into bread for the
soldiers. Now comes a Carson Val
ley man, with a new use for alfalfa.

EFFORT NOW IN PROGRESS
TO RECOVER c. y. LAND.

At Reno last Friday County Cle6k
w. A. Fogg acted as commissioner
In an interesting legal dispute be-
tween the Central Pacific Railway
company and the government OF the
United States according to the Hum
boldt star The action grows out OF
the contention of the government
that certain lands included in the
grant to the C. p. company should
be recovered by the government
since recent research has shown 1t
To be valuable mineral land. The
railroad company strenuonsly OBJ
jeets to the course pursued by the
government and is making every eff
fort to retain possession of the pre-
misses, which is located in Elko coun-
ty. Attorney Ralph Kelley, of Den
yer. Colorado, connected with the u.
S. Land department, appeared on be-
half of the government and as is
customary in such cases took the wit
ness stand. offering testimony.
The contest is of long standing,
first being instituted by the u. S.
land department In 1911-12 when
investigation was made as to certain
grants which were made by the gov
ernment. as an inducement to the
Central Pacific company to institute
a transcontinental line. This grant
exempted all mineral lands from
transfer to the railroad and geologi-
cal surveys made since the time of
the grant have been demonstrated
that some of the land claimed by the
railroad has developed to be rich in
minerals and an effort is being made
to recover land of this nature. Con-
siderable testimony was taken three
years ago and everything was held
in allegiance by the land Office until
more satisfactory evidence could be
acquired

DR.. C. A. HASCALL is NOW
U. S. NARCOTIC INSPECTOR
Received Notice of Appointment Last
Friday and Leaves for San
Francisco Sunday.

DIR. c. A. Hascall of Fallon. re-
ceived official notification of his APP
pointment as Narcotic Inspector un-
der the Harrison law last Friday and
left on Sundays train for San Fran
cisco to report for duty to the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue.
The appointment was made
through the recommendation of Sem
ator Newlands to Commissioner Os-
born, who makes the appointment.
The first announcement that DR..
Hascall would probably receive lie
appointment was made about two
months ago.
The appointment of DR.. Haseall
will be generally welcomed in Fal-
Ion as a good one. While not pos
ing as a Democrat, and strictly
speaking the appointment is non
political one. DR.. Hascall was an ar
dent supporter of Senator Newlands
in the last campaign making several
speeches in his behalf and this per-
haps had something to do with his
selection for the position. The po-
sition is one that requires a knowl-
edge of medicines and especially
narcotics as a prerequisite. For this
reason no one but a druggist or a
physician was eligible.
Dr.. Haseall is an old resident of
E'allon and one of the most consist
ent and persistent boosters" in the
community. He is the president of
the Fallon Electric railroad COM
pany, but as the business of the
company is transacted through the
general manager, e. S. Berney, the
new position will not interfere in
any way with his local business af-
fairs. His many friends in Fallon
will congratulate him and feel that
the appointment comes more as a
well-deserved recognition of his
civic activities than for political
service.

STATE FAIR NATTER WILL
BE SUBJECT THIS EVENING
Chamber Of Commerce to Hold
Meeting to Secure Site for Neces-
sary buildings.

Ii is proposed to hold a meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce to-
night at the City Hall and it is hoped
that all of our towns people and also
az many of the people living adja-
cent 10 town as can be present will
attend The meeting has been called
to consider the adyisability of secur-
ing a block of land within the limits
of the City of Fallon and devising a
way By which the title can be ac-
quired without cost to the State. 1t
is proposed to offer this site to the
State Agricultural Society and thus
acquire a piece of land upon which
they would be Justified in spending
the appropriation of $4,000 that is
available or building purposes only
for the State Fair for this year.
1t has been proposed that this site
be selected by a committee appoint
cd for that purpose and that It be
offered to the Agricultural Society
through the Chamber of Commerce
and that in case of removal OF the
State Fair the matter be SO arranged
that the site and buildings so erect
ed would revert to and become the
property of the Churchill County
Chamber of Commerce and always
remain available for tie use Of the
pubic
It has been found from the exper-
ienoe of other communities where
it has been tried out that the loca-
tion of the agricultural exhibits at
the race track has not proved a sue
cess, due to the fact that the crowds
that attend these exhibits generally
prefer to view them in the evenings
ard apart from the races.
Il can be stated positively that a
fair will be held here this fall and
from present indications as taken by
the interest shown and inquiries
made the agricultural exhibits will
far exceed any ever shown in the
past. When we consider that if we
succeed in securing the $4,000 ap-
propriated for Buildings we also ac-
quiRe the disbursal Of $4,000 with
in the next two fears that has been
appropriated to BE used exclusively
as premiums for agricultural exhib-
its. the importaRss o. this nndeatak-
ing will be realized by the communss''
ty. All that is required at this tin :
is a general disposition to get e.
gether to make our Fair a success
