Con.
 The suffracists have recently been giving an unfair and incorrect idea of the laws of our states. The suffrage moving picture "Your Girl and Mine" has been widely exhibited and has con- tributed to this false impression. But what are the facts The suffragists maintain that in six states, Delaware, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Maryland and Florida man can will away lis children. This is mistake. Letters written to the Attorneys-gen- eral of these states resulted in the denial of the existence of any such law in the first four states, while in the two latter the interests of the children and the rights of the mother are safe- guarded by the courts.
 Tie suffragists further give the i'm pression that i'll some states where men only vote, the man acquires full con- trol of his wife's property when he marries her. This is also an error. There is no state which allows a woman's property, acquired before marriage, to pass into her husbands possession after marriage. On the other hand, in various states where women vote, money earned or acquired by a woman after marriage becomes community property. This community property is under the control of the husband ill Washington, Idaho and California, all suffrage states. Worst of all, in the woman suffrage state of California such property can be sold or willed away by the man without the wife's consent. This is one more stril- ing instance of the way in which "Votcs for women fail to protect women. The women of Connecticut are better off without the ballot than their unfortunate sisters in the west are with it. The majority of the women of Connecticut realize this. That is why less than 1 per cent. of them are asking for tle ballot.

DEAN c. 5. KNIGHT
ON DRY FARMING
BY CHARLES S. KNIGHT
Dean of the College of Agriculture.
University of Nevada

Dean of the College of Agriculture,
University of Nevada
the term dry farming is apt to be
misleading TO a great many people by
indicating that it means farming with
out water. When such a meaning is
construed, the term dry farming" is a
misnomcr.
BY dry farming is meant farming in
districts where the annual precipita-
ton is less than ~ inches, and where
the water table is not so near the sur
face that the plant roots are supplied
With sufficient moisture for a maxi
nun. crop. Where the water table is
Jess han three Ieet from the surface.
the moisture for the plants is supplied
by subirrigation, and these regions
are not considered dry-farming areas
The success of dry farming lis based
upon the conservation Of water receiv-
ed by the soil in the form of rain or
snow. the cultivation of the soil to
check evaporation and keep the
growth of weeds, an annual rainfall of
from II to 20 inches, and a general I'M.
derstanding of the dry-farming princi-
Piles.
President John A. Widstoe OF the
Utah Agricultural College says:
The fundamental problems of dry
farming are:
/. The storage in the soil of a small
annual rainfall.
"2. The retention in the soil of the
moisture until it is needed by the
plants.
"3. The prevention of the direct
evaporation of sell moisture during
the growing season.
Il The regulation of the amount Of
water drawn from the soil by plants.
IS. The choice of crops suitable for
growth under arid conditions.
&c The application of suitable crop
treatments.
81. The disposal of dry-farmins
products. based upon the superior con-.
position of plants grown with small
amount of water"
important Considerations.
In an address of w. NJ. Hays, for
merely assistant secretary of agricul.
OF agriculture, before the sixth inter
national dry-farming congress, the fol
lowing statements were made:
DRY farming is somewhat more
speculative than farming by irrigation,
and upon that account we need to
steer closer to the shore; we need to
have a little money invested else.
where that will be an insurance to
the entire family. The whole scheme
of farming must be chosen upon sound
Judgment, with the advice of neigh
bOrs, of the experimental stations, of
the department men, but especially
with the advice of the successful
neighbor You need to work out your
general farm scheme in a broad,
strong way. You want to accomplish
that which not only will pay the farm
mortgage. but pay for getting you a
building on the farm, and for books
and magazines and schools, and also
to pay q little income. We should not
have u farms divided into too small
areas.
I'VE need to pay very much atten-
ton TO our forage. We need more
experimental farms TO see If we can.

RELICS OF An OLD
RACE DISCOVERED
Traces Of Ancient Civilization that An.
tedates Anything Known in
American History

The archaeological department Of the
University OF Nevada has nearly com.
pleted the exploration of a cave in Ne
vada sealed up Ey nature 5000 years
ago. II contains relics OF what is be.
iieved to be the ancient race from
which the American Indians sprung, a
rave far older than the Aztecs. Among
the things brought to light is a skull
declared to be more than 5000 years
old certainly and possible in existence
severe hundred thousand years q
IL these surmises are correct, il Is
older than the Piltdown skull. found
in Kent, England.
Along with the skull were found
many relics of a prehistoric race in a
remarkable state of preservation, be,
cause, they have been hermetically
sealed in Natures w personalities.
The first mention of this ancient civ.
ilization that is remembered by white
men dates back to 1914, when Cen
eral Fremont led from California a lit.

through the Rockies. He followed the
Humboldt river until he came to the
shores OF what is now called Hum
boldt lake, a half mile east of the main
Humboldt range of mountains, and 4
mile south of LCvelock, Nevada. In
the region OF the lake he entered the
land Of the Pluto, the chief of whom
was WinnemucCa. The trail makers
were met by the Indian chieftain with
open arms.
General Fremont and his party were
guests of the Fiute band for many
days. Familiarity with other tribes
had taught Fremont a method of COM
munication by means of signs. He
asked the Indian chief if he, in his
great wisdom, could tell the white
man whence came the red men-their
origin. The aged chief by signs indi-
Gated that the history of the Indians
went back to the beginning of the
world. 1t told him his ancestors had
driven a whole nation into a huge cav
ern and sealed them there to perish.
When years later Chief Winnemuc-
ca had learned the white mans tongue
the Piute legends spread among the
pioneer miners and finally reached the
ears of scientific men. With the com.
ing of educators into Nevada in the
last % years interest Quickened with
reported fossil discoveries in the beds
of extinct rivers and on the falls of
canyons.
At Winnemucca's death his daugh-
ter, Sarah, became attached to the
family of an army officer, and through
them the legends became public when
they were ]recoulted in a book printed
in 1870.
Her granddaughter, Sarah Winnie
mucca, was educated in a reservation
school. Her imagination fired by the
legends of her people, she repeated
them to her instructors, until finally
Prof. J. c. Jones chief of the archae-
logical department of the State Uni
versity, determined TO make a search
for the lost cave. The stories indi.
Gated that ii must be somewhere near
the Humboldt lake. Sarah Whine.
mucca picked n spot as e as the
legends could guide her, from which
point the scientists conducted their

GIRL ASKS $4,000;
ACCUSES BANKER
Says Jay Stanley Foster
Head of BoWery Bank,
Promised Marriage.
SUIT KEPT COURT
SECRET SINCE MARCH
Defendant and Wealthy Wife
Have Lived Separately for
Six Years.

A suit for breach Of promise against
Jay Stanley Foster, president Of the
Bowery Bank and vice-president Of the
Bank of Babylon, Long Island, was re-
vcaled Yesterday in the Supreme Cour..
Miss Lillian Benson, said to be the
daughter Of a prominent clergyman
and we'll connected socially in the West,
is the plaintiff, and asks $4,000 dam
ages. Foster and his wife, Mrs. Jen-
ME Rice Morgan Foster, whose estate
in Babylon was a show place, parted
about six years ago.
The suit was brought last March. II
is in court to-day because Foster, who
denies the alleged promise to marry,
asks that the action be dismissed on
the ground that he paid Miss Benson
$1,000. in consideration Of which, Fos-
ter says, she gave him a general re-
lease Of all claim against him. The
proceeding was before Justice weeks
Yesterday on a motion Of the banker 10
dismiss the suit, because Miss Benson
had failed TO reply, as ordered by the
court, to his defence that she had re-
leased him. This matter was adjourned.
Not much information could be OBJ
tanned about the plaintiff. 1t is said
she came here about eight years ago
and lived at several of the leading
hotels. 1t was pointed out as a CO.
incidence that Miss Benson is the chum
Of Miss Corinne Bannister, who re-
Gently sued George G. Murray, man
ufacturer, for breach of contract to
provide for her support for life. Inat
case was recently settled.
Foster is the son of the late John ;.
Foster, who was president Of the Bow
cry Bank. He is member Of several
clubs and a lawyer. He inherited
large part Of his fathers fortune, and
succeeded him as the head Of the bank.
Miss Benson complained that she met
Foster in January, 1913, at social
function. She says the banker became
attentive to her and finally promised
to marry her. The date of the mar
rage was put off from time to time
and becoming impatient, Miss Benson,
in July, 1914 insisted that Foster make
good his pledge.
81 waited a reasonable time for him
to fulfil his promise" said Miss Ben
son, "and when in July of last year ne
grew Indifferent and cold to me con-
suited friends, and they advised me 10
bring suit"
Mrs Foster is a wealthy woman. She
is a daughter of the late Richard Jes
sup Morgan and granddaughter Of the
late Charles Morgan. founder and owner
of the Morgan Steamship Line.
