Portents Of Dreams.

When one dreams of being naked
and cold he is threatened with pow
erty: either that or he is out from I'M
der the covers 1t is a good sign to
dream of giving or receiving kisses,
meaning friendship. good health and
earthly prosperity. No one could wish
for a better dream than to see the
rising sun, a clear moon or bright
stars. for they all denote riches, JOY
and good news. But beware of wan
ing moon. a clouded sun or a pale
star. A rainbow means early news of
pleasant nature and probably jour
ney. 4 young man who dreams of
snow is due very shortly for wedding
bells. Dreams CT thunder and li"N'
ming mean all sorts OF good luck.

at this season of the year. Railroad
men generally are glowing over the
prospects for busy tourist season
to Florida"
THE reason for this is easily
understood, said Mr. Furchgott.
1T IS because every day sees new
fortunes created People who last
year barely were assured of liveli
hood are this year contemplating
extended trips. Business has beer

brought on by the war in Europe.
Clothing manufacturers, shoe manu-
facturers and various other lines, to
say pothing of the industrial plants,
are prospecting as never before.
Greater business in other channels
is directly traceable to the war, be-
cause trade is expanding rapidly.
New markets which formerly de-
pended upon European manufac-
ture are opening up. American trade
is stretching to the south in big vol
iumes. The demand for goods, and
especially clothing and goods, ex-
ceeds the demand and where there is
the d, nland prices increase.
The natural result is that unem-
ploymcnt is at an unprecedented
minimum. the manufacturers are be-

THE HOUSE APPROPRIATION
COMMITTEE HERE TODAY

Bright and early this morning the
House Appropriation committee, to-
gether with several reclamation Of
fichls arrived from Washington,

the business men and farmers of this
Valley, the party sped away in auto
mobiles to view the agricultural
achievements of Carson Valley: After
looking over the Valley they will be
taken to the Long Valley reservoir

which If built by the government,
means so much for Carson Valley.
The visit of the Appropriation Com
ittee to this section at this time. is

ties and the proposed work on the
Upper Carson river and to avail them
selves of first-hand information OF
existing conditions Their obserya-
tion today will carry great weight in
future appropriations by the govern
ment in reclamation work
No doubt they We're astonished with
what they saw when they were whir-
rled by the different farms OF Car
son Valley, since this is recognized as
being one OF the most advanced
agricultural districts in the west. Dur
ing their few hours here they will
have ample opportunity to absorb the
greatness and worth of this project.
On one side they will see thousands
OF acres of alfalfa and timothy hay
now ready for the mower, the best
best hay that water, sunshine and fer
tile soil can produce; they will see
thousands of acres OF grain growing
under the system of irrigation. On
the other hand they will be taken to
a point where they can look over the
vast expanse of sagebrush land on
the East side of the Valley, that but
awaits the mgaic of a storage system
to make il as equally productive as
the lands that now produce bountifnl
