1.-THE Lord Loved Them"
Love is the keynote Of the Bible.
Notwithstanding the fact that it con-
tains threatenings as we'll as promises,
manifestations Of justice as we'll as Of
mercy. If Gods character were de-
void Of Justice, If His Love should
override His Justice. 1t would be
terrible calamity for all those depend
ent upon Him. 1t would testify weak
ness Of character instead of strength.
The fact that Gods Wisdom. Justice,
Love and Power operate in full har-
mony gives us confidence In Him and
love for Him, intensified as we realize
His unchangeableness
From the beginning God foreknew
His Plan as we see 1t gradually ripen-
ing. He foreknew that man would fall
deeply into sin and be overwhelmed in
Its penalty, death. He foreknew His
own purpose to provide In due time
the Lamb Of God as Ransom-Sacri-
fee for the sins Of the whole world.
He foreknew the ultimate blessing of
all mankind, purposing that the glori-
fed Redeemer and His glorifed
Church should be their Deliverer
He arranged thousand years Of
Restitution, when under Messiah's
Glorious Kingdom all mankind should
be brought to a full knowledge Of God
and full opportunity for returning
to all that was lost in Eden. but re-
deemed at Calvary. He arranged that
the ultimately rebellious should be de-

SNEAK THIEVES ROB SAFE
lin OFFICE OF LOCAL GARAGE

Thursday afternoon sneak thieves
entered the Winnemueca garage and
stole two $50 and two $40 bills from
the safe. Mrs. Havilard, who was at
tending to the business of the office in
the absence from town of Mr.. Havi-
land, had stepped into the family res
idence, situated a dozen feet away, for
few minutes, during which time the
robbery occurred
1t is thought that two men were
cerned in the theft, as Mrs. Havi-
lands little girl claims to have seen
two men in the Office curing her mo-
ther IS absence.
The robbery was reported to the Of
fcers, but as there is very little to
work on, it is hardly probable that
the thieves win be apprehended. It is
thought, however, that the deed was
committed by persons thoroughly fa-
miliar with the promises.

facts of the case arc alleged to be,
briefly, as follows:
Both men worked for the "Double-

of taking their meals together. 1t is
claimed that usually Ferraa got up
first in the morning and prepared the
breakfast, after which Franklin arose
and ate his meal. 1t is said that yes
terday morning Franklin failed to re-
spond to the call for breakfast, and
that after eating his own meal, Ferra
threw away the remainder. This an
gered Franklin and the two men had
a row. 1t is claimed that Ferra then
went to Willow Point, where he Sc
cured two revolvers, returning to the
ranch. While the two men were feed
ing the stock, at 6 O'Clock last even
ing, in the corral back of. the ranch
barn, the alteration was renewed,
when Ferra started to draw one of his
guns. Fraklin, however, was the
quicker and fred two shots, one going
wild, the other taking effect in Ferra s
side an inch and half below the
heart, producing instant death.
Franklin then started for Whine

rendering himself to the authorities,
but as he dismounted at the Fashion
stables he was placed under arrest by
Constable Moore, who lodged him I'M

UNEASY FEELING
AT WASHINGTON
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Govern-
ment officials consider America deeper
than ever in the international tangle
The British replies to the flag and Will
helmina protests have augmented the
gravity of the situation. The British
reply shocked the officials, who had
believed that England would attempt
to minimize or entirely abandon the
use of the flag. Instead, it said in eff
feet, that while no older for its use
would be given, it would not stop en-
tirely. Announcement of the prize
court proceedings in the case of the
Wilhelmina, which hint that food may
become contraband, has increased the
anxiety.

AFTER DATA FOR
NEVADA PUBLICITY

"What has Nevada to offer to the
homeseeker in the Easts"
This question has been propounded
to the Western Press association bv the
newspapers of the Middle West and

a long time and knows conditions in
the Intermountain region thoroughly.
She will spend a few Gays with the Ne
vada legilature, invetigate the general
law on homesteads, ard other questions
which are vital 90 the settler, and at
the same time gather data dealing with
the personalities anu makeup of the
men who are making the laws. This
data later will form the basis of a
magazine article, and will be profusely
illustrated with cuts of Nevada peo-
pie, and interesting points in the state.
Mrs Conners, accompanied by her year
old daughter Josephine, will be in Car
son City within a week. She left Kan
sas City some time ago, but expects to
make a brief visit to some of the legis-
lative cities through which she passes

"Ar1ned Neutrality, Probable

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20" Armed
neutrality" is whispered as a possible
answer to Germany's and England s
refusal to yield to American demands.
A high official declared that there
ought to be no further parley. "Strict-
ly soft pedal" is the order given by
department heads, but from usually
well informed quarters it is suggested
that while this government has no de
sire to be aggressive, it is apprehen-
sive and intends to prepare quietly to
show that it will maintain its rights.
