STATE DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEE ORGANIZED

Reported difficulty in selecting an
executive committee that would be
acceptable to all candidates, delayed
the convening of the democratic state

cratic stalwarts were in evidence.
Among these were E. E. Caine of
Elko, candidate for congress; Dis

pah; John Edwards Bray, superin-
tendent of public instruction; JUS
tice Patrick III. McCarran, Raymond
T. Baker, William Kennett of Elko,
candidate for clerk of the supreme
court, and others.

Dry Lake, by the speedometer Is
las miles from Goo1springs, just
little run down there and then
spread out before the eye is a per-
fectly level, hard-surfaced tract Of
ground, five miles in width and about
eleven miles in length. 1t is as
smooth and even as billiard table,
and the surface is as hard as finely
packed silt and alluvium can be
made. 1t is as dry as bone during
the greatest part of the year. Oc-

the sun does the rest of the work.

The Republican state central COM
mittee today elected George L. San
ford of Carson as it's chairman for
the ensuing two years. The commit
tee not pursuant to the directions of
the state convention which was in
session here on September 5. Mr.
Sanford has been chairman of the
committee for the last two years.
The committee also named B. F..
Curler of Elko as the party candidate
for long term regent of the universi-
ty. Judge Curler is former resi-
dent of Reno and served two terms
as district Judge of Humboldt, Chur
chill and Washoe counties. He was
the unanimous choice of the state
central committee as the party's can
didate for long term regent.
At the time the state convention
nominated the party ticket, only one
candidate for long term regent was
named. The convention placed the
nomination of second long-term
regent in the hands of the state cen
tral committee.
Today's meeting was held at the
Golden hotel and was attended by
members from all over the state. In
addition to choosing a chairman,

UNCLE SANS SCHOOL
FOR FARMERS WIVES

The biggest school in the world IS
the one which the government of tna~.
United States is running for the ben.
eft of the farmers wives of this
country Extending over hundreds of
thousands of square miles and hav-
ing millions Of students, the CORES
pondent courses of the United States
department of agriculture have been
educating the nation into better
methods of living, into improved FAC
ilities for farming, into better ways
OF buying and selling, and into ligl-
er standards of work and recreation.
The school, which was opened as
s;noCl of information by the daDact-
ment in 1914, and which has been
augmented by the provisions Of the
Smith-Lever bill for agricultural edu-
cation extension work, is one OF the
most important and successful. re-
forms inaugurated by the Wilson ad-
ministration. Before it's inception
the farmers wives of the United
States were dependent on the miscel-
laneous and not always reliable
sources for their information con-
corning their activities. The depart
ment school has brought to them the
agricultural and household knowl-
/ edge attained by the department and
by the state colleges. The fact that
the secretary and assistant secretary
are, for the first time in the history
of the department, trained econo-
mists has resulted in having the bus.
mess of farming recognized as ma
tional problem.
The department school has not
oily taught the farmer how to get
ms produce to mar Sot in order to
command the best price. hut has de-
voted attention to the special mar
kets available for those farm pro-
ducts recognized as the special aetiv-
ity of the women on the farm. In
formation on poultry raising has
been spread everywhere throughout
the country, as has advice on dairy
products. Any woman who wants tt

But the real surprise came when the
nomination of district attorney was
called for. Up to a day or two pre-
vious, everyone believed that A. l..
Scott would be the nominee of the
eony ention without any opposition.
Mr.. Scott thought so himself, for he
had been led to believe that the
present incumbent of the Office, VIM.
q. Orr, would not be candidate
again; for Mr. Orr had told him so.
Billy" did have his mind made up
to stay out of politics entirely this
year for several reasons. But pres
sure was brought to bear, and "Bi,-
ly' changed his mind He told the
convention that he had informed Mr..
Scott he would not be a candidate;
but that his friends had come to him
and had demanded of him to stay in
the district attorneys office for at
least another term; so if the dele
gates insisted that he should answer
the party's call he would consent and
accept the nomination at their hands.
Meanwhile Mr.. Scott requested his
sponsor not to present his name as a
candidate before the convention. Mr..
Orrs nomination was then made
unanimous.
The contest for the nomination for
long and short term commissioner
also proved an interesting feature
of the convention. For the long
term nomination Will Hammond of
Eagle Valley, E. C. d. Marriage OF
Phoebe, and Phil Mathews of Panacs

won easily. For the short term com

day was convention day in Phoebe;
and lively day it was-particularly
in the Democratic convention which
met in the court room of the county
court house and where there were
several contests, as well as some very
distinct surprises.
The Republican convention was
less attractive to spectators for the
reason that in contrast to what was
happening over in the Democratic
fold, everything moved along har-
moniously and without single hitch
to seriously interrupt the proceed
ings. In the Republican convention,
there were no contests for any Office
excepting that of recorder and aud
itOr where a vote was taken result
ing 5 to in favor of Ellis Riding of
Caliente, against Mrs. Charlotte
Quackenbush. All other nominations
were made by acclamation.
Before the Democratic convention
convened it was pretty generally be-
lieved that there would be some
thing doing" So that was where
the crowd went. There was talk of
states, frame-ups, etc. in the air and
whether that was the case or not,
the convention proved to be intensely
interesting to those who sat outside
THE rail and rather too interesting
for some of those who saw their po-
litical aspirations sink into oblivion
at least for the time being. OF
course. there were some sore spots
left which may take time to heal.
However, the Democrats, as we'll as
the Republicans put up a good ticket
and it will be battle royal from
now on until election day, which
happens this year on November 7th
The nomination of state senator fell
to w. r. Stewart, Sr., of Alamo, who
had no opponent and his nomination
was made by acclamation. The mat

NEW DRINK IS
DECLARED ILLEGAL
CITY ATTORNEY OF ATLANTA
RULES AGAINST BEER
IMITATION.

ATLANTA, May 22.-How about
this new drink that is claimed to be
an exact imitation of beer as to looks.
taste and smell?
Is it against the law or not?
James l.. Mayson, city attorney of
Atlanta, has ruled that the drink is
against the law, on the ground that
its an imitation of the beer, and the
new Georgia prohibition laws speci-
fically prohibit the manufacture, sale,
etc, of any imitation of beer. whether
containing alcohol or not.
POLICE Chief Mayo. of Atlanta, is
somewhat in the air as to what to do.
The city attorney. as above stated, has
officially informed the police that the
drink is violation of the law; while
the board of police commissioners,
who eiected Mayo to the job. have de-
clined to give hlnl instructions to stop
the sale.
