SUPREME COURT DEFINES
DISHONEST ADVERTISING

In defining yesterday more clearly
than ever before what constitutes dis
honest advertising through the mails,
the United States Supreme Court held
in effect that advertisers, even though
they give purchasers value received
for their money, are guilty of fraud If
by exaggerated propaganda they have
led clients to expect more. Officials
declare that the decision will pave the
way to scores of prosecutions and make
possible the enforcement of much
more stringent federal supervision of
mail advertising.
The opinion was announced by JUS
tice MeKenna, reversing the district
court in southern Florida, which quash-
ed an indictment against officials of
the New South Farm and Home com
pany. The Indictment charged unlaw-
full use of the mails in selling ten-acre
farms. The Florida court held that if
purchaser received his money 5
worth, exaggerated propaganda was
not fraud. Justice McKenna took the
position that it was an offense of the
article sold did not serve the purpose
reported, no matter what the value
might be

BOY HURT WHILE
COASTING DOWN HILL

John Steninger, son of the editor of
the Free Press, was rendered uncon-
seious several hours last night from be-
ing thrown from a bicycle and striking
on his head. He had started down town
at eight O'Clock on his wheel and was
coasting down the long hill without
lights and collided with some boys at
the bottom of the hill. John was
thrown some distance, striking on his
head, and aside from a concussion of
the brain, badly cut lip and considera-
BILE euticle scraped from his knuckles,
got off pretty easy. Homer Andrae S
little boy, who was struck by the
wheel, had his scalp cut ON the back
of his head that required several
stitches. Charlie Sewell, who was also
struck by the wheel, escaped with a
badly bruised shoulder. None of the
boys are seriously injured, and in this
case the boy on the wheel was the one
who was the worse hurt.-Elko Free

TRAINED LIONS
FEATURE OF CIRCUS

Twenty-four, full-grown, jungle-bred
African lions-every one a born man
eater-is one of the many thrilling
spectacles presented by the Al G..
Barnes big Touring wild animal cir
Gus. These animals are shown at ono
time in a steel-barred arena, in the
center of the shows mammoth tent, by
Herr Louie Roth. This is the largest
fully shown and the daring of the
trainer making one fairly shiver.
Many other dangerous and highly
sensational wild animal acts are pre-
sented by this show Maj. Thornton

mon, Siberian, sloth, black and polar
bears, Big Bill, a giant wrestling griz.

Mile. Florine, petite little woman
mingles with large number of Per

her ability to control the snarline
beasts is very amazing.
Miss Mabel Stark presents an act
with Royal Bengal and Siberian tigers
the most treacherous animals known
the trainer IS life being in peril every
moment.
Other features of sensational char.
acter are those in which Tom, Jerry
and Brutus. horse-riding African lions
appear. Sampson, another lion, rides
to the top of the tent surrounded by
shooting sky rockets. A leopard, griz.
zly bear, goat and monkey ride gal
Looping ponies around the arena in the
same group. A large herd of elephants
do some wondrous things in aerobaties
and posing. A clever farce comedy is
a part of their act.
High school riding and dancing
horses have a prominent part on the
program. Bob Chocolate, directed by
Miss Name Saunders, does the tango in
approved fashion. No other collection
of horses in the entire world ranks
with those carried by the Barnes cir
Gus. The horse troupe number five hun
drer, and every one has been trained
to perform. A company of one hundred
Arabian and Shetland ponies gallop
through an intricate maze of drills and
marches.
Almost every known animal has been
taken in hand by Al. G.. Barnes and
educated to act. Every species of mon
key, the kangaroo, hyena, sacred cat
tie, zebra, goats, dogs, etc, are pre-
sented.
The program abounds with plenty of
wholesome comedy for the little folks
original enough also to make the big
folks explode. Fifty comedy animals
provide the fun.
Performances will be given at 2 and
8 p. m. and the doors open at l and Z
p. m. A new glittering, four band pa
rade is presented at l0:30.

STATE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
DISCUSSED BY PROF. ADAMS

Needed social and economic read
justments in Nevada and the land
question was the subject of lecture
last evening at the Reno Y. M. C. A.,
by Prof. Romance Adams, says the
journal. The lecture was under the
auspices of the civic section of the
Twentieth Century club and was the
last of series by DR.. Adams on state
economic problems. A large audience
of interested citizens heard the lee
ture.
DR.. Adams opened with review of
industrial and social conditions in Ne
vada and set forth the premise that all
industries are good insofar as they
raise the general social level
Confning himself to a discussion of
agriculture and stock raising he main
tanned that the outstanding fact is that
the land system in Nevada is not con-
ducive to the development of sound
social conditions.
He pointed out that, throughout Ne
vada, there is no marked tendency to
subdivide the large holdings of the
few. On the contrary, there is a ten
dency to concentrate the land in the
hands of a few. Fifty-eight per cent Of
the states farmers own less than five
per cent of the land.
eff all the improved land of the
state" he said, "were divided into
farms, equal to the average, say so
acres, there would be 1892 farms on
the basis of the 1910 census of acre
age. This would mean a farm popula-
tion of over 10000 and town popula-
tion of perhaps 30,000.'
DIR. Adams then showed how few
men, by controlling water sources can
control thousands of acres of grazing
land, which is more valuable to them
than to a prospective homeseeker. The
homeseeker cannot pay what the stock
man thinks the land is worth to him.
IF he would sell say eighty acres
around the water source it would en-
danger all the rest of his unwatered
holdings in that vicinity The cultivat
able land is valuable to the stockman
for its production and for its range
control.
Dr. Adams outlined a plan for gov
ernment control of the public lands of
Nevada by which the government
would retain for some time all public
lands more valuable for range pastur-
age than for other purposes, particd-
larly all land with water needed for
range work
He would have commission
named, whose duty it would be to ad-
minister the public lands, subject to
the approval of the department of the
He would have this commission study
the land, the water supplies, climatic
conditions, pasturage conditions, and
the possibility of improving condi-
tions.
The study would have two objects
First, the improvement of livestock
and the bringing to Nevada of more
people.
Then system should be adopted
which would aid in breaking up the
large holdings into small farms and
the small farmer and stockman should
be favored in every possible way.

HIGH SCHOOL CLASS
SERVES BREAKFAST

Ethel Brown and Mildred Jewell, OF
the domestic science class, gave three
course breakfast this morning at o'oO'
Messrs Davey, Dunn Callahan, rope,
MeCracken and Jewell were present
as invited guests and enjoyed the oc.
casion very much This is the thlrd
time members of this class have served
70 outside guests in this way, and those
who are invited always consider them
selves fortunate indeed.
High school closed last Friday IN
memory of little Helen Dueker, who
had hosts of friends among us.
Several students are absent from
their places this week, owing to sick
ness.
We were favored Monday morning
by splendid talk from DR.. Pope. The
Doctor is always interesting to listen
to. but he was unusually so on this oc-
easion. The deep interest of the stu
dents in his subject was shown by the
close attention and vigorous applause
which they gave him.
Mr.. Jepson, of Washington, D. c.,
came in also during the day and made
some instructive remarks relating 10
the land grant bin now before the y.
$. House of Representatives. hls talk
was very convincing, and it would
seem as though Nevada deserves Fed
erai aid in education commensurate
with that already given other states.
Mr.. Martin, former student and
athlete at the University of Illinois,
came upon invitation last Friday and
spent two days with the track team.
lie will be with us again this week.
Enthusiasm in tennis does not abate
in the least. The tournament in dou-
bles will close today and we shall at
once begin sitting down the material
for the formation of a team to repre-
sent the school at the annual meet at
Reno. There is an abundance of ex-
cellent material and is likely to be
sharp competition in making up the
team.

TOMORROW NIGHTS
FEATURE AT THE NIXON

At the Nixon tomorrow night Will
liam Fox will present Valeska Suratt
the red rose of the Great White Way
New York's dazzling sunburst, in the
sensational photoplay of New York
life, "The Soul of Broadway a strik-
ing presentation of modern New York
life, written and produced by Herbert
Brenon.
William E. Shay, one of the most
popular and versatile of screen stars,
heads the noted east of players appear
ing in support of Valeska Suratt.
Nothing that quite equals the nov
city and lavish expensiveness of many
of the scenes in this photoplay has been
displayed through the medium of the
motion picture camera since the max
ing of the first crude "fiickers. "
Valeska Suratt is probably the most
screen and is known to theatregoers
the country over as the fashion plate
of the dramatic profession. In "The
Soul of Broadway she wears over
$50 gowns, some daringly and uniquely
simple; others that are calculated to
make the feminine portion of her spec
tators break into astonished exclama-
tions when they see them. 1t is esti-
mated that in "The Soul of Broad
way' Miss Suratt changes her gar
ments with every forty feet of film.
Stage folks are no more superstitious
than other people, or at least they say
so. Nevertheless, they can discover
more evil portents in daily life than
most other people, as witness the fol
lowing: Director Herbert Brenon, VINO
produced "The Soul of Broadway, ~
had erected an immense outdoor stage
on which was reproduced the interior
of the famous Hall of Chance, which
the Partisan police recently closed. The
walls. floor and stairs are formed of
bling paraphernalia. When Valeska
Suratt saw the set she expressed her
self as being very pleased with its eff
fectiveness.
In the first scene in which the set
was used, about so people are grouped
about the various tables. The scene
has been rehearsed over and over again
in the sweltering sun. All is in readi-
ness. The orchestra is playing. CAN
right!' cries the director. "Go!" The
cameras turn. The action is on. And
"Wait a minute" cried Miss Suratt,
'wait minute. | can Il go on. Look! -
There, in the direction in which she
was pointing, was large wall panel
on which was painted the Death Card,
the Ace of Spades. "I IN not supersti-
tious," said Miss Valeska Suratt,
"but-'
There is no Ace of Spades in "The
Soul of Broadway"
