A Clean Campaiyn

With election coming within a
few days the hopes Of the candi-
dates will soon be realized, that
is, for some of them. So sar the
campaign has been conducted in
Fallon County with very little
mud singing, but possibly many
wild and eleventh hour rumors
will come to US before we cast
our ballot. A story that is cir
cnlated at the last minute should
be disregarded, providing it's pur-
pose is to take advantage of any
one particular candidate. We
have ~refrained from singing
mud and do not this week come
forth with any so-called new
political dope" but we have had
occasion many times to reject
articles written purposely to Of
fend some candidate of the op-
posing party and also our own.
To the end we intend to so en-
press ourselves that the intelli.
gcnce of the voters of Fallon
county will not be questioned.
We believe nearly every voter
has made up his mind how he is
going to vote on local candidates
and that the result next Tuesday
will retain F'allon County in the
democratic column.

loans that the land banks soon will be
making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other agency would make
on a 6lO-acre Kinkaid claim was ST.
900. The commission deducted from
this left the farmer $3.50. He paid In
terest at from 8 to 10 per ent for five
years on $ $1,000, making his average
net interest rate from II to Is per

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 1.
This talk Of big salaries in
the movies is mostly bunk. In
vestigation here, where Is per
cent OF all photoplays are made,
shows that the stipends range
from almost insignificant wages
to SOME large salaries. MOST
OF THE BIG SALARIES ARE
MYTHICAL - the dreams OF
press agents or of the players
themselves. Where one actor
makes 500 week, 100 others
are lucky to get IS day. Many
get as little as 1896. In the ag-
gregate, salaries paid to screen
players are not much greater
than salaries paid In other walks
of life.
The expense that movie
player is under, especially an ac-
tress, Is appalling. Dorothy
DaDlton, who stars In two dollar
films for Thomas Ince, gets a
salary OF $3.50 per week (not
$4,000. This can be taken rs
a pretty fair estimate of stars
salaries. with the exception of
Mary Pickford. the highest paid
actress on the screen, and a few
others. mostly stars taken from
the legitimate drama because
their names bring great prestige
