PARENT-TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION

The Parent Teachers Association
of Yerington met in the kindergarten
room of the Grammar School on last
Friday afternoon, with large number
of parents and teachers present. The
society elected Mrs. J. p Perazzo "a
their delegate to the Ninth Annual
Convention of the Nevada Federation
of Women's Clubs to be held in Cold
field October 18th to 18th. Mrs.
Perazzo was requested to bring back
to the society any new idea or plans
along the work of Mothers or Par
ent's- Teachers Clubs, and to acquaint
the club with the work of the Fedora
ton of interest to such clubs, also TO
present the report of this club for
the past year.
Miss Emma He'd, was chairman OF
the program for the October meet
ing, the subject being, when Your
Child First Goes To School" The
chairman first gave talk to parents
on what the parents especially the
mother owes TO the school in the
matter of having the child attend
regularly and be prompt. She gave
the instance OF one boy, who in 1914
was absent 81 out of los school days,
while in 1915 the same lad missed
40 days out of $50 days. She ex-
planned that in the beginning years
every lesson presented new words
and phonetics and if your child miss
ed a day or even a half day, he lost
those words, it being hardly right to
expect to teacher to give the lesson
over for each absentee out of class
or to hold those who were present
back to catch up what the absent
ones missed.
Then Miss He'd gave a talk upor
the phonetics and their value in
teaching the beginner to read. She
explained that one vowel and few
consonants were taught at time
Then she told how the action words
were taught as sight words, by the
children illustrating the word by an
action. She had present some pupils
from this years class, and gave them
a new phonetic and a new reading
lesson to demonstrate to the mother
just how the first reading lessons were

the absorbing footlght romance Of Marie Nordstrom

way to love. fame and fortune via the stage. and
who will be seen at the BelAsco Theater next veek

1t was during my appearance under the
management Of Henry E. Dixey in 'The
Devil" that my fairy god-mother again
waved her wand to bring more happiness
into my life; when Dan Cupid took a
hand in the game.
If those all-seeing eyes of Mr.. Dixey
took account of love at the same time
that they discerned my fitness for a pro-
fessional career he made no sign, for
never a word entered our association for
several years after he offered me my FIRST
opportunity in my vaudeville appearance
with him.

HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline, but do not compel -

lhuESuays NOVemDef I'd, 1910.
All the stars frown on human en-
deavor today. Saturn, Uranus and Nep-
tune are strongly adverse. while Mars
has evil power.
A crisis of some sort appears to be
foreshadowed. This may be a new inter-
national complication more serious than
those that have preceded 1t.
During the next administration at
Washington a Cabinet minister has the
forecast of extraordinary official burdens
which may bring him into national dis
credit.
On this day the aged come under a sin
lister sway that increases mortality.
Farmers may meet with heavy losses
while this conf1guration prevails. Storms
of great violence are to be expected in
the West.
There is a sign read as indicative Of
trouble on the border between the Uni
ted States and neighboring country,
probably Canada.
For 1915 New York City has the prog
nostication Of extreme prosperity and de-
velopment, with attendant increase in
the cost of living. but catastrophies with
loss of life, crimes of extraordinary vio-
lence and corruption in high places are
foretold by the seers.
A national bereavement or a death of
widespread interest is indicated for next
month.
Mars is in a place denoting anxiety
ever war rumors. depression concern
ing the public health and difficulties in
connection with the appointment OF gov
ernment employees.
In Washington, D. c.. social affairs will
be marked by changes in customs and by
dramatic events that will cause gossip.
An envoy or diplomat from the Orient
will bring an important message to the
President just before the holidays. 1t is
predicted.
Japan has ruling star that promises
year of brilliant achievement. Alli-
ances or agreements with the United
States are indicated.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have the
augury Of rather troublesome year.
Young widows will have chances to
marry.
Children born on this day are likely to
be steady and persevering. These SUBJ
1ects Of Sagittarius make the most re-
liable employees.
