MUST EXPLAIN
NEED OF FUNDS

AT meeting Of the board of rev.
enue yesterday loan OF 100000 was
granted to the commissioners OF Elko
County, on the grounds that the taxes
were insufficient to meet the added
expense that they will have to meet.
At a later meeting Of the board,
however. the action was rescinded, as
1t was learned that in the treasury Of
the county there was, on December
31st, $145.000. and until the county
commissioners show what disposition
is to be made of that amount and
satisfy them that they are in absolute
need of an additional $4,000 they will
not advance to the county that
amount. The resolution of the county
commissioners Is good only until
March LIST OF this year and action will
have to be taken before that time

WHAT RURAL DELIVERY
HAS ACCOMPLISHED

The rural delivery is indeed
a boon to the country. It's
measureless advantages can
not be estimated, nor need the
cost of maintenance be consid-
cred, for it has broadened the
field of industrial opportunity,
touched as if with magic pow
er the possibilities of human
endeavor, and transformed
conditions to a degree almost
marvellous. It has brought the
printed page, the great edu-
Gator of civilization, daily to
the home; has brought spe-
cial delivery almost to the
door; has secured good roads
and maintains them by Official
interest and concern; it has at
tracted the attention of the va
.rious States to this question
and obained results; it has
made farm lands more valua-
bic and contributed to increas-
ed production it has abridged
time by rapid communication;
frightened all environment,
and made ordinary dull rou-
tine interesting and attractive
it has lessened toll by the in
structive suggestions which
Government experiment and
inquiry affords, and has made
the home a center of influence
and crowns domestic life with
all that makes for peace and
contentment.

TALKS WITH SCREEN
r u GIRLS
By Beatriz Mi,:leiena.

Eevery girl who has had as
pirations to become a picture
star, has probably sometime
come upon an advertisement
that reads after this fashion:
Be a motion picture
performer and earn from $50
to $500 weekly. No expert
ence necessary. Full particu-
lars by mail.
Maybe she has answered it
in a burst of enthusiasm, and
in due time found it to be the
bait of some so-called school
of motion picture acting. She
DOUBTLESS received an elabo-
rate prospectus, breathing in
naive confidence the secrets to
the golden Ell Dorado of the
motion picture profession.
Things were painted in a bril-
liant hue, well intended to
whet the appetite for a course
of instruction, incidently Of
fered at a moderate tuition
fee. And who is to blame for
her gullibility? Were not in
stances, almost without num-
Der cited of women who had
succeeded in pictures just as
the prospectus promised she
would succeed? Undeniably
the entire matter had a tone of
FEASIBILITY. That is the pros
pectus mans business.
If she took the course, how
ever, she has by now profited
largely in experience, if not in
the art of motion picture act
ing. She can tell you better.
than I how empty were the
sweet promises Of that pros
pectus. They erected for her
a magnificent palace of dreams
but it is shattered now and her
pocketbook has suffered too.
Worse still, unless she be a
girl of unusual metal, she is
broken in spirit. If she had ex-
pected less, she might have ac-
complished more. But she ex-
pected too much and the BIT
ter disappointment of it has
wrung out the ambition she
once had. That is one reason
why the fake school of motion
picture acting is such a crime.
However, like many other
forms Of crime it continues to
flourish. Nearly every city
has its fake schools now. It is
merely a case of a lot Of scoun-
drels, more or less schrewd in
their villany, trying to capital
ize the motion picture craze
that has swept the country,
and especially the craze, found
in some quarters, to become a
motion picture actor or actress.
Please, my "screen-struck'
friends, beware Of these pros
pectuses and their rosy prom
Uses. They can bring you moth
ing but disappointment.
