Nevada State News

A stranger, in attempting to hold
up Frank Mendoza at his sheep camp
in Kings river valley. northern Hum
boldt County, got decidedly the
worst of it in the fight which ensued.
The sheriff and district attorney were
notified by telephone to come after
the injured man and bring him to
Winnemucca.
Alex Hay of Elko lost several valu-
able chickens last week and moved
his bed out in the hen house to keep
watch. The intruder returned about
midnight recently, softly entered.
and then explained. while looking
into the muzzle of a gun. that it was
all a mistake, that he was simply
looking for someone, but had gotten
into the wrong yard. He was marched
to the Jail and has demanded a jury
trial.
A correspondent of the Elko Free
Press, writing from Aura. in the
northern part of the county. says the
losses of live stock last Winter and
this Spring have been extremely
heavy. He claims that thousands of
cattle have persisted and are perish
ing from sheer starvation. The en-
tire herds of many stockmen have
been lost. Old settlers say the Win
ter was the hardest since that of
1880. Snow in the Aura section
is still three feet deep on the level.
Stages are laid up and mail is carried
by men on snowshoes.

Of persons who can successfully play

more harm than good.
Don't try to fix things up between

thing. Don't intervene In the affairs OF

peoples children. They won't thank
you. Nobody thanks the meddler, no
matter how well intentioned she may be.
? Now. to the humane soul who hates
to sec things go wrong when a word
or two will apparently set them right,
this Withholding Of interest seems most
selfish. But it really isn't. 1t is the
most c~onsiderate thing you can do
sometimes to shut your eyes and let
things take their natural course. They
will right themselves In time. and you

good natured meddling.

THE GIRL ON THE FARM.
Why Not Give Her Some Attention a.
Well an the Bow

Well as the 5oy1
In recent years the problem of keep
Ing the boy On the farm has been
thought serious enough to arouse con
siderable discussion.
The farmer has been told that he
ought to provide the most modern agri
cultural machinery In order to obviate
the hard labor Of farming and keep
the boys interested; that he should
send his boys. to a good school of sci
entiic agriculture; that he should set
aside a certain portion of the farm for
the boy and permit him to keep the
profit from his operation, and he has
been told many other things. In all of
which the Importance Of the boy to the
farm was emphasized and plans sug
gested to make his lot a little easier
and promising. The county agent
has interested himself In the problem
by organizing boys corn growing and
other agricultural contests.
But how about keeping the girl on
the farm? The girl does not ordinarily
do the heavy field work, but her serv
ices in housekeeping. cooking and mend
ing as well as in ALTERNATING, milk
ing. caring for garden and chickens,
which tasks usually fall to her lot. are
surely valuable enough to warrant the
greatest consideration. And yet dis
cussion Of the problem of keeping the
girl on the farm Is misrepresentation

HOPE WAR IS CLOSING

The successes of the month have
caused British and French news
papers to print stories with flaring
headlines, such as "War Drawing to
a Close" They do not base this be-
lief wholly on the great Battle of the
Aisne. They point to other signs;
the entrance of the United States
into the war, and the strengthening
effect this has had on the Allies, the
disheartening effect on the Germans.
The condemnation by the whole neu-
trail world is at last causing the most
stubborn Germans to doubt the JUS
tice of their own cause. Other signs
are the reported Illness of the
Kaiser, who seems to have gone into
seclusion; the demands for peace and
a republic, openly made in the Reich
stag; the known wish of Austria,
Turkey and Bulgaria to make sep
arate peace; the bread riots in Ber-
lin; the discomfort of the German
people over the unpleasant contrast
between a despotic Germany and a
free Russia; the burning of towns
by German armies in Rumania. in.
dicating that they expect to abandon
that country.
