INFESTED
WITH FORTUNE TELLERS

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 3.-Many
centuries ago Saul paid visit TO the
witch of Endor and got small Comfort
thereby. But that witch's descendants
still flourish and the city of Bucnos
Aires has been overrun with their
printed offers TO call up the prophet
Samuel, or any other potent spirit for
the miserable fee of one paper peso;
gratis for the poor OH Sundays and
holidays.
The Lord Mayor of Bucnos Aires
has finally decided to rid the city of
these soothsayers, for however little
they may appeal 10 educated people
and especially members OF the north
ern races, their abslred claims are
taken very seriously by the 1Iiiieratc
poor of the city, most of whom come
from Southern Europe. Amt rnc sup.
erstition of the better class Argentine
woman makes her an easy prey for
these harpieS.
Love may make the world go round
but in Latin-Amcrican country it
appears to create tremendous
amount of what engineers term "slip"
in the process. Which is just where
the fortune teller comes onto the
scene. The Latin maiden begins TO
discuss love and jealousy in their
particularly violent forms long ere
she is out of short skirts. Among
the lower orders, nine-tenths of her
time is devoted either to catching Il
fiance, proving him unfaithrul when
she has caught him, or endeavoring
to change him for something better.
So that the consultation rooms of the
fortune tellcrs are seldom empty.
There is Il side of the fortune tell.
ing business in Argentina which can
not be discussed in the public prints.
although the police records relative
thereto are sufficiently full and con-
yincing TO remove all fear of an ac-
tion for libel.
Very seldom do the victims care
to appear in court, though there was
a case the other day wherein Il "lady"
consulted one of these moral counsel
lors and was told that her wish would
be granted il she would but bring
5000 pesos and seal IL up in an
envelope in the presence of the di.
vincr, TO the accompaniment of mys-
tic incantations. This was done and
the envelope returned TO the dupc
with in..'iuctions 10 open ii five days
later, when the charm would work.
Needless to say, Il did work most
effectuaIly from the fortune tcilcrs
viewpoint the envelope being filled
with bits of paper when II was
opened. 1t is an old trick, but the
fact that 1t still can be worked so
successfully for so large n sum would
indicate that the Lord Mayor Is jus
tifed in his attempt to clear away
these daring practitioners.
One of their best paying draws"
Is their advertised ability Of bringing
people together from afar. 1t ap-
pears perfectly ridiculous to anyone
of average intelligence, but II Is u
real scourgc and social pest upon the
lower orders, especially women and
girls, often without any real Drotcc.
ton from relatives and friends, and
therefore easy prey TO such manoeu.
yrcs. II is this feature Of the bust.
ness which has caused the Lord Mayor
TO decree that Bucnos Aires shall no
longer be the base OF such operations
and the mystic messengers of the
spirits are folding up their tents and
sncaking away in the night TO escape
the mailed fist of the law.

LABOR SHORTAGE
NOT FELT HERE
Farm Help Specialist Working
Says Needs Have Been
Filled

Contrary to the fears entertained by
many. Nevada has not suffered from
Il shortage of farm help this summer.
it was announced yesterday by HoI-
brook Working. farm help specialist.
That the situation has been so favor.
able. has been due in large measure
to the efforts Of the state committee
on food resources and the United
states department of agriculture. The
report OF the work done in placing
farm help for the month of July
shows II very crcditablr record, he
said.
Remedy Shortages
Actual shortages of help have arisen
in four different localities and have
been promptly rrmcdicd in each ease.
1923 men having been sent into the
four regions in question. The region
i'll which the shortage WAS most seri-
GUS was sent 81 men in the course of
the month.
Provide Way to Get Help
The sending of men into localities
where there was shortage Of farm
help WAS only Il part of the work
done through the system established.
Perhaps even more good waS done b.
providing an easy way for the farm.
ers TO get the help needed when il was
10 be had locally. aS was usually the
case. Twelve local farm help agencies
have been established. covering all the
more important agricultural sections
of the northern part of the state.
These agencies provide places to
which men looking for work can
com" and find il quickly and where
farmers needing help can quickly oh.
tain II either from among them avail
able locally or by having the agent
ask to have additional men sent in.
Sixty Men a Week
The only figures at present avail
able as 10 the number of men placed
by the local agents are those given
by Mr.. Van AIstync, the agent at Yer.
ingion, who for some time was pIar-
ing about 60 mon II week
"a large part part of tur rrpdit ror
the successes of the work Is que 10
the local farm help agents. all of
whom are doing the work without
pay" said Working. "In practically
all cases they are doing excellent
work and are performing Il distinct
service in helping 10 bring about the
production of the large quantity of
food so necessary for The success Of
the United States and her allies.
Credit to McGee
Special credit is due to Mr.. Neil
McGcr. in charge Of the l.. S. Free
Employment Office at Reno. Working
declared.
'ln addition to supplying the 1919
men necessary iO remedy the labor
shortages in other parts Of the state.
hc has furnished the farmers in the
making Il total for the month of 203
men sent out for farm work alone
The prOmptnrss with which hc has
been able to get these men in all cases
is convincing proof of the efficiency Of
his Office. a very important feature
of his work is the quality of the men
sent out by him. For the most part
il is only men Of the better class who
go tO the employment niIic"s for work
ana Mr.. MCGcc makes il Il point TO
sen dnut only men whom he thinks
likely To be- able to- do the work sat

placed in the windows of homes
will be a feature of the Red Cross
membership drive, from Dec.17 to

Well Known
RanCher Webs

Of all the surprises we have had
for some time was this week when
we opened a letter from Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam McClatchie, now resid-
ing in Chicago, announcing the
happy union on Dec. LIST, of Mr..
Percival Curtiss Floyd to Miss Leila
Annette McClatchie, both of the
Tussler creek country.
Mr.. Floyd left for the east a
short time ago and it was suspect
ed by some at the time that some
thing was up. 1t will indeed be
pleasing news to P. Cs, many
bachelor friends to hear of him
getting married, so they can make
him a call when he returns and.
make things merry around the
ranch for a while, and have him
put up a big feed. Mr.. Floyd is
one of the most popular ranchers
known is this section and besides
owning quite a bunch of horses
has one of the finest claims in the
country.
The bride is a sister of E. L.
McClatchie of this place and a
very popular and highly accom-
plished lady. She at one time
taught in the Circle schools.
After an extended trip to the
Atlantic Coast Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd
will return to their ranch about
March goth, where they will make
their future home.

Jerusalem Cap
tured By British

London, Dec. 10.-Jerusalem
has fallen.
Capture of the holy city, Christ
ianity's most hallowed spot, by
General Allenby's British expedi-
tionary forces, was announced
here today by Bonar Law, chan
celled of the exchequer, in the
house of commons.
The capture of Jerusalem by
the British forces marks the end,
with two brief interludes, of more
than 1000 years possession of the
seat of the Christian religion by
the Mohammedans. For 673
years the Holy City has been I'M
disputed ownership of the Turks,
the last Christian ruler of Jerusa-
lem being the German emperor,
Frederick II, whose shortlived
domination lasted from 1929 to
1874.
Apart from its connection with
the campaign being waged against
Turkey by the British in Mesopo-
tamia the fall of Jerusalem was
the definite collapse of the long
protracted efforts of the Turks to
capture the Suez canal and invade
Egypt. Almost the first move
made by Turkey after her entr-
ance into the war was a campaign
against Egypt across the great
desert of Sinia peninsula.
Jerusalem's fate was sealed
when this British expeditionary
force on Nov. ! captured GAIA,
Immediately after taking the an
Gent city of Beersheba. General
Allenby sent his forces rapidly
north and a fortnight later they
took Jaffa, the olden city of Joppa
and seaport of Jerusalem.
