OUR IDEA OF DESERVING WOMAN

Our fair but sinful friend Mary
Magdalene is again leading subject
in pulpit and print discussion.
Apologists for her are fondly in
voking the sympathetic comment OF
the Divine Master rs recorded in holy
writ. They seek to interpret His
words as condoning her offense.
Which is, we hold, an effort TO pros
titute the meaning of His compassion.
1t was a contrite. remorseful and re-
pentant Mary Magdelene who came TO
the Lord.
She was not wearing SO shoes or
demanding select work at a minimum
wage of 500 per week as her price for
quitting sin.
She did not ask virtue to bid against
prostitution as a purely commercial
proposition.
The Lord forgave a penitant wom-
an. He never condoned her sin,
though he did invite self-satisficd
hypocrites to prove that they were any
better than the woman.
Much OF this sobosity over prosti'
tutes and speculation as TO why
they are prostitutes. is wasted effort
and idle speculation.
Most tiresome OF all is the ques-
ton as to whether the painted crea-
lures can earn living in decency.
All over this country there are
pure and wholly good women who
daily lay their tribute of hard labor
on the altar of virtue. Not only are
they earning their own livelihoods,
but also the maintenance of families
left dependent on them.
Women as noble as saints in spirit
and as brave as knights pray and
battle to roof the home and provide
its bread.
Why not turn our sympathetic at
tention to these women. They do
not wear so shoes, but their feet
place the imprint of virtue of soul
and body on the homes threshold. In
the street and in the marks where
honest toll bids for its daily breaC
virtuous women bespeak the honor
able attention of manly men.--Stock
ton (Cal) Mail.

DECREASE IN LIVE
STOCK INDUSTRY

The following address was deliver
ed by ]. NJ. Fulton. Thursday, Jan. 25,
at the Farmers course at the state
university:
Mr.. President:
That the production and marketing
of livestock has been for many years,
Is now, and will remain, the greatest
single industry of Nevada, all will
admit:
That the industry in waneing is not
generally known, as the number of
animals marketed annually has been
close to normal up TO the present
time. but 1917 will show a decrease
of not less than 10 per cent as COM
pared with 1916 and indications are
that the decrease will continue to be
apparent for several years.
In looking for a reason, we find
that conditions are constantly grow
ing less favorable for wintering stock
on the range. Many years of brows-
ing has in many portions of the state.
practically made edible range a thing
of the past; also, that bunch grass
has ceased to be on ranges. where at
one time 1t was found in abundance.
For these reasons, livestock men must,
to prevent great loss, seek winter pas
ture or hay for their stock. To do
this they must buy hay TO winter
ri, ha nF n
part of the state, ship their stock TO
the hay producing and feeding points.
or to California for pasture, in either
case shipping the stock back to the
range in the spring.
The growing necessity for winter
feeding has caused such demand
and high price for alfalfa hay. to-
gether with the railroad company's
charge for round trip OF livestock.
that it has made many of the live
stock men of the state feel that live
| stock growing Is business to get out
of. This is shown by the fact that
there are six very large live stock
ranches for sale in eastern Nevada.
The problem to be solved is TO find
something that will grow on the home
Iranch that will provide winter feed
for live stock. Perhaps there is M
way that this can be done but do be
lieve 1t is well worth the study of ou
university to attempt to solve thu
problem, thus assisting to retain ir
this state in full measure the live stocl
industry.
Permit me to refer to the recen
Bulletin of Mr.. Norcross on "Swee
Clover" which has grown so album
dainty for thirty years in Mason Val

This, we believe should be undertaken
by the agricultural department of OIL

UNCLE SAM STILL HAS
LARGE AREA OF LAND

Secretary Lanes report on the de
partmcnt OF the interior indicates that
Uncle Sam still has large public
domain that Is available for agrlcul.
ture. More than 100000. 900 acres OF
public land, although largely in the
arid sections OF the country. and there.
fore, calling for irrigation, are waiting
for enterprlSlng agricultm'sts. In
spite fthese imposing figures the
view is takch that in less than ten
years probably no public land Of con.
sequence win be available for the
bomesteaders. in the fiscal year more
than 100000 acres OF public land
were taken up. The absorption Of
these vast tracts, however, need I'm.
pose no bardships, as the require
ments fthe country call for intensive
rather ,han extensive farming.
