BERNHARDT SAYS LACK OF
CHARM is CAUSE OF DIVORCE

Madame Sarah Bernhardt, the great
French actress, in a signed article in
the November issue of Harper's Bazaar,
attributes the numerous divorces that
have come into the courts of late years
to lack of charm in the woman con-
cerned
eff I stood at the threshold of life.
says Nine. Barnhardt. asking OF II
something with which to buy happi-
ness, u should beg for charm. For II
one has charm. she will be loved. And
a woman must have love to be happy
Beauty does not matter. II woman
has charm she can secure whatever
she wants-love, success, power"
But the Divine Sarah also says that
this invaluable quality can be culti-
waited. and her prescription in Har-
per's Bazar reveals the secret.

JOE Ward LOVES
THE REALCOUNTRY'

Many of our readers know Joe
Ward, prospector who has footed
1t, with his burros, over more miles of
desert and mountain trails in Cali
fornia and Nevada than any other man
living. This clipping from the Los
Angeles Examiner of last Friday indi-
Gates that he is likely to be in the
millionaire class. and is Indifferent
to his good fortune. Says the Ex-
aminer:
Somewhere in California is a man
who does not know he is a millionaire
and he probably does not care If he is.
The man is Joe Ward, for thirty
seven years a prospector on the Mo
jave and other deserts of California.
A couple of months ago Ward hitched
up his burro team, after he had won
court fight in San Bernardino in
yolving mining claims near Ludlow,
and started for the only country he
knows.
But. look here!" exclaimed Attor-
neys Hert and Werner, when the old
prospector announced he was on his
way. but did not know just where.
You have a great thing out there.
You must do something with it"
II know it. but | want to get back
to the real country" said Ward-and
he vanished into the desert.
Today the attorneys, acting as
Wards agents, signed contract
which carries with it minimum Of
s175,000 royalty to Ward during the
next two years. The property has
many millions of dollars worth of
celestite or strontium, needed for ex-
plosives in war.
buyer. will at once build a 212-mile
railroad and install steam shovels.
He guarantees to take out at least
$1,000 tons in two years. Ward gets
SO ton net.
The Du Pont Powder Company has
contracted for 5000 tons with Dane
Burks, who sued Ward and succeeded
in having awarded to him only small
portion of the deposit.
During the trial in San Bernardino
Ward wrote to this office expressing
his repugnance for cities and their
crowds, and telling of his wish to be
free to go out into Gods country,
the deserts and hills, again. He wrote
of his celestite deposit, one of the
many discoveries he has made in his
thousands OF miles of out-of-doors
pleasuring-for that is what his trav-
els are to Joe Ward. Probably no
wealth that could be piled up would
tempt him from the trails and open
country; for it is pursuit, not posses
sion. and the freedom of out-of-doors
that appeals to him.
Joe Ward was overtaken the first
of this week at Higgins Well. in the
Mojave desert, by c. II. Churchill
who was seeking him to acquaint him
with his good luck.

LOOK WHO'S HERE!
BIG BEAUTY SHOW

Anna Held, famous French star of
musical comedy, is coming to Winnie
mucca next Friday, November 2. She
will appear at the Nixon Opera House
in her latest musical comedy success,
Follow Me-" Such is the announce
ment made today by H. C. Oastler,
manager of the opera house, follow
ing visit to the city yesterday of
Connie Miles, California and New York
newspaper man and business manager
for the celebrated actress of naughty
eyes and milk-bath fame, who enjoys
the distinction of being one of the
best-known women in the world.
Anna Held has been a sensation in
America since she first sang her fam
Gus song, II Just Can't Make My Eyes
Behave" bringing out that this dainty
French star has the largest and most
remarkable eyes imaginable. With
her own fascination and wonderful
gowns, she will bring to Winnemucca
her production just as it was staged
on Broadway. 1t is promised that
not single thing is missing on the
road tour. This promise, don't forget,
includes the famous Anna Held girls,
whose beauty, charm and graceful
figures put them at the top as a beauty
ehorus-a reputation which all Anna
Held shows have enjoyed.
"Winnemucca is to be congratulated
on getting such an attraction" said
Mr. Miles yesterday, "and further that
she has such a progressive manager
as Mr.. Oastler. Few managers would
have been able to get such an attrac-
ton for a city the size of Winnemucca
though it must be said that Mr.. CAST
ler has been considerably favored IN
his efforts by the fact that Winnie
mucca is acknowledged the liveliest
little city for the higher-class theat-
rical attractions in the United States
and lends a patronage to such as will
permit of them playing here. How
ever, Mr.. Oastler's connections have
been the chief means of Winnemucca
getting Anna Held. / have known him
personally for some few years; and
knowing him, it is only natural that
I should have lent him what assist
ance l have been able to give"

NEVADA Is GOING
OVER TOP TODAY

Winnemucca finished her subscrib-
ing to the second Liberty Loan today
with a rush. Each of the local banks
was showed under" with the pur-
chase money, and clerks will prob
ably work late, like good soldiers.
According to figures as they appeared
AT 2:3O o'clock this afternoon, the
First National Bank is senidng in
total subscriptions to the amount of
sl52.90O. while the Winnemucca State
Bank & Trust Company is handling
s4765O. That's a total of a little
more than 100000 for Winnemucca-
which looks fairly good in print.
That's not alive can beat it for
the next loan il the war continues.
Despite the fact that the big Tono-
pah mining companies have not placed
Liberty Bond subscriptions in Nevada
thus cutting down the estimated total
by about 100000. the State is going
over the top" today with possibly
100000 to spare, according to esti-
mates made last night by Campaign
Manager Lennon at Reno.
The official reports give total of
5000. leaving nearly 100000 yet
to be raised More than 100000 has
been subscribed that has not been
reported, and the other 100000 is
coming through small subscriptions.
"The campaign is a success. / am
sure" said Manager Lennon to the
Reno Gazette. but until yesterday
morning we had relied upon the big
mining companies at Tonopah to sub
scribe a large amount Information
received later Is to the effect that the
larger companies will not subscribe a
cent in this State, but will place all
their subscriptions in Pittsburgh.
"The success of this campaign may
be attributed to the work of women
and children of the State. They have
secured thousands of small subscrip-
tions which otherwise would not have
come in, and they have made the loan
a very popular one. II has been a
campaign of education on their part.
and the people OF the State. especially
the small subscribers. have had the
loan explained to them so thoroughly
that they were only too willing to help
the government.
From the totals so far made up,
the Ely district has increased its sale
OF bonds several hundred thousand
dollars over the subscription to the
first loan. Winnemucca has almost
doubled its subscription. and the
smaller communities have also in
creased theirs in many instances"
The Christian Science church of
Reno on Thursday subscribed s4,100
through the Boy Scouts. The ID. c.
Wheeler Estate subscribed for $500
and the Stockgrowers & Ranchers
Bank of Reno subscribed for $4,000
In addition to selling several bonds OF
$4,000 denomination and smaller.
Amity Lodge I.O.0.F. subscribed for
a $500 bond.
The Boy Scouts of Reno are said to
stand sixteenth in the United States
in the amount secured by them for
the loan. Each member of the troop
was expecting to add several thou
sands of dollars TO his total today, IN
an effort to put Reno further up the
list among the larger cities OF the
country. BY request of the Treasury
Department the Boy Scout campaign
has been continued until tonight. SO
far the Reno boys had yesterday sold
266 bonds totaling $133,750.
