VERY GOOD EDDIE
NEXT AT PARSONS

No musical comedy presented in
New York in the past ten years re
ceived such glowing praise from the
newspaper reviews as very Coca
Eddie The critics WED with each
other in the use of superlatives to
describe its many Fascinating qualities,
The public evidently agreed with the
printed comments. Very Good Ed
die running in New York for more
than a year. The same was the
case in Philadelphia, Boston and Chi
cago. and local reviewers were just
as generous in their praise when the
piece appeared here last season and
scored one of the biggest hits in a
long time. Playgoes will therefore be-
pleased to learn that Very Good Ed
die is to return to Parsons theater
on Thursday and Friday, bringing
even a better cast than was seen last
year. as MANY of the original play
ers have been added and with the
really sWagger fashion chorus which
charmed Broadway for a year.
Maclyn ArbUckle is membered by
playgoers for his virile American
comedy portraYals as Hon. Jim Hack
Ter III George AIDES '"rhe Country
Chairman" and Slim Jim Hoover IN
THE Round Up but this season he
has added to his laurels by his ap-
pearance in two English roles, the
first as the, Great John Tarleton in
Bernard Shaw's 'Misalliance' and
the second as Mr. Tudway, the jeal-
Gus husband, in the all-star produc-
ton of Lord and Lady Algy," which
will be seen at Parsons theatec
Saturday, matinee and evening, with
William Faversham, Maxine Elliott,
Irene 1'cnw1ck and Arbuckle in the
leading roles, supported by re-

Texan and next to his acting he is
famous for his ranching. which he
still INDUCES in when he is not in the
theater, 1t is interesting to note that
both his big successes this season
have been under the management Of
William Faversham. and both have
been in English comedies in which
he has played English characters

DANISH CATARRH
Breathe Hyomei for Two Minutes and
Stuffed Up Head Will Get Relief.

Stuffed Up Head Will Get Relief.
If you want to get relief from
catarrh, cold in the head or from an
irritating cough in the shortest time
breathe Hyomei.
1t will clean out your head in two
minutes and allow you to breathe
freely.
Hyomei will end a cold in one day,
it will relieve you of disgusting
snuffleS, hawking, splitting and often
sive breath in week.
Hyomei is made chiefly from a
soothing, healing germ killing anti
septic, that comes from the eucalyptus
forests of inland Australia where
catarrh, asthma and consumption
were never known to exist.
Hyomei is pleasant and easy to
breathe Just pour a few drops into
the hard rubber inhaler, use as di-
rected and relief is almost certain.
A complete Hyomei outfit, including
inhaler and one bottle of Hyomei,
costs but little at druggists every
where and at Clark & Brainerd's drug
store. If you already own an in
haler you can get an extra bottle of
Hyomei at druggists.

upon my door however, was scarcely

1t was late in the afternoon, and
Dicky had not yet returned from the
long walk he had taken after our
memorable talk beside "cur" brook.
Because my thoughts were full Of
him, my first feeling was one of fear
that something had happened to him.
But Katies first words dispelled that
alarm. She tiptocd into the room,
behind her, and then, putting her lips
close to my ear, whispered her tidings
dramatically:

But Jim was in a training camp,

Facing Shortage Of HGrdGrS

Scarcity of sheep herders and the
fact that expert herders are demand
ing as high as $3.50 a month is said
to be causing considerable %apprehen-
sion among sheepmen all over the
State. because it threatens to result
in the flocks being neglected to a con-
siderable extent. The draft and en-
listments are said to be responsible
in a large measure for the scarcity
of expert herders.
Trouble has been experienced be-
tween sheepmen and herdersi in Hum
boldt County according to report.
Sheepmen say that prior to the
war herders were receiving from $40
to $45 per month and now are being
paid from $50 to 500 and in some
instances as high as $3.50 a month.
Last week at Minden some Of the
prominent sheepmen of the western
part of the State held a conference
to discuss the situation and may call
on the Government for help.

In reply to a request for first-hand
information, Editor Stenniger of the
Elko Free Press has informed The
Silver State that in spite of the fact
that the Reno newspapers are giving
wide publicity to an Indian uprising
in that county, the officers there de-
clare they know nothing about the
unrest among the Indians, and give
but little credence to the story.
According to San Francisco papers,
Rev. George H. Greenfield has been
arrested by the Federal authorities
on a charge of violating the espionage
act, and is now in prison. Greenfield
was formerly pastor of the Presby-
