first child" not a FIRST child ?
This is the question that has been
causing Sergeant r. X. Mergenthal,
of the local U. S. Marine Corps re-
cruiting station to spend sleepless
nights lately.
George Hadley, of Kansas City, APP
piled to Mergenthal for enlistment
When Hadley informed him that he
was married and had two children
Mergenthal told him that he would
draw $3.50 for a family allotment
namely SIS for his wife, $40 for his
first child and $3.50 for his secon(
child. But Hadley insisted on $35
"How do you figure that? queriet
Mergenthal.
well, my youngsters are twins, Sc
how are you going to figure the frs
child. They both come under the $lC
head" answered Hadley,

after puzzling over it for few hours
The delicate question has been pu
up to the authorities at Washington,

ATTORNEY GENERAL
STANDS UP.

The Carson City News, Thursday
edition, has this squib, which Mr..
Thatcher's brother attorneys seem TO
think was too good to keep.
"All Carsonites will remember
Blanchard, better known as "Blanch."
He followed the trade of painter in
Carson for quarter of a century,
and moved to Yerington about twenty
years ago. He has been Justice of
the Peace there for about twelve
years, consecutively. Last Monday
Attorney General Thatcher was one OF
the attorneys in civil case before his
honor The Attorney General adj
dressed the Court from his chair once.
He tried it twice, but did not get
through-didn't go over the top, as
it were.
Judge Blanchard "Mr. Thatcher,
when you address THIS court, you
will please arise" Mr.. Thatcher did.

The drive that should have netted

have our other obligations.
