VALERA WANTS
FIVE MILLION
Sinn Fein Leader Will Use the
Money to Further the
Interests of the
IRISH NATIONAL GOVT


the Irish Republic as they say in
Dublin, announced yesterday that
the first bond issue of his unrecog-
nized government would be for one
million pounds sterling, or about
$5,OOO,OOO, and would be floated
half in Ireland and half abroad. lie
stated that the flotatior OF the loan
would be secondary enly tA the prime
object of compelling the United
States government, through the
force of public opinion, officially tc
recognize his republic" as such.
One interesting disclosure which
de Valera made yesterday, unwit-
tingly, was the fact that he left Ire
land on June 1. But he did not add
to this statement-it had been sand
wiched in between two bits of Irish
called to it; unless, of course, an ex-
tremely pleasant smile and a pro-
tracted stare out of the window can
be considered as additional facts.
Instantly, Professor de Valera
named the sum he sought to raise,
he was asked to explain the use to
which the money obtained in Ameri-
ca and elsewhere was to be put "by
the Sim Fein party"
Remember he replied, ''that
am not representing a party. The
money is not to be used for any par
ty, but for the development of the
Irish Commonwealth. We will have
to equip consulates and embassies in
the various countries, France and
Switzerland. The money will not be
used as former money raised in
America was used-for political
fights between parties. 1t will be used
for purely national purposes
DR.. de Valera was cautioned that
if he raised money in the United
national aspirations that it would be
violation of American laws and
might lead to serious complications
between this country and Great Bri-
tain.
''The law of humanity" he re-
piled lis more fundamental, and |
would appeal to that. When munic-
| ipal and International laws conflict
| with humanity, 1 regard them as no
| law"
The direct question:: 'Will Amer
lean money, obtained through bond
sales, be used to buy guns for the
| Irish Volunteers?' was then asked.
| ''It will be used for the Irish Re-
| public he answered somewhat
vaguely, and when light was sought
on whether this might be interpret
| ed as including the maintenance of a
military establishment, he supple
mented his statement by saying, "It
will be used for the full administra'
tion of the government of Ireland"
| DIR. de Valera denied most EN-
phatically that any foreign money
Russian or German" had ever beer
used in furthering the Sim Feir
movement. He was especially vigor
GUS in denying that any German
money had even found its way il
Ireland and thence into Sim Fei1
Golfers And when the professo
had settled all thoughts on that par
ticular topic, he was requested one
again to clear up the misapprehen
sions about his citizenship. He said
ST am an Irish citizen insofar as
am willing to lay down my life 70

AT THE PALACE THEATER
OCTOBER 22ND AND 23RD

A man does as he pleases and
thinks nothing of it. When woman
does as she pleases, even though il
be less than the man did, he thinks
a great deal of 1t. The wrong that
can be created by just thought in
the mind of a man is the idea be-
hind the fascinating story of "As a
Man Thinks" in which Leah Baird
is featured at the Palace Theater
on October 22nd and 23rd.
Written by Augustus Thomas for
the stage, this dean of American
playwrights has woven deft and
powerful tale about the subject of n
double standard Of morals. Frank
Clayton, staid business man and
good husband, was visiting in Paris
and doing the artists colony. He
saw no harm in his little Irritation
with Mimi, the model, though he
was anxious that his wife should not
know about 1t.
When a jealous suspicion of his
wife crosses his mind, instead of re-
membering his little affair, he ac-
cuses her of infidelity. 1t is double
standard of morals demonstrated
a standard made necessary because
In the virtue of women rests the well
fare of the world.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NOTES
Results of Physical Examinations In
the Fallon Schools

The tabulated results of the physi-
cal examinations recently given by
the teachers as required by law
show that Fallon and community is
4 healthful place in which to rear
children. The Fallon pupils are
overweight and freer from physical
defects than the average school
children throughout the United
States
The average percentage of physi-
cal defects of American school
children was ascertained by the ex-
animation of a half million school
pupils in different parts of the Unit
ed States. The percentage OF vari-
Gus defects in American school chill
dren will be designated hereinafter
by the term Ay.
Only 1854 per cent of Fallon ele-
mentary pupils have defective teeth.
This percentage is 1855 per cent
below the Av ASS per cent. With
regard to the eye. the average per-
eentage of defects is 1865 per cent
The standard Av. is 81 per cent. The
Fallon pupils have fewer eye de-
feets by 11.19 per cent than the av-
erage pupils In the United States
But Fallon pupils have somewhat
above the average number of ear de-
fects. Their average of ear defects
is 5.44 per cent against the stand
ard Av. of 4.7S per cent.

men, who reported the virtual dis
mantlement of his home erected on

Way also carried search warrants
for the premises of A. j. Poole and

FALLON LODGES UNDERTAKE
TO BUILD FRATERNAL HALL

Fallon's lodges, representing the

F. o. E. orders have set out to erect
a modern two story, class A building
on the Maine street realty jointly
owned by them, which is now part
tally encountered by the old wooden
structure known generally as New
River hall, which was among the
first buildings to be erected when
Fallon first aspired to the preroga-
tiyes of a county seat town. Com
mittees have been named by the Odd
Fellows and Knights of Pythias and
the third set of lodge workers will
probably be named by the Eagles at
an early meeting These will collab-
crate in the making of plans for the
proposed structure. the building of
which may be undertaken next
spring. The Fallon lodges own so
feet of choice frontage on Maine
street and it is the plan to erect
building that will embody several
fine ground floor storerooms and
make the second floor into one of
the finest lodge halls in the state.

PEOPLE FOR FIRsT-CLAss HOTEL

II now seems highly probable that
construction work on a first-elass

within q short time. Thomas Dolf
and others of the owners of heavy
property interests in this community,
familiar with the urgency of the
towns need for n modern hostelry,
have undertaken to finance the pro-
ject. II is given out that a central
Maine street location will be used
and that the hotel will contain at
least so rooms with storerooms and
lobby on the ground floor. and no
feature necessary for modernity will
be overlooked. The probable cost of
the enterprise will range from $685.
600 to S150,000 and when completed
IL will be placed In charge of a thor
ough going hotel man who will know
and serve the public's needs,
These needs are now very largely
going unserved. Not a day passes

adequacy of present accommoda-
tions and rooms for transients are
decidedly at a premium.

The Era Of OIL

Ii is sixty years this month since
the first oil well was drilled in
Pennsylvania, thus inaugurating the
era of oil. The discovery was at
once recognized as possessing great
value, but there could have been
slight appreciation of the mammoth
proportions to which the industry
was destined to grow. Hailed as an
illuminant supplanting candles and
whale oil, the business has widened
beyond any possible dreams of those
who were active in the early days of
oil. The center of the industry has
long since departed from the place
of it's origin. The Southwest and the
Pacific Coast almost an unknown
land in the infancy of the business,
now produce thousands of barrels to
the original oil regions one. Oil is
still used as an illuminant on mil
lions of farms and in isolated places
all over the world, but that is no
longer the chief product of crude.
Gasoline, at first troublesome by
product is now the main result
sought.

CONSIDERABLE SUN TO Be
RAISED FOR 7. c. DISTRICT
Water Users to Pay Assessments for
Irrigation District Purposes When
Tax Stipends are Paid

County Recorder Franke's Office
deputy, Ollie Walcott, is engaged in
the task of extending the 1919 tax
roll to form the basis of the next tax
payments. The job is larger than
ever before including as it does for
the first time the fixing of a charge
of II cents an acre against the irri-
gable land of the project for the pur-
pose of raising funds to defray the
expenses incident upon the conduct
of the affairs of the Truckee-Carson
irrigation district. A total of 49,
702.76 acres of land are subject to
this extra assessment, the IL cents
per acre charge to result in raising
a total of $10,044.33.
The sums thus assessed against
the irrigation district property own
ers will be paid by them at the time
they pay their regular state, county
and school district taxes and will be
subject to the usual spring and fall
installment privileges.
In the meantime the directors of
the irrigation district board are
planning a number of new depart
ures for the benefit of the water
users of the project, including the
establishment of permanent office
in Fallon and the employment of a
secretary.
