this campaign. Perhaps you are
laboring. under the impression that
it will take some of your time away
from your regular duties. Disabuse
yourself at once of such an idea.
These prizes may be won during your
leisure time. 1t is not like work
it is pleasant. enjoyable and in this
instance vastly profitable. You'll en-
joy it if only you will permit your
self to get into. the game. That is
what we are trying to do-get you
started-when we have succeeded in
doing this no future argument will
be necessary.
Here 1t Is-Read It
This proposition is so absurdly
simple, and yet so stupendous, that
it is little wonder that you at home
jump at conclusions that there is
something behind it. that there may
be some string attached
HERE IS THE PROPOSITION IN
A NUTSHELL-The Silver State
wants to increase it's readers by Sc
curing new subscribers. We figure
that we can have n done quicker and
better by having our friends do it for
us. even if we have to give them in
return prizes and cash commissions
aggregating hundreds of dollars.
1t Is very simple when you have it
explained to you, isn't it? Well be
glad to explain further If there Is
any thing about it that you do not
thoroughly understand.
DON'T HESITATE ANY LONGER
but determine RIGHT NOW that you
are going to participate in this dis
tribution of gifts. Clip out the nomi-
nation blank and send it in at once
so that you can get started i'm
mediately.
Every assistance will be given to
make your efforts bear fruit. For
this purpose the Campaign Depart
mentment of the Silver State has been
and every one interested
in the campaign is invited to call or
telephone this department. The tel
ephone number is 211.

OF not guilty late Thursday evening

be tried in this county.
Jask Schneider and Cyclone"
johnson were witnesses for the prose-
cution. the former testifying to hav-
ing bought the liquor from the ac-
cused and the latter claiming that

SHORTAGE OF SUGAR
FACES THIS CITY

With the stevedores and dock
hands on strike in San Francisco and
the entire shipping business of that
port at an absolute standstill, pend
ing some sort of settlement, the
probability of a scarcity on this
coast of some of the necessities o;
life seems inevitable unless the sit
uation is relieved within the next
copule of weeks.
Locally, 1t begins to appear that
those with sweet tooth" will un-
doubtedly be inconvenienced by the
necessity of enforcing a strict ration
of sugar In order to tide over ths
shortage
Inquiry among the merchants of
Winnemucca discloses the fact that
while some have been fortunate
enough to receive late consign-
ment the supply of the majority of
the retail merchants is about ex-
hausted
Latest advices state that the
seriousness of the situation hinges
upon quick settlement of the labor
difficulties, both at the refineries and
among the dock workers. for it is
said that there are many cargoes OF
sugar lying at anchor in San Fran
cisco at the present time. All efforts
to replinish the local supply through
Salt Lake City wholesalers and coas,
iobbers have been in vain. one bust
ness house having had their CHECK
for 800 returned. with the informa-
ton that their order could not be
filled.

RECEIVES NEWS OF DEATH
OF MOTHER IN SACRAMENTO

Word was received in this city to-
day by DR.. and Mrs. M. E. Morrison
of the death at Sacramento. CAL, of
the latter's mother. Mrs. c. w. Gill
man. Deceased was aged sixty-three
years and yas one of the pioneer
residents of California. During their
recent visit to the Coast, DR.. and Mrs
Morrison visited with Mrs. Gilman
for couple Of weeks, and although
her health at that time was fair, news
Of her death yesterday was not en-.
tirely unexpected.

After being in session practically
one month the state board of equali-
zation, composed Of the members OF
the state tax commission and the as
SCISSORS of the various counties, ended
its work late Thursday afternoon
During its session the state board
increased valuations about $1,000, ,000
this being necessary to take care OF
appropriations made by the last legis-
lature and not taken into considera-
tion when the last budget was framed.
The closing day Of the session was
marked by several attempts on the
part Of various assessors to make re-
ductions in the valuations fixed on
lands by a special land committee
named early in the session. Several
votes were taken on motions to make
various changes in the committees re-
port. which was adopted last Satur-
day. but were voted down, the vote
standing in each instance twelve to
nine. Assessor Organ of Humboldt
county moved to reconsider the
special land committees report, say
ing that he would propose an amend
ment to that section of it making an
eighteen per cent increase in land
valuations so as to provide an in
crease of eight per cent, with the un-
that should any defci-
ency exist it would be taken care of
by an increase in all assessed valua-
tions. The motion to reconsider was

A crowd had gathered at the rear
end of the train hoping to get last
glimpse of the chief executive. Ono
man took of his hat and waved IL
in the air. shouting "Hurrah! I'm
from Sacramento, and I'm for Wilson
and the League of Nations!" Sec
retary Tumulty heard the declara-
ton and he stepped out on the plat
form and cried: Every man who
feels the same way about 1t, raise his
hand" There was a good-sized crowd
present-and not a hand went up.
1t has been a common remark, since
the President was here, that Mr.. Will
son Is not an orator. I wonder If the.
people who say that were listening
with their thinkers on their eyes. II
has often seemed to me that some
people, when they see a man raw,
about a rostrum, waving his arms
pounding the table. and saying moth
ing at all in the way of argument
for an hour or more, believe they are
listening to an orator. By the same
token. IL man stands still and dis
presents most convinc-
ing facts, these same people might
say he did not know how to make q
speech.
The President, while he did not
indulge in the old-school broad-armed

RENO, Nevada-Well, the Ming case
is settled. The defendant is acquitted
and perhaps the less said about 1t the
better. After spending eight days in
a farcical effort to secure a jury, the
machinery Of the law declared itself
in working order and Ming was tried
for Transporting liquor over the
streets of Reno last January. The
police knew he had the liquor knew
he was about to move it to his new
place OF residence; and they watched
the proceedings and pinched him. No
body ever supposed he intended to sell
the booze. or give 1t away, or drink
too much Of it at one time himself,
as such things go. The police at the
same time must have known that other
men were dealing In the contraband
stun. because everybody else knew 1t !;
and that surely is a. more serious
offense. Whether such prosecutions
are to be viewed as efforts to show
up" what is, or was. supposed to be
an unpopular law. or merely as
bluffs at police efficiency" is hard to
guess.
A little incident which may indicate
pretty closely the trend of public
opinion In Nevada. or at least in Reno,
regarding the League of Nations. oc-
