ORMSBY COUNTY WOULD HAVE
WOMAN PAY POLL TAX

Women are to be drawn for jury
duty in Ormsby county, according to
the orders of Judge Langan. But
worse than that, the officials of the
county are contemplating making
the women pay poll tax the same as
men. 1t is argued that as women
are carrying on all the business that
men are engaged in, they should
come in for a share of the burdens.
The poll tax now goes to the
good roads work. The women are
driving autos and getting all the
benefits of this work. If the women
are exempt from this tax why should
the men pay it? is the argument Of
those proposing the change.

LOCAL BASKETBALL TEAM
MERCILESS TO LOvELOCK
Stuyer's Team Inflicts Fearful Pun
ishment on Visitors Scoring 80
Points Against Visitors 3

On the eve of the departure of the
Loveloek basket ball team and accom-
pan, ing friends they expressed sin
cere appreciation for courteaies ex-
tended to them during their stay in
Fallon, which proved, following the
terrific bombardment inflicted upon
them by Captain Earl Stuver's team
of ferocious warriors, a breadth of
charity as rare as it was generous.
As to the game which Prof. r. w.
Nutten arranged for the benefit of
the Armenian-Syrian Relief II was
an exhibition of supreme superiority
in every branch of this interesting
pastime by the local team composed
of Stuver, Latin. Young, West Mills
and Harmon. the latter substituting
for West following his injury.
Under the capable generalship of
Capt. Stuver the Fallon team demon
strated that they are a group to be
feared by any team in the State and
with practice could confidently go
even beyond its borders to meet any
organized basket ball team. Latin
was a fiend In making goals having
to his credit no less than fourteen,
many of these being made from po-
sitions that apparently made them
impossible.
Every player on the team filed his
position in almost perfect form and
the large assemblage were amply re-
paid for their attendance, even with
the one-sided score of 76 to in fav-
or of the home team. To the credit
of the Lovelock team Ii must be said
that they are gritty bunch and in
spite of the superiority of their op-
ponents which was evident at the
outset of the game they never once
fiinched but fought the game to the
bitter end.
Professor Nutten has opened cor
respondence with the president of
the Student Body of the University
of Nevada with a view OF securing
an engagement with the University
team and If successful the game will
be well worth witnessing as the coli
lege team is composed OF some of the
best players in the Stase.
Dancing followed the game and
proved once more the desirability of
the High School auditorium for So
cial functions, the homelike sur
roundings adding greatly to the en-
joyment of the evening.
The financial returns from the
evening contributed most gratifying
ly to the Armenian-Syrian Relief
fund.
