The Mean Man.

Everybody knows the story about
poor Tom Sharkey. who electrified the
loungers in his saloon one day by say
ing heartily, "Well, boys. what are we
going to have?" And then, as the
loungers gathered round the bar. he
added. Rain or sinner
Representative Gordon Lee Of Chick
amauga told story of similar kind
about q mean man at Atlantic City.
Some friends visited him on a hot eve
ming and after they had sweltered a
while in the sitting room he said:
"'Well. friends. could you stand
some refreshments?'
awe certainly couldr the visitors
replied. and they moistened their dry
lips in pleasant anticipation.
"Then,' said the mean man, rising,

Firm Well Worthy Of Imitation
by Other Employers.

A pioneer medical clinic, established

600 employees, and gradually enlarged

graduate nurses.
During the influenza epidemic Of last
winter, over $50 employees were treat
ed per day, with only six deaths during
the entire course of the dreaded dis
ease. All cases were given careful
individual attention and, in instances
where no family doctor was in at
tendance, immediate arrangements
were made for medical care. ~

clinic to advise all employees with

A FOREIGN Ship.

Homer l.. Ferguson, president Of the
chamber of commerce of the United
States ,has~stirred up the patriots over
the reproduction of a foreign ship be-
ing on our twenty-dollar bills. Making
a speech recently, and seeking to, i'm
press his auditors with the fact that
this country has entirely too few ships,
he whipped out twenty-dollar bin
and declared:
"Why. even the ship reproduced on
this bill is one that was, taken over
by this country during the war. 1t
flies the American flag, all right, but
It is a foreign-built Ship
Examination proved he was sabso-
lutely correct. The ship has four fun
nels, and there never has been a four
funneled ship built In this country for
our foreign trade.

CHARMING GISH COMEDY.

The popularity of Dorothy Gish
With screen fans was emphatically
demonstrated by her reception in her
Paramount comedy, "I'll Get Him
YET" at the Elko theatre last night.
The photoplay is a charming one in
every respect and provides Miss Gish
with one of the best roles In which
she has been seen this season. The
picture must be seen to be fully ap-
preciated. 1t will be again screened
at the Elko, last times, tonight.
Larry Semon and the wonderfully
talented Chimpangee, also delighted
the audience, when appearing in the
special '"Big v" comedy, His Home
Sweet Home" which is again to pe
shown tonight. = =. :

The Uplift.

posed should be sold to the packers
for less than half the price paid them
by the government. said:
"Why sell this meat to the packers7

SAYS BOLSHEWSM
ENDS CIVILIZATION
DUTCH MINISTER TO PETRO-
GRAD TELLS WHAT THIS HOR-
RIBLE DOCTRINE is

1 On his way back to Holland from
Russia, DR.. Oudendijk, the Dutch min
lister in Petrograd, was interviewed
by the London Times and made an
/ impassioned plea for allied interven-
| ton as duty to civilization:
~ wish to give a solemn warning
to the working classes of all nations.
Bolshevism, | say without exaggera-
ton, is the end of civilization. / have
known Russia intimately for twenty
years and never have the working
classes of Russia suffered as they are
at the present moment / have never
seen or dreamed of the possibility of
such corruption, tyranny, and the abb
sence of all semblance of freedom as
there are in Russia at the present
moment.
TRANSLATED into practise, the five
points of Bolshevism really come to
this: (1) High wages; (2) don't work;
(3) take other peoples property; (4)
no punishment; (5) no taxation; and
l suppose there will always be a GER
tain number of people who will adopt
a program which in practise amounts
to this. That is why, having myself
seen the disastrous effects of this
policy on all classes of society, take
the first opportunity on my arrival
in England to warn the public. The
bulk of the workmen in Russia are
today far and away worse off than
they ever have been, and the state of
unemployment is simply terrible
When left Petrograd the situation
was one of utter starvation, and most
people hardly knew how they would
exist through the following day. The
future to me seems hopeless. One
thing is certain, that, left as she now
is, Russia will be in a state of utter
and complete ruin. Wherever Boil
shevism rules the nation has been.I
beaten to a pulp, and is utterly help
less"

AT RENO
DREAMS Of HUNS

Refusing to eat. suffering from
meIancholia and the delusion that he
is in a prison in Coblenz, and giving
way TO spells of violent insanity, En-
met Newberry. a discharged soldier,
presents the most pitiable case that
the police of Reno have had to handle
in many months. Newberry was taken
in custody by the police after he had
raised a disturbance in a Reno hotel
Friday morning.
Since his detention, the soldier has
refused to eat, and for four days has
not taken nourishment. He walls
that someone is attempting to poison
him and for that reason is afraid to
eat the food offered. When violent
he talks of Coblenz, Germany. and
imagines that he is being mistreated
by the Germans.
Newberry had a large sum of
money on him when found and his
draft papers which he carried with
him show that he was mustered into
the army from Missouri. Drs. Gerow
and Samuels are of the opinion that
he was she'll shocked during the war
and taken prisoner by the Germans,
leaving him in an unbalanced condi-
ton. Secretary Drew of the war
camp community service is attempt
ing to get information about him
from the "a department or from rel
atives in Missouri and If nothing can
be done he will be committed to the
state asylum.-Reno Gazette.

According to all indications there
promises to be another element con-
sidered in the selection of the next
legislature that is likely to cause
about as much of a row as the election
of legislators plegded for or against
slot machines and other forms of
gambling. This is the state tax COM
mission, which has caused legislative
battles in the last several sessions. 1t
is a well-known fact that some of the
big interests Of the state are not at
all satisfied with the work done by the
present tax commission and will make
a determined effort to elect sufficient
members to the 1921 session pledged
to repeal the present tax commission
law, or so amend it as to curb the
powers of the commission to a very
great extent. Up to the last session
the opponents of the tax commission
succeeded in limiting the life of the
commission from one session to the
next, or for a period of two years.
There is no such limiting section in
the present tax commission act, how
e Inasmuch as Governor Boyle is
known to be welded to the principle
of a tax commission with absolute
authority to raise and lower valua-
tons, it will require a two-thirds
majority in both houses before the
tax commission as it stands at present
car be changed over the gubernatorial
veto of any bill passed by a bare ma
jority of the solons.
