NEVADA TOWN WITHOUT
 PUPIL OF SCHOOL AGE

TYBO, New, Feb. 10 (by Associated Press) ).-Tybo's school bell rings no more, and there is no small boy to be glad. In fact, the Tybo school has been closed because there is not even one child of school age here. The teacher, Miss Hattie Ewing of Tono- pah, left before the holidays, after the moving van had emptied the homes which had supplied her pupils.
 A few months ago Tybo was thriv- ing mining community. Today the mines are closed and nea,rly every family has gone. A few hang on with the expectation that developments of the next few months will bring re- vival of activity in the mines and new lifc to the town. Just now there is orly one child in town, and he is not of school age.

Iris Speaker Not to Be Promoted

Iris Speaker Not to Be Promoted
 Supporters of the Cleveland Ameri- cans unanimously approve the action of President James Callum in re-elect- ing Lee Fohl manager of the club for 1919. It will be Fohps fourth year
 Fohl and President Dunn are try ing to arrange a trade for Outfelder Benny Roth that will strengthen the club. Six of the eight clubs in the American league have made offers for him. President Dunn will demand players, if trade is made, instead of cash consideration.
 Concerning the report that Iris Speaker was being considered to suc- ceed Fohl, President Dunn said that Speaker did not want the position, and besides, was too valuable to be handicapped with the worries of the management.
 "Fohl has been with me long enough to convince me that I would have to search hard for better man, Presi- dent Dunn said. "He has maintained harmony on the team and knows the game. He has been successful in the development of players. I am conf dent he would have won the pennant lcst season if the race had gone on to October l. As 1t was, Cleveland finished in second place, with cork ing good record"

Housing Situation
(By WALT MASONO

Oft 1 hear discordant slogans, hear the loud and sad lament; men are wear ing out their brogans hunting houses they can rent. Every village, town and city sees the same discouraged crew :; and 1t seems to me a pity that good houses are so few.
 In my native burg, Empory, I see women chasing round, and they tell the same old story-houses simply can't be found. And the same old word is spoken. everywhere l chance to roam l; from Topeka to Hoboken folks are hunting for a home.
 When they're sick and tired of chas- ing, when their souls with woe are fill ed, maybe they will do some bracing maybe they'll decide to build. Rents are higher now than ever, and the prices won't slump back, and that man is really clever who will build himself a shack.
 But the Cost!" l hear men yaWping : and they put up thougth1ess roars, for they never have been shopping at the modern lumber stores. Building goods today are cheaper than all other goods you buy; all commodities are steeper- ask the lumber dealer nigh.
 Moneyed men are often questing for gold bricks, and dern the price; always ready for investing in blue skies and pickled ice. If they'll build a lot of houses, they might dwell in Easy street, where the catawampus browses, and the dingbat's song IS sweet. Every time they'd build a dwelling crowds would come, and still increase crying clamor- ing and yelling begging for fve-year lease.
 There's no better proposition than this thing of building homes, and the fact should find position in the plutocratic domes.
 And the man with modest bundle should be renting nevermore; he should take his wad and trundle to the lumber dealers store.
 There should be a boom i'll building such as we have never seen; palaces with ornate gliding, modest homes, all painted green.
