'ST|NGAREE GULCH'
WAS ITSELF STUNG

Renos rodeo commenced business
this morning. Stingaree Gulch opened
up Tuesday evening. 1t is estimated
that 2300 people passed through the
gate on the opening night. Beatriz
Michelena sang at the big dance hall
and altogether it was bully show.
but the sheriff was the real Stingaree.
Four roulette wheels, covered with
dust but otherwise in perfect condi-
ton were dug up from somewhere
tnobody seems to know Just where)
TO add touch of mining camp life as
she used to be" to Stingaree Gulch;
also two crap tables and two faro
layouts in equally good condition
made their appearance from some
where in the dim and misty past.
II was announced that the latter
came from cellars where they had
been stored for nearly nine years
waiting for Stingaree Gulch to open
up. perhaps. They were set up in
kelly's Dance Hall and In Buckaroo
Bits dance hall in the Gulch.
Some old-time dealers were secured
10 take charge of the tables and sew
eral hundred dollars forth of bin
giles" had been secured for use as
money. Apparently all was well until
Tuesday afternoon, when Sheriff Fer
rell threw monkey wrench in the
machinery and the tables were unused
on the opening night.
Closing the games at the last
minute caused CONSERVATION, indig-
nation, and other emotions among the
directors of the association, who are
among the most prominent men in
Reno. The games remained closed,
although at one time it was thought
they would be opened up by the d.
rectors of the organization and the
whole affair brought to a show down.
As result of the closing of the
games. members of the board of di-
rectors have stated that probably all
gambling games running in Reno will
be closed This is Just hint of what
the said directors may be contemplat-
ing. but at any rate seven or eight
prominent men connected with the
association were seen Tuesday night
in different resorts where card games
are being conducted. looking at the
games but saying nothing. They Wis
tied half a dozen places and their
presence was quickly noted by the
proprietors.
Now another story is going the
rounds. to the effect that two weeks
ago some prominent gamblers of the
city went to the Rodeo association
and asked for the gambling conces-
sions in the Gulch. offering 500 per
day and 25 per cent of the receipts
for the privilege. This offer was
turned down fiat by the Rodeo man
agement.
There was nothing personal in my
action" said Sheriff Farrell. "The
laws says that gambling shall not be
conducted. and as an officer | am
bound to enforce the law. II the law
is not satisfactory, then 1t should be
changed; but as long as it is on the
statute books / shall enforce it,"
The management of Stingaree Gulch
gave out the following statement:
"The directors had gone into this
matter thoroughly and were of opin-
ion that the games could be operated.
as bingles and not money were to be
used. We felt that the directors of
the association were big enough men

BILL SAYS HUMBOLDT
PEOPLE HAVE MONEY

I'VE can't get men up in Humboldt
county to do the work-now that's all
there is to It," said w. H. Ayres, jun
ior member of the firm of Ayres &
Ayres, publishers of The Silver State,
a tri-weekly newspaper published at
Winnemucca, as he breezed into the
Journal Office yesterday afternoon.
Strangers don't sabe the desert. 1t
is long way from the bright lights,
to be sure, but we come to look upon
that fact as an advantage except
in the matter of getting help. Ranch
ers are taking girls into the hayfields
right now, and paying them 81 day
and board. They are regular hay
makers, too-some of them.
mo, there is no great amount of
ranching right near Winnemucca.
There are big ranches up in the Quinn
River valley, clear to the Oregon line
and across it. Winnemucca is a
supply station. The town don't look
like much to stranger-but you
ought to read some of the bank state
ments.
Il reckon a good many Humboldt
county people with money to spend
will be down here to enjoy your rodeo
You see, right after. sheep-shearing
and haying they begin to feel pretty
sporty-and we dono need the money
up there.

weeks, swelling around, and am TAX

he couldn't get away without sticking

TO carry out a plan of this kind with
out doing any harm. 1t is a munich
pal affair. The games would have lent
color to the attractions in the Gulch,
and in the manner they were to be
conducted no one could lose or win
any considerable amount, and what
was won or lost would be in bingles
good only for amusements in the
Gulch. The action of the sheriff came
rather suddenly. and the big crowd
that attended the opening show ex-
pressed regret that the games were
closed"

NIGHT.

V HE days is long and dreary and sluggshy it goes
! and we are spent and weary, and soon We'll
have respose; the night upon creeping will have
in its keeping, and shall find in sleeping the
balm for all woes. Our tasks are hard and pain
full, and hours of rest few the world is too dis
dainful of all the things do our nerves are throb-
bng, leapng, and we're inclined to weeping; but one
long night of sleeping will make US good as new.
Through daylight hours we're tong like Vulcan at
his chore, to keep the kettee boiling and feed the
children four; but long night of sleeping until
the dawn is peeping, and doodle birds are cheepng,
will brace up once more. This life is sore and
trying, its paths hard to tread night takes is
in its keeping, its richest blessings heaping upon the
people sleeping, and thankful they are dead l like
this old world bully, it's strictly success, and I
ndorse it fully, and boost it more or less but dying
is the reaping of harvests worth the keeping; the
goal of all weeping and striving and distress

HIGH COST OF LIVING LAID TO WAR TAXES.

Otto Kahn, of Kuhn, Loeb and Co., one of the
leading inanciers in the United States in memoran-
oum submitted to "a public man in Washington suggests
that nonpolitca commission be appointed TO study
the effects of the taxation upon the present cost
OF living. 1t is Mr.. Kahn's opinion, as expressed in
the memorandum that 'the unscentifc system of tax
alton in this country since 1917" has played large
part in keeping up prices The banker concludes that
the very extreme of the burden laid upon business and
income has partially defeated the purpose wf,L fro
trainers of taxation legislation apparently had in
view, and at the time has given rise to cecain
unforeseen and troublous development-as invariably
happens in the of extreme measures especialIv
where economics involved" Speaking of the excess
profits tax Mr. Kahn said:
"The excess profits tax has tended furthermore TO
increase actual cost of production nasmuch as costs
naturally are deducted before taxable profits are ar
rived at and, therefore, under the operation of tba
cess profits tax there not the same inducement as m
der normal circumstances keep costs down as oucb
as possible bat in fact rather the reverse Nor is b
any longer any nducement to employ accumulated
profits in the business without captaizng them which
Ct course, makes for lower cost of production

THE FIREMEN,

The fremen of Americus have again asked the city
for an increase in salary-an increase to enable them
to obtain the necessities of life demanded for them
selves and their families
The city of Americus is now paying 1t iramen $40
per month That is something that the Times Recorder
IS not proud to publish the world for it is poor ad
vertisement of this prosperous and wealthy community
but ii is true nevertheless Americus must have framen
Eut the thought that goes with contemplation of the
salary the members of the department are being paid is
How in the world has the city been able to keep ANY
men at such a salary in these days? The fremen re-
cited IN their petition to the city council last night that
their incomes at do not provide foc actual ne
cesstes for themselves and families not 10 mention

A CHANCE TO SERVE.

Answering editorial appearing in the Times
Recorder of couple of days ago on the old veterans
and what be done for them, friend suggests one
.way which real appreciation of these old fellows who
so fast disappearing can be shown.
"In Sumter county there are at least 700 auto
mobiles" said he "Also in Sumter county are at least
three old veterans who have been out of the house
in years, being confined by physical inrmities. How
ever, they not confined to their BEDS and they
could nightly enjoy automobile ride occasionally if
they had the opportunity"
If you had been penned up inside four walls day
and night for years because you were unable to get
out, and hadn't had opportunity to at all see what
is going on in the big world to enjoy sight of the
fields and the woods-or the life of the city
wouldn't offer of an automobile ride an nour or
two occasionally like gift of Providence? And
it would be just that
Has anyone auto to devote to such a wonder

WOMEN vINDICArE RIGHT TO VOTE.

The participation of the women of Atlanta in the
primary election of Wednesday-the first election in
which women permitted to vote in Georgia-cer-
tanly proves two things, and would seem therefore
to settle rather definitely mooed points in re with
an suffrage in this section
First. the women. by practically unanimous cxer-
else of their lately right VOTE showed that they
wished that right
Second by most intelligent and orderly exercise
of their right they proved that they are ready
for the ballot.
Eminent statesmen have long contended in Georgia
that they would favor the voting of women, provid-
ed the wanted to vote and were ready for the
ballot-that these points being settled there could be

SPECIAL CARE FOR ROOSTER
Keep Male Exercising, Supply Plenty
of Proper Kind of Food and Eggs
Should Be Fertile.

Good breeding males sometimes get
themselves out of breeding condition
by overgallantry. Instead of taking
their share of the food they call the
hens. A good plan is to give every
male special feed at night. Many
breeders coop the male at night and
feed him morning and night.
See to it that the males spurs are
not long and sharp enough to cut the
backs of the hens. Either wrap them
with narrow strips Of cloth or saw
them off.
If the male has a bare spot on the
head, or torn waffle, the hens are
likely to peck at him. Some males
will permit the hens to pluck feathers
and peck at their noses until there is
q raw surface. Grease these bare
spots with carbolized vaseline, and
coop the bird until the wound has 8
chance to heal over. An open wounf
of this sort is apt to become infected
with the germ of chickenpox and give
lots of trouble. Pigeons, sparrows ant
other birds are said to carry chicken
pox. If the germs are In the ground
and the male rubs his sore spots will
infected feet, he is almost sure to ge
the disease.
Keep him exercising, give him plen
ty of the right kind OF food and TIT
eggs should be fertile.

cloth Sacks.

The eggs of one hen, or setting OF
eggs, may be Matched in the incubator
with other eggs, If, just before piping,
the eggs to be pedigreed are sewed In
to cheesecloth sacks. Make the sacks
large enough to leave plenty of room
for each chick, and see that there are
no loose threads to choke the chicks.
If there are several sacks, mark each
sack, as the shells are often broken
too much to show the record. Boil the
sacks before using second time.

easily the most popular breeds OF

greatly leading the other breeds. All

marily for the production of flesh and

occasionally used for culinary pur'
poses on the farm, there is no demand
for them for food purposes in the

FIND Difference IN BREEDS
Fowl May Not BE Up to Standard
Qualifications and Yet Be Pure
bred-Markings Are Off.

A standardized" fowl and s'pure-
bred' fowl are not necessarily the
same. A bird may not be up to the
standard of qualifications and yet be
a purebred. But a standardized is
bound to be purebred. Utility poul-
try are fowls bred for increased egg
and meat production, and while they
are pure in blood may be way off in
markings from a poultry show point
of view.
