Dance to Attract Mate.

On some of the islands of the Pa
ciic, in tropical South America, is
found the beautiful bird known as the
~jacana. 1t is famous for it's so-called
love dances, which appear to be exe-
cuted by the male TO excite the admir-
alton of the female birds. When the
mating season approaches the jacana
will single out its ~favorite lady and
try to win her admiration with all its
bewitching maneuvers. In the dance
the wings are spread and worked in
such a manner that the beautiful col
ored feathers produce a brilliant effect.

Of NEVADA
STORIES IS PEEvED

A few weeks ago the Saturday
Evening Post published a mining
camp story written by the famous
writer, Peter Clark MacFarlane. AL
though Tonopah was not specifically
mentioned as the scene of the story,
still it was generally supposed to
have a Tonopah setting. 1t was a
corking good story-like all of Mac
Farlane's stories but the illustra-
tons were a SANDER and a libel upon
this community, says the Tonopah
Bonanza. The inapt, inaccurate and
1ldicrous illustrations excited con
siderable adverse comment in local
circles. Some of these comments, it
appears, have reached the ear of the
author in California, and have caused
him poignant regret. as is evidenced
by the following letter which he wrote
several days ago to n Of his many
frietnds in Tonopah:
Il have seen a clipping from some
OF the Tonopah newspapers rejecting
%eloquently on the illustrations for
The Worm Turneth.' in the Satur-
day Evening Post. Will you please
tell the editors that authors have
nothing to do with the selection of
illustrations and, especially when liv-
ing at my distance, neve see them
till they r published. Will you
please also tell them they can say
nothing too bad to please me about
the illustrations for that particular
story. They were not illustrations,
but caricatures. l judge the man who
made them had never been west OF
Hoboken.
did not mention the town Of Tonopah,
it is difficult to say how the said pic
lures could have done harm to the
fair fame of that gem of the desert;
or, in fact. done damage to any but
the loving hopes of some of my dear
friends in Tonopah; and | trust the
bonds of their affection are strong
enough to survive the strain. Only
those who recognize Mrs. Harris en-
porium would identify the same; and
l trust she and my friends generally
will recognize that what they owe me
in the circumstances is not cusses,
but coincidence.
Sincerely,
Peter Clark MacFarlane."

Every merchant, every manufac-
turer, knows that advertising ma
terially reduces selling costs by
increasing the demand for and the
distribution of the products OF
hundreds of thousands Of factories.
Indeed, many of the things We
count today as necessities or sim
pie Injuries could not be made and
sold at their reasonable prices
except as advertising has created
a broad market for them, making
millions of sales at little prices
and little profit.

Sixty years ago the ladies could
go shopping for dry goods and buy
silks that would make you green
with envy, linens that were linens.
and broadcloths that beggar de-

store did not have they usually
got along without.
