tude and then struck out in bee line
for Salt Lake City.
The fiiers spent yesterday after.
noon repairing the machine piloted h.
Lieutenant f. w. Kilgore. which had
developed some motor trouble This
was the reason given for not attempt
ing any stunts.
The four machines made the trir
from Reno yesterday morning in two
hours and thirty minutes. The fiigh'
did not follow the railroad line, BIZ
was directly cross country.

machines belong. left Ellington Fiels

TORTURED FEET

Don't cut your corns. The trimming
of corns can only give temporary re-
lief at best. The cutting is apt to
cause serious complications, such as
blood poisoning. etc. The thing to dc
is to rid yourself entirely of corns by
using Corn Collode. You cannot us,
this preparation long without losing
all of your corns. Warm weather is
trying on your feet, but YOU can get
great relief by using our special foot
powder. which will stop sweating OF
the feet.

S. D. s. ON TICKETS
. FOR BASEBALL GAME

Tomorrow afternoon baseball
game is scheduled to be played at
Recreation Park in this city between
the Elko and Winnemucca teams.
This will be the second meeting of
the two mines. The first game was
played at Elko on July 4. resulting in
defeat for the Winnemucca boys.
The visitors undoubtedly have fast
aggregation and those who attend
tomorrow game will be treated to a
real exhibition.
An SOS. call has been sent out by
Manager Travers for publicity on the
baseball game to be played tomorrow.
He wants every person in Winnemucca
to buy a ticket and witness the game.
For more than one reason. Besides
being the star game of the baseball
season--two crack teams contesting
with their best players in the lineup
and everybody in tip-top condition and
on their toes-there is the financial
consideration. 1t will cost in the
neighborhood of $40 for railroad fare
and hotel accommodations for the
Elko players. Nuf sed?
