TON MILEAGE WAS INCREASED 26 TIMES
 WITH BIG TRAILER

The William F. Rarp Slave Company, Fine Bluff Ark, with a Federal heavy duty tractor and six-ton trailer, increased their ton hauage 2e times. With this motor truck equipment they hauled a ton mileage equivalent to that of twenty-six teams of horses.
 A good team of horses was only able to make six trips wek. with loads aggI s- gating 2,40o pounds, to the railroads, dis tance of eight miles. That is, 9.6 ton miles day or 5 6 ton miles a week.

beginning next Monday.
Miss Stout, beside being the dainty lit.
tie actress she is. is possessed of level
head, in that she seldom, If ever, ex-
presses her views on the stage.
She broke this rule, however, for in
n recent interview she says, Il am firm
in the belief that laughter has a lot to

"A great deal of the success lies in the
faculty Of knowing when to laugh and
how.
This blessing reflects, in a major por-
ton, the best side of ones personality.
Il don't mean for one to forever gig

pens to be in cheerful spirits.
This method might prove successful
for a while, but it is bound to reflect
upon the intelligence of the person"

CHICAGO BIDDING
FOR WOOL TRADE

Chicago's efforts to replace Boston
as the country's wool market may re-
suit in the establishment of a fund OF
$100, 100000 to extend financial aid to
Western wool growers, according to
word brought to Reno by Senator c.
B. Henderson, says the Gazette.
Regarding the securing of funds to
aid wool growers Senator Henderson
said several Western senator's were
comforting with bankers in Chicago
regarding the proposition. The bank
ers are reported. in dispatches from
Chicago, to be much interested in the
move to finance the annual wool clip
of the country, which if successful
would displace Boston as the wool
center of the country.
Oficers of the Union Land & Cat
tie Company said they knew of the
move. but did not know whether any
of the wool men from this section at
tended the conference in the East
Herbert Humphrey is now in the East
and it was said at his office, in Reno
that he may be at the Chicago meet
ing.
Senator Henderson believed the
move could be accomplished if West
ern bankers would support it. He
said Boston has been forced to re
linquish its hold on this financing at
present because of the tight money
market.
Local wool men expressed the opin-
ion that Boston's hold on the wool
market was too strong to be broken
unless strong effort were brought tc
bear. 1t was pointed out that all the
large mills are in the immediate
vicinity of the Massachusetts city and
everything favors the present market
in retaining control of the situation
1t was, however. asserted at Rene
that Chicagos entrance into the situa-
ton would be welcomed by wool
growers. The present situation has
worked hardship on many produc-
ers in that wool is not saleable for
cash and the cash is needed
The conference at Chicago was
called by w p Harding of the fedora
reserve board and. according to {
news dispatch from Chicago, severa
Western bankers and sheepmen at
tended, in addition to Senators Pitt
man of Nevada, Walsh of Montana

and Chamberlain of Oregon.

discussion in Winnemucca than any
thing during recent times, in some
cases engendering hard feeling. AS
TO the attractions presented, opinion
also is divided, some parts appealing

tastes. But on the whole it seems
safe to say large majority of resi-
dents greatly enjoyed the week of en-

found greatest value in the food for
thought furnished by lecturers.
Last night forty-one persons had
signed a contract with Ellison White

you. 1t might have helped the bust
ness somewhat, but you would have
acquired a false estimate of your own

That's a funny letter to publish in

WOULD TIGHTEN UP
STATE DIVORCE LAW

There is a concerted movement ON
to amend the divorce act of this state.
Through the medium of petition
which is being given general circula-
tion throughout Nevada il is sought
TO establish the system of interlocu-
tory DEGREES To become final after
the expiration of one year following
the hearing of the testimony. The
act as set forth in this petition reads
as follows:
We, the undersigned qualified
electors of the State of Nevada, act
ing under and by virtue of Article
XIX of the constitution of the state
of Nevada, do propose, for enactment
into law in the manner provided for
in said article XIX of said constitu-
ton of the state of Nevada. the fol-
lowing measure, to-wit:
An act concerning judgments in ac-
tions for divorce and matters con-
nected Herewith.
The people of the state OF Nevada
do enact as follows:
Section l. In actions for divorce
the court must file it's decision and
conclusions of law as in other cases,
and if 1t determines that no divorce
shall be granted. final judgment must
thereupon be entered accordingly. If
it determines that the divorce ought
to be granted, an interlocutory judg-
ment must be entered, declaring that
the party in whose favor the court
decides is entitled to a divorce and
from such interlocutory judgment an
appeal may be taken within six
months after it's entry. in the same
manner and with like effect as If the
judgment were final.
pired after the entry of such inter-
locutory judgment. the court on mo-
ton of either party. or on its own
motion, may enter the final judg-
ment granting: first, the divorce and
such final judgment; second, shall
restore them to the status of single
persons: third, permit either to mary
after the entry thereof; and fourth.
make such other and further relief
as may be necessary to complete dis
position of the action. but if any ap-
peal is taken from the interlocutory
judgment or motion for new trial
made, final judment shall not be en-
tered until such motion or appeal has
been finally disposed of nor then, If
the motion has been granted or judg-
ment reversed.
The death of either party after the
entry of the interlocutory judgment
does not impair the power of the
court to enter final judgment as here
nbefore provided; but such entry
shall not validate any marriage con-
tracted by either party before the en-
try of such final judgment nor con-
stitute any defense of any criminal
prosecution made against either.
