Nevada Bunked On
Conscription Census

Advance statistics Of the 1920 CEN
sus seem to bear out II they do not
conclusively prove the assertion made
In 1917 that the South was favored In
the administration of the CONSUMPTION
law.
1t will be remembered that on Janu-
ary /. 1917, in accordance with long
standing custom, the census bureau
issued an estimate of the population
of the different states, making its es-
Inmates in accordance with rules
which it had long observed. In July.
1917. the same bureau made an esti-
mate of population for conscriptioh
purposes, and this estimate disclosed
amazing reductions in population in
the Southern states. There were some
equally surprising increases in popu-
lation in Northern states.
Alabama, for instance, lost 100000
of it's population for conscription
purposes, while Connecticut gained
100000.
Georgia lost approximately 100000
population for conscription purposes.
while Illinois gained more than mil
lion.
Louisiana lost 100000 for conscrip-
ton purposes, while Iowa gained
100000.
Kentucky lost 100000 for conscrip-
tion purposes, while Michigan gained
nearly a million.
Mississippi lost 100000 for con-
scription purposes, while Massachu
sets gained nearly 100000.
North Carolina lost 270,000 for
conscription purposes, while Ohio
gained 100000.
South Carolina lost 250,000 for con-
scription purposes, while Pennsylva-
MIA gained 100000.
Virginia lost 25O,000 for conscrip-
ton purposes. while New York
gained 100000.

ELECTION DAY

The Silver State is printed at noon
today, so we can take a half-holiday
to participate In the election excite
ment and sport of guessing who's go
ing to win. There is no news, any
how-the banks and county Offices are
closed, and if person is asked for
news it is found their entire thought
is centered on election. We're glad
it's all over-it's been a long, hard
scrap in county where he started
out with everything against us. We
are confident at least some of the
strong Democratic prejudice has been
broken down, though to carry Hum
boldt county would exceed fondest
expectations-this time.

Ne,D Process Removes
Superttuous Hair Roots!

Women troubled with unsightly
hairy growths will be delighted to
hear that they can now actually re-
move the hair entire-roots and all
easily, quickly, harmlessly. 1t is
done without the use Of liquid, pow
der, paste, or electric needle.
The new phelactine process is not
to be compared at all with any other
method. Nothing like 1t ever, dis
covered. 1t causes the hair roots to
come out before your very eyes, leav-
ing the skin smooth and hairless as
a babes. It's action is 50 positive, so
certain, druggists generally report
phenomenal sales for phelactine. 1t
is non-odorous, Irritating, non
poisonous-a child could safely eat it..
Get a small stick of phelactine today,
follow the simple instructions and
you will be wonderfully surprised.

TO
BE QUIZZED
Farmers Organization Will be on Deck
to Ask Questions Concerning
Candidates Stand on Rural
Questions.

Candidates from the first district
for state and national offices Will be
quizzed by farmers. This much is GER
tain from the meetings which are
being held all over the district by
of the state organiza-
ton of the farmers. A meeting was
held here Tuesday night in the Trades
and Labor Assembly hall and adj
dressed by delegates and officers OF
the different organizations, and
similar meeting was held in Burling-
ton yesterday. Meetings will be held
all over the seven counties in the first
district.
The Hawk-Eye reporting the meet
ing says:
Members of the county organization
of the Farmers Union, in meeting at
the court house yesterday drafted
preliminary plans to determine
whether candidates seeking election
| to state or national office from the
first district were in accord with the
views of farmers and would seek to
secure legislation that would be OF
benefit to the agricultural interests
of the country. The meeting was one
| of series to be held in all Of the
seven counties in the f1rst district.
| George McKelvie and D. A. Fem or
Salem, Iowa, have been selected by
the state organization to carry on the
work in the first district.
Although members of the county Or
sanization stated yesterday that their
organization did not intend to enter
politics, the plan is. however, to use
it's influence as far as possible in
securing men for state and national
offices who would look after the in
terests of the farmer.
1.-THE farmer has been ignored to a
large extent in the past" Alfred
Meyer, president of the county or
Iganization, stated, "and we hope to
be able to further the election Of a
man who will aid in securing much
needed legislation that is being pro
iposed by the agricultural interests.
The movement will be carried out in
the seven counties of the first dis
trict."
Eve hope to be able through or
iganization to secure proper represen-
Itation at Washington through election
of the right man to office" Mr.. Nc
kevlie stated.
1t is declared that so far the Farm
ers' Union has not decided on what
candidates will be supported.

HARRY NEW
is SENTENCED
Given Term of Ten Years to Life as
Penalty for Murder OF His
Sweetheart Last
July.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Jan. ~
Harry S. New, reputed son or Y. ..
Senator New, of Indiana, today was
sentenced to an indeterminate term OF
ten years to life Imprisonment in San
Quentin, Calf, state penitentiary.
After two hours of argument and
testimony the court oyerruled the de-
Tense motion for new trial. Alter
sentence was passed, News attorneys
gave notice of appeal and secured
stay of execution Until next TUESDAY.
The scene when New was sentenced
was not dramatic. Judge Craig made
q formal statement overrulinS the mo-
ton for a new trial and called on the
defendant to arise.
With his attorneys and the balm
standing beside him, New arose ana
looked squarely at the judge.
Judge Craig recited, according &c
legal formalities. the steps which had
Iheen taken in the case and simply pro-
nounced that New was sentenced to
the term prescribed by law for such
an offense in San Quentin, California
penitentiary."
News expression did not change
When the proceedings were over ne
turned and followed the bailiff out OF
the court as if nothing had happened.
Neither his mother nor his sister
were with him when sentence was
passed. G.,
Quentin entirely ignored the note
which the jury sent along with the
verdict asking that New be sent to an
insane asylum for observation before
being ordered to San Quentin.
