Several Kansas City millionaires
are planning court action to prevent
their landlord from raising the rent
of their apartments from 5000 to
$375 per month. When the H. C. L.
begins to pinch the millionaires it
will meets its Waterloo and perhaps
common folks will reap some of the
benefits of the smash.

Brnid and buttons have been the ac-

whtn they almost disappear and then
comes Il time when there is no getting
away from them. They have been at
the ebb for the past two seasons

genious ways that are surprisingly
novel. Like the return of old friends
after an absence. braid and bone

we discover them so smart and orig

This is the time also to go over the

along with showings and sales of un-

Styles change less In undermuslins
than In other apparel. although there
are usually new and interesting de-

Position of the President.

1t is evident that up until the day
the constitutional amendment shah be-
come effective the president of the
United States will be importuned to
lift the ban. His desk for weeks has
been piled high with petitions, asking
him to give the interests that hold
large stocks of liquors enough time
to dispose of their holdings. But the
presidents attitude all along has been
that he could not come to the relief of
the men and concerns that were petit
tioning him so long as the peace treaty
remained unratified by the senate. The
fight against prohibition will go on.
The wet interests are attacking the
legality of the constitutional amend
ment in the courts and within the next
few months they will get decision
from the Supreme court. 1t would be
unwise, as well as foolish, to attempt
to predict what the Supreme court will
say with respect to the constitutional
amendment, but since it upheld the
legality of wartime prohibition the sup
porters of the constitutional amend
ment have no doubt, so they say, that
the court will hold that the amend
mept was properly adopted

DID IT EVER HAPPEN TO YOU?
(ContributedD

Last Saturday night at the dance
in Wellington, certain young lady
was sitting on her fellows knee and,
as he wished to hold her hand he
reached around her waist and gently
grabbed hand. thinking that it was
the one he was seeking. and started
to squeeze it to keep it from getting
cold We presume that the lady
whose hand he was holding thought
that she would have little lun with
the party and when her husband
came up and took in the situation
she asked the young lady if she ever
got jealous. The young man found
out his mistake, and looked all over
the floor to find hole to crawl into.
Motto:Look before you leap, or wait
until there are only two certain
hands in the crowd to hold.

CITY PURCHASES SITE
FOR THE new
CITY HALL

Action Of the City Council i'll
finlly accepting the Wedcrtz lot, OPP
positc the Lyon County Court House,
for the location Of the new city hall,
was precipitated at the meeting OF
that body Monday night by the re-
ceipt OF a letter. from c. E. Wedertz
III which he offered to purchase S1oOO
of tn new issue Of the city improve
ment bonds on condition that the
money thus raised be applied to the
purchase oil lot. 1t will be remem-
bered that the council secured an op-
ton on the lot some time ago, and
since that time an effort has been
made to have that body abandon their
first selection in favor of portion
OF the Odd Fellows lot on Center
street.
Questions were raised concerning
the legality and propriety OF accept
ance of the Wedertz proposal on the
ground that the bonds were not suttl-
GENTLY advertised and second that
it was not the proper proceeding to
accept money conditionally, or with
string to it,
The Wedertz proposal was ac-
cepted by vote of to l, Archer
voting no, and Davis, Ross, and West
in favor.
Other matters attended to at the
meeting were the allowing OF bills
and the appointment o.. ]. c. Ken
nedy to make survey of the streets
and alleys OF the city Mr.. Kennedy

Mt. GRANT CLAIMS

Fred Wilcox, who for several
years has been developing group Of
mining claims i'll the Mt. Grant dis
trict, about II miles southeast o1 the
Charlebois ranch, has disposed Of a
part OF his holdings for a sizeable
consideration to B. +. LcBaron and
NJ. II. Poelman, OF San Francisco.
The deal was made in Yerington
this week. The claims show values
iii gold and silver running as high as
$50 to the ton. The ore occurs in
contact Of granite and porphry, the
ledge showing on the surface for the
full length OF the claims. The new
owners are organizing company to
develop the ground and will immedi-
ately put four men to work.
The. consideration has not been
made public, but it is presumed to be
a considerable figure. Mr.. Wilcox
has been the real pioneer in the de-
velopment of this section q; the Was
suk range, being that portion west Of
Walker Lake, most difficult of ac-
cess, but which is now being. opened
