Socialists Renew Attacks
Government Severely Arraigned
in Italian Chamber of Depnt;es

ROME, March 25.-The Chamber of
Deputies was again the scene to-day of
policy-nationalist acquisition, unpro-
ductive colonies and wasteful expendi-
ture-by radical Socialist members
The Socialist Graziadei declared that
the public debt amounted tao 100 OO0.-
100000 lire and that the budget deficit
would reach 10,00o,000,ooo lire, and, de-
spite this deplorable situation, the
budget for the coming year was higher
than ever.
Attacks were also made against the
government policy with respect to

Massacres Since Armistice Laid

LONDON, March 25--ar~ars recent
iy massacred 10000 Armenians within
the boundaries of the new Armenian
state at the instigation Of the Young
Turks in the Azerbaijan government
according to Archbishop Kholn. an
Armenian from Erivan, who has ar

the Armenian Republic with Allied au-
sASSities regarding the situation in
Armenia.
Three thousand persons are being

OF the Armenian frontier are being held
by the Tartars, according to the Arch
bishop. He says that in December the
Tartars murdered $4,000 Armenians at
Akoulis, in Azerbaijan, on the pretext
that Tartars had been massacred in
Armenian territory. The Archbishop
said also that many massacres since the

due to the fact that the frontiers be-
not clearly defined.

NEATNESS PAYS.

Did il ever occur TO you that the neat
woman always appears better dressed
than the woman who Is untidy in the way
she puts on her clothes? In these days
when clothes are high in price, neatness
pays more than ever before.
A long time ago Frenchwoman, La
Grande Mademoiselle, as she was called,
the granddaughter Of Henry ", expressed
the essence of this theory in the following
words:
Il am very indifferent about my dress,
but never untidy; / hate slovenliness.
am always neat and, whether dressed
carefully or carelessly, all put on is in
good taste. / do not mean that do not
look incomparably better when carefully
got up; but carelessness is less injurious
to me than To Others, because without
fattering myself, while | do justice to all
/ wear, everything put on becomes me"
Now this woman was, as she herself
admits, careless-by which she meant,
obviously, that she did not spend the
hours and hours in the pursuit OF her
toilette that most other court ladies of

Men holding such positions are men who

Will women prove themselves able to
ho,d such big jobs, and be fit tn run great
businesses that employ thousands of work
ing people? Thi, is an interesting problem
There is psychological element present
in oil human relations, and this is perhaps
especially so in the relation of employer
and employe. Once the novelty of having
a woman foreman, q woman manager
In big business wears off, she may be
found unexpectedly good at such work.
Women have had 10 manage men from
time immemorial. A woman who has the
right training, and who keeps her intuitive
and psychological power should be able
to prove usefu, in grasping the point of
view of both sides of the combination that
makes industry, of explaining each TO each,
and of therefore being extremely va.uab,e
to both.
Perhaps they may successfully claim
some of the those big jobs that are now
going begging.

THE OAK AND THE BUSH.

Once upon time on the top Of high
moutain there grew very handsome bush.
In the spring it put out dainty flowers OF
yellow and the blossoms filed the warm
air with fragrance. About the bush tiny
fairies danced and the soft moonlight light
ed it up with goldern glory.
Not far off grew small, scribby
shoot of green. 1t was thin and strag-
Rly. II hardly seemed to be alive at
ALL and when the storm stripped off
its few leaves it stood out against the
sky like stick.
Yet it was alive. No one noticed il
rs it humbly shivercd in the winter
storm or put forth few leaves in the
spring.
The golden bush fourished. Every
year it grew more beautiful. Travellers
stopped to praise its beauty, children
gathered its golden blossoms to carry to
their city homes. Artists painted its glow
on canvas So the bush grew proud and
naughty. 1t turned up its dainty leaves in
scorn at the scraggy little plant which
struggled on year after year with a scant
existence. But the little plant did not
notice--it just went on growing the best
it could.
After while the little plant grew
larger Each year it seemed to lift up it's
head higher. Each fall it was able to look
farther down the valley. At last it was as
tall as the bush.

"I~rippose YOU think you are some
thing at last, said the bush as one warm
spring day the plant began to push out
its leaves.
81 am not worrying about what |
am" laughed the little oak--for it was
an oak;"I am busy getting tall and strong.
Don't put on airs because you have
grown Bit" continued the bushi you
must remember that YOU are just a common
plant with no flowers or fragrance. Look
at me; for wears | have borne golden
blossoms and made the air sweet with
perfume. You cannot boast of anything
like that"
mo, / cannot indeed" replied the
oak. 81 am young vet, but | mean to try
with all my strength to do what | can
to be useful in the world ! want to grow
up straight and tall and become fine
tree"
So the young oak kept on growing.
Its trunk became thicker its head reared
up higher and higher and strong branches
shot out in all directions.
But the proud bush did not fare so
well; it grew faded, its branches broke
off, its leaves grew fewer and fewer and
blossoms did not come any more to bright
en- its spring coat.
The young oak grew and one day IL
was selected to make a part of a great
sailing ship, and in time big white sail
was fastened to it and very proudly it
stood as the ship cut its way across the
waves.
The oak was happy, for it was of use to
the great world
On the mountain the bush lay dead,
only one small leaf left to mourn its
sad fate; it had spent its time in vain boast
ing and now it was only dust, and thus
was its pride brought low.

NEVADA CROPS ARE
REPORTED BETTER

Through the month of October good
seasonable weather prevailed through
out Nevada and crop work was ia
vorably affected. The preliminary re-
port of yields shows that with the ex-
ception Of spring wheat all crops are
decidedly more productive this year
than last. Except in the Lovelock
district, yields are about as good as
usual. The production of all wheat
in Nevada is about ninety-four per
cent OF last year. Oats are thirty-on
per cent more plentiful than last year
and barley is about nine per cent.
Potato prospects exceed last years
production by thirteen per cent, while
the hay crop, as estimated last month,
is about sixteen per cent greater.
Fruit and truck crops continue
about as indicated in earlier reports.
Apples are somewhat above average
or two-thirds of normal. Grapes are
excellent and pears a very fair crop.
Beans are reported as good, though
the acreage is smaller than last year.
Tomatoes show a marked decline in
both yield and area compared with
last year. Cabbages are yielding
slightly better than last year, but only
ninety-five per cent as much ground
was devoted to them. Onions are re-
ported as yielding 24O bushels per
acre from eighty-three per cent of the
usual acreage.
Pasture continues much better than
last year and considerably better than
average. Alfalfa seed is reported
from smaller acreage than last year.
The production in the state, with a
yield of five bushels per acre is esti-
mated at 1000 bushels.

STRAW VOTE HERE
z TO | FOR HARDING

The straw vote being taken by the
Rexall stores through the state and
in every state in the Union, shows
that the Republican ticket will be
elected by a landslide, as on October
9th there had been 667 ,4S7 votes cast,
including every state. or this, Hard
ing was given 403,62S and Cox 263,S59
most of these coming from the South
ern states. This gives Harding 345
electoral votes, while Cox got but 1856.
Nevada has thus far cast 1926 votes
for Harding and 326 for Cox, nearly
three to one.. This straw vote of the
Rexall stores is taken each presiden-
tial year, and last election showed
that California would go Democratic,
and is considered the best indication
of how the country is going, over any
other method. So far Harding has
345 electoral votes to 1S6 for Cox. 1t
requires 266 to elect. Winnemucca is
running two to one for Harding and
Coolidge.

LAS VEGAS, New, Oct. 1.-THE
campaigning trip of Tasker l.. Oddie
and Samuel s. Arentz, Republican
candidates for United States Senator
and Representative in Congress, re-
spectively, continues to awaken in
creasing enthusiasm. Even at Beatty
in the course of long Sunday jump
across the Amargosa desert, where
but short notice had been given, a
fine meeting was held at noon in
Miners Union hall. Stops were also
made Sunday at Springdale and Car
rara.
Las Vegas was reached at $50
Sunday evening. The journey of 1876
miles from Goldfield, across a great
desert and down the valley of the
river which runs upside down" (the
Amargosa), made famous by the
name of ChuckawaIla Bill, was ac-
complished without mishap AL
though-th the day was Sunday, only one
small rig was met on the way. That
was work car, not far from this
place. The best that can be said
about the road leading to Las Vegas
from the northwest is that it is not
popular. The candidates car missed
the trail at one place and ran 2h
miles up a mountainside to a deserted
mine. That would give the correct
running distance as 191 miles from
Goldfield to Las Vegas
Saturday evening at Goldfeld was
busily occupied by large reception
rendered by the Parent-Teachers' As
sociation, speechmaking at the Lyric
theatre, a luncheon, and dancing at
the Goidfield hotel until a late hour.
Republican sentiment runs high.
Everywhere one hears of lifelong
Democrats who say they will change
their vote this year. The Wilson ad-
ministration is, of course. the great
matter of dissatisfaction. Protection
seems another issue with people here
abouts. Much comment is made on
the manner in which Odde and
Arentz are working in harmony, in
contradistinction to the course of the
Democratic candidates.
At Beatty, all but four persons in
Miners Union hall put on Harding
and Coolidge buttons and promised
to vote and work for Oddie and
Arentz- At that place Ex-Governor
Oddie remarked In his speech that
Nevada contained the greatest lungs
ten deposits in the United States, and
he brought out the point that Demo-
cratic tariff policies admitted that
metal fror China at such low rates
that not mine in this state is work.
ing
Today (Monday) a round trip TO
GoodspringS is to be made. A meet
ing has been arranged in that place
for this afternoon. Great prepara-
tions are made for the meeting in Las
Vegas tonight. The candidates are
spending the forenoon in meeting
voters about the town. They will do
the same Tuesday morning. ST.
Thomas is scheduled as the first stop
tomorrow.
Republican, organization work has
been actively carried on in Clark
county and decided results are ex-
pected in the election. The mining
interests of Sam Arentz and his wide
acquaintance here will enhance the
popularity of the ticket in general,
