4 BIG SUCCESS

The ladies OF the Ycringon Social
League keei well repaid for their many
hours d; hard work, for the bazaar
and cafateria lunch held at the Rink
last Friday afternoon and evening
was most certainly big success.
They had provided quantities OF good
things to eat but the few hungry
people who came for supper about
8 O'Clock found very little left and the
useful and beautiful things made by
skillful Fingers through the winter and
spring found ready sale. They are
tired but happy because the League
purse is heavy and the obligations as
sumed by them in repairing the church
may soon be paid oil. They will lack
lust a little OF completing the pay
ment.
They desire to extend sincere
thanks to all who in any way contri-
buted to this success, those who do
mated food and labor and money. as
well as those who patronized the
Bazaar

GASOLINE SHORTAGE
BECOMING SERIOUS

The country wide shortage OF gaso-
line is about to be brought home very
-orcioly to the public Of Ycrington
and the country tributary to this
place. Mr.. Barnes. local agent Of
the Standard Oil Co.. informs the
Times that the company has allotted
certain amounts OF gas to the various
cities throughout the country in order
to make All equal distribution Of the
available supply. Ycrington is using
$50 gallons daily in excess OH the
amount allotted this territory. and un-
less immediate action is taken to less
eli tho consumption it is believed the
company will find it necessary to
ration out the supply to the dealers
here.
The situation is so serious that the
Commercial Club. has called a meet
ing for Thursday, May 20, at which
time the matter will be discussed.
and it is hoped that some solution
may be found. Auto owners through
out the valley have been notified, and
a large attendance is expected.

they DON'T WANT
Il. REFERENDUM VOTE

A petition signed by A. L. Lasher
of Washoc county, and filed III the
secretary Of states Office Thursday
by Attorneys G. L. Mack and Arth-
ur Lasher, requesting that the Off
cialpnot submit 1.-The question Of the
state legislatures action on ratify-
ing the prohibition amendment to the
q. S. constitution to the vote OF the
people at the next general election,
was denied, Mr.. Brodigan says OH
the advice Of the attorney general,
who holds that as the referendum
petitions are in regular form the Sec
retary OF the state has nothing to do
but file them, says the Carson News.
The referendum petitions, which
ask that Assembly Joint and Con-
current Resolution No. /, passed by
he legislature, January 20, 1919, be
placed on the ballot for use at the
next general election for approval or
disapprovai by the people, were
filed in the secretary Of states Office
December 20, last. Supplemental
petitions were filed January 9th of
this year.
Mr.. Lasher, in his petition, claims
that the secretary of state is without
power and jurisdiction to submit the
question to the voters and without
authority Of law to certify the same
to the county clerk. 1t is also point
ed out that the submission of the
question to referendum will great
iy increase the costs of elections
this year.
1t is generally understood that
legal proceedings will be brought to
enjoin the secretary df state from
submitting the legislatures ratifica-
ton of the prohibition amendment
to the federal constitution to a refer
endum Of the people this coming
fall.

WANT TO CHANGE
RAILROAD TINE

The Southern Pacific Company has
advised the Public Service Commits
sion that It has under consideration
a new time table under which passci1-
gers from San Francisco for Lake
Tahoe, Reno and Goldfield would
leave San Francisco 800 a. m.--Sac-
ramcnto ll:4O a. m.--Rcno $40 PM.
thus giving daylight service from
San Francisco to Lake Tahoe and
Reno and only one night cnrouutc
between San Francisco and Cold
icld instead Of two nights. Tono-
pah sleeper would be carried on that
train.
w. y. Forster Of the Tonopaf
and Coldficld Railway strongly en-
dorscs this proposed service and also
desires to change the daylight train
from Goldfield to Reno by arranging
to have The train leave Goldtield 7:3O
or 800 a. III. instead Of $50 As at
present. He claims the present
schedule causes hardship upon his
patrons and il. not rcmcdicd Coldfield
will file formal protest
In connection with this matter, A.
M. Ardrcy, of the Virginia and True
kec Railway, desires the rc-establish-
ment of its old schedule OF No. l80
from Wabuska to Mound House ar
irving there 4:40 p. m, instead OF the
present schedule and arriving Reno
at $50 p. M, as formerly.
The suggested schedules appear
reasonable to this Commission, but
we arc bound under section So IL,
Public Service Law to give public
notice and entertain protests If made.

DOC UUGHL|M
ON SHEEP, ETC

Doc. Laughlin, who has been boss
ing a bunch al sheep shcarcrs at
Fletcher's for the past month is in
town. He reports that IS per cent
of this years lambs have perishcd
from cold and scarcity OF feed.
Speaking of the roads, Doc says
that the ordinary sheephcrder will
go "a miles out Of his way just to
drive his bunch over the county roads,
the consequence being that the roads
are FULL of rocks. He says that some
of the herders have the sheep trained
to kick rocks into a good stretch of
road and that the rocks are becom-
ing so accustomed to it that when a
band of sheep are approaching they
take time by the iforelock and just
roll into the road.
And Doc, whose veracity is un-
questioned. says these sheep and
rocks reminds him OF the time he was
driving prairie schooner for George
Green. He says that there was one
old wagon that would begin to Jump
whenever the leader stumbled over a
rock. One day the leader stepped in
TO badger hole and the wagon jump
ed so hard that Doc was thrown out
and sustained broken leg.

posing His Game.

New York.-A group of screen mag
hates and music publishers along
Broadway has been fieeced out of
$350,0O0 by wealthy manufactures
with deck of marked cards, whom
they admitted to their private games.
He was finally detected and thrown
out Of the house of the man who
story, calling the fleecer Mr.. Trimmer
and the other man Mr.. Screen. 1t as
SertS it has their real names.
For considerable time a group of
twelve or fourteen men, all of ample
means, have been playing stud poker.
There We're Mr.. Screen, big picture
promoter and the husband of one of
the prettiest and most talented stars;
Mr.. Flickers, of equal rank in cellu-
lOid productions; Mr. Circuit, who
owns flock of theaters; Mr.. Ragg,
who receives immense royalties from
his song compositions, and others quite
as well known in their respective
fields.
Last summer, at Far Rockaway and
Arverne, their ranks were augmented
by Mr.. Trimmer. He is manufac-
turer on an imV nse scale of certain
article of wop.en's wear, and is gen.
orally known as a millionaire.
They Thought 1t Was Luck.
Mr.. Trimmer's ''uncanny luck" as
the other players called it, was notice
able from the very start. In one ses-
sion, for instance. which began on
a Saturday night and continued into
Sunday, he cleaned up p>ore than $40-
600.
The daring of Mr.. Tiymmer's play
was what interested the others more
than anything else. He would make
bets against seeming'y impossible
odds-and win them.
MIR. Trimmer always knew what the
other fellows secret card was, when
he was the dealer, ana he always won.
Also he always knew, when he held
the deck, what card his opponent
would get neyt, and what card he
(Trimmer) was going to get next, for
his cards were what is known to gam
blers as readers"

General w. S. Graves, commanding the
American forces in Siberia. said:
Il cannot leave unmentOned the
fact that Major Johnson. having splen-
didly fulfilled his plan in guarding the
town and the peaceful population
though exposing his own life to danger
under furious fire, succeeded four times
in getting through to the passenger

proceeded to beat Trimmer up. winding
