"These people evidently were adj
vanced to the stage of paleolithic cul-
ture, an earlier age than the period
Of heolithic culture, to which most of
the American Indians belonged. These
early Texas inhabitants had arrows
and spears tipped with flint points,
Clipped but not polished. They did
not polish their stone weapons, nor
did they engage in any form of agri-
culture. They we're. however, skill
full Skin dressers, for we have found
scraping tools made Of flint.
The kitchen middens which we dis
covered are the only thing of their
kind in America, so far as l know,
although they had been found in other
parts of the world. At these sites,
camps were located with a great fire
place in the center, over which huge
slabs of limestone were placed as a
sort of primitive stove, upon which
to cook the meat the inhabitants
killed.

1--WE know these people were canni-
balls, for among the refuse heaps have
been found human bones split apart
in order to get at the marrow.
1.-THE soft limestone slabs, being ex-
posed to the weather, broke from time
to time, and were cast aside nearby,
to be replaced by new ones.
SIN the course Of our investigations
we have completely examined some
fifteen of these mounds and in them
have found thousands of splendid spe-
cimens of Clipped arrow and spear
heads, as we'll as scraping tools and
other implements. Bones of the deer,
which were prevalent in this region,
are found in profusion, indicating that
this was the principal article of diet"

clare that feeding of lambs and sheep
is being reduced sharply in the West
ern states, but the trade does not
manifest any bullishness over prices.
The reason for this is the feeling that
any deficiency in feeding in the West
will be more than Offset by offerings
of frozen lamb and mutton from for
eign countries"
There you have the whole thing in
a nutshell. Why should the Ameri-
can meat buyer 60 out TO buy Ameri-
can lambs and sheep when he knows
that there will be cheaper lambs and
sheep offered him from Australia,
Argentine and New Zealand. He BUYS
where he can buy the cheapest. in
accordance with the true Democratic
doctrine. In the meantime. the
American rancher goes out of the live
stock business and then the Ameri-
can dealer and consumer are at the
mercy OF the foreign producer.
Free trade kills the sheep that
brings golden dollars to American
industry.

FRANK GOLDEN MARRIED
MISS ELSIE HERR IN TEXAS

Frank Golden and Miss Elsie Herr,
both well-known young people of
Reno, were married Monday at East
land, Texas, according to the Ga
zette. They will make their home
at Tifin, Texas, where Golden has
charge of the commissary department
of the Vulcan Oil company.
Golden has been in Texas for the
past year and a half. Mrs. Golden, ac-
companied by her sister, Miss Emma
Herr. left Reno about two weeks ago
for an indefinite visit" the true ma
ture of which was not known to their
friends until the news of Miss Elsie
Here's marriage was received.
Golden is the son of Mrs. Frank
Golden, formerly of Reno and
of Brookline, Mass. He was born in
Carson City and educated in the Ne
vada schools, attending the University
of Nevada with the class of 1915. In
1917 he vas a member of the state
legislature. He acted in the capacity
of manager of the Hotel Golden at
Reno for several years before the war

corps in France. Before going to
Texas he was connected with the st.
Francis hotel in San Francisco.
Mrs. Golden is the daughter of the
late Rudolph Herr and was born and
raised in Reno. She attended the

CAR JUST KEPT ON MOVING
Lucky for Sleeping Occupants That
the Road Had Been Cut Up by
Heavy Wagon.

recall a funny motoring Incident
that might have turned out decidedly
otherwise if II had not been for a
mere chance. writes a correspondent.
II occurred In the country during the
early spring.
A young fellow and his sister were
returning in the wee small hours from
a dance in a neighboring town. He
was driving a flvver. They were both
very tired. and finally they both
dropped off to sleep.
1t SO happened that late the day be
fore a heavy farm wagon had passed
that way. leaving deep ruts In the mud,
and during the evening these had froZ-
en- solid. The ear got INTO these ruts
and ran along them with 10 n guild
ing II for some time. The tracks turn
ed several corners and finally turned
into q farmyard and went into the
barn.
The filv turned the and fol-
lowed the tracks into the yard. II
was going straight on and would have
smashed into the barn door had not
the girl walked In time to see the build
ing looming up just in front OF them.
Realizing the situation Immediately.
she damned on the brake and stopped
the car a few feet from the closed
door.
! am assured that this Is q perfectly
true story.

team will engage a team from the
Lovelock high school at eight o'clock
at the high school auditorium.
The visiting aggregation will come
to this city in automobiles and during
the day will be entertained by the

to be a spirited n as the Winnemuc-

hands of the Pershing county boys
last year and are determined to re-
verse the situation this year.
Preceding the boys game there will
be a contest between two picked teams

All That Affected Her.

That the Empress Eugene Is not
prone to brood seniimentally over the
past Is evidenced by an incident that
occurred some years ago. She visited
Windsor castle, a palace In which In
the golden DAYS Of the empire she was
received as an honored guest. Those
who accompanied her on this second
visit lowered near her. fearing that
she would he overcome with the con
trast between the past and the present.
especially when she viewed the apart
ments fitted up for her use and which
had not been changed. But II was
merely her artistic sense that was of
Tended. The hangfngs Of the huge
bed were of imperial purple with the
green Of NAPOLEON. and the ex-empress
remarked disgustedly. "Toujours ces
affreux rideaux. !" always those
frightful curtains"

NEW EXPERIMENT IN
COMMUNITY SPIRIT

The entire country will watch with
an experiment to be tried by
the city of Dayton, Ohio. Realizing
that they are being Disseminated
against by people who imagine they
can buy cheaper and get better bar
gains in a larger city, Dayton mer-
chants and manufacturers are raising
a half-million dollar fund to be spent
on educating the people OF that city
to buy at home. Keep Dayton Dol
lars in Dayton" is the slogan that
is going to stare at people OF that
city from newspaper columns. They
are going to appeal to the conscience
of Dayton people by asking them this
question: "If Dayton is good enough
to make your money in, why isn't 1t
good enough to spend it in"
We could very well ask the same
question of Winnemucca people who
also imagine they a buy cheaper In
a bigger town-people who never stop
to consider that goods must sell high
er where rents are higher, clerks
more costly, to say nothing of take:
and big lighting bills and the thou
sand items that go toward keeping
I'D a city store. We. too. a poinI
out the fact that when u merchants
want work done they don't send on
of town for men to do it, as long as II
is possible to get it done by a home
man. They %patronize the home mar
every time, and the home physician
and when they die a home undertaken
gets the job of burying them.
II 1t is worth a half-million dollars
70 Dayton to keep her dollars at home
then it ought to be worth a whole
lot to us to keep ours here. So. Il
you are addicted to the ~deplorablt
habit of buying out of town, sit dowr
and ask yourself this question: III
this town is good enough for me t.
make my money in. why isn't 1t goot
enough for me to spend 1t in?"

MORE MUTTON AND
LAMB ARE IMPORTED

Press dispatches from Kansas City
convey the information that importa-
lions of mutton and lamb from New
Zealand, Australia and Argentine
have depressed the trade in sheep and
lambs in the stock yards of u West
ern cities. Thus does the removal of
economic barriers" and freedom of
transit" get in it's destructive work on
the American farm. Under the Re-
publican tariff law, fresh meat paid
a duty of one and one-half cents a
pound, but the Democratic tariff law
put hat commodity on the free list.
Live sheep paid a duty of seventy-ive
cents to one dollar a head, according
to age. under the Republican law, and
the Democrats removed the barrier
entirely.
This placing Of sheep, lambs and
mutton on the free list was for the
avowed purpose Of reducing the cost
of living. Many other commodities
were placed on the free list for the
same purpose. But the records of the
government show that the removal of
the protective duty had no such eff
feet. The cost of living steadily rose
even before the wal brought it's scar
city of food and its inflated prices.
To the short-sighted statesman or
| citizen, the argument for the removal
of a protective import duty on food
products is appealing. 1t is a natural
conclusion that if we charge an i'm
port duty Of seventy-five cents per
head on the importation of lambs, and
later remove that duty, the price of
lambs will fall seventy-five cents per
head. But the theory does not work
out in practice. The real result is
that the foreign producer ships in his
lambs free, adds seventy-five cents
more to his profit. and. by flooding the
American market with foreign stock,
drives the American producer out OF
business. With the American industry
ruined, the foreigner is in a position
to name his own price, and his price
advances beyond what it was when
the American producer was supplying
the home market.
We had an impressive demonstra-
tion of this in the case of tin. Fol
many, many years America depended
upon foreign countries. chiefly Wales
for tin plate. The Mckinley act OF
1890 put an import duty on tin plate
over the protests of Democrats who
argued that the duty would be added
to the price the consumer must pay
The theory did not work, for. with
protection assured. American tin fac
tories were erected and such a lively
competition created that the price Of
tin went steadily down.
The best way to get cheap meat In
America is to build up a large do
nestle meat industry. The farmer
must be assured of his home markeI
and the dealer must learn that he
cannot buy abroad unless he pays
price which includes an import duty

BUSINESS QUIET IN
EAST SAYS REMOTE

Extension of existing power prof.
ects or development of new ones are
handicapped by inability of companies
to market securities.
No extensive improvement of the
power situation in Nevada is planned
at present and only work planned sew
eral years ago Is being done over the
West.
Expense of operating plants of all
descriptions has become a serious
problem for officials of public utili-
ties.
These are some of the facts learned
by George Campbell, general manager
Of the Reno Power, Light & Water
Co., who has returned to Reno after
an extended trip to large financial
centers of the East. He spent two
weeks in Boston where he conferred
with the heads of the Stone Webster
Company. which company controls the
Reno concern as well as many of the
largest power companies of the coun-
try, states the Gazette.
After his two weeks in Boston. Mr..
Campbell spent a week in New York
and several days in Washington.
Business. generally, appears very
quiet over the East" he said. The
retail merchants everywhere appear
to be advertising reduced price sales.
The effort to get cash seems to oc-
cupy the attention of business men
in all lines.
MANY of the large factories of the
New England states have been closed
or are operating only part time," he
continued. This is particularly true
in the wooden and shoe industries.
Wage troubles and lack of markets
for manufactured goods are given as
the principal causes Probably half
of the shoe factories have been closed
by lack of a market. / heard there
were large SURPRISES in woolens and
shoes and that the factories could not
resume full time operation until sales
picked up somewhat.
Marketing of securities by public
utility companies Is a difficult prob
lem at present" he added. There has
been a small market developed in the
past few days. but selling any eight
per cent bond at present Is an impos-
sibility. ! was told by bond statesmen.
The investor is shy Of the public util-
ity security because Of the greatly in
creased cost of operation and 1t IL
difficult to see how such costs can be
reduced under existing conditions"
