off bridges, and horses into pits; when
burglars are attempting to get INTO

Mississippi river runs into the keo-
kuk and Hamilton bridge and knocks

icasions when the Keokuk fire depart

of self determination, but for the
God given right OF self preservation.
The hearing was denied her. The
United States sat silent. or II not
silent powerless. That was the sec
ond act OF her copartnership with
Europe.
"And so came India and Syria and
Egypt and ireland asking at least
for a hearing. But hearing was
denied-denied by America. Who
doubts that had the president been
free he. as the representative of this
free republic. would have given them
q hearing, But he was a member Of
an embryonic league. He was In a
partnership and compelled to respect
the wishes Of his co-partners. So
for the first time in the history Of
this republic, the representatives of
America were compelled to turn a
deaf ear to those who were asking
for a harrington justice, for free
dom, for liberty.
Now they ask us to sit in as a
permanent member of the league.
And YOU know Mr.. Balfour says that
this League of Nations is nothing
more than the Versailles conference
under another name. In this league
one vote in Europe may veto every
move for justice or for freedom OF
an oppressed people. In this league
by reason Of our association, as at
Versailles, we are no longer that un-
embarrassed and independent people
free to throw our influnce and count
sci upon the side of right. The men
and women who make up the fight
ing strength and moulding powers of
the Republican party, of the party
of Lincoln, of Garfield and OF Roose-
vela, Joined by hundreds OF thous-
ands OF Democrats, will never COM
promise on this question. There is
today in the world no influence for
peace and for civilization equal TO
the free and untrammeled American

try, reardless of party, Will preserve
that influence, uncompromised and
untarnished.p

To Preserve Ferns.

There are at least two very salts
factory ways, to. preserve maIden-hair
ferns. One Is to dip the ferns as soon
as gathered In perfectly limp,d gum
water This should be done very care

for two or three minutes, arrange In

Is 10 put the ferns, when first gathered,

short time ago and was. recently
In Fallon attending to business mat

The deceased was uniformly es-
teemed by those who knew him and
these were many. He served this
county in many official capacities,
including that of district attorney.
He also served his constituency here
in the state legislature and as a
county commissioner. 1t is recalled
by his old time friends here that he
was one of the few in the old days
when United States senators we're
elected by state legislators who had
a record that was unimpeachable
and no temptation ever proved suf-
ficiently great to swerve him from
the path of duty as he saw it. After
all no higher tribute can be paid to
the memory of any one

morning was brief, stating that the
funeral would be held in this city,

the remains will arrive here on to-

services will occur ON Friday after
noon.

THIRTEEN YEARS AGO
RIVER WAS At FLOOD STAGE

Ii was thirteen years ago last
Sunday when Fallon was assailed by
a flood which exceeded anything
within the recollection of the oldest
inhabitant. The Fallon-Hazen rail-
road line had Just been finished and
the heavens gave forth a downpour
for a thirty-six hour period, accom-
panied by balmy temperatures.
There was no Lahontan dam to re-
tain the flow and 1t came down from
the Sierras in record breaking vol
ume. leaving the Carson river bed at
the railroad crossing west OF town.
The district north of the court house
was covered with rapidly flowing wa
ter to a depth OF from two to three
feet, while the Verplank addition
was also inundated, to consider
able depth. w. IL. Austin. now a
merchant of Fernley, attempted to
reach the higher elevations on south
Maine street on horseback and the
animal breasted torrent swimming
for more than hundred yards, Mr.
Austin barely escaping with his life.
Meanwhile the. residents OF the
western part of town had started to
construct a levee when warning of
the approaching flood was first
sounded and several hundred of the
men of the town worked for a day
and a night to divert the great vol
ume of water away from their homes.
The incident is remembered by all OF
the older residents of Fallon who now
sense absolute safety in the great
Lahontan dam where any Hood that
could be given of by the Carson
river watershed could be taken care

turned today from trip to the oil
fields of southern California where
he went recently to purchase ma

work on the company's leased
ground four miles east of this city.
Mr.. Cam bought a standard oil
drilling rig in the Bakersfield dis
trict which is now being loaded on
cars for shipment to this city. 1t is
the purpose of the Churchill County
Oil and Gas Company's management
to continue sinking at the old well

feet. Ten inch casing will probably
be used in the future by the Church

SMALL FLOCK OF HENS
EXCELLENT INVESTMENT

Some idea of the profit in the
poultry business. In a small way, can
be had by the experience of Mrs.
w. II. Caldwell of Fallon, Nevada.
Mrs. Caldwell is the daughter of
r. q. Delano. manager of the Salem
Automobile Co.. of Salem, Ore.
Mrs. Caldwell not only under
stands the poultry business thor
oughly. but also keeps books and
positively knows what her flock is
producing. After figuring all ex-
penses OF 165 hens for one year. to-
gether with the expense of keeping
$50 baby chicks up to five months
old this little bunch of 165 hens net
ted a little over $500 for the twelve
months.
Mrs. Caldwell uses all the modern
methods and In the winter months
works her hens under electric lights.
When you take into consideration
that her grain costs her five cents
per pound and that she Is not located
near the large cities and sells her
eggs to her local merchant, some
idea can be had as TO the possibili-
ties of the poultry business II prop
erly handled
Mrs. Caldwell cannot understand
why more women do not get into
this pleasant and profitable bust
ness, for the work keeps them out oil
doors in addition to making them In
dependent.
Mrs. Caldwell says, give me five
acres of land near some good town
and 1000 laying hens and can
show an annual profit of $4,000.
Are there any readers of this
journal that can exceed the record
of this little flock ?-Northwes'
Poultry Journal.
