Women Are Half
The People
JUST AND NECESSARY THAT
THEY SHOULD HAVE PLACE
IN L. s. SENATE

Women of Nevada, will you use
your vote to elect a woman to the
L. s. Senate?
1t is Just that women should help
govern our country. Women are half
the people. Their unpaid labor In
their homes earns half their family's
support. Women create half the
wealth, yet only men govern us and
make the conditions under which we
live and work. More than 5000 men
have been elected to Congress since
our nation was founded and only one
woman. Is it not time to elect
women?
Women are needed. Men legisla-
tors have protected property rights.
Women legislators will protect human
rights. Our Congress of men gives
little consideration to the needs of
women and children. For example,
Congress appropriated $47,OOO,O0O last
year to guard hogs, cattle and crops
from disease but refused $4,00O,0 900 to
save $4,000 mothers and $4,000 babies
who die every year in this country
from preventable causes. Women who
will fight for mothers and children
are needed in Washington.
are Democrats. but you are women
are Democrats, bu you are women
first Will you use your political
power for women and children rather
than for the success OF any party?
VIII you register before October 12,
when registration closes, and do your
part in the fight for women in gov
ernment by voting for me for the
U. s. Senate?

P. Thompson
Takes OunL
AGT COMMITTED At HIS HOME
IN SUSANYILLE WHERE He
WAS IN BUSINESS

Peter Thompson, former resident
of Gardneryille, where he engaged in
the photograph business, committed
suicide at Susanville Wednesday
night according to information receiv-
ed here yesterday morning and veri-
fled by telephone to the Lassen Advo-
cate published in that city. No defi-
mite cause for his rash act could be
obtained.
The writer was in Susanville Sun
vile Sunday afternoon and spent an
hour or so conversing with Mr.
Thompson. He appeared to be in the
best of spirits and took much pride in
showing us his new building which
was recently completed, costing in
the neighborhood of $4,000. He de-
elared that Susanvlle had a wonder
full future, and from the amount of
building and the new mills ready to
start operation his prediction was
substantiated by facts.
Deceased was about so years of
age and besides his widow, is surviv-
ed by one sister, Mrs Ben Clock re-
siding at Minden

SHEEP MEN OF IDAHO CUT
WAGES OF HERDERS

A press dispatch from Pocatello.
Idaho, says that a maetrial reduct-
ion in operating expenses and over
head charges in the sheep business Is
vital necessity If the industry is to
survive Is the reason assigned for a
35 per cent reduction in wages recent
ly put ihto effect by the Idaho-Neva-
da Livestock company. of Pocatello.
The reduction has been accepted by
the employees of this company who
understand that the returns from the
business will no longer justify high
wages, according to officials.
Xaviel Savel. one of the best known
noclcmasters in the west, is presi-
dent of the company. He declared
that growing of sheep vital indus
try to the northwest and "if it Is to
survive. we must get back to the
fundamentals of economy all along
the line" The company's program
for curtailment of operating expenses
has excited the interests of many
other sheep men in Idaho.

RICKEY DAMAGE CASE IS
ATTRACTING MUCH ATTENTION

The interest of the people of Car
son Valley this week Is centered on
the damage suit instituted by Mrs.
Dora Hickey against the Douglas
Milling and Power company, being
tried before jury in sthe district
court at Minden. The jury was Sc
cured last Friday and Saturday the
taking of testimony started and was
still in progress yesterday afternoon.
1t is probable that the taking of evil
dence will be completed today or to-
morrow, but this is not known for
fact.
The sessions of court are being at
tended by large number of specta-
tors from all parts OF the valley, who
find the testimony given on both sides
very interesting.
The Record Courier is not even
publishing brief report of the testi-
mony given by witnesses or in any
manner commenting upon the case,
in this issue for various reasons.
The jury selected to hear this dam
age case is composed of the following:
John Riemann. T. Cross, G. w. Selby,
Herman Becker, l.. L. Hawkins. Peter
Change. Hans Johnson. Patrick Shaw.
VIM. Schacht, Arnot Hawkins, Byron

OF LACK OF PRINTERS
INK

Tasker l.. Oddie, republican candi-
date for United States Senator, Samuel
s. Arentz. Republican candidate for
Representative In Congress and Frank
Norcross. former member Of the Ne
vada Supreme Court, addressed the
first political meeting held In Gard
nerville during the present campaign
at the Star theatre Saturday night.
Owing to counter attractions, and the
fact that no time was given to adyer-
tise the visit of the candidates, very
small crowd was in attendance.
Tasker l.. Oddie gave an interesting
address and told his hearers what he
would endeavor to do if elected to the
United Senate. He touched upon many
OF the important political issues of the
day and was heartily applauded by his
hearers.

.ighOay Work
Is Commended

Work of pouring concrete on the
Observation-Disclosures highway started
last Friday morning. and despite num-
erous delays caused by a balky gas
engine that operates the mixer. good
Roadway has been made. Tuesday
and Wednesday an average of 300 feet
of concrete was laid each day and the
contractors hope to soon be laying
approximately $50 feet per day and
should the daily average only be 300
feet the highway will be completed In
thirty working days.
The work being done by Bishop and
Griscomb. the contractors, is far above
the work done on the Reno-Carson
road, being much smoother and has
far better surface. The snb-grade on
the Minden n-Gardnerville road is the
best yet laid in the state, according to
those who claim to know. Motor
trucks loaded with crushed rock and
weighing IL ton have been run over
the sub-grade without even leaving
wheel mark
Engineer Williams, who represents
the state highway department, is we'll
pleased with the work being done,
while Mr.. Little. who has the hauling
contract, and who has had much to do
with road building in Nevada, speaks
in highest terms of the manner in
which this highway is going in.
Engineer Williams also reports that
work on the cutoff from the Cardinal
ranch to the Main Carson road in the
Haybourn district, will start next
week. The state has taken over the
work where Kibbie and Gibson quit
and will finish this contract, Mr..
Williams to have. supervision of the
work.
When asked If there was any possi-
bility of the highway work being
held up for want of material, Mr..
Williams stated that he thought not
There is enough crushed rock to COM
plete about one-third of the highway
and should the county crusher be un-
able to supply the required material
steps will be taken by the highway
department to ship in material by
rail.
Both. the contractors and highway
department are exceedingly anxious
to complete the concrete road this
fall and are bending every effort to
that end. The contractors declare
that with favorable weather for the
next thirty days. and a supply of ma
terial always on hand, the work will
be completed. The highway depart
ment will exert every effort to pre-
vent any delays for lack of material
and are giving every possible aid to
the contractors.

Relics of Earlu
Days Secured

Miss Jeannie Elizabeth Wier, secre-
etary of the Nevada Historical Society
spent the weekend in Douglas coun-
ty perfecting the War History organi-
zation of the county and attending to
other interests of the state historical
work.
On her return she brought to the
museum several articles reminiscent
OF the life of the old station, includ-
ing the lock and key from the first
postoffice In the state. 1t is a massive
affair of copper and iron weighing
nearly five pounds, says the Reno
Gazette. and its handle ring is two in
ches across, The building is which
the postoffice was kept was sadler's
shop In the rear of the present Ray
Grant hotel. In it Stephen A. Kinsey,
postmaster and sadler, also publish
ed the famous Scorpion" the first
newspaper in Nevada. The Scorpion"
was handw ritten sheet and was
passed around from one member of
the community to another.
Another souvenir Miss Weir obtain
ed Is a copy of Johnson's pocket die
tionary OF the English language auto
graphed by Stephen A Kinsey, one of
the builders of the Mormon station.
He brought the dictionary with him
from Salt Lake in the early SOS. In
the back OF the book Is chronology
cal table from the Creation to the
Present Time" One of the last items
in the table is the Formation of the
French Republic. 1S4S." and Louis
Napoleon. first President OF France,
1S4s."
These and other souvenirs were
given to the society by d. r. Hawk
ins of Genoa. brother-in-law of Mr.
Kinsey. He is one of the few remain
ing pioneers who lived through the
early days at Mormon Station. Hith-
erto he has placed In the state mu-
scum many valuable relics of Mormon
Station, such as the crane and ad-
irons from the first fireplace, the
stamp and inkwell from the old post
office. and reminders of "Snowshoe"
Thompson.

HARDING SUPPORTED BY
RANCHERS AND STOCKMEN

The speeches of Senator Harding
have made most favorable impress
sion upon the ranching and livestock
interests in the West, according to let
ters pouring into the western head
quarters Of the National Committee at
San Francisco.
In spite of the impression which
prevails among some people who have
not studied the subject that the farm
ers and livestock men of the country
are at the peak of prosperity because
prices for their products are high,
it Is well known among practical men
and agricultural experts that the
agricultural conditions are anything
but satisfactory.
1t is not alone that the farm labor
situation is serious and that help is
leaving the farms for the cities, but
great deal of agricultural and live
stock business is actually being done
at loss. Ranchers and livestock
men have received little or no intelli-
gent help or cooperation from the
government under the Democratic ad-
ministration: They have suffered
grievously through the ignorance of
the Democrats In dealing with farm
prices and especially livestock prices.
The announcement of the production
of food animals is absolutely essential
II the country is ever to get relief in
the way of lower meat prices.
Complaints are coming from the
livestock sections of the country that
the cattle feeders have been losing
from $25 to SIS per head on their cat
tie. Hog producers have been losing
from 81 to IS per hundred on their
hogs. To those who are familiar only
with city conditions this may seem
astonishing, but 1t is nevertheless
vouched for in authoritative quarters.
One of the drawbacks of the live
stock producers, as it is to the gener-
al farmer, is the shortage of cars,
which is greatly interfering with
shipments. This shortage of cars
follows as logical sequence of the
failure of the Railroad Administra-
ton when it was operating the rail-
roads to exercise reasonable judgment
and foresight. to make provisions for
needed new freight equipment and to
keep freight cars in repair.
Altogether there Is unquestionably
need for the most intellingent govern
mental policies possible If the live
stock production of this country is to
be increased. Stockmen and ranchers
believe that If Senator Harding is
elected President he will see to 1t that
the Department of Agriculture is so
organized and conducted as to meas
ure up to the needs of the times,

HEAVY WIND DOES
DAMAGE At
SHERIDAN

Tuesday night and Wednesday Car
son Valley was visited by one of the
heaviest wind storms of the year and
at Sheridan 1t is said to be the heay-
lest wind experienced there in 25
years. The porch at the home of
Arthur Brockliss was demolished
while the upper story of the Russell
building was shifted several inches.
Trees were blown down in many
parts of the Valley while the tele-
phone service was crippled and power
and light of both companies were of
for several hours Wednesday fore
noon
Following the windstorm quite a
heavy fall of snow is reported In the
mountains. a party of tourists re-
porting ten inches of snow on the
Grass Lake summit Other reports
state that about six inches of snow
fell there
The early storm will probably
delay the work being done by the
Alpine Land and Reservoir company
at their reservoirs in the high noun
tains. A crew of men have been at
work for the past several weeks en-
larging the reservoir system, and the
extreme coldw Gather which followed
the storm will probably hinder In
continuing concrete work. The
farmers interested In the enlargement
of the storage system are extremely
anxious to have the work continue
as late as possible and are hoping for
several weeks more of favorable
weather.
