NEVADA'S UNRlVALED
SWEETNESS

It has reveloped that Nevada not
only raises the sweetest young Ia
dies in the world, as a result of its
climate and outdoor freedom, but
its soils contain qualities that make
for an extraordinary saccharine con-
tent in farm products, notably sugar
beets and cantaloupes. The young
ladies of the state have never been
capitalized save as a basis for laud-
alton. The fairest daughters any
where have been appropriated by
love-sick SWANS and taken to the
four corners of the globe, there to
pine for the sagebrush and its mani
fold advantages.
The energetic business men with
in the states farming districts are
setting out to capitalize on a money
profit premise the soil qualities of
the state and the time seems near
at hand when sugar beets will be
converted in wholesale manner into
sugar that will 60. into the marts of
the world along with a delectable
melon, which, like the sagebrush
girl, is without an equal in the wide,
wide world.
Humboldt county has great areas
Of untouched virgin land that can
be given over to melon and sugar
beet culture. The single expedient
Of irrigation is needed to complete
the foundation for an agriculture
that will sustain population many
times in excess of the number that
now resides within this county.
It requires no prophetic vision to
be able to partially visualize the
conditions Of tomorrow in this great
geographical subdivision. Here we
find many valleys with soils as fer
tile as the soils found within the
Valley of the Nile and these valleys
lie within watersheds presenting the
utmost in water development posi-
bilities.
We will be laggards indeed If we
fail to convert these potentialities
into actualities at a not far distant
time.

Editor. The Silver State:
Have you ever heard Of Garlic
tons story Of the boy convict?
Well, this boy had tempered with
fire, as it were, and was being taken

Telling the sheriff Of the things
that had caused this climax, he mem
toned his parents, and said:
"And hadn't | father and mother!
o, yes! just as good as they make |;
Too good, / have often suspected
Though maybe that lasts a, mis-
take);
But they'd travelled so long and SO
steady,
The way to Perfection's abode,
They hadn't any feelings for fell
lows
Who could not as yet find the
road;
And SO, til some far-advanced mile
stone
On goodness pike | could reach,
They thought Of me, not as their
1 own child,
But as one Of the children OF

full than another In holding our boys
and girls in the paths of virtue, II
is the companionship Of Christian
parents. Oh. fathers and mothers
remember your children are looking
to YOU to learn LIES most impor-
tant lessons, and their eyes, II read
right, are saying: "Look where you

TAX RETURNS SHOULD
REMAIN INVIOLATE-

It is well that the conferees on
the tax revision bill agreed to strike
out the provision giving Congress
authority to call upon the treasury
department for income tax returns
of corporations and individuals. We
have already too much govern
mental interference with private at
fairs. The treasury department,
with the cooperation of the de-
partment of justice, has ample au-
thority to see that every man and
every corporation makes an honest
return of his taxable income. The
responsibility for the faithful per-
Torrance Of that duty should be
left with the department where it
is lodged. 1t is quite possible that
the treasury department will not in
all cases secure complete returns
and collect all the taxes legally due,
but there is no likelihood that con-
slant inquiries from congress and
demands for inspection of the rec
ords would result in any material
increase in collections or in expedi-
ton of the work. There is delay
and confusion enough already.
But, aside from that phase of the
matter, the income tax returns
should remain inviolate except fol-
the single question Of their accu.
racy. If congress or a congress.
sional committee could and did cal
for income returns, and made then
subject to committee inspection
there would be no further posi-
bility Of an individual or corpora
ton keeping his business affairs Sc
cret. Business competition Is al
ways keen. Rivals will frequently
resort to extreme measures to ascer
tain the financial status Of theil
competitors. Information Of thil
kind, if available in a critical situa
ton, would enable an unscrupuloul
concern to ruin its unfortunat,
rival, which, if left free to pursu,
its business in the usual way, woult
attain success. There are lot o.
successful men in the United State
who have seen the day when i
would have been disastrous for then
If there had been publicity Of thei
financial difficulties. Given a fai
opportunity, they pulled through tn
emergency and continued to be use

day is little less interference from

Recent advances in the prices OF
liberty bonds are largely due, in the
opinion of officials, to the legisla-
ton now pending in congress pro-
viding the means for the refundine
of the foreign debt. With the de-
tails of the debt finally worked out
and agreed to by the debtor nations
the times of payment Of both in
terest and principal will be definitely
determined, and the country will
know when the treasury will be re-
lieved Of corresponding portion Of
its liberty bond burden.

NO PROSPERITY
IN DESTRUCTION

Pretending great concern for the
welfare of American farmers, the
foreign potash producers are argu-
ing against an import duty on that
commodity. They tell the farmers
that an import tax will be added to
the price the farmer must pay. That
line of talk reminds Of the argu-
ment that was made prior to 1890,
when it was proposed to put a tax
on tin plate. The representatives
Of Welsh tin plat manufacturers as
sured the American people that the
tax would be added to the cost Of
tin and that everyone who bought
tin or anything packed in tin would
pay the tax. Nevertheless, the Re-
publicans imposed a protective duty
on tin plate, a large American tin
plate industry was built up, and,
under the influence Of large pro-
duction, the cost Of production and
the price to the consumer rapidly
went down. Tin plate never sold
for as much under protection as it
did under free trade, except, per-
haps, for a short time while Ameri-
can factories were getting under
way.
The fact of the matter is that I'M
der free trade the foreign producer
supplies the market and there is
no domestic competition to keep the
price down. The importer dictates
the price. Under protection there
is healthy home market and home
production is developed to such an
extent as to create competition at
home. 1t is easier to control an
imported commodity than domes-
tic commodity. 1t is safe predic-
ton that once we have established
a strong home potash industry the
agriculturists will buy their fer.
tilizers cheaper at home than they
ever have abroad.
But even If they paid as much
for the home product, they would
gain the advantage resultant from
keeping the money at home to fur.
nish employment for workmen who
are consumers of American farm
products instead Of sending it to
foreign countries to pay the wages
Of foreign workmen. American in.
dustries must stand or fall together
Half Of them cannot prosper on the
destruction of the other half.

 BE HELD TUESDAY

Funeral services for Omar Toft auto racer driver who was killed at the races here Saturday afternoon when his car left the track, will be held at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow after noon at the Whitney chapel, it was announced last night. Burial will be in Greenwood cemetery. No word has yet been received from loft s father, who lives near San Fer nando, Calf, and it is unknown whether he will arrive in time for the funeral.
 The big French Delage car which Toft was driving when it plunged through the fence was brought into town yesterday, a burned and bat tered wreck, It will be shipped to the owners, the Cunningham Motor company of Los Angeles, which Toft represented. The transmission and rear wheels of the car were tightly locked, giving strength to the theory that the engine, which had become heated earlier in the day, and clutch ''froze,' locking the wheels and caus- ing Toft to lose control.
 Mrs. Toft, who is at the home of her parents here, 1505 West Adams street, was reported yesterday to he still suffering from the shock of the fatal accident to her husband, who was well known here.

 ExHiBITs HIGERIA-Evidenc of the fertility of the soil of the Salt River valley was brought to the of flee of The Republican last night by J. M.

MECHANICAL M|LKER
 VAS NOVEL EXHIBIT

One of the interesting exhibits a,
 the Industrial Week exposition tent was that of the Phoenix Seed and
 Feed company, where the DeLavaI mechanical milker was displayed.
 The display has since been novel tc
 the company headquarters at 125
 East Jefferson street.
 It is the claim of the manueactC- rers that the DeLaval machine will eventually revolutionize the dairy in
 dustry to the same extent as did the invention of the DeLaval centrifugal
 cream separator and the Babcock test.
 The DeLaval milker is different in every essential feature from any ether milking machine in that the basic principle of machine milking is applied differently and as a conse- duence the sources of trouble which
 have been experienced with other
 types have been eliminated in this
 DeLaVal product. It is practically fool proof, being without adjustments
 of any kind, thus making it impos-
 sible for the operator to tamper with it. By reason of its more regular and gentle action, the COW is made to respond with an increased milk flow over that of the very best hand milk ing. It also reduces by more than one-half the labor and drudgery of dairying.

FATAL MISTAKE

The woman bather had got into a hole and she couldn't swim. Nor could the young man on the end of the pier; but when she came up for the first time and he caught sight of her face he could shriek, and he did. He shrieked:
 "Help!"
 A burly fisherman sauntered to his side.
 'Wot's up?" he asked.
 "There.' hoarsely cried the young man. My wife! Drowning! I can't swim, A hundred dollars for you if you can save her.
 In a moment the burly fisherman was in the sea. In another he was out of it with the rescued bather Thanking his lucky stars. he ap- preached the young man again.
 ''We1l, what about the hundred bones?" he asked.
 But if the young mans face had been ashen gray before, now 1t wa: dead white, as he gazed upon the features of the recovered dame.
 "Yes, I know" he gasped. But when I made the offer I thought i was my wife who was drowning; an6 now-now it turns out it was my wife's mother."
 The burly fisherman pulled a Ions face. Just my luck" he muttered thrusting his hand into his trousers pocket. How much do I owe you? ?''- Chicago News.

NAME IF ILL-FATED
 RACER FIGURES IN
 REMARKABLE DREAM

One of those strange unexpIain- able things which sometimes set mortais to wondering whether Shakespeare was not right when he wrote, There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio. than are dreampt of in your philosophy" came to City Commissioner J. A R. Irvine last Friday night. Tt was a dream and not all a dream" It was not such dream @ s psychol- analyst could explain, for it did not come under the assumption of Freud that there are definite reasons for all normal and abnormal mental ac- tivities, that there are always un- conscious underlying causes of these activities. The dream of MT. Irvine had to do with the future and not with anything in the past.
 What happened to Mir. Irvine is better told by himself: "On Friday night as l lay in bed I was troubled in my sleep. A name kept coming to my mind and why it kept coming l could not understand. l do not know how many times 1t occurred but in my state of half wakefulness and half sleep it seemed to be in the morning that the recurrence had lasted through the night. The name was Omar
 At one time 1t came in connec- ton with the name of Toft.' It was so distinct that I remember l spelled them both. Omar and 'T-o-f-t.' I recalled that Omar was a Turkish name, but the 'Toft I could not place. I am not con- scious of ever having heard that name. I revolved these names over in my mind in my semi sleepy state with a determined effort to get rid of them and go to sleep.
 q cannot be sure that the word 'Toft' came to me more than once, but it seemed as if the word Omar kept coming so often that became worried. I may have read the name of Omar Toft' in connection with the races to be held at the fair grounds but if so it did not impress me at all. The name meant nothing to me.
 when I read the paper on Satur day morning and saw the name of Omar Toft' as one of the speed kings who was to compete in the races of that day I was startled. I recalled my troubled state of mind the night before over these recur- ring names which I had spelled in my sleep and my speculation as to the name came back to me and wondered again what it meant, or if it meant anything, and the thought came to me, I wonder if he will be killed or have a serious accidentT But I put the matter from me and as breakfast was then called. it went entirely out of my mind until Saturday evening, when my wife told me that a man had been killed at the races and that his name was Omar Toft These questions are now before me: What? and why? In what way am I connected with this tragedy or am I in any way connected Or is it merely an un- explainable coincidence? l do not know"
