FAILED TO PLAY GAME

A double header game OF basket
ball had been arranged for last
Saturday evening on the Syracuse
court. The girls team was outcoupt-
ed and with the usual methods em-
ployed by Syracuse to win, the girls
were compelled to return home
with the small end of the score.
The boys refused to play owing
to what local fans state was the
unfairness Of the Syracuse school to
use a referee that had been decided
upon from Fowler, attmpting to
substitute instead man from
Lakin.

WILL HANDLE
DREAM ELEcTRoLYTE.

A demonstrator for Dream Electro
.lyte was. ir Holly last week and
complr angenntnts whereby
,sAcS and Hoopengarner of the
~ SHes Garage will handle the pro
duet for Prowers county.
The following clipping from the
Liberal tKans,' News explains
somewhat the action of this new
discovery which it is claimed will
rcvolutionize the storage battery
business:
THE new Dream Elcctrolyte, the
solution for renewing batteries
which was dreamed by an Elkhart
man and has recently been put on
the market here by the Liberal bat
terry station is proving very popu-
lar among Liberal car owners, who
are enthusiastic in their praise OF
the action of the liquid. The Elec.
trolyte has successfully met every
test to which it has been put here
and the several car owners who are
using it are highly pleased with re-
suits.
When the solution is used the
old liquid is poured out of the bat
teries, the cells then washed out
and filed with the Electrlyte and
the car is ready for action. Ex.
periments with two different cars
proved that they could be moved
around over the garage by the
starter alone after the batteries
were filed with the liquid.
John W. Baughman had an old
batter which was recently put
through tn former method of
charging for three days without re.
suits. When filled with the Elec-
trolyte the battery acted with all
the snap OF a new and Is continu.
ing to give satisfaction.
1T brought my battery right up
and before this it would only turn
the car about half the time" said
Chas. w. Ellsaaesser. commenting
on its action. 1T hasn't given me
any trouble at all since"
Its the greatest thing ! ever
saw" were the words of c. D.
Gasaway used. Where 1t was for.
merly necessary to prime his car
every morning it starts right now.
Mr. Gasoway believes it possible
that system will be worked out
by which Electrolyte will be used
in furnishing electricity to run
automobiles in the place of gaso-
line"

REPRESENTED the Helvetia MIX
Condensing company of Lamar Thc
general conrensus of opinion of
those present was that route
wo:,ld be thu only satisfactory way
for the dsi~yner OF that locality
to ship their milk but as to what
could hc dome NJ i7lis time. there
setmcd u ha no dfinite statements
to bn mafi. Considerable cream
y pnw heirs eh!nned from that
neighborhood and it is believed TINT
with little effort being put forth,
n route can be arranged later In the
season. One very pleasing fact was
brought ont by advocates of pit
silos. Those who romnlcted silos
last yearsarp more than pleased with
their results thus far. Several ex.
pressed themselves as believing the
nit silo to be tho salvation of the
non-irrigated farmer and win ar.
range to build one of more this
summer to be ready to store milk
nrnlucip~ fend for next winter use
The matter was not fully decided
upon but it is thought that this
meeting will lead to canvas being
taken Of the number Of cows now
being MIXED and about the total
cans nj milk that can be expected
esch day.
The Helvetia Milk Condensing
COMPANY have expressed themselves
rs being fsvoable to the establish
ment Of milk receiving station at

In leco gnizing the anniversaries
of great men, 1t is interesting to
note the qualities that enabled
them TO win their high position
One often thinks Of national lead.
cr as being quite different from
ordinary people. as having gifts for
bevond the ordinary range hut
it has been said that genius is only
capacity for taking infinite pains.
Great men have capacity for work
'''r after otheA people get tires.
Washington was one of those who
did not seem to advance so much
because of strikingly brilliant
qualities, as by a very great thor
oughncss. Apparently he had no
great gift as public speaker When
he was member OF the Virginia
House OF Burgesse. he seldom ad-
dressed that body. But he took
the greatest pains to be thoroughly
informed on all public questions.
This gave him his power, and 1t OBJ
tanned for him the friendship of the
leading men OF the colony, and Sc
cured for him reputation az a man
Of sound Judgment and correct In
formation.
When a man gets that kindsof a
reputation, his influence keeps
growing. Washington had re-
markable military geniuAand could
be always recognized as one of the
worlds great commanders. He had
a sublime courage and determine.
tiOn that marked him as one of the
worlds great leaders. He was gift
ed with balanced Judgment that
made him safe guide in times of
doubt and indecision. But his mar.
velous patience and persistent
thoroughncss were large elements
in his success In these qualities
he can be initiated by every day
folks. They can lift their own lives
to higher levels of success, by the
same determination to do perfect
work and to know completely the
subjects with which they deal.

Local Concern From All Debt
Liability

A decision was rendered recent
ly in the superior court of San
Francisco favoring the Winnemucca
Water & Light Company, defendant
in suit brought by D. C. Church
San Francisco contractor, in which
the plaintiff demanded $4,000 from
the defendant company. 1t was
alleged that this sum remained un-
paid for services performed by
Church in digging trenches and lay
ing main water pipes in this city.
The suit was heard by Judge
Shortall without jury, the Winnie
mucca Water & Lights Company's
legal representatives, Warren &
Hawkins, submitting the defendants
case on motions for non-suit. Ir
his decision exculpating the defend
ant company, Judge Shortall as
sessed the costs of the action
against the plaintiff, Church.
The water company claimed the
facts to be that Church was unable
to complete his contract and that il
had paid him in full for all that he
did, later taking the work in hanG
and completing it independent OF
his auspices.

Williams, San Francisco contractor,
under whose direction the Hum

Superintendent e. II. Gilman and

thing like 100000 gallons of
water were forced through the city's
sewers from the mains of the Win
nemucca Water g. Light Company.
A bill for approximately $500 had
been previously filed for this SER
vice by the water company officials

ference between representatives of
the city and the water company.
The city had previously been pay
ing $57 per month for the sewer
flushing function, this service hav-
ing been rendered on an unmetered
basis. Following the 100000

Commander Norman Bell of the

spoke, Mr.. Bell reading resolution
passed recently by the organization.
This has formed a general topic of

Mr.. Burk had submitted to this at

funds the surgical and hospital
costs, and re-submitted himself for
examination and acceptance in Un-

him from becoming a soldier in the

A communication was read from
the city's volunteer fire department
in which the suggestion was made
that counsel should be taken with
this branch of the city's organized

wherein employees are named whose
activities coordinate with those OF
