OPTIMISTIC

John Wanamaker, who is general
ly conceded to be both shrewd and
farseeing in mercantile matters, be-
Iieves that an era of prosperity in the
United States is close at hand and
that 1t will last for long time to
come. As concrete evidence OF the
faith that is in him. Mr.. Wanamaker
has increased the volume of his adver-
Using in order to secure his share OF
the larger volume OF trade he conf
IDENTIFY expects. The opinion of the
former Postmaster General and mer-
chant prince is shared by many other
men of affairs. In fact. says the Salt
Lake Tribune, there is a feeling OF
optimism all over the country which
will not down when croaking notes
are sounded. There is much reason
for optimism at this time. There are
few reasons for pessimism. The farm
ers have been blessed with fairly good
crops and there is plenty of food in
the country. Prices have been COM
ing down and there is no danger of
starvation. There is some unemploy-
ment, it is true, but it is more than
probable that as a result of the Wash
ington conference work will be found
for many thousands Of men and wo-
men now idle.
Business has been retarded by the
delay of Congress in passing the tax
alton measure. There is much hope,
however, that a more or less salts
factory law will be placed on the
statute books in the course of a very
few weeks, in accordance with the e
pressed desire of President Harding.
Then Congress can go ahead with
tariff legislation and remove another
barrier to trade resumption. Now is
the time to hustle with faith believ-
ing.

THE PLAN

Saturday Evening Post: In the
Summer of 1919 an inquiry set on
foot by the Rotary Club, of Blackwell,
Oklahoma, revealed the fact that of
t%hirty-nine boys who were Just out of
grammar school eleven had found
Jobs and had decided not to go on
with their schooling. Instead of
wasting time in lamentations over
the probability that more than a quar-
ter of that years output of the gram
mar school would go out into the
world unequipped to compete with
better-trained boys, the Rotarians of
the town attacked the matter ham
mer and tongs and had the satisfac-
ton Of seeing every one of the thirty
nine enter high school.
Such were the modest beginnings
OF q movement that is already achiev-
ing national significance. In 1920 the
Blackwell plan was tried out in many
towns; and this year something like,
nine hundred Rotary Clubs, scattered
all over this country and Canada. are
making an intensive effort to stop the
boy leakage between grammar and
high schools.
The Rotarians of Memphis, Tonnes
see, after seven months of hard work,
announce that put of two hundred
fourteen boys who finished grammar
school last June two hundred five
have agreed to continue their studies
this Fall. A similar club in New
burgh. New York, has been concen-
trating on the t~hirty-two graduates
of the local high school. with the
noteworthy result that nofewer than
twenty-five of them are about to
ter college. Records like these are
proof positive of the high possibilities
Of the back-to-school movement.
In Dallas, Texas. the Rotary Club
maintains a loaning fund to assist
poor boys who desire to co~ntinuetheir
studies. Money is lent on the personal
note of the borrower at four per cent
interest. a life-insurance policy being
the only security required by the
club. This plan has worked out so
well that 1t is spreading to other cit
les. In some places club members as
sist youngsters of slender means by
finding them work that can be done
out of school hours, in their W off,
ces or elsewhere.
The Rotarians have already sufh-
Client practical experience with their
back-to-school movement to enable
them to standardize their local cam
paigns and to conduct them along
definite, systematic lines. Well-tried
methods are employed and the
chances of failure are thus minimized.
Many attempts have been made to
work out by statistical methods the
cash value of a ~high-school education.
Such estimates are largely guess !

SAYS CASE INCOMPLETE

although there were indications
that the district attorney at a trial
would try to show a more complete
case, there was the merest skeleton
of evidence here to connect the de-
PENDANT with the crime of murder,
the most serious offense known in
criminal law.
1.-The question for me to decide is
whether the facts adduced, which
the district attorney admits is barely
enough to warrant a holding. Is
enough to justify a murder charge.
and l do not believe SO.
There is enough in the defend
ants action in the affair, however, to
warrant a manslaughter charge, and
l will hold him on this"
Assistant District Attorney Milton
T. U'Ren inquired what these other
actions might be, and the Judge re-
piled that there might have been bat
terry. for instance.

RECLAMATION |NCH|NG|N

Reno Journal: Word comes from
the far southern part Of the state
that a great artesian well has been
brought in at Pahrump that alone
will furnish water for irrigation OF
1000 acres of additional land, about
500 acres already being irrigated.
From EIko County comes word
that the irrigation development Idea
has come down like a host from Ida
no and has enveloped Metropolis.
From susanville, Nevada City and
other points along the Sierras comes
the news of extensive irrigation de-
velopments in hand. gradually reach
ing out to the extreme eastern limits
of California.
1t is true that in several valleys In
this State there are similar develop
ments, embracing a great many thous-
ands of acres in the aggregate, but
the most conspicuous fact is that
| from all directions irrigation is inch
ing in on Nevada, and that there Is a
conveyance here OF population from
| the neighboring States that are seek
ing farms under favorable conditions.
AS we all know, Nevada is, in an
| agricultural way, the last of the
| States to take on extensive farm in
dustries. But 1t is very evident that
the time has now come for this State
to enter into its own in an ~agricultur-
al way, and this pressure Of agricul-
tural population from all directions
is certain to multiply the number of
people in Nevada wonderfully fast in
the next few years.
The outside world is learning what
many of our own people have not yet
| discovered, that there are possibilities
| of securing land and available water
in this State, on what are as yet un-
| titled deserts, under more favorable
conditions than are now known In
any other State in the Union.
Sixty years ago word spread through
the East that Kansas offered great
agricultural opportunities, and in
| quick order the people focked there
and acquired Government land. Since
then State after State has been peo-
| pied in the same way, and now Me-
vada stands solitary and alone as the
| State in which farming land and wa
| ter are obtainable in great areas un-
| der almost primitive conditions.
1t is true that this fact has not
been SO widely heralded as it might
have been. Throughout the country,
as well as here at home, the habit
| still persists of thinking of Nevada as
the State of silver, copper and gold,
instead of potatoes and grain and
live stock. plus the minerals and met
ais that abound.
But the day Of the great change is
at hand-not the abandonment of
mining, but. the adding to the mines
| millions Of acres of irrigated lands,
| rich in their productiveness Of food
and the raw material for clothing.
Nevada is not longer to be, in the
minds of the American people. the
least in population of all the States.
The new spirit of progress which is
taking possession of the State will be-
come known throughout the country.
and the world will know of Nevada
as in the front ranks of progressive
commemorative.

schooling is one Of the few things
that is worth more than 1t costs,
whether its price be measured In

to the community than 1t is to the
individual. Their methods may be

they are not operating.

Married, Divorced and
Wed Again Before 16
Divorce of Young Wife is Followed
Quickly by New Marriage.

, Married before reaching the age O.
IA, divorced before reaching 16, anC
then remarked again within As min.
utes after regaining freedom, is the
record hung up by a young lady OF
Emmons township, who embarked
here Monday on her second matrimo-
NAL tour.
Mrs. Effie J. Myers-Scott-Floyd is
the young woman in question. Just
two years and a part of one day did
she remain wed to her first husband,
Lin Scott, whose wife she became on
May "a, 1919. At the time of pro-
curing license then she gave her age
as fourteen, although it is understood
she had not quite reached the full
age of IA. -
This marriage did not result very
happily it appears, for the husband
was accused of infdelity and did not
oppose the suit to secure q divorce on
statutory grounds. George w. Floyd
was the chief witness for the plaintiff
in the suit heard here Monday. It
took but few minutes to hear the
evidence and submit the case to the
jury, which promptly returned YER
dict awarding a divorce to Mrs
Scott, who thereupon was given the
right to again become Miss Effie j.
Myers. The divorce and her chief
witness waited around long enough
for Judge T. B. Finley to sign the,
necessary decree that completed the
jury verdict. I
With the decree properly signed,
the once again Miss Myers and Mr..
Floyd fastened to Register Sigman
for information as to the steps nee
essary to be taken for another mar
riage. They went out, found a physi-
clan and secured the essential medi- /
cal certificate and then appeared in |
the registers office for license. The /
brides father was present and signed |
permission for license to be granted. +
Then the couple and several friends !
went into the office of the clerk of !
court, where Deputy Clerk w. Z. |
Greer, who was recently made a jus /
tice of the peace by the Governor of
North Carolina, promptly forged con-
jugal bonds to replace those that had
so recently been several. 1t all hap
pened within the space of about As
minutes, according to some of the
court officials who witnessed the pro-
ceedings.
The bride gave her age as fifteen
years, when applying for license the
second time, although it is under
stood she is nearly sixteen years old.
After the cermony Mr.. and Mrs.
Floyd left for their home in Emmons, :
apparently as happy as any couple
hat had yet gone out from the court
house. l

The College Graduates

A new crop of college graduates
will be thrown upon the world this
summer. May they live long and
prosper. But while we are wishing
them we'll we would like to make a
few suggestions to them.
If the young man with a college
diploma thinks he is entitled to spe-
cial considerations or favors, he is
mistaken. The sooner he gets that
notion out of his head the better off
! will he be.
The truth is that the world expects
more of college graduate than of an
| ignorant man with a poor education.
In that respect, at least, the college
graduate is handicapped.
t If a young mans college education
fdoes not make him more efficient,
more productive, he has spent his
time and money in vain.
The world expects the young COL
lege graduate to go to work, and to
show results, whether his work be in
one of the professions, in merchan-
dising, at one of the trades or on the
farm. But he must work, and he
must show results, if he comes up to
expectations.
This is busy age. People Of to-
day have. little patience for any kind
of a drone, and none at all for an ed
ucated one.
We repeat. More is expected of
college graduate than of a man with
a poor education or no education at
all, and if he does not measure up to
expectations he will soon be discount
ed and cast aside.
The world will be more tolerant of
the failures and shortcomings of a
mft1 without the advantages of col |
lege course than with the man who |
has had such advantages.

no other persecution can be compared with it.
The greatest geniuses that have written have en-

Beware of jealousy is the best advice that can be
given to man or woman, yet unfortunately, it is ad
vice absolutely wasted.
In this striking cartoon Mr.. McCay shows, with
his usual great power how jealousy torments ITSELF
watching and spying to increase its own suffering
how all sorts of evil assist and urge and suggest fresh
horrors.
The extract at the top of this article is one of the
most powerful in the Bible yet it expresses jealousy
but feebly.
Shakespeare does his best with the words he puts
into the mouth of Othello, DID, black, ugly and mar
ried to young wife, whom he unjustly suspects:

Jealousy is the most unfortunate, the most utterly
waseful of all the passions that agtate and torment

Burke said: "A jealous lover lights his torch from
the frebrand of the 6end" And it is true, except
that the fire of jealousy is than any imaginable
real fire.
Jealousy not only believes what it does not know,
but creates horrible imaginary scenes and crcum-
stances with which to torment itself-"What frenzy
dictates jealousy believes"
No microscope ever magnifed the object on the
slide as watchful jealousy magnifes every little Incl
dent in life. "Tres, light air, are, to the jealous,
confirmation strong as proofs of Holy Writ" Trihes
are taken proofs and the very absence Of them is
taken as proof.
It has been said most foohshly that jealousy is
close to love- 1t is far from love as the grave is
from happy life Truer is the saying Jealousy is
the sister OF love- the devil is the brother of angels
cervantes, the great spaniard, says that jealousy
makes 'of dwarfs giants, Of suspicious truths"
They say that jealousy is the offspring of love-
But saying with more truth is that unless the

relief in increasing it, child will press upon sore
