Father is suffering from psychic

children telling him how wonderful
and great he is, and how they love
him, and admire him, and thank him
for standing between them and want.
No man minds being sacrificed to his
family IL they make a fuss over him
and call attention to his noble hero
ism. What gets his goat is being
sacrificed TO n family that never even
notices that he Is a martyr. and that

that are curling about him, and go on
talking about the new automobile they
are going to nag him into buying.

Listen to this distinguished psyche
therapist who has just found out that

is due TO psychic malnutrition, and
that tho one and only remedy for IL

repeated observations, that unless q
certain percentage OF these spiritual
vitamines form part of our daily diet
we grow morbid and grouchy. and are
apt to seek "the excitements of the

All of which, being translated
means that what ails most of us who
are unhappy; and restless. and dis

LARGE SUM RAISED
FOR SEPT. RODEO

Members of the Chamber of Com.
merce met last night and discussed
matters OF interest and importance to
citizens of Humboldt county. Theo-
dore Grady. the new secretary who ar
rived from San Francisco last week
made talk to those present, asking
Tor cooperation of members and ex-
pressing the hope that the latter
would work with him along unified
lines. He explained how there were
many big undertakings ahead of the
chamber and that to accomplish real
results all must work and pull to-
gether. This work pointed out by
Grady includes agricultural develop
ment. irrigation, good roads, better
crops, stock raising and mining. He
stated. however, that the attention of
the chamber will not be confined sole
ly to these larger features, but II is
the intention to take up every in
terest of the people within the con.
fines of the county. and make it bet.
ter place in which to live.
II was announced at this meeting
that between four and five thousand
dollars for the carrying on of the
rodeo has been raised so far in this
city and that the rodeo will probably
take place In September; that efforts
in this line are being confined to peo-
pie OF this locality on account OF the
limited accommodations here, and
that upon the success of this perform
ance will be based future rodeos .
that II this one is as successful as
anticipated, similar affairs will be
carried on on a much larger scale in
future. when we will have greater
hotel accommodations.
This led up to talk concerning the
proposed new hotel and the committee
report showed nothing definite had
been done along this line. 1t was
thought advisable to endeavor to in

stated that they will be willing to go

Secretary Grady stated that he was
in receipt of a letter from the Uni
versal Film Company requesting data
In regard to sites for taking pictures
In this county. A committee consist
ing OF C. B. Smith, L. G. Campbell and
C. A. Allison was appointed to take
steps in gaining this data.
The matter of highway improve
ment was taken up and upon sugges-
ton 1t was agreed to secure three or
four thousand sacks of gravel, to be
taken to designated places along the
county roads, and auto drivers be re-
quested to pick them up and deposit
the gravel In bad ehuckholes.

TO PAY PROSPECTOR
WARTIME MINERAL
[srrcrAL coRRrsroNprNoKl

lofEClAL LOohfAfsfuNbtftbl
WASHINGTON, DC, April So
Many Nevada miners who prospected
for manganese, tungsten, chrome. and
pyrite at the call of the government
in 1918, and who lost their time and
money invested when the armistice
was signed and the wartime en-
bargoes were taken off those minerals,
have long been trying to secure some
reimbursement. Owing to a narrow
construction put upon the 3o-called
Chamberlain bill or War Minerals Re-
lief bill. by Democratic executives,
the majority of such claimants for
relief have been deprived of the COM
pensation contemplated by the bill.
The basis of these refusals to recog-
nize claims was found in the decision
that the prospecting and mining were
not done upon the request or demand
of the Department of the Interior, the
War Industries Board, the War Trade
Board, the Shipping Board, or the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. Min
ers felt that they had been called upon
by the government, in its emergency,
to produce these hitherto unsought
minerals. They freely charged bad
faith against the government. That
their claim was considered just by
Congress was evinced by the passage
of the War Minerals Relief bill, two
years ago.
This morning an amendment to the
relief bill was reported out favorably
by the Senate committee on mines
and mining. The amendment is in the
form of Senate bill No. 843. 1t pro-
vides for an addition to the first para
graph of section of the old bill as
follows: "All claimants who in re-
sponse to any personal, written, or
published request, demand, solicita-
ton, or appeal from any of the gov
ernment agencies mentioned in said
act in good faith expended money in
producing or preparing to produce
any of the ores or minerals named
therein, and have heretofore filed
their claims within the time and in
the manner prescribed by said act
shall be reimbursed such net losses
as they may have been found to have
incurred" etc.
1t will be observed that the new bill
opens no channel through which new
claims may now be filed. No doubt
is felt as to the present bill passing
the Senate, as the original Chamber
lain bill was passed without debate.
In the House opposition may be en-
countered, among Eastern men who
cannot understand the doings of the
West
A small table of data concerning the
work of the War Minerals Relief COM
mission and the possibility of further
relief as soon as the adverse ruling
of the Democratic administration can
be overcome, was brought to the office
of Congressman Arentz this morning
