.CATALOG WIVES ARE
BECOMING POPULAR

According to testimony attributed
to r. w. Stanley, a social investiga-
tor of Chicago. the practice is becom-
ing common of picking wives from
"mail-order catalogues"
1t seems that "love brokers'" fat
and sleek, are reaping rich harvest
by bringing lonesome folks together
through matrimonial agencies in Chi
cago
The custom is for persons desiring
mate, yet who do not wish to go
through the preliminaries of court
ship, to simply refer their cases to a
love broker" in a cold, businesslike
manner, and their wants are quickly
supplied.
When broker receives an order"
for a bride or bridegroom, he sets
about finding the person wanted. He
has extensive resources and he sell
dom fails to deliver the goods" In
the rare event of failure however, he
receives no commission, so it is his
duty to bestir himself
Love brokers' charge a double
fee that is, they receive pay "going
and coming" The minimum remun-
GRAFTON is $25 from each person.
which gives him a total of $50 for
each couple he successfully brings to
the altar.
Now it is well known of all young
men that modern-day courtship of
the ordinary kind cannot be con-
Quoted for any such piffling sum as
$50 What with the high cost of ice
cream and trolley transportation, the
increase in admission to dancing
floors and thousand and one differ
ent items that enter into an approved
style wooing, he finds that $50 will
not even give a beginning In view
of these things, it is not strange that
the "love broker" has come into the
commercial field in response to an
economic call.

WILL
Be REPUBLICANS

Practical Republicans the kind
that work in the trenches-will take
comfort from the assurance that
comes direct from authoritative quar-
tiers that President-elect Harding in
tends as one of the early acts of his
administration to repeal the executive
order that places presidential post
masters under the civil service.
This means that Republican work
ers will have a chance to capture the
1885 presidential postmasterships
throughout the country which are
tied up at present under civil service
by two executive orders issued by
President Wilson. 1t marks the return
TO the old system of government by
political parties" to which the presi-
dent-elect has so often expressed his
adherence.
Under the revival of the old plan
as proposed by the president-elect,
the recommendation of Republican
members of congress as to presiden-
tial postoffice appointments within
their districts will be received and or
dinarily will be acted on favorably
but it is assumed that the members of
congress will first consult the Repub
lican committee of the county il
which the office is located and will
act in harmony with 1t. In other
words, the president-elect wishes to
build up the party, and this calls for
harmonious action within the party
The one exception to the rule of
congressional endorsement is that
every Republican United States sena-
tor is to be accorded the privilege of
naming the postmaster of the city in
which he resides.
In Montana 141 presidential post
office appointments will be released
from civil service when President
elect Harding revokes the executive
order. 1t Is not the intention to Gust
Democratic postmasters who have
been confirmed for fixed terms, pro
vided their service is unobjectionable
but when their terms expire their
successors will be named on political
In addition, by reason
of the fact that large batch of nomi-
nations has been held up by the SEN
ate. many appointments will be made
right at the beginning of the admin
istration in the oldfashioned politi

HOW PLANES FALL
WHEN LOSING SPEED

The following account of the man.
ner in which Captain Lewis lost his
life at Elko. February %, will be in
teresting to Winnemucca people, as il
explains in an understandable man.
ner how ships fall when flying speed
is lost The accident APPARENTLY is
similar to the one that occurred here
wherein two local boys were injured.
This is the official report of E. NJ.
Barber, field manager at Elko, as
published in the Independent
Captain Lewis, east bound in plane
1852. arrived at this field at $780, The
mail was being transferred to plane
67 which had been serviced and was
ready for flight. After the usual pro-
cedure of the pilots in testing the
plane on the ground, Captain Lewis
TAXED his plane into position and
flew in straight line, a distance
roughly, one and one-half miles, ris-
ing to an altitude of 500 feet He then
attempted his first turn in the follow
ing manner: Without sufficiently
banking his ship he ruddered into the
turn entirely too sharply. and as q
result the plane skidded out of the
turn. This skidding expends the fly
ing speed, which is necessary to sus-
tain flight, in a direction at right
angles to the direction in which the
plane is pointed, and therefore when
the speed Is exhausted there is no
force which will maintain the plane
in the air. The thrust of the pro-
peller. and the original inertia of the
plane are not in accord Such a
maneuver results in a STALL When
a plane is stalled in the air the nose
of the ship drops, on account of the
fact that the major portion of the
weight Is at the front, and in falling
throws the plane into a tail spin. A
tail spin is the normal fall of a plane
when 1t has insufficient flying speed
There is also another item which
must be considered, the engine. If
the engine is allowed to turn at full
Npeed the plane is drawn into a faster
and more vertical spin. Captain
Lewis did not cut his motor, and the
ship therefore fell at much greater
speed. At this altitude it is practi-
cally impossible to recover from a tail
spin with any type of plane.
with regard to the condition of
the ship itself the accident canot be
attributed to any part of the engine
or plane. 1t had been in service the
previous day between Salt Lake and
Elko, flown by Pilot Blanchfield, who
reported that the ship was in flying
condition. The engine and plane
were inspected and tested at this field
in the morning previous to Captain
Lewis flight.
THE conclusion which is drawn
from the above facts is, that the fall
was the result of flat turn which is
an improper maneuver at this alti-
tude."

been enjoyed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Cony of the West river road,
Augusta, who on Jan. 4 reached that
double milestone in their lives. Mr..
Cony, hale and hearty, will be IS on
next August and Mrs. Cony, who
recently suffered a shock but is now
getting along nicely, will be 81 on
next April "a.
Their diamond wedding finds them
living on the old home place which
his grandfather on his mothers side,
George Reed, built. The grandfather
fought in the Revolutionary war. He
was one of the earlier settlers of Au-
gusta and died in 1S48 at the age of
IS years. Even now Mr.. Cony has in
his home some of the paper car
tridges and musket which his grand
father used.
There were many of the paper car
tridges in the Cony home but sew
eral years ago, the farmers along the
road had celebration for the
Fourth of July and these old pieces
of ammunition went for that purpose.
Mr.. Cony recalls that his grandfath-

washed chimneys because the white
wash" reminded him of Tory days.
The old homestead has stood for
over 200 years on the West River
road. True it has been improved
and brought up to the times. Mr.
