the little speech which he addressed
to me when Dicky ard I came down
| to breakfast on the morning following
our arrival.
From another type of man the words
would have struck me as rude, unduly
familiar. But Mr.. Cosgrove was the
type of 5ovial countryman whose guile

cerity made even his most extrava-
CANT utterances inoffensive.
Of course. my first glance into the
dining room had been in the direction
Of Mrs. Allis our fellow boarder at the
Cosgroves, whose odd behavior the
previous evening had led me both to
suspect and dislike her.
With a little heart beat of gratitude
vanity 1 had seen her eyes widen in
involuntary recognition of the modish-
ness of my fishing costume, then mar
row into what l knew was spiteful
resentment.
I was not sorry to see her give a lit
tie start of surprise at MI. COsgrove's
speech, and then to hear her say non
.chalantly:
You mean Miss Graham. don't you.
Mr.. COSErONG!
Mr.. Cosgrove looked puzzled. Evil
IDENTIFY the exciting happenings of the
evening before had made his wife neg
lect to tell him of the mistake Mrs
AIlis had made in our relationship.
She had assumed that I was Dicky's
sister instead of his wife. and Dicky.
with his usual love of testing, had al
lowed her impression to remain, tacit-
ly forbidding me to enlighten her. But
it was too late now for further pre-
tence. Letting a supposition stand
was one thing and deliberately deny
ing our relationship was another.
I was about to explain when to my
unbounded surprise and relief Dicky
spoke. srnilingly:
mo, Mrs. A1Iis, Mr.. Cosgrove is
quite correct. hav' re g-r-r-eat hon
ore to be re lady's husband, not her
brother" He spread his hands with a
bur1esque little gesture and laughed
amusedly.
Mrs. Allis' aplomb did not desert her
for moment. Only a tiny flush told
of the inward rage at her own mistake
and our furtherance of the jest which
knew must be consuming her.

WEARING COTTON.

Some weeks ago The Journal sug.
gested the ACCESSIBILITY of wearing
more cotton in order to stimulate cot.
ton buying and therefore mill pro.
duction in order. ultimately, to bene-
fit the cotton grower. The Journa
did not suggest that cotton be worn
to the exclusio of all other materials
but it did, and does how, suggest thai
more cotton could be worn with profit
both to the wearer and to those who
depend upon cotton for their livelihood
In this connection the following let

Editor, The Journal,
Dear Sir
At a meeting of the Lancaster,
S. c. League of Women Voters,
March 10, 1921, a resolution was
adopted that the members would
make effort to start a publicity
campaign through the press and
all women's organizations, cham
bers of commerce, the pulpit. the
schools and colleges, to pledge
women to wear cotton dresses.
After a telephone conversation
with Mr.. j. S. Wannamaker, pres
idont, American Cotton associa-
ton, he writes us Il approve in the
fullest terms the movement that
your club has started concerning
the use Of cotton goods. l am sat-
isfied that movement for the use
of cotton goods will help to re-
establish confidence. The south
should stand behind this movement
the same as they stood behind the
movement for the use of Home
spun" goods during the war be-
tween the states"
There are practically fifteen mil
lion spindles in the south. If all
women who are interested in any
way with cotton mills and all
women who are interested either
directly or indirectly with farms
will support this movement, that
will be several hundred thousand
persons whom we can expect quick
results from.
Yours truly,

PRESS COMMENT

In the extraordinary session of the
Florida legislature in 1918 a lot of val
liable time was saved by referring all
bills introduced in either house to a
Joint committee. If reported unfavor-
ably both houses knew it and neither
house wasted effort in passing a bill
they knew would be killed in the other
house. A lot of legislative time is
wasted in enacting laws that are later
declared to be unconstitutional. Would
it not be good idea to have a joint
committee of able attorn eys from the
membership to pass on the constitu-
tionality of a bill before time be taken
up in fighting it through both houses

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM e. BARTON
MAIN STREET MONoTONY.

Mr.. Lewis mas set the literary cfluc
to discussing his book Main Street.
Those of us who were born, as 1 was
On Main Street in an American tOwr
know that life there is not quite S
sordid and uninviting as he describe
It but there is no denying the photo
graphic accuracy of many of his de
He says:
Nine-tenths of the American
towns are so much alike that it is
the compIetest boredom to wander
from one to another. There is the
lumber yard, the same RAILROAD
station the same garage, the same
creamery, the same box-like houses
and two-story shops Such a
society functions admirably in the
large production of cheap automo-
biles, dollar watches, and safety
razors. But it is not satisfied till
the entire world also admits that
the end and joyous purpose of liv-
ing is 10 ride in flivVers, to make
advertising pictures of dollar
watches, and in the twilight to sit
talking not Of love and courage
but of the convenience of safety
razors The more intelligent
young people and the fortunate
widows flee to the cities with agil-
ity, and, spite of the fictional ira
dition, resolutely stay there, sell
dom returning even for the holi-
days. The most protesting patriots
of the towns leave them, If they
can afford it, and in old age go to
live in California or in the cities.
The reason is not a whiskered rus
ITCHY. 1t is nothing so amusing!
1t is an unimaginatively standard
lied background, a sluggishness of
speech and manners, a rigid of the
spirit by a desire to appear re-
spectacle. It is contentment-the
contentment of the quiet dead, who
are scornful of the living for their
restless walking. 1t is the prohibit
tion OF happiness. 1t is slavery
self sought and self defended. 1t
is dullness made God. A savorless
people, gulping tasteless food, and
sitting afterward, COatIess and
thoughtless, in rocking chairs,
prickly with insane decorations,
listening to mechanical music, say
ing mechanical things about the
excellence of automobiles, and
viewing themselves as the greatest
race in the world.

I have selected these sentences from
several different pages, in order to give
the gist OF his picture concisely. AS
say, l was born on Main Street, and
at it's intersection with another i'm
portant thoroughfare, directly opposite
the town pump, and know the kind of
town and its limitations. 1t is not
quite so deadly monotonous as Mr..
Lewis represents.
But can we not make life on Main
Street a little more spontaneous, lit
tie more full of natural and reasonable
Joy, a little less dependent on movies
and automobiles for the stuff OF life?
For these are not the things on which
men can live. The kingdom Of Heaven
must be within US; and Main Street
must be surveyed straight through the
New Jerusalem.

CLOSE TO YOUR PockErRook

Your cost of living is determined. in
the long run, by the prices of raw ma
terials. Those prices now average only
a fifth more than in 1918. In other
words, four-fifths of the rise that took
place during the war has been can
celed.
This is revealed by the price index
published by Bradstreet's which covers
the prices of the 90 principal necessi-
ties OF lfe-such as metals, coal
breadstuffs, hides, leather, textiles and
oil.
The Bradstreet index takes d given
amout Of each of these commodities
and adds the price. How that price rose
from its pre-war level to its highest
wartime point and what it is now is
shown in these Bradstreet figures:
December, 1913. 9.22
February, 1920. 2O.S6
March 1, 1921. lI.S6
The steady drop during the last 10
months has been at u rate that, If con-
tinued will bring basic prices-of raw
materials-down to the 1913 level by
May 1, 1921.
On that date, according to calcu-
lations of expert observers including
the National Bank of Comemrce in
New York, the first stage or deflatiou
will probably be completed-the first
nails driven in the coffin of depres-
sion.
1t may come sooner. 1t may be de-
layed. But indications now are that
the beginning of the end is in sight.

COMMITTEE HOME
Make Seven Hundred Mile Trip to
Different Points in Western
Nevada and Make Irri-
CATION Observations

The water storage committee,
composed of County Agent ]. w.
Wilson of this city and H. X. Har-
vey, Fred Stewart and Harry Stock
of Paradise Valley, returned yester-
day from seven-day trip by auto
mobile in the course of which 700
niles of distance was travelled.
Visits were made to the Taylor-Pitt
reservoir at Humboldt House, the
states second largest storage al
the present time. Water to the
amount of $4,000 acre-feet is i'm
pounded there annually for uses in
the Lovelock neighborhood. Stops
were also made at Lahontan dam
18 miles west of Fallon, where stor-
age facilities are at hand to ac-
commodate 100000 acre-feet OF
water, although the maximum ca
pacity of this government reservoir
has never been attained, due to the
scant seasonal runoffs of the Carson
and Truckee watersheds subsequent
to the dams completion six years
ago.
Particular attention was given to
the Walker river irrigation district
scheme, the method of procedure
being studied along with the worl
now being done to effect water stor-
age. Topaz lake, one of the storage
units, was visited and studied. This
scheme anticipates the annual con-
servation of 10000 acre-feet OF
water and Yerington is forging
ahead in a material sense as re
suit of the activities in progress at
this time.

RICHARD w. LEWIS CASE
DISPOSED OF YESTERDAY

District Judge ]. A. Callahan
heard the arguments yesterday in
the case wherein Richard w. Lewis,
administrator of the estate of the
late Malcolm McGregor, was seek
ing compensation for his part in
caring for the decedent, whose pass
ing occurred in an Oakland, Calf,
hospital on July %, 1921. Robt.
Richards, deputy state attorney gen.
eral. appeared for the state ot Ne
vada, J. A. Langwith, deputy dis
trict attorney for Humboldt county,
and T. A. Brandon represented Mr..
Lewis.
In his decision rendered last even
ing Judge Callahan ruled that Mr..
Lewis should receive the sum of $25
per month as compensation for the
care of MacGregor, this rate of pay
to cover the period November /,
1916, to the time of his death. He
is to receive the further sum of
$3.50 for advances made for the
funeral. He will also receive re-
muneration for acting as the ad-
ministrator of the estate.
The sum that will be received by
Mr.. Lewis is $1668.47. The value
of the estate is slightly more than
$4,000, MacGregor leaving cash rep
resented by money in banks to this
amount.
Under the terms of Judge Gala
hans decision the money left after
all bills have been paid will escheat
to the states common school fund,
there being no heirs at law to bene-
fit. It is estimated that approx
mately $500 will find its way into
the escheat fund.

RATE HEARINGS
NOW ON IN RENO
BACK HAUL IS BEING TALKED
AND PROPOSED RAILROAD
REDUCTIONS TO MEET THE
WATER COMPETITION ARE
BEING STRONGLY FOUGHT


The Reno hearings on the protest
of the intermountain states to the
proposed action Of the railroads to
reduce transcontinental rates from
eastern points to Pacific coast termi-
nails without giving corresponding
reductions to intermediate points,
opened Monday morning before Ex-
aminer W.. A. Disque of the inter-
state commerce commission.
Nevada, together with other in
termountain states and cities, is pro-
testing the application of the car
riers, holding that the proposed ac-
tion is SO highly discriminatory that
it would practically destroy industry
and commerce in some lines in the
interior and would work q great
hardship on all industries that de-
pend on eastern cities for materials.
The Reno hearing is one Of sew
eral that have been held in all parts
of the country starting at Chicago
and coming west to San Francisco.
The next hearing will be at Phoenix
and the final hearing will be held
at New York in January. Examiner
Disque said that a decision in the
case would probably not be made
until early next summer, according
to the Gazette.
Terminal Rate Revenue
By applying the proposed coast
terminal rates to the west-bound
freight traffic into Reno during
1919 the revenues Of the railroad
would have been decreased less than
$4,000, E. H. Walker, traffic man.
ager Of the Reno Chamber Of Com
merce testified at the opening Of the
hearing.
Walker based his statement on a
complete analysis of the carloads Of
freight received in Reno from east
ern points showing that 471 car
loads of freight, with total move
ment of 1871, ,126 pounds provided
revenue to the railroads Of $780,
1928, while if the proposed terminal
rate was applied to Reno the rev.
enue to the railroads would have
been $316,887.
Walkers statement, showing that
at a cost of but $4,000 to the
railroads, Reno could be given ter
minal rates was further explained,
at the request Of Examiner Disque,
by statement of earnings Of the
railroads per ton-mile and per-car
mile.
His testimony and exhibits showed
that the average earnings Of the
railroad on all traffic in 1920 was
.2940 per car mile, on an average
haul of about $50 miles, while "the
earnings of the transcontinental
traffic to Reno for an average haul
