Dear Mr.. Thompson: l am .
married woman of Is and my hus-.
band is very cruel to me. He does
not want me to go anywhere. not
even with my lady friends. Do
you think q man loves his wife
when he is cruel to her!
He has been that way for eight
years and l have lost all my love
for him. l haven't given him any
cause to be that way.
l met single boy about % few
months ago. He said he Lowell me
better than any .ne in this world
and wants me 10 get a divorce. He
says he will treat me better than
my husband. Do yoa think he
would? Would be doing the right
thing to get a divorce and marry
this young man. or should l stay
with my husband! have one child.
q HEART-BROKEN.
No, you would not be doing the
right thing to divorce your hus-
band and marry the other man. In
the first place. do not believe the
other man would be true to you. A
man who is willing to break up a
family has an immoral nature.
For the sake of yoLr child. try to
adjust yourself to your husbands
nature. Doubtless there are many
ways in which you call out his tenn
per. Try to be tactful. II you find
that he is too cruel to live with, and
if he is unkind to the child. you will
have just reason for divorce. But
to leave him in order to marry an
other man would be wrong. A man
may be cruel to a woman and at the
same time love her in his own self
ish way.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am q
girl of Is and am very much in love

almost three months and he got
angry at me for some reason or
other and is now going with anoth-

love and it nearly freaks my heart
to know how hard l have tried "a
keep his friendship. When he was
at my home l would try as hard as
any one could to keep everything
as pleasant as possible. Now all
hopes are lost in regaining hi
friendship.

ACTIVITY IN
THE LODGES

Competition among lodges here has
become quite keen recently and the
only ascribable reason is publicity
A few months ago the newspapers
commenced writing up" certain
lodge activities and talking about a
lodge with the largest membership
Right then other lodges commenced
taking notice and injecting pep into
their affairs. It Is only another in
stance of the power Of the press and
the unconscious effect of suggestion.
II you'll stop to think you'll notice
the same Is true OF the churches right
now.
For q real squirt in the matter of
better lodges and better social ac-
tivity well have to hand the medal
to the Neighbors of Woodcraft. The
feeling of brotherly and sisterly love.
1t is sensed, has been developed to
great degree in that lodge and the en-
thusiasm displayed in the matter Of
social entertainment is pleasant to
observe.

To those people who believe other
places should be bonded it is ex-
planned that any individual may file
complaint with the City Clerk against
any business house, alleging on OBJ
servation and belief that the laws are
being violated. 1t then becomes the
duty of the Chief of Police to investi-
gate and report to the City Council.
There's nothing private about the
matter at all and anyone may take a
hand who has the nerve to stand up
and tell the crooks he's against them
and they can like 1t or go as far as
they please. There's also not much
chance for camoufage, either. be-
cause the crooks know where people
stand whether they advertise their
position or not. And person is
cussed by them just as much for pas
siveness as for activity. If you don't
think as do the crooks you're put
down as mot right" and that settles
1t. They've got your number for al
time and you're taking the bes'
they've got to hand you. whether you
know it or not. As we see 1t, It's
just as we'll to have the game alone
with the name. So those who kick
may know now that they have just
as much power In this respect OF
bonding places as have members of
the City Council. and are receiving
just exactly as much money as are
members of the City Comet. SO they
may dip their oar In any old time.
Anyhow, the Councils schemes in
the matter look good, all around. ane
as to how they work out will be
watched with interest.

MAY SOLVE
BOOZE QUESTION

In taking action on licenses of soft
drink" parlors Winnemucca's City
Council may have taken a step last
Thursday night that will solve one
phase Of question that is proving
vexatious In all parts Of Nevada.
Loopholes In the law make 1t ex-
tremely dificult to secure convictions
for violation of prohibition laws. Be-
cause of this difficulty moonshine
peddlers have reached the stage
where they laugh at the efforts of
peace officers. In many cases they
are enabled by huge profits to buy
police protection outright.
Under a city ordinance as passed
here It Is not necessary for officers
or anyone else to gather alright EVIL
dence to secure conviction. but II
members OF the City Council are SUM-
ciently convinced Illicit traffic is go
ing on licenses may be revoked and
the offender left without place in
which to do business. In certain In
stances this means considerable to
Offenders and acts as brake on their
activities. The Silver State Is reliably
informed this feature is what is wor-
rying booze dealers now and is caus-
ing them to watch their step. Any
thing that worries these people is
certain to have merit. because they
are not overlooking the smallest de-
tail that may enable them to continue
their money-making business.
Another check ON booze selling Is
the idea originated here, and which
will undoubtedly be Investigated In
other cities, which provides appli-
cants for licenses may be required to
furnish bond In a large sum. which
will be forfeited in event of violation
of prohibition laws. The bonds are
to be SO worded decision on the
part Of the City Council will be SUM-
cient for forfeiture Of the amount
stated In the bonds, set in two cases
here at $1,000 each. At first thought
1t appears sureties could refuse to
pay and thus throw the matter into
court, forcing proof Of violation much
as In the manner Of securing GRIM
inal conviction. which might prove
dif11cult. But Mayor Brandon states
the bonds can be so worded as to
avoid this possibility. and he should
know.
The American spirit of fair play is
out and the remark is heard
that "favorites should not be played"
and III one is forced to put up bond
all should be. even ice cream par
lors." A little thought will prove
this criticism uncalled for.
The Mayor and City Councilmen,
and the peace ofhcers. know right
well In which soft drink places booze
10 sold, and In which 1t is not They
might not be able to secure convic-
tons because Of inability to gather
air-tight evidence required by law,
but they know. nevertheless. With
this knowledge and the power of IL
cense revocation they can make their
weight felt and instill fear that will
cause carefulness. anyhow. And at
any time they have reason to believe
q soft drink parlor proprietor is
stepping over the law" they have
the power to hale him before the
and demand bond. Those OBJ
serving the laws are likewise known
and 1t hardly seems fair to force them
to Inconvenience of providing bonds.

Attention has been called to the
fact that a large load Of refuse, con-

magazines, was dumped near the gate
of the new cemetery this morning.
Even though the law cannot be OBJ

doing to keep the cemetery in good

NO MONEY FOR SCHOOL

The school board has been ad- vised from Juneau that there are no funds available for the construc- tion of a school house, but that all supplies would be furnished and a teacher engaged for nine months commencing Oct. 3. The board has wired in counter proposals and up- on a reply being received will prob ably call a public meeting to con- Slider ways and means for providing school quarters and fuel. Should it be found impossible to provide a school this winter the children of the camp will either be deprived of instruction this season or be con- pelled to make a five-mile trip to Stewart daily, task which few grown-ups would care to undertake
