everything in his power to get ahead
of the others in winning her affection.

of humor when in walked John and
gave the teacher ticket. "1t's to the
entertainment at our church," he said
proudly. II bought this ticket for you
so that you could come and hear me
sing"
A few days later he was more pro-
voked when in came Helen bearing
a ticket. Its to our dancing class
party. want you TO come and see
me Dance" she smiled.
He scowled and scowled. But later
in the week his turn came to smile
above all the rest. He, too, bore a
ticket to teacher. but his speech was
different. Here's ticket for you
Miss g." he smiled. Its to the Ma

FROM REMOTEST
PARTS OF GLOBE
TanIac Elements Come From
Many Lands Far Away
From Here.

The ingredients from which the cele-
brated medicine Tanlac Is made, come
from remote sections of the earth,
and are transported thousands of
miles over land and sea to the great
Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton, Ohio
and Walkersville, Canada.
The Alps, Apprentices, Pyrenees. Rus
sian Asia, Brazil, West Indies. Rocky
Mountains. Asia Minor, Persia, India,
Mexico. Columbia and Peru are
among the far away points from which
the principal properties of this re-
Inarkable preparation are obtained.
What is said to be the largest phar-
maceutical laboratory in the United
States has been completed at Dayton,
Ohio, for the manufacture Of Tanlac,
which, according to recent reports, is
now having the largest sale of any
medicine of it's kind in the world,
over 20,OO0,OOO bottles having been
sold in six years.
The new plant occupies 10000
square feet of floor space and has a
daily capacity of $4,000 bottles. Uni
form quality is guaranteed by series
of careful inspections by expert chem
lists from the time the roots, herbs,
barks and flowers are received in their
rough state from all parts of the globe.
until their medicinal properties have
been extracted by the most approved
processes. The finished medicine is
then bottled, labeled and shipped out
to tens of thousands of druggists
throughout the United States and
Canada, to supply demand never
before equalled by this or any other
medicine.
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists

The regular meeting of the Yer
ington Commercial Club last NJ on
day evening was attended by nearly
100 men and women who are interest
ed in the Development Of Yerngton
and Lyon County. The principal
business to be considered was the CON
sideration OF freight rates from Yer
ington to California points, and the
appointment of Legislative committee
to act during the coming session O.
the Nevada Legislature.
George W. Friedhoff has been SC
lected by joint committee of the
Commercial club and the Lyon Coun-
ty Farm Bureau to represent this
community i'll the appeal for more
equitable railroad rates.
Mr.. Hyatt presented facts and fig
ures concerning freight rates which
show that this community is greatly
handicapped in placing produce on
the coast markets by a system OF
cumulative local freight rates, there
being three such rates in effect be-
tween Yerington and San Francisco
and four between here and Los An
geles. Producers OF Fallon, Fern
ley and Carson valleys are also con-
fronted with this same condition, and
a movement has been started by the
Yerington Commercial club to have
a committee from each of these towns
and Z II. Walker, rate expert OF
the Reno Commercial club. present
Southern Pacific Company at San
Francisco 1t is believed that such a
course will secure the needed relief
and through freight rate establi-
shed on shipments from points in this
state to California points that will per-
nit the shipment of the thousands of
tors ,f produG. OF farms of this stare
which are now without a market.
A committee was appointed to wait
on the Lyon County Farm Bureau
and ask their cooperation The eX-
pense is to be borne by the two
bodies.
After much discussion it was unani-
mously voted that the chairman name
