FARMERS OF CHURCHILL
PLANT 200 ACRES BEETS

About 200 acres of sugar beets
are being planted by farmers in
Churchill county for the purpose of
demonstrating further possibilities
for the growing under more favor
able conditions of soil selection
and cultivation. More than 100
acres are being planted in Still
water.
These crops will further demon
strate whether or not the "alfalfa
blight" which caused partial de-
struction of the 1921 crop, will
appear in two successive years. The
Lahontan Sugar Company expects
to devise methods of combating the
insect which causes the blight in
the event of its temperance. Beets
being raised this year will be fed
to live stock.

MILLER AFF|RMs
HIS CANDIDACY

In letter to Chairman H. E.
Stewart, of the republican state
central committee, State Sentor j.
H. Miller, of Mineral county, af-
firms his candidacy for the republi-
can nomination for governor, as
announced in the Gazette last Octo-
ber, and requests Mr.. Stewart to
convey his attitude officially to
members of the party in the state.
Senator Miller, who arrived here
last Friday, mailed the letter to the
state chairman today. It follows
"My Dear Sir: For some months
| have been considering offering my
self as a candidate for the office of
Governor of Nevada at the coming
primary election to be held for the
purpose of nominating candidates
of the republican party. / have
consulted with my friends and with
a great many members of the party
generally and received most hearty
encouragement.
Primarily / have felt that l
should be governed by the question
of party success in reaching a de-
cision in the matter. | most earn
estly desire to see our party carry
the state election and | have tried
to consider the possibility of my
candidacy in that spirit. After
full consideration l have decided
that l should become candidate
at the primary and take this means
of making that announcement
through you as State Chairman to
the members of the party.
81 assure you that if am nomi-
mated for Governor that l will make
thorough and active campaign not
only for myself but also for the en-
tire republican ticket.
"With kindest personal regards,
Every truly yours,
tSigned) 81. H. Miller"

ED|TOR's OPINION
over THE HILL

(This is an editorial by the we'll
known Albany, N. Y, journalist,
William A. Allen.)
Witnessing the screen version of
Will Carleton's "Over the Hill"
one can understand why it played
one solid year in New York city,
and was there seen by more than
100000 people. 1t picturizes the
universal family, and, best of all,
the universal mother.
Sedate men, austere men, old and
young men last night felt the tre-
mendous urge of its emotion and
its sparkling shafts of humor as a
harp responds to the musician who
plays it, and tears-real, watery
tears-rolled down many a cheek
which had not been so affected
since childhood.
The picture is a ten-reel affair,
wholesome, clean, inspiring. It is
not a great spectacular extrava-
ganza calling for massive settings,
gilded scenes or an expensive cast /;
yet with its homely story, a little
old-fashioned mother, and affec-
tionate but week-willed husband,
six kids, dog and humble home,
it has an appeal which sets the
other and more pretentious show
ings in the shade.
There is a Mothers Day feature
to it, too, which appeals to welfare
workers everywhere; for one is
waited, as it were, on magic car
pet into ones own home, and in
the warp and woof of the carpet is
woven the silver threads of
mothers great sacrificial, unselfish
affection for the "bone of her bone
and the flesh of her flesh," and
through it all there is a song of
home that leaves an ache in the
heart and a glow in the soul.
1t brings out the meanness, the
pettiness, the cowardice of US; but,
thank God, it also shows our fine
ness, our generosity and our no.
bility. One cannot help thinking,
after seeing the play, that a man
whose Christian mother stands UP
for him at the Gate will be able to
carry on a very good argument
with St. Peter.

ALEX MARESCHI
DIED HERE TODAY
Well-known Lineman for Water
and Light Company Passed
Away at Hospital Here at
2:30 this Afternoon

Another sad chapter in Winnie
mucca's history was recorded at
2:30 this afternoon when Alex
Mareschi, well known and esteemed
resident, passed away at the hospi-
tai as a result of uremic poisoning.
Several days ago he underwent
operations for kidney and bladder
trouble, but his condition prior to

recovery doubtful
Mareschi was of genial DISPOSE
tion and made many friends here.
He was born 35 years ago at Locca,
Italy, coming to Humboldt county
fourteen years ago. Prior to un-
dertaking his duties with the
Water & Light Company, as line
man, he had been employed at
mine in the Central district. Five
years ago he was married here and
is survived by the widow, a step
son and two step-daughters, besides
brother, o. Mareschi, also residing
in this city. His parents died
several years ago.
Funeral services are to be held
under the auspices of Winnemucca
lodge, Fraternal Order of Eagles,
of which the deceased was a men,
ber, starting from the Mareschi
home at the power house at $50
a. m. Friday. At 10 a. m. Friday
mass is to be said for the deceased
at the Catholic church by Father
Hugo Meisekothen, interment there
after to be made in the Winnie
mucca cemetery. P. G. Carlson,
funeral director, is in charge of the
remains.
