been appointed by the F. E. Comp

Vermont and New Hampshire IN
the handling for school purposes of
Their recent VIII Volume publica.
ton "Compton's Pictured Encyc-
lopedia.' This is an entirely new
work, written every word since the
World War, and is along new lines
which meet every modern school
need. 1t solves the problems of
visual education, the socialized re-
citation and problem-proiect
method. 1t is absorbingly interest
ing, amazingly attractive, and
makes learning instead of drudgcry
fascinating pursuit. 1t is bound
TO be in every progressive Ameri-
can home, and in the library of
every progressive teacher and up
tO-datc chool room. The books
are on exhibition for examination
at the Athenaeum and at the book
mems display ut the Town Hall.
Mr.. Morse will be at the latter
place to make explanations and
answer all questions. This is good
opportunity to learn about this UNI

THE COUNTRY CHURCH

The country church can be made
one of the most useful elements
in building up a rural community,
but not all churches succeed in
making themselves a factor. Many
are very successful. but others do
not get the hold they should on
the community.
In order to win the support and
interest of a rural section, a
church needs to do something
more than hold religious services.
The spiritual message is the heart
Of its mission, and must always be
made the prominent feature. But
it takes something besides preach
ing to capture the popular heart.
The interest of non-church goerS
can be won a great deal more
readily, if it is seen that the
church is taking hold of commune
ity problems and accomplish
ing something along the lines of
every day life.
Country people are exceeding
ly busy and lack time for carrying
on public enterprises. Many min
listers make themselves tremend-
ously valuable in a community, by
taking hold of the things that no
one else seems to have any time
to tackle. SO they often run Boy
Scout and other organizations that
will give an outlet for the activity
of the kid element. Or they find
women who will &c the girls
working in some similar society.
Many of them have induced the
farmers to form clubs to promote
their interest and have given a
boost to other movements of COM
munity service.
If minister and the church
people can thus fill up the gaps in
community and provide it with
the machinery needed to function
in an efficient way, such religi-
Gus society will have no trouble in
getting a good congregation to
attend its preaching services, and
the children will be sent to Sunady
school.
The people will recognize that
here is an organization that is
getting things done which the COM
munity needs, and they will feel
that such a society is entitled to
have hearty cooperation and that
it gives d full return and fore for
W hatever it costs.-Northfeld

PRESS COMMENT
THE VERY LAST WORD
ON DAYLIGHT SAVING

"DavHght saving for New Eng
Land is over for this year and al
most everybody hopes that the fool
proposition will not be put in force
bv any community next year. It's
chief results during the summer
lust closed have been to bring JOY
to the heart of the golfer and Joy
rider and evaporation to the traV-
eler and farmer.-Montpelier Ar
gus.
Why should the Argus suffer
from such a sour stomach relative
to daylight saving? 1t speaks just
as though it had missed connec-
lions and had to wait an hour at
Montpelier Junction the dreariest
spot in Vermont. Daylight saving
seems to please not only the golf
player but also the twilight league
baseball players, the amateur gar
deners, the tennis and croquet
players, the fishermen, and the
greater number of indoor workers
in office and factory. In Benning-
ton it has resulted even in the
building of a dozen or more homes
after working hours, by men am
bilious to have d home of their
own. They could never have man
aged it except for the extra hour
of daylight after work in summer.
Just because the Argus genius is
fat, middle aged and shiftless, and
likes to sit up late at night and lay
abed until the middle of the fore
noon, he really shouldn't be so
hard-heartcd about the matter. 1t
really isn't nice of him to call US
all fools who do not agree with
him on the question OF daylight

Enlarging School Districts

where it can be done without i'm

DON'T TAKE
CHANCES

Good doctors will tell you it's
better to keep from getting sick
than it is to get cured after you're
sick. For many weeks now citizens
of Winnemucca have known that
coal strike exists. But few Of
them appear to realize the serious
ness Of it, or to realize that every
day is bringing Us closer to the
climax Of a great industrial strug-
gle. Most people we know are en-
joying the summer as best they can,
and hoping the government will
prevent suffering from q coal strike
later on. But suppose the govern
ment fails-then what? It Is not
always possible for even the govern
ment to prevent actual suffering,
and putting all your dependence in
this is q display of poor judgment.
There Is but one sensible way to
look on the present situation. and
that il to lay in a supply Of fuel
right now, while you can get It.
There is only one man that is en-
titled to sit down and fold his hands
and calmly wait to see how it il all
going to come out. And that is
the mas who has his next fall and
winters supply Of coal in his eel
lar.

6-MONTH DIVORCE
TO Be VOTED ON

CARSON.-Nevada voters this
year will have the opportunity to
express their desire on a Nevada
divorce law, on the appointment OF
substitute legislature members by
boards of county commissioners in
stead of by special election and on
the right of legislature to pass local
or special laws on large number OF
subjects.
Copies of the subject matter to
be voted upon are now being
printed for the secreatry Of state
to be certified to the various county
clerks.
Both the initiative petition of
Bishop George Hunting, providing
for interlocutory DEGREES of divorce
and doing away with the short-term
divorce, and the substitute bill
passed by the legislature, which
would not have the introductory
decree, but would do away with the
short-term divorce, will be voted
upon at the general election. Under
the Hunting plan six months resi-
dence would be required for the
interlocutory decree and an addi-
tional six months must elapse be-
fore the final decree is granted.
The proposed Amendment on the
appointment of legislative members
is as follows:
an case of the death or resigna-
ton Of any member Of the legisla-
ture, either senator or assemblyman,
the county commissioners of the
county from which such member
was elected shall appoint person
of the same political party as the
party which elected such senator or
assemblyman to fill such vacancy;
provided, that this section shall
apply only In cases where no gen.
eral election takes place between
the time Of such death or resigna-
ton and the next succeeding ses-
sion of the legislature"

providing that the legislature shall

DUEL COST HIM
TIP OF HIS NOSE

Victor Garnica, proprietor of the
u. & |. soft" drink parlors in Gold
field, had the tip of his nose shot off
when he fought a duel with A. R.
Rhinehart in the U. & !. about 5
o'clock on, the evening of the
Fourth. Four shots were fired, all
missing their mark except the one
that hit Garnica. Both men are out
on bonds, says the Goldfieid Tri-
bune.
The trouble is said to have arisen
over some remark passed by one
of the men concerning some girls.
Both men had been drinking.
Officer Roy Gillian arrested the
men and had them locked up in
the county Jail. Garnica was re-
leased under $3.50 bond when he
appeared before Justice Cuddy with
Joe Murphey, his attorney.
After the two men were ar
rested Gillian went back to the place
in company with Sheriff w. H.
Thomas and found eight men laid
out drunk. Two were "paralyzed,"
stretched out on pool tables. Sheriff
Thomas at once closed the place for
the night, and placed special
deputy there until morning.
Gillian secured the names Of six
witnesses to the shooting. The
date of the hearings has not been
set.

SANE
VACATIONS
Thanks to the auto, a big part
Of the annual vacation problem has
been solved for many Of our citi-
zens. While some Winnemucca auto
owners may contend their machine
is an expensive proposition when
taken all the year round, they must
admit that in the matter Of saw
ing money at vacation time it is in
class by itself. Not only Is travel
by auto cheaper than by rail, be-
cause the whole family can go along
on one gasoline bill, but it has the
advantage Of being ready the min
ute you want to 60 and right there
the minute you want to come home.
Tourists are out by the thousands
now, and many of our own people
are joining in the hot-weather pill
grimages. Hundreds of others, of
course, will be forced to remain at
home. But these should have no
cause for complaint. There is no
more enjoyable vacation than q few
days spent close to home, with
relatives or friends you don't meet
as often as you would like to.
There's lots to be had in the way Of
scenery without going miles away.
and after all hunting something to
see or jostling with thousands who
are only out for the same purpose
is poor way of having a good time
and leaves the vacationist in worse
shape upon returning than when
he went away.
Try spending q vacation close to
home once. Take it easy; keep in
the shade; eat sensibly and dress
comfortably. And when the days
you have set aside for this pur-
pose have been used up we'll guar
antee you'll decide that, while you
may not have seen the wonders
others picture to you upon their
return, you have saved q lot Of
money and-what's best Of ALL
you've returned to work feeling .
whole lot better.

MR.. HARDINc's
PATRIOTISM

Back among his old friends and
neighbors for the first time since
he became president, Mr.. Harding
doubtless was tempted to confine
his remarks in his Fourth Of July
address at Marion to personal remi-
niscences, but the lesson Of the
day dedicated to expressions Of
patriotism was too plainly applicable
to live issues Of the hour to be
ignored.
There was no note Of pessimism
in the presidents address, although
it did contain solemn warnings. In
the light Of recent tragic occurrences
which have shocked and saddened
all good citizens, he could not re-
frain from urging reaffirmations Of
practical loyalty to the constitution
and it's guarantees of the freedom
of the individual. His denunciation
of class or group domination EN-
ploying force was frank and Wig
orous and breathed the spirit Of the
declaration Of independence as well
as Of the constitution. my own
outstanding conviction after six
teen months in the presidency ID
that the greatest traitor to his
country Is he who appeals to pre-
JUDGE and infiames passion when
sober judgment and honest speech
are so necessary to establish tran
quillity and security" Mr.. Hard
ing's plea for sincere support of
the prohibition amendment as the
most practical form of patriotism
recalls Mr.. Hughes's apt remark
that the real test of patriotism is
the observance not of laws that we
like, but Of those that run counter
to our personal preferences.
There is a patriotism Of peace as
well as of war and solution Of the
problems now confronting our coun-
try places a special responsibility
at this time on everyone who calls
himself a good American citizen.

TRUE AS
GOSPEL

Harry L. Tyler is a member of
the great advertising firm Of Will
liam H. Rankin Company, concern
that buys millions Of dollars Of ad-
vertising space for producers. In q
recent interview Mr.. Tyler said:
Newspaper space is worth vastly
more today, and cost the user pro-
portionately less for what he gets,
than at any time in history. This 10
as true of the smaller country
paper as Of the big city dailies. For
wherever it is situated, the news
paper that survives in these times
has become more than an individual
enterprise-it is an institution
whose lines Of influence are closely
woven into the very fabric Of the
community life around it,. There is
ample reason for the great power of
newspaper space. Any manufac-
turer that has placed a good prod
uct on the dealers shelf and is get
ting eye-strain from watching It
stay there can trace it to just one
thing-he ID not telling the people
what he has to sell and where they
can buy it. And people can't be
expected to buy things which they
do not know exist."
