a telegram addressed her as
"sweetie" instead of his Gus
tomsry "babe" Mrs. Jean Morris
Lightman de Ecke, of Nashville,
feared that he had been kid

81 just know he has been kid

he always calls me babe
Somebody else sent this tele-
gram and addressed it 'sweetie'
by mistake"
Her husband, Allen de Ecke,
the bride said, is a wealthy auto
mobile man Of San Francisco.
Mrs. De Ecke is said to be a
wealthy Nashville heiress.
A later telegram from Cleve-
land addressed to "babe," in
which her husband asked her to
join him at once, set the brides
fears at rest.

SMOKERS CAUSE
| MANY FOREST FIRES

Twenty per cent of all the forest
fires Started by man in the national
forests of the west during 1921,
were caused by careless tobacco
smokers, according to figures COM
piled by the forest service, United
States department of agriculture.
In California, Arizona, and New
Mexico one out of every four forest
fires due to human agencies was
started by burning cigarettes, cigars,
matches, or pipe-heels carelessly
thrown aside by smokers while in
the woods. In other parts of the
west the percentage of smokers
fires ranged from IL to Is per cent.
The total number of forest fires on
the western national forests during
the past season was 5,131, of which
number 1,444 were caused by light
ming, 1872 by smokers, and 1885 by
other human agencies.

1t is altogether unsound to con-
tinue to create deficits as a re-
suit of the administration of public
affairs and merge them into the
great mass of Indebtedness already
fastened upon the people of the
nation.
Sorry examples of this policy
are found in many western cities
and towns. Seattle people are

lines of that city, the idea being to
create cheap riding privilege ano

from operation and maintenance

a promising little city that owns
its several municipal improvements
where cheap rates are maintained
for electrical and water service
only to create certain deficits tina,

There is no surer way to ar
rive at the bankruptcy goal thar

UNSOUND METHODS
OF TAXATION

The people of the United States
are still mad on the question of
taxation. The trend is still on to
create public indebtedness for fu-
ture generations to pay. The man
who owns property will frequently
walk to he polls and endorse a
bonding proposal who would be re-
luctant to execute a first mortgage
against his property holding, yet
the bond issue which he indorses is
in effect a first mortgage and just
as binding as a privately executed
mortgage lien. Indeed, it is even
more binding and must be met with
exact promptitude. In cases of
private obligations, the mortgage
can frequently secure postponement
of payment of the principal and get
special dispensation on interest pay
ments. Bond issues must be met
when due and there can be no de-
fault in the payment of either
principal or interest, else public
credit would be seriously impaired.
The practices of the past five
years have brought about a condi-
ton that is almost intorerable in
many quarters, yet men entrusted
with the administration of public
affairs are singularly oblivious of
the fact that a top heavy indebted
ness has been created that must be
discharged and that this public in
debtedness is no less binding upon
the individual and his property
than are private obligations.
The efforts of the Harding ad-
ministration are being directed to
the retirement of the national debt
just as rapidly as available income
can be gathered for the purpose.
Not only this but the Harding ad-
ministration is preaching economy
in the hope that normal conditions
may be restored and heroic efforts
are being made to place the farm
ing industry of the nation on a
solvent basis, in a full realization
that the greatness of the nation is

C. Corkhill, democratic postmaster
editor-whatnot, who calls himself a
journalist and INDUCES invective af-
ter the manner of Charley Chaplin
slapstick stuff, campaign of Will
cation is being carried on that is
resultless and purposeless. Mr..
Corkhill, being a home grown pro-
duct on his own dunghill, aside
from counting attributes of char
acter that make him a simon-pure,
twenty-carat ass, is doing a full
part in alternating Las Vegas from
the remainder of Nevada and
making it land unto itself.
1t is refreshing to observe that
his competitor, the staid and de-
pendable Las Vegas Age, pursues
moderate and logical course and
that it's community gives the lions
share of patronage to its columns.
While the Las Vegas Review apes
the Hearst newspaper methods, the
Age tempers the local situation
with conservatism and constructive
community building effort and a
comparison of the two papers re-
fleets due amount of appreciation
of the effort put forward by Editor
Squires.
There are those in the world who
boost when they knock and applaud
when they decry, paradoxical as
the statement may seem. Happily,
Corkhill on his Las Vegas editorial

position, nor his breath less rancid

100 PER
CENT BONDS

One thing is noticeable about
the Harding Notwithstanding full
fillment is always equal to if not
greater than its promise. Mr..
Harding did not promise to bring
Liberty bonds back to par. He
promised to try to do it, and held
out the hope that it might be ac-
complished after a considerable
lapse of time. Only a little more
than year has passed since the
Republicans were given full control
of both the executive and Legislative
departments of the government, and
bonds are selling in the market al
practically 100 cents on the dollar
Some of them are selling at better
than par, while others are only
slightly below par.

ELKO WANTS TO
EDUCATE" ITS ABORICINES-

1t has come to be the fashion
for aspiring communities to make
raids on the public treasures and
careful analysis of underlying mo-
tives usually discloses selfish, sor-
did interests that are more directly
served by the expenditure of public
funds than the avowed purpose with
which the enterprise is cloaked.
Just now we observe the frantic
efforts of a. contingent of Elko
residents who want a school for
Indians established in their splendid
little city and Uncle Sam is to be
asked to set aside and expend
$4,000. Indeed, a bill has been
introduced in the United States
senate that would appropriate this
sum out of the federal treasury
which is not suffering from pie
thora from the best accounts that
reach the people of the country
from those entrusted with the ad-
ministration Of their affairs.
The whole enterprise smacks in
a most emphatic sense of the pork
barrel methods which are rightly
blamed for the top-heavy public in
debtedness of the country. 1t is
a recrudescence of the fostering
practice which will eventually bank.

PUBLIC OPINION

PROF. p. D. SCOTT, Principal
Humboldt county high school,
am very certain that the Humboldt
county high school has the best ath-

high schools in this state. | am
also certain that a number of in
terscholastic records will be lowered

this city on May goth. The train
ing process is being carried on at
this time and will be carried along
to proper time in advance of our
competition and l feel very san
guine over the probable results.
1t is not because | am the head of
the county high school, particularly,
that | take pride in the accomplish
ments, mental and physical, that
mark the progress of school activi-
ties. 1t is because | am resident
of the county and must be more
or less prideful over distinct ac-
complishment that characterizes
Humboldt county achievement of
any kind. 1t is true that / have
seen the young people in my charge
advance in years and grow more
proficient, day by day, and know
their temperaments. insist
that every form of advantage usu-
ally held out by a school of the
class is to be found in the local
school in a SURPRISING sense"

1t was rather happy idea that l

to fill void that was occasioned
when the good people of this COM
munity failed to take the chamber
of commerce questionnaires serious
ly, relating to available sleeping
quarters in Winnemucca. These
were mailed out and we received
but few replies. There seems to
be an attitude of apathy relative
to this all-important question.
When people come here for one
purpose or another they must be

happens that they have been un-
able to get temporary living quar-
