Has Uncle Forgotten He Bought EN-?

no YOU remember that Uncle Sam
purchased of Denmark in 1917
for $4,000, 900 the Virgin islands, with
an area of 142 square miles and a
population of 26,051? Well, if you do,
that's more than Uncle Sam does, ac-
cording TO the Virgin islanders.
Anyway, a delegation of three from
the Virgin islands called at the White
House recently and arranged for n
conference, at which they hope to get
the attention of this country directed
to the troubles of our newly-acquired
Islands. The United States purchased
the islands in order to keep them from
falling into the hands of Germany.
We placed navy officer in charge,
and seem to have all but forgotten the
islanders and their Islands. The dele
gates who have come to get hearing
Insist that being under the Stars and
Stripes is a hardship to them, instead
of privilege.
The original act of purchase pro-
vided that all residents of the islands
would become citizens of the United
States, unless they recorded their wish
to remain Danish subjects. No pro-
vision was made for natives of the
Islands who previously had come to
the United States or moved to other
Islands In the West Indies. They are

Where's the Hay Fever This Summer?

not hard to bear, but the reason
therefor is perplexing. The fact re-
mains, however, that most of those
who are every summer in the throes
of hay fever and incipient asthma are
strangely free from the~unversal al
ment.
Many learned authorities have at
tempted to explain the nature of the
singular malady, but your real hay
fever addict takes no stock in tech
nical descriptions. He knows that it
comes periodically and leaves period
ically, and that While it remains it is
violently and explosively in evidence.
He has the consolation of knowing
that relief is near in the higher alti-
tudes, but owing to the fact the neces-
sity of making living interferes
with his freedom of action, that con-
ISOLATION has no practical value unless
he can avail himself OF it.
Some hay fever victims fall heir
to the affection In August. but vet

however, unexpected relief has been

TTNCLE SANS experts in several
of the bureaus of the Agriculture
department and the bureau of public
health service of the Treasury de-
partnient and the various medical bu-
reaus of the War and Navy depart

question: What has become of the

Expert victims of hay fever, who
usually count upon receiving the com

about this time of year, are for some
unaccountable reason pursuing the
even tenor of their ways without the
aid of battery of handkerchefs and

general demand for an investiga-

Senator Pat Harrison Oem., Miss

that the United States government
had attempted to intimidate Cuba int3
restricting her sugar crop for the year
to 100000 tons, so as to protect
American cane and beet sugar pro-

He accused Senator Smoot '(Rep..

then would take under consideration

-Four ambassadors, sixteen minis
tiers, two agents and one minister resi-
dent and consul general appointed by
President Harding, the report says,
were persons without any previous
diplomatic experience.
while many of tie % appointments
made of persons without previous
diplomatic experience operated as
recognition Of political obligations"
the report states. "the evil of such
appointments is largely abated by the
present administration and contrasts
fayorably with the records of the first
year of other administrations.
For this record, President Harding
and Secretary Hughes are to be COM
mended. President Harding is fur
thermore deserving of commentator
in that he had selected for secretary
of state a man of the highest qualifl-
cations and one devoted to the merit
principle.

adherence to the merit system" in It's

Although Ted Cowles feared that he
had lost out to his rival. Howard Viii
izens. in his race for the heart and
hand of his old-time schoolmate, Mary
johnson, he nevertheless listened in
on her radiophone concerts every eve
ming.
Ted and Mary had together become
greatly interested in radio While at
tending college, and Ted had at first
been delighted when upon their return
70 their home town Mary had been
given a contract to sing three times n
week for the local broadcasting sta
ton. which was managed by Wilkens.
But this delight had soon changed to
Jealous rage when he saw the appar-
ent interest with which Mary well
coined Wilkens' advances.
OF late Ted hadn't seen much of
Mary-she had been so busy with her
concert work and with the attentions
which Wilkens shoWered upon her
that there hadn't been time in which
10 see her old school friend.
So that evening Ted sulked in his
clearinghouse room and almost de-
termined not to listen in on Mary's
concert, in spite of the fact that she
had sent him a little personal note
telling him that she was going to sing
some new songs this evening and maxi.
ing a special request that he listen TO
her.
Ted stared glumly at his receiving
set What in the world could she
see in Wilkens? Wilkens was I'M
scrupulous, hard, brutal. Ted felt that
he could read character, and it was
his opinion thar, if pressed, there was
almost nothing at which Wilkens
would stop. For instance, Ted in his
bitterness told himself that if Wilkens
knew about the money Ted now had
in his room, there'd be nothing Will
kens wouldn't do to get it. This
thought rather worried Ted. 1t was

the Zig vault at the local bank had

Ted felt that he didn't really need
TO worry and yet he did worry. He
worried about the money and he wor-
ried about Mary, with whom he was
very deeply in love. But there was
nothing to be gained from simply wor-
rying, so Ted tuned his receiving ap-
raratus and started to listen in on
the evenings entertainment from the
broadcasting station where Mary was
employed. about mile from Teds

DOC" M'GREGOR IS
AFTER CONSTABLESHIP

In another column will be found
the political announcement of w. L.
Doc" McGregor, who is an inde.
pendent candidate for the office Of
constable for the Tonopah township
Doc" McGregor is too well known
to the people of Tonopah and south
ern Nevada to need any formal intro
duction, having resided in Nye county
for the. last twenty-one years, where
he has constantly been a voter and
taxpayer. For a number of years he
was engaged in the livery and ore
hauling business at Manhattan, and
where he also engaged in mining,
both as an owner and leaser. He is
and aggressive and has
large property interests in Tonopah,
and was one of the heaviest losers
as a result Of the recent confiagra-
ton. His many friends are confident
that he will prove a great vote getter
at the general election, and if elected
to the office they say he will prove
an effic ent officer and fulfill the
duties incumbent upon him without
fear or favor.

GEO. v, ALLEN
MOST POPULAR
Well Equipped for Position of
Justice of the Peace by
Legal Training

Attention of Bonanza readers is
called to the candidacy of George w,

township as a non-partsan candidate,
Mr.. Allen qualified at the primary

bring with him a fund of knowledge
Of the law that is seldom encountered
in these positions. By temperament,
business judgment and learning Mr..
Allen is well fitted for the position
and in view of the fact that he has
devoted much of his time during the
past two years to studying law in
the offices of DeFlon & Gibson, he Is
we'll equipped for the position to
which he aspires.
Mr. Allen has long been identified
with the business and mining life OF
Tonopah and southern Nevada. He
has resided in this state tor the last
sixteen years and holds much mineral
land by location, and never does he
fail to perform the annual assess
ment work as required by law. When
the present chief of police, o. H.
Smith, was appointed he requested
the American legion members of To-
nopah to name an officer and Mr..
Allen was selected, and he has since
faithfully and conscisntiously per-
formed the duties incumbent without
fear or favor. A vote for George w.
Allen is an assurance that II he is
elected to the office of justice of the
peace that his rulings will be found
impartial and in strict conformance
with the statutes of this state.
