Aggies loom as formidable opponents
against Denver university. outstand-
ing contender for the Rocky Noun

With virtually every team but Utah
university and Denver definitely elm

games remaining on the conference
schedule, Utah against Utah Aggies and
Denver against the Colorado Aggies,
are crucial clashes. Defeat for either
leading team will mean its elimina-
ton and the championship will go to
whichever eleven is successful.
The defeat of the Colorado School

to the crippled condition of McGione,

Ask for Seven Days
Notice of Marriage
Episcopal Clergy Take Steps to Mini
mize Divorce Evil and Preserve
Sanctity of Marriage

An attempt to minimize the di-
yorce evil of the state was made by
the clergy of the Episcopal church
at the recent conyocation held In
Reno. Seven days notice before
performing the marriage ceremony
will be asked by the clergy of the
church.
A statement issued by Reverend
u. Tanner Brown of Reno, is as fol-
lows:
Realizing that the sanctity of
marriage and the marriage relation
ship seems lightly regarded these
days, as evidenced by the prevalence
of divorce. and the apparent
thoughtlessness of many who enter
this sacred union; and realizing
furthermore, that the marriage
problem should be guarded before
the wedding as well as afterward,
the Bishop and clergy of the Episco-
pal Church at the 18th Annual Con-
vocation, held in Reno, Nevada. Jan
uary 29th and 30th, 1922, have
agreed among themselves to ests b.
lish the custom of asking for seven
days notice before performing the
marriage ceremony.
There is growing In the minds of
the best people of the country the
conviction that the state as well as
the church must eventually make a
certain period of probation before
such vital step as marriage is TAX
en-. Our Nation and civilization are
founded on the security of the home.
All right minded persons must unite
in preserving this institution. Sure
ly seven days are all too short a
time for consideration of life rela-
tionship. There is now pending be-
fore congress the Jones constitution
al amendment to establish a mini
mum standard of marriage and di-
yorce. an expected result of which
would be a months publication of
the banns of matrimony and so the
prevention of both bigamy and
hasty marriage. The Episcopal
church, having the most strict law
relative to divorce, which allows no
exceptions, is the natural leader In
this advanced step of guarding mar
riage at the beginning

ILL WIND In CALIFORNIA
JUMPS ALFALFA PRICE TO
$12 FOR FALLON PRODUCT

1t is an i'll wind that does not
blow some good for some one, say
the hay growers of Churchill coun-
ty. Due to the bad weather expert
enced in California during the past
few weeks the price offered for hay
in Fallon has reached its peak OF
twelve dollars a ton.
1t is stated by the local dealers
that the California dairy men we're
depending on early grass for their
cattle but that the recent snow
storm and cold weather retarded the
growth to such an extent that a
lively demand has been created for
dairy hay. During the week the
price for alfalfa has been fiuctuating
between ten and twelve dollars.
More alfalfa has been moved dur
ing the past ten days than in any
similar period of time in the history
of the project, is the opinion of
many of the early settlers of the
project.

More Than Two Births
To Each Death Here
coed Girls by Fourteen; Many
Native Born Parents

Births in Churchill county during
the year 1921 exceeded the deaths
by more than two to one, according
to the statistical bulletin of the state
board of health recently issued by
DR.. s. l.. Lee, safe health officer.
The total number of births dur
ing the year was LOG and the total
number of deaths forty-seven. Ma
tive born citizens of the United
States were parents of seventy-seven
of the children born during the year
in this county, placing Churchill
county as third in the state in num-
ber. The county is forth in num-
ber of births during the year.
Males exceeded the number of fe-
males born by fourteen, sixty boys
having been born and forty-six
girls.
The total number of deaths in the
state shows that the ages between
fifty and sixty years were the most
fatal, during the past year. 1873
deaths having occurred in that peri
cd of life. In Churchill county there
were six deaths of children under
one year of age, and six deaths of
persons between the ages of thirty
and forty years, eight between the
ages of fifty and sixty and eight be-
tween sixty and seventy. In the
number of deaths, Churchill county
is eighth in the list, being tied with
Humboldt and White Pine counties.
Douglas county only had seventeen
deaths during the year.
There we're also forty-seyen mar
riage licenses issued in Churchill
county during the year, the county
being fifth in number.
Every state in the Union is cred
tied with at least one native-born
parent in the state with the exeep-
tion of Delaware. Rhode Island pre-
sents one mother, who married a
foreigner. Alaska, Florida, New
Hampshire and Louisiana presents
one father each, but no mother,
Hawaii gave three mothers but no
father.
"A striking coincidence" says the
report, lis that the number of
births in 1921 were exactly the
same as for the year 1917, both as
regards to number and sex, total
1895; males, 1872; females, 673.

Possibility Of City Obtaining Feder-

Streets Is Excellent

OF WILLIAM BYRNE AT ACME
Night Watchman Charges Proprietor
of Soft Drink Establishment
With Being Intoxicated

Floyd o. Booze is of the opinion
that there is little question but that
Fallon can have its streets paved in
accordance with the federal high
way act, was the announcement
made by Mayor II. A Clark at a
meeting of the city council Tuesday
night.
With federal aid the city would
obtain $4,000 per mile of paving
that traversed the town. The aid is
given to towns of less than $500
population. The council authorized
the city engineer to furnish the nee
essary data to the state highway de-
partment. 1t was decided to re-
quest that the road follow the route
of the Lincoln highway. Entering
from the west side of town 1t would
run east on Williams avenue to
Main street, south on Main street
to Center street, east on Center
street to East street. south on East
street to Saltwater and east on
Saltwater avenue to the city limits
1t was estimaed that that route
would require approximately a mile
and quarter of paving. The city's
share of the expense would be about
$4,000, in the opinion of City En-
gineer Crehore.
raised by special assessment of
property fronting on the proposed
route. The assessment will be the
same for all property along the
route, regardless of valuation, il
was decided. 1t was thought that
the cost to the property owners
would be about seyenty-five cents
per front foot, less than side walk
assessment. The money will be i'm
mediately available through an
emergency loan. The property own
ers will then have two and a half
years in which to pay.
The city clerk was ordered to pub
lish notice of the assessment. The
action being taken to hasten the
work IL 1t Is possible to obtain the
government aid. If the government
accepts the plan of the city council
ii is thought that the work on the
paving can be started about the first
of May and should then be complet-
ed during the summer

The license of William Byrne, to
conduct soft drink establishment

ed that the proprietor of the Acme

tion on last Friday night.
Mrs. c. Il. Bingham, president of

appeared before the council and re-
quested that some action be taken
to improve the streets near the
schools. She stated that the streets
near the West End school house. the
Oats Park school and the old high
school were in a very bad condition
and that it was often necessary for
students to wade in mud to reach
the schools.
Mrs. Bingham also requested that
the city council place two electric
lights in front of the Oats Park
school.
The city engineer was authorized
to obtain plans and specifications
for a pumping plant. pipe line and
electric power line to the city water
plant. A mile of line would be re-
quired to the plant II is planned
to install pumps with capacity of
