M0lhEF was so excited rhe uay sne came, and went laughing and danc- ing all over the house, exclaiming over everything. q can't imagine that SO we'll. Mother moves go quietly now, everywhere, and Is so tired, most all the time) But she wasn't tired then, 1 Nurse says-not a mite.
 But how did Father act? I de manded. Wasn't he displeased and scandalized and shocked, and every thingi"
 Nurse shrugged her shoulders and raised her eyebrows-the way she does when she feels particularly superior. Then she said:
 Do? What does any old fool beggin' your pardon an no offense meant Miss Mary Marie-but what does any man do what's got bejuggled with a pretty face, an his senses con- pletely took away from him by a chit of girl? We'll, that's what he did. He acted as if he was bewitched He followed her around the house like dog-when he wasn't leadin' her to something new; an he never took his eyes off her face except to look at us, as much as to say: Now aln't she the adorable creatureT
 My father did thatf' I gasped. And, really. you know, just couldn't believe my ears. And you wouldn't, either, if you knew Father. Why, l never saw him act like that!"
 No, I guess you didn't" laughed Nurse Sarah with a shrug. And neither did anybody else-for long,"
 But how long did it lasti' l asked.
 'Oh, a month, or maybe six weeks shrugged Nurse Sarah. "Then 1t came September and college began, and your father had to go back to his teach ing. Things began to change then"
 Right then, so you could see then?" wanted to know.
 Nurse Sarah shrugged her shoulders again.
 "Oh, Ia! child, what little ques- tion-box you are, an no mistake" she sighed. But she didn't look mad-not like the way she does when I ask why she can take her teeth out and most of her hair off and cant; and things like that GAS If didn't know! What does she take me fora childO She didn't even look displeased-Nurse Sarah loves to talk. GAS If I didn't know that, tooD She just threw that quick look of hers over her shoulder and settled back contentedly in her chair. I knew then I should get the whole story. And I did. And I'm go- ing to tell 1t here In her own words just as we'll as l can remember r. bad grammar and all. So please re- member that I am not making all those mistakes. It's Nurse Sarah. 1 guess, though, that I'd better put 1t into new chapter. This one is yards long already. How do they tell when to begin and end chapters? I'm thinking it's going to be some job, writing this book-dary, l mean. But l shall love it, 1 know. And this is real story-not like those made-up things I've always written for the girls at school.

But he'd found one now all right 1; and Nurse said there was nothing to do but to make the best of 1t and get ready for her.
 There wasn't anybody to go to the wedding. Grandma Anderson was sick, SO of course she couldn't go, and Grandpa was dead, so of course he couldn't go, and there weren't any brothers or sisters, only Aunt Jane in St. Paul. and she was so mad she wouldn't come on So there was no chance of seeing the bride till Father brought her home.
 Nurse said they wondered and wOn- dered what kind of woman 1t could be that had captured him. q told her I wished she wouldn't speak Of my mother as if she was some kind of hunter out after game; but she only chuckled and said that's about what 1t amounted to in some cases.) The very idea
 The whole town was excited over the affair, and Nurse Sarah heard a lot of their talk. Some thought she was an astronomer like him. Some thought she was very rich, and may be famous. Everybody declared she must know a lot, anyway, and be wonderfully wise and intellectual; and they said she was probably tall and wore glasses, and would be thirty years old, at least. But nobody guessed anywhere near what she really was Nurse Sarah said she should never forget the night she came. and how she looked, and how utterly habber- gasted everybody was to see her little slim eighteen -year-Old girl with yellow, curly hair and the merriest laughing eyes they had ever seen.

TONOPAH YOUTH
BADLY INJURED
FOUND CAP WHICH WAS DIS
CHARGED, INJURlNG HIS
LEFT EYE AND HAND

Little James MeVeigh, 7-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. James Nc
Weigh, who live near the West End
mine, was frightfully injured, when
he suffered the loss of the left eye
and the tips of the first three
fingers of the left hand. The ac-
cident was the result of the boy
finding a cap in the back yard
of his home, and in lighting it with
a match. The discharge followed
and the screams of the youth
brought his mother and father into
the yard. DR.. Mcleod was imme-
diately summoned and the boy was
removed to the Mine Operators
hospital where his injuries were
dressed. An operation to the III
iured eye will probably be neces-
sary, but it will not be performed
until tomorrow.-Tonopah Bonanza.

OPPORTUNITY
FOR ALL

Those who habitually proclaim
that America is no longer the land
of opportunity it once was speak
with slight regard for facts. The
truth of this was illustrated forci-
bly, when President Harding, address
sing the home folks on his recent
visit to Marion, Ohio, waxed remin-
iscent and told how as a boy he
rode into Marion on a slow mule.
Perhaps those who may have seen
him engaged in the impossible eff
fort to make the mule quicken its
gait thought it a grotesque spec
tacle. Certainly none would have
dreamed of the height which the
boy, long since man, has attained.
The lessen of the story lies in that
opportunity is given every boy in
this land. Just as III Napoleon's
day every common solder carried
in his knapsack potentially the
baton of a marshal of France, so
in this land every boy has the
chance to rise in honor and fame.
Birth and poverty are not bars.
And it is not necessary to reach
the presidency to succeed. Many
other positions are just as lofty and
as honorable. The merit lies in
rising. Perhaps a mistake is made
in regarding the presidency as the
height of American ambition. Boys
are told they have a chance to be
president. If they banked on that
chance alone, it would be far too
slight to instill ambition. But
climbing and keeping on climbing
in whatever pursuit one is engaged
is just as honorable an accomplish
ment as gaining the presidency,
though it may be minus the fame
of the office. If there were not
other rewards as great there would
be little to fight for.
America always has been and
remains the land of opportunity for
those ambitious. to grasp what is
offered. Everyone has a chance.
The lowliest at the start of life
may be the most honored at the
end. Often has that been illus
trated. The American government
will face no real peril so long as
such conditions continue.

A BALD-HEADED
RACE

A<E>A
The mystery of the barber with
hairless dome who has just the tonic
to make hair spront over night has
been solved, the solution coming
from no less scientific authority
than the Smithonian Institution
The male of the species is des-
tined to badness and nothing can
save him because nature has decided
that he no longer requires pro-
tective skull thatch, a real necessity
in stone club days.
So says DIR. Ales Hrdlicka, Of the
division of pathology of the In
stitute, who has made an exhaus-
tive study Of why the modern young
man is showing a tendency toward
badness.
So gradually is the vogue of the
shiny dome making its appearance
however, that some had not noticed
its coming. According to the scien-
tist whose name is not a typo
graphical error, nature started the
denuding process $500 years ago
and will probably reach its goal
$50 years hence. Reckless in
deed would be he who predicted
HON many applications, quarts OF
barrels Of sure-fre hair restorer will
be sold by baldheaded BARRIERS in
the interim.

NEEDED, A
CONSCIENCE

"The American people as a whole
have not as yet developed a con-
science in relation to the accident
problem" Severe words, but are
they not deserved? This indictment
is contained in the monthly Stats
teal bulletin of a big life insurance
company, generally a coldly scien-
tific document. 1t would almost
appear as though the expert Stats
tician, accustomed as he is to deal
dispassionately with prosaic facts
and figures, was unable this time
after compiling his tables of ac-
cident mortality, to refrain from ex-
pressing his Indignation at the cheap
ness in which human life is held in
our country.
The death rate per 100000 in
1920 from accidents within the so
called United States registration
area was 1877. In England and
Wales the corresponding figure was
46.7. There were 10000 more
deaths from accidents in American
registration area in 1920 that would
have occurred If the rate in England
had prevailed. Railroad and auto
mobile accidents and reckless use
of firearms are chiefly responsible
for the greater number of fatalities
in this country. There are com
paratively few grade crossings in
England and there are few automo-
biles compared with the number in
use in America.
Fatal accidents from firearms are
eight times as numerous here as in
England. Firearms, especially re
volvers and pistols, are difficult tc
procure in England. Here they car
be bought as easily as any other
articles, except in one or two states
"A conscience in relation to the
accident problem" That is what we
need. When are we going to fee
guilty as a people and move in earn
est to stop the slaughter?

REPUBLICANS FOR
STATE ECONOMY
Tannshill of Virginia City, Cam
didate for Secretary of State,
Reiterates Keynote in
Making Announcement

Storey county took its place in
the state political procession this
week. Virginia City is to have a
candidate on the Republican pri-
mary ballot and he is Alex l.. Tan
nahill, Storey county's lone rep
resentatiye in the lower house Of
the legislature, and formerly state
senator. Mr.. Tannahill's formal an
nouncement adequately tells the
story. As addressed to Silas E.
Ross, chairman of the Republican
state central committee, it follows:
"Allow me to announce my can
didacy for nomination by the Re-
publican party as its candidate at
the ensuing primary election. for
the Office Of secretary of state of
Nevada. And | desire through you
to present my name to the Republ-
can voters as an applicant for such
nomination

| ministration. This belief Is founded
on my experience as a legislator.
Four times have | been honored by
the people of Storey county, three
| times as member Of the assembly
and once as state senator. Ten
years of such participation in pub
lie affairs have, believe, given ME
knowledge and insight of state
needs and conditions that can best
be put to beneficial use for the
public good.
"Should / be nominated and cleo
ted, | pledge my full time and ener-
gies to the duties of the office; to
manage all state business that
may have a part in with all the
economy that efficiency will permit
and to maintain and. promote, with
all my heart, the welfare and good
name of the state in which | was
born and have spent my life.
"Knowing that the citizens OF
Nevada will select as party candi-
dates those most worthy of con-
fidence, and hoping to be honored
thereby, l am, with highest respect
every sincerely yours,
fsigned) "ALEX L. 'TANNAHILL."
This assures contest for the Re-
publican nomination in view of W
B. Alexander's announcement sew
eral weeks ago.
Mr.. Tannahill refers to economy
This looms as the keynote of the
Republican state campaign. Indeed

EVERYBODY MAY
OWN ONE

Automobile production reached
the peak in June. Advice is that
the output of medium and high
priced cars will now decline.
That is not to be taken, however,
that there will be any less cars
made. One concern, that means to
contest the field with another that
has long enjoyed monopoly IN
cheapness, has just bought COM
plete plant, ready for operation,
and will at once start out with
capacity Of 100000 year. At
this rate, the rate, of course, is
merely responsive demand. An
other year or two will see every
farm and almost every house with
its own car.
When the figures are discussed
there will be the usual assertion that
horses will become an unknown
species, but experience stands solidly
against prediction. When the auso-
mobile ceased to be curiosity
this claim was first made and it
continued to be iterated and en-
phasized as the cars came more and
more into use, but the horse is
still with us and promises to ever
continue. The noblest of all beasts
has use where no machine can take
his place and his kind is more
numerous and commands higher
price than even when the automo-
bile became first generally adapted.

PRIMARY CONTEST IF THREE
UP FOR NoN.PARTIsAN OFFICE

1t is a peculiar twist of the Ne
vada election laws that makes two
candidates oppose each other twice
in the non-partisan offices when
there are more than two candidates.
It has been the general belief that
there is no primary election for the
offices in which the political parties
of the candidates are not required
to be stated, but that belief has
been erroneous. probably because
there have not been more than two
candidates for any of those offices
under the election laws as it now
stands. Carson Appeal.

OUR LAMENTED
WAR LOANS

Business is picking up" ac-
cording to reports from all sections
of the country, none Of which re-
fers to the receipt of principal or
interest on Europe's war debt to
this country.
Events emphasize the sound bust
ness sense of President Harding
and Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon in opposing passage by Con-
gress Of a soldiers bonus bill which
depends upon repayment of the
billions lent by the United States
to her allies in the war to pay it.
Jules v. Parmentier, Frances en-
voy to confer with the war debt
refunding commission, has arrived
in Washington. Parmentier, it is
indicated, will present his finely en-
crossed credentials, review Frances
financial condition at length, and
conclude by telling the commission
his government can pay nothing
now, leaving it to the commission ia
suggest a solution of the debt prob
lem.
It is becoming increasingly doubt
full If the United States will receive
payment of interest even on its
war loans to Europe for years to
come, with the possible exception
of partial payment of interest from
Great Britain. Administration lead
ers who have held to a financial
program that did not anticipate
such payments have followed a
wise course and the only logical
one under the circumstances.

COMPROMISE
NOWi-


The better outlook in the railroad
dispute demonstrates anew the folly
of provocative tactics in industrial
controversies. There is nothing that
can be attempted in the way of con-
ference and settlement now that
could not have been initiated before
the walkout and the counter threat
to outlaw the strikers.
Nothing has been gained, while
everyone knows what has been lost.
Labor has lost wages that it can
never recover. The railroads need
ing the maintenance of their rolling
stock in the most efficient condition,
are further handicapped. The public
feels the effect on business of every
interruption of transportation.
The day Of the strike and lock-
out should be over. Men component
to reach leadership on either side
should not permit the passion of
dispute to lead them to cut off
their noses to spite their faces.
Eventually, if they stop to think
it out, they must know that the end
will be conference and an agree
ment. They had much better
reach that adjustment with the
least loss and interruption possible,
bottle for their own sakes and
for the sake of the public
the are supposed to serve and
from whom they draw their money.
II the rail dispute has reached
the point where that realization has
been arriver at, the sooner the whole
matter is adjusted the better for
both sides and for the country.
