the newness of city-manager gov

what Is The Biggest
Thing l Can Do For

The biggest thing for your child
is not to leave him money. Edgar
Guest says Better than money

and manly and able to earn his
own way in the world" The big
gest thing for your children is such
a broad education as will fit them
to achieve the highest success and
happiness of which they are cap
able.
Psychologists have classified
children according to types OF
mind, and have shown what kind
of reading each type needs in or
der to avoid one-sidedness and in
sure all round development. Fun
loving Billy of the "vital tempera
ment" should have books that grip
his attention through interesting
illustrations and vivid style in the
line of serious ambitions and aims.
The Sympathetic" Mary needs
reading that will add firmness and
stability to her character.
Did you ever know of an en-
cyclopedia that was prepared de-
signedly and definitely to supply
the right kind of reading, in the
right way, for the varying mental
types of children? But that is just
the thing that was done by the
builders of Compton's Pictured

FERNLEY ALFALFA
IS FREE To MOVE

Definite assurance that California
will not extend the alfalfa weevil
quarantine to Lyon county and the
Fernley district have been received
by DR.. Edward Records, state quar-
antine officer, from California quar-
antine officials. The matter was
discussed at conference on Satur-
day at Sacramento by Nevada Of
| ficials.
The spread of the alfalfa weevil
in western Nevada during the past
two years has caused gradual
extension of the quarantine area
until parts of Pershing county have
been included but an inspection of
the Fernley district failed to dis
close any infected fields there,
according to the officials.
The shipment or hay from quar-
| antined areas into California is
prohibited by the quarantine and
inspectors are kept busy in the dis
tricts to enforce it. Despite the
! embargo, little of the Washoe coun.
ty hay crop of last year was left
over this spring.
Cutting the first crop of hay this
year has been about completed in
this vincinity and various reports
indicate that it was a good crop
something that was not expected
due to the very cold weather in
the spring.-Reno Gazette.

The state engineer leaves tomor-
row on a trip to Ely, Battle Noun

office for week or ten days. Dur
ing his absence, he said, he will
endeavor to clean up the business

pending and put them in shape SO
that a possible successor may not
be hampered by loose ends of work.
Incidentally, the colonel will at

TARIFF ON WOOL
NOT SET TOO HIGH

Editorial in the San Francisco
Chronicle.)
The Senate has agreed upon a
duty of 33 cents pound on
secured wool, which is a higher
rate than that passed by the House.
There is a propaganda turned loose
in opposition to that rate, on the
ground that it will unduly increase
the price of clothing.
There is no foundation for that
claim. A very heavy suit of mems
clothes will weigh about 5la pounds
complete, trimmings buttons and
all. If the suit is really all wool
probably five pounds of secured
wool are used to make it. There is
little waste in manufacture. At
33 cents a pound that would add
$1.65 to a suit for which your
tailor would charge you $75 or
$50 or more. The lighter weights,
such as are usually worn-almost
exclusively-in this state, and suits
made of cloth containing cotton,
have much less wool. Ladies' gar
ments are much lighter. Anyone
can satisfy himself by weighing a
suit or garment at home. The
claim that the proposed rate will
greatly increase the price of cloth
ing is bunk, put forth on the as
sumption that nobody ever weighs
a garment or is endowed with the
capacity to think.
There has always been contention
on the duty of wool. We do not
produce, and in recent years never
have produced, anything like the
quantity of wool which we con-
sumo. In 1920, in round numbers,
we produced 259,000,O00 and inn
ported 100000 pounds. That
was an unusually large excess of
imports, resulting from the depres-
sion of the industry in this country
and killing off of focks in the face
of overpowering competition from
Australia, South Africa and Argen-
tina, where feed, and therefore
wool, is far cheaper than here.
But since 1918, when the Under
wood tariff put wool on the free
list, importations have steadily in
creased and are driving our sheep
men out of business.
1t must be remembered that this
duty of 33 cents, is on secured
wool and is equivalent to but from
one-third to one-half that amount
on western woods as usually ship.
ped. 1t is no more than is re.
CURED to enable our wool growers
to compete on even terms with
foreign wool. This is the first
time that our duty has been leviec
on the secured wool as actually
used, which is the only fair way.

SAVED FROM DEATH
IN DEATH VALLEY

Four boys had a narrow escape
from the poignant torture of dying
from thirst on the desert in the
southern end of Death Valley coun-
try last Thursday, according to the
story told by w. B. Hinchman, as
sistant traffic manager of the Tono-
pah and Tidewater, who happened
to be on the train that took the
boys out of the charnel house of
creation.
The boys were on their way
from Los Angeles to Utah and had
a hazy- knowledge of the country
through with they were travelling.
They passed by Silver Lake in
safety and proceeded on their way
until Is miles out, when their car
broke down and left them helpless
without water in the heart of the
most forbidden section, with the
mercury boiling around 1870 degrees.
They started to walk back to Silver
Lake but only one managed to
stagger into the station with a
piteous appeal for water and re-
lief for his pals. The station
agent could not leave as he was
expecting party Of miners with a
load of ore which had to be taken
in before the arrival of the tarin.
The miners some hours later took
up the trail and two miles out
picked up the youngest of the
party, lad of Ia years, who was
lying unconscious in the sand. The
other two were also found and
taken to the station to be shipped
home. They sold their car, and
Overland costing $1,000, to the
station agent for $50.
The week before another even
more thrilling escape was chronicled.
The north-bound train knocked over
a box that was planted on the rails.
The emergency was applied and the
engine crew jumped down to see

rails and hanging from a crooked
nail was a large sheet of whit
paper with the following message
scrawled; "Save us; we are dying.
Stone house west of tracks" The
trainmen organized with torches
and flashlights and after an hour
reached an old stone cabin that had
not been occupied for Is years. In
side was a family consisting of
father, mother, daughter and son.
Their car had broken down and
they sought refuge in the only
place that would shelter them from
the terrific heat. They had been
without water for 10 hours and
had no food.-Tonopah Times.

State POLITICS WARMING UP
WITH MORE NEW CANDIDATES

filed Tuesday by A. J. Stinson for
the Republican nomination for state
mining inspector, the position which
he now holds, and by G. w. Waits,
Washoe county rancher, who is
seeking a place on the Republican
ticket as a nominee for the as
sembly.
1t was reported at the court
house in Reno Tuesday, that Roy
Burrows, former city councilman,
is to be a candidate for long term
commissioner.
With Harry H. Atkinson, Tono-
pah attorney, in the race for the
Republican nomination for attorney
general; with two Washoe county
men preparing to join the guberna-
torial candidates already announced
and with two others ready to plunge
into the congressional primary fight,
the state political situation was
animated with great activity. And
with the Atkinson announcement
from South Las Vegas, had filed
his declaration of candidacy for the
Republican nomination for state
treasurer.
From apparently well authenti-
Gated sources came the report that
another day will find William Kear-
ney, Reno lawyer, as a declared
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor, with the pos
sibility that James T. Boyd, another
Reno attorney, will assert his candi-
dacy in the Democratic guberna-
torial primary.
Word from Sparks is to the eff
feet that A. L. Cross, state assem-
blyman, will be an active candidate
before the end of the week in the
Democratic congressional primary
while friends of Gilbert. Ross, state
bank examiner, are expecting to
make a four-cornered race of it
with Charles l.. Richards and H. w
Huskey already in the running.
Atkinson's announcement was au.
thorized by a representative of the
Nye county man in Carson City
The candidate is in Los Angeles
and will return at once to launch
his campaign. His declaration was
filed yesterday. He will fight il
out for the Republican nomination
with Judge B. F. Curler of Reno
The entry of the Tonopah mar
into the state campaign is con
sidered one of the most important
political moves in recent weeks il
view of the fact that great pressure
was brought from certain quarter,
to induce him to seek the Repub
lican nomination for representative
in congress. Atkinson's announce
ment has been expected daily sine,
he was in consultation with Washo,
Republican leaders a fortnight ago
He is one of the most prominen
members of the Nevada bar and il
equally prominent in fraternal cir
cles, having been elected to higl
offices in the various orders will
which he is affiliated. Mr.. Atkin
son served two terms as distric
attorney of Nye county and fol
many years has been active in tn,
affairs of his party.
E. j. Hunting, who is member
of the Las Vegas school board, ha
for many years been closely as
sociated with the affairs of unior
labor organization in southern Ne
vada. With his entry into the cam
paign it is expected the Republi
cans will have a full ticket in tn,
field within a day or two.
