Yeringtoll is
Mecca OF
Hunters

Hundreds OF visitors are in Ycring
ton today, coming to be in on the
opening of the pheasant and quail
season, which is now coming to be the
one big event with the Nevada Nim-
rods. The bombardment began al
daylight this morning and has con-
continued unabated all day. Few hunt
ers have come in from the fields as
yet. but with both pheasant and quail
more plentiful than ever before. it is
probable that all the visitors will be
more than satisfied. Hotels and
rooming houses were unable to ac.
commodate the hunters. but private
homes throughout the city We're placed
at the disposal OF the hotel men and
all visitors were provided for.
There has been some difference OF
opinion as to the law, but District At
torney Guild says that the Commits.
sioners' Ordinance means what it says
which is:
Pheasants: Open season six days
Nov 18th to 10Th. both days inciu
sivc; limit, three birds per day.
Quail: Open season on month, Nov
18th to Dec. 18th; limit, 10 birds per
day

Mr.. Knight said in part: 1T takes
the cooperation of all the men and
women in community to achieve the
best results. Mason and Smith Val
leys have great agricultural resources.
for they are. by nature. the richest
portion of the State OF Nevada. But
the cnterprising character OF her citi-
zens is the biggest asset OF Lyon
County. Your progressive spirit has
been demonstrated by the development
OF your natural resources by irrigation.
But your entcrprising spirit needs to
be concentrated and intelligcntly di-
rccted by organization. And such
body you have in the Parent-teachcrs'
ASSOCIATIONS There are great possi-
biites if You will pull together No

FOR SMITH VALLEY

The farmers of Smith Valley are
taking time by the forelock in the
question Of drainage and do not
propose to let their grounds become
waterlogged, as has been done in the
past under some irrigation projects
A meeting Of the stockholders Of the
Simpson Colony Reclamation Canal
Company was held in the Simpson
school house last week and the ques-
ton Of the drainage Of the chain Of
lakes near the Beaman ranches was
thoroughly discussed and it was the
sense OF those present that the Di-
rectors Of the Company should immc-
diately take steps to provide drainage
for all Of the lands under the Simp-
son Colony Canal.
Surveys have been made for canal
to drain the Beaman lakes back to the
West Walker river, which will return
to the river during the irrigation
season, at least five thousand acre feet
of water that is now lost This water
will not only be saved to the district
for use further down the valley but a
a large amount of good land will be
rcclaiclcd that will have the heigh: Of
the water table lowered enough to
greatly increase the value Of the land.

To Have and TO Hold.

Do you ever go fishing, girls? II
you do. you know that it isn't enough
! just to have good bait. You have to
have a strong, uabreakable line, also
or else your fish will get away. You
may hook it without any trouble, but
if all you have got is weak thread
for a line, your catch viii play around
while, and then break away, and
swim gaily off to nibble at another
attractive fly.
That is the way with men. You can
catch a man with a pretty face, but
you have to hold him with brains. II
isn't enough for the outside of a girl
head to be handsomely adorned The
inside has to be equally well decorated.
A peaches and cream complexion, and
naturally wavy hair are all to the good
as far as they go. but they don't go
far enough. They have to be backed
up with gray matter if they are to be
a permanent attraction that; can al
ways play return engagement with
a man.
Women see that men put such an
generalization on female pulchritude
that it is not surprising Shat they have
fallen into the error of thinking that
their looks are the only thing that
counts. They see men clustered seven
deep around a. pretty little goose VIII o
minded if she were where she be-
longed. They see men gazing soul
fully into big. liquid, cowlfke eyes that
instead of being windows of the soul
are nothing but panes of glass that
look into an empty room. They see
men pass up clever, intelligent, home
" college graduates, in which society
one would never have a dull NOM ent.
for beautiful morons who are so7dull
that they bore one to death.
So it is no wonder that girls think
that good looks are the only thing that
matters, and that they spend their
time, and their energy, and their labor
in perfecting the technique of their
compilations, and contributing new
coiffeurs, and acquiring glad raiment.
Men, also. are under the illusion that
a woman's best bet is pretty face
for the first question they ever ask
about an unknown girl is: rs she a
good looker?' Not: as she intelli-
CENT?" ''Is she interesting"
Furthermore, a man stresses his
valuation of a woman's appearance by
always complimenting her on her
beauty when he wants to please her
He tells her how wonderful her eyes
are, or how fairy-like her feet. He
never tells her how wonderfuLly IN
derstanding and sympathetic she is, or
how entertaining
