The Story OF
Our States

TE IN I'M
SS9NSssb& NsEje:S Wei Snowy" and
VSssNA KsSikysey is taken from
@ the Sierra
&EyXn> N e v Il d a S,
those lofty mountains which sep
arate the State from California.
Most Of the history of the state
centers in this Western section,
near the Sierras, and it is here
that all Of Nevada's principal
cities are located.
The first white man to cross
the present state was the Fran.
ciscan Monk, Father Cares. who
made his way across the deserts
to California in 1775. In 1925
Peter S. Ogden of the Hudson's
Bay company discovered the
Humboldt river, which is some
times called Ogden river after
him.
The next memorable trip
across the state was that by
Fremont in 1S43, when he went
to California at the time of the
outbreak of the Mexican war
1t was this war which In 1915
resulted in Mexico ceding a large
area to the United States, OF
which Nevada was a part. When
this was organized into terri
tories, the Territory of Utah ex-
tended to California. The West
ern inhabitants. however, were
left TO their own resources and
accordingly organized their own
government. Resenting the at
titude of Utah they petitioned
to be annexed to California.
In 1859 the Comstock Lode
was discovered and Nevada had
its own mining boom. Popula-
ton Immediately grew by leaps
and bounds and in 1861 Nevada
was formed into a separate ter
ritory. Later, portions of Utah
were added and the lower part
of the state was taken from Ari-
IONA. Petitions for statehood
were made but it was not until
1864 that Nevada became the
thirty-sixth state of the Union.
Though Nevada ranks sixth
in size with its area of 110,690
square miles. 1t has the smallest
population of any of the 4S
states Between 1900 and 1900
there was a marked decrease In
the population due to the falling
off of mining industry.

Before the aai e1ie government u
he United States spent about n bill
lion dollars IL year for all purposes.
including interest on the public debt.
In the fiscal year ending June 30. 1870.
the first full fiscal year after fighting
stopped, the government spent in
round figures six billion four hundred
million dollars. Ia the fiscal year 192l.
that is, up to June 80. 1921. il spenl
$5,115,927, 6S9..3O, and in The fiscal Se.ti.
of 1922, which vii. end on June 80
1929, it will spend more than four biz
lion dollars, says Secretary Mellon OF
the Treasury Department.
These figures include interest ON the
+public debt Which amounts TO about
zone billion dollars, but include moth
ing for sinking fund or other debt re
demption. Including both interest and
sinking fund. the government will
spend more than four times as mncl
the fiscal year 1922 as it spent yearly
before the war.

cording to a careful analysis made by
the late DR.. Il. i. Rosa, of the United
States bureau of standards, a govern
ment scientist who vas deeply and in
diligently interested in the subject,
every man, oma and child in this
country contributes an average of
fifty-three dollars in taxes to the sup
port of the national government. Ac-
tually it is nearer fifty-four than fifty
three dollars, but | am taking the
smaller sum for the sake of the round
number. That is, the average family
of five persons pays $3.50 a year out
of its earnings to the federal govern
ment alone, in addition to what is
paid for state, county and city taxea1

BASE RUNNING HURT
 BY TERRIFIC SLAMS
Hit and Run Game Is Now Most
 Popular Idea.
Ball Players Have Not Slowed Up as Records Would lndicate-Eesire to Emulate Deeds of Babe
 Ruth Is Blamed.

What was the matter with base running in 1921?
 Has the science of getting the jump on the pitcher, thereby enabling the runner. tu beat the throw of the catcher, become lost art?
 A glance at the major league rec Ords of last season reveals the fact that there was mighty little base run ming. Players who three or four years back stole as many as thirty bases didn't reach the double figures last summer.
 While the records make it seem that the ball players are slowing up, such is not the case. The falling off in base running has simply been due to the conditions that now exist and the style of game that is being used
 Last season the stolen base idea was practically shelved. Because of the lively ball, it was figured the hit and run was much better game to play. One run didn't mean much in 1921. The steal and the sacrifice is the one-run idea of baseball The hit and run gets them in clusters if sue cessful. That Is the big reason for the falling off in the base running records.
 The lively ball and the great desire to emulate the deeds of Babe Ruth, who became the idol of the world be- cause of his ability to hit home runs. are the other explanations. Those who scout the idea of the lively ball need only go back ten years in the records. That season-1911-Fran Baker led the American league in home runs with nine. He was called Home Run" Baker. Last season Babe Ruth led the American league with 59.
 Ty Cobb led the American league in stolen bases with S3 in 1911. Seven other players stole more than 40 bases and six players more than 30. The lively ball and the hit and run, not lack of speed on the part of the play CTS, tell the story of the decline in base running

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root iF soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why 50 many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is se common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bingham ton, N. Y., for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Advertisement.
