their bid being % cents a square

ing benefits and fixing costs they

The attraction at the Chautauqua
tent tonight will be the Keighley

Right" three-act comedy. It is

RENO TRACK SQUAD
PREPARES FOR MEET

Excellent track weather is helping
materially in rounding the Reno
high track squad into condition for
the interscholastic meet at Winnie
mucca Saturday, says the Reno
Journal. The dash men and hurd-
lers are putting the final touches on
the form of their events, while the
distance men are working for in
creased speed. Six members of the
girls squad are learning to handle
&he discus and are practicing on the
running broad jump in addition to
the hurdles, high jumping and three
dash events to be competed in the
girls department of the meet.
Reports from several schools in
ldHate several stars on a number of
'teams which have not been heard of
in this section. At Fallon a star
jumper is reported. Elko claims
two pole vaulters who are doing
better than ten feet, and weight
men who are above the average.
If the speed of the basketball team
is any criterion, Tonopah may be
expected to uncover some good dash
and middle distance men. Lovelock
expects to score in several events
and with possible point winners
from smaller schools, the doping OF
the meet is matter of guess work
The limiting of the squads to ter
men means that schools where tracl
has been made an interesting sport
for the largest number possible will
be short-handed in some events. In
the case of Reno high only half as
many men will be permitted to com.
pete at Winnemucca as took part in
other meets.
The team will leave tomorrow
morning on the Western Pacific. Or
Saturday morning at 10 am. pre-.
liminary heats in the dashes will bt
run, the finals to be competed dur.
ing the afternoon program.
The track teams will be quartereo
in the Winnemucca school building.
and training table meals will bt
served by the Mothers club of the
city.

SATURDAY WILL Be
ONE Of BIC DAYS
Eleven Teams of Entrants Have
Been Designated for Participa-
ton in Athletic Events to
be Seen ON Saturday

More than one hundred young
athletes boys and girls, from eleven
Nevada high schools, will participate
in the athletic contests that will
form the program at Scott field
Saturday afternoon. Out of de-
ference to what will be Nevada's
biggest interscholastic contest all
business houses in this city will close
Saturday afternoon and Winnie
mucca marts will be stilled in favor
of athletic activities which will un-
doubtedly be witnessed by one of
the biggest crowds that ever gath
cred in northern Nevada.
Those behind the track meeting
entertain the hope that local store
patrons will shop early Saturday
and thus make it possible for places
of business to close promptly.
Up at Scott field bleacher seats
are being installed today that will
accommodate more than three hun
dred spectators and the track is
being wired off from the spaces
where the public will be maintained
in places where the events can be
seen to best advantage. A park
ing space is also being arranged
for automobiles from where an un-
restricted view of the athletic field
will be afforded.
Most of the visitors from out of
town will be cared for at the high
school, private houses, and at the
court house. Adequate prepara-
tions are being made to care for
the crowd and meals will be served
at the domestic science rooms in
the high school building. Enter
prising women of the town are ar
ranging to aid in providing cooked
foods and Winnemucca's role of
host is to be admirable discharged.
Prof. Scott has received advices
from j. G. Scrugham, state engineer
stating that he is arranging to be
present to take in the track meet
ing. 1t was at his instance that
the state interscholastic track meet
ings were started back in 1901
when he was member of the Me-
vada state university faculty.
Word has also reached this city
commendatory of athletic effort in
contemporaneous schools which is
taken to indicate that the meeting
is going to afford very close COM
petition. Some creditable perform
ances in tryoust have been re-
corded and it is now admitted that
every school is going to share in
the general score and it is difficult
at this time to forecast with any
degree of certainty the probable
winner of the meeting.

keep intelligently in touch with mat
tiers Of interest in most parts Of the

Of community life as no other med
ium does. They should be Of interest
not only to those Of the community
from which they are. written but TO
everyone in the county. They are
short stories filed with human in.

time when the metropolitan press
poked fundat the country paper for its
columns Of country news but today
they have adopted the same idea il d

cnApTER VI.

A most opportune lull followed,
when Harriet Field had time to collect
her thoughts. and get a true perspec-
tive upon the events OF the past week.
Nina was leaving for q visit to Amy
Hawkes., at the extremely dull and en-
tireiy safe Hawkes. mansion, where
four unmarried daughters constituted
a ch&peronage beyond all criticism,
Isabelle Garter was giving and attend
Ing the usual luncheOns and dinners,
her husband absorbed in an especially
important business deal that kept him
alternate nights In the city. The house
was Guiet, the domestic machinery
running smoothly, the weather hot,
suiphurcus and ,enervstlng.
She dined % usual alone, that v e
ning. and wa surprised, at about eight
o'clock. to receive the demure notIfca-
tion from Rosa that Mrs. Garter would
like to see her. with hardly an In
stant's delay she went downstairs.
On the terrace outside the drawing
room windows they were at . card ta-
bic: Richard, locking tired and hot In
