The bal cony was almost destroyed. and water poured on the blaze flooded parts of the old auditorium. once a nightly gathering place fer Manhat- tan theatregoers.
 Miners theatre, 30 years ago, was one of a group whose fame was not bounded by city limits.
 When sand dancers" were in vogue and the cakewalk was con sidered quite snappy. such perform CTS as the Roger brothers, Weber and Fields, and Hines and Reming- ton, captured audiences when their wares went over the comparatively dismal lights of three decades ago.
 The four cohans played there, old timers recall and among them George M., of all the quartet the best known today Pat Rooney soft-shoed his way over the boards of Miners, and William MuldoGn on Friday nights. ran athletic exhibitions in the same house.
 Of late the theatre had been given over to italian vaudeville and motion pictures. In dollars. the loss was listed at 10000.

UNDERWOOD SAYS HE WILL RETIRE AS
 LEADER IN SENATE
Poor Health Is Ascribed as Cause by Party Leader as He Leaves For
 Needed Rest

Senator oscar W. Underwood has advised his friends in Birmingham and yesterday consented to formal announcement of the fact that he will not be candidate for leadership of the democratic minority in the sen ate after March 1.
 The condition of his health is given as the reason and he feels that in justice to both himself and the party he should retire from the post cf responsibility.
 T do not want my friends to feel any unnecessary alarm about my health" said Senator Underwood, but l have been under tremendous strain during the past year. My health has not been of the best. The position Of leadership requires such constant attendance that l feel in duty to the party that 1 should not offer for reelection.
 "The recent bronchial attack which came upon me shortly after reaching home has now modified so much that 1 am able to be up and around but the doctors think l should get away for while. l am accordingly leaving for Pass Christian for a week or ten days"
 
 will not. be surprised that he has decided not to be candidate for ledership after March A. They have known that the bronchitis to which he was subject has placed upon him an undue strain since he insisted on performing the full tasks required of party leader. which necessitated practically constant attendance at Senate sessions.
 The development will be a disap- pointment to party members of the Senate for there is mo question but that the leadership would be given him again if he were willing to un- dertake it. His present term as lead CT will not expire untif March 4 and he will continue to fill the post until that time.
 His term as Senator from Alabama has four years to run from next March.
 MT. Underwood took the night train last night for Pass Christian where he hopes to get complete rest for the next week CT ten days.

Reports Many Cases
of Rabies Recently
Utmost Precaution Should be Taken
With Dogs Says l.. Il. Cline;
Explains Symptoms

A rabid animal was reported on
Saltwater avenue at the home of
Hugh Wilson, Thursday evening.
The dog was destroyed and the head
sent to the veterinary department at
the University at Reno, Friday
morning. Word was received in a
few hours that the dog had been
rabid, according to a statement by
L. E. Cline.
Cline.
The article follows:
This dog had the freedom of the
town up to the time he was killed.
There is great danger that other
animals have been affected by him.
A second suspicious case was report
ed Sunday from Mr.. Sagouspi's
ranch on Old River. This dog has
bitten other dogs and snapped at
the children. The children, how
ever, are not supposed to have been
infected. The head was sent to
Reno for examination.
1t has since been announced that
the dog was rabid. Every precau-
tion should be taken where dogs
are kept. Upon the slightest sus-
picion, the animal should be chain
ed, Gagged or destroyed. They may
not appear vicious at home under
customary environment, but they
are inclined to leave home, and up
on getting with other dogs and un-
der excitement they readily become
vicious and attack anything with
which the come in contact.
Because of interest shown by me
in the rabies outbreak, there seems
to be an impression that have
some official responsibility in the
matter. This is not the case, how
ever Realizing the danger that
may come to persons uniformed on
the subject. am only doing what
can in the capacity of a layman to
safeguard the public and facilitate
the work of the state laboratory a,
Reno, with which l cooperate, in its
effort to serve the people in this i'm
portant work.

realize thoroughly how much the
growers appreciate a deal of this
kind. 1t really is the only way a
farmer can farm successfully. To
trust their products in the hands of
commission houses is a thing of the
past. Never can keep the market
steady that way. Make them pay
cash for everything and they will
always keep the market in fair to
good shape. Markets will never be
glutted. Each market will only
levy what they can SELL / will be
glad to meet you and the farmers
and talk the matter over. If you
will come up here l will certainly
try to make it pleasant for you any
time, but always notify a few days

larger cities quite often. If you
can't come up here l will go down
to Fallon most any time after the
weather and roads are better Will
be glad to hear from you any time.

day Celebration
LIBERTY, EQUALITY, JUSTICE
AND HUMANITY ARE HIGHEST
Interesting Program Prepared for
Public Affair In High School
Auditorium

Americas leading ideals are lib
erty, equality, justice and human
ity," is the statement of DR.. Walter
E. Clark, president of the Universi-
ty of Nevada, in his speech at the
Washington's birthday program at
the high school this evening. as Civ
en- in a synopsis of the talk pre-
pared at the request of the Stand
ard.
The synopsis is as follows:
Americas leading ideals are lib
erty. equality, justice and humanity.
While all of these ideals are in evil
dence at all stages of our Nation S
history, from early Colonial days to
the present, the emphasis has varied
from period to period. In Colonial.
revolutionary, and Nation-forma-
tion periods the emphasis was upon
the ideal of liberty. George Wash
ington is the heroic personification
of the leading ideal of this period,
For the subsequent period up to
1875, the emphasis was upon the
equality ideal, with Lincoln as its
heroic personification. For the next
generation the new emphasis was
upon the new ideal of justice, with
Roosevelt the heroic personification.
For the latter days the new empha-
sis has been upon the ideal of hui
manity with Woodrow Wilson the
likely figure to be chosen in long
range history as the personifier of
this new ideal.
If living Americans will treasure
these four ideals and individually
and collectively act in measurable
accord with them, both in their in
ternal and international relations,
the United States of America will
prove worthy of that leadership op-
portunity which Providence is Of
fering to our Nation at this time.
Other numbers on the program
are: song, America" by the audi
ence; "Our First President,

Forms Sewing Clubs
in Two Communities
Girls of Harmon and Northam Dis
tricts to be Given Instructions
BY Local Women

Two clothing clubs for girls were
organized in the Northam and Har-
mon districts by Miss Leah Barker.
state club leader, under the exten-
sion department of the University of
Nevada, during her visit to Fallon
last Friday and Saturday.
These clubs are the continuation
of work of the same character con-
Quoted last year and even previous
to that time and are for the pur-
pose of giving rural girls in these
communities the opportunity for
sewing work under supervision. ="
said Miss Barker.
Prior to this year the work has
been handled by extension agents
with Miss Conant in Churchill
county" she continued. This year
no one has been provided for the
sity of dropping the club work, un-
less local help could be secured.
Both communities, Harmon and
Northam were greatly interested and
local women have agreed to take
charge of these groups. The girls
of the Northam community will
have Mrs. E. t. Morgan as local
leader and Mrs. Charles Glazier and
Mrs Hughes are to act as local
leaders of the Harmon girls.
According to Miss Barker, the
women will take entire charge of
clothing work and will meet week
ly or bi-weekly with the club mem
bers. At the meetings, sewing work
will be taken up. THE response of
these women to this work, speaks
well of their interest in the young
people of their communities" is the
opinion of the club leader.
The Harmony club of Harmon
have offered to cooperate with the
local leaders of their community
and will be able to be of consider
able assistance in making the club
a success, Miss Barker announced.

Indications Point to Satisfactory Market for all
Cantaloupes Grown in Lahontan Valley During Year
BY A. ]. Reed County Agricultural Agent


Quoting from their letter, we take
the following:
of markets are such that 1t is almost
impossible to sell before arrival of
cars, and in this case it is often nee
essary to place melons on the street
ON a consignment basis. This, how
ever, is not often the case. We were
wondering what it cost the growers
per crate to produce, pack, and load
their cantaloupes in your section
last year 1t might be that they
would be better satisfied In shipping
to this market If they were guaran-
teed a certain minimum price per
crate, they, of course to receive the
full market value, or the price at
which their melons sold, but to have
the additional guarantee as securi-
ty. We just make mention of this,
your growers. We would be glad
to hear from you, and we trust that
we may have your favorable consid
Grafton"
A letter from a Arm of good con-
nections in Cleveland, Ohio, offers
the following:
Il acknowledge receipt of your
letter of the 10th. To my knowledge
this market has never purchased
western cantaloupes on an t. o. b.
basis However, one can never tell
what another season will bring
forth. We want to keep in close
touch with you, and feel confident
that we will be able to do consider
able business with you this season."
Another letter received reads as
follows:
II have read your letter in re-
gard to Fallon cantaloupes with
much interest, and wish to state
that | am closely connected with the
largest and best houses in the east
ern markets and also in San Fran
cisco. | have given the Fallon mel

am thoroughly convinced there has
never been a melon grown that can
