Two Men
The other day we passed a build
ing in the course of construction
and stopped for a time to watch
the carpenters at their work.
We noticed in particular one fell
low whose every move was an eff
fort. He handled his tools and the
pieces Of wood in listless manner,
and several times we saw (even
with inexperienced eyes) that he
had made errors of judgment, max
ing 1t necessary for him to do his
work over. Once he stopped and
wiped the perspiration from his
glistening face.
Pretty warm work." we re-
marked.
This was all he needed. He be-
gan cursing the weather, his en-
ployer. the government, in fact al
most everything under the sun came
in for a drubbing, and he concluded

Shall We Smile


A few days ago, one of our sub
scribers complained about certain
article appearing in the paper, writ
ten with the intent to bring a smile,
saying that he thought we could
improve the paper by printing some
thing worth while in its place.
Naturally, he made us uncom-
fortable-for the moment.
But before we took the full
count, we got to our feet, as it
were, and asked our good friend if
he didn't believe in smiling.
"Oh, yes" he replied, 81 like in
nocent fun, occasionally, but l be-
lieve one could improve ones time
much more by reading something
substantial"
"But, look at the daily papers,"
we countered, "they devote entire
pages to comic cartoons and jokes. ;"
"And for that very reason,
never buy a daily" he uppercutted.
At this moment, an advertiser
called US across the street to hand
US his copy" and save US from
further punishment.
But we do not admit that we are
wrong-not yet.
We are going to slip a smile into
these columns every time the op-
portunity presents itself, knowing
full well that the reading of it
will help anybody gain the top
round Of the ladder that leads to
fame In their particular circle.
We are not operating under the
old Victorian code Of humorless
prudery.
Although we do not defend any
smutty stuff, we are not in sympa-
thy with those sanctimonious ones
who seem to think that if people
laugh and enjoy themselves, it is
sign Of national decadency.
So, all together-let's smile.

The Cry for Helm

The annual cry for help has gone
up from the hay fields, the corn
fields and the orchards. The har-
vest has been bountiful, the labor
ers scarce and hard to secure. The
Heavenly Father and the American
soil give US wealth. Graft and laz-
mess give US poverty. Whether
crops are large or small, whether
industrial conditions are good or
bad, there Is always difficulty in OBJ
tain as many men as the need
requires.
The thrifty farmer is grieved to
see his crops go to waste. He and
his family rise before dawn and
work by moonlight to save the
wealth Of the land. We hear his
cry. The harvest is great, the la
borers few. Yea, we hear the call
and the prayer, "Come over into
Macedonia and help u.s." We even
have vision of what might be.
Still, in the reeking cities of the
land, million men are idle-on
strike.

GRAZING GOOD IN
NATIONAL FORESTS

Grazing conditions in the forest
reserves of Nevada are in excellent
conditions says Will C. Barnes, chief
of grazing in the United States for
est service who is in Reno from
Washington d. c., on his annual
inspection tour. He was accom-
panied to Reno by J. w. Nelson,
chief of the San Francisco district,
says the Gazette.
Though not q native of Nevada
Mr.. Barnes spent the first years of
his life at Gold Hill going thither
with his parents when he was an
infant. His father was postmaster
at Gold Hill when that city was
second only to Virginia City as
the Invest town in Nevada and the
elder Barnes served as a member
of Nevada's first legislature, when
the state was admitted to the union.
The Renker land exchange bill,
which was passed by Congress sew
eral weeks ago, and which was dis
cussed at length by Nevada stock
men while it was in Congress, Is
working out in very satisfactory
manner, said Mr.. Barnes 1t is a
very broad bill, he says. and under
it the forest service has been able
to secure through exchange con-
siderable cut-over timber land that
will be rehabilitated under protec-
ton. For this cut-over land, tim
Der on forest land has been ex-
changed and in this way owners of
sawmills have been able to secure
timber while the forest service re-
tanned the land and secured more
land.
The bill did not contain a pro-
vision for reimbursing counties for
taxes that the counties might lose
by the exchange Of privately-owned
land for forest land. This was pro-
posed by Placer county and other
mountain counties of California.
Under the provisions Of the meas
ure 1t is not possible for the forest
service to exchange land in the
national forests for privately-owned
desert land out of the forest re-
serve. An effort was made to have
this provision included in the bill
but it was unsuccessful, he said.
Mr.. Barnes is a strong advocate
OF a bill that would give the forest
service charge Of federal owned
grazing land, Of which there is
about 55.000,000 acres in this state,
in cooperation with the state
whereby the forest service would
regulate the grazing on the land
while the state would receive the
net return on the fees paid for
grazing.
Such a measure, he says, would
force the payment Of a small fee for
grazing but would also make 1t pos
sible to regulate the ranges and
keep them from being depleted by
over-grazing, which is the case on
large part Of the public grazing
lands in this state. Nevada, Arizona
and New Mexico are the only states
in which there is much public graz
ing land and Nevada has about
half OF the public lands, he says.
Efforts are now being made to
exchange some forest lands for
lands near Bonner lake where q
public camp ground, under forest
service supervision, can be main
tanned.

'P|CKET|NG" NOT
STOPPED BY LAW

"Picketing," as such IL not q
violation Of any Nevada statute,
Governor Boyle was yesterday in
formed in an opinion by Robert
Richards, deputy encouragement.
However, certain acts generally as
ISOLATED with "picketing," are pro-
hibited by two sections of the laws
of this state, Richards declares.
One section deals with such acts as
threats. intimidation, interference /;
the other refers to coercion. II
either Of these offenses is committed
in "picketing" the law is trans
crossed. the legal official Of the
state declares.
The remedy on a state Of facts
showing that q crime has been COM
mitted in "picketing" may be either
Of the following two, criminal pro-
ceedings or through injunction.
Whenever anything is done affecting
the public. disturbing order. peace
or general welfare, it is the duty
of the state, Richards maintains, as
"parens patriae," to take such steps
as may be necessary to maintain
order, peace and general welfare.
Richards takes the stand that the
reported boarding of train 20 at
Las Vegas q few days ago, taking
several men, transporting
them in automobiles to Arden and
placing them on a train for Los
was clearly violative of the
provisions of the two sections of
the Nevada law referred to in his
opinion.-Carson News.

Ii This What We Miss

What is it that we have lost out
of our lives? What is it that has
taken SO much of the joy out of liv-
ing?
We have lost something out of
life; the old simple life, as many
of us knew it. Mere man has be-
come a sorrowful sort of animal
in these days of jazz and it is good
sometimes to get taste of the past.
At a surprise party, someone
had the temerity to dig up one of
those old song folios. Over in one
corner a girl sat down at the piano
and man leaning over her began
to sing "Juanita. It wasn't long
until the entire crowd had joined in
the singing and the home echoed
to the srtains of "My Old Ken
lucky Home" "Sweet Adaline," and
"Annie Laurie" And then a rich,
tenor voice reminded how dear to
his heart were the scenes of his
childhood, and all joined Justify in
singing, "Old Oaken Bucket" But
there wasn't Earring jazz note to
be heard.
The old songs, the sound of hap
py voices, the old love sentiments,
wholesome food well cooked, the
finer nobler thoughts and the sound
of real music made all just home
folks once more,
Isn't this what we miss? Those
simple, innocent pleasures that after
all, are the only real source of true
happiness.
The Joy Bells
The greatest chime bells today
are the bells on the cash registers
ringing in the new era of prosper
ity. Their glad tidings are that
the people are buying again-not
buying what they do not want, but
buying what the should have. These
are indeed the joy bells that herald
the better times. Do your part in
helping to keep these chimes ring
ing.

Survivors OF the crash OF the bridge,
which came suddenly at 2:3O o'clock
yesterday afternoon, while between
twenty and thirty persons were on the

Rev. II. w. knickerbocker, pastor of
the First Methodist church OF Marlin,
was among the men and women pre-
cipitated into the stream and swan Il
mile or more down the river before
being rescued. He was too exhausted

said they had no warning of danger
