Use Your Head.

What's the use Of waiting until the
annual ARMY OF chinch bugs starts its
march from the wheat fields to the
corn fields to begin fighting this
pest? Is there any logical reason, for
this delay, except neglect? If it is
nothing more than neglect, what
right has the man whose corn is
eaten up by the bugs to complain OF
this loss? Any tanner who ambles
afong in the path of least resistance
may make fair living, but the man
who possesses foresight and has the
energy to put his judgment into &C
ton is the exceptional farmer in the
community. 1t is this man who owns
tie comfortable home, plenty OF farm
ing equipment, the good automobile
aud the other necessities and ln%uries
which We all crave.
Of course, the entire crop OF chinch
bugs cannot be destroyed by burning
oil fence rows, waste places, etc, dur
ing the winter, but enough can be
accomplished by this simple precau-
ton to reduce loss from chinch bugs
dcpredations actually hundreds OF
thousands of dollars annually. One
cilinch bug destroyed row means one
brood less to iced on the wheat crop.
and 80 200 broods less to feed on the
corn crop. There are approximately
200 bugs in each brood so each bug
destroyed now means about 10000
less to feed oil your corn crop. Fig
are it out for yourself. Why wait un-
I'll the chinch bugs are present IN mil
Ions? Burn your fence rows and
waste places now.--County Farm

Tells Republican Callers He Has No
More Suggestions to Make.

Washington, March 2o.-Presiden'
Harding Monday refused to make any
new recommendations that might lead
Republican house leaders out Of the
soldier bonus tangle
In conference with house leaders
lasting nearly two hours, the president
said i'll view OF his previous state
ments he had nc further suggestions
to offer and that full responsibility
for any future action must rest with
congress.
Thus the bonus was shunted back
On the shoulders.of congress.
After the conference Republican
Leader Mondell indicated the presi-
dent did not object very strennuously
to the new bill.
A statement for the press was
framed in the conference and was is
sued by Representative Mondell. 1t
reads:

10 the president, with detailed explain
alton of the provisions which remove

The president went over the entire
situation with an appraisal of commit
n;ents made. He advised the commit
tee that the legislation is responsible
ity of congress, and in view of ex-
rressions, previously made, he did not
think it essential to offer any recon-

The Prolongation Of Life.

NOtUlHUla, MO.-NVc arc aCSuS-
toned to regard the span OF huyla',
life as three score years and ten, and
the Bible intimatcs that when by rca-
son Of strength it is prolonged to four
score years not much pleasure is de-
rived from the added years, according
to DR.. NJ. P. .Ravenel of the School
OF Medicine OF the University OF Mis-
souri,, president of the American Pub
lie Health Association. In another
part of the Bible we read that Moses
lived to be one hundred and twenty
years old, and apparently he died III

eye was not dimmed. neither was his
natural force abated." Can VIC not
therefore reasonably look forward to
extending the span Of life and liking
one hundred years as the goal! IN
1855 when the life tables for Massa-
chusetts were prepared. the expccta-
ton of life was only trifle over for
ty years. In 1910, the expectation OF
lie iof the two-tIlrds of the United
States in which we have registration
was 81 I-2 years. This means that
the span OF life i'll the United States
has been heightened at the rate of APP
proximatcly ~ years per century.
The annual death rate III the Unit
ed States is 100000. Even with our
present knowledge, at least 40 per
cent OF these deaths arc avoidablc and
preventable, which means that we are
losing unnecessarily $4,000 lives
each year, which could have been
saved ii we had general education.

know should be done in the saving OF

These years would be added to the
span of life with the elimination OF

The American people are notorious
for their disregard OF life, and the
number of unnecessary accidents
which occur from automobiles, OH
railroads, by drowning and other mis-
haps, is tremendous. All OF these are
preventable and if prevented will add
to the span Of life. rt

AnnuaI Reno Rodeo
September to 2 to 4

The annual Nevada roundup, which
will be held at Reno September 2,
and 4. promises to surpass any event
of like nature ever before presented
in the history of the state.
Plans are already formulating. nm
der the direction of those whom the
Chamber OF Commerce have placed in
charge and by which it is confidently
expected to make this the most popu-
, lar rodeo thus far arranged by the
Reno association.
One of the objects which the com
mittee has in view is making the ro-
deo this year more a strictly Nevada
and eastern California affair in re.
speet to composition. The plan is to
curtail. and probably entirely elimi-
nate, the importation OF professional
riders and horses from other sections.
This inaugurates an endeavor to de-
yelop the talent of the Immediately
contingent region. in the belief that
IL can be placed on even competition
with any section in the country for
rodeo achievement.
Another feature of the celebration
will be the night show. which will be
a combination of Coney island and
the pioneer days of Nevada revived.
II Is understood that the rodeo COM
mittee and labor authorities are CO.
operating in making Labor Day fes-
|tivities, both at the track and in town,
the biggest gala day in Nevada's his
tory.

FORMER ELY MEN IN
CAMP OF ARGEMT|TE

Harry Damn, former Ely resident .
now located at the new camp of Ar
gentle. which is about sixty miles
west of Golifeld. has leen visiting in
Ely during the week.
Harry is enthusiastic over the new
camp, where he says the showing
made on the properties that have been
developed to any extent is enccur-
aging.
On one property Mr. Damn says
that at a depth of 2e0 feet the op-
orators have sixty-foo. vein which
averages about eighteen ounces in
silver
A British syndicate recently paid
s50.000 for one of the properties.
while Wildorf Watterson. promi-
nent banker of Inyou county, Cali
fornia. is heavily interested in mines
throughout the Argentite district rs
well as the townsite near the mining
properties.
Fred Inman. former Ely man, has
a promising property which is owned
jointly by himself and two brothers.
Offers have been made for the ground
but the Inman brothers demands are
exceptionally high, according to Mr..
Damn, who is Of the opinion that ony
improvement in the general condi-
tions Of the country cannot fail to
make Argentite a prominent mining
center.
The promising mines are now
about thirty miles by the main tray-
eled road from Silver peak, in Esmer-
aida county, but the county commits
sioners are said to have under con-
sideration the construction of a new
road by which the distance may be
shortened to make IL about eleven
miles and ore now being taken out by
leasers may be taken to the mill al
Silver Peak.
