MOONSHINERS BUILDING
MANY ROADS IN NEVADA

The moonshiners in Nevada are
considered a constructive element
In that they have built roads
throughout the state. They also are
considered to have many faults, il
Is conceded, and this road building
may be the one point in their favor
As 1t Is said, there is good in the
worst of men, and so with the
moonshiner; he has his good point
which is road building. r. S. Will
bur returned last night from trip
through the eastern part of the
state, where he says he found some
of the "real old American stock. v
In one town a young man came in
with a broken down Dodge car. He
explained to a friend that he
wanted to take his grandmother tc
the circus in Ely, as she had never
seen a circus, and he asked the
friend to lend him Ford car. The
friend was willing, and then the
young man, pulling two quarts OF
moonshine from his car, said, Let:
have a shot" Everyone had one
but the young man and when II
came his turn he said, mo, grand

times as they went along and al

man said: "You know a few years
ago we had no roads IN this par
Of the state, but since prohibition
we have roads all through it."

EUREKA RAILROAD
REPORTED SOLD

That the Eureka-Nevada Railroad
Company, operating between Eureka
and Palisade, has been sold to a
Detroit syndicate of which Henry
Ford is a member, was the an
nouncement made by ]. E. Sexton,
acting president and manager of
the road in San Francisco, says the
Gazette.
San Francisco papers stated that
the road, as reported there, was pur-
chased for $4,000 from Ogdon
Mills and the George Whittell es-
tate heirs by the same syndicate
that was reported several months
ago to have bought the Eureka
Croesus Mining Company's property.
Three years ago it was reported
that Eugene Davis had taken an
option on the raod at the time he
was promoting the Eureka mining
properties.
According to statements made by
Mr.. Sexton in San Francisco and
carried in an Associated Press dis
patch, the transaction for the sale
of the railroad will not be COM
pleted for some time. The Nevada
public service commission has re-
ceived no application for permission
to sell the road.
George Whitten, president of the
road for several years and one of
its principal stockholders, died sew
eral weeks ago in San Francisco.
The Eureka Nevada Railroad is
ninety-two miles long and is the
only railroad into Eureka.
For many years Mr.. Sexton and
the railroad have been engaged in
controversies with the public SER
vice commission and even the fed
eral government over rates and SER
vice. 1t was not long ago that Mr..
Sexton informed the postoffice de-
partment that he would not carry
mail any more unless the pay was
raised and he carried on a campaign
to have Eureka merchants use ex-
press instead Of parcel post.-Elko

The Mortgage Loans Association

resolution against the Denison Blue

it discriminates unfairly against

make proper representations ri
Washington. The free flow of CAPT.

of farms has promoted trade be-

Talking with a busy housewife
and mother the other evening, we
raised the question as to what
makes for happiness in the home.
"Oh, there are very many little
rocks in the matrimonial stream
upon which the frail bark may go
to pieces" she answered with a
smile. "But if l were to specify
one particular stone upon which
there are the greatest number of
wrecks l would say lack of pune
tuality.'"
Punctuality is one of the greatest
essentials in the home life. When
members of the family are late to
meals they upset the whole system
upon which the home runs, and
work a great hardship on the chief
engineer in the kitchen. On the
other hand, if breakfast is late, all
the family are out of gear for the
day. A bad getaway from the
breakfast table means a late arrival
at the days job and nearly always
a crouch, and that brings on indi-
gestion and everything goes wrong
all day. Is it any wonder, when
nervous excitement has developed
before you have had chance to
pull yourself together and face the
days work calmly and normally?
Late to meals brings nagging,
grumbling, temper and tears, in
stead Of smiles and happy recitals
of the days activities.
The woman's habit of punctuality
has much to do with the happiness
of the home, and she is entitled to
the same consideration from the rest
of the family.
Let US all get to our meals on
time, and see how much more
smoothly the home machinery runs.

sentiment fostered by the afore-
mentioned old ladies and gentlemen.
In day of old, we had the gaspipe
cannon and the blacksmith's anvil
to wake the old sleepyheads long
before daylight and we let the eagle
scream and the cannon roar
throughout the day. Some kids
were careless and got finger blown
off, but the great majority of US
came through safely, aside from a
few burns from back-fire 'fizzers."
But this age Of curtailed liberty
necessitated the denaturing Of the
explosive along with other things,
and in most places now you can't
buy anything noisier than a one
lunger firecracker, and as for the
torpedoes-they're a bigger dis
appointment than the cantaloupe.

If you are in doubt regarding
the proper conduct of yourself
while attending the theatre movie
or others), we herewith give a few
rules for novices:
Take a hairpin out of your hair
and scratch your head for two OF
three minutes at a time.
If your feet prespire profusely
take off your slippers and slide
them into the row ahead.
If the play is to serious, neu-
tralize the effects by making silly
remarks and giggle. Don't think OF
leaving the theatre just because
you do not understand it or appre-
ciate it. 1t is none Of your affair
If your neighbors should like to
give their attention to the play.
Take possession of the seat arms
on both sides of you-and keep
them, even though you do not see
the play.
If songs with which you are ia
miliar are played, hum them loudly,
thus showing the people that you
are musical and up to the times
When leaving the theatre, don't
turn up the seat of your chair. Let
the person following you stumble
over it. This will serve to amuse
those around you.
