REWARD OFFERED
FOR SPIRIT WORD

PORTLAND, Ore.-Putting spir-
itualists to the test, DR.. J. Allen
Gilbert. Portland physician OF high
standing. has placed $500 in a local
bank, offering it to any one VINO
can bring to him an authentic mes
sage from his deceased wife.
DR.. Gilbert and his wife were
both much interested in psychic
phenomena, but were not Delivers
in the occult. And they agreed be-
fore her death that she should try
to transmit a message to her hus-
band after passing over the Divide
But in order that the doctor might
be certain if his dead wife had sent
a message to him, they agreed upon
a certain countersign. This pass
word is now kept under seal in the
bank which is holding the $500
"test" money, which will be given
to anyone who can obtain it through
communication with the spirit OF
Mrs. Gilbert.
DIR. Gilbert, who is recognized al
an authority on amnesia, dual per-
sonality and scientific hypotism al
applied to the medical practice, de
clared that he and his wife had sew
eral friends who were very earnest
in their faith in spiritualism, ane
that they have brought to him sew
eral purported messages from Mrs
Gilbert, who died in December
1917. But none contained the pre-
arranged countersign. Their friends
having failed, DR.. Gilbert decided
to offer a reward of $500 to an.
spiritualist in the world who car
bring to him a message from hi
departed wife which contains th'
secrete code.
In making his announcement o.
the reward and the test, DIR. Gilber
deplored the effect of the wave o.
spiritulastic thought caused by ths
lectures of Sir Arthur Conan Doyl'
and others.

RAD|OPHONE DANCE
IS PLAN OF SPARKS

An innovation in dance music
will be furnished by the Sparks
high school on the evening of July
d, when the fox-trots, one-steps and
waltzs well be danced to music
furnished by an orchestra in Reno
and transmitted TO Robison's hall
by radiophone.
The big receiving set at the high
school will be set up in the hall and
the transmitting set, now being
erected by Beedle and Corano in
Reno, will be used to send out the
music.
Because of the static condition
that exists during the summer, it
is almost impossible to receive music
from coast stations, it is said by
radio operators.
The receiving set at the high
school in Sparks is one of the fin
est obtainable, with an immense
aerial, which was donated to the
school by the Reno Power, Light
and Water Company, while the Pro-
gressive Business Club of Sparks
donated part Of the funds for the
set.

WHEN WE
REJOICE

Thomas A. Edison seems to have
acquired a hobby of late years.
When he is not otherwise engaged
he seems to devote his time to
making out questionnaires. And as
is natural with readers of hobbies
the Wizard of Menlo Park marks
all sorts of claims as to the merits
of these questionnaires. They are
supposed to single out from any
number of applicants for any po-
sition the one individual especially
fitted for it.
As might be expected, whenever
he rides in public, this hobby draws
fire from educators and other per-
sons interested in ascertaining what
people carry about with them in
their Uranium. They maintain that
Mr.. Edison's questions mean moth
ing; that they are useless for the
purpose to which he would put
them; and that the ability to answer
them implies neither superior in
telligence nor mental ability.
This is reassuring to those who
find the Edison questions difficult
to answer. 1t makes US feel good
to learn that what we don't know
isn't worth anything, anyway, and
when an educator tell US this, we
rejoice all the more.

TONOPAH DIVIDE
EARNS LARGE SUM

During the month of May the
Tonopah Divide Mining Company
shipped to the Belmont mill at
Tonopah, 1890 dry tons of ore hav-
ing gross value of S57 1928. After
deducting milling charges and
metallurgical losses the company
received $41,719. The gross value
of the ore was fraction of cent
below $34.10 per ton. Secretary
E. ]. Erickson reports that the
crosscut from the new station
on the .1400-foot level had advanced
on Tuesday 10 feet toward the
main silver vein. On the 1900 level
drift from the west crosscut has
been following a stringer of ore
about six inches wide and averag-
ing $35 per ton. The April output
of the Divide mine was 1864 tons,
yielding a slightly higher net re-
turn to the company.

HERE'S THE
ANSWER

Not long ago we argued through
these columns that it would be only
fitting and proper for churches in
towns like Winnemucca to adver-
tise. We are glad to note in a dis
patch to daily newspapers that Rev,
J. ]. Tisdall, pastor of one of the
biggest Methodist churches in
Columbus, Ohio, is Of the same
opinion. He gives five reasons why
every church should advertise in
the columns Of daily and tri-weekly
papers. Here are the reasons-and
mighty strong argument they
present:
They would prove that they
have faith in their business.
2.-They would show that they
believe they have something the
world needs.
3.-They would reach people in
all their homes.
4.--They would have the benefit
of constent reminder to the
readers of what religion has to
offer.
5.-It pays anybody to advertise
when truth prevails in all his &C.
tions.

SHE'S THE
UNIVERSAL CHOICE

The request from somebody in
England for lists of the IL "great-
est living American women" will no
doubt bring many responses. 1t
ought not to be difficult to prepare
any number of long lists of this
kind, although it may not be SO
easy to single out IL of our most
eminent women.
In this list will include the names
of women educators and of women
in social work. There will be per-
sons who will maintain that al
though woman has only recently en-
tered the political arena, at least
one Of the IL women so named
ought to be selected from among
those who have won distinction in
politics. Among the women who
have literary honors in America it
ought to be easy enough to find
someone entitled to the distinction
of being one of the IL greatest
living American women.
But even when with the utmost
care this list has been compiled,
there will be many of US far from
satisfied. For when most of us
think Of what constitutes greatness
in women, we do not think of any
characteristic which wins easily the
applause of the multitude. The
kind of woman whom most Of us
consider as deserving of the dis
tinction which it would bring her
to have her name on this list, is
just the very one who would not
be thought of by those who make
up this list.
It is impossible not to associate
greatness in women with wife-and
motherhood. If you were to ask
10000 individuals to make up a
list of this kind, would not all but
merest handful of persons head the
list with the words: Mother" or
"Wife"? Could anything persuade
US that even the most brilliant
career on the stage, in literature,
or in public life could entitle any
othAr woman to take precedence
of Mother" at the head of this
list?
There isn't any doubt that many
such lists will be prepared. And
when these have been thoroughly
gone over, we shall all agree that
the women so selected are entitled
to all the renown this will bring
them. But it admits of no con-
tradiction to say that every
mothers son of us will want to
put his mothers name at the head
of the column, despite the fact
that she may never have made
speech or even carried a banner.
She's the universal choice.

BAD TAXATION
METHODS

Killing the goose that laid the
golden egg has long been cited as
an example of bad business policy.
Congress is having its attention
called to some war taxes that are
having about that effect.
Several administrations ago the
postoffice department got the am
bition to be self-supporting. This
in itself was not a bad idea SO long
as it could be applied without
Gripping the service. But during
the Wilson administration, when
hunting sources of revenue was not
the least of the functions of govern
ment, the attempt was made to
make the postal goose lay more
than one egg a day. The rates on
second-class nail, particularly,
seemed easy picking; they were
boosted four times resulting in an
increase of nearly 900 per cent in
some cases.
This extraordinary taxation yield
ed revenue directly, but it was
found to have an unfortunate kick
back. The big end of the postal
receipts comes from first-class mail
Letter postage also increased, but
it was found that the discourage
ment of second-class matter soon had
its effect upon the volume of letters
When the letters stopped moving
the profits of the post office de.
partment fell off. The goose that
laid the golden egg was being
choked to death.
Representative N. Clyde Kelly, Of
Pennsylvania, has introduced a bill
to repeal the last two of the in
creases in second-class postal rates
He says that even his measure will
yield the government It's per cent
more than was produced by the pre-
war rates. The effort, therefore
is not to relieve publishers of the
burden of war taxes, but rather
to adjust the postal rates to yield
the greater volume of revenue con-
sistant with good postal service.
The services Of the postoffice are
SO important to the social and
economic welfare Of the country

WISCONSIN NO
PRECEDENT

Ambassador Ricci cites President
Wilson's interference in the Fiume
incident as a precedent for his own
discussions of American domestic
policies. Mr.. Ricci can hardly
justify himself on that ground. 1t
is true that the former President
took an unwarranted part in Italy's
affairs, but he was not representing
the American people when he did
so. At the very first opportunity
he was recalled by an unprece-
dented plurality of votes. We like
to think that the Italian Ambas-
sador, likewise, does not correctly
interpret the wishes of his people
when he interferes in American af-
fairs.

that they should not be interfered
with for the sake of making money
for the government. There are
other forms of taxation less detri-
mental.

Highway Construction
Every community is proud of
good highways. They are the most
essential things to mercantile pros
perity, agricultural economy, eff
ficient transportation and travel.
The cost of vehicle breakage, horse
or gas power speed of highway
movements, and the increased bust
ness make highways an economic
necessity. Every one should fight
for good highways, but why con-
struct them out of dust and sand
with political incompetency, if not
righteousness?
A short time ago / was riding
with a prominent railroad construc-
ton engineer along a stretch of
highway that had been constructed
by political influence as bride to
laboring men for their votes at the
next election. The work was the
worst / ever saw, and the road was
almost impossible. l remarked
"There is a sample of the $4,000 a
mile highway built by political en-
gineers."
"Isn't it shame. It could have
been built, and built right for less
than $1,000 a mile by real en-
gineers," he replied.

There was no pronounced opposition

This measure simply provides, he
said, for a commission which will put

INITIATIVE.

The world bestows its big prizes, both in money and honors,
for but one thing.
And that is Initiative.
What is Initiative?
I'll tell you: 1t is doing the right thing without being told.
But next to doing the thing without being told is to do 1t
when you are told once. That is to say, carry the Message to
Garcia those who can carry a message get high honors, but their
pay is not always in proportion. Next, there are those who never
do a thing until they are told twice; such get no honors and
small pay.
Next, there are those who do the right thing only when neces-
sty kicks them from behind, and these get indifference instead OF
honors, and a pittance for pay This kind spends most OF its time
polishing a bench with a hardluck story.
Then, still lower down in the scale than this, we have the tel
low who will not do the right thing even when some one goes
along to show him how and stays to see that he does it; he is
always out Of a job, and receives the contempt he deserves, unless
he happens to have a rich Pa, in which case Destiny patiently
awaits around the corner with a stuffed club.
