GET ACQUAINTED !
I. NTH TIL. LIBRARY
People Of This City Not Taking Full
Advantage of Library. Probably
Due to Lack of Understand-
ing Concerning Rules

That the people of this community
are not well acquainted with the ad-
yantages offered them by the IL
braray maintained by the Winnie
mucca Civic Club is indicated by
the fact that only "a people have
availed themselves of the privilege
Of borrowing one of the 1900 books
on its shelves.
The library is located in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms in the
Winneva building on Bridge street
and is open every forenoon and on
Wednesday and Thursday after
Moons There is no red tape to
wade through in order to borrow a
book. Just give the librarian your
name and address, look over the
books on the shelves, select the one
you want and pay the librarian five
cents.
You can keep tie book two weeks
if you wish or you can return it the
next day and get another. There
are no further charges of any kind
until you have borrowed and re-
turned total Of .24 books. Then
you pay the librarian another nickle
which entities you to borrow an
other "a books.
Recent fiction, classical literature,
technical and reference books and
some books for children are offered
to the public. Among them are
books by Stewart Edward White
Zane Gray, Mary Roberts Reinhart
Jack London, o. Henry, Harold Bell
Wright, Sir A. Conan Doyle, Kip
ling, Dumas, Balzac and many
others.
OF interest to mining men are
"Timbering and Mining" by w. H
Storms and "Cost of Mining" by
Finlay. Books on other industrial
subjects are in stock and others
are soon to be added. The chill
dren will also find many books they
will enjoy. One of the most unique
volumes in the library is "The
Young Visiters," written by little
girl only nine years Of age-Daisy
Ashford.
The library was created and is
maintained for the use of the pub
lie. The more people it is able tc
serve the greater its value will bs
to the community.

T FREIGHT RATES on
COAL ARE LOWERED
New Schedule to Go Into Effect
Within Next Ninety Days Will
Again Lower Coal Cost to
Extent of 36 Cents

Unless coal operators of Utah
and Wyoming decide that the cost
of coal production justifies an in
crease in price, Winnemuccans and
Nevadans may not be required to
pay as much to keep warm next
winter, because a decision Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
recently delivered at Washington,
orders a general reduction in coal
freight rates from Utah and Wyom-
ing to points in this state. In the
case of Winnemucca the rate will
be reduced 36 cents per ton---net
much, to be sure, but added to
other reductions makes it well worth
while during these days when
every little bit helps"
The new proposed rate would
make the freight on coal from Utah
or Wyoming to Winnemucca $4.96
lper ton, which compared with the
rate in effect in June 1921, of
$6.75, shows a total reduction dur
ing the last two years Of $3.50 per
ton--truly worth while. The rate
on coal in effect at the present time,
from the fields to Winnemucca, is
$5.31, while the new rate, to become
effective within ninety days from
June 16, 1929" calls for $4.96.
The recent decision is the ulti-
mate outcome of proceedings in
stituted about two years ago by the
Nevada Public Service Commission
against all railroads operating in
and through the state. The COM
plant was first filed by Chairman ].
F. Shaughnessy in the summer of
1921 and in it was alleged discrimi-
nation as well as unjust and un-
reasonable freight rates ON coal
from the fields of Wyoming and
Utah to Nevada points. Hearing
was had before the Interstate Com
merce Commission sitting in San
Francisco and in February, 1922,
a decision was handed down in
which an average reduction of ap-
proximately $1.50 per ton was
ordered. Not satisfied with this.
further effort resulted in the pro
ceedings known at western Coal
Rates, 1922" in which general
investigation was made and upon
which the most recent order d
based.
Taking Is representative points
as basis it amounts to an average
reduction of $500 per ton on the
grade of coal used for domestic
purposes. Corresponding reduction,
are made on "mine rum ana
"slack" generally used by manu-.
featuring industries.

ASKS DENTISTS TO WAR
ON OVEREATING HABIT

twentieth amendment to the Consti-
tuition to regulate eating as well
as drinking" DR.. Buckley stated.
''Liduor traffic ever has been the
curse of the ages, but gIuttony to-
day is claiming more victims. than
drunkenness ever did. 1t is the duty
of. the dentists to teach the people
how to eat"
Calling the attention of delegates
to the relation. between cancer, glutr,

turned to eradicating this plague.
Carefully made estimates justify the
assertion that one man out Of every

eight past the age of forty VIII sue
cumb to some form of malignant
neoplasms, he said. Since many of
these growths occur on the lips,
cheeks, tongue and Jaws a knowledge
of pre-cancerous LESSONS in and about
the mouth is of the utmost impor
tance to every praeticing. dentist, he
continued.
