years subscription to The Youths
Companion you think, of course, of the
first great thrill that comes when those
first holiday issues are opened and read.

two more thrills before the capacities
of the gift are exhausted. You can't
do that with any gift that is made for
immediate consumption, like candy or
fruit. Today it is here; tomorrow it is
but memory. But The Companion is
imperishable. Its last taste, year
from now. will be as appetizing as the
first on this coming Christmas day.
You cannot put your money to better
use or advantage in Christmas giving
than in subscription to The Youths
Companion.

with serial stories. short stories, ed
itorals, poetry, facts and fun. Sub

Proper Housing Prevents ImpIe.
ment Depreciation,

There are two kinds of implemer
depreciation. Namely, depreciation
due to wear when in use and deprecia-
tion due to rot and rust when not in USE
Manufactures of high grade impe-
ments are continually striving to i'm
prove their products by putting better
material and better workmanship into
the machinery, which lessons wear.
With these advantages supplemented
with intelligent use and care of the
operator, this form of depreciation can
be kept to the minimum. The greatest
depreciation, however, is the result of
rot and rust, which takes place when
implements are left standing in fence
corners or in fields exposed to the
elements such as moisture, freezing,
thawing and hot sun. The wooden
parts will crack and warp out of shape
while the metal will be destroyed by
rust. AS result much labor is lost
in getting the machinery ready the fol-
lowing season and besides they will
never work as well as they did when
they were new.
The best method of preventing this
sort of depreciation is by the proper
housing of machinery. The implement
shed should not be made expensive, but
should be made with tight roof either
enclosed on all sides or open on one
side. AS soon as the implements ale
ready to store for the season they
should be gone over, bolts tightened
and memorandum made of the parts
broken and any other necessary re-
pairs. Shovels and shears should be
removed and sharpened. This work
can be done during the winter months
when work on the farm is not pressing.
The implements will then be ready for
use when needed the following season.

MANY VOTERS CUT FROM
LIST IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY

Figures recently completed by
County Clerk J. w. Davey and his
deputy, Mrs. S. R. Gingery, show
a rather amazing condition in this
county as applied to the number of
people who failed to vote at the
last general election, held in No
vember, 1922. Under the law of
this state it is the duty of the clerk
to remove all cards from the regis
tration list Of people who fail to
vote at a general election and the
work just completed in that respect
shows loss of registered voters in
his county of Ais names. Assum-
ing that not all of these Alb people
have left the county or-died during
the two-year period, it is reasonable
70 suppose that many merely me-
elected to exercise their right of
franchise, and for, that reason will
ose their vote at the next election
unless they re-register. II even a
small portion of this number of peo-
pie had cast their ballots at the last
election the official makeup Of Off
GERS Of this county might have been
to a large extent changed. The
list Of cancelled registration cards,
segregated in precincts, shows that
The following number of names
have been removed from the list:

STUDENTS TYPING
PRIZE CONTEST

The Humboldt County High
School has two students Of tipping
who are especially efficient, these
being Eula Holloway and Frances
Stuart, both of whom have won the
first, second and third awards of
the Remington Typewriter Com
pany, consisting of a certificate of
proficiency, a card case and certi-
ficate, and gold medals. The gold
medals are the third awards for
proficiency and are secured by writ
ing at least 55 words per minute
for ten minutes with not more than
five errors.
Yesterday the two young ladies
tried for the highest student prize
given by the Remington company
and had they been successful they
each would have been awarded a
Remington portable typewriter. To
win the portables the students would
have had to write sixty words per
minute for ten minutes without a
single error, surely difficult task.
In the contest held yesterday,
timed by w. H. Ayres of The
Silver State, Remington Typewriter
Company representative in Hum
boldt county, and conducted by
Miss Rucker, tipping and shorthand
instructor, Miss Holloway made the
enviable score of 667 words dur
ing the ten-minute period, but was
unfortunate in making one error.
Miss Stuart wrote 668 words during
the ten minutes, but made five err
rors. Copy was used which the
students had not had opportunity
to see before the contest started,
and consequently they were un-
familiar with the text.
The two students will try again
for the prize in a contest to be
conducted in May.
