CARDNERvILLE GIRL SAYS
THE BOYS ARE TOO SLOW
tGsrdnerville Recourd- -Courier)

{Gardnerville Recourd-Cour1er)
Dear Editor: The girls dared me
to write this and / dare you to
print it. I've heard that papers
don't print anonymous letters, but
when you read this you'll see why
| simply could not sign my name to
It without losing my goat. But for
the sake Of every marriagable girl
in this territory l think you should
print my letter. / sure have a kick
coming, and SO have lot Of other
girls who would make Al 1928
model wives. I am pretty well pro-
vided for myself and the gink that
can pry me loose and coax me to
tackle this "two can live as cheap
as one" business has got to go some.
Nix on the full buggy war cry for
mine-unless-well, you never can
tell.
have no COB Of gloom to work
of, but looking at it from q patri-
otic view point, l really think there
ought to be more marrying among
the young people Of Carson Valley
and vicinity. It's fine country
but 1t needs more people.
Now, l have had the same strong
arm around me tin my back aches,
and heard those same worn out
Sunday night hints about what
lonely life q single man lives till
know them by heart-words and
music. But you can always count
on a quick getaway when the ice
gets too thin. Nothing stirring in
the proposal business.
Oh, they are a cautious crowd,
these Carson Valley lads. A.. girl
| know freed one indiscreet biped
in pants who Judged over the dead
line and actually talked marriage.
Next night he was back with a tale
Of woe about the high cost of living
and the drudgery that threatens a
poor mans wife, etc., etc. One
night that same week we saw him
10y riding with some females that
he probably wouldn't speak to in
daylight. But there is a lot of raw
material around Carson Valley that
would make good husbands, and it
10 time that a marrying epidemic
struck this community good and
hard.
l can hear the highbrows and
prims gasp already at this imperti-
hence, but l am serious. l hate to
'ling slang this way, but l want the
bunch to "get me-" Look at the
wedding record. Pretty slim. Fewer
n 1928 than in 1922. On the Job.
boys! The girls will meet you half
way.
Respectfully yours,
"A MARRIAGABLE GIRL"

EXPECTS MIDAS To
Be A BOOM CAMP


Three months is the time limit
set by Jerry Coughlan, well known
Midas mining man, for years sup
erintendent of the Berry Bros. hold
ings at the camp and at the pres
ent time holding similar position
with the Red Hills Florence Mining
Company, SUCCESSORS in ownership,
before the camp will assume boom
proportions. This opinion he bases
upon observations and recent de-
velopments at the camp, a. well as
intense interest being manifested
by officials Of powerful mining
syndicates.
Midas (or Gold Circle, both be-
ing the same place) has long been
known as a mining camp Of ex-
treme merit, but for some reason,
probably because of its inaccessible
location, far away from the general
trend Of mining interest, It has
never attracted proper capital for
adequate development. Another rea-
son the camp has not gone forward
in accordance with its worth as a
producer Of wealth lies in the un-
reasonable demands, as character
lied by those who have Investigated
possibilities, of the men and women
who hold property there. It has
been said that claim owners in the
Gold Circle district would rather
keep the camp dormant than to ac-
cept reasonable" proposals for
ground.
But this attitude has changed, in
the opinion Of Mr.. Coughlan, at
least in partial extent, and this
constitutes one of his reasns for
believeing that the camp is at last
to come into it's own. More i'm
portant, however, are results at
tending . recent visit of H. G. Nc
Mahon to Midas, in his capacity as
consulting engineer for the Red
wis Florence Company. Develop

factors influencing the view Of Mr..
Coughlan.

JAP FINANCIERS DEMANDS HALT TO CHINESE BOYCOTT
Demand Government Make Show Of Force To Compel
 Buying Of Merchandise

TOXIC, July 15.-Japanese com mercial magnates, headed by Niscount Shibusawa, are demanding that the government adopt stringent measures to break China's anti-Japanese boy colt The financiers indicate they are being badly hit by the action of Chinese, who are seeking revenge for the action of Japanese marines in firing on Chinese during dis turbance at Changsha.
 The Japanese magnates demand that the government make a show of force to compel the Chinese to resume purchasing Japanese goods.
 About 150 Japanese residing in the Chinese quarters at Hankow are un-- able to purchase commodities, ana many Chinese rice merchants have been fined for having supplied rice to Japanese, it is said.
 The Chinese servants kept by the Japanese, through whose hands the Japanese have hitherto obtained food stuffs and other necessaries, now re- fuse to obey their masters. Reflect ing on the worse development of the situation the Japanese residents of HankoW have decided to remove women and children to the foreign settlements, also to take valuable articles to the settlement as a means of providing against an emergency. Consul General Hayashi called on the Chinese diplomatic commissioner and lodged a protest. calling attention to the grave significance of the situa- tion.
 A Chinese report from Shanghai says that several JapanesS citizens of Changsha contrived 10 pick q quarrel with the Chinese by walking through a thoroughfare of the city armed with weapons. They chal- leng ed the Chinese to fight with d view to giving rise to diplomatic complications of q serious nature, Their scheme failed, as the Chinese stood aloof and treated them with in difference.

Convicted Brokers Will Seek To Gain Release From
 Prison

NEW YORK, July 15.-Missing rec ords of the bankrupt bucket shop Of E, NJ. Fuller & Co., for the non-pro- duction or which Fuller and his part ner, William F. McGee, have spent nearly two months in jail, have re- appeared as mysteriousIy as they disappeared. it was reported today on this ground the brokers will ask Federal Judge Goddard next Wednes- day to lift the contempt sentence under which they are imprisoned.
 The plea, if granted, will free them to begin serving sentences of 15 months to four years each in state prison for bucle ting, after which they still face trial on federal in dictment for using the mails to de- fraud.
 The missing records, for the right to conceal which the brokers carried a losing fight all the way to the United States supreme court, were sent anonymously to Judge Goddard about June ', by Western Union messenger, according to an affidavit in support of the motion to lift the

 Fuller said he was advised of this fact by a man who telephoned him in his jail cell on that date. A similar call was made to Fuller's present counsel by man who gave his name as "Bascom." Judge Goddard was out of the city today and could not be reached for verification of the re- port, although the Western Union had a record of a package sent Judge Goddard by an anonymous man on that date.

 NJ Poincare emphasized the gov ernment's and his own personal feel ing in favor of close relations be- tween France and Great Britain. He recalled that it was he who brought about the alliance with Great Britain before the war when others were ad- vocating better relations between France and Germany.
 The premier concluded with what was interpreted as a carefully word ed reminder of Frances supreme po- sition on the continent and the dan ger of attacking the treaty of Yer sailles, for, he said, through a breach opened in the Versailles treaty other propositions would pass that would reopen the entire peace settlement, destroy the new status of central Europe and menace our friends, Zechosl.vagia, Rumania and Jugoslavia."

At time when cigarettes have apparently reached their limit of perfection comes surprising discovery, new-type cigarette, very distinctive.
 As all men know, wonderful progress has been made in cigarette making. There are many excellent brands, many favorites. Blending has reached an art.
 To the credit, yet despair of experts, no outstanding achievement has seemed pos sible lately. Each smoker has become con- tent with his favorite cigarette-and no one has been expecting an entirely different, un- usual blend.
 But suddenly out of perfection, as a-i9 year recompense, comes wonder-blend, exclusive, superflne.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-16
Its pedigree

We call this new cigarette Blue Boar be- cause it is developed from Americas favorite fine tobacco, Blue Boar Pipe Mixture.
 For 1o years its tobaccos have been the finest obtainable-eight rare types of the choicest American, Turkish and Egyptian. Here was no chance for betterment.
 The secret of this new-type cigarette IS in newly discovered method of blending. This may sound commonplace to men who have felt that the limit of refinement had been reached, but you will be as surprised as others when you smoke your first pack of Blue Boars.
 Blue Boar tobacco is TRIPLY blended.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-16

The ordinary process is but single blend ing, which now seems crude. Yet for years experts have considered one blending sufi- cient, and have searched elsewhere for re- fnements.
 In Blue Boar we blend the two American tobaccos separately. Likewise the five Turk ish. Then we give the Latakia from Egypt mellowing treatment. Each tobacco de- velops its finest characteristics. A third and final blending insures rare and distinctive combination, such as you've never known before. The old way never could bring such perfection.
 It is costlier, slower process-but worth it as you'll agree. The result of this simple discovery makes all the difference in the world-an entirely new taste, refinement of all rehnements.
