GREATEST OF ALL QUESTIONS

the Child.

Everychild looks at us inqulringly.
From the streets,
From the many windows,
From orphan and founding asy-

From the factories,
From the squalld homes
And from the homeless places.
From the windows of the schools
He looks at us inquiringly,
He, the future of the race,
He looks at US and through US,
And far away
Into the distant future,
And sometimes In his eyes
There Is hope and cheer.
And sometimes reproach,
And sometimes despair.
We had best stop and look at Every

Not alone for his father,
But belongs to every one Of US;

THE Bat" Big Play

For intense and constant audience
interest, "The Bat" played in this
city last Monday night at the Nixon
Opera House, has not been excelled
for many years. The plot of the
play was a typical Mary Roberts
Rinehart mystery story which per-
mitted only wild guess on the part
of few as to the solution, which
was not revealed until few NOM
ents before the final curtain drop.
A canvas of the lobby smokers
proved that a large number of the
audience were unable to solve the
mystery and guessed wrong in prac-
tically every instance. The play is
replete with thrilling events and
every art known to producers was
used to create thrilling incidents.
The acting of the company was ex-
cellent, the staging good, properties
adequate. The only possible criti-
cism of the play might be a few
holes" in bringing out some of the
why's and wherefores of the action
portrayed, as for instance how the
million dollars was first stolen and
what part "The Bat" had in Incl
dents leading up to the commence
ment of the story as told by the
actors. Winnemuccans thoroughly

LOCAL DELEGATES
AT FARMERS MEET

Seventy-fve delegates representing
nine different counties were in at
tendance yesterday morning at the
opening sessions of the fourth an
nual meeting of the Nevada State
Farm Bureau held in Reno in the
educational building at the Uni
versity of Nevada.
M. C. Eastman, president of the
Winnemucca Farm Bureau and
County Farm Bureau Agent Joe
Wilson, together with l.. Hirzel and
Mrs. w. L. Akin of this city and
Mrs. Frances Eichwaldt of Orovada,
were in attendance from Humboldt
county.
President E. C. Riddell in his an
nual address outlined the progress
made by the farm bureau in Ne
vada during the past year. He said
in part: "There has been a great
change for the better in the farm
bureau activities in Nevada the past
year. However, when an organiza-
ton is strongest it always has its
weak points that need strengthen
ing, it is seventy-five percent good
and twenty-five percent Indifferent.
"Our national organization has
been active during the year, its ac-
complishments along the line of
reclamation in endorsing for pass
age a reclamation bill, means much
to the west. Another matter in
which the national organization has
taken lead is the organization of
the National Producers Live Stock
Associations, which have been in
operation under the direction of the
national farm bureau for the last
nine months. Their report shows
six organizations of this character
were organized at Buffalo, East st.
Louis, Peoria, Indianapolis, Chicago
and Fort Worth, Texas, and that
they handled stock at a saving of
$12.70 per car to the producers,
charged regular commission prices
and made saving to the producers
of approximately 100000.
"A movement is being made in
Nevada to perfect a similar or
ganization for western states so
they have the same marketing faci-
lities which will mean that the pro-
ducers will get better action and re-
turns for stock.
Zone Of the grave questions con-
sidered by the national farm bureau
meeting in Chicago was the keeping
of boys and girls on the farm. Re-
ports showed the work of the coun-
ty and home demonstrating agents
was solving this problem through its
junior clubs, live stock and home
instruction which had interested the
yong folk and means better farm
homes and better citizenship"
The followin Humboldt county
delegates were named committee
members:
Live Stock, L. Hirzel.
Rural Engineering, Mrs. Frances
Eichwaldt.
Dairy and Poultry,L. Hirzel and
Mrs. w. L. Akin.
Nutrition, M. c. Eastman.
Resolutions, Mrs. Frances Eich-
waldt and M. C. Eastman.
The afternoon session was de-
voted entirely to hearing the re-
ports of county agricultural heads
and home demonstration agents and
these indicated growth in interest
in that work in every county where
such agents are employed.
