ADS MORE HONEST AND
HAVE MORE PERSONALITY

There is more honesty than ever
in advertising, more frank presen-
tation of the merits of the product
advertised" Irwin S. Cobb told mem
bers of the Advertising Club of
New York at its weekly luncheon in
New York City, says the Fourth
Estate.
"There is just as much person.
atty and originality evidenced in a
well-written advertisement as there
is in the pages listed on the table
Of contents" he added.
ut is the advertising men who
supply the only money that authors
manage to draw from reluctant
editors" he said. eve authors owe
them a debt of gratitude, for they
hold the columns apart for our eff
forts to run through. l have two
favorite parts of a magazine. If
the publisher has exercised any dis
erection, l always read my favorite
author first. Then I turn to the
advertisement columns and read the
superior brand of fiction that ap-
pears in them. There is really
more originality and personality in
the advertisements than in much
of the fiction"

BRACKET INSTALLING
ELABORATE SALESROOM

Something novel in this city IN
the way of an auto salesroom and
automotive electrical specialization
station is to be thrown open for
public inspection within a week by
w. L. Bracket, manager OF the
Humboldt Motor Sales Company,
who has recently leased the Staun-
ton building at Second and Bridge
streets and who is now moving
battery and other equipment from
the former location on Second
street.
The building now being &C.
cupied by the sales company is I'M
dergoing practically complete re-
modelling, large doors to be put
in both front and rear to admit the
passage of automobiles. Partitions
are being cut out, replastering ac-
complished, and when the painters
finish their work Mr.. Bracket hopes
to have an effect not only pleasing
to the eye but conducive to rapid
and efficient workmanship.
One instrument Mr.. Bracket
has installed for the serving of his
customers is an Electric Universal
Test and Repair Bench" an elab-
crate outfit costing $500 for test
ing and repairing all makes of auto
motive ignition and electrical sys-
TENS. The bench has instruments
permitting 124 different tests OF
electrical devices and it is said OF
it that it take guesswork out OF
the realm of possibility.
1t is the workings of this bench
of instruments, the sale of oxide
batteries, battery repairs and re.
charging, that Mr.. Bracket will
specialize upon, making the estab.
lishment an automotive electrical
speciality shop. Of course all kinds
Of repairs and service work will

MORE ABOUT THE
DOUBLING TRACK

Discussion of the reported West
ern Pacifc-Southern Pacific track
age agreement seems to have
reached the final stage with recent
publications of data of activities al
ready engaged in between Wesso,
three miles east of Winnemucca, and
Wells, Elko county. Semaphores
and other appliances used by the
Southern Pacific generally over its
system have been placed along
the Western Pacific for the entire
distance of 1870 miles to be used
under the double track agreement,
two large crshued gravel plants are
to be installed at Palisade to fur
nish materials for ballasting the
Western Pacific roadbed for the
entire distance, and the following
story from the last issue of the
Railroad Age" authentic railroad
publication, deals clearly with the
text of the agreement under which
the roads will operate east from
Winnemucca to close to the Utah
Nevada line at Wells:
''An understanding between the
Southern Pacific and the Western
Pacific providing for through routes
and joint rates with the Western
Pacific and also for double track
use of the tracks for the two COM
panies in Nevada has been reached
in connection with the order re-
Gently issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission authorizing
the Southern Pacific to retain con-
troll of the Central Pacific, which is
expected to be Of considerable ad-
vantage to the Western Pacific.
That road has been under con-
siderable disability because of the
lack Of joint routes and rates to
points on its lines and at the hear
ing on the Southern Pacific appli-
cation it requested that any order
issued by the commission should re-
quire the Southern Pacific to enter
into arrangements for additional
through routes and joint rates with
lines competitive with the lines OF
the Central Pacific. At the time of
the oral argument in the case, how
ever, the Western Pacific withdrew
its request and stated that a salts
factory adjustment had been
reached with the Southern Pacific
A copy of a memorandum of under
standing reached at a conference
between representatives of the two
roads in New York on January 8
was printed as an appendix to the
commissions report in the Southern
Pacific case" -Elko Independent.

Passed Exam. 100 Per Cent

George Becker Jr., amateur wire
less operator and radio expert
menter of this city, returned last
Friday from Reno, where he went
to take the government examination
to secure a license as amateur oper-
ator, first class. He has been oper-
ating during the last two years
under a second-class license, and it
was with much joy that he learned
he had passed the more difficult
examination with a percentage of
100 per cent, which means that he
did not slip up on single question
or test, truly a creditable showing.
Becker has long been recognized as
one of the deepest students of wire
less and radio technical matters in
this state, and his showing at Reno
justifies the confidence which has
been reposed with him by others in
seeking remedies in radio problems

Saturday Night Dances

Some time ago a wave" of pro-
test went over the state concerning
the evidence of too much moon
shine and rowdyism at public
dances, and Winnemucca did not
escape her part of the odium at
tached. 1t was then that Manager
Oastler of the Nixon in this city
commenced searching for ways and
means of preventing occurrences
at public dances which might bring
on adverse public criticism. He
struck upon the plan of closing the
balcony of the theatre during
dances and for the last two weeks
that has been done, with the pleas
ing and rather surprising result
that those who formerly made
merry in the darkened recesses of
the balcony have not only COM
ported themselves perfectly on the
dance floor, but have also COM
menced patronizing the dance itself
by joining in the terpschorean eff
fort. The result has been con-
tinued expressions of approval by
those who like to dance but object
to the displays Of excessive merry
making.

FOOD PRODUCTS CASES
IN FEDERAL COURT

In United States court recently
disposition was made of three cases
in which food products did not in
some manner meet requirements of
the law. Quantities of vanilla and
lemon extracts were by Prof. S. C.
Dinsmore found to be in short-meas-
ure containers. The owners were
given opportunity to put the ex-
tracts in condition to suit Prof.
Dinsmore, putting up a bond.
In the case of a large quantity
of sweet chocolate, however, it was
different. The quality of the goods
was all right but the packages were
of short weight. No owner ap-
peared to claim the seized choco-
late, which was by Judge Earring
ton ordered turned over to the
orphans home.-Carson News.

Didn't Win Championship

The girls basketball team of the
.ocal high school lost to the Reno
team last Friday, in the state tour
nament held in that city, the score
being twenty-five to fifteen, which
eliminated them from contesting
for the senior championship. They
were also eliminated from the
junior contest having won their
first game against the Carson City
high school girls by a two to one
score.
In both the boys and girls
game with Reno and Sparks some
of the strongest local players were
obliged to leave the court due to
injuries received which greatly
handicapped both teams, but review
ing the entire efforts of the local
participants it can only be said
that their work was highly COM
mendable throughout the contest.

a jury decided here last night in find
ing the KuKlux Khan publicity d.
rector guilty of murder. The jury
recommended mercy Of the court and
Fox was Immediately sentenced to life
Imprisonment.
THE voice of God commanded me
to kill Coburn,' Fox declared in his
defense. 1t was the voice of hell, E"
argued the prosecution, and the jury
re-echoed the charge when it spent
nine hours Friday arguing solely on
the degree of punishment.
The insanity issue was never con
sidered after the first ballot. which
showed a majority in favor Of the
death penalty and a few voting for
life Imprisonment" one juror said to-
day.
Fox took his sentence silently. He
faced Judge G. II. Howard for a mo-
ment. then dropped his head, and
waited while sentence was pronounced.
Guarded by deputies, he ~shuffled off
to his cell In Fulton Tower. to await
transfer to a county prison camp.
The throng which filled the court
room made no demonstration on hear
ing the verdict.
Mrs. Fox was waiting at the Jail.
She wept as she heard the verdict.
She embraced her husband and then
went to her home.
Fox shot W S. Coburn to death in
his Office on the afternoon of Novem-
