JOHN PEDROS
DIES SUDDENLY
Had Resided in this County
for Twenty-Five Years and
Was Well Known Locally

John Pedros, known to everybody IN
this community as Looks-me-Good
Iobn died here Sunday afternoon af-
tor a brief illness. About ten days
before his death he secured room at
tho Starke hotel, stating that he was
not feeling well and intended to take
a rest for few days. Upon arising
Sunday morning he announced to Mr..
starke that he was feeling better and
hoped to be all right in a day or so.
Inst before noon he went to his room.
Several hours later Mr.. Starke knock
cd on his door to ascertain if he want
ed something to eat and got no re-
sronse. The door was locked on the
inside and it was necessary to gain
access to the room through window.
The aged man was found lying on the
he'd fully dressed, death having evil
IDENTIFY came while he was asleep.
Deceased was about 72 years of age
and resided in Carson Valley for twen-
ty.five years, being a cement and con-
crete worker. Through frequent ex-
pression, that looks me good he Sc
cured nickname that stayed with
him until death, and very few here
knew him by his right name, although
in daily association with Mr.. Pedros.
He was a native of Austria and was
the father of three children. His wife
died many years ago and since his
residence here, he lost track of his
children, informing Mr.. Starke the
day before his death that he did not
know the present address of either of
his children.
The funeral was held Tuesday af-
ternoon, Rev V. f. Bronson, of the
Methodist church officiating. Burial
took place in Garden cemetery.

STOCK FEEDING
BELOW NORMAL

Feeding of livestock in Nevada,
! for market, is greatly below normal, E"
stated Vernon Metcalf, secretary of
the Nevada Livestock association.
Metcalf continues:
"This condition, true last year, looks
worse this year. A few years ago
the hay raising centers of the state,
such as Fallon, Lovelock, Fernley,
Mason, Smith and Carson Valley, fur
nished around $4,000 to $4,000 head of
steers, and from $4,000 lambs up
wards. This year, just compiled, with
the cooperation of the agricultural ex-
tension officials, to be forwarded to
the United States department of agri-
culture, place the total number of cat
tie on feed in Nevada not over twenty
thousand and sheep show a decrease
of eight thousand.
Taking both classes of stock COM
bined on feed for market in Nevada,
for at least the last ten years, this is
probably the lowest number for mar
ket in Nevada.
"The cause is this: The short hay
crop during the last year, due to a
shortage of water for irrigation, has
brought the prices for hay out OF line
with the livestock prices.
"Also, California butcher concerns
that fed large numbers of stock in
Nevada, from which to take their kill
ing supply during the winter months,
have gradually quit this practice.
They prefer depending on growers or
spectators to take the risk involved
in the fattening of livestock on hay
for the markets.
"The prevailing price quotations at
San Francisco show that coast con-
Germs are paying as high as $14 pei
hundred pounds for full wooled lambs
with short supply on feed, and are
seeking their supplies at Utah feeding
points.
This price level is on the same
basis as the big eastern markets and
is explained on the ground that with
no surplus of fat lambs in the west
the price obtained here is on the
basis of the value established where
the big supply exists, which is in the
east.
"San Francisco's market quotations
on cattle are not so satisfactory as in
the case of lambs. This is charged to
the filling up of the butchers coolers
with the carcasses of a heavy supply
of only partly finished cattle and a
consequent strain on the dressed meat
prices.
"Still with a short supply of fin
ished cattle in sight, quotations for
clearly top steers are on the basis
of &c per pound and there seems good
reason to think that with the ces-
sation of the runs of poorer qualities
of grass beeves from western points
and with the short supply of beef
steers being finished on hay, Nevada
steer feeders will be able to sell their
product at prices which will fully
compensate them for the extra price
of hay upon which their steers are
necessarily being finished. d."-Journal.

JUDGMENT DAY
PASTORS THEME

Some people say that what the Bible
calls hell is myth, pure fiction. But
these same people are perfectly will
ing to believe what the Bible says of
heaven. Why accept the one and not
the other? People again, believe IN
neither-at least, so they say. And
so they do not prepare for Judgment
Day and the final reckoning with the
just Judge.
People may not now think of these
scenes. may neglect to prepare for
them, may put them out of mind and
live as if they were matters of tic
ton. But in each and every human
being there is a monitor, which at
times rises up against him, and con-
yicts him of offenses against the ma
jesty of God, convincing him that he
is guilty, who, when he draws this
fleeing breath, when his eyelids close
in death, when he scars to worlds un-
known, must face his God upon His
throne.
Others think they are preparing to
meet their God, if they follow the Col
den Rule and try to live according to
the Sermon on the Mount. They for
get that both require perfection, Of
which no human being is capable.
They forget that living according to
both is useless before God, unless ac-
tuated by faith. For "what is not of
faith is SIM" Roman IA, 25; and Hbr.
IL, 6: without faith it is impossible
to please God" and that they are only
the children of God who have faith in
Christ Jesus, Gal. 3, 26.
When the Titanic struck the ice
berg and those aboard knew they were
doomed, many went down on their
knees, perhaps for the first time in
years. Why? They knew in those
moments that they were soon to face
their Maker. When the earthquake
toppled San Francisco into ruins those
who witnessed it tell of many people
doing the same. Why? They thought
Judgment Day had arrived and want
ed to be prepared TO meet the stern
Judge.
Are you prepared to meet your
Maker, II death should call your Are
you ready to meet the Son of God,
who now comes to you in His Word as
loving Savior, but on Judgment Day
will come a strict judge, and dispense
justice according to His word: "The
word that | have spoken, the same
shall judge him on the last day" John
IL, 48.

Axtell Urges Business Men to
Show Friendly Human Interest in
Their Workers and Their Families
Maker of Clown Cigarettes Tells COOPERATIVE Club
Members Few Wholesome and Sensible Things
For Them % Think About

Incorporation between employer
and employe is necessary for busi-

dent of the Axton-Fisher Tobacco
Company, told the members of the
Cooperative Club at their luncheon,
yesterday, at the Hotel Henry Wat
terson.
"a man who can't get along with
his employees is as incompetent as a
merchant who can't get along with
his customers" Mr.. Axton said.
eff you will take friendly human
interest in your worker and his fam
lily, you will not only feel warm
glow of self-satisfaction, but your
profits will increase promptly and la
Dor troubles will be unknwon," he de-
clared. Courier Journal,
June %.
Colonel Axton is an example of
the successful business man who has
put into daily practice in his factory
the literal meaning of cooperation
in industry. Joint action, with both
employer and employee pulling to-
gether for a common object such as
making product better than your
customer can buy from your strong
est competitor, with a good profit ac-
cruing to both manufacturer and
workman, is our idea of cooperation,
and it is the sort that has resulted

Reflections Of a
Bachelor Girl
Bu HELEN RowLANp

MT ARRIAGE is the point at which a
AsA man stops begging a woman to
kiss him and begins permitting her to
kiss him.
After marriage, woman always
wants to talk about her heart, when
man wants to talk about his indiges-
tion or his golf-and thus, the wires
get crossed"
Some men could go to see Rudolph
Valentino every evening of their lives
and never learn the first rudiments of
the true art of kissing.
The f1apper, who looks forward to
marriage as long series of Saturday
afternoons, with jazz, flowers and
nothing to do, Is awfully shocked
when she discovers that 1t is one blue
Monday morning after another.
A man never goes into marriage
with his eyes open. He waits until he
has been blinded by some blow Of fate
or dazzled by some good turn of for
tune, and then just jazzes into it with
the first woman he happens to snatch.
The most antique things In the
world today are not the pyramids of
Egypt, but the average mans opinions
Of how woman ought to behave.
A woman goes to the theater in or
der to enjoy seeing some other woman
suffer worse than she thinks she
does; man, in order to relish seeing
some other man fooled worse than he
thinks he was.
