SCHOOL MATTER
IS TO BE HEARD
Division of District A Will Be
Heard by County Commits
sioners at Minden Today

The matter of dividing Consolidat-
ed school district A and annexing
a portion thereof to Consolidated dis
trict B will come up for considera-
ton before the county commissioners
at meeting to be held at Minden
today, and from all accounts the con-
troversy will not be lacking in ex-
citement and thrills.
During the past few days a petit
toin has been circulated in district A
and freely signed, asking the COM
missioners to take no action in the
division of this district inasmuch as
no good and sufficient reason ex-
lists for such a change.
1t is currently reported that should
favorable action be taken on the Pc
tition now on file with the commits
sioners for the division of this dis
trict or the change of the bounda-
ries thereof, a number of residents of
Genoa district will ask similar action.
Other districts are already involved
with the present proposal and should
the request meet approval the boun-
daries of the school districts in this
county will undergo many changes.
Arguments for and against the
division of district A will be heard
by the commissioners today and it
remains for the board to decide
whether there is a good and suffi-
cient reason for granting the petit
tion as asked for.
This matter was heard by the COM
missioners at their meeting month
ago and the petition asking for the
division was granted. However, the
school laws make it necessary to give
notice of such contemplated changes
by publication, which was not done,
because of oversight. Soon after the
meeting the commissioners were
made aware of the provisions of law,
and Immediately rescinded the resolu-
ton and ordered that notice be given
that the matter would come up for
consideration at their meeting to be
held today.

The past season has been one of
unusual advantage to quail and the
game birds have multiplied by the
thousands in Carson valley, according

'ings were made and the birds can
now be found in all sections of the
valley. Unless heavy winter thins
out their numbers, next season will
see this section one of the best quail
districts in westernNevada. Pheas-
ants are also reported to be multiply
ing rapidly, especially on the east
side of the valley, which seems to
be particularly adapted to the habits
of the birds.

PELICANS DEVOURING
VALLEY TROUT

Pelieans continue their slaughter of
trout at the Dangberg reservoirs as
we'll as on the Carson river above
the Douglas power dam where they
congregate in large numbers. Thous-
ands of trout perished here because
of the low water in the Carson river
and tributary streams and the few
that is left are being devoured by
the pelieans, according to reports.
The past season has been disastrous
to point of near extinction. Those
who have taken an interest in re-
stocking the streams with trout, be-
lieve that it will take several years
to restore the waters with trout to a
point equal to that of year ago.

MANY ATTENDING
 ADVENT MISSION
This Insidious Age,' Is Subject
 Tuesday Night

That interest is growing in the mis- sion that is being conducted this week at the Church of the Advent, by E. c. Mercer and Henry H. Hadley, laymen mlssioners, was evidenced by the large congregation that assembled Tuesday night when Mir.

Mercer will speak to women and girls on '"The Grave Dangers Car Girls Face Today" At the night ser vice at s o'clock he will speak on Five Demands Christ Makes"
 In his address Tuesday night Mir. Mercer called attention to the desire of Americans to accumulate money in such amount as to make them money mad" Sunday golf, automobile riding, moving pictures, immodest dress, too many liberties for boys and girls. and divorce were among the evils of the present day which Mir. Mercer dis cussed. e
 II am not opposed to the movies, for there is much good in them, but some of the things shown on the silver screen are neither elevating nor instructive. They should be eliminated" he said.
 As a solution Mir Mercer said that people must get back to the simplicity of the Christian religion.

.VENIRE DRAWN
 FOR RUM CASES
Judge In Stormy Session Fixes April 28
 For Trials

MOBILE, Ala, April 15.-(By As- ssociated Press .)-The summoning of 50 residents of this entire federal ju- dicial district, comprising special venire drawn under an order of Judge Robert T. Erwin of the federal court today, for the trial of the joint liquor eonspiracy cases to be heard here April 28, will be started at once by forces of the United States marshal. The jurors were drawn Tuesday afternoon after the judge had denied motions of attor- neys for several defendants for sever- 4nce of the cases and had definitely liked the date for the trial.
 Decision to draw the jurors from both divisions for this trial was made by the court after an exciting session, dur ing which the argument of attorneys for the defense and the government over this point occasionally became bitter Heretofore, jurors for service at Mobile have been drawn from the southern division only and the defense lawyers wanted the policy followed in this case.
 The government attorneys arguments were that due to the number and prom thence of the defendants in this case < 1t would be practically impossible to find a member of the panel from Mobile county who did not have an i'm terest of some kind in some of the per sons on trial and for this reason that no jurors should be drawn from this county.
 Twenty kAwyers Argue
 More than 20 members of the Mobile bar, who represent the 71 various de- fendants charged jointly in this one fase, participated in the argument over ahe district to be represented in the 1rawing of the jurars. Those taking } lart for the government were Special Assistant Attorney Generals N. E. stallworth of Mobile and Hugo Black If Birmingham. ChaHyes of various

Why Women Look 60 At 40

With dark circles under their eyes sallow complexions, drawn expressions dropping shoulders, a tagging step, many women of forty have the appear ance of women of sixty. In many cases this condition is caused by overwork or neglect of such warning symptoms, as headaches, backache, nervousness, dis placements, and irregularities which indicate ailments peculiar to women. If all women so afflicted would only rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound it would restore them to a normal healthy condition, and the pre- mature signs of age will soon disap- pear.-Adv,
