1t takes a crack real estate
salesman to draw such tempting
picture Of a bungalow that even
a modern bachelor Is inspired to
rush right out and look for a gar.
den rake and a wife.
After q man has silenced his
conscience toward his wife a few
times, it just lies down like little
Fido, goes to sleep and never
troubles him again.
If it were as difficult to get
married as it is to get a pre-war
drink. marriage certificates would
become the craze of the hour.
Since the Anti-Saloon League has
made drinking so popular and
fashionable, why not start an
"Anti-Marriage League" to give
an impetus to matrimony?
The average man is like a clock;
once you get him wound up and
started in any direction, you can't
stop him until he either runs
down or gets a violent jolt.

Mothers Are Not Martyrs
By ELSIE ROBINSON

she did. She says she didn't.

blast this ancient graft Of ma
ternal martyrdom which so many
women employ.
Few are the mamas who can
demand SO, 200, 900 for producing
an heir, but the ladies are legion
who go through life thinking
that they're entitled to perpetual
erldowmentS, haioes and ,hosannas
simply because they're mothers.
The pangs Of motherhood" is
one Of our hottest and hoariest
slogans and rash is the mortal

self, I'm here to say IL is hooey.
The pangS Of motherhood are
not, In the long run, any more
burdensome or distressing than
the pangs Of fatherhood. Some
women sacrifice their lives in
becoming mothers and many
men sacrifice their lives in being
fathers. II we're going to bestow
medals for such heroism. they'll
have to be bi-sexual.
It's as difficult to keep little
Jimmy in the world and pay his
grub and shoe bills as it Is to
bring him into the world origi-
nally. But no one sends papa
roses or violet water while he's
doing it. Many ladies, who,
through economic necessity, have
been forced to act as fathers to
their children as well as mothers.

SHOWS Sig TON
INTO ORE THREE FEET;
MAY DEVELOP INTO
ANOTHER MOHAWK

Supt. ]. P. Hart of the Operator
Consolidated Mines Company Of
Goldfield, reported last night that
Deep Hole No. 27 had penetrated
three feet of ore which, sampled
from the drilling at the collar of
the hole, assayed $1,000. Mr.. Hart
expressed the opinion that due to
the ravelly condition of the for
nation a major part of the values
were held up in the hole and that
the ore encountered last night was
a possible forerunner of another
rich Mohawk lenSe.
Within the next two weeks; work
preliminary to the extraction Of
the ore will be finished. Upon the
arrival of Captain John A. Hassell.
mining engineer and president of
the Operator company, the COM
panys policy at Wahmonie will
be determined.
The recent rich strike on the
Victory ground which is close to
and on the same geological hori-
zon as the GrubStake claims owned
by the Operator, will probably in
fluence the company's program at
Wahmonie.
