GEORGE B. RUSSELL

Six republicans have filed nomi-
nation papers for members Of the
assembly. About the las. Of these
to get to the front is George b.
Russell of Elko. We have kno Rn
George az boy and man and have
nothing to say against him as
either. He served one term in the
assembly and made a good record.
His politics are off color from
our view point but that would net
interfere with his ability to do good
work in the legislature. He favors
the election of United States
senator's by direct vote. the aboli-
ton of useless Offices and the Teduc-
ton Of excessive salaries.
George Russell is a young man
Of more than ordinary ability. He
is a printer and works at his trade.
While all printers are not reli-
able George is.
He belongs t. the great army of
toilers and his sympathies are with
those who toll. He has been faith
full in the past and we believe he
will be in thu future.
His record as a legislator, his
ability and his past party service
should recomm end him to the
earnest consideration of republicans
at the primary election. If nom.
mated he will try to win. If sue
cessful in November he will give
the state good service.

PERRY SCOTS TURKEY

Tie story of Perry Scott's turkey
has come down from Revolutionary
days in Carolina. Colonel Gordon
was accustomed to tell of the hasty
march which he made before
Rudolph's legion. He was just sit
ting down to dinner when orders
we're given to cross the Ashley
river. 1t was nearly nightfall
when he bivouacked in q valley in
which the cavalary under Wayne
had just encamped and, with his
officers, began to sup on dry bread
and potatoes. The infantry which
he commanded were in q starving
condition, and the commissary was
without money, but raiding upon
the farmers was sternly made
punishable by death.
Reports Of the hungry condition
of the newcomers had circulated
among Wayne's men. Just as the
colonel began to eat his musty
bread a private from Wayne's
cavalry appeared and said respect
fully: Perry Scott had some
money, colonel, and bought a
turkey. We have unfortunately
eaten all but one leg. took TIE
Liberty of bringing that to you"
The colonel took the leg CRATE
fully and had scarcely finished it
when another vf Wayne's men ap-
peared with the same story of
Perry Scott's turkey and another
leg.
The colonel congratulated him
self on his luck and handing the
drumstick over to a fellow officer,
went out of the tent. 1t was grow,
ing dark. Another cavalrymar

Perry Scott and cautiously handed
over third leg. The colonel con

Chance for Crescents to Gain
Permanent Possession of Gun

, out OF the running this year. the Cres-
cents have a chance to corral the trophy
for the first time in the history Of the
league.
For the Wanderers to beat the cham
plon team from across the bridge means
a lot Of prestige to th(m. Practically
a first year team with a lot OF raw
talent. Coach Tom Howard has devei-
oped a seven whose team work equals
that OF n In the league. and whose
speed has always left their opponents
trailing behind. And It will be little
short OF sensational to capture the
championship In their first try at It.
But two things mitigate against their
chances. The Crescents. all veterans.
have a little better knowledge Of the
liner points Of the game. which In q
crucial game will cut a very large
figure. And the Wanderers are a much
lighter team than the Half Moonsry,
who have a habit OF tanning their OPP
ponents up against the boards and
knocking the steam out Of them.
