tomorrow night the May dance
will be held at Waterloo and from
all accounts a big crowd will be
on hand. The Litehenberg oreA-

ways been enjoyable social affairs
and in this instance there will be
no exceptions to the rule.

FIRED

Brother Ray has been ousted
from the wardenship of the State
Penitentiary.
At meeting held by the Prison
commissioners on Monday, Ray
Baker was removed and George
Cowing appointed to fill the office
of Warden, to dtake effect on or
about May 10th. After this being
done, Secretary of State Brodigan
rendered his report in which he
stated he had reviewed the testi-
mony as given at the trial, but
could see mo place wherein the
charges made by Governor Oddie
against the warden had been sus-
tanned. This report, however, was
not rendered until Cowing had re-
eeived the appointment.
The meeting was called in the
Governors Office a. 1880, but At
torney General Baker being busy
with court affairs the meeting was
resumed at 12:45.
When the board had been called
to order, Governor Oddie stated he
wished to make a melton that the
office OF warden be declared vacant.
Brodigan Immediately seconded
the motion, and Attorney Baker
voted against it. The name OF
Cowing was then placed in nomin-
alton by Brodigan and voted yes
by the Governor and no by the At
torney General
Attorney General Baker asked
that the clerk show by the minutes
no action against the warden had
been sustained, ren1Arking mo gag
rule" goes here. 1t appears to
have been frame up and Baker
was ousted before an Investigation
was made.

New Phones are
improved Type

The telephone boxes selected for
the Farmers system now under
course of construction in this Val
ley are of the latest design and
embrace several improvements
that will be appreciated by party
line subscribers. On the side of
the box there is a button and by
pressing it when ringing central
the bells on the other phones will
not ring, thus giving each subscrib-
er all the advantages of a private
line. The boxes transmit the voice
in clear, auditable tone, and free
from the customary buzziny noise.

devoted to a graphic story, hand

Among the pictures is one which
is a striking advertis mont Of the

There are several other pictures

WATER MEETING To Be
HELD HERE ON MAY II

Considerable interest has been
taken by by the water users of this
Valley in regard to the appropria-
by the government of the flood
waters of the Carson river for the
Truckee Carson project in Church
i'll county.
Believing that meeting should
lie called, where the problem,
which is a serious one TO this Val
ley, could be discussed and some
understanding OF the situation
gained by those who are not yet
conservative with what the GOV
eminent appropriation really
means, it has been suggested that
such a meeting be held in Gard
neryille on Sunday afternoon,
Nay 18th at 80 o'clock. On that
date Alfred Chartz, the Carson at
torney, and who hs7 had many
years experience in water matters,
will be present. IL. A. Lennon
has also promised to be here on
tha day, likewise Others of Ormsby
county, that are as deeply effected
In this apnroprIation matter as are

he people of this Valley.

the people of this Valley.
This is a meeting that should be
attended by every water user in
Carson Valley. The matter to
be taken up is one of great i'm
pcrtanee and is considered SO by
many who realize what the gov
eminent appropriation means to
this Valley. At any rate you will
have an opportunity to hear the
question discussed and you can
then form your own opinion as to
the restrictions that will result to
the future development of this
section.
1t has been claimed that recent
appropriations of water from the
Carson river by farmers OF this
Valley, are not legal, since they
were made later than the govern
ment appropriated, which twas
filed nine years ago. Then local
appropriations are somewhat inter
ested in their rights, and no doubt
the meeting to held at Valnalla
hall on May 18th will be well at
tended.

that we are to have a cold summer,
in fact that the chilly summer Of

June and in Vermont Is inches of
snow fell. In May the ponds were

ODDFE[LOWS
CELEBRATE

Inc ceibDfdJlOn 0I the dOrQ an
niversary of Odd Fellowship held
here lest Friday was the most
auspieious occasion yet achieved
by fraternal organization within
the county. The town was gaily
decorated with flags and banners
and it seemed more like a Fourth
of July celebration than any thing
else.
Between sixty and seventy
Odd Fellows fell in line and
marched to the school grounds to
be present at the flag raising
The community was well repre-
sented at the flag raising, showing
that the parents take keen in
terest in things appertaining to
school affairs.
The school children sang the
"Star Spangled Banner" as the
big flag was run up the pole and
unfurled to the breeze. She float
ed out as though proud OF tie
part she was taking.
John Edwards Bray, SUP aria-
tendent Of Public instruction, and
also a prominent Odd Fellow, was
introduced and delivered a most
appropriate address. He declared
that the flag floating above him
was the emblem of the greatest of
nations. After touching upon 9TH
er subjects, he dwelt upon world
peace, which is probably the great
est question before the nations OF
ths world at this time. He said
that America was taking the lead
to abolish war for all time. "In
the schools throughout this land
peace is being.taught to the boys
that later will have the RESPONSE
oility in national affairs" He
ais showed where fraternal organ
izations of world wide scope, were
doing their share in the peace
movement.
AT the close of Mr.. Bray's re.
marks the pupils sang patriotic
air and the ceremony closed with
three cheers for old glory.
At the church the regular Gre
mony of the order was delivt red
Mr.. Bray delivered a splendid ad-
dress on the teachings of Odd Fell
lowship. He was followed by John
Heimsoth, who told of some true
examples OF brotherly love that
had come to his personal knowled-
ge. A special choir rendered APP
propriate music.
In the evening a dance was held
and without question was attend
ed by the largest crowd ever
assembled in the hall during the
past ten years. Quite a crowd was
out from Carson and in all over
100 tickets were sold.

In city and country alike the civic nurse
is teaching health. In the mountains OF
North Carolina. Miss Lydia Holman rides
from cabin TO cabin. with nursing supplies
strapped to her saddle. Her district is large,
and the distances are great, often five TO
twenty miles between families, and her work
is often outside the nurse 5 province. Minor
surgical operations. general medical cases,
the extracting OF teeth, are part Of her rcgu-
lar routine For pay She accepts whatever
is offered, potatoes, corn, oats,
hav, and wood or whatever there may be
an oversupply OF. In this way she pays for
her cabin, her horse. and her food. She Is
a missionary OF human conservation.
In the midst OF rural Virginia. Mrs. Thom-
as Nelson Page has established a center for
visiting nurses. little white cottage called
Pinccote from which the nurses travel
through the country and teach people before
they are sick as well As nurse them IN SICK
ness.
OF course i, i, in the municipalities that the
civic nurse finds her best field; for the cities
are beginning to realize that She Is a ncccS-
sary public servant and are treating her as
such. In Richmond. Virginia. the instruc-
tive visiting nurses, as they are called, with
Miss y. !. Minor at their head, are members
Of the old Southern families, women with
power and social position enough to influence
factory legislation start movements Tor pub
lie sanitation. and other things related to
their work for public health They are show
ing the South what the North IS slowly
learning, that the civic nurse, with the pos

has the most important educational work OF
the country in her hands.
