submitted to the Quorum Court
that meets on October q.
The work costs more than the
amount contributed 70 the County
by the Government and State Col

ence, of course, has to be borne by
the county where the work is done.
For instance If the court will levy,
IN cash, $3.50, the College and Gov.
ernment will contribute $3.50, cash,
and If the county will increase the
amount by $50, the Government
and College will increase its gift by
the same amount, or 5000 to 5000.
There is a regular scale of increase
for larger amounts.

She had been chosen to recite Lin,

A reporter next day found Margaret

She produced a crumpled paper on

celebrating the 40Oth anniversary OF

tor to San Francisco is impressed with
the wonderful progress the world has
made since that time.

This trip consists of moving pictures

1t is the same with the Canadian

A SAD COMM EMIT.

1T is a pretty howdydoo when a
governor OF an American state has
to keep troops around his house night
and day to keep some Of his people
from numbering him because he dared
to do what was right. 1t would ap-
pear to the people Of Nevada that 1t
might be a good scheme to send Funs-
ton and some Of his troops to Georgia
Just to show the people down there
what 1t was to be men. The troop
ers would train the roughnecks of that
section quickly and properly and the
other states Of the union would be
benefited by the teaching.-Carson

PREPAR EDNESS.

JUST now the entire country is dis.
cussing the advisability of being pre-.
pared for war. 1t is held by the paci,
icists that building forts and manu-.
featuring arms invites conflict.
All things are relative. The United
States is a well armed nation com
pared with n republic like Mexico. But
1t is very poorly equipped for war com
pared to Germany. However, Presi.
dent Wilson has shown the same wis.
dom and tolerance in dealing with
Mexico that he has with Germany. II
anything he has leaned to the side of
the weaker country.
Nations are like individuals. Be.
a man is carrying n gun in the
streets of Elko 1t does not follow that
he a not be trusted to be law abid.
Ing nor that he intends to commit
murder. The gun may be purely for
his own self-defensc.
WHAT n fortunate thing il was one
Of Il townsmen the other day was
armed with a club when he met the
mad coyote. And in the same way the
United States should be prepared for
any emergency. We do not wish to
build UP an army of conquest but an
army OF defense. And no matter how
great the force we maintain we car
trust ourselves to deal justly with the
rest Of the world.

HELPING THE FARMER.

BRYAN has at last done something
to please Wall street in the ~ener,y's
country. He has suggested a plan
whereby the United States can finance
the South American republics.
The South American citizen does
not save money. He enjoys his in.
come for the day and is happy. Con,
s~eQuently he never gets ahead. He
never sees the need OF providing for
a rainy day.
And the state governments are Just
the same. The taxes that are levied
are needed for current expenses. And
the several governments have no
money for internal improvements.
But all those republics want 10 Dor.
row money and are willing to pay in.
terest. Now hat Europe is closed to
them they are turning for help to the
United States.
Bryan's plan is to loan them money
at four per cent interest. To get this
money the United States will sell
three per cent gold bonds. The diff.
ference in interest will pay off the
face OF the bond in AZ years. Thus
paying only four per cen interest the
South American countries will pay of
their principal and interest in less
than half n century.
The point of all this is that if the
United States can afford to loan
money to the South American repub.
lies at our per cent it can loan to
Its own citizens at the same rate of
interest.
No bank can afford to loan to farm.
ers even at a higher rate of interest,
especially if the note is to run for AZ
years. The banks now have demand
for all their money on short time com.
mercial loans.
But the banks will buy the three per
cent government bonds. These bonds
in turn will be the basis for the is
SUE of more currency and the currency
car be used to buy more bonds. Thus
the United States is great enough to
finance not only South America but
the farmers on the Nevada deserts.

And One Reason Why Our Big Guns
Are Made So Long.
Only 43 per cent Of ordinary gun
powder is converted into gas when 1t
explodes. The remaining 81 per cent
Is unconsumed residue, which we see
la the form of smoke. With smokeless
powder 1t is different. On ignition it Is
converted wholly A,to gas. A much
greater volume of gas is produced, and
the explosive effect is proportionately
increased.
When the war with Spain broke out
in 1898 the United States government
did not have any smokeless powder.
The Spaniards, on the other hand, had
plenty OF 1t and used it on both land
and sea. Consequently the American
besiegers at Santiago were unable to
see the Spanish soldiers firing at them,
whereas the enemy could see by the
puffs OF smoke just where to shoot.
When Admiral Cervera's ships came
out Of the harbor and tried to escape,
the vessels of the American squadron
found it hard in the fight that followed
to fire accurately because their view
of the foe was obscured by the clouds
of smoke from their own guns.
There are many kinds OF smokeless
gunpowder One of the best known
is the English cordite, which, when
forced through holes in perforated
metal plate while In plastic condition,
takes the form of thick strings that
look like brown rubber. The strings
are cut up into short cylindrical pieces.
You can safely hold a string of cordite
in your hand and light one end Of 1t; 1t
will burn slowly with bright flame
A characteristic OF smokeless pow
ders Is that they burn very slowly; on
that account modern guns are very

Task Of Organized Workers.

Opponents of organized labor
have done about everything possi-
BILE to bring it into disrepute and
destroy it as an influence in society.
They have invoked the courts
to declare it illegal
They have utilized the troops
and police to'intimidate it and make
it social outlaw.
They have subsidized the press
to libel and misrepresent it.
They have hypnotized the pulpit
to distract the workers with false
sentiment.
There is little left for them to
undertake in their efforts to ami
hiliation of the laoor movement.
Vet organized labor is stronger
and more active today than ever
before.
The great task of the organized
workers right now is not apologetic
or defensive. 1t is aggressive.
1t labor is to be organized, it
must be the result of the activities
of the workers themselves.
Let that be distinctly understood
Now, organized labor is not
held-up. 1t is business PROPOSE
ton, with lot of the fraternal in
it.
Organization is the keynote of
today. 1t is the practical intel
ligence of present day activities.
Labor un-erganized is at a tre-
mendous disadvantage. 1t is anti
quated and incompetent.
1t is as much out cf place today
as the excart or the wooden plow.
If it were not for the labor or
CARNATIONS the workers would be
no better than slaves. They would
be absolutely at the mercy of the
heartless monster of money.
Their lot is none too desirable

formed into gas before the projectile
driven by it leaves the muzzle OF the
weapon. The smokeless powder used
by our army and navy is made by
soaking nitro cotton in a mixture of
ether and alcohol 1T is thus converted
into a plastic substance that may be
nodded or cut into any shape re-
quired. For small arms it is manu-
factured In form resembling spaghet-
h-long strings that are chopped into
little pieces and packed into the car
tridges. For big guns it is made in long
rods, which, after being perforated
from end to end with a number of
holes to insure quicker ignition, are
cut into short lengths. That kind of
powder, which might be called an ex-
plosive celluloid, is of a horny con-
sistency. As in the case of other smoke
less powders, the slowness with which
1t burns is owing mainly to its density
The very cloth of the bags used to
contain charges of gunpowder for the
big guns has itself been made OF
smokeless powder that IS, woven of
threads OF exactly the same substance.
That Is an invention of the Germans.
The bag thus becomes part OF the ex-

fired is wholly consumed. Professor
