The Winnemucca Postoffice

So far as can be learned there are
10 active candidates for the Winnie
mueea postoffice, although the commits
sion of Postmaster J. A. Rogers will
expire on the Goth of next month. Sew
eral leading Democrats, when asked
who will be our next postmaster, de-
clared that they had heard no talk in
regard to the matter, although all ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to
George NJ Rose for the position. All,
however, expressed themselves as well
pleased with the administration of
Postmaster Rogers, saying it would
not hurt their feelings in the least TO
have him continued in office.
When interviewed on the subject this
morning by Silver State representa-
tive, Senator w. J. Bell, Democratic
national committeeman from Nevada,
replied:
eyes, 7 will probably be consulted
Oh this, the only federal appointment
from my home town have heard of
nc candidates for the position and am
Of opinion that no applications have
been made. Postmaster Rogers has
made splendid official, and while he
rcay not be reappointed by Demo
cratic administration, it is not likely
that there will be any great hurry in
naming his SUCCESSOR
When asked if he was a candidate
Tor the position, George M. Rose re-
piled:
''I have never given the subject a
moment g consideration, and today am
ia no sense a candidate. / left the
newspaper business owing entirely to
its confning ature, ad shall be very
cautious about entering any line of
endeavor that will prove equally or
even more onerous.

PROPOSE fEDERAL LOANS
IN AID OF LAND SETTLERS

Representatives of 40 states and
Canadian provinces who attended the
national conference on marketing and
farm credits at Chicago, issued a state
ment embodying score of recommen-
cations to Congress urging its co
operation in improving conditions af-
feeting the American farmer.
The statement asked the appoint
mont by Congress of a commission of
five members to investigate the results
Of land settlement in the west ami
other sections of the country to re-
move the obstacles to acquiring
farms. -
Existing conditions in the irrigation
sections of the country could be cor
rected, the statement added, by the
enactment of legislation by the states
or by he nation, which would provide
money to be loaned to settlers. The
conference, it was set forth, will
strongly oppose any plan that will end
mainly in real estate speculation and
increase in land values to the disa,.-
vantage of settlers.
"Any plan for aiding settlers" the
statement said, "by better system of
rual credits should be preceded by
an effective plan for preventing in
el ease of land values.
The department of agriculture was
urged to establish standards of meas
me and quality for all merehantable
farm products.

.OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS
AND THE RED CROSS

"Say, teacher, how sick's a feller got
ter be ter get in this ere open air
schoolT This was a greeting to one
of the teachers at the Elizabeth Nc
Cormick Open Air School In Chicago
the other day by a puny little fellow
who had been envying the sick klddies
the good time they were having at
studying, working, sleeping and play
ing all in the open air.
Open air schools to the number OF
nearly 500 are now maintained all
over the United States. Some of them
this winter in the northern states will
hold sessions when the thermometer Is
down to zero or below. Others will
enjoy the balmy winds of Southern
California, Louisiana or Alabama.
In the open air school movement Red
Cross Seals have played and are still
playing an important part. The seal
money, through the Anti-Tuberculosis
societies, has been the means for ex-
perimenting and convincing the hard
headed school boards of the wisdom or
the plan and also for providing food,
clothing and special nursing care which
the public funds could not furnish. Red
Cross Seals are among the children's
truest friends.

ONE HUNDRED MORE MEN
WANTED TO FIGHT COYOTES

In an article in the Goldfifield Trib-
une on the mad eoyotet danger, Pres
iaent Hendrick stated that there had
been treated al the laboratory of the
state university over 20 people, bitten
by rabid coyotes or mad dogs. In ad
dition there have been reported to the
authorities severe losses among cattle,
now aggregating several hundred head.
In fact, coyotes have infected some of
the herds of dairy cattle and in that
manner the menace has been brought
home more nearly to the people of the
state, as it has been recently establish
ed that the infection may be trans
nsitted through the drinking of the
milk of the animals bitten by rabil
coyotes or dogs.
The university has been assisted by
Senators Newands and Pittman and
nc federal government has sent to the
state trained hunters, trappers and
poisoners of these predatory animals,
and these hunters are now, and have
been for some weeks, working in the
northern part of the state. Twenty-Five
of them are operating in Ell.o and
Humboldt counties under the direction
Of Mr.. Sans. They are paid by the
federal government on the basis per
month, each man "finding' himself
In addition to these % men appli
cation has been made to the govern
ment for 100 more hunters, in tie hope
teat this army, small as it viii be even
with this addition, will be able te de
stroy the rabid coyote. President Hen
dlick, in his statemen, expressed thS
be lief that at least 100 additional mel
should be employed for this work.
While the outbreak has been confine,
principally to the territory north o
the Humboldt, or north of the South

HAWAIIAN SINGERS
TOMORROW NIGHT

Bells Famous Hawaiian Singers and
Players will give an entertainment at
the Nixon tomorrow evening. This ia
nous aggregation of musicians was
here last year and made a great hit
with the public, and no doubt a large
audience will be out again to hear
them. They are just as much at home
in American classical music and topi-
cal airs as they are in their native
Kanaka numbers. Several of them are
vocalsts of merit and their concert
singing is unusually good and their
music strikes a popular chord

RED CROSS SEAL FUNDS
NOT FOR WAR RELIEF.
American Red Cross Director Urges
Fund For tuberculosis Prevention.

None of the proceeds from the sale of
Red Cross Christmas Seals, which are
being sold widely throughout the Unit
ed States for the be1ent of the anti
tuberculosis movement, will be used
for any relief purposes, according to al
statement by Ernest p. Bicknell, Ma
tional Director of the American Red
Cross.
Mr.. Bicknell says: "The Americana
Red Cross is deeply appreciative of the
sympathetic interest which has inspired
the suggestion from various parts of
the United States that a certain per-
centage of the Red Cross Seal Sales
Fund, which has been used for the last
seven years exclusively for the preven-
ton and treatment of tuberculosis In
the United States, be expended this
year to aid the European war suffer
ers. While the Red Cross is desirous
OF securing contributions which will In
crease this war relief fund, we do not
feel justified in adopting any policy
which will tend to cripple the tubercu-
losis work in this country, dependent
as it is for support to so large an ex-
tent ON the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals The announcement that
percentage of the Red Cross Seal mon,
ey would go to our war relief fund.-
might possibly increase the sale; but,
IN our opinion, the final results would
show distinct loss in that part of theI
proceeds going for tuberculosis work.
AT the present time there are overl
LOO antituberculosis societies distrib-l
uted through nearly every state In theI
Union and even in Porto Rico, the
Canal Zone and far Off Hawaii, which
are dependent almost entirely upon the
receipts from the Red Cross Seal sale
for their work during the year 1916. The
people of the United States must sup
port this local war against tuberculo-
sis, which annually kills 100000 people
and at the present time is leaving a
trail Of million wounded"
