WOMAN'S CLUB
ENTERTAINMENT

Next week the rehearsals for the
entertainment for the benefit of the
Nevada Federation of Women
Clubs will begin under the direction
of Mrs. Bovett of the Rink Thcater
The proceeds derived are intended
for the State Endowment and Stud
ent Loan funds. The movement ::
primarily, of course, for the benefit oil
the entire State but the secondary
benefit to the county will be more
far reaching in its effect that appears
at first thought. For these manifes'
reasons Mrs. Bovett appeals for the
cooperation of the entire commmuni-
ty. If the past generous response
to calls of this kind count for any
thing, her appeal for interest will no
be in vain.

The good news that the Wingfeld
interests have bought and will op-
crate the Fallon sugar factory is
apparently correct. 1t is matter of
great deal of Importance to the
people of Mason Valley and, in fact,
the whole Of Lyon county than many
stop to considers Owing to the fact
that the season was so far spent be-
fore the transaction was closed the
plant will not be operated this year.
Here is an opportunity for the farm
ers OF this vicinity to organize a lit
tie concerted effort and prepare to
raise beets next year. 1t is a well
proven fact that there is big profit
in raising the sugar beet and it is to
be hoped that when representatives
OF the factory come here for the pur-
pose of making contracts with the
farmers they will not be treated with
indifference. With the financial back
ing assured to the enterprise it will
not be long before the farmers all
over the state will be wanting tc
make contracts to sell beets to the
factory.

of the questions that must be SOLVED
by the American people. 1t is Sc
complicated and comprehensive in its
scope that it can harly be regarded
as one subject coming under a single
head, that of martial strength, but
more nearly comprehends the entire
economy of our system of govern
ment. 1t is not because we are in a
chaotic condition or that the theories
of our political economy are disor-
ganized, but because Of the sudden
destruction of the entire balance of
power in the old world, that we are
compelled to adjust our affairs to
face the new exigencies arising from
the world wide confusion that will
follow the war. To accomplish our
purpose and to prepare to meet the
conditions TO follow we will be com
PEELED to act without passion or
prejudice towards any of the con-
tending nations. There should be no
hyphenated Americans. Because an
occasional citizen by adoption may
or might forget his oath of allegiance
to this country by reason of his love
for his native land, it would be no
more significant that, as a class, all
citizens who are of that nationality
will follow, than that the descend
ants of other nations who have been
born in this country will turn traitor
to the flag. During the war of the re-
bellion in this country brothers
against brothers and fathers against
sons fought on opposite sides. Be-
cause their hearts bled for the
breach, none of them faltered in their
duty. Owing to the delicate relations
between this country and Germany,
there are many of us who resent the
feeling of love which the German
citizen shows for his relatives in the
old country and for the fatherland.
1t is wrong to disclose such sym
pathy. No intelligent person believes
for a minute that, in case of conflict
with Germany, any appreciate num-
Der of that nationality would turn
traitor to the flag of this country.
1t is extremely doubtful if the num-
Der would in any manner approach
the number of those in the North who
during the civil war would have aided
the South had they had both courage
and opportunity. The German loves
his fatherland. faithfully and ardent
ly, but there are very few instances
in history where the German has vio-
lated his oath because of his love.

When a public movement is start
ed to raise aid for the war sufferers
OF the allied powers it is greeted with
general acclaim. When a body of
Germans meet to aid their suffering
relatives their words of sympathy for
their countrymen, and their charity,
is too often criticised as evidence of
disloyalty to their adopted flag. Is
such attitude that of strict neutral

DUMMERSTON PLANT READY.
Expensive Repairs on Twin State Co. S
Power Station Nearly Completed -
New Machinery.

The West Dummerston power station
of the Twin State Gas & Electric Co.,
which has been out of commission for
almost year and half, has been re-
built sufficiently so that it can be used
for generating power as soon as there
is sufficient water in the West river.
The plant will be completed in short
time.
The underpinning of the plant was
washed out over q year ago to such an
extent that it became necessary to move
out the heavy machinery and almost
completely rebuild the entire power
house. Not only has the building been
rebuilt but the tail race has been fixed
so that it cannot fill up as it has in the
past, and power can be generated now
with much less water.
A new switch board has been in
stalled, new lightning arrcsters have
been put in and the generator has been
overhauled. A. new generator is ordered
and is to be added to the equipment in
December. With this installed the power
capacity of the plant will be doubled.
Whenever there is sufficient water in
the West river, which is good part
of each year, it will be possible to have
the West Dummcrston plant carry all
of the electrical load used in Brattlc-
boro except the power for the street
railway. With the second generator in
use it is expected that in an emergency
it will be possible to carry the entife
load of the town, including the streer
,.......,, s..... -
This will obviate a repetition of the
long period of darkness experienced
one night in July when lightning so
damaged the line of the Connecticut
River Power Co., leading from the pow
er station at Vernon to Brattleboro,
that it was impossible to furnish cleo
trio current to the greater part of
Brattlcboro for several hours.
In such an emergency, with the West
Dummerston plant in readiness for
operation, it will be possible to shift
from the Vernon plant to the West
/ Dummerston plant in five minutes.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
ALFRED DOW, 81, DEAD.
Formerly Was Postmaster and Promi-
nent Democrat.

Alfred Dow, 81, from 1894 to 1898
postmaster of Bellows Falls, died Thurs
day, August 81, about S.45 a. m. in
his home at the junction of Atkinson
and School streets. He had been in i'll
health several years and death was
caused by a general breakdown
brought on by old age. He was an old
time railroad man and for many years
was prominent in Democratic activities
in the town and state.
Mr.. Dow was born in Deering, N. H.,
in 1892, but his youth was spent in
Manchester, N. II. Leaving home soon
after attaining his majority he entered
the service of the Central Vermont

foreman of shipping and loading at
Burlington. He remained in that ca
pacity three or four years and then
became baggage master of the Central

ton. He held that position until 1859
or 1860, when he became conductor of
the sleeping car, the first one to run on
the route, between Rouscs Point. n
Y, and Boston. He was connected with
this branch of the service three years.
In the spring of 1863 Mr.. Dow was
appointed passenger conductor between
White River Junction and Bellows Falls
and for 30 years was well known by
the travelling public. He met with many
interesting experiences during these
years of service.
President Cleveland appointed him
postmaster here in 1894, which position
he held until 1898, when the admins
tration changed.
He was a member of King Solomon s
Temple lodge, f. and A. NJ, and
Abenaqui chapter, r. and S. NJ, of Bel
lows Falls, and of Hugh de Paycns com
mandery, X. r., of Keene. He was a
member of the Vermont consistory and
was 32d degree Mason.
He married Lydia A. Brown of
Manchester, N. H., in 1853. He leaves
three children, Mrs. o. II. Carpenter.
of Maiden. Mass, Mrs. William w.
Green, of Bellows Falls and George A.
Dow, of Bellows Falls.
The funeral was held at $50 clock

Santa Fe Will Not Comply with Meas

Supreme Court Decision.

President Ripley of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railway, declared
in formal statement Wednesday that
the Santa Fe does not intend to com

recently enacted by congress to avert
a threatened railroad strike until or
dered to do so by the United States SUI

lOws:-
Congress, hastily acting under a
threat Of four leaders of labor organiza-
tions, enacted so-called eight hour
law which is nothing more nor less than
an advance of 20 to 20 per cent in the
wages of the best pail men in the rail
way service. 1t is only fair to the public
and to our employees to say that the

company does not intend to comply with
the law until ordered to do so by the
