X has prosperity and is deter
mined to maintain it. But
prosperity has not temporarily OBJ
scured patriotism, as in some other
states. With an average Of two good
Jobs to the man, Nevada was the
first state to fill its quota for the reg
Llar army volunteers. After the
quota was filled its men kept right on
enlisting.
People who are always insistent on
discovering a rule for every incident
might conclude that there is a def
mite relation between booze and mill
tary ardor, inasmuch as Nevada Is
probably the "widest-open" state in
the Union. In respect to cafes with
cabaret auxiliaries Broadway is only
one hour behind Reno, but a straight
saloon is permitted to flourish all
highland it does. 1t is sorrowfully
admitted by the Nevada League of
Industries that open gambling has
been abolished, but on the other
hand, the word open" in this asso-
citation has a meaning of its own in
Nevada.
There is nothing TO keep a dozer

is generally held that placard over
a BLACK Jack" table announcing that

though in practice the passing con-
sists Of all the outsiders passing the
deal back to the salaried professional
who presides.
Whatever the speculatively in
clined may argue as to the relation
between unrestricted facilities for ac-
curing strong drink and eagerness
to enlist, the United Industries of
Nevada entertain no doubts as TO the
relation between prosperity and the
vide open saloon. 1t appears that
certain foolish people are so short
sighted as to wish to destroy the
states abundant prosperity by cut
ting it off at its source. So, with
the slogan Personal Liberty" the
league is on the job to protect the
houptiful saloon

as its membership certificates pro-

rndisputed divorce metropolis, but it
doubtless favors leaving we'll enough

town of $4,000 is not to be treated

mark about Nevada, but here goes:
"All Nevada needs" said Mark. "is
little water and a little good So
ciety. But then" he added, after a
moments pause, that is all hell

Some observers might be inclined
TO attribute Nevada's prosperity to
successful mining activity, which has
teen largely stimulated by the war.
With silver almost on the sacred val

LIFE AND TRAINING IN NAVY
IN ATTRACTIVE FIELD FOB
THE YOUNG MEN OF TO-DAY

Fathers and mothers. there is no
better school for your boy than the
United States navy. His mental,
moral, physical, and spiritual train
ing is constantly looked after
This statement is literally true, but
the truth is realized by but few. The
change in the manners, physique and
appearance of recruits. wrought by
six months of training at one of our
naval training stations is very mark
e6. and in some case, extraordinary.
The life is healthful, the food is the
best the government can purchase,
every ounce of it having to pass the
inspection of a naval food inspector
before it is accepted. The gain of
weight and stamina under the regular
regime is remarkable in the cases of
most boys.
If such a system could be applied
in all the schools of the country, the
gain in the state in the increased eff
ficiency of the existing generation of
boys would be worth many times the
cost invilved and do much towards
Welding the many mixed elements of
our population into an American
whole.
On the average, only 10 or IS per
cent of all men who apply for enlist
ment are accepted. A reasonably
high standard of requirement is main
tanned and only good men are taken.
A man is rejected just as quickly on
his character as he is for physical de-
fects.
The material advantages offered by
the navy compare favorably with the
best offered by civilian life to the
class of men who enlist
Intoxicating liquor is not allowed
on any ship of the navy nor in any
of the shore station. Alcoholism has
declined greatly in the past few years,
the conditions of life on board our
battleships have greatly improved
and the drunkenness of the past would
not be toleroted now.
United Ssates naval training
stations are located at New Port, R.
l.. Norfolk, Va, San Francisco, Cal,
and Great Lakes, Ills, near Chicago,
the latter one just being completed at
cost of $4,000 900. All men
vino enlist are sent Immediately to
one Of these stations and are kept
there, under training for six months

ARMY OF CIVILIZATIONS TO

] TULSA, Okla. Oct 1.-The grand
Army of Civilization will grow from
one unit in this city to include thous-
ands of units all over that part of the
world now allied against the Central
Powers and will be such a social and
fraternal organization of men who
fought in the great war as the Grand
Army of the Republic is of men who
fought in the Union armies during the
War Between the States. Colonel Clar
ence B. Douglas, general secretary of
the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce, is
the originator of the plan, and he hopes
to see the new organization realized
within few years. Col. Douglas came
to the city yesterday from Atlantic

sion, and he was enthusiastic about the

In addition to these training stat
ions there are countless number of
trade schools maintained by the navy
department, where trades of all kinds
can be learned, at Newport, R. l. In
addition to the regular training
station for apprentice seamen there
there is the bookkeepers school, cooks
and bakers school at Norfolk, Va;
the carpenters, black smiths, plumb
ers, metal workers, painters, musici-
ans, and boiler makers school at New
York; the electrical school where it is
taught in all forms, at Charleston, S.
C.
Last year 10000 men passed
through the courses of training at the
above school, On an average there
are about $500. men in training at
Newport, and about 1900 at each of
the other training stations. Most of
these men are abut Is years of age.
100 men from the ranks are sent
every year to the Naval Academy att
Annapolis, Md, to be made commisy

ing been completed only recently at
cost af about 100000. Any enlist

has served one year, can take tle

required examination the candidate
is admitted to the Academy bearing
the title of midshipman, and heIis
paid by the government $500 per an
