SOCIETY TAKES A HAND AT
INSTRUCTION OF NAVY COOKS

Many prominent society women, led
by Mrs. Adrian Iselin. have given up
social activities in order to teach
sailors how to cook. Mrs. Iselin,
writing in the November issue of
Harper's Bazaar, tells how, through
her New York cooking school, these
women are training able seamen to
prepare food properly. and are rap
idly lessening the shortage of capable
chefs in the navy. Rear Admiral
Usher. L. s. ~. has co-operated with
Mrs. Iselin and has indorsed her work.
The men learn very quickly. In fact
Admiral Usher says: without this
aid Ii would have been difficult mat
ter for us to supply sufficient num-

vessels in the district and to the

A NEWSPAPER FROM HOME;
SAILOR BOY SAYS IT'S GREAT

When the trainload of jackies and
marines flooded Winnemucca streets
this morning, one bright-faced young
fellow, carrying a small folding CAM
era, and with fountain pen hitched
inside the collar of his blouse, stoppe j
before the admiring slaves standing
in the doorway of The Silver State
office and began searching into the
depths of an invisible pocket
SAY I want to give you folks this
clipping" he remarked. in an off-hand
manner. The fellow who wrote this
knew what he was talking about, bet
cherlifei"
The clipping was an extract from
Richard Henry Dana's 1.-TWO Years
Before the Mast" 1t reads:
after all, there is nothing in a
strange land like a newspaper from
home. Even letter in many respects
is nothing in comparison with it. 1t
carries you back to the spot better
than anything else"
Great dopei" said the sailor man.
1t is well to bear this in mind when
in doubt as to what will be best ap-
preciated by the boys in Uncle Sam
training camps, or who have gone
"over there" "a newspaper from
home" never, in Dana's peaceful ex-
perience, would have been so much
appreciated as it is at present.

HE BOUGHT $4,000 LIBERTY
BONDS, AND is NOT PROUD

Speaking of Liberty Bonds: During
the recent drive several investors
were boasting of the amounts they
had put in, anywhere from $50 to
$1,000. There is a modest little man
who has said nothing, but when asked
how much faith he had in the loan.
quietly remarked: Il bought $25,000
worth, and l am not deserving any
credit, either, for it is the very best
investment l know"
The gentleman is Mr., Richard Clan
Vile, who two years ago sold his
ranch on Clear creek to the Ellison
Ranching Company for $4,000 and is
now living in this city, where he ex-
poets to spend his declining years in
comfort after a strenuous struggle OF
some seventy years.

''HER EXCELLENCY THE Gov
ERN0R" is PLAY OF POLITICS

Wilfred Lucas and Elda Millar, Tri-
Triangle play, Her Excellency the
Governor at the American theatre
tonight. This piece is the work of
Robert Shirley and was produced un-
der the supervision of Allan Dwan
Elda Millar, as Sylvia Marlowe. is an
attractive young lawyer, who is prom
inently identified with suffrage. James
Barclay, the Governor, played by Will
fred Lucas, is decidedly in love with
Sylvia, having known her since his
college days. He asks her to marry
him, but is refused, not because she
does not care for him, but because
she senses that Barclays political as
pirations and life are changing his
character and destroying his ideals.
Keller. a crooked politician, is Bar
clay's backer, whose influence has
practically put him where he is. A
'child-labor law is up for approval.
and Sylvia gets Barclays promise to
pass ii. Under the thumb of Keller,
however, he is forced to veto it. Syi-
via is incensed and breaks with him.
Being allied with the suffrage party,
she is put on the reform ticket for
governor and is elected
after an active campaign. In the mo-
ment of Barclays greatest temptation
she is equal to her position and saves
him from a disgrace that he was
bringing on himself.

They advanced warily. The regular
troops, under Colonel Boyd, headed
the little column; the militia followed {;
Spier Spencer's "Yellow Jackets" trot-
ted at the left, the Vincennes horse
men at the right; 10 Daviess' Ken
lucky dragons brought up the rear.
The boats conveying the supplies
were left at blockhouse hastily con-
structed at point 25 miles north Of
Fort Harrison; and at noon of Novem-
Der 6 they came into view of the hum
dreds Of tepees which made up the
Prophets town. Less than one thou
sand strong, they had ventured to the
Indian stronghold, where 1000 braves
were assembled; all along their march
they had been exposed to attack; and
now, as they marched resolutely for
ward, the red warriors began to pour
out like angry bees from hive.
The column halted and parley took
place. Angrily the Indians inquired
the meaning of the army's advance
did they intend to attack? Harrison
shook his head; he wished merely to
encamp that night and to confer with
the Prophet in the morning; there
should be no hostilities. The chiefs
grunted, pacified, and the army, wheel
ing a mile to the northwest, made
camp upon a wooded plateau, along
whose abrupt declivity on the west
there ran a little creek, called Tippe-
canoe. The regular troops pitched
their tents; the militia, shivering in
the raw November dusk, without tents,
were forced to build great fires, around
which they huddled upon their arms.
A rain began falling; and the night,
cheerless, bitterly cold, shrouding in
blackness whatever advance the saw
ages might make, closed in on them.

CHAPTER XII.
"Yankee Doodle Dandy"

AS the end of the hurrying file Of
savages vanished into the woods David
stole back toward the glade where Ike
lay. He had gone but three miles
on his quest for help when his anxiety
for Ike's safety had overcome him and
he turned back. He had nearly reached
the spot when he caught sight of the
last two warriors of the party, and
Toinette between them; and even as
his blood stopped in his veins at the
vision, the two warriors overlook the
advance guard and disappeared from
view among the trees.
The blood pounded wildly in Da-
vid's temples, and like a madman he
rushed to the side of the deliriOus man.
"Ike!" he whispered hoarsely; "Toi-
;; nette didn't you see them pass?"
But Blackford only moaned pite-
ously; and David sank to his knees,
and, as gently as woman, bathed the
parched forehead of the unconscious
man. AS he watched Blackford, su-
