GREAT SUCCESS
Las Vegas Showed Great Out
burst of Patriotic Feeling
Saturday Last

The Las Vegas Patriots Day Dem
onstration last Saturday was a splendid
success. The people responded in q
stirring manner to the call to demon
strate to the nation that the spirit of
patriotism burns brightly in Las Vegas.
Probably 2, 500 people were in the flag
parade, men, women and children par
ticipating in the march. headed by
Governor Emmett d. Boyle and staff.
The school children formed a most at
tractive feature of the day. teachers
and pupils from the high school to the
kindergarten turning out. The Gram
mar School Boys Band, the City Band
and Fife and Drum Corps furnished
stirring patriotic music.
At the school house the Governor
and staff reviewed the parade AZ it
countermarched on Fourth street., after
which the big crowd massed in front of
the schoolhouse to listen to the mes
sage brought by the governor from the
government at Washington to the
people.
Governor Boyle made an address
which was a model of conciseness and
the people received entirely new ideas
of the grave situation in which our
country finds itself. He was listened
to with close attention and was inter
rupted by frequent bursts of applause.
Lieut.. Gov. Sullivan followed Gov
ernor Boyle with short address which
aroused great enthusiasm after which
the visiting officials mingled with the
crowd and greeted their many friends.
Governor Boyle was accompanied in
his visit to Vegas by Lieut.. Gov. Sui
ivan, VIM. Maxwell, r. B. Henrichs
and T. J. Salter, members of his staff,
and was joined here by Frank Williams
Of Goodsprings. also a member OF the
Governors staff. The visitors all ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased
with the splendid spirit in which the
people of Vegas had greeted them and
Joined in the demonstration of loyalty
to the nation. The Governor and party
left for the north Sunday morning.

Memorial Day

Wednesday May 80 is Memorial Day,
at which time it is customary to place
flowers upon the graves of the old
soldiers who have finished their earthly
marches and passed into the great un-
known.
There has been no general movement
to observe the day IN Las Vegas, al
though at this crisis in our national life
a proper observance of Memorial Day
would be particularly fitting.
The Grammar School Boys Band will
do their part by playing upon the
streets at 10 o'clock Memorial Day and
it is hoped that before that day ar
rangements will be completed by our
citizens to hold some formal exercises
appropriate to the occasion.

Why hot devote little space to the

RED CROSS DRIVE
GREAT SUCCESS

Approximately $500 new names
were added to the list Of Red Cross
workers during the recent drive, &C
cording to the. statement made by
President A. B. Witeher, and the
work is still going on. Certainly
this is an excellent showing and
proves conelusiyely that White Pine
county will continue to remain in
the front ranks in all such worthy
causes until this great world war is
won. At McGill alone 1859 names
have been added and the smelter
city Is certainly entitled TO great
credit for the work it has accom-
plished. Such demonstrations can
not fail to encourage our boys at
the front, and while they are there
ready to sacrifice their lives II need
be let us all at least give them the
consolation that we at home are
ready and willing to back them up
In every way and while not in the
danger zone We will not shirk In any
duty that may rest upon US here.

COAST ARTILLERY TO BE
REPLACED by HOMEGUARD

The coast artillery boys who have
been stationed at McGill for some
time expect to leave for sections
where their services can be used to
better advantage and they will be
replaced by a home guard. for the
purpose of organizing. for which
purpose Captain E. F. Perego of the
coast artillery, is here. as stated in
the News last Sunday.
During the time that the ~organiza-
ton is being perfected and the men
drilled in the work 1t is believed the
state police will be reinforced.
The plan of guarding home inter-
ests by a home guard is meeting
with general favor throughout the
country. The regular men are badly
needed at different points and nc
doubt our interests can be just as
we'll served by a guard organized
here. The men for this work will
be selected from those who are OF
within the draft age and upon them
will rest the great bur den of pro-
tecting our industries at this time.
