Our Flag

Yes, it's your flag and my flag,
The flag for the loyal and brave,
No traitors hand shall touch it,
Forever let it wave.
The flag our fathers fought for
Shall ever wave on high,
And fiutter and dance in the morning
breeze
AS it floats in the morning sky.
Then take off your hats to the banner
AS on high you see its CLEAN,
With its stripes of red which say, "Be
brave"
in the white Of the clouds soft beam
Then, mother don't let your son be one
Who wears yellow tag,
And pray to God who is always right
For your Home and Land and Flag

GERMAN ADVICE---BUT GOOD

With Americans just entering a
war that may be in progress four
years from this time, with millions
of Americans in the smoke and fire
of the fighting fronts, it may help
some to reprint for American use
the COUNSEL that the Germafn gov
eminent gave the American people
soon after the outbreak of the war.
These seven injunctions were posted
throughout Germany.
Boil your potatoes with the jack
cts on. To peel them first is very
wasteful.
Eat less meat and more fresh
fruit; the meat we can save while
the fruit will not keep.

LOOK OUT FOR HUMPTY
DUMPTY

Save the eggs. According to a bull
letin received at this office. seventeen
per cent of all those laid are lost by
breakage, partly Matching or being
kept too long. The loss of seventeen
good eggs out of every one hundred
is too great. According to the bulle-
tin there should be an effort made to
produce eggs of a uniform size. They
should be carefully graded, and they
should not be permitted to spoil. The
water glass method is the best for
preserving, and the limewater method
comes next.

.DODGING THE RESPONSIBILITY

(From Oshkosh Northwestern)
The action of Governor Philip in
notifying the legislature that he is
unwilling to sign the dry referendum
bill in it's present form appears to be
nothing short of an effort to "strad-
die" this issue-tO carry water on
both shoulders for the sake of political
advantage to himself. The governor
tries to carry the inference that he
is not opposed to the principle in
volved, but he makes it quite plain
that he would like to evade the re-
sponsibility which has been put up
to him. He suggests withdrawal Of
the bill and various amendments to
make the latter more cceptable to
him, at the same time advising de-
lay in the actual referendum to the
people of the state. And the gist of
his objections lie in the claim that it
would be uwise to prohibit the manu-
facture of intoxicants in this state, to
be sold in other states where this
trade is permitted; that this will
throw many persons out of employ
ment and eliminate a prolific source
of taxes; and, finally, that it is an IN
fair encroachment on personal liberty
to attempt to regulate in the homes
the use of homemade wine, cider and

When that same oak goes blissfully
or. regardless Of how the little acorns
fare, ordinarily the vine does not trail
a great while, but steps bravely into
the breach, and with the needle, the
wash tub, or in some self-forgetful
way, feeds and educates the little
vines and acorns that she loves more
than her ease-more than all else.
Conditions are all wrong when
women are compelled to work and

While few women approve in the
principle of war, the patriotism OF
women during war is a matter Of gen
eraI knowledge. At the present time
the statement is made that the far
west, the home of equal suffrage, has
sent about 80 per cent of it's quota of
volunteers for the army, the middle
states, the home of partial suffrage, IS
per cent, and the eastern states about
10 per cent.

similar drinks, arguing that this would
be the effect of the bill as now framed.
All of which reminds one Of the old
saying: "I'm your friend but" The
governor, in other words, has done
just what the liquor interests most de-
sired-he has played into their hands
in a splendid manner, and has done
it in an adroit, underhanded manner,
calculated to avert the suspicion that
his real purpose is to defeat either the
will of the legislature or of the people
of the state 1t would have been
more frank, more honest, more like
the governor in most of his other deal
ings with public business, had he
openly announced his personal oppo-
sition to dry referendum, and thus
left it to the legislators to either sup
port his convictions or override them.
AS it is he has thrown the whole cues
ton back on the legislature for anoth-
er prolonged wrangle, while he has
managed to temporarily wash his
hands Of all responsibility. And tits
impossible to evade the suspicion that
politics is back of the stand he has
taken-the governor is attempting to
please both sides, without taking the
risk Of openly offending either.
The point of the whole question is
whether the people of Wisconsin IA
vor statewide prohibition and the
abandonment of the manufacture of
intoxicants in this state. The issue
was clearly drawn in the bill passed
by the. Legislature and sent to the gov
ernor for his approval or rejection.
The governor should stand UP to the
rack and either sign or veto this
measure, thereby letting the people
know where he stands.

GAMBLING

To play cards for money is gam
bling.
To shake dice for cigars is gam
bling.
To play pool for the loser to pay is
gambling.
To rattle a quilt, watch, typewriter
buggy or automobile is gambling.
To turn the roulette wheel with
bright lights burning is likewise gam
bling.
For the United States to hold a
land drawing on a reservation is gam
bling.
The state and federal governments
have nassed laws against gambling
and holding lotteries, yet Uncle Sam
INDUCES in the pleasant pastime. The
postoffice department will not permit
a newspaper to go into the mail II
the paper contains an advertisement
of rattle. Newspapers do get into the
mail with such notices, but it is
against the law, and the proprietor
isliable. 1t is a poor rule that does
not work both ways, and yet it seems
to work but one way for the average
citizen. Uncle Sam does not want
the notice printed that Quincy Quick
took the first prize at card party
yet is glad to get all the free adver
Using he can for land drawing. A

IF RUSSIA GOES OUT

There has been much speculation
about Russia making a separate peace
with Germany. The Central Powers
are doing all they can to persuade the
Russian bear to yield to peace terms
and with half an eye one can see what
would follow
Great stores of food would be liber-
ated in Russia to be shipped to cen
trail Europe and this would prolong
the war. Not only would the Russian
wheat feed the German army, but the
munition plants would be kept busy
night and day.
Great armies would be liberated,
something like three million men, and
these would be sent to the western
front. This would mean that the
United States must take more active
part in the war.
On the other hand, if Russia yields,
Japan may become active and Russia,
no doubt, still remembers the war of
a few years ago. When Russia takes
a second thought she may not be in a
hurry. to go out 1t will be real war

do not know how to cook corn prod

MORE FUNDS NEEDED FOR
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
More Than $50, 900 Will BE Required
To Purchase Site, Build and
Properly Equip

Mr.. Lewis, representative of the
architectural firm of Wilson & Eager,
who have been selected as the archi-
teets for the proposed new high
school, the bonds for which were
voted at the recent election, arrived
in Fallon last week In his confer
ence with the Board of Education.
Mr.. Lewis made it plain that with
the sum of S50,000 at their disposal
il would be impossible to purchase
a site, build and equip high school
building at all commensurate with
present needs, to say nothing of pro-
yiding for the inevitable growth and
ion that almost double the amount
would be needed to carry out the
original plans of the Board of Edu-
cation providing for future conting-
gencies.
II is unfortunate that the Board
did not have the benefit of the ad-
vice of an architect before fixing the
amount of the bond issue. But did
not feel that they were warranted
in employing expert advice to furn-
ish estimates in advance of an au-
thorization from the people to so
ahead with the plans.
However, the people of Churchill
county are not niggardly in their
support of the public schools and can
safely be relied upon to respond
willingly to any reasonable demand
upon them in this connection where
II can be shown that the funds pro-
vided will be properly expended and
that halfway measures are really
the most expensive in the long run.
The only way out of the present
dilemma lies In the legislature which
may. by special act, permit a county
to issue bonds at special election
Meanwhile the Board of Educa-
ton has instructed Mr.. Lewis to pro-
ceed with his estimates and plans
giving estimates on what can be done
for the $4,000 already provided for
in the bond issue and also on what
is necessary to carry out the origi-
nal program When these estimates
are prepared the public will be Civ
en- full information of what is neces
sary if there is to be any improve
ment over the present cramped and
inadequate facilities.
Within the next couple of weeks
a model of the proposed building will
be placed on public exhibition. The
selection of the site has not yet been
made, but 1t is the intention of the
Board to invite public discussion OF
all phases of the situation before a
choice is made.

The action taken means big
step forward for the Truckee-Carson
project. The way has been paved
for securing an effective organiza-
ton of water users through which
they can properly be represented on
all questions connected with the con-
duct of project business, through
which the much needed adequate
drainage system may be secured, and
through which it will be possible to
make arrangements that should lift
from the shoulders of water users
the burden of high interest rates.

zation stands first in Importance

in sight for this section during 1917.

GOVERNOR BOYLE SENDS
MESSAGE TO GOV. JOHNSON
Senator keddie Acts as Pilot to Car
across Sierras Via the
Northern Route.

A Chevrolet car sent out by the
S. +. Examiner and bearing mes
sage from Governor Johnson to Gov
ernor Boyle arrived in Carson from
Sacramento after being nearly q
fortnight enroute. The object of the
trip was to demonstrate the necessi-
ty for q military road travelable at
all seasons of the year between the
two States.
The route taken by the California
car was that via Bakersfield, the
Tehachipi pass and up the eastern
slope of the Sierras On the arrival
of the scout car at Carson steps were
Immediately taken to answer the
message of the Governor of Califor-
MIA by taking the northern route via
Quincy and the Feather river canyon.
Senator w. A. Keddie, who is famil-
lar with every inch of the country
to be traversed, accompanied the
party in the capacity of pilot.
The car left Carson at 3 p. m.
Saturday afternoon and Senator Ked-
die announced that he expected to
land in Sacramento by Monday after
noon.
All arrangements were made for
the publicity end of the trial, a NOV
ing picture being made of the start,
showing Governor Boyle handing his
reply to Senator Keddie who will
convey it TO Governor Johnson. Sim
liar arrangements will be made for
the reception of the party at Sacra-
mento and the pictures will be shown
on the screen in the moving picture
theatres of the two states at later
date.
Senator Keddie and party arrived
at Sacramento at 9:40 Monday morn
ing, having been AZ hours en- route,
26 of which were consumed in actual
travel.
