Thursday-"The Unwelcome Moth
err" This story is different than the
title would have one believe. A rough
sailor gets through a form of mar
riage with girl and then leaves her
saying he will be back some day. She
is taken care of by rich widower,
who eventually marries her. His chill
dren do not want her there and she
opens the door to leave and finds the
sailor awaiting her. She then tells
the whole story and is allowed to
choose with which man she will stay.

TO THE PEOPLE
OF ELKO COUNTY

The Elko County Red Cross chapter
is now actively engaged in making
hospital garments, dressings. band
ages. etc, for the benefit of our
wounded soldiers. The only available
funds for the purchase of material for
these supplies is one half OF the an
nual membership dues. This amounts
to fifty cents for each member The
chapter has already expended this en-.
tire fund in the purchase OF material
and the new membership applications
are so few tlat they do not anywhere
near meet the requirements 1t is.
therefore, necessary to provide some
means for raising enough money to
enable the chapter to keep an ample
supply OF material on hand for its
regular work. We estimate that at
least $4,000 month is necessary for
this purpose.
The personal voluntary monthly
| subscription plan has been decided
upon as the means for raising this
money. Just as soon as you have read
this notice make up your mind how
much you can give each month. send It
ut once to the chapter secretary, Mrs.

w. N. Wiley, of Metropolis. is in
Elko today. He came here primarily
to appear before the board OF county
commissioners to present plan for
teaching in our public schools of the
forms OF government of all the princi,
pal countries. with the object OF Great
ing a greater and high form of patriot
ism In the rising generation. BY his
plan the child would learn the benefits
of democracy over an autocratic gov
eminent and would therefore more
greatly appreciate the blessings OF our
splendid government. 1t is the opin.
ion OF mary that the superficial pa,
triotism or the lack OF patriotism that
is now observed in this country is
principally due TO a defective school
system. IL is very evident that dur
ms the last quarter of a century that
proper patriotic sentiments have no;
been instilled into the minds of the
youth. 1t took an occasion OF this
kind TO bring this fact iorcefully to
our attention. Now that we have
made the discovery we must immedi.
ately take STEPS to correct It,

MARKING PIXIES
PEAK HIGHWAY

Ofticial Marker-The official marker
Is an enameled steel sign of Is guage
metal, 14x20 in size. 1t is to be set
and mounted on a separate post, dis
tinct from other markers or signs. IL
is recommended that a Axe post be
used, and that the lower edge uf the
sign be four feet above ground; that
red and white bands corresponding 10
the pole markings, each ten inches in
width, be placed Immediately below
the marker, the remainder of the pole
below the red and white bands being
painted dark green color; two coats
OF paint to be used for all these col
ors. II is recommended that portion
of post which is TO be set on the
ground be dipped in creosote. The
markers are TO be fastened to the
posts with brass screws, not nails.
The official marker is to be placed
at each entrance to each down along
the highway, and also at intervals not
greater than five miles along the way.
Whenever possible, one or more mark.
ers should be set at prominnt places
within cities and towns. In selecting
the exact spot for the marker post,
care should be exercised to see that It
Is given conspicuous position.
Pole Marking-The official pole.
marking consists of red and white
bands each ten inches in width. These
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1917-08-07

bands are to be placed on not less
than four poles at each turn or cross
road. and care should be taken that
the marking at these places is so con-
distance before the turn or crossroad
is reached: and also that II is so plain.
~ done that il leaves no doubt in the
mind of the traveller as to the right
road. Between turns it is urged that
every telephone pole along the high
way be painted. and that in the alb
sence of telephone or other poles for
any considerable distance, fence posts,
rocks or other objects, be marked. 81
1t is not feasible to paint every pole.
1t is strongly recommended that at
least every fifth pole be painted, even
where there is no possible chance
that the traveller may lose his way.
Particularly il is important that the
poles through the town be accurately
and carefully painted; and at least
two poles in every town block should
be painted.
The red band comes above the
white band. and the lower edge OF
the white band should not be less than
five feet above the ground. Two coats
of paint are required. 1t is not con
sidered practicable for the association
to specify any particular brand, but il
is suggested that a shade of rec
matching color used in the printing o.
the folder be used. II is important
that the color OF red be uniform; ant
care should be used TO avoid an orange
or light red, in favor of a dark oil
maroon shade.
Danger Danger signs consist
OF the word Danger" in red letters
on white background; the sign to be
of the same material as the marker
and to be only at places where there
Is actual danger.
State Markings-It il understood
that the marking of the Pixies Peak
ocean-to.occan highway is supplement
tai to any system Of marking adopted
by the various state divisions, except
that each state is required TO mark

day. have aroused the suspicious OF
his relatives that his death did not re-
suit from natural causes and his son,

make an investigation of his fathers
DEATH The request has been referred
to the office'of the attorney general at
Boise by the county attorney.
According to the statement of DR..
Thomas d. Farrar of this city, county
physician. the marks and bruises
found on the body were either received
enroute to the Blackfoot asylum, where
the deceased was committed some two
weeks ago by the probate court for
this county, or after his arrival at
that institution. DIR. Farrar declares
that he carefully examined Stahl be-
fore his departure for Blackfoot and
also examined his body yesterday at
Nampa. file states that it is possible
the bruises could have been self in
flcted.
From the office of DR.. Smith of
Nampa, it is learned that he is i'm
pressed that the bruises were of re-
cent origin, because of blood clots hav-
ing this indication. The death Of
Stahl occurred at Blackfoot Sunday.
The bruises and marks on the body of
the dead man were on the head, nose
and ears.
