tHiEh School Cadets,

America In living In an age. and
under a condition of high patrio-
tic excitement which Is new TO
most Americans. Not since the
days OF the Spanish American war
has anything like the present feel.
ing for this nation OF ours surged
through the hearts OF the people,
old and young. We are reaping
the rewards of war; the forget.
ting OF selfish ends and the turn
ing to higher ideals. II is entirely
proper that people should be
awakened occasionally (even BY
the rough heavy hand of war; and
told that the nation has a living
soul. These are the cleansing
waves that sweep periodically
across the face of the earth; that
purify the soil and the things
that live on the soil. Remiss
indeed is the institution today
which does not feel its pulse beats
quickened by a feeling of patriot
ism. Remiss indeed is the school
which goes only along its wonted
path and reaps no reward from the
harvest of Democracy today being
reaped.
The uniforms of the high school
cadets have been ordered and will
arrive in the course OF a couple
of week. Within two or three
weeks then the much talked OF
military ball will be held. The
plans are daily growing into
something which now bids fair to
end in an unforgetable event for
Elko. 1t has been proposed that
the city of Elko have a holiday
on the afternoon of the ball and
that the town fall into line with
the high school boys in a patriotic
parade. The women who are en-.
deavoring TO organize the branch
of the National Red Cross organl-
zation in Elko (and who will
surely succeed) are highly elated
over the proposed opportunity of
falling into the national patriotic
line. The grammar school stu
dents too are drilling under the
direction of Mr.. Martin and are
today very enthusiastic over the
proposition. Let the town join in
singing America.
Honors for the High School Cadets
The uniforms for the high
school cadets will be composed
of khaki shirts and pants. canvas
leggings. a ranger hat with a
crest in front bearing a cross
guns with an eagle and the letters
H. S. c.
An examination will be given
those OF the company Monday who
desire to try out for corporals.
Promotion to this rank will de.
pend upon the following:
l. Efficiency in examination of
Military tactics.
2. General school efficiency.

I. Election by members OF the
company.
From those who try out next
Monday ten win be elected by the
company to be corporals. The
faculty members Of the company
will select the sergeants from this
e list. The regular emblems used
by corporals and sergeants will
be worn upon the arms OF these
non-commissioned officers. No
commissions will be granted till
the. cadets are better drilled.
Besides these non-commission-
honors other company honors. as
follows will be granted:
L. A red band of silk one inch
long to be worn aon the left

2. A red and white double stripe
band of silk, one inch long. to
be worn on left breast. g

The basis for granting these

A corporal must have been

A sergeant must have been

Two of the three men members
OF the faculty will act as com.

These two will be changed from
time to time so that no member
of the company will ever know
who the two members of the COM
mittee are.
Let the town. get behind the
cadets for one grand patriotic
afternoon and evening. Besides
dancing the evening will be, given
over to patriotic talks by mem

FLAW PICKED in

PLAN OF senate

tive Powers Contrary to
the Organic Act

According TO Attorney General !. NJ.
Stainback, the plan proposed by the
senate ways and means committee
for an emergency fund TO take the
place Of the governors contingent
fund is illegal =. 49,. ..
Stainback expressed his belief today
that Senator Baldwin's bill to provide
for the families Of national guardsmen
is In the same category. Both plans
are alike in that they place the dis
tribution Of funds in the hands OF the
treasurer and the heads Of the finance
committees of the two houses.
Stainback said today that while he
has not studied the question very
fully he Is of the belief that both
plans are out of joint with the Or
ganic Act. ... .
''The members of the legislature
can make laws but they cannot exc
cute them" he says, and In these
plans these two men are placed clear.
ly in control OF territorial funds. 1t
is mixing of executive and legisla-
tive powers.
Also, this distributing committee is
practically board, and all boards
must be appointed by the governor
according to the Organic Act The
only appointments the legislature is
allowed to make are of Officers neces-
sary to enable II to discharge duties

Circuit Judge e. w. Ashford. father
Of the blu, pointed out that. In the
opinion OF the club, the traffic should

Il would be from these persons only

At GOLF CLUB

Some day, provided the weather
clears up and we all live and Major
Winston lives and nothing happens,
that distinguished gentleman is
coming up to Marietta. When he
gets here ne is going to be shown
a good time and the site that Md
rietta offers for the location of that
army training camp.
The plans have been made The
golf club mas rendered the use of
the club house and anything else
it possesses to be used to entertain
Major Winston and when he does
come up, he will be given lunch
con at the club. All this is simply
waiting on the weather as Major
Winston is waiting on the word
from Marietta to come up. 1t may be
today and it may be after the war,
but it all must wait on the weather.
In the meantime everybody is plan
ming to do what they can when he
comes.

owning to loss of interest on de-
layed payments, the Fund would
not have quite five million to start
with. So there came forward a
generous man about the first Of
February who gave $325,vOO to
cover the amount needed. His
name will be given later.
In the very beginning several
men made gifts to cover all office
expenses incident to the gathering
of the gifts. So the above amount
is net. The thing speaks for it.

In other words 100000 was to be
the minimum.
This is undoubtedly the geatest
thing ever done by the church. 1t
will probably mean more for its fu-
ture welfare. 1t is simply wonder
full to have raised that amount in
one year.
