LOAL COAL SITUATION

Had the deep SHOWS of last winter
prevailed this year there would be
suffering today in many of the towns
of Nevada on account Of the difficulty
in securing cars Owing to lack OF
cars one of the biggest mines in
Utah was compelled to shut down
from about December I'D to Januar,
3D. While neighboring towns have
been clamoring for coal at any price
Ycrington has suffered no real incon-
whence. In Tonopah and Goldfeld
and even many of the towns on the
main lines of the railroads the price
of coal has been advanced by dealer.
to twenty dollars and upwards. The
price in Yerington has not been appre-
ciably advanced, although every car
that has been brought in by one Of
the dealers has been short from one
to five tons. AS this loss falls on
the dealers and is due to theft along
its route to the consumer, the people
of this community are unusually for
tunate that the price has not gone
to SIS or more In some of the cold
States the price has scared away
above the latter figure, as it has in
times past.

California is taking the lead among
States west of the Alleghanies tor
good road building. 1t has demon
strated that good roads can only be
made with machinery. Lyon County
has some good roads in comparison
with many other counties OF Nevada
They have been built without ma
chinery. A scrutiny of the amounts
expended on the roads, an inspection
of the roads on which work has been
expended, little study of the worl
that can be done with road machinery
and an investigation of its cost, will
bring surprising results. The time
has come when the methods employed
is a mere waste of money. Roads SC
built must be rebuilt, while well con
structed roads only need repairing.

DISPLAY THE FLAG.

Many army officers and visitors 10 our city have commented upon the un- usual indifference shown by our citi- 7ens in displaying our Flag over their homes and places of business. The towns and cities in the States are 9 mass of color; every citizen showing his love for the flag by flying one commensurate with his means for pur- commensurate with his means.
 It was suggested by prominent official yesterday that our citiZt lave their attention called to the facl that with the exception of the Colors displayed on the court house and the signal corps office, there is not an en- sign on display in our city.
 We believe our citizens are as pa triotic and loyal as any people on earth and that their assumed indiffer- tnce is caused by the lack of neces- yary material to erect fagpoles. To- day Contractor Crawford has had a force of men at work turning out a cheap, serviceable pole which can be nailed to any building, and which will last for years. Already he has sold a number to patriotic citizens, and has orders for many more.
 We nope by the end of the week to see our beloved emblem floating over every housetop in the city. It is the least we can do to show our loyalty and devotion to our country at this stage of the nations crisis.

THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE
 AT EMPRESS TOMORROW

The Battle Cry of Peace is so stu pendous a production that words fail to describe it's magnificence. Compar- ed to "Civilization," and other photo plays, it looms up like battleship along the ocean tug. It IS gorgeous. grand. awe-inspiriDg. magnificent It depicts the lurid horrors of war in so terrible an aspect that the most ar dent pacifist is converted to prepared ness. It shows the relative size of the United States and other countries in wealth and army and naval armament, and the contrast is so painful that it brings q leu:;ng Of shame to th0.,e Of us who have decried preparedness.
 The love story running through the films is good. and the climax, whCre the mo her Of once happy and pros porous home kills her two daughters to keep them from becoming dcapoil- ed by the merciless raiders brings q thrill of horror to the spectator.
 The film alone in this stupendous production is worth $3,O00, and con- sists of nine large reels of splendid photographic work. MT. Meals. the manager of the Empress states that this great opportunity to witness the Battle Cry of Peace will come .'ut once, as the picture will be shown tc- morro v night only.
 While prices in the States have run from 75 cents to $1.50 to see this lesson in preparedness. MT. Meals has decided to hold the price down to fifty cents in order that all may have a chance to see it.
 At the Empress theatre tomorrow night. If yol are pacifist come and be converted. If you are for prepar- edness, come and be ashamed that while this country has spent more for armament and military purposes than any European nation it makes rhe poorest showing.
