receive this letter from Private
Keele. The Roll of Homer" refer
red to was furnished from the Of

Carson City, and applied only to
those men who registered for the
selective draft; which accounts for
the absence of Private Keele's name
from the list. Not having been pre-
viously advised of his enlistment. the
Record had no means OF knowing
of the Panaca boys movements and
manifestations of loyalty to his
country

HIGH School Progress
Reported From Panaca
(By u Faculty Member)

The Lincoln County High school
opened for registration September
4th. Owing to the war, the draft.
and the scarcity of labor. we had an
ticipated that we would not have
nearly so many students as we did
last year. However, we were very
much surprised when we found that
the number of students enrolled
was not far short of last years reg
istration. We note that number OF
students did not return this year,
but so far as we have learned, not
a single one of these have entered
another school; but that they are
all working at home or for some
company. We Judge, then, that
these students either could not at
tend school owing to the high cost
Of living, or else obtained good Jobs
The work being done Is far bet
ter than that OF the previous two
years, The standard Of work is bet
ter, attitude Is better, and industry
is noted on every hand.
AT recent faculty meeting II
was decided to make mention of hon
or students. 1t was decided that all
students receiving no mark below
B should be classed as honor stud
ents. We are very pleased to re-
port that for the past six weeks the
following students have been plac-
ed upon the honor list:
Freshmen-Wilma Butler, Mary
Danvers, Reta Keele. Ada Mathews.
Beulah Wadsworth.
SOphmOres-Sarah Hollinger.
SeniOrs-Pansie Mathews
Value Of letters:--A 95, B plus So
80. b IS. B minus, SO-84.
4 The above named students then
are classed as having the best all
around record In the school for the
J past six weeks.
The following students received
one or more marks of A grade Will
ma Butler, Hazel Lee, Frank Will
cox, Edward Freudenthal Sarah
Hollinger, Joe Kahn, Ada Syphus,
Marion Stewart, Alton Mathews.
Sarah Hollinger leads the school
in the number of A marks received
She is also classed as an honor stud
ent for having all her work in the
B and A grades. Wilma Butler
stands second in school scholarship:
all of her work Is of B and A grade.
y Friday, October 10, will be inia-
ton day for freshmen. who at that
time will enter into complete mem
bership in the school by. conform
ing to the days program.

YOU ask them the same questions
which they fill out on the registration
blanks. What the reference company
really does is collect registration lee
of from 81 to $3.50. They also tell
the business men that whether they
find YOU a helper or not, there is no
cost to you. Certainly not, the busi-
ness men of today are not going to
stand by and be robbed, but how about
the applicants? Whether they get
them a position or not, they are out
their registration fee, and If they DO
get them position, they pay gooo,
big commission on 1t, from 20 per cent
to SIS per cent of the months salary
Then they demand immediate pay
ment of this commission, so that II
the applicant finds the work too much
for them or the employer Is not suited,
they must pay all over again for an
other position.
Why should the reference COM
panies reap fortune from someone
else misfortune? One of us has PAID
over 81 into these places and has not
been benefited by it and cannot get
this money back. Another girl friend
of ours working at a position secured
through one of these agencies, went
back to them and told them that she
did not like the position and asked
them to get her another. The refer
ence company called up the manager
and told him that the girl did not like
the place and asked If they could not
furnish him with another girl. Need
less to say that the girl was dis
charged. TWO VICTIMS.

Of the pioneers in the movement for good roads

be a good idea for someone to dictate in the
matter. There is unanimity Of opinion about
roads. but very few people can agree on Just how
they should be built. Also, some people are
probably sincere. in the belief that Uncle Sam
should. not interfere and put federal money for

Discussing Wilson'S Peace Plans.

Senators OF the United States have tacitly
agreed not to devote any Of the precious remain
ing time to formal discussion of the proposals
made in the peace address of President Wilson
This decision will be applauded by the country
at large, for it will permit more careful consid-
Grafton Of the really vital matters that must be
given attention between this time and the 4th Of
March Not that universal peace is not of prime
importance to the United States for it is, but the
question as presented in the presidents address
is not Immediately pressing In course OF the
informal discussion before the senate on the
CumnIns resolution, before it was sent to the
calendar, several serious obstacles to the course
suggested for this country were brought to view.
These were not presented in spirit OF narrow
partisanship, but to indicate the difficulties that
must be overcome before the United States can
enter on the program Of benehcent activity
limited at by Mr.. Wilson. Even should the senate
be willing to cooperate with the president, and
under the constitution the senate is the real
treaty making power Of this country, it is yet
needed that agreement be reached on a number
of details that will be troublesome unless settled
in advance. In good season the debate will come
and the public will be enlightened on the actual
methods Of securing peace and how far the
United States can safely become involved in
European politics.

Testimony by leader among the makers of
moving picture films that the STARS" get all the
earnings Of the industry indicates the predicament
in which the producers find themselves as result
Of their own methods. Recently it has been the
custom Of these purveyors Of public amusement
to vaunt the enormous cost of production and the
extravagant prices paid to popular favorites for
performing before the camera.
Americans have outstripped all peoples in the
way Of lavishing money reward on all whose
talent or ability for the time holds popular fancy,
but no other entertainers have yet approached the
figures attained by the moving picture aristo-
Gratis. Adelina Patti, blessed above all women
in voice and business ability, is famed for her
5000 performance, but she never got within
shouting distance Of Charley Chaplin's $4,000 a

Booth and Tomaso Salvini for their heaven-sent
genius, but neither Of these ever approached the
earthly reward that is pouring in on Douglas

is possible, but of little service. The jingle of
the nickels and dimes in the box at the moving

Passing Around the .pork."

President Wilson's monitory visit to congress
last week has some effect at least In aceeierating
the movement of the legislative mill. Within
two hours one of the latest" pork-barrel bills
ever put through was passed by the house and
sent over to the senate. It appropriates $3S,000,
900 in round numbers for sites and federal build
ings throughout the country. OF this sum 100000
is allotted to Nebraska most of it for buildings
at the Genoa Indian school,
Specific instances of the profigate waste of
public money in these omnibus measures have
frequently been given, but no amount of pro-
test has served to shame the present congress
into foregoing its grab at the treasury. On the
morning that bill was passed the deficit in the
United States treasury for the fiscal year 1917
stood at $l4s,74430o.7s, more than two and one
half times the deficit for the preceding year. Re-
member, too that the present democratic admin
istration has shown deficit in the treasury for
each year it has been in Office.
Some items of the bill puzzle the student to
determine by what rule the democrats distribute
their favors For example: The bill carries
$1,000 to purchase building site at Bailey, Ga.
and 81 100000 for site at Boston. This is 500
per head for Boston and $6 per head for Bailey
On the volume of business done, if the Baxle,
item of $4,000 is correct then Boston should have
81 S22 500 000 the postal business at Boston being
just l,2ls times as large as that done at Bailey
Think how proud each of the o4s citizens O
Las Vegas, New will be as they point to tht
| $1,000 postofice Uncle Sam is going to put NJ
there. And in Susanville Cal. busting, TEEN
ing center of 6SS souls, $4,000 will be expended
on federal building West Palm Beach,, Fla
where the tiger is said to have his lair, is tc
get $4,000 also for postoffice, to be principal,
used by those who fall in the "jungles" to writ,
home for money.
This list might be easily extended. Its beaut,
is heightened by the knowledge that closely fol
lowing it through the house is proceeding bill
to authorize floating Indebtedness OF 100000 ,0O
and bond issue of $2So000,000.
