CHURCHILL COUNTY SOLONS
RETURN TO PRIVATE LIFE
People of County Have Reason To be
Proud of Results Obtained in
Both Branches

Churchill county's representatives
IN both branches of the Legislature,
which adjourned sine die last Thurs
lay have returned to their homes
and to private life. 1t is usually
the custom to critieise legislators for
their sins Of omission and neglect to
give credit for valiant service in a
good cause. Happily there is little
to find fault with in the record OF
Churchill eountys delegation and
much for which they have earned the
praise of their constituents
Apparently all we're imbued with
the idea that their first duty was to
their county and secondly TO the
State and naturally in the pursuance
of this policy it developed that what
was best for each county was. in the
lnal analysis. best for the State as
a whole.
Senator W. A. keddie, whose term
has now expired returned to Fallon
ast Thursday being compelled to
Ioreso the last hours Of the session
owing to the necessity for his pres
ance at court proceedings in eonnec-
ton with the final settlement of the
Williams estate. HoWey,- lie states
that his work vas done ID he is
exeusably jubilant over the success
full passage of practically every
measure he introduced and adYoeat-
ed for Churchill county. Although
not OF our political persuasion, the
Standard takes great pleasure in
congratnlating Senator Keddie on
his splendid record in the Senate
There is no evidence that he played
party politics at any stage of the
game. On the contrary he was
frankly and openly for Churchill
ounty first, last and all the time
md while some of us may differ with
him in his vote on certain measures,
there will be none TO impugn his sin
certify. Hence he Is spared the ne
oessity OF apoligizing or attempting
to excuse.
c. W. Renfro measured up fully
TO the expectations of his friends in
his legislative work Although new
to the game. he soon took a front
rank among the progressive and ag
gressiye members of the lower
house. Intensely earnest in his con
victions and fearless in the defense
of what he believed to be right. his
colleagues were quick to appreciate
his honesty while at times differing
with him in matters of public poll
ey. Churchill county and the State
of Nevada have need of men OF the
type of Mr. Renfro in the law max
ing branch of the government and IL
is safe TO soy that should he again
permit his name to GO before the
voters of Churchill county for re
election two years hence. he will Ne
a hard man to beat.
e. S. Hartman while more con
seryative than his associate. was
generally found on the right side OF
every question affecting the inter
ests of his county and has made a
safe. sane and satisfactory represent
atiYe and proved that no mistake
was made by the people in entrust-
ing the welfare of both the State and
county to his matured judgment.

TWO BODIES Join
IN REQUEST FOR
SERMONS ONLABOR

Request was made today by the
American Federation Of Labor and the
Federal Council OF the Churches OF
Christ in America that ministers Of
Washington refer to Labor Day in
their sermons tomorrow. Suggestion
has been made that pastors preach on
the relation of labor and the war.
Special services will be held at .
number of Washington churches for
the beneft of soldiers and sailors in
barracks or camps near the Capital.
There will be an organ recital for
soldiers and sailors at the Church OF
the Epiphany tonight at s o'clock.
At the present time a bill is pend
ing in Congress, which may take the
aircraft production out of the hands
Of the War and Navy Departments
and place It In the hands OF the Air
craft Production Board. Until this
bill has been finally acted upon no
decisive steps are being taken, no
contracts are being signed, but the
work is going on with contracts to
be made later, and America is making
rapid strides toward the ultimate
goal-supremacy OF the air.

ORSCENESOF WAR

to a seaport probably early next week
20 bid farewell to his two sisters,
Misses Emma and Katherine Lansing.
who are going to France for service

General Pershing's forces.
The Misses Lansing were among
the first to answer the call OF the
Red Cross for canteen aids to pro-
vide the many small luxuries the men
on the fighting line flnd almost in
dispensable. They have Just COM
pleted an intensive course of training
in preparation for the work In
France. This training put aside all
possibility of their coming to Wash
ington to say good-by to the Secre-
tary. As a consequence, he is en-
deavoring to arrange for q flying
visit to the port from which they
will sail with a unit Of ten specially
trained women.
Members Of this unit will not do
nursing, but will be behind the lines
In France, and in the big conccntra-
tion camps along the western front,

1t was Originally planned to make

COAL PRICES STAND
DESPITE PRICE FIXING

The price for anthracite coal at the
mines. as fixed by President Wilson,

and retailers.
