Score on Percentage Basis.

Of necessity the scores will give
no indication of the actual amount
of work accomplished in each port
or the number of ships or troops re-
ceived. but the increased results in
each case will be designated by a
percentage which will indicate the
theoretical progress toward Berlin.
This percentage will be computed
through comparison of the work ac-
complished with each ports records
for the previous eight weeks.
The troops at the front will receive
the scores at the Y. NJ. c. a. huts. and
motion pictures of the work at the
ports will be shown there. as well
as in the United States.
At the close Of the contest prizes
will be awarded. The base port to
reach Berlin" first will be awarded
a pennant, and colors for distin-
guished service in helping defeat the
enemy. Ten days vacation will be
given the winning platoon of freight
handlers and prizes will be given
for individual distinction and to the
squads and platoons at each port.
The contest was arranged by Maj.
Gen. Harbord, commanding the serv-
ice of supply, to increase the rivalry
among the base port organizations.

TRAVELLING MINING
SCHOOL

A travelling mining school may be
establishedain Nevada in the near fu-
ture, if plans. approved by Governor
Boyle and being made out in detail
by Prof Lincoln OF the university
are put into effect. It is expected that
the mining schools at Virginia City,
Ely, GoIdfield and Tonopanl will
qualify Nor Federal aid under the
Smith Hughes act. The plans under
consideration by the governor. Di-
rector Brigham and Proof. Lincoln
contemplate the use OF sum equal
to that received from the Federal
government in the purchase OF mov-
ing equipment tllat would be used
in the proposed travelling mining
school. In order. to secure such
school, camp would probably have
to guarantee an enrolment of at
least 20 men who would take advant-
ages of the several courses to be
offered. The term at one camp would
probably be three moonths, or under
certain Eonditions sx months, put
no longer, when the school would be
moved to the next camp i'll order.

TENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION
W0MAN'S Federated :
CLUBS

The tenth Annual Convention of
the Nevada Federation of Women S
Clubs held in Lovelock April 1925
was undoubtedly the greatest meeting
of the clubs in the history cf the State
Those present were surprised at the
great amount and character of the
work going on and being accomplish
ed at the present time by the officers
and departments of work. Delegates
from almost all the 80 clubs federat-
ed were present, and went home
much better informed on the duties
purposes, and achievements of clubs.
Many new ideas OF benefit to clubs
and clubwomen were absorbed and
delegates were enthusiastic over the
things they had learned and lett with
the firm purpose of spreading that
enthusiasm to their club members,
who were not so fortunate as to be
present.
One of the most gratifying facts
was the wonderfully good impression
made upon the men who visited the
meetings and became acquainted with
the work. Not only were they sur
prised at the nature and scope of the
work undertaken, but compllmented
the women on their practical business
like attitude toward all the problems
bearing on the improvement of the
moral, physical, and economic welfare
of the human race.
The thanks of the Federation is
due the Loveloek Civic Improvement
Club and other citizens of that COM
munity for their kindness and the
many courtesies extended the dele
gates. The auto trip through their
wonderful valley was much enjoyed.
They did much to make the meeting
the great success that it was.
Too much praise cannot be given
Mrs. p. B. Ellis, our. capable presi-
dent, who has devoted so much OF
her time to this work Her splendid
address will long be remembered and
her strong plea foz the -Anisricanfe"
ton of our Germanized educational
system will not go unheeded. She
has worked increasingly for the I'M
provement of the Federation and has
the distinction of visiting more clubs
throughout the State than any other
president.
No election was held as the officers
are now elected bi-annually. The
Federation, however, signifed by
ballot its choice of Mrs. Geo. F. West
OF Ierington as the nominee for the
General Federation State Director, an
appointment made by the General
