Reay Mackay, General Manager
ard II. c. Jacobsen, butter maker
for the Churchill Creamery, while
they feel much elated over the re-
suit of the contest, do not consider
that they are entissed to all the
credit Mr.. Jacobsen has had 20
years experience in creameries, hav-
ing learned the business in his ma
tive land, Denmark. For a number
of years he has been looked upon as
one of the foremost men in his pro
fession in the west, and when the
medal was handed to him, he said
that while he had put forth his best
efforts to win, he would not have
been able to do much unless he had
been provided with an excellent
grade of cream to work with, which
is a direct compliment to the dairy
men of our valley The Nevada
Packing Company is indeed fortu-
nate in having such a grade of but
ter as is manufactured here. to be
able to put out under their well
known "Mayrose' brand.

one wondered why people came
across here to spend the summer,
nowthat We are here we can see the
reason, and don't blame them for
doing so. While there were sever
al of the boys who were sick. / was
one who was spared. The only OBJ
lection to the trip was the length Of
time it took to come across, being
nearly fifteen days on the water. The
weather was fine, while II was windy
and little stormy few days, the
sea was calm. 1t was a sight to see
the waves rolling up in big hillocks
and then dying away again TO q
smooth surface. At night to stand
out and watch the waters form
lights and hues of different colors
reminded me of the story I read at
school, "The Ancient Mariner" One
thing is certain, when we return II
won't take US so long. From the
time we left Kelly Field until we
reached here we were 20 days and
travelling all the time, having cover
ed somewhere in the neighborhood
of 1000 miles. We were at Garden
City five days
| am writing this letter at the Y
M. c. A. There are several more of
the boys here also. Give my kindest
regards to all inquiring friends.

In view of the comments and in
quiries which have been made over
the state in response to the kind ed
itorials of my home papers, endors
Ing my candidacy for place on the
Supreme Bench. I wish to state that
while do sincerely appreciate such

fully realize that such promo
ton is worthy the ambition of any
one, and Is an honor to be appreci-
ated, but feel that there are others
more experienced at this time, and
more deserving of such recognition
than myself. Accordingly, l shall be
content, and shall ask to remain in
my present position for another
term, hoping that the gracious con-
sideration of my constituents will
permit me to do SO.
Also, l am thoroughly satisfied
with the candidacy of Judge Edward
A. Ducker of Winnemucca for the
Supreme Court. He is very deserv
ing and we'll qualified. and inasmuch
as the Judiciary Is by letter of the
law made non-political, and very
properly so, l believe it should also
be SO considered in spirit by trying
to avoid any and all political con-
tests In this matter.

GEO. DAVIS TO Be RONORED
TONIGHT At A RECEPTION
Decision to Follow the Colors Oe-
casiOn for Gathering. Friends
Plan Memorable Evening

The employees of Cray, Reid <
Co, and many of his school friends
are to amplify their esteem for their
fellow student and worker, George
Davis, in a gathering at the High
School auditorium tonight, the fea-
lures of which will include dancing
and a buffet luncheon.
The occasion is prompted by the
response of Davis to the call of his
country and he will leave in few
days for Portland, Oregon and there
enlist in a branch of the service not
yet decided upon.
He is making this point his en-
listment one in order to visit a mar
ried sister whom he has not met for
some time.
Quite apart from the usual amen
tiles prompted by an occasion of this
character it may safely be said that
Geo. Davis has combined the quail
ties OF courtesy and cheeriness of
disposition that have won for him
host OF friends and win prove a val
liable asset in tie larger world he

appraised ct their true value
His employers viii besr testimony

interests aud doubtless viii join
their expression of good will and
wishes for a safe return. with those
who are to honor him tonight in this
more formal manner.
ably doubt that self defense is one
of our strong reasons for warning on
this outlaw Prussian Government?
Concluding he said we should
be untrue to our history. untrue to
our national ideals, untrue to hu-
man liberty, if we did not make war
on this Prussian beast, the most
heartless, relentless and dangerous
foe which has ever attacked civiliza-
ton"
The speaker was frequently inter
upted with applause so general and
prolonged as to give ample proof
that the sentiments he so eloquently
expressed were echoed in the hearts
of the large gathering.
Hon. Samuel Belford made the
closing address and it was one that

surcharged with the fire of one who
deeply feels the seriousness of the
present crisis confronting our nation,
and none who heard him could fai
to be alive to the responsibility rest
ing upon every loyal citizen.
The wrapt attention of his hearers
and the applause which greeted the
many telling points in his address
was the highest compliment that
could be paid to the eloquent speak
err
The exercises of the evening were
concluded with the rendering of the
Star Spangled Banner by the High
School chorus and was most inspir-
ingly sung.
Saturday evening a social dance
brought to a close the formalities of
the dedication features, and the au-
ditorium was taxed to the limit to
afford opportunity to all who wished
to enjoy the pleasures of the even
ing.
Full justice could not be done to
the completeness of the dedication
ceremonies without reference to the
effectiveness of the training by Miss
Ruth Geissler of those who so cred
itably contributed to its musical
features.

LEO LIKES NOW LOCATED At
BIRTHPLACE OF ROBT. BURNS
Now Sergeant in 25th Aero Squad
ron I'm Training With Royal
English Flying Corps

Postmaster G. w. Likes has re-
ceived letter from his son Leo, now
Sergeant in the 25th Aero Squad
ron. The letter is dated at Ayr,
Scotland, February 18th, and Is as
follows:
Dear father-Well, here | am in a
foreign land and it is rather hard to
believe 1t. We arrived all o. X.
without anything startling happen
ing.
We have been here some time now
and are settled and at work. We are
working with the Royal Flying Corps
boys, and they treat us fine. We are
located in a brick building and have
up-to-date accommodations 1t is
barracks to the aviation field. They
certainly do fly over here. Some of
the boys are in plane crews in the
hangers, some in work shops and
other places. | am in the workshop,
but only for a short time, as | ex-
pect to go away from here for train
ing in wireless. We are the first
American boys who have been in this
section so far and the people Ger
tainly treat us splendidly. We have
been out to all kinds of dances and
tea parties, in fact receive more in
vitations than we can accept.
The Royal Flying Corps have
what they call sergeants' mess or
club, which only sergeants or over
can attend. We have been extend
ed a warm welcome to their mess,
and dances or other forms of enter
tainment There is some class to the
sergeants over here. They all carry
o silver headed cane, while those be-
low that rank can only carry swag-
ger stick. OF course |, like all the
rest of our sergeants, had to get a
worrying me is which is going to
wear out first my hand or the head
of the cane. They say the object in
carrying a cane is to keep our hands
out of our pockets.
The food we are getting is as good
as could be expected under the pres
ent conditions, although there is no
danger of over eating. But one good
thing is that we can get small
lunch down town at the Y. NJ. c. A.
in the afternoon whenever we want
it, and it doesn't cost a fortune
either
When we landed here 1t was like
falling into a field of clover. for ey-
cry time we move We figure that 1t
will be a worse place than the one
we have just left. If you will re-
member, this is the home of Robert
Burns, the poet, and 1t is very
beautiful place even in winter, so if
it is still prettier in summer it must
be beyond words to express.
We have to work every day, Sun
days included, except Saturday af-
leInoon, anu II hdo hidhaSeu W iaih
every Saturday, so | have not been
to visit Burns cottage and monu-
ment.
We are not able to get American
tobacco here and to buy matches is
almost like looking for quarters in
the streets A few dozen cans of
Prince Albert tobacco and some
matches, also a half dozen plugs of
chewing tobacco and some cigarette
papers would be greatly appreciated,

and Sam Belford Mark Successful
Formal Opening

The new High School was formally
launched upon its field of intellectu-
al activities last Friday evening with
q program both varied and interest
ing throughout.
During the afternoon occurred the
house warming and the building was
thronged with the friends of the in
stitution who were guided through
the building by the students who
were on duty as ushers.
The structure and its arrangement
received general approval, it being
the consensus of opinion that in
these respects 1t would outlast the
present generation.
The evening exercises opened in
the splendid auditorium which was
brilliantly lighted and of agreeable
warmth.
A. ID. Drumm as president of the
board presided and introduced the
speakers and others who partieipat-
ed in the program The first mum

bers were well rendered Recita-
ton by Charlotte E Towle. Goldie
Marsh gad Naomi Ayers found de-
served favor with the audience.
Deputies George E. McCracken
and Chauncy S. Smith extended
pithily and graciously. greetings
from their departments.
The introduction of President
Walter e. Clark of the University of
Nevada gave the larger portion of
the great audience their first oppor-
tunity of a personal acquaintance
with the head of the state institution
of learning in which every citizen
should have such deep interest.
We're tie Judgment of those pres
ent Friday night who heard the i'm
passioned patriotic address of their
newly appointed president, to be re-
corded. It would be one of sincere
qualification that in all that makes
for successful leadership of the
youth of our state. President Clark
possessed these qualities to an emf
nent degree.
After felicitating the members of
the board, the architects, Professor
McKillop and all who aided In plan

structure, which he declared out

similar purposes, he launched into
his address why America is in the
