SUFERAGISTSB BURN
PRESIDENTS WORDS

The right Of freedom Of speech, in
sured to all citizens Of the United
States By the Constitution. stood a
severe test yesterday afternoon. when
militant suffragists gathered around
the Lafayette Monument and commit
ted to the flames what they declared
were "me.e scraps OF paper and ut
terances by the President which were
empty words"
After several limitations that GER
tain gems of rhetoric of the President
were to be thrown into a burning
amudge pot, half a hundred sailors
and soldiers warned the speaker not
to throw anything into the FIRE
Cries Of Better not, We won't
stand for IT." failed, however. to stop
the determined women. and the pres
enee OF policemen made possible the
completion OF the little drama which
the suffragists likened to the Boston
Tea Party on December 16, 1I13-l4S
years ago--and declared the same
spirit prompted them that caused our
forefathers to assert their rights for
representation.
As a whole, q spiritHof merriment
permeated the throng. and "a goodly
crowd was there that well nigh
filled the corner of the square" A
VendeF Of balloons cried his wares
on the outskirts OF the crowd, and
the familiar peanut merchant pushed
his cart across the street and did a
thriving business.

Ben SHFCKLER WRITES
FROM SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE
Says Footwear of French Peasants
Does Not Appeal to His
Esthetic Tastes

The following letter has just been
received by the Standard from Ben
Sheckler, who formerly attended to
the soles of this community, but
could not resist the call of patrio-
tism and enlisted. although he was
then beyond the draft age.
Editor Standard Received the
Standard of August 21st and was
sure glad to get news of Fallon and
vicinity. l have done a lot OF travel
ing since leaving there, and since
my arrival in France have seen some
beautiful country, but the Truckee-
Carson Project still looks good to
me.
Most of the farms here are divid-
ed into very small tracts and the
farmers, as a rule. live in vollages
and go back and forth to their work.
Oxen hitched to carts are very ex-
tensively used and they sure haul
some loads. Horses are very scarce
and burros are also used a lot
Most of the people wear shoes
with wooden soies and leather up
pers tackled to same, a very simple
and economical process of making
shoes, although they don't size up to
me as being very comfortable. This
Is in the rural districts, Of course,
where the people are very poor
Give my regards to the people Of
Fallon and vicinity. Yours very
truly. B. A. Sheckler, Battery E,

PLANS ARE PERFECTED
FOR WAR CHARITIES DRIVE
Campaign Will Open November nth
to Raise $4,000 in This
County

f. r. Pargellis, secretary of the
Y. M. c. A. at Reno was in Fallon
last Saturday in the interest of the
Associated War Charities drive
which will open on November 18th
in every county in the State.
The object of Mr.. Pargellis' visit
was to explain the functions of the
various organizations that will par
ticipate in the division of the fund
of $170,500,000 that is the amount
set to be raised in the United States.
Nevada's apportionment is $4,000
and of this Churchill county's quota
will be $4,000. However, 1t has
been earnestly urged that the coun-
try respond by SO per cent over
subscription, for the reason that
| there are many things to be accom-
plished during the present winter
that will necessitate the expenditure
OF huge sums for the comfort of the
boys lover there that are not con
templated in the original estimates
Hence, we will be called upon and
expected to subscribe $4,000 in
stead of the quota of $4,000 appor-
toned as our share. This means
that an average of $3.50 for every
man, woman and child in the coun-
ty must be maintained throughout
the campaign.
Chester A. Dimond, representing
the Y. M. c. A., has been appointed
manager of the campaign and will
be assisted by the following as rep
resenting the seven different chari-
ties included in the call: Miss Eliz-
abeth Kenny, Knights of Columbus:
Mrs. F. E. Nichols, Y. w. c. A.;
Fred P. Strassburg. Camp Welfare
Community Service; w. X. Davis,
American Library Association; Sam
Rosenberg, Jewish Welfare; E. L.
Bingham, Salvation Army.
This drive has the endorsement
of the War Department and the pur-
pose is to include all war charities
in one call, the funds subscribed
will be apportioned according to
prearranged schedule among seven
organizations which have been en-
dorsed by the government and will
obviate the necessity for a series of
drives from time to time All civil
ian war activities, except the Red
Cross which has it's own plan of
raising funds, will participate In
this fund of $40, 100000.
AS an adjunct to the campaign
comes the Boys and Girls Victory
League. The young people have
enlisted for the work and have
pledged themselves to raise a goodly
proportion of the required fund In
this district the boys will be directed
by Prof Pringle and the girls will
work under the direction of Miss
Ealand.
As perfected the organization con.
sists of the following committee:
Mrs. Geo. B. Williams. Team Organ
ization and Canvassing; F. P. Strass-
burg on District Apportionment;
w. X. Davis, on Meetings. F. P.

gle, Secretary.

TRUCkEE RIVER QUESTION
BELIEVED NEARING END
Project Manager Returns from True
kee River Adjudication Confer
ence But Cannot Give Result

Project Manager John f. Richard
son and District Counsel r. G.. Pat
rick returned Sunday from the Den
yer conference where the Trucket
River adjudication matters were un
der advisement.
On a matter of such vital concern
to the settlers of this valley it was
with high hopes Of rich enlighten-
ment that the Standard news gath.
erer welcomed the Project Manager
but although affabilisy was sc PRO.
nounced as to mellow the raw at.
mosphere of the day, so far as the
objective was concerned Mr.. Rich.
ardson was as silent as a diplomatic
minister on a foreign mission.
Questioned as to the authenticity
of current rumors to the effect that
the settlement of the entire matter
was left with the management of the
local Office the Project Manager
would neither admit or deny their
accuracy.
On business conditions in the
east and the prospect of an early
peace settlement he was voluble and
enlightening but all attempts to
form a contact between his mind
and the 10000 acres of neglected
land which should be thrown open
to settlers and which have lain at
the mercy of delaying officials were
abortive.
And now that officialism seals the
mouth of our local government rep
resentative the Standard is in po-
sition to state that through other
channels the Intentions regarding
this naturally rich country will soon
become the property of the public.
Project Manager Richardson has
always shown deep interest in a
settlement of this important meas
ure but fearful of further delays
the entire question which was
known to be in other control was
recently laid before the Washington
officials on the ground that it was
unquestionably war measure.
1t is known that there was no dis
pute on this point and the Standard
is not indulging in prophesy in an
emphatic declaration that soon, and
this measured by the calendar and
not by the rule of legal red tape,
this magnificent section will be
thrown open for settlers. And ac-
cording to q movement now under
way this is to be but the beginning
of a development of non-productiye
lands as it is proposed to appeal to
the government to place rs tractors
at once on the heavy lands lying un
der the bench and prepare them
thoroughly for our returning sol
diers.
Franklin X. Lane, Secretary of
the Interior has In all his recent
public utterances declared himself
in favor of such preparedness In ey-
cry section of the country and it is
not assuming too much to affirm
that his active cooperation may be
counted upon.
There are limitless opportunities
before those of us interested in the
future of this valley and nothing is
now lacking to hasten this end but
a well equipped and aggressive Or
ganization.
