Help fght to make the race
Physically free from peonage.
Mentally free from ignorance.

Socially free from insult"
No race in all history ever had
more commanding slogan than this.
When Mr. Moorefield Story. former
president OF The American Bar Asso-
citation and now president of our Ma
tional body, appeared before the U. S.
Supreme Court last May to argue the
Loomisville segregation case, he posi-
lively refused to accept cent for his
service, and later, when the Supreme
Court handed down that memorable
decision declaring all such ordinances
to be unconstitutional, he again re-
fused to accept money rendered him
by grateful negroes, and said the only
tribute of honor he asked was that we
build our membership up to at least
$1,000. Should we not, as citizens
proud of our growing into the fuller
enjoyment OF our rights, freely and
unstintedly pay this humble tribute
to Moorefield Story, the eminent Bos-
ton attorney who knows men by their
worth and not by their color He is
our foremost white champion of man
hood rights in America today. He is
the very re-incarnation OF Sumner and
Garrison, those great yearning socls
to whom God spoke. The Denver
Branch asks the citizens of this place
to do their part. May 1st is the date
set for this number to be acquired,
Join yourself. Ask your white friends
to join.
In asking for a membership of So
000, Mr.. Story virtually asks that
many Negroes to clasp hands and
stand in solid phalanx for their own
uplift, protection and Advancement.

POINT TO BIBLICAL PROPHECY
Huns Claim That Russia's Collapse
Was Foretold in Verse In the
Book of Daniel.

Quotations from the Bible and the
use Of the name of the Deity are ia
vorite methods of the kaiser and his
subjects for trying to justify them
selves for bringing on the world dis
aster. Now they have come forward
with a verse from the Book of Daniel
to prove that a Biblical prophecy has
come true in the collapse of the Rus
sian fighting forces. The verse is:
"And for the time that the daily
sacrifice shall be taken away. and the
abomination that maketh desolate set
up, there shall be a thousand two hum
dred and ninety days"
The Germans point out that the
period of 1920 days corresponds with
the period from August 1, 1914, when
war began between Germany and Rus
STA, and February II, 1918, when 1t
was announced that Trotzky had de-
clared the war ut an end.

LITTLE TERRIER IN TRENCH
This Canine Warrior Was Not q
Stacker" but Didn't Care to
Go over Top.

In those long lines of trenches In
France and Flanders, where Britisher
faces German, 1t is not all discomfort
and misery. During quiet hours we
play and joke. And we like nothing
better than some little pet-a dog or a
cat, perhaps-to are for and look
after.
Cats are not uncommon in trench
land, many of them having been born
and bred there, says Boys Life, the
boy scouts magazine. Unless a kitten
or cat is actually taken from the
trenches, 1t makes that sector its
home, and is fed and cared for by the
troops which come in TO hold the line
at that part. But a dog will follow
his unit about and soon becomes the
friend of all, and quite an important
being in the regiment.
Our little Smooth-haired fox terrier
had taken up his quarters in a strong
redoubt near the front. The little dog
would quake with fear on hearing Il
German shell in the air, but after the
explosion would run about as before,
realizing that the danger was past.
Poor little Warrior stayed in the
trenches always. He would not follow
the men out, but would settle down
with the incoming unit. Many We're
the jokes made mt his expense. "War-
riOr, old boy" a man would say, eff L
was you | would get n transfer to some
nOnfignting mob wot never comes up.
and keep out of it well behind" But
Warrior wouldn't desert. Every time
the battalion came up to hold the line
there was the little terrier.

The French TricoIor.

The TricolOr, the French national
standard of blue, white and red, d.
vided vertically, originated during the
first French revolution. In 1889 the
leaf plucked by Camille Desmoulins
in the garden of the Palais Royal be-
came n rallying sign, and green was
to be adopted as the national color;
but, remembering that green was the
color of the hated Prince d'Artois, they
rejected it on the following day.
They at first chose, instead, blue and
red, the cOlors of the city of Paris,
and later added the white of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved by
the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after taking of the Bastile,
Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colOred cocard as a
badge of reconciliation with the king.
Thus the Tricolor originated as the
symbol Of the liberty of the French
nation, and it continued ms such even
when afterward the reconciliation"
with the king ended with his decapita-
ton.

NEW SUPERINTENDENT
OF SCHOOLS Is HERE

sisted that Pitman stenography be
taught, the same system as taught
by Miss Trewick last year, and the
employment or an instructor in this
system, which is considered by ex-
perts to be superior to others, was
for a time a problem.
The teaching of stenography and
tipping in the high-school will be a
speciality during the coming term.
and the course will only
one year, instead of two years, as
heretofore.
Mrs. Mary Thomson has had
special training in domestic sciences
and manual training at the univer-
sity of California and Columbia uni
versity in New York.
Miss Isabel A. Thomson will be
principal of the grades. She taught
last year at Fallon, where she was
principal of the Oats Park school
and also taught in the eighth grade.
All the teachers named Thomson
and spelling the name in the same
manner are not related, but Mrs.
Mary Thomson is the mother of
Miss Isabel A. Thomson. Mrs. Ruby
C. Thomson is not related to the
other two.

this morning that he was anxious to
register high-school pupils in adj
vance of Sept. 2 and, starting today,
he will be in the high-school every
week day from 2 to 4 p. m. for this
purpose. He is anxious to meet the
pupils and discuss subjects they de-
sire to study next term, including
pupils who graduated from the
eighth grade in June and who will
enter the high-school in September.
Early registration will aid him in
arranging a program for studies.
Superintendent McKeone also
said that in cases where it could be
done he wanted high-school pupils
to return to the school text books
used by them last term, as they
were of no value to the pupils, who,
through him, may have an opportu-
nifty to dispose of them to pupils
who will be required to use the
books during the coming term, thus
giving the owners an opportunity
to sell the books to other pupils and
make u~nnecessar the purchase of
new and costly text books.

Tins Part in Woman's Finery.

Few women who are proud of the
fact that they wear hosiery, under
that old tin ans contribute from 20 to

silks worm by them. The price of silk
has increased enormously and to en-
able them to sell heavy silks at n price
that will yield a reasonable profit and
yet be within the means of the average
purchasers, the manufacturers resort
to the practice of weighing the silk
with tin tetrachlOride, derived from
old tin cans. Five thousand tons of tin
were used for that purpose in 1917.

LET WORK ExTINGUISH GRIEF
Best Of All Antidotes for Excessive
Sorrow over Parting From Those
Who Go Forth to Fight.

Grief is an attitude of mind. With
some people it is a habit.
In a sense we wv it, as a sort of
deferential token of our love and es-
TEEN, to manifest a reasonable amount
of grief for those whom duty has
called to danger and suffering.
Everybody knows, however, that the
intensity and duration of the visible
manifestation of grief are seldom in
direct proportion to the sincerity of
our love and esteem.
1t is hard to be obliged to yield man
or boy we love to become cannon fod-
der for the Hun. 1t is q cause for
intense sorrow, but 1t is no cause or
excuse for insensibility to our own
immediate duty toward that man or
boy.
1t is our battle they are fighting.
and they cannot shoot nor eat our
tears.
They say it is the anguish of watt
ing that makes it so hard on the wom-
en-. If that is the cause of our grief,
we have an easy solution-just stop
waiting and get busy. There is plenty
to do.
To have something before you, clear
ly seen, which you know you must do,
and can do, and will spend your ut
most strength and perhaps life in do
ing, that is one form at least of very
high happiness, and One that appeals
the facts prove it-nOt only to saints
and heroes, but to average men.
And those who can love enough and
are strong enough in heart, will find
opportunity for the same happiness,
that same exhilaratiOn in doing their
part, here at home.
This is the real triumph, the great
victory which must be won over
there, if any permanent good is to
come of this great tragedy.-The Moth
er's Magazine.

MINERAL, NyE AND.
ACAlLEO.
FOR 295 LABORERS.
TONOPAH WILL BE HEADQUAR-
TIERS FOR LABOR
BOARD

The first meeting of the Nevada
employment service committee, held
to assign labor quotas to the vari-
Gus counties, was held in Reno a
few days ago. AS it was believed
possible that an error had been
made in assigning a quota of 1880
unskilled laborers to be furnished
by this state for war industries, in
quiry was made of national labor
heads and this was found to be the
correct quota.
Based on this state quota, Esmer-
aida, Mineral and Nye counties,
forming a district in which Tonopah
will he the headquarters of the la
Dor board. were given a combined
quota of 295 men.
The formation of these labor
boards and their work will in no
ann interfere with the opera
tions of the man-power bill and will
not alter the draft situation after it
has been passed. Boards selecting
men for army service and those Sc
lecting men for labor in war indus
tries will work in harmony.
County boards will soon start OPP
Grating to select men and in cases
where friction develops between
men selected and the boards an ap-
peal may be taken to the state COM
mittee, which will decide such cases.
The state employment service
committee consists of Henry w.
Rives, Fred Dangberg, John Brooks
and Joe Farnsworth.

E. L. McKeone, formerly superin-
tendent of schools at Fallon and re-
Gently appointed to the same posi-
ton in Goldfield, arrived here a few
days ago to prepare for the reopen
ing of the schools on Sept. 2, the
date on which both high-school and
grade pupils will register for the
term.
The new superintendent is a grad
uate of Stanford university and,
after teaching in Elko and Genoa in
this state, was appointed %superin-
tended of schools at Fallon five
years ago. He will teach history
and be director of physical training
for boys in the local high-school.
A state law now requires physi-
cal training in all secondary schools
and the style of training to be
adopted here will depend on the
number of pupils that register Sept.
2. Many schools have adopted mil
itary training, but this will not be
done in Goldfield.
In the high-schol next term there
will be the superintendent and three
teachers of regular high-school sub
jects, Mrs. Ruby G. Thomson, Miss
Elizabeth Bailey and Mrs. Florence
Kalef. In addition to these there
will be Mrs. Mary Thomson, former
ly at Inlay, New, who will teach
sewing and supervise Junior Red
Cross work at the grades.
Mrs. Ruby G.. Thomson is a grad
uate of the university of California
and previous to her appointment
here was instructor in sciences and
mathematics in the Iyceum school
in San Francisc and will teach these
subjects in the Goldfield high
school.
Miss Elizabeth Bailey will teach
Latin and Spanish. She is a grad
uate of the university of California.
Mrs. Florence Kalef is also a
graduate of the university of Cali
fornia and was instructor in COM
mercial subjects, music and taught
in English courses last year in the
Chico, Cal, high-school. She will
teach commercial subjects, music
and English.

AIRPlANE CARRIER
IS MYSTERY SHIP
BRITISH FLEET
WAS USED IN RECENT ATTACK
ON TEUTON AIR
SHEDS

WITH THE GRAND FLEET, Aug.
81. = Visiting the fleet this week,
King George inspected a mystery
ship which is a puzzle to the en-
envy. Reference to her peculiari-
ties is officially restricted to the
statement tnat she is an afrplane
carrier"
This carrier was concerned in the
recent attack on the air sheds at
Tondern. She reached a suitable
point off the German coast in the
small hours of the morning and a
number of airplanes we're sent up
with the object of destroying Zeppe-
lin hangers at Tondern.
Captain Dixon arrived at Ton
dern in the early hours of the morn
ing and came so low in searching
for hangers that at one time he was
within so feet of the ground.
He found Tondern very much
dSlcep anu llGN over the main street
unmolested, seeing only one human
being. on farm cart, who waved a
cordial greeting.
Observing what he believed to be
a hangar. Captain Dixon released
one bomb from a height of 800 feet
and received a shock when a mu-
milton dump exploded. He imme-
diately made out the Zeppelin sheds
and unloaded his remaining bombs
which caused a fierce fire.
A heavy barrage was then put up
by the enemy, but Captain Dixon
flew off and reached home after
three hours in the air.
The barrage indicated to other at
lacking planes where to operate and
another machine piloted by Captain
Smart, who was decorated by the
king later, attacked and accounted
for the second Zeppelin shed.
