 ''It was thought then that it would simplify matters and prevent needless worry to relatives if that system were adopted.
 q have gotten a report from General Pershing as to the number of those casualties, in addition to tSose which he has published so as to be able to give tke facts to the American peo- pie.
 q am giving the facts to the peo- pie because l know they will face any casualty list with determination and courage whatever it is.

 General ,Pershring reports that up to August 20th, there were 10000 cas- ualties which he had not reported which were listed by doctors as light men who have gone to hospitals and gone back to the line. and that sort of thing; but in order to meet what l think to be the just demands of the people at home, l am going to have General Pershing forward by courier to uss here the entire hospi- tcl record of the American eXpedi- tionary forces giving all casualties no mater if man is in the hospital only 8 day with medical diagnosis ol each case.

pleted The point disputed since the extension of draft ages was propesd has borne upon classification of in- dustries, which was urged by a num- Der of the government administra- tion. It was represented that cer- tain individual enterprises, and some industries, ought to be exempted en- tirely from the draft.
 General Crowder and his staff have held that no general policy should be adopted and the tregulationss be issued shortly provide that exemp- .tion shall be granted only on eviden- ce produced in individual cases.

CARPET BAG PATRIOTS

1t has been called to attention chat in two
communities in this county rent is being charged for the
of public school houses for Red Cross meetings. War
Savings Stamps gatherings and other purely patriotic
affairs that arise from time to time The rental all
the way from $3.50 $15 and is charged by those who
have the operation of the schoOhOuse under their super
vision by of their presence the district school
boards.
1t may be that the people responsible for this of
thing view matter of duty to their respective Of
fces to make that rental charge No doubt the money
collected goes to the school fund for its particular dis
trct Of that fact there is doubt knowing the person
mel of those boards, but at the time think it is
wrong, absolutely and entirely wrong. Public school
buildings public property and such the people
entitled to them especially for patriotic purposes
such affairs given in the interest of the various
funds In rural districts the school house often the only
place where the people of that particular community can
gather advantageousy, and to charge rental for their
use of building which their payment of taxes has
erected seems like charging to eat at his table
There is style of human leach that fastens itself to
community only long enough to become thoroughly filled
with whatever nuliment he gain from its ctzenry
He then falls off into oblivion to appear again. This
fellow is species of the oldme Carpet Dagger" His
chief characteristic is inOrdnate love of the dollar
That esteem for the coin of the realm has often led him
astray and is mostly responsible for his rowing propensi
ties The descriptive may be true of the motive
that prompts those in authority to charge for public
building for purely public and patriotic purpose They
allow their patriotism to away from the true spirit
of the thing long enough to collect few almighty dollars

A FEW SUGGESTIONS
FOR MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT
ow that we are a city why not:

Now that we are q city why not:
Fill in the chuckholes in the streets?
Provide restroom for visitors where they can lind
comfortable chair and cool drink OF water without
paving for something to get something for nothing?
Start small municipal park where the children can
spend few happy and heathfu hours without being on
the streets all hours of the day. and where the people
without cars can spend cool and reStful Sunday?
Provide bandstand where the Home Guard band
could play after daylight wanes? |
Help the businessmen out by one or two municipal
celebrations each year?
Sprinkle the business part of town at least every
day?
Be more careful of sanitary conditions in Elko?
Get together and do everything possible to get a.
clearance local railroad crossings sufficient to do away
with the lurking death that has taken only part of it's
toll to date?
Get the reputation of being Give" town in legiti-
mate of the word instead of community OF SELL
satisfied clans?
Offer inducements for the fellow looking for oca-I
ton where he might proftaby invest little money in
stead of telling every that he is bound to starve
to death?
Get the idea that everybody can make more money
with everybody else helping than he by trying to
freeze the other fellow out all the time 1t often happens
that the other fellow plays pretty good game Of freeze
out WELL
Quit sending away from home for the things that
you need think you need Get the habit Of parOnZng
your home town businessmen and your pathway
along municipal livelihood highroad will be easier
Remember that our boys in the army some
thing more than escort to the train and band concert
every time new contingent leaves for the training
camps Never let the city of Elko fall down any
ment that additional safeguard for those
cred lives.
kbOsh that feeling that you've got to be satisfied herr
because you make your living here. The possibilities
