CAMP SHERMAN, Chillicothe, o..
Sept. 2O-That the saith or Lincoln"
Division, which trained here, will be
the lucltiest division in France when
II reaches the war zone, is the belief
of hundreds of members of this di-
vision who saw cloud image of
Abraham Lincoln over the canton
ment several days ago.
Some of the men who say they saw
the cloud assert it was "A perfect like
ness of the martyred president. II
disappeared for IL moment and then
reappcarcd In another cloud few
minutes later Hundreds of the men
watched the strange cloud formation.
Soldiers departing from Camp Sher-
man hereafter to eastern ports of EN-
barkation must carry numerous ar
tices. The latest order names the
following articles to Iie taken by men
for overseas duty; q
One rife, 'oildr case, bayonet and
scabbard, ten cartridges, gun sling,
pistol or revolver, holster, maya
zines, two magazine pockets, pistol
belt and layard, cartridge belt, can of
bacon. can of meat, canteen cover,

one hat and cord three hcevrons, one
oVercoat, service coat, one dublin
pair woolcn gloves and two pairs of

The Rehabilitation division, whose
| duty II Is to make sick soldiers forget
their pains as quickly as possible
or diversions at the base hospital, has
saved so much in fitting GONZALES
cents for duty, according to Colonel j.
II, Allen, division surgeon here, that
Surgeon General Gorgas has ordered
similar departments organized in the
other cantonments throughout the
country.
Since the rehabilitation division
was started here in May, ii is esti
mated that go men have been sent
back to duty from seven to fifteen
days ahead of regular hospital sched
ule. Camp Sherman was the first of
any of the cantOnments to inaugurate
II method of fitting convalescents for
duty by having them exercise and
play games,

In the election now at hand
Churchill County should be proud
OF the fact that she has a candidate
who has not only served his constit-
uents we'll at home. but also so we'll
and satisfactorily in other counties
of the state that no opposition
against his reelection has been of
fered from any source and of course
his election therefore is assured
This is as it should be, and since
the law now makes all judicial Of
fees non-partisan, the people should
forget and ignore party lines in
such cases. Judge Hart has shown
his true conception of the intent
and purpose of such a law by not
being identified with either of the
political parties and the Standard
believes fully merits your vote
which should not be overlooked Just
because no opponent appears on the
ballot.

COUNTY COMMISIONERSHI

c. E. Bartlett, whose announce

for long term Commissioner appears
elsewhere In this issue of the Stand
ard. is one of the substantial farm
ers of the Island district. While a
comparative new conner, he is deep
ly interested In the county both
from financial and sentimental
way. His pronounced views on pro-
hibition led his friends to induce
him TO make the race for the com
missionership on a dry" platform,
but Bartlett states that this will be
but an incident In the event of his
election, since he has well-defined
views on other subjects that would
inure to the benefit of the citizen
and the taxpayer IL he is honored by
a selection TO place on the Board

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO
OVER THE TOP IN A TANK

How would you like to "go over
the top in a tank?
How would you enjoy plotting a
kissing, fire-spitting monster thru
mo Mans Land" smashing your
way through barbed wire entangle-
ments and then on through the Hun
trenches?
Wouldn't il give you a thrill to
see the Hun turn tail and run, ter
rified in the knowledge that you
were going to "get him" and help
wipe away the stain of Kaiserism
from the face of the earth?
OF course, you would like all
these things, and they can be yours
If you join the United States Tank
Corps-the treat EN- rough outfit"
that is going to do much toward
finishing off the Hun and making
the world clean and decent place
to live in.
The tank corps wants husky, two
listed American MEN who are anxi-
Gus to fight and who are physically
sound. Men who are experienced
caterpillar tractor drivers or me-
chanies are particularly desired, and
for the purpose of getting such men
Lieutenant Warren +. Myers of the
tank corps has established recruit
ing headquarters at 240 Montgom-
cry street, San Francisco.
Why not drop in and see him?
You may be just the right mani

FUNERAL OF THOS. STACEY
OF FAIRVIEW SATURDAY

Pneumonia claimed another vic
tim last Thursday in the passing of
Thomas Stacy of Fairview well
known among the mining men of
the State.
He had returned the previous
week from business trip to San
Francisco where he contracted a
cold and persistently refused to ac-
cept medical aid until his condition
became SO alarming that his attend
ant insisted upon his transfer to the
Cottage Hospital.
Accompanied by Louis Saderlind
the trip was undertaken Wednesday
the patient growing gradually weak
er until at Grimes station he became
unconscious from which state he
failed to revive.
The deceased was an expert min
Ing man and located in Fairview in
1906 when he acquired a controll-
ing interest in the Dromedary Hump
and the Fairyiew Golden Boulder
mining properties.
He was esteemed highly by his
business associates and throughout
this section of the State where his
many generous acts bore testimony
to his unselfiish character.
He was born in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, was 46 years of age and
unmarried
The funeral took place Saturday
from the Methodist Church, Rev. J.
A. Waehob officiating.

DUCK HUNTERS HAVE ALL
NIGHT VIGIL IN TULE SWAMP
Two Members of Hunting Party Res
cued after Spending Day and
Night In Swamp

Duck hunters who left Fallon
Saturday night had narrow escape
from getting the limit but 1t was a
limit that meant their span of life
as were it not for a rescuing party
who unselfishly left here Sunday
night about 1880 O'Clock the chances
for two of the party again reaching
civilization was remote.
One of the party was a Mr.. Stat
ford a night watchman in the
round house in Sparks who accom-
panied by Conductor Shonts left
Fallon Saturday night for the Car
son lake and after spending several
hours in hunting they became sep
arated and the repeated shouts of
the latter on account of the high
wind failed to bring a response.
An appeal for help which was sent
to town brought many volunteers
among them being George A Foster,
Sheriff C. M. Way and Everett Sher-
man, who left town about 7:3o, Eos
ter and Sherman entering the trail
from the Grimes side.
These two trailers finally heard
what seemed an echo to their calls
and following the sound Foster came
upon Stafford who was in bad pre-
dicament being sunken in the mud
to his knees and famishing for a
drink of water.
He was brought to town where the
party arrived about 1920, and con-
tinued his trip to his home. accom-
panied by Conductor Shonts.
1t was then discovered by the par
ty that Dudley Petree who accom-
panied H. L. Singleton and J. G.
Gault on hunting trip was also
missing and search for him was TAX
en- up by Sheriff Way and the other
two members of his party and II was
not until nearly 7 o'clock Monday
morning that the searchers located
and rescued him.
II was doubtful If the rescued
hunters were any more rejoiced than
their rescuers upon their arrival in
town.

upon his entrance into another field,
deeply regret his departure.

DEATH OF JOHN PITTS
LAST THURSDAY

death of Thos Stacy in the same
household in which he had lived for
several years and whose protege he
was, John Pitts passed away follow

years from dropsy and heart trouble
and 1t was thought that the illness
OF his patron fastened his death.
He was II years of age, the son
of the landlady of the boarding
house in Fairview and who accom-
panied the remains to Fallon.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist church last Saturday

MOVEMENT TO ORGANIZE
COUNTY COMMERCIAL CLUB
Organization Intended to be Repre-
sentative of Farming and Com
mercial Interests of County

In line with the action of many
cities throughout the State and coul
ty Is at last aroused to the need of
commercial organization of
character that will meet the social
and material demands of the COM
munity.
Two weeks ago preliminary
meeting was held when the matter
was approached and the consensus
of opinion was that the perfecting
of such an organization should no.
longer be delayed and another meet
ing was held in the court house lass
Saturday night.
Many speakers at this meeting
outlined the possibilities of a com
merlcial body. stress being laid up
on the opportunities for seekin
avenues for marketing surplus pro
ductions and In keeping in close
touch with the market prices OF
nearby states.
II was agreed that the advantages
of the proposed organization would
be limitless as II would at all times
be the rallying ground for every
movement that had for its end the
betterment of the valley.
Emphasis was placed upon the
fact that the movement had for its
object the cementing of the rela-
tions between the residents of every
section Of the valley affording OPP
portunities for an interchange not
only Of ideas but OF experiences
whether in business transactions or
in methods OF farming.
As social organization 1t was
pointed out by many that its quart
ers should become the meeting and
rest place of the members and in
this respect would be most welcome
to those coming to town on business
or making evening calls.
Temporary officers we're appointed,
these to hold only until such time
as a membership would elect perma-
nent ones.
The effectiveness of a county or
ganisation II was declared could
only be assured through a support
which would include residents of the
sutire valley and committee $40
appointed to present the matter
to the farmers and others and to re-
port at a meeting to be called later.
One of the essentials for the sue
cess of the movement 1t was admit
ted was the question of quarters and
a committee was appointed for this
purpose and to report at the next
meeting.
J. w. Flood generously rendered
the use of his theater for an after
noon meeting at which he promiesd
to secure II possible Industrial films
that are now in frequent use in SINH
lar educational movements.
The temporary officers were J. C.
Jones. Chairman, II. A. Clarke, Sec
retary.
