Be A SOCIALIST"

The Socialist, along with the
Prohib.. Suffragette, Conserva-
ZIONIST and other ''cranks" are
slowly bringing about those blood
less revolutions, which some peo-
pie try to imagine have failed,
along with the fate of the various
minor parties.
The Socialist party is protest
against the too rapid increase of
the American millionaire, monopo.
list and plutocrat, so called. Thus
far we believe the great majority
of the American people agree with
them. But when it comes to rem
edy, such sympathizers divide into
two factions. The ''crank" or 10
be more polite, one faction, be-
lieves that the government should
take over all industrial plants and
operate them in such way that
it would in reality be contiscation
and redistribution of property, as
we'll as wealth.
The other faction of Socialists
believes in government ownership
and operation of certain industries
of vital nature-by States-when
they become monopolies-with the
federal authority operating only
the transportation lines and other
means of communication. This is
not to be done by any redistribu-
ton, but by the State establishing
new plants and operating them.
In line with this idea are the sew
eral amendments to the state con-
stitution which are to be voted on
at the coming general election. So.
Dakota. is the owner of a large
amount Of coal land cement lands.
The proposition is simply for the
State to ''exploit" them, by the
erection Of the necessary plants to
handle the coal and cement for the
benefit Of the public.
Following is a brief synopsis of
some of the amendments to be SUBJ
mitted, all of which The Press be-
lieyes should be adopted. The
thing to do is to adopt them and
then elect legislature that will do
business on the square:
Authorizing the state to engage
in works of internal improvement,
and to extend credit to associations
or corporations for such purposes.
State ownership and operation
of plants for the development of
power upon open streams and coal
lands owned by the state.
State insurance against loss or
damage to crops by hail.
State ownership and operation
| of grain elevators and warehouses,
| flour mills and packing houses,
State ownership and operation
of cement plants.
Authority for the state to engage
in coal mining and the distribution
and sale of coal.
A rural credits" amendment
would permit the state and coun.
ties to loan money and extend orc.
dit to the people of the state upon
real estate security.
The above and other amend.
ments are fully discussed and ex-
planned in 4s page pamphlet
issued by Gov. Norbeck which ev.
cry voter should apply for and
read. A copy of it can be seen al

NURSES NEEDED
 FOR GENERATION

However long the war endures, there are certain war needs that will be with us for generation, and the greatest of these is the demand for skilled women trained in nursing.
 The American Red Cross, engaged in enrolling nurses as reserve for the army and navy nurse corps; and for the civilian needs of the families of cur soldiers and sailors, recognizes what the need will be. Demands from foreign countries for American nurses to establish training schools come stadily. The children's bureau of the American Red Cross in France has answered French need by offer ing training in infant welfare nursing to French women.
 American nurses will play a large part in the reconstruction programs not only in the United States, but in all the allied countris.-Red Cross Bull letin.

CAUSED DEATH OF BA|R
MEMORANDUM FROM ARMY SUR
GEON Is RECEIVED
HERE

In a letter to DR.. j. l.. Mccarthy,
Isaac Bair. formerly of Goldfield
and now with the American army in
France, tells of the death of his
brother, Maurice Bair, on July "a
from wounds received in action.
Enclosed in the letter was a mem
orandum from an army surgeon,
which says that the young Goldfield
boy died as a result of a gunshot
wound in the lumbar region of the
back, together with fractures of the
second, third and fourth lumbar YER
tebrae, caused by a shell fragment.
These wounds, together with gas
gangrene in the region of them,
caused death. An operation was
performed and the wound was
closed.
The surgeon states that an au-
topsy performed the day following
death confirmed this. The soldier
was wounded July 81.
The memorandum says: "He died
as the result of wounds received in

DRAFTEDMEN
LEAVE FOR
CAMPS
JUNIOR RED CROSS GIVES
DANCE IN ELKS'
HALL

Deputy Sheriff Box, clerk of the
local draft board, says he ordered
the whistles blown this morning,
but that they we're back-ordered.
Despite that no whistles were
blown, a good-sized crowd arose
early and marched to the depot with
Jerry Kane, Charles Chem and Leo
Walsh, who left for Camp Lewis
under a draft call. In the parade,
for the first time, appeared the new
British flag recently ordered in San
Francisco by Englishmen in Gold
field and with it at the head of the
procession were the American,
French and Serbian banners. The
parade was led by the Eagles drum
corps. Kane was in charge of the
contingent.
The county quota of seven men
was completed by A. C. Dickel,
Lewis A. Briggs, Walter M. Wilson
and Roy B. Arrowsmith, who left
from points in California and Ari-
IONA.
One of the most enjoyable
dances of the year was given last
evening in Elks' hall by the Junior
Red Cross in honor of the departing
boys and to raise funds for the
juniors. The hall was prettily dec
Grated with American, allied, Red
Cross and Junior Red Cross banners
and the excellent music was enjoyed
by a large crowd. The dance netted
the Juniors over $40. The decora-
tions were put in place by w. H.
Houk, who devoted considerable
time to them; and they were ap-
preciated by the dancers.
On Friday the Junior Red Cross
will hold a sale of work at the old
Red Cross headquarters at the cor
ner of Main and Ramsey streets.
Refreshments will be served. Fri
day evenin the Juniors will hold
a parade, which it is planned to
make a big event.

WAR H0 RISES ARE
THOROUGHLY
TRAINED
ANIMALS PERFORM SURPRISING
DEEDS WHEN THEY KNOW
RIDERS

LONDON, Aug. 20. = A war
horse, before he is ready for service,
receives an education almost as
rigorous and comprehensive as that
of the recruit who rides him into
battle. When properly trained he
will face barbed wire and even rush
entanglements, regardless of lace
rated legs and TANKS.
After he has been accustomed to
have a man mount rapidly on his
sensitive back he is taught to kneel
with his rider. He has to be taught
to pull up in his own length from a
gallop, to stand steady while a rider
fires from his back and to lie still
on the ground while he is being
used as a cover for his rider who
snipes over his side.
One of the most difficult things
required of a war horse is to be-
come familiarized with the sword.
In warfare it is a common trick for
a cavalryman to aim his first blow
at his opponents horse, for no horse
will stand after being pricked on
the nostril or lip.
When a horse knows his rider
we'll he will perform surprising
deeds.
A brigade has been known to go
-,
then through a ~barbed-wire entan-
clement. Not long ago a Canadian
troop charged two lines of German
machine guns and rifles, wheeled
and then rode through them a sec
ond time.

AMERICAN FLYERS
EARN GRATITUDE
OF FRENCH PEOPLE
STOP FIRING OF BIG GERMAN
GUN BOMBARDlNG
TOWN
BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Aug. %. = A British
American airplane squadron in a
certain section of the front in
northern France won the everlast-
ing gratitude of the civilian popu-
lation of a little market town in
the mining district this week by
putting out of action a big German
gun which had started in to make
life miserable for the local inhabit-
ants.
The gun opened up very suddenly
one market day, at an hour when
the streets were at their busiest.
Without warning, about noon,
there was the crash of a terrific ex-
plosion in the central square, which,
by the way, was located more than
eight miles behind the front line.
Other explosions followed with
deadly regularity at intervals of 10
minutes. The death-dealer was a
~high-veolcity 15-inch gun of the
naval type. 1t was using shrapnel
and casualties among troops and
civilians were numerous.
The task of locating the gun vas
handed over to the nearby British
American airplane squadron, with
certain directions as to probabili-
ties. Within a few hours the task
was duly accomplished and photo
graphs we're brought in which show
ed the position plainly.
Unfortunately the job of putting
the big gun out of action was not
so simple. Its position was too far
back to be reached by the ordinary
counter-battery guns and howitzers,
and it happened that there were no
~long-range guns in the area capable
of dealing with it.
To bring such guns from either
part of the lines would mean con-
siderable delay and speed was vital.
1t was therefore decided that the
big gun must be bombed from air.
planes. And we'll bombed it was,
that very day, by the same squad
ron which had located it.

ARM BANDS TO Be
FURNISHED FOR
RECRUITS y
NEW RULE Is EXPECTED TO
PREVENT INTOXI-
CATION

In the near future a supply OF
arm bands, provided for in the Sc
lective service regulations, will be
furnished local boards in Nevada, to
be given indicted men and to serve
as a temporary uniform.
This new order has been made
effective because the attention OF
the war department has been direct
ed to the fact that in many instanc-
es registrants have reported for en-
trainment in an Intoxicated condi-
ton and confusion has resulted.
Anyone found selling liquor to a
man wearing an arm band will be
liable to the same penalty as if
found selling liquor to a soldier in
full uniform, as from the time the
men report to the local draft board
at the place of entrainment they are
in the service of the United States.
Leaders and assistant leaders of
contingents will be appointed as
special police to make certain the
regulations are obeyed.
In a short time the office of the
adjutant general expects to receive
a call for a large number of good
stenographers who have had legal
training. Men qualified for special
or limited service will be accepted
under the call.

Small Boy Steals Ride

When his mother sent him out to
play his father whipped him for go
ing, so he decided to run away.
This is the story Christopher Park,
a 15-year-old boy from East Ely told
a Southern Pacific officer at Sparks
a few nights ago when the officer
discovered him hiding under the
steps of a Pullman car on which he
had ridden nearly across the state.
He said he did not want to return
to Ely.
