The next annual meeting OF the
Nevada Federation of Woman's
clubs will be held at Elko. The
women of the Twentieth Century
club of hat city will be hostesses
on that occasion. 1t will be the
first meeting of this kind held in
Elko, and the club members will
be more than interested, since the
Nevada School of Industry is To-
Gated there-the school which the
legislature created through the in
fluence of the women. The Elko
club has been highly commended
for the splendid interest they have
taken in the school, a detailed ac-
count of which will be given at a
later date.
Following are the resolutions
passed at the last Federation meet
ing:
Whereas, The Lovelock Civic
improvement club and the Mer-
chants Association club have made
possible a most enjoyable and pro-
fitable session of the Nevada Fed
Grafton of Woman's clubs,
Be it resolved, that a letter of
thanks be sent the presidents of
these two clubs, expressing our
deep appreciation of their untiring
efforts in making this convention
so successful;
Be it further resolved, that let
ters of thanks be sent the news
papers of the state and the New
West Magazine of Salt Lake for
printing convention notes; to the
mayor of Lovelock for his help
full assistance throughout the en-
tire sessions and for his aid in
facilitating the stenographic work,
and to the Western Union tele-
graph operator for her assistance
with the night messages; also to
the school board of Humboldt
county for their kindness in al
lowing the use of the auditorium
for the use of the convention.
Whereas, as loyal American wo-
men, we, Nevada Federation of
Woman's clubs, record our desire
to support our government to a
final and complete victory in the
war,
Be it resolved, that it is the
sense of this convention that we
approve and uphold all adequate
laws for the punishment of those
who would hinder the prosecution
of the war,
Be it further resolved, that we
pledge ourselves to fulfill all re-
quests of QNr government for the
conservation of all food products
and all materials necessary to the
comfort and care of our soldier
boys.
Be it also resolved, that we give
our cooperating support to the
general federation request for the
construction of furlough houses in
France, to the Red Cross, to the
state council of defense, and to
the Liberty loan committee.
Whereas, 1t is our judgment
that there is a widespread demand
for national prohibition; therefore
be it

prosecution OF this war rests equally
UPON the shoulders of the men and
women of each state; and
Whereas, we believe that no wo-
mans auxiliary of any committee
a be effective as a committee
composed Jointly of men and wo-
men; and
Whereas, we believe the work of
the women Of the state will he more
effective and more perfectly co-ordi-
mated II women as we'll as men are
represented upon all deliberative
committees connected with the state
council of defense;
Be 1t resolved. that we respectful
ly call the attention of the gentle
men composing the state council of
defense to the fact that women are
not now represented on any such de-
Lucrative committees. in the hope
that they may see the effectiveness
of such cooperative measures, and
therefore appoint on the state and
county committees women who will
be actual members of such commit
tees;
Be it further resolved, that a
copy of this request be sent to Gov
ernor Boyle, Mr.. Hal Lennon and
the secretary of each county council
of defense.
Whereas, Pyramid Lake is the
most beautiful of Nevada's many
beaViful lakes; and
Whereas. 1t has an area of some
SO miles Of mildly alkaline water,
wherein salmon trout abound, and
where bathing and boating may be
enjoyed; and
Whereas, the climate surrounding
Pyramid Lake is perfect in summer
and winter for outdoor sports; and
Whereas, the beauty of the coral
pyramids on it's banks and amidst its
blue waters are a vast interest to
~sight-seers; therefore
Be it resolved, that a portion of
Pyramid Lake, not used by the In

Huntinr Make Good soldiers.

Hunting and fishing among officers and
men Of the canal zone department, u. S.
A., are encouraged by Brigadier- General
Richard NJ Blatehford, commanding.
Recent orders issued by him read;
"Any officer or enlisted man desiring to
hunt in the canal zone must obtain a
copy of the game laws of the zone from
his commanding officer, and must thor
oughly familiarize himself with the law
and comply with it.
at is the desire of the commanding
general TO encourage hunting and fishing
on the part of our officers and enlisted
men. There is no better way of becom-
ing acquainted with the country, the
trails and the jungle than by hunting,
nor is there any better way of training
men for scout duty than by stalking
game.
''All post commanders, therefore, will
not place obstacles in the way of officers
and enlisted men who desire to make
hunting trips into the Jungle, but viii aid
them in every practicable way

however, be carefully studied and COM

peace conference is to be reported
probably it will be interpreted" by the
Creel organization, too, but who cares
anything about that2 1t will be Gov
cred" by the top-notch men of the A.
p. and the first-rate newspapers Of the
country. Out of their wealth OF AL
material, the great press service and
papers will call up the best there is
for this big league work, men who think
straight, see clear, and speak to the
point, and assign" them to the job of
getting at the truth of the conference
all the way in and out between the
pomp and circumstances of it, and the
hidden springs of action, the very ex-
istence of which would not be suspected
by duller men. And we have the cate
gorica promise that this real news of
the conference shall have precedence on
the cables.
This being so-and there is no rea-
son to doubt it, for it is precisely what
the press went for when it let loose
against Creel- Burleson censorship-we
can stand for a whole lot of pompous,
paternalistic assurance that 1t was, for
just this thing that the original scheme
of Interpretation" and cable control
was worked out.
But, seriously, this is just 100 per
cent right. As we interpret the clause
in the constitution guaranteeing no
abridgement of a free press, it is not
intended so much to safeguard the press
