The Red Cross Ready for Peace

THE following message has been telegraphed by the
War Council of the American Red Cross to each
of the 1857 chapters:
"On February 10TH last year. nearly six weeks be-
fore the United States declared war; National Red Cross
Headquarters advised its chapters to prepare for
That which has followed the record of the Red Cross
in helping to win this war and to relieve the suffering
growing out of it, constitutes something of which every
American citizen has right to be proud Every Ameri
can Red Cross worker must feel sense Of gratitude in
having had share in it all.
,,., The moment is now come to prepare for peace.
Until peace is really here and soldiers home there
can be no relaxation in Red Cross effort incident to
active hostities
But with peace let suppose that the
work of the Red Cross finished. Millions of American
boys still under Thousands of them are sick
and wounded. Owing the shortage in shipping it may
take to bring boys home from France.
But whatever the time protecting be about
them and their families the whole period which
must eapse before the normal life of peace be
sumed.
Our soldiers and sailors enlisted until the Com
mander in Chief tells them there is work for
them to do in the Let every Red Cross member and
worker-and this both men and women-show
returning soldiers and sailors that for their
health welfare and happiness enlisted for less
period than they are.
The cessation of war will reveal picture of misery
such as the world has never seen before especially in
the many countries which cannot help themselves The
American people will expect the Red Cross to continue
to act their agent in repairing broken spirits and
broken bodies Peace terms and peace conditions will
determine how best minister to the stricken
which have been narrowed by war, and for this
great act of mercy the heart and spirit of the American
people must continue to be modified through the Amer
lean Red Cross.
"On behalf of the War Council we accordingly ask
out the land to bear in mind the solemn obligation which
rests upon each to carry on We cannot abate one
instant in efforts spirits. There will be
abundance of work to do, and specific advces will be
given but at the moment of let Red Cross
worker falter.
"Our spirits must call US to show that not the

greatly and freely to its obligations and opportunity to

POOR 10 GETTING
ONTO WHITE WAYS

In the cold archives of the Office
of County Clerk Wilson reposes the
document of Willie Steve Morgan of
the Indian tribe so familiar to us
in which is embodied the complaint
that he has suffered excessive cruelty
at the hands of Dolly Morgan, whom
in the period OF loves young dream
he had taken to his bosom as his wife,
to love and cherish.
II is a sordid case divested OF the
charm of romance which the involv-
ing the name of another warrior
might have enhanced. 1t is the old,
old story of fresh young love blighted
almost in its early bloom by the in
trusion of mother-in-law.
Thus becomes a reality the beau
tiful picture drawn by our beloved
American poet Longfellow of Hiawa-
tha. the noble Mohawk. who had so
greatly advanced in all the higher
ideals beyond his tribe.

knowledge of the noble red man, is

long semester to inoculate us with.

the nuptial knot is. in this land of

distinction accorded the divorcee and

both famous and infamous by the
white man.
The spouse alleged to have inflicted
this extreme cruelty upon her once
lord is a comely maiden, educated
which. however, is not advanced as a
reason for the cruelty.-and would
serve well as character for Helen
Hunt Jackson story.
The sad feature of this unusual
case Is the thought so acutely forced
upon us of the corroding influences
of modern civilization, else why even

AS APPLIED TO INFLUENZA

An Arab fable has it that a trav-
eler met the Plague going to pay a
visit to Cairo. and out of curiosity
asked this distinguished parsonage
bow many he was going to kill. The
answer was to the point: "Three thou
sand"
The same traveller met the same
parsonage on his return and remon-
strated that he had slaughtered thirty
thousand instead of the stipulated
number.
"I only killed three thousand" was
the reply. "All the rest died from
fright of my name. ."-GLondon Satur

PREPARATION FOR
TEACHERS NEEDED

Natural talent must be prepared for
teaching, just as it is prepared for
law, medicine, or engineering. No
State in the Union has gone far
enough in teacher-preparation pro-
gram to supply its schools with good
teachers. More than 100000 teachers
out of $4,000 in the elementary
schools, are 10 years of age or less.
More than $4,000 have had no school
ing beyond the eighth grade. More
than 100000 teachers begin teaching
each September, and less than one
third of these have had any special
preparation for their work These
immature, unprepared teachers natur-
ally go to the schools that pay the
lowest salaries-the rural and village
schools.
Our democracy cannot boast equal
ity of opportunity as long as the facts
cited above are true of our public
school teachers. The nation is vitality
interested, and the states ought to be
encouraged and helped by the nation
to go on until there is a good teacher
in every school,
The bill now before Congress pro
vides $15,O00,0O0 annually. and de-
mands an equal amount from the
states, Ito cooperate with the states
in preparing teachers for the schools
particularly rural schools'-"to pre-
pare teachers, to encourage a more
nearly universal preparation of pros
pective teachers, to extend the facili-
ties for the improvement of teachers
already in service, to encourage
through the establishment of scholar
ships and otherwise a greater number
of talented young people to make ade
quate preparation for public school
service, and otherwise to provide an
increased number of trained and COM
petent teachers" This money is to be
apportioned on the public school
teacher basis, and amounts to s24.10
per teachers for the promotion OF
teacher preparation.
Nevada had 657 public school teach
ers in 1915-1916. She would receive
$15,S3370 for the purposes named
above. Doubling this amount would
make available a minimum of $751;
667.40 for teacher preparation in her
unsupported normal schools and
colleges.
If each state should equal the con-
gressional allotment with sum be-
yond what is now being spent for
teacher preparation, our nation would
soon occupy the pre-eminence in pub
lie school education that it occupies
in natural resources, production, man.

war. The safety and advancement of
democracy demands no less than thin

TRUCKEE- CARSON
PROJECT LACGARD

Advance copies of the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury, released
for publication today, include matter
of interest in reference to the True
kee-Carson reclamation project, the
center of which is the thriving town
of Fallon. Regarding this project the
report says:
"The Truckee-Carson project in Ne
yada is slowly extending its cultivated
area, but on a considerable portion of
the project the water table is high and
drainage is needed. A local associa-
ion in the neighborhood of Fernley
has organized and entered into obli-
cation to pay for drainage. and the
drainage works necessary in that re-
gion have been practically completed
with successful results. The neces-
sary organization on the south side
of Carson river to secure drainage
work has mot been formed. Slow
progress is being made in the settle
ment of the rights to the use of Lake
Tahoe and the storage reservoir, and
pending this settlement no further de-
velopment is feasible
Secretary Lane, who has been a fire.
quent visitor to Nevada, is thoroughly
acquainted with conditions in this
State, and hence his references to his
plan to place the returning soldiers
on the farms is of especial interest
On this matter, he says very small
sum of money placed now in the
hands of men accustomed to thought
would be of great value, and then he
goes on to say:
"The work that is to be done, other
than the planning, should be done by
the soldier himself. The dam or the
irrigation project should be built by
him; the canals, the bitches, the
breaking of the land, the building of
the houses, should, under proper di-
rection, be his occupation. He should
be allowed TO make his own home
cared for while he is doing it, and
given an interest in the land for
which he can pay through a long
period of years, perhaps thirty OF
forty years.
This same policy can be carried
out as to other classes of land, so
that the soldier, ON his return, would
have an opportunity to make home
for himself, to build a home with
money which we would advance and
which he would repay, and for the re-
payment we would have abundant Sc
curity The farms should not be given
over as the prairies were-unbroken
unfenced, without accommodations
for men or animals. There should be
prepared homes, all of which can be
constructed by the men themselves
and paid for by them under a system
of simple devising by which modern
methods of finance will be applied to
their needs.
"As I have indicated, this is not
mere Utopian vision. 1t is, with
slight variations, policy which other
countries are pursuing successfully
The plan is simple. / will undertake
to present to the Congress definite
projects for the development of this
country through the use Of the re-
turned soldier, by which the United
States, lending its credit. may in
crease its resources and its population

will take to study this problem

MIDWAY wins IN
APEX SETTLEMENT

Another modest apex controversy
which has been brewing quietly for
the past three months has come to a
head by reaching a cash compromise
after a protracted conference in Phil
adelphia. In this case the Tonopah
Midway Consolidated Mining Company
was the victor over the Tonopah Min
ing Company, the parent mining cor
poration of the camp, according to
the following telegram received at the
Office of the former company in To
nopah, signed by H. c. Brougher,
president of the Midway:
Have arranged settlement satisfac-
tory to the NJ dway. with vertical side
lines"
No details of the agreement were
vouchsafed. but the fact th tt the Mid
way won was sufficient for the stock
holders of that company, who were
rather reluctant about threatening
such a powerful corporation as their
antagonist. The evidence was all in
favor of the Midway, as established
by the extended research and survey
