ANGEL OF DEATH CALLS
MISS BLANCHE MARTIN

The Angel OF Death visited the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Martin
and called the soul OF their elder
daughter, Blanche Alice last Sunday
evening, December Is, 1918. She had
influenza with the other members OF
the family but her case was much
more serious than the others. She
hovered between life and death for
three days battling with all her youth
fu1 vigor against the grim destroyer,
only to loss the struggle in the end.
Blanche was born here ia Mason
Valley, attended the Yerington pub
lie school OF which her father is :
trustee, and at the time Of her death
was in the freshman class Of the
High School She was born April
7, 1904, being fourteen years and
eight months old. These years have
been a Joy to her parents and her
relatives, a pleasure to her teachers
and time of good fellowship. 10
her young companions for she was
justly popular, with 2 gay viyaeity
that charmed young and old alike.
She was allowing daughter and sister.
splendid student, and gave promise
OF ideal womanhood.
Besides her devoted parents, a sis
ter Mabel and a brother Stanley
mourn her early passing. She was
the granddaughter OF Mrs. Alice
Martin, one Of the pioneer residents
of Mason Valley.
! The funeral was held Thursday
morning with the service at the grave
DIR. Dixon officiating. Mr. Martin
her father, was the only member oi
the immediate family who was able to
attend.
Many OF the friends whose heart
have ached for these bereaved one:
have thougt how true are the words
of the poet:
There is no flock, however we'll at
tended,
But one dead lamb is there.
There is no 6reside, howso'er de
Tended,
But has one vacant chair.
She is not dead. the child of our af-
! lection,
! But gone unto that school
Where she no longer neegs oul
poor protection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
In that great cloister's stiffness anC
seclusion,
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sins
pollution,
She lives, whom we call dead.

PROMINENT
CITIZEN Dies
D. ]. BUTLER FLU VICTIM

To the friends who met Jacky
Butler uptown Saturday the news OF
his death Sunday night came as a
distinct shock. He had not been in
good health for about year, in fact
had been under the Doctors care and
had not recovered his strength after
the operation when his eye was re-
moved two months ago. He was sick
only one day, the influenza becoming
pneumonia which his already enfeeb-
led heart could not stand.
Dilno Jackson Butler was born in
Scotland Co, Missouri, November l.
1906 His mother was sister of the
Wilson Bros. and Jacby came to New
ada when he was seventeen to work
for his uncle Dave Wilson here il
Mason Valley. His father made sew
era1 trips across the mountains dur
ing the early years but finally re
turned to Missouri to reside
After he had left His unele's ranch
he began teaming for himself and
carried on that work the rest of his
life. He was in Tonopah and Raw
hide with his teams when they were
new camps and was well-known all
over the western part. OF the state.
On March ID, 1904 he was married
to Miss Lura E. Pursel and few
years later they moved to the ranch
upon which they made their home
until recently and which they still
own. His latest venture made him
a partner with w. T. Luce in thS
Yerington Mercantile Company.
He leaves to mourn his loss, hi:
widow, twA sons, Corporal James
Grover Butler, Co. H, 364 Inf 81 Div
U.SA. and Clair, and one daughter
Miss Opal, as we'll as a sister, Mrs
S. c. Burgess, who makes her home il
Missouri.
| The funeral arrangements will no
be made until word has been receiv
ed from James, in reply to the cable
sent him. Mrs Butler feels that h,
ought to be here if possible.
i Mr.. Butler was pioneer CT th'
valley, man amongst men, kins
husband, a devoted father and
worthy citizen. He numbered anon,
his relatives all the pioneer familie
of the valley and his friends are lie
gion. His family are receiving tn,

RENEW YOUR RED
CROSS MEMBERSHIP

The American Red Cross Christ
mas Roll Cali commences December
10 and ends December %.
There will not be another war
drive, but the American Cross will
depend upon its enlarged mdember-
ship for funds to forward the great
work vet to be accomplished in a
stricken world.
The peoples OF the invaded coun-
tries Of Europe are lett by the war IN
a most deplorable condition. The
families OF some OF our soldier boys
who fought for our safety and our
liberty need comforting in their suf-
fering.
The American Red Cross must
carry on. Those OF us who have
been protected from the horrors OF
war - those OF us who have been
free to go about our daily affairs in
peace and security must give need
ed support.
There is only one way LETT for us
10 show our appreciation of services
performed, and that way is by answer
ing present, and by accepting MEM
bership when the roll is called by the
loyal and persistent solicitors who are
about to afford everyone an opportu-
nifty to become a member OF this Won
derful organization.
Statistics OF the membership at pres
ent throughout America show that the
Pacific Division now leads he thir-
teen Divisions of the country in en-
rollment, in proportion 10 population
These figures show 300.H members
for every thousand residents of the
States OF California, Nevada and Ari-
zona.
The population OF these three States
is approximately 100000. Our aim
is to secure 100 per cent enrolment.
To accomplish this result means that
every member OF every committee IN
the organization plan of the Division
must do his or her full share.
Every section in the three States
in the Pacific Division has been thor
oughly organized; the foundation for
the campaign has been carefully laid.
For months past, the newspapers,
fraternal organizations, schools and
churches have been lending every
assistance. All are cooperating TO
the fullest extent with the Roll Call
Chairmen and committees to make the
week of December 10 to % Cross
Week tremendous success.
II every worker in the cause bends
his or her every energy to the task,
our objective will be attained. and the
largest possible percentage of mem
bers will be enrolled on Americas
great honor roll the American Red
Cross.

-FOUR Minute MEN
ARE RELEASED

The Four Minute Men have been
released from farther work. That the
campaigns they furthered, the morale
thew strengthened, the loans they
helped over the top we're appreciated
is plain from a dozen different testi-
monials. Space permits the reprint
,of oaly one.
"on November 2oth, 1918, just be-
fore he sailed Tor Euzope, the Pres
ident added the keystone TO the arch
Of appreciattve comIcnt on the war
work OF the Four Minute Men, in the
following letter acknowledging re-
ceirt of the final report on their work;
Il have read with real interest the
report OF your activities, and / wish
TO express my sincere appreciation OF
the value to the Government OF your
effective and inspiring efforts. 1t IS
3 remarkable record OF patrlotoc ac-
complishment that an organization o.
seven4y-fve thousand speakers should
have carried on so extensive a work at
a cost to the Government OF little
more than one hundred thousand dol
lars for the eighteen month period
less than one dollar yearly on an IN
dividual basis. Each member Of your
organization, in receiving honorable
discharge from the service. may just
ly feel a glow OF proper pride in the
part that he has played in holding
fast the inner lines. May | say that
/, personally, have always taken the
deepest and most sympathetic inter
est in your work, and have noted from
time to time, the excellent results you
have procured for the various de-
partments Of the Government. Now
that this work has come TO its con-
clusion and the name of the -Four
Minute Men, (Which | venture to hope
will not be used henceforth by any
similar organization) has become a
part OF the history OF the great war,
could not willingly omit my heartfelt
testimony to its great value TO the
Sc uouezlUAlo ol p9spu! pup Anuno,
p whole. during the period of national
trial and triumnh | shall always keep
in memory the patriotic cooperation
and assistance accorded me through
out this period and shall remain deep
~ and sincerely grateful u all who
like yourselte have aided so nobly n
the achievement of our aims.
