Broaden Your Mind.

Brush the cobwebs out of your mind.
Rid yourself of the rubbish Of preju-

content with surface thinking, which
Is not thinking at all. Form the habit
OF looking at everything from more
than one point of view. Balance,
weigh, test, observe, analyze, medi-

ions that are really your own and real
ly well based. Thus alone can you

British Day Proclaimed

When the anniversary of the Fall OF
United States, the prevailing senti-
ment was that of admiration and graft
tude toward France for her noble sac
rifices on the altar of liberty for our
good and that of the whole world.
1t seems fitting now that some ex-
preston of similar sentiments ought
in justice be made respecting the
splendid service done by the British
people.
At the request, therefore, of the Ma
tional British Day committee and
other national associations, l, Emmett
d. Boyle. governor of the state of Ne
vada. designate and appoint Saturday
December Z. 1918. as British Day in
recognition of the heroic work of the
British soldiers and sailors in defend.
ing Belgium, France and the United
States from our common foe
We recall that it was not interna-
tional law, but the British fleet which
kept the sea lanes open to our com
merce and closed to our enemies and
which defended us even before we had
begun to defend ourselves. We can
not afford to forget these facts. and
apprehend that we do not forget them
but that We will give expression to
our feelings of admiration and graft
tude toward Britain on British Day
l further suggest that appropriate OBJ
servance be made in the churches on
December s, 1918.

BASQUE BANK man
IN NEVADA DESERT

Il. NJ. Arias, 2S years old, an esti-
mable young man who for the past
eight months had been employed as
clerk in the store of B. j. Loinaz in
Winnemucca, passed away at an early
hour this morning. at the county hos
pital, after short illness caused by
the prevailing epidemic. No arrange
ments for the funeral have been an
nouhced.
Mr.. Arias had been in this country
since 1909. For a year and a half
prior to accepting the clerkship men,
toned he had been interested in the
Busch Hotel company here. He came
from Ayegi, Province of Navarro,
Spain, where his father was a banker
and the head of an influential and re-
spected family. Young Arias had been
employed in the bank at home and
was equipped with good education
by both school and the bank training.
According to his Winnemucca en-
ployer, who expresses a fine idea of
he young mans ability and character,
he was a most competent salesman.
md reliable person in every way.
Mr. Loinaz further says that his
dea is that young Arias was here
principally to "see the country" and
learn the ways of America. He had
intended returning to his birthplace in
The not distant future, and perhaps
taking UP his fathers banking busi-
ness. He had made many friends, not
lone among his own countrymen. but
with all classes of people in this vi
einity, and he was respected by all.
Mr.. Loinaz declares the place of
voung Arias will be hard to fill.

THANKSGIVING AND
BRITISH DAYS SET

Whereas. The President of the
United States has designated Thurs
day. the twenty-eighth day of this
month, as a day for special expression
of gratitude to Almighty God for His
manifest blessings and mercies
throughout the year,
Therefore, |, Maurice j. Sullivan,
lieutenant and acting governor of the
state of Nevada, by authority in me
vested, do hereby designate Thursday,
November 2S, 1918, as Thanksgiving
Day, and l invite the people of the
state of Nevada to cease from their
accustomed occupations on that day in
order more fully to express their
thanks in private and in public ac-
cording tot heir choice and habit.
If, year ago. we had just cause
for thanks that the spirit of freedom
had shown itself so gloriously in the
services and sacrifices offered by Ne
vada for the winning of the war, we
now have greater occasion for graft
tude because we have attained and
maintained all the things we held
nearest our hearts-the might of
right; the sovereignty of justice. and
the permanent yindication of the es-
sential principles of individual and
national liberty.

BOY TELLS SECRET
OF BRUTE MURDER

Sheriff j. w. Squires this morn
ing arrested one William Taylor, in
Room of the oxford building, for the
murder of Charles II. Lyshon. The
arrest was brought about by the con-
fession of Leonard Thompson. a 16-
year-old boy. who took Sam Gay into
his confidence Gay took the boy into
the sheriff's office, where the story
was brought out, following which the
arrest was made.
The facts of the case as revealed by
Thompson's confession are as fol-
lows:
About three weeks ago, William
Taylor and Charles II. Lyshon were
in Vegas, staying here several days.
They were travelling to Arizona in
Hudson super-six car. While here
in Vegas they had some disagreement
over money matters, but nothing
which appeared serious. They left
here in the car and went to Phoenix
After being there a short time they
left that city in the car, taking with
them the boy, Leonard Thompson.
The trouble between Taylor and Ly-
shon had not been settled, it appears.
When a few miles out of Phoenix,
Taylor, who was driving the car, told
Thompson to get out and screw down
the radiator cap. While Thompson
was out of the car. Taylor turned and
shot Lyshon. who was in the back
seat, through the head with a .45-
caliber Colts revolver. Taylor then
forced Thompson to assist him in dig
ging grave and burying the body in
place not far from the road, to.
which they drove the car. First, how
ever, Taylor took off Lyshon's clothes
and also his watch and other personal
effects. Thompson and Taylor then
continued the journey. At Mesa, Ari
zona, Taylor sold the car for 500.
After some wandering, the pair took
the train and came back to Vegas.
Here Thompson, living in fear that
Taylor would kill him also, and fear
full that the crime might be discovered
and he be implicated in it by Taylor,
decided to make a clean breast of the
whole affair. So far as known this is
the first knowledge which came to
light indicating murder. Thompson
has been taken back to Phoenix by
the undersheriff to locate the body.
Taylor will be kept in the county Jail
while the truth of Thompson's story is
being investigated
After being lodged in Jail and close
ly questioned, Taylor admitted the
killing, but claimed that Thompson did
the shooting and that he only assisted
in disposing of the body.-Las Vegas

MISSOURI CASE IS
PARALLELED HERE

As stated in the last issue OF this
paper, John X. Tullis, who was elected
November to the state assembly
from this county, was notified his
services as yardmaster at Inlay would
no longer be desired by the Southern
Pacific. the reason being ascribed tc
his activity in politics.
A similar case has been brought to
light in the state of Missouri, where
William NJ. Turbett, a machinist, re-
Gently elected representative in the
state legislation from Cole county, has
been summarily discharged by the
Missouri Pacific railroad with the
statement that his election was in vio-
lation of the director generals order
that railway men cannot hold political
office. Mr.. Turbett will appeal to the
director general and in the meantime
will continue as representative.
A test case will be made and the
railway brotherhood chiefs have an
nounced that they will go the limit in
fighting the discharge order.
Mr.. Turbett was nominated on tn
Republican ticket in August. two
weeks before the order was issued b
Mr.. McAdoo.
A strike was proposed by his fello
workers, but Mr.. Turbett persuade
them to stay on the job. He has callo,

brotherhood chiefs against the ord,r
In part the protest states:

either by official order or otherwise
to deprive them of that right.

TO INTENSITY WAR
SAYING CAMPAIGN

December is Nevada's honor month
and it is up to us to make good our
quota" says a communication from
the Nevada director of war savings.
Last June a pledge campaign was
made and there was signed up a total
of about $1,300,000 cash sales and
pledges. The plan is to cover the
state with an intensive man-to-man
canvass during December, to see that
these pledges are kept and that suffi-
cient additional cash sales are made
to bring the state total above the
original quota of $2,225,6S0.
The two billion dollars of war saw
ings stamps constituted an important
part of the nations war finance. 1t
was the sum set aside to be raised
from the small savings, the self-denial
and the patriotic sacrifice of our chill
dren and our adults of small means
who were unable 70 buy liberty bonds.
THE man, woman or child of Ne
vada who gives expensive Christmas
presents this year is false to the very
spirit of Christmas the communica-
tion continues. "The beautiful story
of the Christ child born in manger
must not be remembered this year by
the giving of useless trinkets when
half the world is starving and depend
ent upon us for clothes and warmth.
A gift of war savings stamps observes
all the traditional spirit it instills a
lesson of patriotism and thrift; it
brings the same warm responsive
glow without the feeling of selfish
if he had met friend that morning
gifts"
