What it Would Mean

The election of Superintendent
Bray's opponent would mean doing
away with deputy state superintend-
ents. the abolition of abdul and Ell
fective state supervision by eXper-

fence OF eleven years OF school pro-

These are but few OF the marvel

been prepared By the state department

A Progressive Leader

For years, as is we'll known, Mr..
Bray has been the progressive leader
OF our state in all measures for edu-
cationdl progress, and in the last ten
years he has given much attention TO
the introduction i'll our schools OF in
dustrial and vocational education. He
holds that any system OF education in
which child spends twelve years or
more OF his life in study and then
graduates from a high schoo. untrain-
ed to make his living, if necessary, is
a deplorable waste OF the taXpayer's
money and OF the child's time. He
wishes to see all the bots and girls OF
Nevada given opportunity for these
new and most practical features OF
education, - work now we'll under
way in Nevada, as both federal and,
state aid has been secured for it. For
the successful carrying to completion
OF this great work Mr. Bray is beyond
question the best fitted and equipped
educator i'll the state, and the most
resolute advocate OF progressive ed
ucation for our children. His re-
eiection at this time would be a most
lifting climax to splendid education
al career and a just recognition OF his
services in placing the school system
of Nevada among the best in the
nation.

his spirit OF enthusiasm and his pro-
gressive ideas into broader field en-

State Supervision Results

1t is we'll here TO note briefly few
facts that throw light on the value OF
state supervision as administered un-
der superintendent Ring and Bray;
In September 1907, State Superin-
tendent Ring with his five deputy SUI
perntendents took direct charge of
public school supervision under state
authority. The schools had been un-
der county or local supervision and
were In an unorganized and feeble
condition except in a few towns.
There were then 1905 school census
children reported as in the state with
only 1882 enrolled in the schools and
only 5000 in daily attendance. Under
eleven years of state supervision.
while the census had increased scarce
y l,4OO, the enrolment in 1918 was
nearly $1,000 and the daily attendance
10000. The high school enrolment
in 1907 was but scant 600. while in
1918 II had risen to over 1000. the
latter being an increase Of ISL per

OWNERS GET INDEMNITY FOR
TUBERCULAR CATTLE KILLED

The 1919 gricultural appropria-
ton bill just passed by Congress con-
tains an item expected to be OF great
importance in the Federal and State
campaigns to eradicate tuberculosis
among cattle and swine. 1t provides
that the Federal Government shall
pay indemnity to owners whose catt.e
are slaughtered because they have
been found infected with tuberculo-
sis
The Department OF Agriculture is
to pay one-third OF the difference be-
tween the appraised value OF the cat
tie and the salvage value OF the
slaughtered animals. provided that
the state, county or municipality in
which the cattle are owned and kept
IS COOPERATING IN the tuberculosis.
work and pays at least an equal
amount to the owner In no case is
the Federal Government to pay more
to the farmer than is paid by the
state, county or municipality. No
payment by the Federal Government
is to be more than $25 for any grade
animal or more than $50 Tor any
pure-bred animal, and no payment is
to be made unless the owner has
complied with all quarantine regu-
lations.
Expected to Remove Opposition
This provision is expected to re-
move much OF the opposition among
cattle owners that has hinde-cd tu-
berculosis eradication work. Thru
it the Federal Government, the
State, 6o,iVty or municipality and
the owners OF the cattle will share
in the loss resulting from slaughter
ing infected animals Tor the protect
ion OF other animals not injected.
Another important Development
expected TO hasten tuberculosis Grad
ication was the unanimous adoption
by the breeders and live stock sani>
tarians OF national reputation OF reg
ulations for accrediting pure-bred
herds OF cattle This action, taken
last December, marked the co-ordil-
alton of efforts OF individuals and
the State and Federal Governments
for the suppression OF tuberculosis
in pure-brcd animals.
On July !, the department issued
its first list OF herds officially credit
ed as free from tuberculosis The
herds numbered on that date approx
matcly 240. The list also named
herds that had passed one success
jul test. They must pass another an
nual test successfully before being
placed on the accredited list.
Animal Loss is Big
The annual loss from tuberculo-
sis among cattle and hogs is reck-
oned at $40,000,0G0 in the United
States. The Federal campaign is OF
comparatively recent beginning, 1T
has been divided into three well de-
fined projects The first project is
the eradication of tuberculosis from
individual herds OF pure-bred cattle
the second is TIE eradication of cat
tie tuberculosis from circumscrihed
areas; the third is the eradication OF
tuberculosis among swine.
1t is estimated by officials in close
touch with available records that Is
per cent OF pure-bred cattle in this
country are affected with tuberculo-
sis. In grade cattle and swine the
percentage of infection is grad
ually increasing, as shown by post
where meat inspection is maintain

All sweaters should be made twenty-five inches long. Many inquiries have come to Division Headquarters recently as to the proper length. and sweaters have been received varying in length from 21 to 25 inches. Notwirh- standing the several views on subject, our instructions are to make them full 25 inches and until these specifications are altered they should be followed by those having the work in hand. <

And this must be done regardless of how much substi- tutes the customer may already have on hand Relating to the fishing indus try Mr. Gunnison emphasized that every person engaging in fishing this year must take out a fishing license.

Though ike meeting was not largely advertised; over thrae hundred fiss,trnlci, anG Hbesiliess nen assembled st3he Rink S4ast night, to protest ;.gaiasl;;ssii;s' iaa- portation of alien aenena$ fisher men. ''s> ts. - .''- ;
 Hon. P. C. Mccormack was made chairman. n.and L. A: Olsen secretary.
 Mr. Mccormack in his opening address characterized the impor- tation of these fishermen as an affront to loyal American citizens robbing them of the employ ment that should belong to them. 'Alaskans have more than done their share in aiding the govern ment in the prosecution of the war, and they deserve better treatment than to allow enemy , aliens to come in and rob them of their livilihood. ;
 Mir. McCormack's speech was loudly applauded, and apparently the only question in the minds of the people there was how best to bring this matter to the notice of the food administration, and to others that have power to act. Resolutions were read. referred to a committee consisting of
 W. H. Warren, P. C. Mccormack, 1 G. H. Toz;er, Vim. H. Lewis and Arnt Sorset, with power to act.
 J. W. Pritchett, David Daley and H. P. Corser were appointed as a publicity committee.
