ment how proud the world will be
of their boys when the history of
the war is written. The turning
point came in France when these
pennsylvania boys stopped the Huns
and every man of that regiment is
a hero forever"
Lieutenant Arthur Nelson. of
Kane. member of the One Hundred
Twelfth Regiment, formerly the
Sixteenth, arrived in Kane yester-
day. Nelson has been detailed for
duty at a southern camp to teach
recruits the latest methods of war;
fare, says the Kane Republican.
Lieutenant Nelson states that H.
Company. of Ridgway, was the first
across the Vesle in the big advance
of last July.
That any ill-effects resulted from
any of the experiences of Lieutenant
Nelson, such as undergone by other
Kane and Oil Country men, Is belied
by his appearance. He denies he
has taken on weight, but his phys
ical htness, II common to all troops
of Uncle Sam, makes it easy to un-
derstand why the Germans do not
wish to come to grips and are quick
to yell "Kamerad"-whic leads by
way of illustration to the last of
incidents that Lieutenant Nelson re-
lated.
"A runner was coming from
IFismette, under fire, making his
way to battalion headquarters, and
walking along behind him was a big
Boche with a rifle. / guess the run
ner never saw him. Some yelled to
him. Look what is following YOU"
He looked around, disgust registered
in his expression. but he kept on to
headquarters, the Boche following
him all the way and surrendering.
The Yanks are going to have q lot
of other Germans doing the old
Tray act. The Oil Country men
have done their. share"

GOV. BOYLE TO TAKE UP
RECLAMATION PROBLEMS
Present Visit Of Executives to WASH
ington Concerns Matters Vital
To This Project

The welcome news comes from the
executive chamber that not the least
important mission of Governor e. d.
Boyle in Washington is to take up
reclamation matters with the au-
thorities with view of immediate
action upon the thousands of acres
of uncultivated lands throughout the
State.
From every point of advantage
the lands on the Truckee-Carson
Project so frequently referred to by
the Standard now lying unproduc-
tive will undoubtedly claim the first
attention in this national movement
of preparation for the returned SOL
diers.
From California comes the echoes
of rejoicing that Secretary of the
Interior Franklin X. Lane proposed
the scheme for taking care of
great many returned soldiers and
one of the California papers refers
to that state as the most progressive
In the Union.
1t is doubtful II California can
much longer lay claim to such a
prestige as the demand for such ac-
tion as will throw open the 10000
and more acres which form part of
this project has become so insistent
that the termination of the sense
lessly delayed suit cannot be longer
deferred.
Scarcely week passes that in
quiries are not made as to the reas-
ons for the neglect of this splendid
acreage with It's vast possibilities
and members of the recently organ
lied irrigation district have stated
that no more important measure is
before the people today than the re-
deeming of these lands and placing
them with the productive area of the
state.
1t Is the intention to formally ap-
peal to the Truckee-Carson Project
MdndScI requesting uchultc iuioi uid
ton as to the probability of immed-
late action regarding the opening up
of the lands now lying idle.
If 1t develops that the local repre-
sentative of the government is with
out authority in the matter further
appeal will be made to the consti-
tuted authorities in Washington.
AS has been well stated by.one of
the members of the Irrigation
Board If the government is to fulfill
its obligations to the boys who have
sacrificed so much for US the time is
ripe for the preparation of the lands
in various sections of this project
that will prove of tremendous ma
terial advantage to the entire state
and provide the means of self sup
port for the boys from overseas.

JAMES GARFIELD cAULT
ANSWERS FINAL SUMMONS
For Fourteen Years One of the
Most Efficient Employees of
Reclamation Service

1t is not too much to say that
the announcement Of the death last
Wednesday of James Garfield Gault,
Superintendent of Irrigation OF the
U. s. Reclamation Service. affected
deeply practically every settler on
the project.
One Of the most efficient officers
OF the service he was witha! one of
the most universally courteous and
obliging. While intensely loyal to
the government which he so faith
fully served for a period of fourteen
years, In the consideration of
the many perplex problem s
incident to his position he never
lost sight of the rights of the
individual settler and when these
questions were settled II was pro-
verbal that they were invariably
settled right.
The Truckee-Carson project was to
Jimmie Gauit as he WAS familiarly
called. his religion. Its growth and
development his dominating thought,
and his exceptional knowledge OF its
character and needs was OF invalu-
able benefit both to his government
and the homesteader.
The ties that linked him so close
ly and affectionately with his i'm

his efficiency and his loyable char

BUY war SAVING STAMPS
AND keep YOUR PLEDGES

Fellow Nevadans: December Is
Nevada's Honor Month" and 1t Is
up to Us to- make good our quota.
Last June we made pledge cam
paign and signed up a total of about
$1,300,000 cash sales and pledges.
We must now cover the state with
an intensive man-to-man canvass
during December to see that these
pledges are kept and that sufficient
additional cash sales are made to
bring our state total above our orig
inal quota of Sz,225.6S0. And we
will go over the top here, as we
have done In every drive that has
been made since our nation entered
the war.
The two billion dolalrs of war saw
ings stamps constituted an import
ant part Of the nations war finance.
II was the sum set aside to be raised
from the small savings, the self de-
nial, and the patriotic sacrifice of
our children and our adults of small
means who were unable to buy lib
erty bonds.
The man, woman or child of Me-
vada who gives expensive Christmas
presents this year is false to the very
spirit OF Christmas. The beautiful
story of the Christ child born in a
manger must not be remembered
this year by the giving of useless
trinkets when half the world is
starving and dependent upon US for
clothes and warmth. A gift of war
savings stamps observes all the ira
ditional spirit; 1t instills lesson of
patriotism and thrift; 1t brings the
same warm responsive glow without
the feeling of selfish qualification
that comes from inutile gifts.
Let us spread this message through
every possible agency. Let us end
our Honor Month" by an oversub-
scription. To do so We must reach
every citizen of Nevada against
next month with an appeal that they
buy the limit of war savings stamps
not thrift stamps, as 1t is too late
for them now.
With the hope that your cooper
alton will be as hearty and as cord
ial as II has been all year, am, very
sincerely yours.

As an aftermath Of the pleasantly
spent evening and under the SHIN.
mering beams of fitting moon al
the hour when graveyards are sup
posed to give up their ghosts two
prominent ladies Of the party were
observed exchanging foot coverings
at our principal business corner.
II developed that one of the
young ladies whose catholic disposi-

not too careful scrutiny of apparel
at the close of social functions pos.
sessed herself of a pair of Cinderel-
las which another member OF the
party had prior lien upon.
II was said that there was little
debate at the home Of the hostess
last Saturday as to where to begin
the search and at once the owner
sought her friend with the result OF
the usual amicable adjustment oi
the matter.

WINTERY BLASTS KE[NLY
FELT IN new HIGH SCHOOL
Heating Plant Fsdls to Heat and
Glasses Are Forced TO
Abandon Rooms

There is an adage of ancient line
age to the effect that where there is
smoke there must be fire but al
though smoke enough issues from
the High School chimney to remind
one of the days when Pittsburg
earned the title of Smoky City" ac-
cording to the testimony of faculty
and pupils our up to the minute
High School bears closer resemb-
lance to a cold storage plant than a
structure that during several hours
of the day is the home for a couple
Of hundred budding intellects.
During the past two weeks there
have been many days when the
blood Of the occupants was at the
congealing point according to those
whose duty demanded their presence
in the building and on one day last
week the novel sight was witnessed
of a class seated on the sands in
front of the building which the
suns rays made of comfortable
warmth and where the studies were
continued during the morning period
At times the class rooms took on
the appearance of a display of win
ter fashions both teachers and lady
students being heavily gowned In
! such wraps as only a low tempera-
trre invites and even then 1t was
elaimed that the rooms were too un-
comfortable for efficient work.
TIE singular feature of the mat
ter Is that while the difficulties with
the, heating plant were of almost
general knowledge In the communi-
" the members OF the High School
board were in abysmal ignorance of
he existing conditions.
From statements by members of
the board II is learned that the OBJ
iigation Of the company that in
stalled the plant to provide proper
heat in every class room during
weather as low as zero on the out
side is covered by suitable bond
and that the company gives positive
assurance that the plant is in every
manner adapted for the demands of
the building 1t is the belief of
TIE board that there is some minor
trouble which the experts of the
company can easily correct. one OF
wiom is expected to inspect the ap-
paratus within a few days.
But pending the restoration of the
expensive adjunct to the complete
ness of the building to its proper
functions the dread thought is ever
before us that the low atmospheric
conditions may so solidify the intel
lectual activities of the ambitious
students as to deprive the world of
much that might be of inestimable
benefit to H.
Let the hope of faculty and stu
dents rest In the motto Sublata
causa toIlitur effectus
