One by one the Pioneers Of Mas
on Valley are crossing the great di-
vide. We chronicle today the death Of
Gilbert Benjamin Waldo who passed
from this lie July s, 1918, at $40
am Mr.. Waldo had lived in Mason
Valley since 1867, coming west from
Chicago, Ill where he was born on
June 10, 1872
He had a most peculiar experience
during the Civil Wer, being one of
the few men who fought on both
sides in the great conflict. 1t hap
pened in this way; when war broke
out in '6l young Gil was in Arkan-
sas cutting timber. He was prompt
ly drafted into the Confederate forces
and fought with them against his
convictions until the battle of Shiloh,
where he and another boy concealed
themselves in swamp until they
were picked up by the Pnion forces.
They worked their way north, finally
reaching Madison, Wis. where Mr..
W aldo enlisted In the Union army,
and was mustered out on June ID,
1865.
MIR. Waldo was married to Mrs.
Sarepta Ames September IS, 1879,
who has shared his joys and sorrows
and is now left alone to mourn his
loss. There are no other near rela-
tives OF the deceased.
During his residence of fifty-one
years in Mason Valley no man was
held in higher esteem than Mr.. Wal

NEVADA HAY MUST
REMAIN IN STATE

No California, Utah, Oregon hay or
cattle from any other state will he
fed in Nevada this year, according to
orders made recently by the food ad-
ministration The ruling was made
because Of the fact that surveys Of
the state hay crop indicate that there
will not be any more than enough
hay to feed Nevada cattle this year,
but in case it develops later that the
hay crop is large enough the order
may be modified.
The same ruling applies in Cali
fornia where the hay crop Is very
short and il will not be possible for
Nevada cattle owners to take cattle
to California to feed them. Provis-
ions are being made, however, by the
food administration TO arrange with
Kansas and other middle western
states to ship Nevada cattle into those
states for feeding if the hay crop III
this state is not sufficient and indica-
tons are now that large number
of cattle will have to be shipped.
The new regulations issued by the
food administration will not be opera
tive in Nevada, California and Ari-
zona according TO ruling received
from the federal administration. I'm
der the new rulings meat can be serv-
ed for one meal a day only, but be-
cause OF the shortage OF feed in the
three states the food administration
decided that it would be better to eat
the meat than to allow the cattle to
starve.
1t will not be possible for hay IN
Nevada to soar to prices recorded
last year when the allied govern
ments were buying hay and paying
the high prices for IT. Under ar
rangments just completed with the
allied governments the food admins
tration in Nevada and in all the west
ern states will do the purchasing OF
all products from the different states
for the United States as well as Tor
the allies, and sine. The expendH-
ure OF great sums OF money each
month BY the food administration
for diiierent products the food admin
istration is in a positon TO stabilize
tine prices.
The fod administration will do
all the buying for the allies IN this
state from now on. said Ii. \. Lem
mon. and il not only intends to keep
the prices at some reasonable point,
but il also intends TO keep the pro-
ducts OF this state that are needed
here from going out OF the state.
For instance. last year England and
France and other Nalied countries
needed nay. They went into Cali
fornia and kept raising the price OF
hay to such an extent that thousands
OF tons OF hay were shipped out OF
California when that hay was needed
at home to feed the dairy cattle and
thousands OF cattle starved and many
dairies were put out OF business and
milk and butter prices scared. The
same was true in Nevada to a GER
tain extent.
This is what the food administra-
ton intends TO prevent. Renchers
who have hay for sale will be assured
OF fair price for their product. They
will be paid the maximum market
price and it will not be possible for
any big cattle men or hay buyers to
keep the price OF hay down below
legitimate figure.
mention hay especially because
that was the commodity that was
mostly affected last year. The same
will be true of other ducts, how
ever" - Free Press.

TO OUR READERS

The Blade sees much that needs
reforming among our people.
But our policy is constructive,
not destructive. We aim to build
mp and improve, not tear down.
Any public institution among
MS that is badly managed and
yet deserves to live. we will try
to reform and make truly useful
to the people. Any bad practice
we see we will try to root up and
east aside.
AS a general rule we have no
quarrel with individuals. We
will fight individuals only in
cases where they assume public
functions and engage in public
penSe of the public without rem.
dcring any benefit in return. In
short we are the enemy of all
activities to the detriment of the
public, or where they profit al
the expense of the public without
rendering any benefit at the ex
fakirS and grafters. This is the
legitimate mission of public

"a CITIZEN"

A Citizen presumably color
ed, because his letter appears in
the colored column, writes the
Editor of the Afro American
News, in the Madison Democrat
criticism Of the Blade s attitude
toward segregation. AS might
have been expected, his attack is
upon us and our motives rather
than upon the principle we adj
yOcate. 1t seems to be a weak
ness of certain people-many of
them orr own people, we regret to
say 49, to impugn the motives Of
every person who does not agree
with them, in the meanwhile los
ing sight of the great principle in
volved. a careful perusal Of our
editorical will disclose that this is
exactly what we avoided. We
did not, nor did we intend to, at
tack the Democrat, the editor Of
the colorcd news nor the motives
Of either. In fact we commended
the motives, praised the articles
and inferentially commended the
editor.
We did say, ard we repeat it
now, "a Citizen to he contrary
Notwithstanding, we can discern
no difference in princiL lie between
a Jim Grow ear on tie railroad
and a Jim Crow column in a
newspaper. In each instance it is
segregation based entirely upon
color or race indentity. They
differ only in that one is required
by law to which one must submit
if he would reach his destination !;
the other is wholly a matter Of
choice. In the one case you are
forced to yield if you would en-

yield to tickle your vanity.

opinion Of colored MAN. but it
bears on the earmarks of the ar
guments employed by narrow
white men who advocate separa-
ton Of the races in all things. 1t
is the sophistry used by the south
to foster its segregation ordi-
nances, separate car laws and
other forms of race discrimina-
tions, and at the same time hyp-
notize the colored people into the
belief that they like it. If "a
Citizen" regards it as desired
distinction" to be thus put off
to themselves not suggregated
we feel certain his cup of JOY is
filed to overlooking by the De-
mocrat of December %. In the
issue of that date the colored
news appears on a page all to it
self except for the companion
ship of paid advertisements and
"A comic cartoon. Not another item
of reading matter appears there
on.
"a Citizen" evidently belongs
to that class of Negroes who by
their words and deeds, for nearly
300 years kept themselves and
their fellows in slavery, and who
since emancipation have dis
couraged every effort to improve
their condition. Broad minded
white men who would eXpouse the
black mans ease are deferred by
the satisfaction and contentment
displayed by these Negroes. And
