WAsHiNoroN, Nov. 1s.--The move by
the Administration to take over the cable
companies. the expected request to Con-
gross to extend war powers after the
war and the continued control over cot
ton export. combined to-day to stir Re-
publ!cans and Democrats alike in the
Senate against a strong drift toward
paternalism which they had hoped would
cease with the cessation OF hoStilities.
The attitude of all the Republicans in
the Senate may be reduced to a definite
statement at a conference to be held to-
morrow. TIL original reason for calling
, the conference was to approve the sub
stitute for the Weeks resolution to pro-
vide for Congressional reconstruction
committees At this conference II was
promised the plan for opposing extern
sion of war powers to the President VIII
be reduced to concrete form.
With the opposition OF the Republi
cans to this tendency of the Administra-

Republicans were particularly bitter

without much comment because the war

Senators were unable to see what expla-

eventual Government ownership.

An example OF the Democratic atti-

illustrated in a resolution Introduced by

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT
ON THE EAGLE

As the result OF close application
to his duties as publisher Of the
Eagle" for the past ten years D. E.
Williams announces his intention to
take needed rest and has entered
into an arrangement with Chester
A. Dimond whereby the latter has
taken over lease of the business
which includes the printing depart
ment for a period of one year.
The close association of Mr.. Di-
mond with the business for several
years gives assurance of its safe con-
duct during the absence of the own
er and the Standard extends the
heartiest good wishes to the new
manager for his success and also
the hope that the freedom from the
carking cares of a newspaper may
restore our neighbor and journals

Death IN ROCHESTER OF
FORMER FALLON TEACHER

News of the death in Rochester
of Mrs. Herbert Marshall who was
intimately known to many in this
valley as Miss Emma Stevens
teacher in the second grade in Fal-
lon in 1916 was received with deep
sorrow by her many warm friends
here.
The Lovelock Review-Miner gives
the Following account of her death:
Among the sad deaths from the
epidemic which has been so bad In
the camp Of Rochester for the past
ten days is that of Mrs. Herbert
Marshall, who had been the teacher
in the school there for some terms
past, and who was beloved by all of
host of acquaintances, not only in
that camp, but throughout the en-
tire county.
| Upon the nations call, Mr.. Mar
shall had enlisted in the navy and
the sad word of his wife's death
reached him back in Virginia. He
replied that he would be able to
reach San Francisco today.
The remains were shipped from
Lovelock Monday, accompanied by
the father and brother-in-law, JOS
eph Nenzel, and were held in San
Francisco awaiting the arrival of the
husband Interment in Cypress
Lawn cemetery in San Francisco
Monday.

RETURNS FROM VISITING
SCHOOLS OF HIS DISTRICT

Having visited such schools as
were not still closed by the epidemic
in Humboldt county Chauncey
Smith, deputy superintendent re-
turned to his office in Fallon last
week and has aimee been engaged in
visiting those of the rural schools in
this county that he had not reached
earlier in the fall.
In Humboldt county Mr. Smith
says he encountered roads where
the snow was six inches deep and
others where the mud was too deep
for words Districts he visited be-
tween winnemucca and here on this
last trip were those at Mill City,
Dun Glen. unionvple, Star, INLAY,
Humboldt, Oreana, Fairview, Big
Meadows and the elementary and
high schools at Loveloek.
From what he has seen and heard
on this trip he says Fallon should
consider itself exceedingly fortunate
to have escaped so lightly from the
ravages of the epidemic. He has
heard of only one other large town
In the State where the schools have
been able To stay open. In some of
the towns of our neighboring coun-
ty he reports that teachers did val
liant and timely work as volunteer
nurses and that their efforts un-
doubtedly resulted in the saving of
lives. The people in such towns ap-
preeiated the help greatly.

NIGHT MESSAGE RATES
FOR THE PACIFIC COAST

While other sections of the coun-
try have always had the benefit of
reduced rate for short overnight
messages without restrictions, the
Pacific coast has never had the BEN
eft of night message rates except to
comparatively nearby points. This
has now been corrected by Postmas-
ter General Burleson who has order
ed that effective January 1st uni
versal system of night messages at
greatly reduced rates shall obtain In
all parts of the country. Manager
c. ]. Rodgers of the local
Western Union Office advises that
under the new schedule of night
message rates the people of the
Pacific coast will have a rate as
low as so cents for messages of ten
words to New York and other places
on the Atlantic Seaboard, with an
added charge of only 2 cents per
word for additional words. To Chi
cago where the night message rate
has been 60 cents and cents for
each additional word the new tariff
is only As cents plus cents for ad.
ditional words, while corresponding
reductions are made throughout the
system. To nearby points the mini
mum rate is reduced from rs cents
to 20 cents,
There is a very large and con-
stantly increasing need for quick
communication across the continent
which this new system Of short over
night letters at cheap rates is vel
designed to meet. 1t sohuld prove q
great boon to business interests on
the Pacific Coast. by bringing them
into close touch with all parts OF the
country at a very low cost.

MOVEMENT TO RECOGNIZE
DRAFT BOARD SERVICES
Eastern Organizations Urge Suitable
Recognition of Important I.abors
of Selectiye Draft Boards

There is movement on foot
which had it's inception in the east
ern states to in some manner recog-
nize the very essential services of the
selective draft boards.
Probably no other civilian board
whose duties were SO closely allied
with the war had so pressing and
arduous tasks imposed upon them
and it would seem only just that the
government should show its appreci-
alton of the work these boards ac-
complished in the creation of the
army.
Many suggestions have been made
as to the form which this should
take such as a medal, diploma or as
seems more fitting some brevet title.
1t is said that it Is not with
view of receiving title merely that
this plan has been advanced but as
will undoubtedly be the outcome of
peace various organizations will be
formed and 1t would seem but fair
that a body of men whose duties
were linked with the military, that
the draft boards should have such
recognized standing as to warrant
their association with these organi-
cations ard participation in their af-
fairs.
1t is understood that the move
ment has the sanction of Provost
Marshal-General Crowder and will
receive suitable attention from the
authorities In Washington In the
near future.

FARM BUREAU ORGANIZED
AND OFFICERS ELECTED
Practically Every Farmer ON the
Project is Now or VIII BE En-
rolled as Members

An earnest and representative
body of the farmers of the project
assembled at the High School build
ing Monday afternoon and organized
4 Farm Bureau, under the direction
of Mr. Morrison, a member Of the u.
s. Agricultural Extension Service
The organization is the outcome of
q recent meeting held at the Rex
theatre. when 1t was proposed to or
ganize n commercial club which
would include both the farmers and
the business men in an organization
that would have for its purpose the
cooperation of all classes of bust
ness in the county
However, when II was learned
that insofar as the farmers were
concerned. the government ALREADY
had the form of organization to fit
their peculiar needs already in OPP
GRAFTON in practically every agricul-
tural county in the United States.
the movement took on a new form.
Under the direction OF Mr.. Nor
rison. aided by active committees in
the several districts. meetings were
held and the advantages of the or
ganization explained, with the result
that practically every farmer in the
valley is now a contributing member
OF the Farm Bureau.
At the meeting held last Monday
the following officers we're chosen to
handle the affairs of the organiza-
ton for the ensuing year: G. W.
Latin. president; w. D. Moody, vice
president; A. d. Drumm, secretary;
G. Z. Mills, treasurer The follow.
Ing we're selected TO represent diyis.
Ions OF the work OF the organizas
ton: Livestock. Il. r. Morgan;
markets. j. T. Thayer; crop improve
ments. c. @. swingle.
Briefly the objects of the organi-
zation are TO bring about closer
spirit of cooperation and mutual in
terest In all classes OF farming and
the solution of the problems that
daily beset the industry. In this con-
nection the government works in
close cooperation by furnishing,
free OF charge expert advice and In
struction.
The remarkable unanimity with
which the local farmers embraced
the opportunity to become part of
the movement is evidence that they
have long felt the need OF some such
community of action. and the char
acter of the men who have been
chosen to direct the destinies of the
organization is the best evidence
that its activities will be felt in an
improved condition as soon as 1t be-
comes an active force.
Meanwhile the creation OF a SINH
lar organization among the business
men of the city. who are certainly
as yitally interested in the advance
ment of the material prosperity of
the community as is the rural popu.
lation. only awaits the active inter
est of someone to start the ball roll
