The New Order of Things

The people of Tonopah are rapidly adapting themselves to the new
conditions that we're brought about through the State entering thu dry
column. While many leaned to the belief that the whole state would go to
the bow-wows. the truth is fast dawning upon them that things ar not So

that the stability of the citizenship is much more dependable than when

With all due respect to the men who were forced to retire from the

W[LLLOYED man
WAS JOHN {. BRAY

At the family home in Carson City.
John Edwards Bray, pioneer educator
of Nevada, passed away shortly before
s o'clock Wednesday evening. All the
immediate members of his family
were present when the end came. He
had not been in the most robust health
for a number of months, but it was
not until a couple of weeks g that
he was confined to his home. In fact,
early the last evening his condition
was not regarded as alarming. His
wife had been giving him a light bath
and he vas sitting on the edge of the
bed when he was seized with trem-
bling. and before a physician could
arrive he had passed into neon
seriousness and death, says the Appeal.

John Edwards Bray was born in
st. Johnsbury, Vermont, October 8,
1852; therefore he had just passed
his sixty-sixth year. He had been a
resident of Nevada for nearly forty
years, the first twenty-five of which
were spent as teacher and principal
of schools at Dayton, Gold Hill, Vir-
ginia City and Reno. He vas deputy
State superintendent of schools I'M
der the late Orvis Ring, and on the
death of the latter, in 1910. he was
appointed to fill the ~unexpired term
of his superior. He was elected to
the position in the November election
following, and reelected in 1914. He
was again a candidate in 1918, but
was defeated by w. j. Hunting.
Professor Bray was q man of SPLEEN
did qualities, and as an educator he
ranked with the best. He was both
aggressive and progressive. and the
high rank which the schools of Ne
yada have attained under his dlrec-
ton and supervision may be aecred-
tied to those qualities. He had re-
Gently introduced vocational extern
sion work in the schools of the State,
and it was his most ardent wish that
the success of this movement would
be the monument to his life work.
Surviving the professor are the
widow; two daughters, Florence and
Mildred, and two brothers living in
the East.
Funeral services will be held at the
late home of deceased Sunday after
noon, Rev. j.. L. Collins officiating.
The remains will be taken to Reno
on the evening train and be buried
in the cemetery of that city the fol-
lowing day.

building the schemes up around the
satisfactory furnishings we already
have, 1t is Of vital Importance that the
relation of one room to another be
considered. Avoid harsh contrasts
between rooms just as much as be-
tween parts Of one room. Let one
scheme lead up to another like the
notes Of musical harmony. Don't lose
heart If the first year doesn't bring
complete satisfaction throughout the
entire house. Little by little the I'M
desirable pieces Of furniture and IN.
harmonious hangings will disappear,
and behold a wonderful change has
been wrought.
We present here perspective view
and floor plan Of an eight-room house
Of very neat, graceful lines, which
lends itself very well to careful inte-
rior planning and repays with interest
the taste and study one will give to
this matter. It is an economical struc-
ture, % feet in width by SO feet along
the depth Of the lot. not including
front porch. The exterior presents
the popular combination Of beveled
siding from grade up, to second story
window stills, with cement plaster work
above up to the caves.
Interior 10 Cory.
The interior Of this house Is coy
and comfortable. A broad porch ex-
tends clear across the front. Entrance
from the porch is direct into the re-
ception hall. To the right, through a
broad doorway Is the large living room
with its open fireplace and built-in
bookcase. ..a
The dining room is directly back
Of the hall; it has square bay win
dow with four outward opening case
ment windows. The kitchen is at the
rear corner Of the plan, and is sepa-
rated from the dining room by large
pantry. There is a back stairway from
the kitchen in addition to the main
stairway in the front hall.
Upstairs are four very nice bed
rooms with ample clothes closets.
Every bedroom has cross ventilation,
with windows on two sides. The ex-
ira generous supply Of windows
throughout this house, both upstairs
and down, stamps it as right up to
date.
This house design is one Of the most
attractive and popular. It is absolute
ly free of ornamentation and elements
that complicate the construction Of a
house, and so is about as economical
as any structure Of this size could
well be.

Dear Mrs. Trego:
The last lap. In three days I'll be
a casual no more, but U. S., citi-
zen. With tears in my eyes l could
tell you many sad and melancholy
tale of the woes of the casual; one
hears them told around the barracks
every day in every casual dumping
camp. They are lost sheep, at the
mercy Of any non-com or officer,
charged with their affairs for few
days or weeks. Whether it be days
or weeks is matter of luck. Their
protests are as nothing; nobody
knows them; nobody cares. They
simply knock around from one camp
to another, and with luck they fin
ally reach a discharge camp. 1t is
there l now find myself. Three days
of red tape and it'll all be over. That
is If luck holds. am with western
bunch of men and so the life is more
tOlerable, at most pleasure after
living at Genicart. Everyone no
tices the difference. There are
number of Idaho and Utah men in
the company. Last night l had a
talk with Lee Ivie and Sgt. Donald
son from Mackay. There Is fellow
from Soda Springs two hunks from
me in the barracks. Twas talking
with a man from HALEY this morn
ing. 1t seems good to be with west
ern men. They are full of plans for
work in the wonderful country we
now more fully appreciate.

UNIFORM INSPECTION FORM
FEDERAL DAIRY SCORE CARD

Fourteen years of experience with
dairy-farm score cards enabled
specialists Of the United States de-
partment OF agriculture to announce
Developments which have an import
ant bearing on the nations milk sup
ply. More uniform and efficient in
spection, accompanied with better
sanitary conditions, are the principal
results in localities where the Of
fical score card has been used. In
addition there has been among dairy
men a marked tendency toward
friendly rivalry for higher ratings.
1t is believed that the score card is
likewise Of direct value to dairymen
thru the confidence which consumers
have in systematically inspected
milk supply.
In the early development of dairy:
farm inspection, milk -control officials
visited the diaries, made comments
and took notes for future reference,
but there was no system of COMPARE
son between diaries and no specific
basis from which producers of milk
could measure their own progress to-

dairy-farm score card of the bureau
of animal industry is used in inspec-
lions carried on by 240 cities, twenty
five state departments and fifty edu-
cational institutions.
An additional factor in obtaining
uniformity in dairy inspection is the
frequent interchange of experience
between the United States depart
ment of agriculture and local Of
ficials. The department furnishes q
monthly letter on timely topics, in
GLIDING outlines Of federal policies,
to health officers Of the county. This
information Is especially helpful in
proper distribution of
effort between dairy-farm inspection
and laboratory methods Of control.

No undertaking ever met with sue
cess without having a definite plan.
Whether in business, in. society or In
the home, a plan must first be con-
ceived and executed with care before
complete satisfaction is obtained. This
truth is realized more frequently In
business affairs than in those Of the
household, but it is nevertheless fact
in every case. It applies particularly
to such an undertaking as the decorat-
ing of ones home. How many Of us
ever have carefully prepared plan Of
decoration7
In nine cases out Of ten the home
builder finds himself in the midst Of
his decorative details before he
realizes it, and without a plan at that,
and, furthermore, SO confused regard

can be answered, therefore, by two

How many builders realize what can

question can be answered by the same
two words. The fact is, that all those

careful buying might have accom-
plished. These questions apply to the

eide upon such furnishings as will be
permanent, taking one room after an
other. Consider the relation Of furni-
ture to woodwork. If mahogany fur
niture has the preference, choose 1t
also for the woodwork, or select white
enamel, which is equally satisfactory.
If, however, the furniture is oak, then
let the woodwork be also oak, and
stain it to match. Perhaps some OBJ
jectionable pieces must be used. Don't
let this interfere with the plan.

Writes Letter Full of
Good Suggestions
BUILD 1T SQUARE

While R. T. Drollinger is spending
few months down in Atascadero
CAL, he is reading The Republican
and thinking of things that will b.
helpful to Blackfoot, his home town
Here are some good, broad-mindei
suggestions he offers on the matter
of locating the federal building:
Atascadero, CAL,
Feb. "a, 1919.
Mr.. Byrd Trego, Editor Republican
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
I am glad for one thing that
had you forward The Republican to
me while away; that shall have the
opportunity of protesting against the
location Of the federal building on
the street next to the railroad. What
Is the mattr with you people any
way? The moment leave town you
proceed to do something awful.
had no idea you would commence
so soon, and l have just been gone
week and you start something right
on. Gee, but you are bad bunch.
l want you to get the location of the
federal building on the street next
to the railroad of your mind at once,
and forget it.
Who ever heard of such a thing.
Why don't you stick 1t down by the
water tank or next to the round
house, where every time the engine
moves you can hear the noise?
wish some of you people had a rail-
road in your back yard.
A railroad is one thing and a fed
eral building is another. Will you
never get the moss off your backs?
Railroad and federal buildings are
good things for all towns, but they
are separate and distinct institutions
and have no business to be in close
proximity. The next thing l hear
of will be that you have moved the
post office in the depot, so that the
people can go to the post office and
train at the same time. Some of
the people in Blackfoot 1 understand
could not bear to have the depot out
OF sight, SO prevailed on our people
to put the depot in its present loca-
ton, when 1t should have been two
or three blocks farther away, which
would have been much more of
credit to the city. l suppose some

Details Should Harmonize.
So work out a plan and then plan
out the work-know just what kind
Of furniture, hangings, rugs, etc., are
to be used in every room before the
architect specifies the kind Of wood
for the woodwork, the color of brick
for fireplace, or, in fact, any Of the
details which bear directly or indi-
rectly upon the final decorative effect.
Know just how these various surfaces
are to be treated, how many coats Of
stain or varnish are to be used on
woodwork and floors-the exact color
for walls and woodwork before your
painting contract is signed.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-03-04

be based entirely on the style Of arch
