YANKEE SOLDIERS WELL FED
II Cannot BE Said That In Any way
Uncle Sam stints His Fight
Ina Men.

More than a billion pounds of meat
a year and an equal amount of pure
wheat -four are required for the Amer
lean army bill Of fare. That impos-
ing total will increase rapidly as the
United States enlarges its lighting
forces In France and the divisions In
training on this side of the Atlantic.
Uncle Sam does not stint the quality
or quantity Of food for his husky fight
ing men. There is a bountiful supply
of every essential foodstuff on a care
fully balanced menu that provides
more ~calories than the rations of any
other army In the world. Twenty
seven standard articles figure In the
list from which mess ~sergeants select
material for the daily meals. They
are beef, bacon, flour, baking powder,
beans, rice, potatoes, onions, tomatoes,
prunes, jams, apples, peaches. coffee.
tea, sugar, milk, vinegar, pickles, salt,
D D cinnamon, lard and lard sub
stitutes, butter and oleOmargarine,
strip and flavoring extracts. Ever
with this elaborate selection, and not
w%ithstanding the mounting cost Of
food, the government finds it possible
to give the boys in khaki all they car
eat for the modest sum Of Al and a
fraction cents a day. The soldiers get
many articles Of food, however, that
are not included in the standard list.
Supply ~sergeants are instructed to
vary the diet by purchasing eggs,
chickens, green vegetables and fresh
fruits. This plan Is followed in
France as well as In the United
States. Under favorable circumstances
poultry and fresh vegetables and fruit
are served in the front-line trenches.
Uncle Sam believes that Napoleon was
right when he said that San army
fights on it's belly."-Thomas f. Logan

BERGER FACES
OWN SIGNATURE
HAD URGED RIFLES IF ENOUGH
BALLOTS WERE
LACKING

CHICAGO, Jan. 8. - Victor
Berger of Milwaukee, congress
man-elect, who, with four other So
cialist leaders, were accused of
conspiracy to interfere with the
prosecution of the war, completed
his testimony today after being
on the stand for three days.
On cross-examination yesterday
Berger was confronted with an ar
ticle over his own signature adj
vising workingmen to use rifles,
if necessary, to get their rights.
The witness said he meant If a
majority of the ballot did not get
the desired results, that force
might be necessary. He admitted
that in 1916 he favored a general
strike to prevent the country from
entering the war and opposed the
war ever afer this country had en-
tered. He said he did not believe
the sinking of the Lusitania a
sufficient cause for this country
to enter the war. He declared the
American Federation of Labor al
ways sold out to capital.

MRS. SIMUNDI MARKS
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Mrs. Olga Simundi marked the
fiftieth anniversary of her we'd
ding on Saturday by a little re-
ception to her friends in her apart
at the Goldfield hotel. This
was in lieu of a golden wedding
celebration that would have cele-
brated the event if her husband,
the late Augustus Simundi, had
lived to that date. Mr.. Simundi
died in August, 1916.
Mrs. Simundi was born in
Philadelphia, but came to Califor-
mia with her parents when a little
girl. Her parents were born in
Switzerland. Mr.. Simundi's an
cestors came from Italy, but he
was born in America and came to
California with his parents when
only two years old. He was for
many years with the Wells Fargo
company and had charge of their
assay office in San Francisco and
ldtcI IlOSc at L OlI1dAu dAo III
Idaho, before he engaged in bust
ness for himself at Salt Lake. Mr..
and Mrs. Simundi came to Gold
field in the early days of the
camp.
Mrs. Simundi's apartments were
beautifully decorated and there
was a bowl ~ excellent punch for
the refreshment of the many friends
who called. The certificate at
testing to the marriage of Angus
tus Simundi and Olga G. o. Grob,
at Portland, Ore, Jan. A., 1868,
formed a part of the decorations.
The event was not, in the absence
of the bridegroom, in the nature
of a celebration, but more the
marking Of the anniversary of a
very happy date in the life of the
bride and in memory of the many
happy years that followed.

CAUGHT SPIRIT OF OCCASION
coIored Porter Meant That Eagle
Should Shine In Celebration. Of
American Victory.

It happened after the news that the
allied forces were chasing the army
of the crown prince. There was great
rejoicing on the steps Of the custom
house building. Everybody was shak-
ing the hand Of everybody else. The
man who had never before been known
to lose his dignity was pulling the hair
Of the office boy and whooping it up
generally.
All Of which was at first rather in
comprehensive to the colored porter
of the building. He didn't know just
what it was all about, but it looked
good to him, nevertheless. Finally, he
seemed to "get" it. With the agility
of a cat he climbed one Of the ped
estals at the front Of the building.
On the top is a bronze globe, with a
spread eagle ove 1t. Hanging pre-
cariously on the ledge, the negro pull
ed a grimy cloth out Of n pocket
and a can of paste out Of another.
Then with a vim and vigor that had
never before characterized any Of his
actions he began polishing away at the
eagles head. While he polished he
talked:
"Oh, lady, lady, we're goin' a make
you shine! Oh, lady, that shineM take
the eyes out dem Germans! Oh, lady,
that head O. your'n is goin' a be some
bright"
And the other ceiebrants stopped to
cheer him.-New York Times.

Bravery and Buttons.

"When 1 vas in the ranks" Johns
second lieutenant tells him John Ed
ward Martin is the recruit hero of
'sThe Single Star" by Capt. F. D.
Grierson), our crowd was inspected
by a famous general. When he'd look
ed at every badge and button he said:
Lads, remember that the biggest
dandy makes the best soldier! What
he meant was that the man who takes
a pride in himself and keeps himself
smart whether he's on parade or
square-pushing round the town-that
mans going to be the fellow you can
rely on when bother happens. Clean
ing buttons may seem all d non
sense to a man who's come out to
fight for his country, but it's not. It's
just one of the little things that help
to make up the big things-and the
big things1l come along fast enough,
don't you worry"

PIONEER NEVADA
EDUCATOR DEAD
At CARSON
CAREER OF JOHN EDWARDS
BRAY Is CLOSED BY
DEATH

John Edwards Bray, state su-
pe~rintendent of public instruction
and a pioneer educator of the
state, died at his home in Carson
on the night of Jan. 1, according
to a report received here late yes
terday, ending a life that had been
devoted to the schools Of Nevada.
Death was from heart trouble and
came Unexpectedly to the thou
sands of his friends throughout
the state.
Mr.. Bray came to Nevada in
1876 after graduating from Cor
nell university and taught in the
schools of Virginia City for a
short time. Later he went to
Dayton, where he remained for five
years part of the time as superin-
tendent of the schools of Lyon
county. In 1884 he returned to
high-school there, but remained
only one year, leaving to become
superintendent of schools at Win
nemucca. From Winnemucca he
again returned to the Comstock
and on this occasion was head of
the schools for five years, during
which time he first gained promi-
nence as an educator.
From 1894 until 1907 Mr.. Bray
was head of the schools of Reno,
resigning to accept a position as
deputy state superintendent of
public instruction under Orvis
Ring, who died late in 1910. Mr..
Bray was then appointed state SUI
perintendent and held the position
until his death.
Mr.. Bray was born in Danville,
VT, and was sc years of age. He
is survived by his widow and two
daughters, Miss Florence Bray
and Miss Mildred Bray, both grad
yates of the university of Nevada
and now teaching in this state.'

CHAPTER TO HOLD
MEM BERSH HIP
CAMPAIGN

An effort is being made by the
Goldfield chapter of the Red Cross
to secure the renewal of all mem
berships, many of which are now
expiring, and also to secure mem
bership renewals regardless OF the
date of expiration. A 100 per
cent membership of the adult pop
ulation of the country Is de-
sired, and w. s. Phillips, chair
man of the Christmas roll call, has
urged everyone to secure from Sec
rotary Bert Ward in the office OF
the Charles S. Sprague company,
one of the 1919 membership but
tons, which are red, white n
blue and differ greatly from the
buttons heretofore issued.
The roll call drive has been ex-
tended to Jan. 10.
When the drive started through
out the country no effort was
made by the Goldfield chapter to
increase the membership or secure
renewals, owing principally to the
Influenza quarantine in force at
that time. Large numbers OF re-
newals have been secured without
any effort being made by the chap
ter officers and it is felt that no
great effort will be necessary to
maintain the high membership
standard during the coming year.
The national organization is
also anxious to secure the renew
al of subscriptions to the Red
Cross Magazine and Chairman
Phillips has received the follow
ing telegram from San Francisco
regarding this:
"a special appeal has just been
received from Washington head
quarters to increase subscriptions
to the Red Cross Magazine for
1919. We would appreciate your
using your BEST %endeavors to COM
ply with their request and report
as many subscriptions as possible
by Jan. 10, giving complete report
at that time. r. b. HALE.

DRAFT BOARD OF
STATE THANKED
BY GOVERNOR
NEVADA EXEMPTION BOARD
WAS IN SESSION 11S
DAYS

The great amount of work &C
complished by the Nevada district
draft board is shown in a memoir
andum compiled by Robert F
Cole, secretary for the board, and
sent to the other board members,
Judge s. s. Downer of Reno, chair
man; j. K. Turner of Goldfield, j.
H. Cazier Of Wells and DR.. Huffa-
ker of Carson.
From Aug. 6, 1917, to Dec. Is,
1918, the board was in session lis
days, SO days in 1917 and 80 dur
ing last year. A total of 5SOS
cases, or an average of 40 per
day, were handled during this
period at 16 different meetings at
which the members, appointed by
the president, served without COM
pensation.
The following letter from Gov
ernor Emmett D.. Boyle was receiv-
ed a short time ago by all board
members, including ] X. Turner
of Goldfield, who represented the
mining interests of the state at
the sessions: "The provost mar
shal-general has already conveyed
his thanks and congratulations to
the local and district boards in
49, - I41s~A IN odd a
word of appreciation on behalf OF
the people and the government of
your W state, directed to each
of you personally.
eff anything might rival the
glory of American arms, it would
be the glory of it's creation, selec-
ton and dispatch to the scene of
strife. No organizer of empire
came out of Washington to seize
men for the army; but the patriot
ic people assessed themselves so
many men through congressional
enactment and in each community
they set about to produce a suf-
ficient number, selected from all
liable to duty. The local boards
and the district boards did this
work and by their devotion they
have inseparably connected them
selves with the glorious result
achieved.
''It falls upon me as a pleasant
duty, therefore, to say to you that
the services you have rendered as
a member of the district board of
the state of Nevada, and for which
you have neither asked nor taken
compensation, has placed all of us
under an inestimable debt to you
which I, on behalf of the people,
as well as personally, will always
take pleasure in acknowledging
and recording"
The governor closes his letter
with the hope that in time some
recognition proportional to the
service rendered will be accorded
the board members.
