COURSES IN
NEVADA FOR COMING
SCHOOL YEAR

For the coming school year the
State Board for Vocational Education
intends to furnish financial aid to not
less than six agricultural schools in as
many different leading agricultural
districts of the state. OF the, seventeen
high schools now carrying on home
economics work, it is to be hoped a
large number will qualify to meet the
requirments of the Smith Hughes act.
Far the coming school year gen
eral machine shop course" is being or
ganized in Humboldt county high
school at Winnemucca. This course is
intended to train boys for work
in the railroad shops and various
machine shops and garages in the
community. There will be an initial
equipment of not less than $4,000.
At the Pershing County high school
at Lovelock, vocational course in
automobile and gas engine repairs"
is being organized with an equipment
of not less than $4,000. This course
is intended to train boys for employ
ment on the farm or in the automobile
repair shops of that city.
In the Clark county high school at
Las Vegas, vocational course in"rail
way carpentry" is being planned with
a view to training the boys for en-
ployment in the local railway shops,
which constitute the leading industry
of that community. The greater num-
Der of boys leaving this high school
seek employment in the railway shops
so it is hoped to be a splendid step
in giving the boys some intensive
training before such time as they
feel that they must leave school
for the employments mentioned.
Carpentry has been selected for the
coming year because OF the high
school being already. equipped with
woodworking equipment.
In the cities of Reno and Sparks a
part-time trade extension course is
being planned for two groups of boys
from the respective high schools OF
these two cities who will alternately
work for two weeks at time i'll the
railway shops as apprentices. While
the Reno group is being employed at
the shops, the Sparks group will be
taking special instruction in supple
mentary courses very closely ccordin
ated to the industry. = Nevada Edu-

TO PREACH PUBLIC HEALTH

To preach the gospel of public
health - this is the idea of cam
paign which the American Red Cross
Department of Nursing will conduct
during the coming summer through
the medium of the Chautauqua Cir
cults. Thirty or more Red Cross
nurses who recently have returned
from duty in the European theaters
of war will be assigned to the princi-
pal circuits throughout the country.
The influenza epidemic, which has
involved the loss of $4,000 lives in
the United States alone, has empha-
sized the necessity for greater flu
ture interest in all public health
nursing
The need for greater interest in
this matter has also been brought
ont by the fact that 100000 men
were rejected in the army draft on
account of physical dissua lihcation
Seventy-five per cent of the disqual
ifcation thus brought to light was
caused by preventable diseases.
The abnormally high death rate a
mong babies is also matter for
consideration in connection with the
general public health question
Because the Chautauqua itineraries
offered unusual opportunities to
reach communities in need OF public
health work towns and rural dis
tricts with an. average population OF
from 5000 to $4,000 - the Depart
ment of Nursing hit upon them as
a splendid means of conducting
health campaign.
In addition to urging communities
to employ public health nurse, the
Red Cross nurses on the Chautauqua
Circuits will endeavor to interest
women and girls to take the Red
Cross courses of instruction in
Home Hygiene and care of the sick,
and Home Dietetics.

OUTLOOK FAVORABLE FOR
WOOL GROWERS

Prospects are bright for wool
growers of the west, according to a
report of the department of agri-
culture. Wool in hands of dealers
March 81, 1919, shows quite a de
crease since December 81, 1918.
Dealers held les sof principle
grades than on December 81, 1918.
Among manufacturers, an increase
in stocks held is shown, indicating
they are taking on large percent
age of wool sold at government
auctions, which points conclusively,
it is said. to their optimistic view
future conditions.
There is every incentive for eech
farm to own its flock of sheep, es-
pecially where the grower can get
the advantage of grading ware
houses as operated today.

WILL USE LAUNCH ON
WALKER LAKE ROAD
WORK

When the State Highway depart
n1ent begins the construction of the
scenic road which will skirt the west
ern shore of Walker Lake work will
be prosecuted with the aid of a gas
oine launch. One already has been
ordered and will be placed in opera
ton as soon as the construction work
is started.
The highway along Walker Lake
will be cut for good part of the dis
lance out of solid rock, the form
alton being granite 1t will be i'm
possible to maintain camps along the
lake shore, as it rises perpendicularly
for a considerable distance from the
lake surface to the line of survey.
The fact that the lake is extremely
rough most of the time will make it
impossible to use an ordinary row
boat For these reasons it has been
found necessary to use launch.
The launch will be a twenty-five
footer" and will be used to transport
men and material from place to place
as needed in the construction OF the
road
Highway Engineer Cottrell says
the Walker Lake road will be one of
the most picturesque in the West
when it is completed 1t will lead
along the lake, which is very beau

never at any time getting in very close
proximity to the water but affords a
wonderful view at all times. AT one
place in the road ii will be necessary

which the engineer calls the grand
canyon" Of the route. The granite
fault through which the road will be
cut is the largest in the United

DON'T TAKE CHANCES

Too much cannot be said about
the danger OF fire as the dry season
approaches. Last year Western tor
ests suffered million OF dollars loss
from fire ravages Hundreds OF
thousands of acres of grain fields
were destroyed not to mention the
many millions of dollars worth of
residences and business property.
One of the principle dangers to
field and forest used to be the care
less throwing of cigarettes or cigar
stubs from train windows into the
dry grass. There is now greater
danger from the thousands of auto
mobiles passing along the highway
from which person flips cigarette
or cigar. And camp fires left by per
sons not familiar with outdoor life,
Be careful, put out the fires, see
no waste is left around your prem
ises, cut the dry grass next to the
buildings, clean up the oily rags a
round your garage and DON'T YOU
TAKE CHANCES.

BITTER BATTLE FOR THE
 RIGHTS OF THE CATTLEMEN

PHOENIX. Ariz., July IA F.. O. Brien Mann, of CochiSe county Ari- zona has just lost one of the bitterest legislative battles ever waged in the state. At ,the final moment of his de feat he almost forfeited his life as well.
 The land leasing bill passed by the last legislature permitting the leas-
 ing of land from the state without limit and raising the lease term from five to twenty years was the object of Mann's antagoniSm. He said the enacting of such a law meant wiping out of small cattlcmen, and single handed. without funds. he launched his lobby against the measure when t was called up in the state legislature.
 The little farmer from COchise' fairly well along in years, slightly stopped. but keen-eyed and alert sue ceeded in raising such a storm of op'

the United States. an unknown pioneer girl 1 years of age, and through her own efforts eventually became the president of the National Woman'S Suffrage Association. In her girlhood she lived with her parents immigrant family in Michigan wilderness forty miles from a poStoffice and 100 miles from a railroad, starting her career aS school teacher who walked eight miles day and received S4 week.
 From her Michigan home Br. Shaw went to live with one of her married sisters in northern town. After studying at Albion college from 1872 to 1875. she was graduated from the Boston School of Theology in 1878 paving her way through school an college by preaching and lccturine. She suffered extreme poverty during this period living in an attic in Boston. On account of her sex she was refused ordination by the New England cor ference and by the general confcren:" of the Methodist Episcopal church. but in the same year had the honor of be- ing the first woman ordained by tha Methodist Protestant church. In h2y struggles to become a minister Sh' fought against lidiculc. disScnSion an lack of the barest necessities.
 After seven years service a. preacher to a small flock at East Deh niS, Mass. Dr. Shaw resigned frorl the pulpit to take up the fight fo, temperance, for suffrage and for sc cial purity.
 Dr. Shaw first became a lecture for the Massachusetts Woman'S Su'' frage Association, and from 1886 to 1892 was national superintendent ot franchises.
 On the resignation Dr. Shaw'S mos intimate friend, Miss Susan B. An thony in 1900, the presidency of tn" National Woman'S Suffrage ASSocia- ton rested between Dr. Shaw ana Mrs. Carrie E. Chapman whom Mis- Anthony finally chose aS the more eX' perienced while Dr. Shaw was madC vice prcSident-at-large. However 1T 1904 Mrs. Chapman was compelled tc resign on account of i'll health and Dr Shaw succeeded her as president O. the national association from 1904 tC 1915.
 Her administration was marked hy unprecedented progress. The numbc' of suffrage workers increased from l7.OOO to 100000; one campaign in ten years was replaced by ten in one year the expenditures of the association in creased from Sl5OOO to $5O000 annu- ally: the number of states with full suffrage grew from four to twelve while the whole suffrage movement changed from an academic stage to a vital political force arousing the at tention of the entire nation.
 The year 1912 was the banner yea for IT. Shaw and the cause. when Ari' 2ona, Kansas and Oregon received full suffrage. During this year Dr. Shaw spoke in the principal cities in each of these states, making four or fivH speeches day and travelling in any sort of a conveyance from freight ca to automobiles.
 Dr. Shaw was born at Newcastle-on Tyne. England, February IA 1S47. She was never married.

nosition to the bill that it barely cS' capcd defeat; but finally it passed.
 Then it went to Governor Campbell for signature or veto. Mann mar shaled his forces and the governors office was dcluged with telegram3' urging him to kill the measure but a flood of messages of equal size poured in from the bills friends, The gover- nor sent the bill to the secretary O. state without executive action. The peopIc took this to mean that it would become law, automatically until tho attorney general stepped in with 'N opinion that, since the measure car ricd an emergency clause it was no; law at that time without the gove'' nor's. signature.
 This problem went to the court fo' decision, where il still hangs but Mann began 10 prepare for the ever tuality of judgement supporting th' bill. His only remaining weapon was a referendum petition. He had no- body to help him circulate the petition sand hc was without funds.
 The Cochisc farmer looked about for job and found'one' washing dish. cs and waiting on table on a PhocnlX restaurant and in his spare hours night and day. he circulated his peti- ton praying that the land leasing bill be submitted to the people.
 Saturday midnight marked the close of the period in which rcferen' dunn petitions could be filed and 11:3O P. M., found Ed. O'Brien Masn oh his way to the secretary of states office at the capitol with his petition and it's thousands of signatures under his arm.
 AS he stepped off a curb at down town corner a high-powcrcd automo bile struck him. When he regained consciousness, he says there was no- body in sight and the automobile had gone, deS bite the fact that it is fcl- ony in Arizona to hit. a pedestrian with an auto and leave him in the road.
 Worst of all his referendum pet. ton with its signatures was scattered all over the pavement for half block. Both Manns feet were injured anl his shoulder badly bruised, but ho pulled himself together gathered up as much of his petition as he could find and made for the nearest taXica5 stand. He crawled into the machine told the driver to make top speed to the capispl, and added the injunction that, if his passenger fainted' the bundle under his arm was to be rushed into the secretary of states office.
 A few moments before midnight the foS of the land leasing bill staggerel into the capitol filed his petition and then went to a doctor under who's care he has been ever since.
 The Cochisc farmers disappoint- ment came next morning when he woS informed that his petition was short 4SO nGmcS of being sufficient.
 Mann says he recognized the four men in the automobile that struck him but refuses to make known thcil names.
 What's the use" he remarked phil oSophically, as he nursed his two crushed feet and bruised shoulder I'm beaten and anyway it would be my word against four"
