The New National Hymn

My country, 'tis of thee,
Land where things used to be
So cheap, we sing.
Land where folks once could buy
Things that are now so high,
To thee with many a sigh,
Our memories cling.
Some of thy children swear
That what they eat and wear
Takes all their wad.
Others avow that they
Eat only once a day
And for it cannot pay,
So help them God.
The people humbly crave
To pull from out the grave
At least one leg.
We do not ask to dine
On flesh of beef or swine,
But give us, Lord Divine,
One good fresh egg.
Our fathers land, with thee,
Blest home of liberty,
We choose to stop.
We don't exactly like
So soon to henceward hike
But we must hit the pike
If things don't drop.

biggest mine in the State, and that
the district is one of great promise.

VICTORY LOAN DAY
AMPLY CELEBRATED

AT the speechpaking in front of the
court house ruins, last Thursday
Peter Organ of Mill City was first to
subscribe for Victory Liberty bonds
He took $4,000 worth. Others fol-
lowed, making about $4,000 in sub
scriptions at that place, which it was
believed would bring Winnemucca's
sales to date into the neighborhood
of 100000. There is no way of ascer-
tanning today what the subscriptions
amount to, as solicitors have not re-
ported to headquarters yet.
A considerable number of out-of-
town people enjoyed the festivities of
Victory Loan day, and it appeared that
pretty much everybody in town at
tended the dance given by the Volun-
teer Fire Department in the evening
at the Nixon opera house.
The parade feature was a very
creditable one. 1t goes without say
ing that, however attractive the Other
sections, the whippet tank was the
piece de resistance. People enjoyed
looking at this war machine and see
ing it maneuvre. Professor J. Scott
and Sheriff Springer headed the pa
rade as marshals. A band of twelve
pieces under the leadership of E. NJ
Stowe produced really good music. II
was composed of Winnemucca and
Elko musicians.
l.. G. Campbell was chairman OF
the meeting at the court house lawn
He asked his hearers to subscribe lib

ALL IN READINESS
FOR CITY ELECTION

All arrangements for the municipal
election to be held next Tuesday, May
6, are completed and in good order,
with the exception of the appointment
of an inspector in the First ward in
place of Charles Nofsinger, who has
gone to San Francisco. 10 be absent
for some time. This appointment will
be made Monday evening. The other
two inspectors for the First and
Third wards polling place are Mrs.
Ann Card and Richard See. Mrs.
Myra Scott and Miss Mae Barnard
will act as clerks.
At the Second ward polling place
the inspectors will be Richard Lewis,
Delbert Baker and Mrs. Lila Duncan.
Mrs. Edna Bowling and Mrs. Edna
Browning will act as clerks here.
The ballots are being finished today
at the Office of The Silver State, and
will be delivered to County Clerk
Davey next Monday.
Because of some confusing talk
which is heard about town at times,
City Attorney Langwith thinks it will
be well to again state that there are
to be but two polling places in the
city. Residents of the First and Third
ward all vote at the hose house in
Bridge street. Residents of the Sec
ond ward all vote at the Nixon opera
house. Talk about East Winnemucca
and West Winnemucca precincts is
merely confusing.

THIS MAN HAD TWO
TRIES AT FIGHTING

Louis Darrong, soldier, returned to
Winnemucca last Thursday. having
recently received his honorable dis
charge at the Preside. He formerly
was employed in this vicinity by S.
Siard and the Utah Construction Com
pany.
Darrong is Belgian and was fight
ing for his country Immediately after
the war with Germany broke out. He
was in the battles of Nemur, Charlie
lie Roi. Brussels, Zeebruge, Dixmude
and Antwerp. 1t was at a place
known as the Sand Dunes" that he
fought his last battle with the Bel
gians, for the reason that he was
among 5000 Belgians captured then
by the Germans.
With the others he was sent to Ger
many, winding up at the Baden prison
camp. They were employed building
roads for the Germans. After being
held a war prisoner for two months
at Baden, Darrong and twenty-seven
other Belgians put several guards 'to
Sleep" escaped across the Rhine to
Basil, Switzerland. They were sent
to the United States and Darrong
came back to ~Winnemucca, thinking
he had no chance to again join his
countrymen.
But at the time the United States
got into the war he enlisted imme-
diately. He hoped to be sent direct to
France, but the powers that be sent
him to Siberia and he was there
until the armistice was signed. He
said this morning his main work in
Siberia was just "skirmishing" and
guarding the Trans-Siberian railroad
right of way. 1t was while there that
he was shot in the neck with rifle
bullet. In another engagement, he
was shot in the hip, and he still car
ries the bullet. Besides these wounds
he has been gassed.
Darrong has been awarded the Bel
gian war cross from bravery under
fire. The citation was for remaining
behind at Antwerp and saving 5000
horses from capture by the Germans.
He tells wonderful stories of priva-
tions endured and CHASTITY acts. but is
modest and hard to make talk, as are
most other fighters. While in the
United States army he was with Com
pany A, Thirty-first infantry, Fourth
division.

county, who had been to Elko to look
into certain matters related to the
conduct of county affairs, stopped in

The work of compiling this list had
been rushed through in the local
clerks office so that Mr.. Causten was
enabled to leave on No. 10 last night
with the coveted documents.

NEW [UXUR|ES TAX
IS NOW OPERATIVE

III there is anything that can be
. classed as luxury, and youur Uncle
Sam finds 1t out. he is going to plas-
ter IL with a tax. The latest is the
soda fountain, and commencing May
j. 1919. the consumer must pay the
government one cent for each ten
cents or fraction thereof spent at the
soda fountain. Everything sold at q
fountain is now taxed and it is going
to cost quite bit more for the cool
ing draughts this summer. The sa-
looms which have turned into soft
drink emporiums must pay also.
The local business places which
must collect this luxuries tax began
the collection last Thursday; but
here, as in other towns, there has
been some confusion as to whether to
charge tax on separate articles sold
or on gross amount of each purchase.
The latter is the correct method, ac-
cording to best information obtain
able.
By taking his girl and buying two
sodas fellow can save one cent, for
the law says that the tax is levied on
the net sum of his purchase and not
on each article, so the government is
not intending to place any handicaps
on Cupid. That's the Reno Gazette's
idea of the matter.
The following articles of food and
drink are subject to tax within the
meaning of Section $50 of the reve-
nue. act Of 1918, according to a state
ment issued by Revenue Agent Cone
hay: All beverages when compounded
or mixed at the fountain, such as
lemonade. orangeade, pineapple juice.

LABOR LEADER DENIES
CHARGE OF BOLSHEVISM
Gompers, III, Rises to Defend Union
Pfinciples-He Recalls Pledge
to Government.

Washington. Oct. 18.-Samuel Com
pers, weak from several days of ILL
ness, took the floor at the national in
dustrial conference to bitterly assall
an insinuation that the workingmen or
the United States planned an attempt
to overthrow the government.
Mr.. GOmpers was moved to what
was called the most eloquent speech
of the conference by the remarks OF
L. f. Loree, who, speaking from the
viewpoint of the employers, referred
to what he said were attempts OF boil
Shevism to gain foOthold In the Uni
ted States through labor.
He added that ''there is an element
that believes that because it was easy
to tear down the established govern
ment in Russia 1t will be easy to de-,
stroy the government of the United
States.
"That is not true" he asserted. I'm
Russia the government was centered
In one car and his ministers, but the
solidly anchored In the heart of every
true American.
When Loree, who is president of the
Delaware & Hudson railroad, said
that labor took advantage of the most
critical period Of the recent war to
force important concessions from the
war labor board, Mr.. Gompers rose to
his feet
Speaking in weak voice the feder-
alton president recalled the confer
ence of 1873 labor leaders on March II,
1917, at which labor pledged itself,
three weeks before President Wilson
asked for declaration of war. to
back the government to the limit, come
what might
"And American labor made good it's
pledge he added hoarsely.
