souvenirs he might take home to America, he would carry nothing more precious than this symbol of the faith of his Huguenot ancestors.
 The federated churches of America, representing about twenty million members, are calling upon the mem bership to come to the aid of the French and Belgian Protestants and help them to rebuild their destroyed churches. There was scarcely a Pro- testant church left standing in the wake of the German army and the members are worshiping God as their ancestry did in the days of persecu- tion, under the trees or amidst the ruins of their once splendid church buildings. The large majority of these French Protestants are descend ants of the Huguenots and in the. late war they showed the same heroic and unyielding spirit as their ancestors did. J. c. Williams.

PEANUTS

Within the past two weeks J. H.
 Iul, marketing specialist with the Agricultural Extension Division, has received number of inquiries from buyers and mills for peanuts in car load lots. One cotton seed oil mill at Little Rock has told Mr. Tull that it would provide the necessary mechani- cal equipment for crushing peanuts It could be sure of buying at least Q carloads. Among the inquiries are concerns in other states that manu- lacture peanut confectionery and pea 1 nut foods.
 MT. Tull advises growers of small quantlties of Spanish peanuts to list mem with the county farm demon saatlon agent so that cooperative shpments may be made in carload .0's' The county agents have been 4 1''fmed of the inquiries that have yssn received.

GENERAL PERSHING'S
 RELIGIOUS ANCESTRY

There is scarcely great man in the world today who counts for it's uplift but who has a pious and godly ances- try behind him. But few men of re- nown can say "My father was an ir- religious man and did not attend church or read his Bible" Every man owes it to his children to give them religious training and supply them with a godly home.
 The eyes of the world are on Gen. Pershing today and they will be inter- ested in his history and to know what forces and people produced such an illustrious military hero and they will find that the usual rule prevails and that like the large majority of our statesmen, soldiers and business men, he has very godly ancestry behind him. The original name was Pfoer- schins and the forefathers were Huguenots and lived in Alsace, near the Rhine. The Huguenots were in tensely pious and soon had to endure great prosecutions and thousands of them were put to death in inhuman manner but they did not falter nor retract and endured all that was put upon them and advanced the cause of Professionalism and demonstrated to the world that they had faith and principles for which they were will ing to die. Many distinguished names appear among them, as the Prince Condo, Admiral Coligney, Prince Henry of Navarro and number of others, nearly all of whom died heroic deaths an dhad their property con fiscated.
 The Pfoerschins were driven from their homes by the prosecutors, and came to America where they could enjoy religious freedom and had a part in building up the young Repub lie with religious and political free dom as the cornerstones. Last winter while Gen. Pershing was in France he visited the home of his ancestors and at Chateauroux group of members of the local Protestant church visited him and expressed their thanks for the aid he and the other Americans had rendered them. They then pre- sented him with a copy of Huguenot Bible which had been in the family of the pastor of the church for 400 years. The general responded very 'eelingly and declared that of all the

The matter of the estate of Charles
Pedroli, deceased, was up again for
short time in district court this
morning. after several postponements.
Mrs. Mary Cooney had been called
upon to give testimony regarding the
will of Pedroli. The court ruled that
there was not sufficient testimony be-
fore it to establish the existence of
any such will, and the hearing was
dropped. Louise Pedroli, at previ-
Gus hearing was, upon motion of the
attorneys for the administrator, re-
lieved from telling anything more
about the digging up of buried money
in the cellar of the Pedroli home, over
which episode considerable ado had
been made.

ONLY WOMAN KNOWN
WITH z NEWSPAPERS

A visitor to Winnemucca yesterday
was Mrs. Alice l.. Haworth, so far as
known the only woman in the world
who conducts two separate and dis
tinct newspaper establishments. OF
course the Battle Mountain Scout and
the Reese River Reveille are as well
known in Nevada as is their enter
prising boss; and the combination
commands respect wherever it, or any
part Of it, is known.
Mrs. Haworth declares the Battle
Mountain country is full of prosperity
and fair promise. Three principal
mining companies do all their busi-
ness through Battle Mountain. These
are the Copper Canyon Mining Com
pany. operating in Copper Canyon;
the Niklas Mining Company, a silver
lead property located at .Galena, thir-
teen miles distant, and the Kimberly
Consolidated, located in what is known
what is known as the Hilltop dis
trict.
The Niklas concern has a new test
plant at Galena and is shipping con-
centrates. The Copper Canyon. Mrs.
Haworth says. owns or leases all the
mining territory in its district, con-
trolling a property three miles long
by one mile wide.

editress, II must not talk so much

Charles l.. Hewitt. who drives the
north end of the stage route between
Winnemucca and McDermitt, came
in for a periodic visit yesterday. He
returns on the regular run this morn

of the agency are working industri-
ously, as is their wont. Ordinarily,

is terribly bruised, but he is reported
to be not seriously injured, and will
recover.
Young Sharp was thrown fifty feet
and his clothes literally stripped from
his body. His overalls were found
ten feet from where he was picked up.
Sharp was probably the most fortu-
nate of the boys who did not meet
death in the collision. suffering only
a lacerated leg.
Charles Russell and Milton Hub
bard were only slightly bruised. The
truck was completely demolished.
The Elko Free Press says: The en-
gineer did not see the car until he
was directly upon it. and had not
even time to set his air brakes. The
train was behind time and was run
ming at about fifty miles an hour in
an effort to reach Elko on time. as
there is a splendid stretch of track
at this point.
Stopping the train within a short
distance, he backed to the depot and
the train crew gave assistance to the
boys.

NEVADA VOCATIONAL
AGRICULTURE PLANS

Al the last meeting of the State
Board of Vocational Education, held
at Carson City, Homer Derr of Phoe-
nix, Arizona, was elected to the posi-
ton of State supervisor for agricul-
tural education in Nevada. Mr.. Derr
leaves a similar position in the State
of Arizona.
Also. it was decided to allow Pro-
fessor Millicent l.. Sears, head of the
department of home economies at the
University of Nevada, to continue her
work as itinerant teacher in that de-
partment for another year, at least.
President Clark. it is said, wished
Professor Sears to devote all her time
to university work. but at her own
request she is to be permitted to
finish work she has commenced as
travelling instructor of teachers.
The position of Mr.. Derr on the
State vocational staff, of which r. A.
Jones is director, carries with it the
responsibility not only of supervision
of all agricultural education to meet
the provisions of the Smith Hughes
act, but also the itinerant teacher
training and promotional work of
the State in this same line of work.
The itinerant work of Professor
Sears for the department of home
economics. particularly since the
demonstration given at Elko high
school couple of months ago, is
quite well understood and thoroughly
appreciated in Nevada. where she has
won the esteem of all educators; but
because of the many inquiries COM
ing to the State directors office it is
presumed the duties of the agricul-
tural supervisor will be of interest to
the public.
The following described duties are
taken from the State vocational plans
for the coming school year. Incident
ally, it may be stated the Federal gov
ernment pays one-half the salary and
travelling expenses of the State super
visor in carrying out these duties:
The State supervisor of agricultural
education is expected to visit as often
as the welfare of the work demands
all schools teaching agriculture under
the provisions of the Smitl.-Hughes
act, and to assist the teachers of ag-
riculture % in improving the in
struction: CD in planning courses of
study suited to different communities;
(3) in providing proper library and
laboratory facilities; (4) in develop
ing project work and project teach
ing; (5) in extending the enrolment: !:
and (6) to see to it that the age limit,
segregation of classes, and all other
requirements of the Smith-Hughes
act are properly carried out.
He shall visit schools in the State
that seem to have possibilities of de-
velopment along the lines of voca-
tional agriculture. 1t shall be his
duty to promote new work wherever

DETAIL Of CROSSING
ACCIDENT At DEETH

Gathering bits of information from
many different sources. The Silver
State made a surprisingly accurate
story last Thursday of the crossing
accident at Deeth wherein two ,oy ;,
lost their lives and two others were
more or less seriously injured. The
important detail which was omitted
was that two other small boys who
were on the vehicle which was struck
by the fast mail train ESCAPED unburt
From the Elko Independent this more
detailed account of the accident is
taken:
The accident happened about six
o'clock Wednesday evening. The boys,
Russell Dorsey of Elko, James Rus
sell Jr. of Deeth, Lewis Tavelle of
Deeth; George Sharp, who has been
visiting at Deeth, his home being in
San Francisco; Charles Russell, a
brother of James, and Milton Hub
bard OF Deeth, had taken the Ford
truck belonging to the Mary's River
Land & Livestock Company. and were
bound for the swimming hole on the
south side of the track. a short dis
tance from the town of Deeth.
Stories to the effect that the boys
were speeding and running in the
same direction as the train are en-
tirely unfounded. The truck could
not have been running at more than
ten miles an hour when il rolled upon
the track, and the fast mail, running
at speed estimated at fifty miles per
hour. struck it
