DISCHARGED SOLDIERS MUST
SHOW THEIR CREDENTIALS

Unless discharged soldiers or sail
ors can show their discharge papers
and prove to the satisfaction of the
Red Cross and American Legion. that
they are entitled to assistance, they
will not be given any aid in Reno
and the officers here will be asked
to arrest them. if they are caught
begging.
This action on the part of the Red
Cross was brought about after the
organization had been defrauded sew
eral times by deserters or persons
wearing a uniform, who had not been
in the army at all. Some ex-soldiers
who sought aid, also defrauded the or
ganization and instead of using money
given them to buy tickets to places
where they could secure employment
they spent the money and did not
try to get work.
T. l.. Withers, who represents the
Red Cross and the American Legion,
has secured the cooperation of the
police in rounding up persons who are
posing as soldiers and all who seek
assistance and cannot show their
credentials will be ordered to leave.
Men in uniform who try to capital
ize the uniform as book agents or
solicitors for anything will also be
asked to show their discharge papers
and an effort will be made to stop
this practice, as when men deserving
of aid ask for it. it will be granted
to them.-[Reno Gazette.

FINE EXHIBITION OF DANCING
DREW SMALL CROWD AT NIXON

Nam selle Nadine Rene appeared
last night at the Nixon opera house
in dancing exhibition. Her num-
bers were performed on the dance
floor and were we'll accompanied by
spotlight. The dancer, although far
from being a premiere, as that word
was interpreted in the days when the
ballet was more important thing
than it is at present, was graceful,
pretty, and well-trained. Her exhibi-
ton was pleasing. Her wardrobe was
all that could reasonably be asked
Mile Nadine, it appears, does her
own advertising. and that was the
weak point in the engagement, result
ing in small attendance, which per-
haps was discouraging to the artist
Those who attended appeared pleased
with everything. After her last ex-
hibition dance, Mile. Rene and her
business agent. another young lady,
joined the local dancers in remaining
numbers. They left this afternoon
on train No S, their destination being
announced as San Francisco.

TO FEATURE PARADE
IN BIG CELEBRATION

The firemen made further plans for
the Labor Day Celebration during
their last regular meeting. They arc
said to all be working industriously
on various committees and details for
the events are rapidly being worked
out. The parade committee, of which
F. c. Krenkle is chairman, seems par
ticularly anxious to make the parades
successful. Krenkel said this morn
ing:
"The two parades that We contem-
plate are among the attractions that
you cannot afford to miss. The deco
rated automobile parade will be one
of the best that has ever been at
tempted here, if the public will CO.
operate with the firemen, and the par
ticipants should rest assured that they
will be repaid for any expense they
incur to decorate. if they are success
the prizes will all be liberal.
THE doll parade is new feature
here and requires the cooperation of
mothers to make it success. We
know that they will all do that, for
they will be repaid in the joy it will
give their children to take part in any
celebration. Besides the prizes won.
either first or second will more than
repay them for all the trouble and
expense they are put to.
THE members. of the parade COM
mittte. besides myself, are c. J. Trav-
ers and G. S. Asbury. We will be glad
to give fdrther detail anyone might
desire"

SPARKS EDITOR THINKS
THERE is ANOTHER REASON

In connection with the convoy, the
Lincoln Highway Forum says
1t is clear that the trip is in the
nature of a stunt" to drect atten-
ton to the Motor Transport Corps
and secure for that beneficient branch
of the service the needed recruits to
fill the places of the drafted men
who are being rapidly released.
Motor transport schools, at which
the right calibre of men can learn
trades for which there is a great de-
mand. are getting into swing. The
transcontinental convoy should ar
ouse interest which will net to the
service the cream of the men the M
T. c. wants.

nature mentioned, why divert the
convoy away from the section of Ne
vada most numerously populated
and deprive $4,000 or 10000 people
of the pleasure of viewing the outfit

FIRST men TAKEN
FOR CRIMINAL TALK

Eight Goldfeld men were arrested
last evening by p. NJ. Newgard of the
state police force, and live Will be
charged later today or tomorrow
with violating the criminal syndical-
ism act passed by the last legislature.
The other three were released last
night, it being considered that they
were innocent bystanders."
The five men held were G. H.
(Alex) Johnson, o. b. Johnson, his
brother; H. A. Shaffner, Joe Honzik
and HENRY o. Tiff All are miners
with exception of Shaffner. who is a
carpenter. Tiff is said to have ar
rived here from Reno only few days
ago. The Johnson brothers have been
widely known in Goldfield since the
early days of the town.
The Nevada act defines criminal
syndicalism as "the doctrine which
advocates or teaches crime, sabotage,
violence or unlawful methods of ter
rorism as means of accomplishing
Industrial or political reform" The
law says: "The advocacy or teach
ing of such doctrines, whether by
word of mouth or writing, is a felony
The penalty provided is ten years in
Jail, or a fine of $4,000, or both.
Interested in the arrests with Off
Ger Newgard were two other mem
bers of the state police, who have
been here for some time looking over
the field. After the arrests were made
these two officers searched the resi-
dence of the Johnson brothers, it is
said, for l. w. W. membership cards.
They were not found, but it is re-
ported that the officers took with them
clippings from radical publications
found in the house.
The officers regard the Johnson
brothers as the leaders in the al
legged criminal talk.-[Goldfield Trib

ANOTHER ROAD TO
CALIFORNIA BOOSTED
Business Mems Association,
Winnemucca, Nevada.

Winnemucca, Nevada
Gentlemen: Modoc county has just
voted bond issue for 100000 for
good road purposes One of the pro-
posed roads is from Alturas to the
Nevada line, east of Cedarville, con-
Meeting up at Alturas with the. Red
ding-Alturas state highway on which
work is now commenced. Also con-
Meeting up east of Cedarville with the
road leading to Winnemucca. The
state highway engineer of California
spent last night in Alturas, and as
sured us that the Redding -Alturas
lateral would be rushed to completion
at as early date as possible.
The supervisors of Modoc county
have today signed an agreement with
the U. S. forest service for 100000
on a fifty-fifty basis, making $4,000
to be used in the construction of the
road from Alturas to Cedarville, and
surveys will commence at once. The
icou a oAh oSudi 'liit W tut 4Ncfdud
line will be taken care of from the
county bond issue. making the early
construction of the road from Redding
70 the Nevada state line at an early
date an assured proposition. This
eomes the nearest being an all year
road from Winnemucca to the Sacra-
mento Valley, crossing the mountains
at a much lower altitude and in a
region of much lighter snowfall than
does the road by way of Reno and
Truckee. During the winter just
passed, autos travelled this road in its
present unimproved condition. practi-
cally all winter.
We expect in the near future to
have hard surfaced road from Red
ding. at which point it will connect
with the trunk line of the California
state highway, to the Nevada line, and
we are very anxious that the people
of Nevada meet us at that point with
suitable highway.
We consider this road of vital inn
portance to both Winnemucca and
Modoc county, and we earnestly ask
your cooperation.
Yours very truly,
Modoc Development Board.

NO LOCUSTS IN NEv.
GRASSH0PPERS ONLY

Nevada will not feel the blight OF
the seventeen-year-old locust, accord
ing to Dean Knight of the university
agricultural college. Travellers have
reported hearing and seeing these lit
tie destroyers in the fields, but Dean
Knight pronounces them the common
grasshoppers and crickets and does
not think that Nevada will see any
real locusts.
THE locust only come where there
is grain and corn for them to eat and
they would starve to death CROSSING
Nevada. There may be few of them
appear, but they will not come in
organized bands if they do appear.
They never came in former years
while the grain growing states were
afflicted with them SO I don't expect
theywill this time. From reports We
have received, they have not proven
very destructive so far this year in the
East"
The Indians in Mason Valley. ac-
cording to reports from there, claim
to remember locust plague when the
locusts appeared in the valley in
swarms and covered the ground The
Indians say that they thought they
were form of shrimps and that they
were considered a great delicacy.
They were gathered from the ground
in quantities and stewed, making what
the Indians considered a very nutri-
tious and palatable dish.-[Reno

TORTURED FEET

Don't cut your corns. The trimming
of corns can only give temporary re-
lief at best. The cutting is apt to
cause serious complications, such as
blood poisoning, etc. The thing to do
is to rid yourself entirely of corns by
using Corn Collode. You cannot use
this preparation long without losing
all of your corns. Warm weather is
trying on your feet. but you can get
great relief by using our special foot
powder. which will stop sweating OF
