THE MlD-WEEK SERVICES
Local Pastor Gives Three Reasons for
Attendance.

Attendance.
One of the local pastors has given
the follc wing three reasons why Ben
nington people should attend the mid
week services held at the churches:
First Prayer and praise together
are always beneficial.and the modern
world has all too little of them.
Second One day week, and only
small part of that, Is not sufficient
to keep our spiritual life 100 per cent
efficient
Third Our present day program OF
business and social engagements
strc cngly tends TO push religion and
the church into the background, and
this evening rlgidly observed is an as
sertion Of the supreme place of spiri
tual things. Church people who OBJ
serve one night should stoutly resist
any encroachment thereon.

The passing Of Mrs Charles Batch
elder Of Peru az the axe Of S has
impressed the community. Her char
aeter as expressed in her words and
her unremitting activities leaves no
question os the place prepared" for
her which she now occupies. but a
void is felt not alone by her family
but by the people a, large.
Mrs. Batchelder WIS born in Man
chester but she lived her life in Peru.
II was here that her intelligence. her
fidelity and her winsomeness told upon
three generations. She was Chris
ton Of rare type, Bible student
and teacher. and a constant attendant
upon the services Of the church.
OF six children born to her she was
called to surrender two, one a little
child. The death Of her son Frank
Edmund, buried here three weeks
since was a severe blow but, sur
rounded by her four remaining chill
dren, sister and brother, she main
tanned an unfailig faith that He who
had borne her along hitherto would
still sustain her, little realizing how
soon she would join him in the abode
Of he blessed.
Mrs. Batchelder had for many years
kept a diary Of events which will
doubtless be available to those in
search Of data Of the early life among
these hills. She has on various occa-
sions responded to invitations 10 adj

Members of Neva Rebekah Lodge
No. 2S had a very pleasant social
meeting at the home of Mrs. Mahaffey
last Thursday evening. This was
only one of many such evenings the
Rebekahs enjoy. Hostesses of the
evening were Mesdames Backer, Frs
kline and McShea, who as usual
proved themselves royal entertain
ers. Whist was played. First prizes
were awarded to Florence Gilman and
l.. d., Hubbard. Consultations were
won by Lucy Born and Vance Nelson.
About thirty members and guests
were present. who enjoyed the nice
lunch. No prizes were awarded the
musicians and soloists. but all en-
joyed them very much. A vote OF
thanks was extended to the commit
tee which arranged the affair.

BANKER LAUGHS At

A prominent banker, whose name
may not be published, makes the fol-
lowing comment in the Financial Re-
view on the prevailing situation:
"Yes, / will admit that six months
ago | was what is known as an eco
nomic pessimist. / knew 1t was neces-
sary that a halt be called at that
time. Since then there has been con-
siderable liquidation, with most of it
visible in Wall street--in the stock
market. Mob psychology is at work
and baseless rumors have followed.
1t has gone too far. A halt will soon
be called. Pretty soon security prices
will reflect the Improvement in money
that must come.
This talk of panic is amusing. We
had the panic. Years ago when we
had a panic we climbed to the top OF
the skyscraper and jumped down with
one leap Today it is different. We
boarded the Federal Reserve elevator
and descended gradually. but perhaps
a little too rapidly. The worst is
over. A turn in security prices is
coming. There has been some buying
by big interests during the last few
weeks. Fortunes are awaiting people
with the courage to buy stocks al
present levels, and pay for them.
There is a big European demand
for American products. Europe still
needs a large volume of raw materi.

BULLET FLATTENED TO 18TH
OF AN INCH, BUT BONE OK.

A Hindu section hand named Singh
was shot some time ago by Mexican
during an argument and the Mex is
now in the county jail awaiting trial.
Yesterday the Hindu went to DR.. Lig-
gett complaining of pain in his
wrist. An x-ray of his arm did not
disclose the bullet Today the physi-
clan found it under the arm pit and
when the bullet was removed it was
found to be of .32 calibre, steel
jacketed, and although it had entered
the upper part of the Hindu's arm it
had continued to the arm pit. In
striking the bone the bullet f1attened
to the thickness of twenty-five cent
piece, the strange part being that the
bone was not shattered. The pain in
the wrist was caused by pressure on
nerve.

NEVADA WEATHER IS
NOT FOUND IN EAST

Humboldt county has had Novem-
ber this year which was, taken as
whole, just one-tenth of a degree
vations by the weather bureau began.
There were no extremes of tempera-
ture. Probably most people had con-
ceived the month to be warmer than
usual. Temperatures as low as nine
degrees below zero have been record
ed here in November The highest
temperature on record for the month
was seventy-four degrees. The nor
NAL temperature for the month is 37.5
degrees.
1t has been a cold year here, too.
although not many people noticed the
fact, particularly along last July. The
deficiency of heat, measured in total
number of degrees compared with the
normal, is 302 degrees. The average
daily deficiency since January | has
been nine-tenths of one degree.
All these facts are set forth in the
monthly meteorological summary is
sued by Ray l.. Fisher, the local
weather observer The document fur
ther shows that we have enjoyed a
precipitation of 1873 inches. which is
well above the normal of 0.74 inch.
The snowfall amounted to Ia inches
Of wetness. Total precipitation from
September / was 2.25 inches, COM
pared with a normal of 1.60 inches.
There was total of 12S hours of
sunshine in the eleventh month. Any

ROAD TO YOSEMITE
WILL Be DISCUSSED

For some time past the supervisors
of Inyo county have been desirous OF
meeting with the county commission
the purpose of having the Nevada
counties do little road work upon
the roads between -Coaldale and Ba-
salt, which would not amount to a
great deal of expense to either coun-
ty, says the Tonopah Bonanza. This
route would be considerably shorter
than by the way of Goldfield, Ida,
Deep Springs, and the Westgard toll
road pass and on. into Big Pine.
This new proposed route only
crosses one summit, known as the
Montgomery summit, while the other
road compels the crossing of four
SUBMITS, and some tough road in
places. This new proposed route
shortens the distance many miles and
makes an easy drive from Tonopah
to Yosemite park by way of Tioga,
leaving the Nevada camp in the MORN
ing and arriving at Yosemite in the
evening. This road should have been
made several years ago, and it is to be
hoped that the commissioners and
the public-spirited business men of
Nye and Mineral counties will assist
in raising funds to build about ten
miles of the road.
A wire has been received by Sam
Foreman, the mining man of Benton,
that a delegation of supervisors and
other interested citizens of Inyo coun-
ty will soon arrive in Tonopah from
Benton for the purpose of comforting
with the county commissioners and
others concerning the construction of
this new road. While in Tonopah the
visitors will also confer with some of
the officers of the Highway Commits

CIVIC CLUB FORMED
To FOSTER WELFARE

The winnemucca Civic Club will
be the name of an organization which
was all but launched yesterday after
noon at Silver State hall, when
score or more of representative
women of the city were present Be-
cause of the fact that but short notice
OF the meeting had been given, no Off
GERS we're elected. The formal or
ganization will be completed next
Tuesday afternoon, at the same meet
ing place.
The ladies in attendance were all
enthusiasm for the new project. Sew
eral who could not attend telephoned
that they would become members.
The Bridge Club, which was in ses-
sion, sent word that all members de-
sired to become affiliated with the
new movement. Put Winnemucca on
the map as a model community, was
the sentiment expressed. The ladies
decided without hesitancy that they
would give all possible moral support
to the city council, sheriff, city mar
shal and fire marshal in enforcement
Of laws of the city. county and state.
Mrs. Blanch Gilman was selected as
chairman of this meeting. Mrs. l.. G..
Campbell was secretary. Mrs. c. ID.
Ayres. Mrs. L. G. Campbell and Mrs.
A. Livingstone were named a commit
tee to draft constitution and bylaws.
Then followed informal discussion of
what the club might hope to accom-
plish. Women, il was declared, are
called upon today to do many things
they have never done before, and
women of Winnemucca should shirk
no civic tasks was the sentiment.
Constructive work was a popular
theme at the meeting. 1t seemed to
be the sense of those present that no
tearing down sentiment should be
tolerated. The ladies all expressed
keen desire to see proper laws en-
forced in Winnemucca. One matter
which received some discussion was
that of dumping grounds. 1t was
said proper place had been set aside
a long time ago. and an ordinance
provided which forbade the dumping
of refuse elsewhere. This law was

GOOD SUGGESTION FOR
A CHRISTMAS PRESENT

A letter received by The Silver
State from Mrs. Edith Lucha of Canon
City, Colorado, former resident of
Winnemucca and mother of Mrs. ]. H.
Crawford of this city. gives the pub
fishers good idea for Christmas
time. Part OF Mrs. Lucha's letter
says: Il receive my paper regularly
and after living for over year in
Winnemucca every paper is like a
visit with friend" Doesn't that give
an idea? If you know of someone
who has lived here and appreciates
Humboldt county news, what present
would be better appreciated and
longer remembered than years sub
scription to The Silver State? Leave
your friends name at this Office and
We'll notify them in suitable manner
that you are responsible for their
next years enjoyment. And they'll
think of you every time they receive

FARMER SAID NAUGHTY WORD
ON MEETING STREET MARKER

A young farmer. living near Card
nerville, drove his automobile into
town few evenings ago. says the
Record Courier, and was enjoying the
new paved highway when, on near
ing the Jensen Company's store he
was observed to be footing his horn
at an alarming pace. He reached for
his emergency brake and stopped the
car with abruptness.
We'll. I'll be -" he said
When inquiry was made for the
reason of his sudden alarm, he de-
clared that the street marker with its
red sign looked for all the world to
him like squaw with a red handker-
chief over her head; and he was not
going to hit her with his machine,
at any cost.

OPINION AFFECTING
TEACHERS SALARIES

An opinion of interest to teachers
and school trustees has been handed
down by Judge Mark Averill as the
result of hearing at Hawthorne.
Mineral county, where he heard the
case through disability of Judge
Walsh. The sum of the opinion is
that a teacher is entitled to the full
amount OF salary stipulated in the
contract so long as there is no def
mite resignation on record carried in
the minutes of the trustees meetings.
The case was that of Mrs. Nell Rich
ardson VS.. The Board of School Trus-
tees of the Hawthorne School Dis
trict. in which judgment was rem
dered for s1005 and costs in favor of
plaintiff.
The case is discussed from every
possible standpoint in the opinion
rendered by the court Plaintiff was
employed in July, 1919, under a writ
ten contract to teach the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades, at sal
airy of $40 per month. At the end
of the first month plaintiff found that
she was receiving less pay than the
teacher of the first, second, third and
fourth grades, who had been desig-
mated principal with a salary of $3.50
per month.

BI.ANNUAL REPORT OF THOSE
SUBJECT To MILITARY DUTY

Apparently Humboldt county has
gained. despite county division and
the draft of the world war, in the
number of males between eighteen
and twenty-one years age, eligible for
military duty. County Clerk Davey
is engaged today on his bi-yearlyi
task of reporting such names to the
adjutant general before the first Mon
day of December following each gen.
eral election.
This report will show that the
number of potential soldiers two
years ago was 50; this year 49 names
will be turned in.
