MEASURES TO
STOP INFLUENZA

Friday the City Board of Health Of
Yerington passed an order prohibiting
public gatherings, congregating Of
people for any other purpose than
business and closing theatres, shcoole,
churches, and lodges for an indefinite
time.
This action, which was taken to
prevent the spread of the influenza,
which now claims over 80 patients in
the city limits, meets with the appro-
val of the County Board Of Health
The purpose of the order is to pre-
vent the spread of this epidemic, but
will surely fail if the heartiest CO.
operation of the people themselves can
not be secured The doctors, City
Board of Health and the County
Board OF Health are working to
gether on this matter, but even they
cannot secure the fullest measure OF
success unless the people are with
them.
AS you can readily see the accom-
plishment of this, as well as the dura-
ton of the quarenutine, rests with us.
The Chief can order your child off
the streets, but he cannot keep hin
home. He may disperse crowds O.
people but he cannot keep others from
forming. 1t is 'up to us We alone
can and must. The Local Board il
trying to ward off a serious EPIDEMIC
and has asked our cooperation. Let
us not only make their efforts COM
plete success but at the same time
guard our own welfare.
The County Board of Health. at
their meeting, February s.. 1920, ap-
pointed their County Physician and
the Commissioner of this district tc
deal with the epidemic shoull it visit
this valley during the recess of that
Board. This committee now stands
ready to equip the Red Cross rooms
provide two trained nurses and under
the supervision of Miss Al H.
son. care for all patients a, actual
cost, who cannot afford the services OF
nurse at home This building will
accommodate about IS patients.
If your neighbors are all down with
the influenza, don't visit them in order
to inquire after their health but if you
can be Of any assistance and can
run their errands don't fail to offer
your services.

WILL REGULATE THE
WIDTH OF WAGON TIRES

A county ordinance is being pro-
posed in Churchill county that will
regulate the width of tires on wagons
operating on the roads within that
county, it being the aim to prohibit
the drawing of heavy loads over the
county's roads on vehicles having less
than prescribed width OF tires
This move is bieng projected under
the direct advice of the state high
way authorities, who assert that the
best hard-surfaced roads constructed
under their auspicies will not with
stand the methods characterizing haul.
ing in the counties OF the state.

BIG LAND OWNERS
MEET IN CARSON

The call for a meeting OF members
of the American Legion and the land
holders OF Nevada, which was issued
through Colonel Scrugham, brought
large delegation to Carson Saturday.
Aside from the Legion representa-
tives, some of the largest land holders
in the State were before the hearing.
At the opening of he session Col,
ecrugham stated that the purpose
was to line UP the lands i'll this state
that could be available for such set
tlement. He explained that while
government aid had so far failed that
it would be proposed eventually to
make this state affair, if no aid came
from the government.
w. c. Pitt. of Pershing County,
and w. G. Noteware stated lands
in that county would be available
under satisfactory conditions. j. b.
Gallagher, of Yerington, said that he
would offer land for settlement and
hoped that state and federal aid would
make it possible for him to make the
transfer.
During the discussion l.. w. Gre
hore and Charles Norcross addressed
the meeting and showed what Califor-
mia has accomplished without Federal
- Thn% tot +
ed eleven million dollars for settle
ment purposes. While no such sum is
asked for in Nevada he insists that
both State and Federal aid be avail
able before inviting men into undevel-
oped ground.
During the discussion l., w. Loder,
of Fallon, insisted that there is yet
plenty of available land in the Fallon
district with more storage capacity. 1t
was brought out in his discussion
that 1000 cars of hay were shipped
from Fallon this winter and that l20-
000tons of alfalfa were cut last sea-
son. He says that anything under SO
acres in this district will furnish more
than living for soldier or settler.
Joe Wilson, of Lyon County, and
Frank Stickney, both heavy land hold
ers, declared that under the irrigation
district formed in that county there
was acreage to supply many of the
soldiers, but there must be money to
carry them through
], II Clemons, representing landed
interests, assured the members of the
meeting, that land could be found, but
like the others said that the state or
governmental aid must be available
During the afternoon resolution
was drafted which will be fordwarded
to Washington, urging immediate
funds for the purpose OF land settle
ment This will go forward III the
name OF the American Legion, and
over twenty posts will be represented
in this petition to Congress.

is THE QUARANTINE
JUSTIFIED:

Business is suffering to rather
uncomfortable degree as the result oi
the restrictions imposed in an effort
to combat the influenza.
Both the necessity for the continu-
ance of,and effectiveness OF the quar-
antne has been adversely criticized by
competent authorities but authorities
differ, as authorities have a habit of
doing.
The consensus OF opinion seems to
be that the restrictions could be re-
moved without danger.

Morality the Object.

The end of all political struggle IS
to establish morality as the basis OF
all legislation. "Tis not. free institu-
tions tits not democracy that Is the
end--no, but only the means. Morality
is the object of government. We want
state of things in which crime will
not pay; state of things which al
lows every man the largest liberty
compatible with the liberty OF every
other man.-Emerson.
