Legion Completes
Celebration Plans
All Ready, Let's Go, Report ALI
Armistice Day Committees;
Officers Nominated

Final arrangements for one OF
the biggest Armistice day celebra-
tions ever held In the state were
made at the American Legion meet
ing held In the chamber of COM
merce rooms Monday night.
All committees reported that
their work was progressing we'll.
The celebration of the world &
Thanksgiving day will begin with a
parade at one-thirty o'clock The
parade will start at the court house
and proceed down main street to the
high school athletic field. At the
field, Mayor Clark will present the
address of the occasion.
All civil war and Spanish war
veterans are requested to appear in
the parade and arrangements have
been made for space for them in the
procession.
Following the talk by Clark the
Stewart Indians will meet a local
aggregation of has-been football
players. The Stewart Indians are
reputed to be a fast team while the
Fallonites will have many men in
the lineup that were at one time
able to make them all sit up and
take notice. Captain AL Reed of the
Fallon team is the man who made
possible the defeat of the California
freshmen three years ago in the
only victory against California that
Nevada has scored for several years.
Reed reports that his men are fast
rounding into shape and will show
the Indians some real football
when the gun is fired for the first
kick Off
In the evening the Legion will en-
tertain the county at a dance to be
given in the Naples. Everything pos
sible to make the dance a record
breaker has been done Special
music has been obtained for the oc-
easion and the Legionaires are de-
voting large part of their time
this week towards decorating the
hall.

Armistice Day plans nominations

officers will be elected next month

ing men we're named: AL Reed and

Eallon to Reno
Road Possible
Passage of Phipps-Dow Law
Makes Highway Possibility
Says @. 8. Knight

concrete highway from Fallon
to Reno Is one of the possibilities of
the future under the Phipps- Dowell
bill that passed the Senate last week
and is now awaiting the signature of
the President, according to Charles
s. Knight. managing director of the
Reno chamber OF commerce. There
is good possibility of the road be-
ing built, said Knight, and In case
II is 1t will be the best possible in
vestment for the people of Churchill
county.
A road from Wadsworth to Reno
Ia practically certainty as it comes
under the primary system of con-
struction. The Wadsworth- Reno
highway Is on both the Overland
Trail and the Lincoln Highway and
there Is little doubt, In the opinion
OF Knight, but what the road will be
one OF the first to be built with the
government aid.
The Phipps-Dowell bill, 1t is said,
is the first legislation of any real i'm
portance that has been passed In
congress In the last two years. II
was rushed through both houses
with the purpose of doing away, to
large extent, with the unemploy-
ment in the United States. II is ex-
pected that work will be commenced
Immediately on the construction of
some of the highways.
Between eight and nine hundred
miles of highway will probably be
built in Nevada.
The primary system of construc-
tion Is defined In the bill as the
highways having interstate import
anee while the secondary highways
are OF inter-county Importance.
Federal participation In the con-
struction of roads in all states con-
tanning unappropriated public lands
exceeding five per cent of the total
area of the state will be fifty per
cent of the cost of construction plus
one-half of the percentage which
the area of unappropriated public
lands In that state bears to the to-
tai area of the state. Under that
provision the percentage of federal
aid In Nevada will be ss.3, which is
the largest percentage of aid to be
given to any other state.
The fate OF the Reno-Fallon road
will be decided largely by the re-
port and work of an executive COM
mittee of county commissioners of
the three counties affected. The
committee is composed of J. c. Dur
ham of Washoe county, s. J. Rogers
of Churchill county and w. II. Aus
tin of Lyon county.

The institute at Lovelock opened
Monday with an enrolment of ap-
proximately one hundred Most OF

stitute.
The morning program opened
with the invocation by Rev. II. St
c. Carter of Loyelock. Mr.. W. II.
Goodin of Loyelock delivered the
address of welcome. He spoke al
some length on the efforts put forth
to make the institute success and
called to the attention of the teach
ers some of the responsibilities that
were before them. The response
was given by J. ID. Scott of Winnie
mucca.
The principal addresses of the
morning and afternoon were deliv-
cred by DR.. Howard briggs of Col
lumbia Teachers College, New
York. The morning address was on
the Heart of the Wild West" His
lecture made vivid the great suffer
ing of the early pioneers who settled
in the Great Basin. He said that
Nevada, which Is a part of the Great
Basin, is the real frontier of the
West. The geography of the coun-
try has made II such. He told many
interesting stories concerning the
early pioneers and their relations
with the Indian tribes. The teach
ers, he said, should know these
stories il they are to instill into the
pupils the real spirit of the West
His afternoon lecture was on the
subject OF building up live yocabu-
larry. For the purpose of illustrat-
ing the essentials of building a live
vocabulary. he demonstrated his
points by using one of the classes OF
the LoTelock Elementary school. He
showed how a class recitation can
be made interesting by appealing to
the experiences of the child. His
demonstration was an exercise In
spelling. composition. and oral ex-
preston. II was filled with vitality

through appealing to the living ex-
periences of the youth.
Miss Mary Concannon delivered
an address on the Junior Red
Cross" She told how many schools
in the United States are becoming
more friendly and more closely re-
lated to the pupils of the European
schools through constant corre-
spondence with each other She
said:l This is one way in which the
children of the world are holding
hands" She alluded to many other
good works which the Junior Red
Cross Is doing.
Mr.. William l.. Nolan spoke on
the Palmer Method. He made clear
the advantages of writing good
hand. Teachers should know the
steps of the Palmer Method that pu-
pills may gain a type of handwriting
that will be helpful TO them in a
commercial way.

Peterson, a malicious and unscrup-
ulous" veterinarian. 81 accompan-
led the purchasers only as an ad-
wiser as to the dairy qualities Of the
cattle. l am not authorized to give
tuberculin tests and / am not an ex-
pert at the work. I took the judg-
ment of the veterinarian who was
licensed by the state of California,
and whom none of the parties con-
cerned knew previously" he added.
Twenty per cent Of the cattle In
the herd from which the purchase
was made reacted to the tuberculin
test, Cline stated When asked as
to the advisability of taking cows
from a herd with such large num-
her of reactors in 1t he said that
never before had they had such an
experience and that previous expert
ence indicated that It was safe to
take the chance.
The reason that the purchase was
made in California. according to
Cline, was that superior stock can
be obtained from the unusually
large and fine herds in that place
A shipment that was recently made
to Elko dealers from California re-
acted to one hundred per cent. he
said later.
The right of DR.. Peterson, the
veterinarian, to examine cattle for
shipment into Nevada will be re-
voked, Cline said was the state
ment of DR.. Records.
Efforts are being made by Cline
to have the California dealer stand
part of the loss. 1t Is estimated
by Cline that the loss to the Church
Ill buyers will be about sos or
$110 per head.
The present crisis is said to be
the first to develop to any large ex-
tent within the state Heretofore
the cattle of Nevada have been alb
solutely clean. The tests showed
that only eight-tenths of one per
cent of the cattle in the county re-
acted to the tuberculin tests. Under
the stringent laws of the state all
cattle that show signs of tubercu-
losis must be disposed of within 80
days after Developments AS q re-
suit the herds of Nevada are as free
as possible from the di-ease.

Death Writes $50"
For Carson Editor
Harry p. Clifford, Publisher of Car
son City News Dies In
Reno Hospital

go" has been written for Harry
?. Clifford, one of the publishers of
the Carson City News the past four
and one-half years, and connected
with the paper with the exception of
six months continuously since 1t was
established, June 21, 1891. The
first issue of this paper was deliver
ed to the Carson subscribers by Har-
ry Clifford, carrier boy, that Sunday
morning more than thirty years ago.
During the long period in which he
filed all positions In the mechanical
department and eventually became
one of the publishing firm Mr.. Gif-
ford was an active, positive factor
In the life of the city. AS soon as
old enough he became identified
with various fraternal and social or
ganizations. He took a deep interest
in all movements looking to prog
ress and improvement and benefit Of
the city, county and state. Spend
ing practically all his life In Carson,
his acquaintance was as wide as any
resident of the city. Almost without
exception he was familiarly and af-
fectionately addressed as Harry
by all who knew him and who held
him in highest esteem. And the lik-
ing of the friends of years was made
manifest yesterday afternoon and
last evening in striking degree as
men, women and children 'phoned to
and called at the News Office to make
inquiries about the condition of the
friend they knew had submitted to
very serious operation, and when
they were told that he had passed
away at $3.50 o'clock in the after
noon, genuine and heartfelt sorrow
was expressed by citizens of all
walks and by officials. From every
quarter came condolences to be ex-
tended to the bereaved family. BY
their sadness and regret at his pass
ing Carson City people paid the
highest of tributes to their departed
fellow-citizen and friend.
With Mr.. Clifford when the end
came was the Rev. F. C. Murgotten.
his spiritual adviser. Mrs. Clifford
and her sister. Mrs. Damon Carr,
were also at the hospital at the. time
of Mr.. Gifford's death.
He was a member of the Eagles,
Woodmen of the World, Neighbors
of Woodcraft, Rebekahs and Odd
Fellows, also of the Encampment,
an allied Odd Fellows organization.
He passed through the chairs of
Capitol Lodge No. 4, l. o. o. F., held
the highest offices within the gift of
the Grand Lodge of the order In the
Nevada jurisdiction, and on one oc-
casion represented the Nevada Odd
Fellows in the Sovereign Grand
Lodge. For many years he has been
member of Warren Engine Com
pany and of late years was a men,
ber Of the Sagebrush Club.
Mr., Clifford at one time represent
ed Ormsby county In the assembly.
He has long been high In republican
councils of the state, and for many
months has received from all parts
OF the state encouragement as a can
didate for the republican nomination
for the Office of state printer at the
next primary election.
Surviving relatives who mourn
one most dear are the widow, Mrs.
Clifford; son. Leonard; daughters,
Claire and True; brother, Fred w.

Legion Leader Must
Face Civil Charges
"Pernicious Political Activity
Accusation Against
L. l.. Withers

humOTS lnaI Charges coming
within the rules of the federal civil
service have been preferred against
T, l.. Withcrs, ranking officer IN Ne
vada in vocational training work
were confirmed today by George
Springmeyer, prominent in the Re-
publican councils of the state, who
is understood to have instituted the
charges following adoption by the
American Legion. of which Withers
is state commander, of the memoir
able resolutions on the soldiers bon
us bill at the legion convention at
Lakeside, says the Reno Gazette.
Withers, it is understood has been
directly accused of "pernicious po-
litical activity in connection with
the controversy which developed in
the Legion ranks of Nevada follow
the action of congress in tabling the
bonus measure. These charges, ac-
cording to Mr.. Springmeyer, are
supported by affidavits of former SER
vice men, all of which are in the
hands of civil service executives in
w dSuluE lun.
Mr.. Withers, who is in Kansas
City in attendance upon the Ameri-
can Legion convention, could not be
reached today for a statement. What
action. II any, has been taken by the
authorities In Washington has not
been made known here.
1t is alleged that Withers' part in
the bonus controversy wherein GER
tain administration representatives
we're condemned for their position
with regard to the disposition of the
soldier bonus bill, was so conspicu-
Gus as to come within the civil SER
vice rules.
The resolutions were adopted at
the state convention last summer af-
ter a small minority had protested
vigorously against them. 1t was an
acrimonious controversy with the
minority charging certain legion of
flcials with taking advantage of the
opportunity to play politics.
The position held by Withers is
one of the most desirable federal
civil service posts in the state. 1t
carries a salary of $3.50 a month
and is understood also to provide a
limited amount for Office rent and
clerk hire.
