LEGION AUXILIARY
Of LOCAL WOMEN

More enthusiasm was shown by
women at the American Legion meet
ing last night, when there were more
than enough present to make the
number required before a charter for
a woman's auxiliary can be obtained.
All necessary steps were taken and
an application for a charter is being
cent to headquarters at Carson City
today.
Much business was discussed by
members of the Legion. The new
headquarters at the courthouse have
to be furnished and as this requires
money 1t will be necessary to raise
funds, Plans for a future entertain
ment were discussed, but it was not
decided just what or when it would
be given. The Legion has a member
ship Of fifty-five paid-up members and
finances are in good condition, but the
work which this organization is con-
stantly doing calls. for money and
more money.
Members recommended passage of
the bill introduced In the Nevada leg
islature by Senator Fitzgerald of Nye
county which requests that history
and civil government be taught in all
public schools and that ten minutes
be reserved each day for study Of
Americanism by pupils. 1t also pro-
vides that the American flag shall fly
over every school each day.
The Legion announces that next
Tuesday the national field secretary,
Robert A. La Rue. will speak at the
high school on Americanism and work
of the Legion. Mr.. La Rue is an ex-
ceptional speaker and special invita-
tions have been sent to members of
the Civic Club and Chamber of Com
merce. The public Is invited and no
admission will be charged.
Following the talk by La Rue. an
indoor baseball game will be played
by Legion members and the Winnie
mucca Athletic Association team.

SENATOR SHEEHAN
HOME FROM CARSON

Yes, 1t will have to be changed
from Senator to Grandpa now" was
the greeting OF Senator J. Sheehan,
who returned to his home here this
morning from Carson City. I've re-
turned for three purposes" he said.
"One is to greet my granddaughter,
and the other two are to attend a
meeting of First National Bank di-
rectors and attend to business gen.
orally. I will return to Carson City
and my legislative work Sunday"
Senator Sheehan said his bill to
abolish the primary election system.
which Is causing SO much discussion
over the state. was made a special
order Of business yesterday afternoon
In the State Senate. but when 1t was
reported out Of committee he man
aged to have 1t re-referred to the
judiciary committee. He expects 1t
to be brought out of that committee
In substitute form which will. he be-
lieves, eliminate opposition and at the
same time eliminate the great ex-
pense Of the present primary system.
That will be entirely satisfactory to
himself, he said. because his only
purpose In going to the Senate was
to protect his constituents interests
and reduce expense in every Inner
possible and yet retain efficiency.
"It Is really serious" said Senator
Sheehan. Taxation is getting beyond
the point where 1t Is for the best in
terests OF the state and the time has
come to call a halt" And he recited
instances Of where contracts have
been let providing expenditure Of
huge sums when state officers In
charge do not even know where the
money Is coming from.
Nevada's legislators are not down
to real business yet. according to the
Senator. the appropriations bill delay
ing matters. He expects next week
will bring forth some interesting
events.

LOCAL WOMEN BACK
SHEEHAN TO LIMIT

A special meeting of the Winnie
mucca Civic Club. composed OF women
OF this city. was held this afternoon
for the purpose of hearing Senator ].
Sheehan, who Is home from Carson
City for few days. explain the bill
to abolish primary election which he
introduced in the legislature. At the
conclusion 1t was decided to back Sem
ator Sheehan up in his efforts.
Senator Sheehan, upon request. ex-
planned the primary bill as it was
first introduced and how. since his
sole purpose In introducing 1t was to
save the state OF Nevada the sum of
$4,000 every two years. he agreed
yesterday to a substitute bill SO long
as this expense Is done away with.
He explained that this measure, as
well as others he Is working upon, is
not political In any sense, but entirely
economic. He asked the endorse
ment of the club in this undertaking
and 1t was the unanimous vote Of all
-esent to back Senator Sheehan'.
measure In every way possible.
Mayor Brandon was also requested
to express himself and he explained
how the convention system had ad-
yanced since the time when the coun-
frv cnuld ha rnp bu N volttioal looc
whose power consisted of a bottle of
whiskey and a pocket full Of proxies.
In those days II delegate did not
wish to attend convention he merely
sent his proxy to the boos to do with
as he pleased. Under the bill pro-
posed by Senator Sheehan the dele
gate would have to attend unless
physically unable. in which case he
would appoint delegate from his
own voting precinct to attend.
He also pointed out the expense un-
dergone by candidate for Office un-
der the present primary system. The
candidate must make two campaigns
and as he usually is not rich has to
borrow money. thus putting his neck
into a collar which sways his official
actions after election. Other points
for and against the primary sys,eT
sere taken up by Ma, or Diandon.
OF, er matters OF Ieyislatior OF In
terest to the club were taken up and
d'a: nssed and Senator Sieetan prom.
GOD to keep the club In touch with
various bills which will soon be pre-
selted.
1t was the expression Of the club
that absolute confidence is reposed In
Senator Sheehan's judgment and hi
was assured every support within the
power of the club.

SPORTING NOTES.

Last season Brooklyn and the yankees trained at New Orleans but the owners of the major league clubs had some sort of a disagreement with the southerners and probably will pass up New Orleans next spring. The Dodgers and the Tanks will again play each other on the SpTiis trip.
 If Commissioner Landis decides to sus- pend Babe Ruth, the Yankees will still have the big slugger with them during the spring training trip unless Landis bars Ruth from participating, which hardly seems likely. The Tanks would make little money or the trip without Babe, as he is the magnet that draws the crowds.
 Johnny Dundee and George K. O. Cha Dey will meet for the junior lightweight title at Madison Square Garden Nov. 1S. Both boxers will weigh in al l30 pounds and Promoter Tex RiclSard will present diamond belt to the winner.
 Gloucester fishermen already plan to build new schooner for the internation- al fishing boat races which will be held off Gloucester next year.
 Joe Smythe, an IS year old southpaw. who pitched for teams on the sandlots of St. Louis last season. has attracted the attention Of big league scouts and may be taken south by some team in the spring. Smythe, who is with the St. Brendan club. also plays first base and topped his team in hitting with an aver age of 429.

 Hugo Bezdek, great coach of the great Penn State football team, is reported to have earned the money that paid his way through college by boxing.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Nov. S.-For the first time since 1915 the wheat market~ today drop ped to below $1 bushei. All grain With the sole exception of May corn de- clined to the lowest level vet this sea- son, following wheat for which there ap- peared to be no adequate support. Wheat c-osed heavy, 23. to 5 4 cents net low CT, with December at 80 to 99A and May $1.04 to s1.041s. Corn lost 1@11k to "a, and cats F O $ to E cents. Tn provisions th' outcome varied from 21s cents down U a like advance.
 Word that 8 large quantity of wheat was practically unstable at Galveston and at other ports as well took the edge ott the demand here for wheat. and ac- centuated general belief that foreign de mana for United States wheat had come to standstlll. The fact that prices could break So far and so rapidly as they have done of late without encountering 2 any export buying of consequence mi bulls at great disadvantage. The only strength which the market showed +o- day was at the opening, and was ascrihe6 to reports Of diminished unemployment in the United States and to reduction of federal rediscount rates.
 The days trading, considered as a whoie, was not large but sSliing on inc part of the houses with eastern affilia- tions and by the northwest was persist ent. Final dealings were at the bottom level of the season.
 Announcement that the War Finance Corporation has worked out a plan to warehouse the present surplus of corn failed to check the. weakness of corn and oats. December corn in particular was under heavy selling pressure Smailness of stocks on hand helped to steady provisions.

DECLARED TWO BULKELEY
 PLAYERS BARRED

The controversy between Vocational school and Bulkeley football manage ments over the eligibility under the rules in use of three Bulkeiey players has been settled by decisi< of the authorities governing such disputes. By this deci- sion two of the three students are bar red from league contests and Leary, Bulkeley's center is declared eligible
 At meeting of the permanent com mittee on athletics for the Schoolmasters' Club of Connecticut held at New London the following decisions were reached:
 The cases of Joseph Linnehan and L. Farrell, Bulkeley football players. were presented to the committee on athletics of the Connecticut Headmasters' club. After hearing all the particulars of the cases Linnehan and Farrell were declared in eligible through the interpretation of rule one that these boys were not transferred regularly from a grammar school. The meaning of regularity is that a pupil must come directly from the grammar school and go on with lis class. Both of these boys were out o: school two or three years therefore did not continue with their class.
 Edward Leary was declared eligible to play with Bulkeley as the committee rules that he was transferred regularly from a school of secondary grade
 The eligibility rules committee for Connecticut HEh School athletics is as follows: James c. Moody. chairman, L. P. Knapp, John Pettibone.
