LEGION AUXILIARY
WILL Be ORGANIZED

The meeting of the American Le-
gion, held at the court house last
night, at which Woman's Auxiliary
was to have been formed, was very
poorly attended. A minimum of ten
women is required before charter
can be secured and but five were pres
ent last night.
Miss Dorothy Higgins. high school
teacher, was appointed temporary
president of the Auxiliary, and before
the next meeting night she hopes to
have several signers, there being
many women in this city who are
eligible for membership and who no
doubt will be anxious to join as soon
as the matter is discussed with them.
The American Legion, under the
leadership of Commander Norman
Bell, discussed the matter of chairs
and furnishings for the Legion room
at the court house, nothing having
been provided as yet
1t was decided to wire or write to
the American Legion representative
at Washington to try to hurry up ac-
tivities in the soldiers bonus bill and
the matter of compensation for dis
abled ex-soldiers.
Plans were made for a home talent
play to be given later on as means
of raising funds with which to help
the unemployed and to carry on the

HOW Do YOU STAND
ON SHEEHAN'S BILL

Opposition to Senator Sheehan's bill
to abolish the primary election sys-
tenn has developed in Reno and it now
appears that II his measure Is passed
those In favor of 1t must get behind
1t to Offset the activities of those not
in favor of Sheehan's improved meth
cd of nominating candidates at state
and county conventions.
Time does not permit The Silver
State to go into details of the matter,
but 1t Is sure that Senator Sheehan's
actuating motive in introducing the
bill In the elimination og $4,000 ex-
pense incurred by the state every two
years to hold the primaries There
are many arguments for the primary
system. it is true. but brief perusal
of Senator Sheehan's bill led to belief
he had overcome Objectionable fea-
lures OF the convention system.
Without particular study OF the
matter, The Silver State is in favor
of doing away with the primary sys-
tenn for one reason, and that Is be-
cause Senator Sheehan believes equal
results can be obtained without ex-
penditure of the enormous sum men
toned every two years.
Newspapers over the state can
hardly be expected to be in favor OF
abolishing the primaries. because the
two separate campaigns. and cam
paigns mean money for newspapers.
And It. is well known that when you
touch most mems pocketbooks you've
touched their hearts.
In favor of the primary 1t is said
at Is the voice of the people" But is
1t? We do not believe more than fifty
per cent of the voters cast their votes
at primaries and we know frame-ups
are just as easy with primaries as

because he has the money to conduct
the two expensive campaigns where
the poor man has not. Another thing,
under the primary system 1t Is hard
to get good men to make political
race, because good men. well thought
OF men, do not like to take a chance
of being defeated in their own party
with consequent injury to their per-
sonal feelings and reputation.
Observation leads to belief that
great deal of the opposition to Sena
tor Sheehan's bill developed in Reno
because OF political jealousy So
called leaders OF Washoe politics rec
ognize Sheehan as the strongest man
possible for the governorship race two
years hence, and fear of his entry is
bringing opposition from both parties.
Remember the other day when 1t was
reported" that Sheehan had intro
duced wet" bill? Notice also the
correction was not conspicuous.
The Silver State published Senator
Sheehan's bill to abolish the primary
System In the last issue, in as con-
spicuous a way as possible. We ad-
wise his friends to dig it up. study its
provisions, and If they believe his
policy of retrenchment is correct. get
behind him with letters and kilograms

milton for the fray. II we don't back
our representatives up or call them
of better not send them. because it's
certain they'll make no further efforts
for our welfare.

Better Start On That Scenario And Try For
 One Of The Six Prizes

Have you started on your scenario yet in the contest being conducted by The Republican?
 If you haven't, you probably are laying the foundation in your mind for the plot you expect to develop in the contest for one of the six prizes offered in The Republican contest.
 Of course you are reading the ar ticles by H. H. Van Loan, one of the most famous moving picture scenario writers in the country which are ap- bearing each morning in The Repub- Hcan and which describe all the tricks of scenario writing.
 These articles started on Wednes- day morning. They will continue until eight of them have appeared. After you have read all eight, you will have been told about all there is to learn about scenario writing. Fol- low all the directions laid down by MT. Van Loan carefully in writing your scenario and you will have as good chance of winning one of the prizes as a person who has had pre- vious experience.
 There are no strings to the contest, no conditions nor no entrance fees. mario must be typed according to the directions laid down by Mir. Van Loan and all scenarios must be in the office of The Republican by 6 o'clock D. m, on Dec. 30, at which time the contest will be closed. Send all scenarios to Scenario Editor.

LIVING "ExTINcTp ANIMAL

An extraordinary survival of the animal life of three million years ago has been reported as still flourishing in certain parts of South America. The little animal, which looks like a sharp -nosed rat, with rousSded ears, slender tail and soft brown hair, was discovered in Venezuela by Dr. Will frid H. Osgood of the Field Museum Of Natural History.
 In "A Photographic Study of the American Marsupial Caesnolests," Dr. Osgood says: "The little animal is quite unlike any other now living in the world. Although it does not resemble closely any species now liv- ing, it is very intimately related to animals which flourished far back in geologic times, when the foundations were being laid for the evolution of the higher animals of the present day.
