CH|CKENPOX EPIDEMIC
IN MANY HOMES IN ELY

Warning signs have been placed
on several residences in Ely as a no.
tifcation that the occupants are suf-
fering from chickenpox.
About a dozen cases have been dis
covered and the children afflicted
are required to remain at home In
order to prevent unnecessary spread
of the disease.
No quarantine has been establish
ed, as the disease is not considered
dangerous. but every precaution is
being taken to control 1t.
II Is rumored that number of
cases of pinkeye also exist, but none
has been reported to the health au-
thorities. from which it is believed
that the disease has in no instance
reached the contagious stage.
A meeting was held in the court
house Monday with the county COM
missioners sitting as county board
of health and was attended by Coun-
ty Physician w. w. Cook. Mrs. ID. C.
Mcdonald, II. Fl. Hoffman and Rufus
Settlers, school trustees, and Miss
Nettie Z. Johnson. public health
nurse in charge of the child welfare
center in Ely. The situation was
thoroughly gone over and the county
physician has since taken the neces-
sary steps 10 check the spread of the
disease, IL II actually exists.
At Preston and Lund about 10 per
cent OF the school children are
obliged to remain at home owing to
an epidemic of the itch which has
recently developed in the White river
section County Physician Cook Wis
tied the two towns last Tuesday and
conferred with the school trustees
as well as the teachers in charge. In
all cases where the disease has APP
peared the children will be obliged
to remain out of school until they
have fully recovered.

TURKEYS A.PlENTY IN
MARKETS OF DISTRICT

There was an abundance of turkeys
OF an excellent variety in the Ely
market this year. The choice birds
found many admirers and when al
dressed up for Thanksgiving were
shown due and proper attention
throughout the entire district.
The raffies conducted for the ben
eft of the Red Cross met with pop.
ular favor and the two shoots staged
by the White Pine Rod and Gun Club
proved popular events.
All turkeys were not dispoaed oi
at the rattle held by the Red Cross
Saturday night, but the second event
which took place Tuesday night
drew large attendance and th
choice birds were rapidly disposed of
At the gun club grounds in Easi

large attendance. Automobiles were
parked all around the grounds and
The different targets We're kept busy
from the time the shoot opened in
the morning until the game was
called on account of darkness. The
weather was ideal and the throng ol
1ctators enjoyed the clean sport as
much as the participants.
The weather Thursday was not sc
favorable but the traps always at.
tract the marhsmen and when the
turkeys were offered for prizes the
contests were naturally more spir.
tied than at the regular weekly
shoots.
Some slight criticism was heard
following the first turkey shoot, but
this soon proved To be coming only
from a few. The caues of the com.
plaint seemed to be directed to tho
price charged. but when ali is taken
into account the complaint was found

MAT BASsETT, PIONEER
DEAD IN CALIFORNIA

Mat Bassett, one of the well known
old-timers and resident of White
Pine county for nearly half CEN
tury, died at his home in Fruityale,
Cal. about week ago.
News of his death was conveyed
by Mrs. Cal Clayson, a former resi-
dent of Spring valley. who now makes
her home in Montello, to the Ely
Record.
Mr.. Bassctt first came to White
Pine county in the early '70s and
thereafter followed mining and
ranching. both in Nevada and Utah.
He made his home for several years
on the Bassett ranch, in Spring val
ley. A few years ago, after disposing
of some mining interests near Aurum
which he had held for number of
years. he returned to the scenes of
his childhood days in California.
Mr.. Bassett received his early ed
ucation in California and as a young
man was an art critic connected with
the press of that state. While the
excitement attached to mining camps
was more to his liking, and he was
typical of the men around whom the
history of boom days is written, dur
ing the later years of his life in this
county his carly training asserted
itself and he frequently contributed
interesting articles for the local
press.
He was of a kindly disposition and
one who loved his friends to such an
extent that he would aid one in need
even TO the point of distressing him
self. He was likewise pronounced
in his dislikes when ready to do bat
tie at the twinkling of an eye with
anyone who displayed a trait that
he did not consider manly.
He has a myriad of friends in this
section of the country who will be
deeply grieyed to learn of his death.

EMANCIPATION
FOR MERE MN

Brothers Under the Skin is the
name which a new organization
would adopt and application for a
charter has been made to the su-
preme court of New York for a char
ter.
The object of the association is to
secure greater freedom for married
men. How times do changel Only

feminist mevefsent was greater
freedom for women"
Why not organize? Labcring men,
railroad executives, women's clubs,
dancing masters. rat catchers--eyery
root and branch of modern society
is today organized. 1t is not at all
surprising that the lowest worm in
the scale. the husband, should at
least seek the strength of unity.
According to the articles of the
new association the brothers have a
neat little idea of freedom.
Hubby is to do nc dishwashing,
busting, marketing, cooking or nurs-
ing of the kitchen. "Delicatessen
dinners are to be banished for life.
Mother-in-law Is TO visit only upon
written permit. signed by the hus-
band, and never on Saturdays, Sun
days or holidays, and hubby is to GO
out at night when he pleases and
come home at the hour designated
by his own sweet will None of his
faults are to be made the subject OF
family discussion.
In short. the home is to be mascu-
line. Hubby is to be a cayeman, a
czar. a despot. kaiser. He Is to be
the sole arbiter of his wife's skirt

of the hair.
