BETTER ROADS HELP BABIES
Farm Is Made More Accessible to
Doctor and Nurse-Danger In
Travel ls Reduced.

It may seem a long way from good
roads to better babies, and yet the
two are closely connected.
America has a great rural popula-
ton, throughout which babies are be-
ing born every day.
These babies and their mothers
need care, the visit Of the nurse, the
services Of the physician, often Of the
surgeon, and how are they to have it
if between lie miles of road impossible
alike to automobile or buggy?
Of what use Is the little hospital at
the county seat If the woman whose
life depends upon it's care cannot be
taken there swiftly and comfortably?
What difference does 1t make that
the town physician may be a very wiz
ard at treating diphtheria, If long be-
fore he can arrive at the farm the lit
tie throat has been closed by the
deadly film, or the little heart stopped
by the depressant poison?
Medical and surgical honors are
generally claimed for the city-when
as q matter Of fact the country doctor
is often possessed Of a skill as COM
plete as his heart is big.
Make the farm accessible to the doc
tor and nurse, make the hospital and
the health center accessible to the
farm. Nature and skill will do the
rest.-Concord Monitor.

When Lies Sun Goes Down

When life's sun goes down
At the close of u day,
Will Gods stars abound
To light up our way
Through the gates of eternity?
Will the night be short,
Will our dreams be sweet,
With good things fraught
From the mercy seat
To cheer when the morning we greet?
Will the sun in glory bright
Spread around us soft rays,
Refreshing memory of light :
That has hallowed our days
AS we struggled thro' earthly ways?
Will the new day bring
To us sweet JOY and peace
That will tune our hearts to sing
Gods praise for his release
From worldly cares that now cease?
Yes, we will be happy;
Gods promise remains true.
If we live as He shows the way
It means rest for me and rest for you
Throughout endless eternity.

When Spectators Go to Work.

For an inanimate, nerveless sub
stance, cotton, advisedly speaking,
appears exceptionally sensitive to
every form of influence, real or i'm
aginary. According to the market let
ter of a prominent New York bank
ing company, threatened financial
trouble of a local nature, in the city
of Chicago, caused a decline on the
cotton market of approximately 81
per bale, but when the trouble did
not materialize, the recovery vas
only 81 per bale. Other farm prod
ucts were affected likewise, but no
one noticed a decline in the price of
steel, of lumber. or other building ma
terial, or of any other manufactured
article. Occasionally world events will
affect the speculative value of stocks,
but seldom the selling price of the
article produced by the company rep
resented by these stocks.
Cotton is a fiber of many uses. 1t
represents real value. Yet, if the King
Timbuctoo should have a bad nights
rest or rain fall in the Sahara desert,
the cotton markets would respond
with a decline. in price. 1t would be
brought about by i~nsistent selling in
the future markets of New Orleans
and New York and by a lot of specu-
lators who pose as honest business
men under the name of "Cotton
Brokers'" and who have no interest
in the staple, raw or manufactured,
except as the price rises and falls.
The socalled market influences are
SO per cent artificial and the alleged
business men who disgrace the staple
by calling themselves cotton men,.
merely bet with each other as to the
course the market will take. BY so
doing, however, they influence the
welfare of thousands of producers
and create an unstable market for the
manufacturer. The man who sells fu-
lures pledges himself to deliver the
cotton thus sold on a specified date
and the man who buys promises to
receive the cotton, but the contract
is a mere form and neither intend to
fulfill its provisions. What they in
tend to do is to get together through
their representatives or that speci-
fed day and settle the bet by n of
them paying the difference between
the price at the time the bet was
made and the price on the alleged
day of delivery.
It is this speculative feature of the
markets for agricultural products
that has been instrumental in driving
the farmers into commodity organi-
cations. Should their efforts to con-
troll the distribution of their products
prove successful and thus enable
them to warehouse cotton, grain and
other nonperishable or seminonper-
ishable products so that factories and
mills the world over a be supplied
regularly and as the demand calls,
the men who make a living or grow
wealthy through the control of the
market by fictitious and artificial in
fuences, will have to seek another
form of gambling. or go to work.
When producers also become dis
tributors through cooperative agen-
cies there will be no further need for
anti-gambling legislation. Seats in
grain and cotton exchanges will be-
come a drug on the market.-Farm

M|LLARO APPOINTMENT
. CLAIMED TO Be ILLEGAL

The validity of the appointment of
Frank w. Millard as supervisor OF
building construction in connection
with the construction of additions,
alterations and repairs to the county
high school building is being looked
into by District Attorney Charles A.
Walker and tn elocal attorney has
taken the matter up with the attorney
general at Carson City, according to
n story recently published in the Ga
zette.
The question raised appears to be
as to the operation of the nepotism
law in the premises.
Frank w. Millard is the son of Ed
Millard, member of the county
board of education, under which body
the appointment of the city engineer
to supervise the work of the con-
tractor on the building was made and
the compensation arranged on the
basis of 21-2 per cent of the contract
price, which was later awarded to
Andrew Hexem for the sum of S119.-
704, which would make the super
yisor's fee $2,992.60.
Deputy Attorney General Robert
Richards, in reply to the inquiry
made by District Attorney Walker,
Is said to have advised the latter that.
in the opinion of the attorney gen.
erals office, Frank w. Millard could
not be employed on the work under
the circumstances, even though his
father had voted against the appoint
ment.
In discussing the matter the depu-
ty attorney general is quoted as say
ing, THE law should be tested, as
the opinions given by our Office ere
merely advisory. But to test the law
entails some risk, as the penalty Is
severe. A fine and Jail sentence can
be imposed, together with forfeiture
of tn office, while the auditor and
treasurer of county paying salary
warrants to persons employed in vio-
lation of the law would be liable"

EX.SHER|FF ENSLOW
AGAIN SEEKS OFFICE

w. S. Enslow yesterday filed the
formal declaration of his candidacy
for the Office of sheriff of White Pine
county on the democratic ticket.
Bill Enslow, as he is familiarly
known, needs no introduction to the
people of White Pine county, because
of the fact that during his many
years residence here he has become
not only widely but favorably known
He first took up his residence here in
the spring of 1907 and for the period
of about six years was engaged at
MeGill, where he was construction
foreman during the time the big mill
was being built. He was first pre-
vailed upon to enter public life in the
fall of 1910, when he was elected as
n member Of the legislature and serv-
ed with distinction. At the close of
tho legislative session he returned to
his regular employment at MeGill,
where he remained until 1915, when
he was appointed city marshal of the
city of Ely, which position he filled
with credit to himself and the entire
community until 1918, when he
was elected sheriff of White Pine
county.
His record as public official. and
particularly during the term which
he served in the high Office to which
he aspires, is sufficient warrant for
the statement that the affairs of the
Office may be safely entrusted to his
care. He is conscientious and fear
less and while sheriff of this county
devoted his entire time and attention
toward the vigorous prosecution of
all lawbreakers but was broad enough
at all times to avoid any petty perse-
cution OF individuals.
1t can well be said of him that he
has been tried and found true. Dur
ing his incumbency as chief peace Of
ficer of this county crime was kept
down to the minimum and neither
his sincerity nor ability was ever
called into question. When seen by
a White Pine News reporter yester-
day he said:
Having served one term in the
Office of sheriff, my record is an open
book, and IL again elected to that
high Office will endeavor to serve
the people to the best of my ability
and will earnestly try to use the eX-
perience l have acquired in such
manner as to result in general ben
eft"

tention of the chief executive of the
state and Governor Boyle selected
him to determine the perplexing
question of the large attorneys faes

While keeping the calendar in his
own court up to the minute ard rem

submits his cause to the people.

which he gained practical experience

was generally regarded as one OF the
most adroit practitioners in the west

He served one term as district at
torney of White Pine county and as
such enjoyed the reputation of not
only being religiously honest but
fearless and able. His elevation to
the bench followed and he now seeks
reelection upon his entire record.

DEPUTY SHERIFF SMITH
DEAD FROM PNEUMONIA

Edward Elmer Smith died at the
White Pine General hospital last
Thursday night about II o'clock and
the news of his death came as a pro-
nounced shock to the entire COM
munity, where he was widely known
and highly esteemed.
Mr.. Smith was a native of Joplin
Mo-, where he. was born forty-four
years ago. He had been a resident
Of East Ely for the last sixteen years,
during most of which time he was
employed in the train service of the
Nevada Northern railway. During
the last eighteen months he has been
engaged as deputy sheriff Of White
Pine county and his particular as
signment to duty was in East Ely
He was a man of robust health and
about two weeks ago, when he was
attacked with measles, he paid but
little attention to his ailment and in
his usual way told his friends he was
not feeling well but would shake it
off," He did not fully realize the
seriousness of the disease and it was
only when it had gained considerable
hold upon him that he was persuaded
to enter the hospital. His condition
thereafter improved for n time and
the seriousness of his ailment did not
become alarming until a short time
before death claimed him. BY rea-
son of inattention when the measles
first afflicted him his lungs became
seriously affected and double pneu-
monia followed, which resulted in his
untimely death.
He was married about eight years
ago TO Miss Matte d. Thompson of
Globe, Ariz.. who with four young
daughters, the issue of that marriage,
the eldest being seven years of age
and the youngest eight months, now
survive the estimable man. He is also
survived by his father. who resides
in Stcptoe valley: two brothers, John
of Los Angeles, Cal. and Clyde of
McGill. as we'll as one sister, Mrs.
Pearl Crawford of Pueblo, Col.
Ed Smith, as he was familiarly
known to a legion of friends, was one
of the highest tye of good citizens,
a devoted husband, kind and loving
father and a faithful friend.
AS a peace officer he was highly
conscientious but likewise highly
considerate. Possessed of an affable
disposition. he had that happy fac
ulty of making friends and by a strict
adherence to the golden rule he In
variably retained them. In the gem
eral line of his duties his dealings
with his fellowmen were character
ized by the virtues which are embod-
led only in true manhood, while the
children with whom he came In con-
tact regarded him as did his own and
looked upon him as a loving father.
His loss will be keenly felt in this
entire community, where all deeply
sympathize with the griefstricken
wife and her four small children in
the irredeemable loss which they
have sustained.
Funeral services will take place
this afternoon at 2 o'clock from Ma
sonic hall, in Ely, and will be under
the auspices of the Ely Masonic lodge,
of which the deceased was a cher
ished member. Interment will be In
the Ely cemetery.
