WHITE BREAD BY TRAINLOAD
CONSUMED BY U. S. SOLDIERS
AMERICAN REGULATION BASE
IN FRANCE, Nov. 5. —; Bread for
tbe American soldiers is brought
here by trainloads from the great
army field bakery a few miles dis
tant, one train of 30 cars a day, all
loaded with white bread from the
best of wheat flour.
One such train was arriving as
the Associated Press correspondent
visited the base. Another trainload
of refrigerated beef arrived soon
afterward from the great refriger
ating plant at Clevre.
It was the same with other class
es of supplies, rations, forage, fuel
and oil; all came in huge bulk to
this concentrating and distributing
point, for this is one of the great
nerve centers of supplies for the
fighting men.
Here the trainloads are broken
up into 15 parts, two cars to a part,
and each part goes toward making
up a new “automatic train” carry
ing supplies of all kinds to the sol
diers, 15 trains a day, automatically
leaving for the front loaded with
food or fighting material.
Puffing yard engines were doing
the work of splitting up the trains
and reforming new ones. Gradual
ly the confused mass of cars, the
bread and meat trains melted away
and the 15 automatic trains took
definite form. As they were com
pleted they moved off to sidings to
take their turn in the steady stream
of trains moving out to the fighting
front. This is the process, repeated
day after day, in the formation of
the automatic trains, that marvel of
transportation that has so bewilder
ed and surprised the foreign observ
ers.
The last stage as the supplies
pass to the troops at the front is
where the automatic train reaches
the tail-head of the division. Each
American division has its fixed rail
head, or terminal, where the train
delivers its daily quota.

STEEANSSONS “BLOND ESKIMOS”
DESCRIBED BY ARCTIC EXPLORER
SEATTLE, Nov. 6. — “Sure they
are ‘blond Eskimos.’ They are
aborigines living up in the white
Arctic on Victoria Land in their
primeval state, absolutely untouch
ed by the outside world’s civiliza
tion. They are completely out of
contact with everything and, con
sequently, have none of our im
provements and none of our evils.”
W. J. Bower, known along the
Arctic coast as “Levi” Bower, one
of the very few men who have gone
from the outside into the far north
ern almost fabled land of the
“blond Eskimos,” thus described
them when he was here recently.
“And I don’t think it was Stef
ansson who first found them,” Bow
er asserted. Vilhjalmur Stefansson,
returned Canadian Arctic explorer,
who has been credited with discov
ering the strange tribe, agrees with
Bower that he did not find them
first. He does, however, claim that
he made the first study of the tribe
and brought back to the outside
world the first report of its exist
ence.
REVIVING RIFLE
PRACTICE HERE
GOLDFIELD RIFLE CLUB REOR
GANIZED WITH PLANS FOR
BIG INCREASE
There was a meeting Monday
night at the recorder’s office in the
court house with a view to reviv
ing the Goldfield Rifle club. The
meeting was called in response to a
request of the adjutant general and
the national council of defense and
many members of the club respond
ed.
Officers were elected as follows:
President, Judge J. Emmet Walsh;
vice president, A. H. Howe; secre
tary, Bert Ward; treasurer, W. E.
Zoebel; executive officer, Clarence
Sage.
The officers constitute the execu

AMUNDSEN AND STORKERSON
ON PERILOUS ARCTIC TRIPS
SEATTLE, Oct. 31.—Two Arctic
explorers, Roald Amundsen, noted
Norwegian, drifting in his ice-lock
ed boat eastward from the Altantic,
and Storker Storkerson, lieutenant
of Vilhjalmur Stefannson, Canadian
explorer, floating westward from
the pacific on an ice pack, are both
believed approaching the New Si
berian islands, which jut out of the
Arctic ocean off the mouth of the
l^ena river in Siberia. Authorities
credited with knowing the Arctic
currents believe the two will reacl;
the islands early next year.
No other explorers are now in the
arctic and it is thought very likely
that neither Amundsen nor Storker
son knows the other has the same
goal in mind. They probably will
not meet, for Storkerson is expect
ed to arrive ahead of Amundsen
According to Stefansson and Bow
er, a Captain Klinkerberg, master
of the whaling schooner Olga, in
1905 pushed northwest to Victoria
brand, where he found the blonde
tribe. On his return to the whal
ing base at Herschel island, an Arc
tic ocean point, he told of his find
ings. Stefansson, then at Herschel,
heard Klinkerberg’s story and im
mediately went to Victoria, where
he made a study of the natives.
Bower claimed the “blond Eski
mos’’ are really blond. Stefansson
does not go that far, but says they
have light gray, almost blue eyes
and a few have light hair and eye
brows. Bower pointed out that the
“blond” natives have round, full
eyes, while the other Eskimos of
the far north have the slant eyes of
Asiatics.
“It looks as if the ‘blond Esmi
mos’ came from early Greenlanders,
or Scandinavian stock of some
kind,” Bower said. "I know they
are not half white and half Eskimo
because the half-breed Eskimos
have black eyes and black hair.”
prescribed by the government for the
use of clubs of the National Rifle
association. Membership in the
ciub does not bind the members to
military service.
The name adopted is the Gold
field, Nevada, Rifle club and its
charter will issue from the National
Rifle association.
An initiation fee of one dollar
m as fixed, with annual dues of one
dollar, both payable in advance.
The sole object is marksmanship
and certain guns and ammunition
will be furnished by the govern
ment free. Those desiring to join
the club may file their application
with the secretary, Bert Ward.
The Home Guard will be especial
ly in\ ited to join and several mem
bers cf that organization, who were
members of the old rifle club, were
present Monday night and expressed
the view that the Guard will prob
ably join in a body.
Credit Goes to Pennsylvania.
Judge Jesse Fell of Wilkes-Barre,
Pa., although he was not the discov
erer of anthracite, is generally given
credit for its introduction as a fuel.
and probably will land far west of
Amundsen’s course.
Amundsen, the discoverer of the
south pole and navigator of the
difficult northwest passage, is on
the first lap of a journey to the
north pole. He expects to make
the last lap by airplane. Storker
son is bound back in the general di
rection of civilization after spending
several years in the Arctic. Both
are seeking new lands and studying
the currents and life of the north
ern ocean.
When Amundsen reaches the Si
berian islands, the current, it is be
lieved, will turn and carry him
north. He is expected to remain
with the drift until it lands him on
the immovable ice far upward to
ward the pole. There, according to
his plans, he will establish a base
and attempt to fly the rest of the
distance to the top of the globe.
SLAPS AT SLACKERS
By ALICE KILLIAN.
•*No, I haven’t done any knitting yet,
but I'ui going to soon. You see, I’ve
been so dreadfully busy with other pa
triotic service. One can't do everything
at once, can one? I shall begin with
knitting socks. I don’t see why peo
ple waste time on scarfs and sweaters
when socks are so much needed.
H1 shall make socks with gay colored
tops. Bright colors aid the morale, I'm
sure. It would be a terrible thing to
have our soldiers barefoot Just because
the women aren’t alive to the necessity
of knitting enough stocks. 1 think I’ll
make a little speech at our Red Cross
auxiliary on ’Swelling the Sock Supply.'
“You see, that’s one of my ways of
helping. I’m a voluntary speaker at
the Red Cross auxiliaries. I was talk
ing to a surgical dressings group yes
terday on ’Folding for France.’ I know
that I inspired the workers with new
zeal, for when I had finished talking
one of the women said to me, ‘Why
don’t you stay and help us yourself?
You have made us all feel that we need
every worker we can get.’ I had to ex
plain that other duties called.
“No, I haven’t done much in surgicnl
dressings yet. I find it makes me nerv
ous. Many people really like to fold
gauze. I think they should be unremit
ting in their work. How terrible it
would be if any of our brave boys
should suffer Just because women at
home don’t realize the need for count
less pads, sponges and compresses.
Something should be done to spur them
on to greater efforts. I think I shall
have to do more speaking, although
just now it will be hard for me to give
up any more time, because I am tak
ing golf lessons.
“I don’t know why you should look
surprised, I might almost say shocked,
at the mere mention of golf. We all
know that the health of the nation is a
large part of its wealth. I consider It
a patriotic duty to get plenty of fresh
air and exercise*
“Gardening? Well, of course, one
does get fresh air and exercise spad
ing and hoeing, but I don’t think they
have the same effect on the physique
that outdoor sports have. Do you? I
have observed that farmers und mar
ket gardeners don’t have the same
bright complexions and free carriage
that golf and tennis players acquire.
However, I believe thoroughly in pa
triotic gardens, and I shall further
them all I can by speaking. I think I
shall call my little talk ‘Seeding for
Safety.’ Don’t you like that? It will
be frightful If we don’t have food for
our allies Just because people are
asleep.
“Then there’s the preserving of vege
tables and fruits.
“No, I don’t do It myself, for I can’t
stand the heat of a stove In summer,
but last year I had my maid do a great
deal of canning. As It happened, most
of the things she put up spoiled. She
i Is not clever at following written di
rections, and I was not able to be In
the kitchen much myself. However, I
feel that we made our start and this
seuson she will profit by last year’s
experience.
“I suppose you’re buying war savings
stamps? I’m intensely interested in
their sale. It would be a fearful thing
If the men, women and children of this
[ country did not respond to the call of
the government for funds to push the
war. People should buy to the limit.
“No, I haven’t bought to the $1,000
limit myself yet, as I have a great
many expenses connected with my war
work. One is asked to give in so many
[ directions, and then, of course, going
about speaking as I do requires cor
rect clothes, and In bad weather ray
taxi fares are really quite an item.
“I do wish you would come to hear
me speuk on ‘Stamping Out Sedition’
and 'Bonds Are Bombs.’ I’m quite sure
that if you could hear either speech
you would feel that you must lend ev
ery dollar you can possibly spare to
Uncle Sara. A woman said to me the
other day that after hearing me urge
economy she quite understood why so
very few people were buying spring
suits this season. She looked right at
my new broadcloth, which is plain but
very handsome. I think she realized
that I had been patriotic In my selec
tion of a suit, for It Is true economy
to buy good material.
“Sometimes I am perfectly aghast at
the numbers of slackers there ure who
do nothing to help win the war. I
should think people would be ashamed
j not to do their part in this tremendous
struggle. Indeed, I am so much exer
cised about the apathy of nonworkers
I know, who neither knit, sew, conserve
food nor save for the nation, thut I’m
getting up a little speech called "Slaps
for Slackers.’ I do hope you will come
to hear It”
Age and Youth.
The older man who remembers a
younger whom he has once met and
greets him on the street Is an excep
tional person. And the younger man
who, on being thus remembered and
greeted, feels neither pleasure nor
gratitude, Is an exceptional person. If
the deferential respect of the young
is gratifying to the elderly, the notice
and the Interest of the elderly are
stimulating to the young, observes a
writer in Youth’s Companion. To
think of each person whom you meet
as an individual, however young he
may be, to try to discover In what
ways he is individual, and to charge
the memory with the impression of
him—those should be regarded as so
cial obligations by people who have at
tained middle age and who with it
should have acquired some degree of
wisdom and of interest In the human
kind.

PUNS TO TRAIN WOUNDED ARE
BEING MADE BY GOVERNMENT
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5. —
Plans for training and placing in
remunerative positions soldiers and
sailors maimed in the war worked
out by the United States employ
ment service and the federal board
for vocational education are ready
to be put into operation.
The employment service has in
structed its representatives through
out the country to obtain informa
tion that will be helpful in the plac
ment of partly disabled soldiers and
sailors. Surveys of labor needs
will lie made in conference with em
ployers to determine where such
men can be used efficiently.
The board for vocational educa
tion will maintain in each hospital
for the treatment of wounded a
representative who will confer with
disabled men before their discharge
from the hospital.
' If a man desires to continue in
the occupation he was engaged in
before the war and is fitted for it.

receive from this spoiled wheat,
however, must be low enough to al
low the dealer to, re-sell at a price
not exceeding the government fixed
price on No. 1 grade hard wheat.
No wheat may be graded as unfit
for human consumption without
submitting a sample to the county

work in that calling; should his in

seek a new means of livelihood, he
will be advised of the lines in which
he can enter without finding his in
