FIFTH VICTORY 'jElsie Culvenvell
LIBERTY LOAN: Is Laidto Rest
1'y Mr. Helen T. Hclfi.nl, Wonr.'iTu
Nevada Liberty lAtnn tlialnnnn.
Can you Nevada women ever for
get the early day ot the war? How
many evenings you caught the sound
of martial music and hurried to
Join the crowd that followed "our
boys" as they marched to the station,
their first milestone on the Jour.iey
"over there."
Don't you recall how you wiped
your eyes, or choked a bit and said to
the one standing next: "There goes
the flower of our town?'"
Then you went back home, and
when a woman you had known al
ways asked you to work for the
Second 'Liberty loan, you said of
Mrs. Helen T. Bel ford.
course you would if your country
wanted you; and you did, and your
country went over the top the first
day.
And then don't you recall putting
a big cloak over your house dress
and hurrying downto read the bulle
tin boards during the dark, dark
days In March when the Hun was
advancing in a bloody line on PariB?
Then the Third Liberty loan
and the men's committee compli
mented the women on their work,
and again, despite the croakers
who said, "Our country won't stand
for the drain," your country did
stand for it and went over the top.
Then the speeding up stories
.that came from Washington. How
bur own United States was doing far
more than she promised. . Ho.w
many "more' "men "we liad in June
than we had contracted to have.
' Then the turning of the tide in
July and our pride in the American
boys as they rolled back the Hun.
Your women's committee began
the work for the fourth loan with
high hopes and beating hearts and
the country literally poured out its
wealth until the government coffers
overflowed.
Don't you remember waking up
from a sound sleep and hearing a
crash and a din of whistles as of
bedlam let loose'?
And you knew the armistice was
signed and the greatest war in all
history was practically over.
You couldn't grasp the fact at first,
so long had you thought in terms of
war, and then it began to dawn upon
you that your boy could come home
because it was over, over mere.
And now, all you women of Ne
vada who have so nobly done your
part are going to be asked by your
government to do this last big thing
and help put over the Victory Liber
ty loan.
Do you remember closing your
eyes In silent prayer when, the Min
ute Men told you that this war could
not end before 1920 at the earliest?
And now the whole world knows
why Germany asked for an armis
tice. She could not hold out and
eho knew It against the American
men and guns, airplanes and sup
plies going over to the shores of
France In a steady stream.
It costs money to speed up as our
government did last March, but how
many thousand American lives it
saved no one can. say.
Does any woman want anything
further than this to nerve her to a
supreme effort for the Voctory Liber
ty loan?

wife of Sheriff William CulvM-well. '
in Los Angeles last Monday, March
17, came as a shock to the wha
community, although she had been
111 for several months and her recov
ery was doubtful. She had had vul
vular leakage ot the heart for years
and when she contracted influenza
about four months ago was unable
to combat it owing to the weakened
condition of her heart. Mr. Culver
well took his wife to Los Angeles
some time ago in the hope that ihej
lower altitude would benefit her, but
while she rallied at times she was
unable to regain the strength neces
sary to overcome the disease. She
expired on her twenty-seventh birth
day. Mrs. Culverwell was the Daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. James Price and was
born in Eureka, Utah, March 17,
1892, coming to Ploche with her
parents In 1896 when but 4 years
old. She spent her girlhood in Pl
oche and was married to William
Culverwell December 29, 1809, the
family moving to Caliente about two
years ago.
The deceased was educated In the
public schools of Pioche and leaves
many friends throughout the county
who are deeply grieved at her un
timely departure. Her passing is
rendered the more sad from the fact
that she leaves a little 4-year-old
daughter, Louise, who will miss the
love of a devoted mother. Besides
her husbund and daughter she is
survived by her father, James Price
of Pioche; two sisters, Mrs. Dan J.
Ronnow of Pariaca and Mrs, Mary
Ann Stephenson of Caliente, and
three brothers, Edwin, James and
John- Price.
Mrs. Culverwell was baptized in
the Mormon church and was a mem
ber of the local Rebekah lodge.
Funeral services were held yester
day in the Sunday School building
in Pioche, interment being made in
the Odd Fellows and Masons' ceme
tery. The Rebekah lodge took the
remains in charge upon arrival on
the train from Los Angeles and con
ducted the obsequies at the grave,
Arthur V. Lee of Panaca delivering
the address at the hall. Several ap
propriate selections were rendered
by the choir and Mrs. D. R. Hartman
sans an impressive solo. The floral
decorat ions were elaborate, the cas
ket being covered with flowers and
set pieces.
During the progress of the funeral
all activities in Pioche were prac
tically suspended that all might at
tend the services, thus attesting the
high "esteem in which the deceased
was held. The hall was packedto
Btfitotfatldn laftftt tmuiber were
unable to gain admittance. A large
proportion of the audience had
known the deceased as a child and
had watched her grow to woman
hood, making the occasion a sad one.

A better chance he could not find '
carry away such plunder;
So do not worry, ye Prince Con lads-
He made no horrid blunder,
But never took the shovel, boy.
To hear you storm and thunder.
Now leave aside the wretched thots
About this thieving tuff.
He Is a ferocious sort, we Know,

TOO BAD.
The bachelors were giving a party,
wnn a supper covering tne artair;
The old and young and middle-sized
And "Bugs" of the town were there.
Of course, of such a great party
The word couldn't be kept In town;
So we looked to the north of Panaca
And invited the I'iochers down.
With the noise of the car as a warning
Ihulr presence Jn town Was mad
known.
And of course we were all very Joyful
What Durg liKea its parties alone!
In the car with the happy revellers
A diKiiifled shovel lay
Kor tho' great be the fund and th
dancing
The shovel may yet save the day.
The dance progressed In Its Joy fulness,
The happy hours sued dv:
The supper was enjoyed to the fullest
And the hour for the closing drew
nigh. J , '.-,.
As Into the car went the I'iochers,
Their homeward way to 'wend, '
'Behold! the shovel was missing
No helpful aid could it lend.
We are sorry we have "toughs" In
town
Who plunder our neighbors' oars.
And if thoy weren't bigger than us
Wed kick them Into Mars.
We hud nothing to do with the thiev
ing , ,
And beg of you young men
To overlook the plunder now
And don't fail to come again.

Secretary Lane
Continues Work
Although congress adjourned with
out bringing to a vote the proposed
legislation which, it enacted into
law, would have made It possible
tacthe department of thaOnltirlor to
begin-work immediately on the con
struction of soldier settlements and
provide work and homes for thous
ands of our returned soldiers, sailors
and marines on reclaimed land, the
fact that the bill was favorably re
ported in both the house and senate
and the nationwide approval of the
plan as evidenced by the hundreds of
letters of endorsement received daily
by the department, have led Secre
tary Lane to take the stand that
there Is every reason to believe that
a similar bill will be favorably con
sidered at the coming special session
of congress. He is accordingly con
tinuing the preliminary work, of
investigation as far as the limited
funds at his disposal will permit, and
is also endeavoring to ascertain for
the information of congress the atti
tude toward the plan of as many men
in the service as he is able to reach
through the distribution ot questlon
aires at the various camps and naval
stations throughout the country.
Secretary Lane 1b In thorough ac
cord with Congressman Taylor of
Colorado, the author of the bill intro
duced at the last session of cougress
for putting the soldier-settlement
plan into effect, who said; '
I can only say to the house and
to the country, and to the many
thousands of our splendid boys who
will be- Borely disappointed by this
failure ot the house to puss this bill
or act upon this subject, that I will
reintroduce the bill on the opening
day of the next session of congress
and push the measure with all the
energy that I posesa, and 1 sincerely
hope and believe that it will be
speedily enacted into law. And I
also hope that instead of the appro
priation being $100,000,000, it ma.
be five times that amount; because'
even then we will not, in proportion
to our wealth and resources, be doing
nearly as much for our returning sol
diers as is being done by Canada,
Australia and all other Ehglish-
speaking countries. I am not only
confident that this measure will be
adopted, but I firmly believe it will
go 'down in history as one of the
great constructive policies of -our
country."
Many of-the state legislatures have
not met recently, but a large number
of the states have- already taken
action by appropriate legislation or
by the appointment of committees to
cooperate with the federal govern
ment In connection with the soddler
settlernent plan of the department.

A Prediction and
. a Good Answer
Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment ot labor says:
"The present period of readjust
ment is the critical time. . If we can
pass through it safely, we have be
fore us from eight to ten years of
Industrial activity equal to any
wave of prosperity we ever have had.
But if there Is any serious unemploy
ment, there will be a period of in
dustrial unreBt which may lead us
to a repetition ot the French or the
Russian revolution."
Secretary Lane of the department
of the interior says: .
"If congress will appropriate the
relatively small sum which I have
asked for the construction of
soldier-settlements In every state in
the Union, I can offer Jobs almost
Immediately to 100,000 ot our re
turned fighting men, thus helping
to stem the tide of industrial unrest
predicted by Secretary Wilson; pro
vide farm homes for 25,000 of these
men, thus" mitigating the evils of
tenantry; and bring Into cultivation
1,500,000 acres of at present unpro
ductive land, thus helping to make
up the deficiency in the growth of
cultivated land as compared with
the rate ot growth of our population.
There can be no surer insurance for
the nation than to put its men upon
the soil." '
