WELCOME TO anna
PLANNED BY BAND

Following the example of st. Louis,
Omaha. and perhaps some other cities
further east, Winnemucca will meet
Anna Held with a band tomorrow.
The world-famous connoisseur cf
milk baths and ravishing chorus girls
has been considerable of a daughter
of regiments during the past two
years, and it is in recognition of her
wartime services that she has been so
enthusiastically welcomed on this
this trip. AS the plan is today, the
Winnemucca band will be out tomor-
row with the Red Cross solicitors for
money for Christmas boxes, and this
proceeding is expected to be over with
just about the time No. 19 (or Annals
section of it, will arrive. The band

WILD WEST STORY
IS SURE THRILLER

Perhaps the last genuine story OF
the old-time West which will ever be
written by a man who knows what he
ia talking about is THE Lone Star
Ranger" by Zane Grey. This story
makes a book of twenty-seven chap
ters. or just about one hundred col
umns of a newspaper such as The
silver State. The fact that 1t is pub
lished and copyrighted by Harper 4
Brothers tell all that may be said
regarding the literary excellence of
the narrative.
The Silver State has made arrange
ments to publish this story in the form
OF a serial, and the opening chapters
will appear in about two weeks. This
story is genuine wild West"-the
border days of Texas in the early
seventies-and it is told by a man who
knows how to tell it. 1t is of special
timeliness now. because it deals with
other turbulent days, in Texas and
along the Mexican border, when cattle
rustlers ruled the land, and agility
with a gun was a most desirable ac-
complishment.
The Portland Telegram says, There
is a punch in this yarn that makes it
one OF Grey's best" There is, there is.
And the illustrations which will ap-
pear with nearly every chapter in The
Silver State will lend weight to the
punch. No one who loves the West
and cherishes its traditions can afford
to miss reading this story. 1t is well
worth the price of a three-months
subscription, to say nothing of the
remainder of the newspaper. Send N
a subscription for your buckaroo or
miner friend, as a Christmas present.

HANDS UP! TAXES
TO BE PAID TODAY
Washington, November /. 1917.
:. Ultimate Consumer:

washington, November i, 1917.
Mr. Ultimate Consumer:
My Dear Sir-You are due for some
terrific jolts about the end of this
week, for by November many of the
new war taxes will be in effect and
your pocketbook will grow smaller
each day. Some of the taxes are
dated today November u. Others go
into effect thirty days after the pass
age of the War Revenue Act, which
would make the date, approximately,
November g.
Many of the new levies are now in
existence. While others have not yet
gone into effect, dealers in the taxed
articles are beginning to protect
themselves. This is noticeable in the
case of tobacco, which should not be
taxed until November 3.
On and after today November y
these taxes become operative:
Three per cent upon transportation
of property by freight.
One cent for each twenty cents. of
express cost.
Eight per cent of the cost of rail
way and steamer fares.
Ten per cent of the cost of berths,
staterooms and chair-ear seats.
Five cents upon telephone. telegraph
and radio messages costing more than
fifteen cents.
Eight cents per 800 or fraction on
amount of life-insurance policies.
One per cent on premiums paid for
marine. fire, casualty and inland in
surance.
One cent on each ten cents or frac-
tion paid for admissions Children
under ten years pay but one cent total
tax. Free passes carry tax equiva-
lent to that paid by the purchaser of
ticket Shows where the maximum
is five cents are exempted, as are
amusement parks charging no more
than ten cents admission. Charity
fairs are exempt. Admissions will
include seats at tables. and there will
be a tax upon reservations.
First-class mail will call for three
cent stamps where it now calls for
two cent ones; however. a two and
one may be used so long as you have
them. Post cards will cost twice as
much as at present, as will drop let
ters in non-delivery offices. That
means drop-letters will be two cents
at Winnemucca Mail to soldiers on
foreign duty will go free.
Remember, these postage rates are
in effect tomorrow morning.
Club dues above s12 per year will
be taxed ten per cent.
The above are all taxes which will
be imposed by the end of this week.
The tobacco tax will go into effect at
the same time. However, it has been
imposed already by practically every
retailer. 1t was put into effect by the
dealers at the same time that the
liquor taxes were imposed-upon the
passage of the act, October 8. Taxes
on automobiles. sporting goods and
drugs went into effect at the same
time.
OF course, these taxes are all in
addition to your income tax. upon
which you will have to make a re-
turn before next March. So you had
better begin your conservation of
wealth right now-just at the time
you are planning your Christmas ex-
penses. Yours respectfully,
UNCLE SAM.

you have in mind is solely de-
pendent on you, do not try to
hide behind petticoats or child
rem to escape service.
The tenth question asks if you
are married or single and also
your race.
Question eleven asks what
military service you may have
performed in the past and for
what state or nation.
Question twelve asks if you
claim exemption from draft. Be-
cause you claim exemption from
draft it by no means follows
that you are exempt. For the
information of the War Depart
ment you should make the claim
at registration time if you in
tend to prosecute it. This must
be stated briefly.
When you have registered be-
fore a register on registration
day you will be given a registra-
tion card which must be shown
to any officer of the law in the
county. state or nation making
demand to see same. Upon
failure to present this card
which bears a number which
corresponds with the registra-
tion card you will be subject to
arrest and Imprisonment and
subject to military service just
the same.
AS much publicity as possible
will be given through the news
papers and otherwise before
registration day and if there is
any person who knows anyone
who is liable to military service
whom he thinks does not know
of the provisions of the law he
will perform a service by notify
ing him.

Nearly Fifteen Hundred Men to be
Employed at Barksdale
Many Men Beginning to Arrive in the
City from Outside Points.
Wages the Best.

There is indications that there
is to be considerable activity at
the plant of the E. ]. DUPONT
Co. at Barksdale during the
summer months which will in
all probability continue for a
period of a year, or more.
The influx of men began dur
ing the past week and already
the rooming houses and board
ing houses of the city are be-
ginning to fill up but arrange
ments have been made whereby
all men employed at the plant
will be taken care of in Wash
burn. The statement has been
given out by Superintendent
Beers that at least fifteen hun
dred men will be employed at
the plant during the coming
year and that the crew will be
maintained largely throughout
the winter months.
Orders for the u. S. Govern
ment and it's allies are said to be
keeping the plant near this city
crowded to capacity and that
these orders will insure the plant
Of a big crew forathe next year
at least, and probably much
longer.
Washburn demonstrated two
years ago that it was able to
take care of any crew that the
DUPONT company might bring in
and as soon as it was known
that the company was enlarging
their crew arrangements were
made through the Commercial
Club for the caring for the men.
