NEVADA WILL RESPOND

Exactly what was said of the people of the state of Utah, by
the presiding bishop of the Mormon church, may be said of
Nevada and her citizens. The need of funds for the Red Gross
is one that must be recognized by every man, woman and chill
in the state. We have been congratulated for our liberal re-
Spouse in the Liberty Loan, but that has required no real sacri-
flee. The Red Gross fund is as necessary to an early victory
over Germany as are a well-equiped army and navy. No sum
is too small to help. The schoolboy is helping when he con-
tributes his dime to the fund and every person can afford to aid
this most worthy cause. NOW is the time.

that Germany has about three regiments of troops in the field

RESTORATION AND INDEMNITY

In answer to inquiries by Petrograd, the French govern
ment has clearly defined its aims in this war. 1t insists on the
restoration Of Asace-Lorraine and of all French territory no,
in the hands of the Germans, and also the restoration of Bel
GUM, with full indemnities for outrages unnecessarily inflicted
by the German army in occupied territories. AS far as cal
be Judged, these claims coincide with the Russian idea of no
annexation and no indemnify. In all probability France would
never have gone to war to recover her lost provinces, but one,

The camp to which our men go is
Camp Funston, situated near Fort
Riley, Kansas. This latter named
post is one of the big army posts and
schools Of the country and is under
the command Of Major General Leon
ard Wood, which is a guarantee that
it is bound to be the best managed
and administered camp for the new
army that can be picked from among
the whole lot. General Wood has

BONE DRY LAW WORKS WELL

Last Friday was a very unlucky
day as far as two persons were con
cornod one man. Charles Rood, was
arrested for having liquor in a public
place, to-wit. the street, and placed
in Jail Another man got off the rail
way train from the east in the ever
ing and started to change cars and go
north. a railway detective notified
the sheriff that he had liquor on his
person. and he was arrested with a
bottle in his pocket. His name was
c. T. Bowers, and he was on his way
from Iowa TO Clark, where he had
work.
Sheriff MINER took both men to
Clark Sunday, to have them before
Judge Sherwood early Monday morn
ing. States Attorney Purdy went up
In his auto to appear for the state.
The two men were fined each 5000
and given thirty days in Jail. with the
sentence suspended during good be
havior and upon the payment of the
costs.
The man Bowers seemed to have
no real intention of importing liquor
into the state and had a job already
for him at Clark. But his ignorance
OF our new law was a stumbling
block in his path. He was seen TAX
ing a drink on the train before its ar
rival here and his heavy grip made
the detective suspicious. Hence the
arrest. The other man had been
drinking around town with a com
panion, and this latter person was ar
rested the night before for being
drunk and drew a fine from the JUS
tice Of the peace.
It Is very evident that sobriety is
to be the order Of the day In Brook
ings, and it would be well for all per
sons, irrespective OF race, color or
previous condition Of seryitude TO
heed this admonition-keep perfectly
sober and as far from any intoxicat-
ing LIQUOR as o can.

We want to thank the young ladies
who are daily sending in their COZ
pons for membership in the band of
young women who are going to do
what they can to help the soldier boys
on the front forget that they are far

cause these coupons do not come in
overwhelming numbers, that we are
getting the names of the very best
young women who have read of the
project. This is a patriotic duty that
you are called on to perform and it
is only those who realize that it is
do it, that We want to respond to the
call.
Not enough have responded as yet,
and more are needed, may we urge
you to take up this duty and join this
faithful band of young women. There
are going to be a few that will fall
out and We must have a goodly re-
serve list to take the place Of those
who for one reason or another are
compelled to give up the work.

it is no doubt but what the sorrow
and grief Of the passing of that little
life, so dear to him, was a blow
which FASTENED to some degree his
own passing on.
George \. Kennard was born at
L%ambourn, England, on February 4th,
1852. After the preliminary educa-
cation of bOyhoOd age. was sent to
Littlemore Academy at oxford and
later was a student in the gymnasium
at Pinneburg, Germany. He travelled
in Europe after the Franco-Prussian
war with his parents, and entered the
diplomatic services Of his country, be
ing attached to the consulate at
Cronstadt and St. Petersburg in the
capacity of a secretary. In 1874 he
returned to England and in 1876 sailed
for the United States from Rouen,
France, and landed in New Orleans
during the time of the prevelancy of
yellow fever. He came at once to
Chicago and then to Grundy county,
Iowa, settling at Grundy Center,
where he taught German in the pub
lie schools. He also taught in the
rural schools Of the county and was
afterwards elected county superinten-
dent OF schools. October 9th, 1882,
he was united in marriage with Miss
Honoria NJ. Eberlein, Of Grundy coun
ty.
In 1899 the family moved to Brook
ings county, Mr.. Kennard having pur-
chased land near Bookings. Here
the Kennards have closely identified
themselves with the growth and de-
velopment of the county, Mr.. Kennard
giving himself to the cultivation Of
his farms and the raising of pure
bred stock. In all the movements
started around Brookings for the bet
terment Of farming and farming con-
ditions, Mr.. Kennard has always been
a pioneer. He early saw the need Of
diversified farming and care in the
selection of seed. He for many years
made it a business Of having for sale
the best seeds to be used in this CHM
ate, giving special attention to corn, in
the raising Of which he was eminent
ly successful. Being identified with
the county fair from its start as a
stakeholder, his stock and grain ex-
hibits We're always an important part
OF the annual show. After moving
to his farm just west Of the fair
grounds, he vas also a member Of
the city council, representing the
third ward for one term. He was
also for a number of years a director
of the county fair and for two years
was its president. His administra-
ton extending over the fair Of 1916
when the largest county fair ever held
