THE STATE OF NEVADA

When the next draft call is made Nevada will
get credit for all men who enlisted between une 80
and December Is, according to information reach
ing Adjutant General Sullivan from the provost
marshal general This will result in the number OF
men to be furnished through the draft being very
small and the adjutant general says that
ties may not be required to furnish any men at all
by means OF the draft
When the first draft was ordered the state re-
ceived credit for all enlistments from April to
June 80.
The adjutant general says that while nothing
has been announced to indicate how many will be
asked for in the next quota, he believes it will be
considerably smaller than the first The adjutant
general believes that the next call will be made

NEVADA IS SAVING"

That Nevadans are doing their share of food
saving is evidenced by the reports which have been
received at the office of the Federal Food Administ-
rator for Nevada from other states.
To date, thirty hotels and restaurants have
ported their savings for the month of November.
This is about one-fourh of the total number in the
State, and as the campaign late in starting, only
three meatess and wheatless days are included The
report shows that approximately $4,000 lbs of meat
were saved in the three meatless days in November
Hoyt, State Food Administrator in speech in
Reno stated that he thought that it would not be
necessary add the meatless and wheatless DAYS
for the present such good results had been OBJ
tanned A conference OF mllers was held recently
with the idea OF planning reduction in the prices
OF cereals that urged upon the housewives as
wheat substitutes. At present the whole wheat, corn
meal graham -four and bran are more expensive
than wheat -four and it is asking good deal of poor
people that they the most expensive food
