PREDICTS BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR CHURCHILL COUNTY

Judge B. V. Sargent, for many
years a member of the Superior
Court of Monterey county, Cal, but
now a resident of San Francisco, was
a visitor in Fallon last week, depart
ing Monday afternoon after a con-
sultation with his local representa-
tive, Jack Davis.
Judge Sargent is interested in a
number of mining properties and
other enterprises in this section and
when asked to give something for
publication in regard to them, he
stated that he was not seeking pub
licity. either now or in the future
preferring TO have his activities
judged by performance rather than
by promises. He expressed himself
however, as more than pleased with
the result of his Investigations here
and the character and potential val
ue of the enterprises with which he
was associated and was convinced
that Churchill county would be very
much in the public eye In the very
near future as q result of the devel-
opment of resources long neglected
and dormant

BOY SCOUTS PRESENT AN
EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION
Show Remarkable Proficiency In
Signalling and First Aid Service
to Injured

The Fallon public, through a very
generous patronage, demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the Boy Scouts
last Saturday night, at the Rex The
atre that their loyal and willing ef-
forts to serve the community in
great variety of ways, were thor
oughly appreciated, and in return,
the boys gave their audience an en-
tertainment which fairly bristled
with vim and snap, and which was as
enjoyable as any entertainment ever
seen in Fallon
The boys showed remarkable pro-
ficiency in electric flash, whistle and
semaphore signaling, first aid, and
their activities at camp before break
fast not only showed excellent train
ing, but the way in which this was
presented was especially attractive.
The stunts were very amusing and
seemed to specially please the chill
dren present. The lantern slides ex-
hibited together with a lecture by
Asst. Scoutmaster Keneipp. was ex-
tremely interesting and showed the
progress of scout from the date of
his application to his first class
scout days. The boys will probably
make a net profit of at least $50 on
the entertainment, all of which will
be used for their benefit.
That Boy Scout troop is won
derful help, and in fact, almost a
necessity to community has been
demonstrated time and again by the
local troop of boys which Astt.
Scoutmaster Keneipp readily pro-
claims one Of the best he ever saw.
Such entertainment as the one put
on last Saturday will ever be well
come in Fallon. The audience was
unanimous in expressing It's enjoy.
ment through the constant applause
which greeted the boys efforts.

JOHN HELQU|ST Meets WITH
TRAGIC DEATH IN ACCIDENT
Sudden Starting of Car When Crank
ing Throws Him Under Wheels
Causing Internal Injuries

Death came most Unexpectedly
last Sunday evening to John Hell
quist, the we'll known field foreman
of the Nevada-Utah Sugar Company
He left Fallon shortly after o.
clock declining a dinner invitation
from Mr.. Bramwell and excusing
himself with the plea of calling at
the sugar factory for his son.
Nearing the factory Office the en-
gine of the car stopped and evidently
forgetting that it was still in gear
he endeavored to start it by crank
ing, when it Immediately gained
headway throwing him to the ground
with such force that he was unable
to escape, the wheels passing over
his body, breaking several ribs and
causing internal injuries from which
he died in a few minutes.
Although dragged for a distance
he walked to the car which had in
the meantime plunged into the Of
flee building tearing away several
uprights, and In a semi-conseious
state entered it informing the office
clerk who came to his help that he
would take the car to town.
Even while urging his purpose up
on the clerk he expired with his
hands on the steering wheel.
The remains we're taken to the
undertaking parlors of Roe & Kaiser
and a coroner's inquest which was
held Monday resulted In a verdict
that death was the result of internal
hemorrhage.
The body was taken to his home
In Lehi, Utah, Monday afternoon for
interment, being accompanied by
his son Maurice and Mr.. Webb the
company chemist.
Deceased was considered an ox-
pert in his particular field of labor
and had been connected with the
company for O number of years and
was assigned to this section last
March,
He was 81 years of age and leaves
a widow and six children to mourn
his loss.

NEVADA AGAIN MAKES
A WONDERFUL RECORI

The following is an excerpt from
telegram Just received from the
Provost Marshal General:
"The preliminary estimates of
cost from the various states disclose
remarkable discrepancies. The
State of Nevada absorbed all ex-
penses incident to the draft, which
cost the federal government nothing
in that States. States of Oklahoma
Connecticut and North Dakota kept
the per capita cost of delivering a
under three dollars; the States of
Kansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana
Mississippi. Montana and Nebraska
under four dollars: Missouri and
New Jersey under five dollars; Ohio
Florida and Colorado under six dol
lars; Illinois. Utah, West Virginia
and wyoming, under seven dollars;
Arizona and Massachusetts, undei
eight dollars; Arkansas, California
Georgia, Michigan and Washington
under nine dollars; New Mexico, Or
egon and Tennessee. under eleven
dollars, Vermont, under fourteen /,
while the cost in Wisconsin and
Maine runs to something over seven
teen dollars"
The accomplishment of this splen
did record is due in a great measure
to the untiring efforts of members
of the local boards who have patri-
otieally volunteered their services,
without cost of the State and Nation

RED CROSS PREPARATIONS
FOR SOLDIERS CHRISTMAS
Through Work of Chapter Each En-
listed Soldier From This County
VIII Receive Christmas Box

Even in the midst of a multiple
ity of demands for aid in the many
branches of the war work none of
which were neglected, the local Red
Cross Chapter brought TO a most
gratifying finish its plans for the
distribution of Christmas Boxes to
our boys in the various camps and
abroad.
The first call was for 100 boxes
which was later supplemented by
another for $50 additional, mourning
a shortage of funds to meet this 80
per cent increase.
However, enough cakes have been
prepared to supply each boy from
Churchill County with a most delic-
ious evidence that he lives in the
memories of those whose promise
was that his sacrifice for the great
cause would not be forgotten.
In addition to these the Chapter
will also send $50 packages to the
Red Cross headquarters which will
doubtless be forwarded to the boys
in the trenches.
1t is a noble work these ladies
have accomplished and was nobly
done.
The committee having this branch
of the work in charge express their
Indebtedness to the following ladies
who made the cakes: Nesdames NJ,
Conrad, Fred Grob, A. r. Berry, j.
Coniff, Jas Smitten, C. w. Kinney,
Tony Castleton. Lizzie Mulvaney, and
to Mrs. Josephine Baker for the use
Of her oven.
The work was under the direction
of Mrs. E. r. Hursh who was ably
assisted by a corps of ladies from the
chapter. Sixteen sets of knitted
kits have been forwarded to the boys
recently by the local chapter.
Red Cross Headquarters
The Red Cross Chapter house will
be open on each Tuesday. Thursday
and Saturday afternoons from 1870
to 5 O'Clock and an invitation is ex-
tended to all to come and assist in
the sewing. -
An urgent call comes from the
manager of the Pacific Division for
surgical dressings, he declaring this
need to be most imperative. Red
Cross standard dressings by the mil
lions must be sent over with all
possible speed, and If not done i'm
mediately a serious calamity and ma
tional disgrace is inevitable.
The sewing and surgical dressings
have been received by the local
chapter and there will be an abund-
ance of work for all who will come,
The officers believe that the ladies
of our community need no special
urging to enlist them in work that
means so much in the alienation of
suffering and in the saving of the
lives of the boys in the trenches, and
an enthusiastic response to this call
is confidently looked for.

for loyalty to all that pertains to the
aid and comfort of our enlisted men
in the recent Red Triangle drive.
In this work of enabling Churchill
county to meet its quota of the Y

section although enlisted late, de-
posted with the treasurer $64, this
total representing no sums of large
amounts but being the cheerful re-
sponse of many to the call.
Too much credit cannot be given
to w. S. Everett and Mesdames Fred

ING FOR SOFA PILLOWS

The drawing for the sofa pillows
donated by the ladies of the Sheck-
Ter district took place in front of the
Court House last Saturday and the
result of their efforts enabled them

Judge L. <. Winters presided and
in brief talk outlined the object oi
the weeks of preparation impressing
upon those who had in any manner
aided in the work the pleasure the

were defending.
