moment there is some uncertainty as
to wheter any more will be asked for

but very few. Alfred Baker and

That Liberty Day, Wednesday, Oct
24th, was national day for every one
throughout the Untel States is con-
iirmed by reports OF Liberty l.olr
Rallies in all corners and by the es.i-
mate OF sales of about $3,0OoWcC00
worth OF bonds of the Second Liberty
Loan on that day.
In Yerington the business houses
closed at noon, and every effort was
ent toward boosting the sale of bonds
At the close OF business that afternoon
the Lyon County Bank reported the
sale OF $l2.650 worth OF bonds. Among
he subscribers was an Indian squaw
or $500, which not only speaks for
he Indian ladies' patriotism, but also
or her frugality in saving that "a
mount of money, which is something
nut of the ordinary for the race. Up
o the time of going to press. the Ma
son Valley Bank reported the sale OF
10000 worth of bonds.
The last few days of the drive for
he sale of Liberty Loan Bonds have

SEE THE BIG WAR
FROM A BALLOON

Word has just been received today
of perhaps the newest and most inter-
esting branch of the army. This new
branch of the service is for the pur-
pose of making observations from
captive ballons. The most exciting
moments are when these captive bal
looms are picked as targets by the
enemy aeroplane, at which time the
observers, who always have para
chutes firmly attached to their persons
Jump out of the balloon basket, even
though they are three or four thous-
and feet from the ground, and float
down to safety while the friendly
airships Immediately arrive and at
tempt to drive off the attackers from
ehe unoccupied balloon.
1t is suggested that those interest
ed get in touch with Mr.. J. |. Wilson,
Local Branch Chairman of the Mill
tary Training Camps Association, who
has application blanks for distribution
and details concerning this new
branch of the service which is bound
to become very popular. Only limit
ed number of applications can be re-
ceived for this branch-therefore. IT
YOU are going to investigate this pro-
position do so at once.

been extravagant in the past but now
if we are to help feed our allies great
savings must be made because of the
short crops in Canada and Europe.
You are urged to use corn meal as
it can not be milled in Europe and the
pleople there do not understand the
best methods OF preparing it for the
table The spirit of patriotism that
pervades Lyon County will certainly
help along this work, and when the
ladies present themselves with the
pledge cards let no slackers urge their
inability to do their share. Herbert
Hoover says: "The question of who
wins the war is the question of who
can endure the longest, and the
problem of endurance. in large de-
gree, is problem of food supply and
ships to carry it,"

A comprehensive new plan for ap-
plying the army selective draft, which
would take first only men without de-
pendents and OF no particular value to
war industries, and establish various
grades of dependency and industrial
value from which future drafts would
be made strictly on the selective basis,

1t is proposed to formulate in each

ond class, those with wives in the
third class, those with wife and one
child in the fourth, and so on.
No class would be exempted as such
but the valuable men would be placed
so that they would not be called until
the need for soldiers became more
urgent and all the less essential clas-
ses were exhausted.
The plan involves determination
by the government of what industries
are the most valuable, and this is CIV
ing officials considerable difficulty.
Farmers organizations, shipping
board officials and shipbuilders, muni-
ton makers, railroad heads, coal ope-
rators and many others are insisting
on the prime importance of their own
employees in civil work.
1t is understood the entire program
will be made known as soon as 1t is
completed and approved by President
Wilson to allay the anxiety prevailing
throughout many industries over the
next draft, which had been planned
for as early as December before the
new plan was proposed, but which
now may be delayed.

Miss Agnes Compton was bitten BY
a cat under very disquieting circum-
stances on Wednesday. The animal
appeared TO be i'll and when she pick

response. When it was put down a
little later it jumped up and caught
her on the finger, biting her seriously.

gated and possibly to take treatment

The Law of Compensation.

AS general rule the law of com
pensatlon holds good. but it cannot
be said that it is universally true. II
practically all things their are excep-
tions.
The acts Of nations and individ
uals, all social customs and conditions
and forms of government are either
good or bad. The good is the pro
gressive or constructive. Only those
who have added something by theil
work and perseverance, can claim To
be benefactors of humanity, and he
who adds the most to civil cation is
the greatest man. Everything which
Is destructive or hinders progress is
evil. The SO. called neutral or harm
less element does not exist. Anything
which is on the dividing line, or is
said to be, is hindrance TO progress
in that 1t works no good.
Whatever one does he is practically
certain to be compensated for 1t.
There is balance in all things, from
the mechanical forces thru all
mature to the acts OF men. 1t is next
to impossible to escape the full
consequences, for reaction is certain
even In the material sense. II the
deed is beneflcent the consequences
will be the same. If evil, like
consequences will follow. As surely
as good works good, evil works evil.
The loss is irreparable. No good can
come to the victim of the preparation
of the act. 1t is a case In which
something is lost and nothing is
gained. A destructive force can
cause nothing but destruction. 1t is
equally true of nations and govern.
ments. They either make or destroy
themselves.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The British and French continue
to push the German line back on the
western front between Arras and
Scissors and are approaching st,
Quentin. Some minor operations are
reported In Russia and Rumania.
The German submarines are still
active, about 100000 tons of shipping
being destroyed during March.
The United States was the first
9 eat nation to recognize the
NV provisional government in Rus
sla. The deposed car aud czarIna
have been placed under arrest In
Russia and officers of the Romanoff
family removed from the army.
AT present ten nations are engaged
In war against the central powers.
IL Is now fully expected that the
United States will add one more to
this number. The government has
called out $1,000 state troops to pro
tect national interests at home and
the navy is being recruited to over
100, 900 men. The agricultural de-
partment is calling on farmers To in
crease production, prevent waste and
conserve f0odStuffS.
