Rebekah Ball a Grand Success.

The queen of The Valley Rebekah
Lodge scored decided social success
with their grand ball on Labor day.
The decorations of pink and green
were beautiful and added the attract
ion to the affair that charmingsur-
roundings always give. The gowns of
the ladies added to the festive occa-
sion that was completed by the excel
lent music. A three piece orchestra
composed of Brown, Little and Car
raon persuaded the dancers to con-
tinue their gayety until the wee sma'
hours.

ball and all its arrangements was conn.,

HON0RR0LL
FOR LYON
CROWDS CHEER
DEPARTING men

On the afternoon of Thursday the
sixth. our first contingent OF soldiers
started for camp. At two o'clock they
were rendered a reception at the Court
House and each was presented with
a comfort kit bv the Red Cross. The
reception was not elaborate but the
current of feeling ran very deep and
not one present but was stirred at
marking the quality OF our young men
and at remembering that they go to
tight for us. The band played a
number OF stirring pieces and closed
uhe program by playing for the audi
ence to sing with them, one verse OF
America. Judge Hauscr made a brief
address just long enough to let the
hoys know that our thoughts and
hearts will go with them to the train
ing camp and the field. Many said
good bye with tears very close to be
ing visible and when the boys took
the auto for Wabuska large number
followed. Here until train time the
scene was reenacted and there is no
doubt that Yerington and Lyon coun-
ty mean to remember their represent
atives at the front and o be loyal to
the nation they are fighting for.

performed on various state highways
under the supervision of the state
highway commission will be disposed
OF in time for work to start early IN
next spring, according to statement
made by X. X. West, highway engin

missions road building projects By
that time it is expected to have all
the projects estimates out OF the way
and matters relating to cooperation
between the state and federal govern
ments finally disposed of
At the present time the highway
engineer has a surveying party in the
field making surveys between the
south line OF Washoe lake and Reno
on toth sides of the lake. 1t is likely
that an effort will be made to have
a rural route established in that ter
ritory.

last week made a trip over the Lin-
coin Highway and Overland trail in
company with r. Warren Allen, gen
eral inspector of the United States
office OF public roads west OF the Mis-
sissippi river, and c. II. Sweetsar,
district engineer for the United States
Office OF public roads at Berkeley, his
district including Nevada, Arizona,
California and New Mexico. The pur-
pose OF the trip was to have the dis
trict engineer pass on the projects
which are to participate in the federal
aid law in this state. Il a;Ho was
sought to familiariz the inspector with
the projects so that he may be con-
versant with them when they come i'll
The party spent four days going and
four days returning on the trip. They
went to Salt Lake over the Overland
Trail and while there Mr.. West con
ferred with the highway engineer at
Salt Lake. Returning the party took
the Lincoln highway. The roads
were found in fairly good condition
all the way, going and coming.
The construction plan mapped out
by the highway engineer calls for the
elimination of all unnecessary curves
on all roads and to accomplish this 1t
will be necessary for rights OF way to
be secured In short while it is like
ly that property owners through
whose premises it is planned to drive
the highways will be asked for rights
of way and requested to cooperate in
every manner possible so as to furth-

mind what to do in the matter he
wrote her letter stating that he had
received a portrait which he presumed
to be hers. that he had been favorably
impressed with 1t and suggested that
they meet and get acquainted.
The princess replied that they would
better correspond for awhile before
meeting in order to learn Of each 9TH

For several months they wrote each
other. and then the princess sent
brief note stating that she had learned
but one thing about her suitor. He
had shown himself a true man in de-
clining to put himself in q position to
decline to marry a woman because ma
ture had laid upon her a physical
blemish. She appointed time for the
meeting.
Alanthus went to the palace expect
ing to see the woman whose likeness
had been sent him. He met a different
person. When the princess appeared
he was thrilled. She was radiantly
beautiful.
The princess married Alanthus, who
turned out to be young king who

prices for the public as well as for the
government on steel, lumber and other
basic war materials should be greatly
enlarged IN its scope SO as to give the
President in the interim the power to fix
prices on virtually any commodity
1t is conceivable, advocates of such
course insist, that situation can arise
in the next few weeks affecting some
staple commodities not covered by the
present legislation that would call for
prompt and effective measures Of relief
for the public.
They are in favor of investing the
President with the power to deal with
such situation, though possibly limit
ing this to the period when congress will
not be in session. 1t is even possible
that Joint resolution may be proposed
reatfirming all Of the Presidents war
powers in order that no doubt may be
left as to their scope.
