President Wilson says: Patriotism
leaves profits out of the question.
This is a high sentiment. but we fear
that as an economic proposition il
would be sadly short sighted. Indeed
the President himself plainly recog-
nizes the fallacy. since he clearly indi-
Gates that "a just price must be paid
for everything the government buys
He might have said: For everything
that everybody buys" Just prices
must be paid by all and for everything
if civilized life is to go on. The only
disputable question is as 70 the nature
of a just price in any particular trans
action or for any %particular commod-
ity or service. Here is the critical
factor in the whole situation. and the
whole issue between those who are
debating the price topic today is sim
ply as to how and by whom the just
price shall be determined; whether
by the operation of natural law as
old as humanity itself, or by the IN
novation of arbitrary governmental
ukase. To the solution of this prob
lem, we say with all due respect. the
President makes no contribution At
this time.
Business men are eheerfully accept
ing their share of the burdens. More
than doubled income taxes; excess
profit tax up to so per cent; license
fees, stamp duties. imposts on all the
agencies of business and means Of
enjoyment-their name is legion-are
faced with smiling resignation. 1t is
for the country. 1t is in a sense the
ransom of blood. But in order TO
make these huge contributions of
patriotic duty the business men must
have the means. And the only means
are profits.-[New York Evening Sun.

TWenty-Three.

Various Origins of the slang phrase
''twenty-three" in connection with the
word skidoo-which means to escape
or vamoose-have been given at vari
ous times. The most interesting Of
these is that in the days of the old
theatrical stock companies an actor
would be given by a manager Is parts
to memorize in five weeks or be
dropped from the salary LISTS and
8, o know. make %. Another inter-
esting explanation is that the expul-
sion of Adam from the Garden of
Eden occurs in the third chapter of the
book of Genesis in the twenty-third
verse.

A FRIEND OF z

According to General Nakashoji
minister of agriculture and commerce
of Japan. the total value of Japan's
export trade for 1916 was 1.127, 46S. 900
yen. Thirty per cen of this export
trade-in our money about $170, 000,-
OO0-went to the United States. Japan
sold us $91,O0O,OOO worth of her goods
in 1913. the last year under the pro-
tective tariff law. This year she
handed US about 5000, 00o. 900 worth of
her merchandise. The Wilson-Under-
wood tariff law is the best friend
Japan ever shook hands with.

WAR FACTORY OF $4,000
ARISES IN 10 MONTHS

London. - Leading Germans
admit that England's Industrial
mobilization for war was quick
er and more efficient than Ger
many's. What draws this aston
ishing statement from England's
enemies may be judged from the
following description of a single
munitions factory, a plant in
Scotland, recently inspected by
King George:
Eighteen months ago the fac
tory did not exist; today it EN-
/. ploys more than 1900 men and
5000 women operatives and a
staff of 100 men and nearly $40
women, while 10000 men are
still engaged in completing it's

IN MEMORY OF ONE LOVE
By L. w. Davies

Permit me, Mr.. Editor to say: That
in the passing of Frank C. Jones
from our midst, the community hes
lost great, good heart
Self sacrifice, self abncgation, mark
ed the pathways of his life. His
actions. his good deeds, must be the
stepping stones for those who may
follow in the lead of his goodness;
though not OF infinite power, his life
wcs full of infinite goodness.
A perfect day was given for those
who from respect and love for him,
followed his remains to its last rest
ing place. And as the choir sang his
much loved hymn, Nearer My God to
Thee" the sun, as if to draw a curtain
between this life and tie unfathonl-
able beyond, was slowly sinking, and
he was laid to rcst beneath the
shadowings of the mountains he low
ed
One thing of all c.m things. | know
is true,
The heart with in me knows, and tells
1t to you,
So blind is life, so long at last is
sleep,
And none but love to bid us laugh or
weep.
The days so short, the night SO quick
to fee,
The world so wide, SO deep and dark
the sea,
So for the suns and every listless star,
Beyond their light-Ah, friend, who
knows, how far.

D. Y. EVERETT
REFUSES DRAFT

According to his announcement on
last Thursday, Donald Wayne Everett
of Minden, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
III. NJ Everett, did not appear to
answer roll call and leave with the
third quota OF men under the select
i've draft Friday afternoon. After the
train had left Minden, carrying the
boys to American Lake, young
Everett went from his home to the
court house and gave himself up to
Sheriff Nielsen.
The local board took up the mat
ter with the higher officials, and as
a result the Sheriff was ordered to
take the young man to Reno Tuesday
and there turn him over to the mill
tary officials. Young Everett went
willingly and according to his own
words is readyto face any punishment
that may be inflicted upon him.
As stated in last weeks issue,
young Everett refused to go to war
because of religious scruples. 1t was
pointed out to him that he could be
assigned to work back of the lines
and that he would not be called upon
TO take the life of human being, of
which he opposed. To him a nom
eombatant, was directly or Indirect
ly aiding in the war, and against his
religious beliefs.
According to a statement made by
Donald's father to the Record-C Courier,
Il conversation was held by them on
Monday and it was then agreed that
he would go to the army training
camp without further protest. On
Monday night, young Everett received
n spiritual admonition that his prev
ius decision was in accord with Gods
teachings When visited by his
father Tuesday morning. Donald told
him of his vision, and his determina-
ton to follow his religious beliefs,
and no influence of his father could
change him.
From Reno young Everett was taken
TO the Preside at San Francisco
where he will be court marshaled and
tried as wilful deserter in time OF
war

SALOON MEN
PAY HEAVY TAX

The new war tax placed on liquors
of all kinds, cigars and cigarettes,
has forced dealers this week to make
complete inventories OF their stocks
to file with the revenue officials.
shortly before Tie war tax was
announced. retail liquor dealers
throughout the country, were nrsed
by the wholesalers to lay in big stools
and consequently many of the small
dealers took the advice In Gardner
vile. some os the dealers purchased
enough wnisAey to last three years
years under normal conditions, this
step being thought necessary because
down whiskey distilleries. The extra
tax of s2.i0 per gallon, besides the
regular revenue of s1.10 a gallon,
hits the little dealers hard especially
those who have, through the advise of
wholesalers stocked up for three
years or more.
While the local dealers have not as
yet agreed on any uniform price. 1t
is quite probable that the price of
a glass OF whiskey will be 10 or 20
cents
Tobacco dealers have advanced the
price of all kinds of tobacco, cigars
and cigarettes sufficient to cover the
extra tax.

answered roll call, they were placed
in charge of c. B. McInnis, one of
their number, by Sheriff Nielsen
Following several patriotic selections
by the band, T. S. Hook, in a few we'll
chosen words, told the boys of their
responsibilities and on behalf of the
people of Douglas county, bid them
farewell. Miss Hoffer followed and
In very charming and captivating
manner gave a patriotic rendition
rounding II out with the chorus of a
popular verse, "Send Me Away With
a Smile Little Girl" So appropriate
were the words, and SO earnestly
and forcibly we're they spoken by Miss
Hoffer, that many tear rolled
gently upon cheeks Of upturned faces.
j 1t was announced by F. e. Brock
liss that the wrist watches had not
arrived in time for presentation at
that time but would be forwarded to
the boys.
High school girls then stepped for
ward and pinned miniature American
flags upon the coats OF the boys. A
big bundle OF tobacco, supplied by the
tobacco fund, was handed to the
captain of the quota, and the soldier
boys applauded loudly.
Headed by the band and flanked on
all sides by school children, each
carrying an American flag, the boys
