NEVADA FILM MAKES GOOD
ON SAN FRANCISCO RELEASE

A few Winnemucca people were
privileged to witness the initial pre-
sentation of "The Planter" in Reno
asst July. The entire picture, before
cutting" was seven reels. 1t is a
remarkable piece of work, and all
Nevada folk will rejoice to know that
it's premiere is so favorablyy received
as indicated by the following from the
Reno Gazette:
Herman Whittaker's "The Planter. .
parts of which were filmed in Nevada.
and which is largely the result of
local enterprise, made its first public
showing in San Francisco this week.
creating a record that is likely to be
the high-water mark for motion-pic-
ture successes of the last few years.
The picture was shown in Reno sew
eral months ago and is just released
for general exhibition.
Word was received over the tele-
phone this morning from Frank Man
son, who is in San Francisco, to the
effect that crowds are lining up four
deep in front of the box-office win
dows, in an effort to secure admission
to the picture. San Francisco NOV
ing-picture men, the word comes, say
the success of the picture is appa-
rently phenomenally great.
Manson arrived in San Francisco on
the Overland Limited which was de-
rallied Tuesday the other side of the
Summit and delayed seven hours.

"The Red Cross takes care of their
wounds, the 'Y' gives them courage
and keeps their minds clean," is the
slogan adopted in the Y.MC.A. effort
to raise $4,000. 900 for war work. A
committee was appointed in Winnie
mucca at meeting held last night.
Arrangements were made to receive
contributions Monday, November 10.
Tonight Lovelock will have a mass
meeting to raise funds for the Y.M.C.A.
The boys" are to be auctioned off, so
it is said, their names being painted
on separate cards so that an auctio-
neer can ask for bids on each man.
Several big bidders have been secured,
it is reported, to start the bids off 1t
a high mark, and there promises to be
great rivalry for the men. All the
money secured will be turned into the
fund and Lovelock expects to fill it's
quota in this way.

WOKE UP With A
MOTOR IN HIS lap

A thrilling description of how an
aeroplane descends when its engine is
stalled is contained in a letter re-
ceived yesterday by Mrs. ]. L. Work.
man from her son, Ben F. Huddleson.
who is at the aviation station, North
Island, San Diego, California. Among
other things the letter says:
Went up with one of the Wrights
the other day. After ascending sew
eral hundred feet our engine stalled
and we came down rather suddenly.
1t is not pleasant feeling to see the
houses, ground and trees coming up
to meet you and know that you are
practically helpless, but it is all in a
days work Good for us, the old boat
landed on her nose instead of a wing.
When woke up the motor was in my
lap. Got several bumps and shall
have to remain on the ground for a
few days"
Which reminds home-staying bodies
of a story: During the early days of
aviation, at the beginning of the wal
a party of English ladies and gentle
men visited one of the aviation fields
and one of the ladies. who knew more
of drawing rooms than of aeronautics,
asked of an American mechanician:
What do you do when the engine
stops while you are in midair?"
The man replied: when we are
hung up by the stopping of the engine
of course we stay right there and it is
sometimes fearful task to get us
down."
Virgil Boyd, another Winnemucca
boy left on No. yesterday morning
for San Francisco, where he will join
th9 engineer corps. Virgil has been
an employe at the Western Pacific
roundhouse here for a number of
years and his many friends wish him
all kinds of luck as a soldier.
Word has reached here to the effect
that Mark Guthrie of this place and
Fred Scott of Platora, who have been
stationed at Camp Lewis, American
Lake, Washington, have been trans
ferred to Camp Mills, New York state.

PROCLAMATION BY
PRESIDENT WILSON

BY the President of the United States

II has long been the honored custom
OF our people to turn in the fruitful
autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for His
many blessings and mercies to us as
a nation That custom we can follow
now, even in the midst of the tragedy
of a world shaken by war and i'm
measurable disaster, in the midst OF
sorrow and great peril, because even
amidst the darkness that has gathered
about us we can see the great bless
ings God has bestowed upon us -
blessings that are better than mere
peace of mind and prosperity of enter
prise.
We have been given an opportunity
to serve mankind as we once served
ourselves in the great day of our
Declaration of Independence, by TAX
ing up arms against a tyranny that
threatened to master and debase men
everywhere. and joining with other
free peoples in demanding for all the
nations of the world what we then
demanded and obtained for ourselves.
In this day Of the revelation of our
duty not only to defend our own
rights as a nation, but to defend also
the rights of free men throughout the
world, there has been vouchsafed is
in full and inspiring measure the reso-
luton and spirit of united action. We
have been brought to one mind and
purpose. A new vigor of common
counsel and common action has been
revealed in us.
We should especially thank God in
such circumstances, in the midst OF
the greatest enterprise the spirits of
men ever entered upon. we have. il we
but observe a reasonable and practi-
cable economy, abundance with which
to supply the needs OF those associ-
ated with us as well as our own. A
new light shines about us. The great
duty of a day awakens a new and
greater national spirit about us. We
shall never again be divided or woa-
der what stuff we are made of.
And while we render thanks for
these things let us pray Almighty God
that in humbleness of spirit we may
look always to Him for guidance; that
we may be kept constant in the spirit
and purpose OF service; that by His
grace our minds may be directed and
our hands strengthened: and that In
His good time liberty and security and
peace and the comradeship of COM
mon Justice may be vouchsafed all
nations of the earth.
Whereas. /. Woodrow Wilson, Presi-
dent of the United States of America.
do hereby designate Thursday, the
twenty ninth day of November. next,
as a day of thanksgiving and prayer,
and invite the people throughout the
land to cease upon that day from their
ordinary occupations and in their sew
eral homes and places of worship to
render thanks TO God, the Great Ruler
of nations.
In witness whereof, have hereto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District OF Columbia,

year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and seventeen, and of the
independence of the United States the
one hundred and forty-second.

Mr.. Laskin's diplomacy has so far
not stood him in good stead. He first
put il to use on the customs officials,
claiming that as a diplomat he was
entitled TO have his luggage entered
free of duty. The customs offieials nd
mitted that this was indisputable and
asked for those imposing credentials
with the gold plated seal and the baby
blue ribbons which diplomats always
cary around in their hip pockets.
1t is reported that he produced a
document not half as imposing as II

The amount collected was $3S,sll 80 as
against $34,6I3.50 during the same per-
iod last year. showing an increase for
1917 Of $4,l9s.S0. h, ",
A feature of the amounts received
by the treasury was the decrease in IL

there were no club licenses, yet the to.
tai received for liquor licenses reach.

reached Sll,450 for both liquor aud

sum OF $4,000 represents liquor lieens.

Tho falling OF IL moneys collected
for hquor isehses Is probably due To

Supervisors Decide
To Slaughter,
Democratic Emblem

In touching letter written to the
board of supervisors and read at the
meeting last evening, the garbage de-
partmcnt asked permission to kill a
mule. The mule, explained the letter,
had been kicked by fellow mule and
as a consequence was on the sick list
and about to draw workmen's compen.
satiOn. 2ar
Unfortunately for the troubled super,
visors, the mule does not belong to the
city and county. II has been hired
from local mule aquarium, and the
troubled supervisors were concerned
over how much it would cost them IL
they carried out the sanguinary anbi.
tions Of the garbage department. u
But the I've Republican members Of
the board, remembering that the mule
is the emblem Of the Democratic party,
decided TO take a sporting chance; and
so by sunset today there win be one
mule less in the city and county of
Honolulu. '.'f '' ~
