Saturday night without Raymond Cross,
and Manager Bert Bupp, of the Bears, was
not a bit plea sed, but why he could assume
this attitude Is a mystery. because Reading

PLUNKETT APPOINTED
FARM HELP AGENT

Mr.. J. II. Plunkett, manager of the
Elko Music and Stationery Co. has
just accepted appointment as National
Farm Help Agent for Elko and the
surroundings country. Numerous signs
are being posted and other means
taken to direct all men looking for
work 10 Mr.. Plunkett. so that if there
are any men in town who are willing
to work, he will know of them and be
able to send them out TO the ranchers
who need them. Any farmer wanting
help should let Mr.. Plunkett know as
soon as possible how many men he
needs.
Constable George COtant has always
been very generous in doing every,
thing possible to help the ranchers
when they have been in need OF men
and he will help Mr.. Plunkett in get
ting hold OF men when requests for
them are sent in by the ranchers.
In giving his services as local farm
help agent Mr.. Plunkett is taking part
in a nation wide movement to aid the
farmers of the country in getting help
to produce the food which the United
States and her allies are so badly in
need of at the present time. The
United States department of agricul-
turc has sent a farm help specialist TO
each OF the states to take charge of
the work of helping the farmers get
the necessary men. The Nevada state
committee on food resources is CO.
operating actively with the farm help
specialist here.
In connection with the work in this
state agencies are being established
in all the principal farming centers
with the object of bringing the farmer
and the man looking for work together
as quickly as possible. Whenever an
actual shortage of help develops in
any section the local agent will send
word To the state farm help specialist
who will try to remedy the situation
| by getting men to go in from regions
where there may happen to be sur
plus.
II is Thought that this system will
aid materially in preventing any real
! shortage OF help developing in this
state, such as exists in some parts OF
the country.

torily. Contractor Armstrong is per

trying to locate this car which is In
transit, but so far has been unable To
do so. If II arrives within the next
few days as is hoped, brick work will

ol splendid good luck. In cNCavating
for the basement he encountered q
splendid bed of gravel which he is
utilizing for concrete work. II has
just the proper mixture of fine sand
and coarse gravel and he says it is
the best that he saw.
Up Ia the present time Mr Arm.
strong is ahead of his schedule time
on the work and unless something
unforeseen happens the building will
be completed withini the time limit.
Mr. Armstrong is zone Of the most
prominent contractors in the west and
he says that he win see to it that the

structed that it will add to his reputa,

Cassin S Gunner
Gave Life to Save
Ship and Mates
Ingram Threw Explosives Over
board as Torpedo APP
preached

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Osmond
Kelly Ingram, Of Pratt City, Ala, the
gunner's mate lost overheard when a
German submarine attacked the Ameri-
can destroyer Cassin in the war zone
on October IS, deliberately sacrificed
his own life to reduce the risk to his
messmates.
The Navy Departments announcement
refers to the exceptional presence Of
mind of the gunner's mate. and says:
"The department considers that In
gram sacrificed his life in performing
a duty which he believed would save hrs
ship and the lives of the officers and
men on board"
A detail report from Admiral Sims,
made public to-day, shows that Ingram,
standing aft on the destroyer, where
some high explosive depth charges were
stored. saw the torpedo coming. Instead
Of rushing forward to save his own life
b. getting away from the explosion,
Ingram stuck to the spot, throwing
overheard the high explosives. which he
knew would further endanger the lives
Of his fellows, IL they were detonated
by the explosion Of the torpedo. He
was the only man lost, being blown
overheard by the explosion.
The Cassin got in under her own
steam, and the gallantry Of her crew in
effecting temporary repairs, was COM
mended by Admiral Sims in a special
report.
