which this war has brought to the
women of America. Unless the wo-
men respond by saving wheat. meat
and sugar, to ship to our soldiers in
France. we will lose in this war, for
men fight on well fed stomachs.
Starved soldiers and we'll fed civilians
is not an American principle. Wo-
mans responsibility Is absolutely as
important as the soldiers in the
trenches.
After Mrs. Watzek's talk. the Club
was highly entertained by Mrs. Mar
tin Kjer, who sang the new patriotic
song, keep The Home Fires Burn
ing" The Club Joined her in sing
ing the chorus.

ready for women to take home and
sew. Garments must be ready to
ship by December first. Anyone
who will help can get information

ported that the Story Hour for child.

c. A. class in real estate Friday
evening. Following are excerpts
from his address:
Il firmly believe that there has
been more progress made during the
past few years in the elimination OF
fraud and dishonesty in all branches
OF business than during any pre-
vous period in the history OF the
country.
"The national Association OF Real
Estate Boards AT meeting two
years ago adopted a code OF ethics
which has since been adopted by
the real estate boards In niure than
SO OF the larger cities OF which DE.
troit is one. In the country. There
are few cities in this country
where the practice OF the real es-
tate business In not under the re.
strictions OF recognized code OF

Seven automobiles belonging TO the

they arrived at Elko at ten o'clock
today. After the late arrivals had

eleven o'clock the eastern journey

out of Elko and as far as Deeth. From
there others will pilot them to the

All the members of the party are
enthusiastic boosters for the Overland

far better than they expected to find
