PNEUMATIC TIRES ON
MANY AUTO TRUCKS
Thousands of Owners Find
New Equipment Saves Time

Thousands Of truck owners are adopt
ing pneumatic tires this year. The ad-
yantages Of pneumatic truck tires in
many lines Of service has been proved
thoroughly. The country has been hay-
ing an agitation in regard to the effect
Of heavy trucks on interurban pave
ments. The contention OF tire manu-
facturers that pneumatic tire equipment
saves both the truck and the road, per-
mits better time, and does not modify
the size of the load, has led to q lot Of
investigation.
/ Naturally. at first encounter truck
owners have been somewhat awed by
the size Of the cord pneumatics;
which range from 4Sxs downward.

for tire changes in case OF accident, the

Hinman rode the entire distance as
observer. -Four or more people were
carried at all times In the car, which
started at 1915 Wednesday noon, and
completed It's trip the next day at
1915.
The records show that the car used
very little oil. The water consump-
ton was but 2.5 pints, and disproved
the assertion that test of this kind
is hard on the cooling system. At the
close Of the test the car was acceler-

Civil Service Rules as to Hours of
Work and Rate of Pay

Postmaster G. w. Likes has re-
eeived adyices to the effect that on
July 1st the Fallon post office will
take rank as a second class office.
Postoffices ars elassed according
to stamp sales and as Fallon has now
passed the $4,000 mark required
masses from the third to the second
class. The local clerks will now au-
tomatically pass under the provisions
of civil service law and receive
salary of $500 per annum for the
first year of service with an addition
al 500 per year until the third
year. The raise in the office class
likewise makes a small additional in
crease in the salary of the postmast-
or. The office is now entitled to two
regular clerks with an auxiliary
clerk TO take care of extra pressure
of business. Under the law postal
clerks may not work more than eight
hours in ten hour day and all Sun
day work must be compensated for
by an equal number of hours lay off
some day of the following week. The
rules in this respect are mandatory
and however much 1t may discom-
mode the public or the work Of the
office must be complied with strictly

DRAFT BILL BECOMES LAW
REGISTRATION DAY, JUNE 5
Everything in Readiness for Gigan-
tic Task of Registering 10000
900 Men in Single Day

Sheriff Mark Wildes has received
from the war department the neces-
sary cards and registration certiil-
Gates to comply with the provisions
of the selective draft conscription
and registration on Tuesday, June
5th, 1917. the date set by the Pre-
sident in his proclamation to the
Nation.
Last Monday Sheriff Wildes set
about appointing registration clerks
in the various voting precincts in the
county The law contemplates that
whole system shall be performed by
volunteer labor and the gigantic task
of registering and card indexing TO-
000,0 citizens of the United States
who will come under first call will
be completed in one day. 1t is to
be hoped that every person between
the ages of 21 and 81 years of age
will present themselves promptly at
their usual voting places at as early
an hour as possible in order to ex-
pedite the work as rapidly as pos
sible.
The first call for troops will be
for 100000 men, to be followed lat
er by additional calls as may be
found necessary. Under the provi-
sion of the law Nevada will be call
ed upon to furnish an aggregate of
16,500 men. The present registration
has to do solely with the mobiliza-
tion of the Nations fighting forces
and will take no account of disabili-
ties or branches of the service of
those registered. At present it is not
believed that the first call will be
made before September 1st.
This number of men between the
ages of 81 and 80, inclusive, re-
presents nearly 10 per cent of the
total estimated population of be-
tween 100000 and 100000 on July
l, 1917.
Certain of speedy action by con-
gress. the war department began the
distribution of 100000 registra-
tion blanks through which all males
of the nation between the ages of 81
and 81 will be card indexed. These
blanks will be sent to sheriffs and
mayors of hundreds of communities.
The cards contain blanks for ~
questions-every detail the govern
ment wishes to know about its poten-
tial soldiers-and a query whether
exemption is claimed
