NEVADA SSOO,OOO
SHY in BOND SALE

This morning Campaign Manager
Langwith went to Golconda to can
vass that place for Liberty Bond sub
scriptions, and next Thursday he and
t. j. ID. Salter will go to Paradise Val
ley, where a meeting will be held
The middle of the week b. ]. Loina7
and Y. Arrascada of the committee
will tour the lower end of Quinn River
valley and go to DEMO and canvass
those sections for subscriptions.
The Farmers and Merchants bank
of Reno has subscribed 100000
toward Nevada's quota; the Nevada
Fire Insurance Company $4,000, and
the Rescue Eula Mining Company OF
Tonopah $4,000. A subscription OF
$4,000 has been reported from Senator
Key Pittman at Washington.
The Russell Land & Cattle Company
of Elko has purchased $4,000 worth
of Liberty Bonds.
The Southern Pacific Company has
credited s250,000 of its $4,000, 900 Lib
erty Loan subscription to Nevada. The
company will also credit the amounts
subscribed by its employees along the
lines in this State. The quarter of a
million thus credited to this State by
the Southern Pacific Company assists
materially in securing Nevada's allot-
ment, which, in actual figures, is 81
S68,S59. Over half this amount has
been already subscribed.
The following message was received
yesterday morning by j. A. Langwith,
campaign manager of the local Lib
erty Loan committee:
Reno. New, Oct %, 1917.
81. A. Langwith, Winnemucca, New. !:
Best figures available here indicate that
to make minimum for Nevada the
State must subscribe 100000 between
now and Saturday, this sum exclusive
of Reno and Tonopah and large cor
porations, which means it must come
largely from small subscriptions. It
is suggested that you get committee
together Immediately and discuss
plans to get every subscription pos
sible in your district and surrounding
country by personal canvass. if you
have not already planned some heroic
effort along this line
al. { A. LENNON,
Campaign Manager"
Every citizen is expected to organ
ize himself or herself into a commit
tee of one to assist in this time of the
country's need.

BONFIRE TONIGHT
SPEECHES, MUSIC

AT o'clock tonight Winnemucca
Will join the other cities of the u. s.
in kindling bonfire which is the sig
nal for the opening of the great drive
for the second Liberty Loan. This
ceremony will take place at the inter-
section of Bridge and Third streets.
An address by Judge McFadden of
Ely, music by the Winnemucca band
and freight serpentine are some of
the features of the evening. The bon
fire celebration tonight is only fore
runner of. the demonstration Winnie
mucca will make tomorrow. The time
has been too short to arrange for any
thing more elaborate than a citizens
parade. Let everyone do his bit in
this affair and let patriotic fervor
make up for lack of preparation. The
parade will form at 1870 tomorrow
afternoon in front of the grammar
school on Lay street. The line of
march is from Lay street along Rail-
road street to bridge and down Bridge
as far as the bridge. The high school
cadets form part OF the procession
and will later give an exhibition drill
The Boy Scouts have a place in the
parade and will as always do their
part well. Every auto owner is asked
to decorate his car with flags, bunt-
ing or Liberty Loan banners and get
in the line of march. Those who
haven't machines are asked to help
make the parade a grand event by
marching. After the parade is over
Judge Norcross of Carson and Mayor
Friedman of Lovelock will address
the people on the value of Liberty
Bonds and other important questions
before us today.
All who can will have an oppor-
tunity to buy bonds during the after
noon at the tables on the streets.
Those in charge of these tables will
be Misses Jessie Diamond, Genevieve
Lying, Beatrice and Eleanor Lang
with, Dora Giroux, Mrs. Vivian Pike,
Mrs. Norma Stevens and Mrs. James

BLUFBIRD PH0TOPLAY AT
PICTURE THEATRE TONIGHT

How a girl. raised as a boy by her
stubborn father, made life merry for
q school filled with girls, and conse-
suently miserable for the spinsters
Who ran the institution, will be dis
played in graphic scenes when THE
Boy Girl" a Bluebird photoplay, is
exhibited at the American theatre this
evening with Violet Mersereau playing
the star part. Miss Mersereau was
educated in one of the most exclusive
female institutions in the East and
knew how to reproduce upon the
screen some of the pranks that mere
man may only imagine in his crude
brain. This boarding school" episode
in "The Boy Girl" is only one of nu-
merous interesting and edifying
scenes in an altogether interesting
photoplay. Love, adventure, intrigue
excitement and villainy all conspire to
form a screen decoction that is sure
to treat the eyes of the fans" who
know that good things are always to
be expected of Bluebirds-and never
a disappointment.

BOYS FOOT BADLY TORN
BY 3O-4O H!GH-POWfR GUN

Fred Silve, a schoolboy, while out
hunting Sunday afternoon, was acci-
dentally shot in the right foot by one
of his comrades. He was with Thel-
bert Lewis and Herbert Breier, also
schoolboys, and they were at the
Western Pacific bridge just above
town when the accident occurred
From what the boys say, young Breier
had left his rifle leaning against some
brush and when he reached for it the
weapon was discharged, the bullet
entering the side of young Silve's
right foot near the toes. The rifle was
32-40 high-power carrying steel
jacket soft-nose bullet and badly
mashed the bones of all his toes ex-
cept the big toe, and the side of his
foot is badly mangled. The other two
boys, instead of leaving him there. al
once picked the wounded boy up and
carried him to town. H els now be-
ing cared for by DR.. Hall, who is do
ing everything possible to try and
save the mangled toes and the part
of the foot injured by the bullet
This morning DR.. Hall reports the
patient resting well and there is every
hope of the foot being saved. Two
photographs of his foot were taken
yesterday, showing clearly the broken
bones, damaged ligaments and crushed
flesh and muscles.

FARMERS SHOULD
HELP THE SOLDIERS


1t is every citizens duty to pur.
chase Liberty Bond if he is in a posi-
ton to do so. Every patriot will re-
gard it as a privilege to participate in
the Liberty Loan. He will thereby
contribute directly and effectively to
the successful prosecution of the war
which Germany has forced upon us
The Nations task is a serious one. Ii
Intimately touches each of us. 1t faces
you and me. If we do not win this
war, we must prepare ourselves for
grave changes in our institutions and
TO lead a different sort of life from
that which we had planned to live
from that which our forefathers died
to give us the right to live We shall
indefinitely face the interference of
the Prussian autocracy or bear per-
manently the intolerable burdens of
miiitarism. To win this war we must
have both men and money. l know
that every farmer wants to do all in
his power for the Nation in this day
of trial. He will not only labor 10
produce the necessary foodstuffs, but
will also generously contribute OF his
means to make it possible for the men
at the front to achieve victory. ! am
confident that the farmers of the land
will not permit any other class TO
take the leadership in supporting the
Government in this crisis, financially
or otherwise.
We are at war with Germany be-
cause Germany made war upon us,
sank our ships, killed our citizens.
and plotted against us while profess
ing friendship. We were patient till
offenses became so fragrant and in
suits so intolerable that ii was merely
question whether we would admit
that we were no longer free Nation
or accept the challenge of the war
mad, hypocritical ana medieval Prus
sian militarists. There was one choice
we could not make-we were ineap
able of making We could not choose
the path of submission and suffer the
most sacred rights of our Nation Ind
our people to be ignored and VIOLATED"
We are defending our rights as
free Nation. We are resolved that
there shall be an end of brute fore
in international affairs. What Get
many's victory would mean to tn
world is plain. There would be NJ
right except might, no peace save a
the price of humiliations too bittei
to be borne. Small nations could no
exist There would be no sanctity ID
a pledge, no solemnity to a covenant,
With the dominance of Prussian mili-
tarism, the Anglo-Saxon struggle for
free institutions and liberty, persisting
from Runnymede to Yorktown, with
its Magma Charta. its Bill of Rights,
and its Declaration of Independence,
will have been in vain. 1t is TO pre-
vent this, to defend our rights, and
to make possible an orderly and just
peace in the world, that we are at
war. The Nation calls on its citizens
for high and noble service. On some
il calls for service in the field; on
others for service at home; on all, IT
calls for financial support. | am con
fident that the farmers of the NatDn
will eagerly respond to the call br
subscriptions to the Liberty Loan.

We don't have much sympathy
with the movement of those who
would prod up the farmers Ito
do their best to raise more stuff
to win the war" It's our idea
that Congress is the animal that
needs prodding. There has

months of dawdling, with Mr..
Millions Income and MIR. Foods
Gambler still running at large.
The farmer has always done his
