KING OF DENMARK

Peter Anker. pioneer rancher of

state assemblyman and ex-county COM
missioner. Monday received personal
message from the king of Denmark,
comforting on him the order of knight

Danish monarch.
The order carries with IL a medal,
equivalent in point of honor, to that
of the Victoria Cross. and is only con.
ferred at rare intervals outside the
Danish citizenry.
Anker, who is an American citizen,
was at one time high in the consular
service Of Denmark. and for many
years has been the Nevada represen-
tative- of the Danish consulate, work
ing through the San Francisco head
quarters.
The medal was accompanied by the
personal greeting from the Danish

LABOR SHORTAGE IN
STATE is FEARED

The shortage OF labor will be one
OF the most serious problems that the
farmer. stockraiser and sheepman OF
Nevada has to face this year, accord
ing to prominent stockmen and
ranchers. Through the efforts of the
committee recently appointed by Gov.
Boyle TO make survey of the crop
situation in Nevada this year II is
expected that this labor problem will
be solved In part but the cry for more
laborers is now being heard in many
parts of the state and II promises to
become greater as the season pro-
crosses.
"One Of the great needs OF this
state during the coming season will
be more laborers," said ii. G.. Hum
phrey OF the Union Land & Cattle
company today. in order to place
part OF our lands under cultivation
we have just concluded the purchase
OF three large tractors to take the
place OF men and teams and 1t will
be necessary to use all the labor saw
ing devices possible to harvest the
crops this fall. owing to the shortage
OF men.
Encouragement OF the young
men, especially those under ago. to
remain at home and work on the
farm and ranges is one OF the main
things for the government to do now
I believe. The enlistment in the
army should OF course be encouraged
but the boys and older men can dc
their share in aiding the country faI
better by remaining at home.
Increasing production In this
country Is. one of the great points
that must be considered II this coun
try expects to carry on a successful
war. In order to increase the pro
duction the producer in all line
whether 1t Is farming. chicken raising
cattle raising, or sheep raising, mus
be encouraged and assisted"
