ADVERTISING OF
LOAN PROBLEM
SECRETARY McADOO.- POINTS
OUT DIFFICULTY FACING
GOVERNMENT

Il am receiving numerous COM
m%unications as to the attitude of
the treasury department with res
pect to the campaign now in pro-
gress in the country to induce the
government to Engage in a policy
of paid advertising in connection
with future issues of the Liberty
Loan. 1t is necessary, therefore.
hat the position of the department
should be made clear.
''In the first Liberty Loan cam
paign the department did not pay
for any advertising space in news
papers, street cars, bill boards, or
other mediums. Some newspapers
voluntarily advertised the loan free
of cost to the government, as did
street cars, bill boards and other
advertising agencies. In addition,
many bankers, investment houses,
merchants and others, inspired by
the same public spirit, bought ad-
vertising space for which they had
contracted.
There seems to be an impress
sion hat the treasury department
in the first Liberty Loan campaign
applied for free advertising, or
paid for advertising in some papers
and not in others. That is entirely
erroneous. The treasury depart
ment did not ask newspaper pub
fishers for free advertising, because
l realize that the newspapers only
profitable commodity is advertis-
ing space and that there are many
papers that are not able to give free
advertising, especially in view of
the high cost of paper.
Newspapers and press associa-
tions Loyalty cO-operated with the
government in the first Liberty
Loan. News and editorial columns
were devoted most generously to
the issue. They carried it's mes
sage into every home in America
and deserve great praise for their
service of patriotism. The people
of the country want to know the
financial needs of the government

bonds. This is news.
This information was given to
them in the most comprehensive
form possible, and the newspapers
and press associations have the
satisfaction of knowing hat they
contributed UNNECESSARILY to the
success of the loan. Success could
not have been accomplished without
their aid and cooperation. | have
no doubt that the government will
have the same genuine support
from them in their news and edi-
torial columns in connection with
the second issue.
The question of paid advertis-
ing presents a serious problem for
the government. The value of such
advertising can not be doubted, and
if the operation could be governed
by the same considerations as those
which determine the action of a
private enterprise, it would be
much simplified. A private enter
prise may advertise in a selected
number of mediums most useful for
its purposes, and may control it's
expenditures for that purpose with
out any limitation except its Own
desires or ability to pay.
eff the government engages in
such a campaign it must advertise
in every newspaper and periodical
in America without discrimination.
All must have equal tratment, and
should have equal treatment. The

DRAFT RULES
!. ARE Again
: CHANGED
GOVERNOR RESCINDS ACTION
MAKING WEDNESDAY, HOLI-
DAY IN STATE

Again the government has chang
ed draft plans and Governor Boyle
has issued a proclamation annull-
ing his former one making Sept. 5
a legal holiday.
by the local draft board on Sunday,
three men will be sent from here
to the appointed mobilization CEN
ter on Sept. Z, instead of on Sept.
5.
The selection of men to be sent
has been left to local boards, with
instructions that they are to be
sent according to their fitness, pre-
ference being given to men who are
cooks or who have had previous
military experience. These men will
provide a skeleton organization to
assist in receiving and assimilating
the large contingencies to follow.
In this state exemption boards
are still at work in Humboldt, Lin
coin, Eureka, Lander and White
pine counties and a date for send
ing contingents from these counties
has not yet been fixed. The Was
third call, to be for 800 or more
men, to complete the quota.
The number of men to be sent
from the other counties and the
dates on which they will leave are
as follows: Washoe, II, Sept. 5;
Churchill. 3, Sept. 6; Douglas, 2,
Sept. 6; Lyon, 6, Sept. 6; Ormsby,
2, Sept. g.; Storey, 2, Sept. 6; Es-
meralda, 3, Sept. Z; Mineral, 2,
Sept. Z; Nye, g., Sept. Z; Elko. 10,
Sept. s; Clark, 5, Sept. 8. In no
county but Washoe will a contin-
gent leave on the date originally
fixed and this, with the reduction
in size of the cOntingents from 80
per cent, the number fixed when
the proclamation was issued has
caused the second proclamation to
be issued by the governor.
The local exemption board is in
session this Afternoon to choose the
three men who will leave on Sept.
7 and is also considering a reversal
of it's former decision in a case
exemption was granted.
Bob Dobro returned last night
yrom a trip to Los Angeles. Dobro
is the only cook among he first
80 men accepted. Before leaving
for Los Angeles he sold his bust
ness here and is ready to leave.
In accordance with the COVER
nor's later proclamation, resembling
the former one, all Goldfield bust
ness houses will remain open on
Sept. 5.
The proclamation issued by the
governor follows:
Whereas, by proclamation issued
by me Aug. 81, 1917, / appointed
and designated Wednesday, Sept. 5,
1917, as a legal holiday in Observ-
ance of the proposed departure of a
considerable fraction of the states
quota for actual service in the ma
tional army, and
Whereas, the military authority
which requested this observance has
since reduced this movement of pros
p~ective troops to a minimum, and
thus has changed materially the
character Of the day, now,
Therefore. I, Emmett d. Boyle,
governor of the state of Nevada,
by authority in me vested, do hereby
recall said appointment, designation
and proclamation of such holiday to
the end that it shall be of no effect,
null and void. Suitable observance
and recognition of behalf of those
who shall have departed on Sept. 5,
as well as of all called to service,
will be requested at a later date.

government must be thoroughly
democratic and impartial in a mat
ter of this sort. To make the ad-
vertising thorough and effective it
should be done on a broad and lib
eral scale.
THE cost Of such an undertak
ing would be very great and would
exceed the appropriation which the
congress has thus far made avail
able for the sale of Liberty bonds.
The question is, however, being
carefully considered by the depart
ment, but obviously a final decision
can not be reached until more light
has been received as to the cost of
an effective advertising campaign,
and until it has been decided what
appropriations will be made avail
able by the congress for future is

Timely Letter From Greenville. Ala. Farmer. Well Worth Reading.

Help raise more? We'll you can count on me-" says MT. B. Tip Me Queen of Greenville, Ala, land I am grateful to be able to help too.
 Not so very long ago I couldn't have helped because I couldn't even help myself. It's we'll to "be an American but it's better to be a we'll American and I now know how to appreciate good health as never be- fore.
 Indigestion nearly finished me. I fought with it for three years, tried doctors and remedies until I was dis outraged and finally gave up hope.
 Any one who has suffered with in- digestion can realize my delight when within four days after starting on my first bottle of Sulferro-Sol I felt ac tual, sure relief"
 "Sulferro-Sol was the first and only thing that helped me and finally brought me health. This remedy is direct product of Nature and goes straight to the sick place and heals it.
 "l heartily recommend Suiferro-Sol to every one who suffers with any stomach trouble; I feel that it will help them as it did me-"
 Sulferro-Sol is sold and recom- mended by the Hesterly Drug Store. They will gladly tell you of it's great healing and building powers.

noWN WITH THE FOOD HOG

wo nrate loudly of our patriotism and our duty to the flag; we call srsterically upon the farmer to speed no production of food crops; we even sa;ge our spade and hoe and attack tho back yard in our efforts to add to tho sum total of production. All of which is good-very good.
 Rut one highly important feature of the problem before us must not es- cane our attention.
 The food hog must be penned.
 Anv sane man knows that large mar cent of the really extortionate nrices of today are not the result of an alarming scarcity. They are the result of an insatiate greed for gain that takes no account of the dictates of common humanity.
 And this greed is not confined to tbe wicked trusts. They are bad onouph. we all know, and there is no excuse to be made for them. But many men in more humble positions are equally avaricious.
 Merchants who buy on rising market and hoard their purchases until the price suits them before turn ing loose; the farmer who holds his corn for $2 while his neighbors clam or in vain to buy it at the market price-both are equally guilty.
 We have heretofore asserted that high prices are an epidemic. They get started on the upward slant, and every fellow who has a surplus at once locks his doors and holds for a killing.
 And right now they are making a kiling-they are killing their coun- try.
 The man who has a commodity for sale, but refuses to sell at market prices, is menace to his country in this emergency and should be severely dealt with. If the law can not reach him, there is yet public opinion, by which he should be pilloried.

AUSTRIAN LINES ARE
 BROKEN BY ITALIANS
5000 Prisoners Taken in Attack Over Broad FrOnt-TOwn of Jamiano and Firtified Heights Are Taken.

Rome, May "A, via London-Italian forces yesterday broke through the Austro-Hungarian lines from Castag- navizza to the sea, taking more than 5000 prisoners, says an official state ment issued today by the Italian war | department.
 The Italian war office announced that Italian forces had occupied part of the area south of the Castagnaviz- za-Boscomalo road, had passed Bos- comalo and had captured the town of Jamiano and strong heights east of Pietrarossa and Bagni.
 The Italian official statement said that the Austro- -Hungarians were at first surprised and nonplussed. To- wards evening they launched counter attacks, but were repulsed.
 Italian airplanes numbering 13O dropped ten tons of bombs on the Austro- Hungarians.
 The British batteries co-operated with the Italians.
 The announcement follows:
 "On the Carso yesterday after ten hours of violent bombardment the gallant troops of the third army as- saulted and broke through the we'll organized lines of the enemy from CastagnaviZZa to the sea. While we were heavily engaged on our left our troops, after carrying enemy trenches in the center and on the right, occu- pied part of the area south of the Castagnavizza- Boscomalo road, pass ed Boscomalo and captured Jamiano, the important and strongly fortified heights of Hill 92, one kilometer east of Pistrarossa; Hill 77, Hill 5s, Bagni and Hill 21.
 "The enemy was at first surprised and nonplussed by the sudden on- slaught, but towards evening he coun- ter-attacked in force, supported by exceptionally heavy bombardment. He was repulsed with severe loss.
 During the day we captured more than 5000 prisoners, including more than 300 officers.
 Aerial squadrons consisting of 130 machines, including a group of navy seaplanes, dropped ten tons of bombs on the enemy's lines and brought their machine guns to bear on masses of the enemy. Our air men all returned safely.
 "Ten British batteries which oper- ated on our front as evidence of the brotherly cooperation of the nations, made a large contribution to the ar tillery preparation. Our naval guns also proved very effective.

UNCLE SAM AS A DICTATOR

The United States, drawn into the great war against its will, may be- come the virtual dictator of the world before the war is over. Realizing that they are dependent upon the United States to feed them as we'll as to furnish the money and men needed to win the war, the allies will undoubtedly defer greatly to the judgment of the American president in all matters of great importance. But America will drive no unfair bar gain. The Stars and Stripes will float to the breeze on the crimson fields of France, but justice and hu- manity will march beneath it's folds.
