FALLON DEMONSTRATES HER
LOYALTY IN BIG PARADE
Registration Day Was Suitably OBJ
served by Outpouring of Citizens
in Spirit of Patriotism

Registration Day was celebrated
by Loyalty Parade yesterday after
noon, in which the citizens of the
entire county participated and dem
onstrated their devotion. to the Flag
and to the President.
All business was suspended during
the hours of the parade and Old
Glory was every where in evidence.
The day was an ideal one and the
sidewalks were thronged with in
terested spectators.
Promptly at l o'clock the parade
formed north of the courthouse and
wended its way through the princi-
pal streets. The procession was led
by Marshal Harry Robinson and was
headed by veterans of the Civil and
Spanish wars, followed in turn by
the band, fraternal oroers, and the
school children, from the tiny tots of
the Kindergarten to the students of
the high school, each under the
leadership of their teachers,
Women's organizations, Boy Scouts,
Knights of the Round Table, Fire
Department and long line of hand
somely decorated automobiles.
A feature of the parade was a
handsome float representing the Red
Cross, showing a tent with a patient
on a stretcher attended by a physi-
clan and uniformed nurses.
II was expected that Attorney s.
w. Belford would address the people
on the vacant square opposite the
courthouse at the conclusion of the
parade, but he failed to arrive and
Prof. ]. E. McKillop dismissed the
assemblage with a few extemporane-
Gus remarks.
Altogether it was a notable our
pouring of the people of Churchill
county and demonstrates that the
people of the community are solidly
behind the Nation and ready to do
their part in whatever capacity they
may be called.
The Churchill County Bank re-
manned open all day for the purpose
of receiving subscriptions to the
Liberty Bonds and at the close of
business announced that the total
amount subscribed was s6S,500. OF
this amount the Nevada Wonder Co.
subscribed $4,000 and the Bank
$4,000. The subscription of the
Wonder Mining Co. was announced
by a telegram to the bank from the
main Office in Philadelphia. This ac-
tion on the part of Churchill's lead
ing mining company will be greatly
appreciated by the people as it makes
1t possible for this county to more
easily raise its quota of the loan and
materially assists the state in its ef-
forts to raise the entire allotment of
S2.o00.000.

Langan at Carson last Saturday a
decision was rendered for the plain
tiff.
The case has attracted much in
terest,, inasmuch as the claim was
rejected in a deficiency bill introduc-

no question as to the justice of the
charge, since the Deputy Superin-
tendents are charged by the law with
certain duties which are mandatory.
In performing these duties they in

Churchill County High School
Farms and Arms

Seven boys who have been pupils
in the High School either this year
or last are at the front in training
schools for military service. One is
in the Coast Artillery, one has vol
unteered as a courier, and five are
in the provisional aviation school.
Two of the girls of this years classes
left school few weeks ago to keep
up gardens at home. Another girl
has responded to the call of the
country for stenographers. Eigh-
teen boys have temporarily aban-
doned their classes to go into gar
dens, and alfalfa and grain fields.
That makes the total human con-
tribution of the school to the crisis
so far reach twenty-eight individu-
ais. Two weeks ago, the largest
high school of the state, with about
four times as many pupils had con-
tributed twenty-five.

Chance for a Summer School

In view of the fact that the nation
al government has called for a humid
red thousand clerks and steno-
graphers and is totally unable to
supply the demand from the regular
sources, the High School has decided
to have a summer course of ten
weeks in shorthand, typing, and
business English, if ten can be found
who have already done some work
in those branches and are desirous
Of qualifying for Civil Service em-
ployment. The training would, OF
course, serve equally well for en-
ployment by any private firm or in
diyidual. Four have already ex-
pressed their desire for such a
course. A nominal tuition will be
charged for the sake of assuring the
administration of the school of the
good faith and seriousness of those
who enter for the course. Any one
who is interested or who knows of
any who might like to avail them
selves of the opportunity, should
communicate soon with Mr. Hough,
Clerk of the Board, or Mr.. McKil-
lop, Principal of the School, as ar
rangements must very soon be set
tied upon for an instructor and for
the necessary supplies.

GOOD PROGRESS FLOWING
Two Eight-hour Shifts Now Engaged
in Work and About 800 Acres
Now Plowed

Good progress is being made by
the Reclamation Service crew engag-
ed in leyeling the 1400 acre tract
south of the Grimes ranch.
The camp was established by Su-
perintendent Gibbs during the latter

now on good working basis. The
first few days were spent in testing
out the machinery and trying out
drivers. There were numerous ap-
plications for employment on this
work.

shifts are now being used. To date
between 250 and 800 acres have been
plowed, and during the present week
the work of leveling will commence.
1t Is planned for the day shift to
level and for the night shift to plow.
Survey parties have completed the
survey of the land and the results
of their work is now being mapped
preparatory to laying out the lateral
system and the leveling work in a
manner that will save as much work
as possible while at the same time
giving satisfactory results.
The construction of the laterals to
serve these lands will be undertaken
at an early date and it is und erstood
that the entire operation will be
pushed forward rapidly so as TO have
the land ready for seed as soon as
possible.
