Miss Archer, sang BLOW, Breezes,

voices and sweet faces were pleasant,

Speaking for the civic department
of the Yerington Woman's Club, Mrs.
Mabel Plummer hoped that nothing
will be left undone to care properly
for our army No matter what it
must be supplied, and the necessities
must be provided. In continuing the
| topic Mrs. Knox emphasiz the point
| that conservation is the woman's
share, and that it is the duty of the
oganized women to stand for it, and
to impress it upon the community as

! Wilson, president OF the Lyon County
Board of Education, to speak on
Higher Education " for the Woman's
club OF Yerington. She gave history
OF manual training in our high school
and announced that the Board is en-
deavoring to make all the work more
practical.
A dialect recitation, initiating an
Italian just mastering the mysteries
OF our politics was rendered by Mrs.
Hanson. 1t was very funny, and the
local color she added made it more SO.
The Red Cross was the topic re-
served for the Mason Woman's Club.
Mrs P. H. Cook warmed the whole
audience with her splendid enthusi-
ISM. She did not minimize the work
of those in active service, but men
toned the ways that those who cannot
90 to the front may help our nation
to victory. The supplies and money
for the Red Cross are our urgent
| ffair right now. We must give gen
arously, even to the point of sacri-
ice, that those who fight the battles
nay be we'll cared for. Our country
has right to expect true service with

Miss Whitman, temporary chairman
# the Lyon County Chapter of the
Red Cross, reports that all parts of
the county are enthusiastic. She an
swered the questions of those present
md urged all to join if they had no
time to work, as funds are greatly

The literary exercises closed with
the chorus, Nevada" The ladies had
provided dainty luncheon for the sew
enty guests. The banquet room was
elaborately decorated with streamers
and flags. and the tables were. beau-
tilted with red roses and asparagus

and in each plate of red, white and
blue ice cream stood tiny "Old
Glory" After a salute to the flag,
the guests were regaled with chicken
salad, ripe olives, pickles, rolls and
coffee Delicious cakes were served
with the ice cream The toasts
we're all witty, and added just the right
touch to this wonderful day. The
,nly disappointment was the absence
of the Fernley ladies, which was un-
avoidable on account OF the conditiaon
Of the roads.
