HELP TO MAKE STATE FAIR
A FOOD TRAINING CAMP

A movement is on foot backed by
the government to make the State
Fairs of the Nation food training
camps At a recent reception for
fair managers at Washington, Presi-
dent Wilson urged the Importance of
making food training camps of our
state fairs and in California and sew
eral other states some of the mem
bers of the faculty of the state uni
versity have been appointed to take
this matter in hand.
The Legislature in lending its aid
in the promotion of our State Fair
at Fallon felt that they were pro-
noting the best interests of the State
of Nevada in particular and the
whole Pacific Coast in general and
the people of Fallon and the Truck
ee-Carson project should feel favor
ed in having this exhibit of Nevada's
products exhibited in their midst.
The new exhibit building is we'll
under way, contractors Hammond
and Robinson very ably demonstrate
their ability and experience in the
manner they have crowded this
work. The building will be COM
pleted the first week in September
and the interior arranged and every
thing ready for exhibits by Septem-
Der 18th.
The premium books will be re-
ceived from the State Printer within
the next few days and will be mailed
out to previous exhibitors. If you
have not heretofore patronized your
own State Fair and are interested
and desire to be loyal to this cause
a card to the Secretary will bring
the list to you. II you don't get
your copy of the list write the Sec
retary.

FEDERAL FARM LOAN BOARD
DISMISSES PRESIDENT WHITE.
At Same Time Accepts designations
of Douglass, Mead and Thomas.
Compliments Douglass.

The controversy in the Berkeley
Farm Loan Bank was settled yester-
day by the summary dismissal of
President Burrell G. White and the
acceptance of the designations of
Directors r. l.. Douglass, DIR. Elwood
Mead and DR.. George Thomas. Vice
President Douglass yesterday re-
ceived the following telegram from
Washington which gives the gist of
the findings of the recent investiga-
ton held in San Francisco by Judge
Lobdell:
Washington. Aug. IA. 1917.
r. l.. Douglass. Fallon, Nevada.
Federal Farm Loan Board has to-
day accepted resignation of yourself
and Directors White and Thomas,
having previously accepted that of
DR.. Mead AS to the Bank, the
Board finds THE Bank is in a per-
fectly sound condition and its ac-
counts correct. Its loans seem to
have been made with fair discrimi-
nation and upon a safe basis. Its
was more rapid than several others
and up to the average of the twelve. !"
As to yourself, finding is: Mr.. Doug
lass is found to have been honest
and efficient and the innuendOs to the
effect that he was seeking to unload
his own property on the bank or to
have unsafe loans made are found
to have been wholly without founda-
tion in fact" and makes no adverse
criticism. Action based on belief
that personal feeling has reached the
stage which renders impossible that
degree of harmonious action which
is regarded as indispensable to prop
er public service by the bank and
that discrimination is impracticable.
Detailed findings given the press and
being mailed you. This action TAX
en- with great reluctance and deep
regret and without any diminution
of the high personal regard in whi6l
you are held by each member of the
Board Acceptance effective 18th

ONE MORE JOINS COLORS
WHORTON LEAVES FOR CAMP

Another of our young men testi-
fed to his love of country in the en-
listment of George Whorton we'll
known TO the younger set. George
has been identified with the two To-
cal weeklies for several months,
coming here from his home in Reno.
None who we're present at the sta
ton Sunday when the young man
took the train for the camp at San
Francisco can charge the young lad
les of Fallon with lack of readiness
to do their Bit" They were there
in force to bid God speed to this ad-
dition to our already long list of pa
triotic young men. And this may be
said in truth that group of prettier
young ladies than were there as
sembled 1t would be difficult to find
in any community. 1t was no doubt
pleasing memory George carried
with him that of these friendly faces
that bade. him a safe return. The
parting scene between George and
Ben Moyle was unusually affecting
and impressed those present with the
sense of loss felt by each in the
separation. Fallon certainly has just
reason to be proud of its record thus
far in the response to the call for
volunteers.

MEXICAN PEoNs QUIT WORK;
DON'T WANT TO BE DRAFTED

Evidently the Mexican section men
don't like their Uncle Sammy" for
a few days ago on the Western Pa
cific, when. Roadmaster Connolly
asked them to sign a certain paper
pertaining to conscription, they not
only refused to sign the paper but
large number of them quit their jobs,
stating that they were going back to
Mexico, as they didn't want to be
drafted into the United States army.
These Mexican poems are a nom
descript bunch and when in town
give the officers a whole lot of
trouble, for the most of them are
hard drinkers and quarrelsome. A
number of them are now on the
chaingang doing their "bit" to rid
Winnemucca streets of weeds.

Railroads Making Good

The railroads ARE making good
in the test imposed upon them by
the Governments mobilization plans.
Within thirty days from the date
that the Government placed its first
orders for cantonment materials the
railroads have delivered more than
$4,000 carloads of lumber and other
building supplies to the 16 canto-
ments that are to house the first di-
vision of draft men called to the
colors. Additional trains loaded to
capacity with all material needed to
construct cities capable of housing
1000 inhabitants are arriving daily
1t is estimated that 104,00 cars will
be required to haul supplies to the
16 army cantoments and 16 National
Guard Camps.

James l.. Wightman, Charles Clifford
George G. Miller, have still to be
acted upon, their time for claiming
exemption and filing affidayits not
having expired and hence not acted
upon by the board.
AS a net result of the work so far
done eleven names have been secured
of those who have passed the physi-
cal examination and will be certified
up to the State district board. where
they may file claims for exemption
upon industrial grounds. They are
as follows:
Louis Feldman, Alexander Silva,
Howard II. Hanna. Melville F. Chap
man, William d. Landess, George
Dalton, Thomas w. Byer, Sibley j.
Grubb, Leonard O'Doane, White
Feather, Joseph N. Winn.
This leaves twenty-eight more to
be secured either from the list not
yet acted upon or from an addition
al list of fifty names that will be
posted within the next day or two.
As in other sections of the country
the large number of exemptions
claimed for dependency is causing
the local board deep concern. Whilst
these claims are being closely scan
ned and evidence weighed, it is ap-
parent that the large number of en-
iistments from the county for which
no credit has been given has about
depleted this section of available
men. This fact taken in eonjunc-
tion with the over estimate of the
native population and the large pro-
portion of exempt aliens may make
il necessary to make additional calls
before the full quota is secured for
the first draft.
Some of our community will re-
call Ben H. Burton nephew of A. C..
Burton, who during a vacation term
a couple of years ago assisted in his
uncle's store Ben is in France with
an ambulance corps, and a Golusa
paper recently published a letter re-
ceived from the young soldier which
in a most entertaining manner gave
an account of the service they are
called upon to perform. This in
part consists in carrying ammunition
to the front which often brings
them in close range to the firing
lines. The letter also gives a graph
ic story of a battle in mid air be-
tween two aeroplanes which Ben
witnessed, but in spite of all the
horrors of war the young man as
serts that he is contented with his
new life.
One OF those sociable public dane
es for which the district is noted
will be held in the Harmon district
school next Saturday evening to
which a general invitation is ex-
tended. Clyde Jewett will furnish
the music which is sufficient guaran
tee of its excellence.

The tedium of busy day was re-

years and there was no doubt of the
genuineness of his expressions of
surprise at the improvements in Fal-
lon since the time when he was the
leading booster" of this section. In
company with Mr.. Emerson were
Mayor Elmer Hanson of Yerington
and Geo. West who were called here
on business. The party left for

regulations now going out to district
exemption boards.
Men needed in the fields to COM
plete harvesting will be permitted to
remain at work until the need for
them passes when they will join the
colors.
Local boards, because of their
knowledge of crop condition, will de-
termine what men are necessary
