To Peanut Growers:
DO YOU EXPECT TO SAVE
YOUR PEANUTS THIS YEAR2
This may sound like one Of Gold
berg's foolish questions, but there
is reason for it,
Tn recent conversation with
some agricultural authorities, the
fact that the total acreage planted
in peanuts in Georgia and ALBANIA
this year amounted to 683. 600, more
than 200 per cent increase over last
year, was mentioned, and at once
the fear was expressed that there
may be heavy loss Of peanuts this
year due to careless harvesting and
stacking. AS all were agreed that
there was a serious possibility OF
such loss, q copy Of this letter
has been sent to peanut growers in
Central of Georgia territory, in the
hope that calling attention to the
matter may prevent some loss.
You may recall, | think, that at
peanut harvesting time last year
the weather was ideal, and peanuts
cured almost perfectly no matter
how they were handled. It was
felt that as a result Of their experi-
ence last year, peanut growers
might be tempted to take chances
this year which would result in a
heavy loss, for we have no right to
expect such perfect weather at pea
nut harvesting time this year.
1t will, therefore, be wise for
every peanut grower in this section
to prepare 70 carefully stack his pea
nuts this year.
The same thing applies in large
measure to the cowpea hay crop.
Respectfully,
]. f. JACKSON,
Agricultural Agent.

TICK FEVER COSTS
COLQUlTT $4,000

Moultrie, July 20.-Tick fever,
has resulted in the death Of ten
thousand dollars worth Of mich
cows in Colquitt County since the
FIRST Of August last year, according
to statement given out today by
County Agent V. L. Collier. Mr..
Golfers statement is based on actu-
al figures made from reports toshim
by cattle owners and is accurate as
far as it goes, but it does not cover
the entire losses from tick fever in
the county during the time mem
toned, as many losers, Of course,
made no reports.
The launching of creamery here
resulted in many fine milk COWS be-
ing shipped in. Some Of the own
ers did not dip the animals and
they fell easy victims TO the cattle
tick.

TO FIGHT THE TICK

The heavy losses have resulted in
many farmers getting behind
movement to free the county OF
ticks. A mass meeting to discuss
tick eradication has been advertised
for Saturday. Several prominent
speakers, including DIR. Peter f.
Bahnsen, j. j. Brown Commission
er Of Agriculture, and A. X. SEES
SONS, president of the Georgia Land
owners Association, are on the
program.
A campaign to free Colquitt Of
ticks was launched in the early part
of 1915, but after it progressed for
several months and reached the
stage which required enforced dip
ping of cattle, violent opposition to
it broke out. Several watts were
dynamited IN this county and the
lives Of the inspectors in charge Of
the work were threatened aid final
ly a big mass meeting called by
the anti-dippers" was held here
and it drew nearly a thousand peo-
Pile. Several of the speakers called
upon their hearers to die rather
than have their rights trampled
on, " and because of the bitter feel
ing that the meeting aroused the
authorities called the fight off.

CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
MARKING LINCOLN HIGHWAY

j. B. Prendergast and c. W. Bur-
ton representing the California Auto
mobile Association arrived in Fallon
Monday. They are engaged in post
ing signs along the route of Lincoln
Highway working from from Reno
and will continue as far east as Salt
Lake City.
The signs are of an attractive
baked enamel on thirteen foot post.
These markers are placed at inter
secting roads and at all points where
there may be danger of tourists be-
coming confused as to right direc-
tion. They will also prevent the di-
version of travel to the Southern
California route.
There is to be formed in this
state in the immediate future a
branch of the California Automobile
Association which will prove of un-
told benefit to motorists. The Cali
fornia Association has been the
means of securing for motorists a
more intelligent care of roads, urg-
ing legislative appropriations for i'm
provement of Highways and in in
Vulnerable ways making itself indis-
pensable to the motorist.
C. w Burton in charge of the
road sign posting crew directs spec
ial attention to the insurance depart
ment of the association which has
many attractive features and will
undoubtedly find favor with motor
lists in this state.
The promise of an early organiza-
ton in this state in the interest of
those using motor power for vehicles
will be welcomed not only by this
class, but by everyone who desires
better roads"

LOCAL DRAFT BOARD HAS
SECURED 2S men TO DATE
Available Men Are Enlisting to
Avoid Conscription and to Secure
Choice of Service

The following list of 2S names
represents the net results that have
been obtained from the two calls
that have been made from the regis
tration list:
Louis Feldman. Alexander Silva,
Howard II. Hanna, Melville S. Chap
man, William ID. Landess, George
Dalton, Thomas W. Dyer. Ernest p
Raab. Sibley J. Grubb. Leonard
| O'Doan, White Feather. Joseph n.

Geo. X. d. Freeman, Raffaele Mat
teuci, Thomas Bradshaw, Walter
Dressler, Giuseppe Benedict, Adolph
Ramos, Perry E. Conser. Isaac S.
Sahm, Rolf e. Brown.
The local Draft Board has been
wrestling manfully with the prob
lem of securing the required SO re-
cruits assigned to Churchill County
and at the present writing have GER
titled up 2S names of those who have
passed the required examination and
have either filed no claims for ex-
emption or have been refused exem-
ption on the grounds over which the
local rl iY.rfcdfatfnn In
all 12S men have been called from
the list, but of these about a dozen
have already enlisted, while others
have been examined by boards in
other districts and no reports have
been received.
1t is probable that of the number
certified up some have filed claims
for exemption with the State board
and may be discharged. At all
events enough men have now been
secured to fill the first quotas which
are ordered to be entrained on Sep
tember 9Th, 10Th and goth.
The work of securing the neces-
sary number is seriously hampered
by the fact that as fast as the var
ious additional names are chosen
from the list from which to make
the selection those who are called
avail themselves of the opportunity
to select the branch of service and
enlist, thus taking practically every
available man in the call. The un-
fairness of this handicap is shown by
the fact that Churchill county re-
ceives no credit for these enlist
ments Notwithstanding upwards
of sixty men have enlisted from this
county with a population estimated
at not to exceed $500.
The board is now busy clearing up
the clerical work attendant upon
the certification of those already
passed before making another call
from which to secure the additional
eleven names.
Should the present ratio be sus-
tanned it will require nearly fifty
per cent of the entire registration
to secure the first quota of men
from this county.

.FALLON BUSINESS men ARE
AGAIN MADE EASY VICTIMS
Bogus Check Artist Fleeces Unwary
Victims Out of $72 by Same Meth
cd Used Year Ago.

Three Fallon business men again
fell victims to slick bogus check
operator last Saturday, almost a
year to a day following a similar op-
Grafton and in exactly the same man.
ner.
In this instance, however, the
forger mulcted them out of an ad-
ditional five dollars, probably figur-
ing that the additional risk entitled
him to that much bonus.
The operator gave the name of
Frank Lamont and had been work
ing for L. l.. Downs as a hay hand.
On Saturday he came into town with
genuine check for s24 signed by
Mr., Downs. He then procured some
blank checks and proceeded to write
three more for the same amount.
The genuine check he cashed with
Dan Callahan at the Bank Bar The
others were cashed by Bryant &
Jensen at the Mission Bar. Wood
lifts dry goods store and Charley
Hoover at the Barrel House
AS the banks were closed Satur-
day afternoon and Sunday, he re-
mained safe from detection until
Monday, by which time he had made
himself scarce.
The method used is one that is
hard to circumvent short of refusal
to cash a check on a day preceding a
bank holiday. Last year in a SINH
lar case the forger accommodatingly
requested his victim to telephone his
whilom employer to certify to the
correctness of the amount, number
and signature and the fact that he
had been paid off as claimed.
AS soon as the checks we're pre-
sented at the bank the duplication
was discovered and Sheriff Wildes
notified. The Sheriff Immediately
wired description of the forger to
various points on the railroad in all
directions. Yesterday morning he
received word that a man answering
the description had been arrested at
Lovelock and Deputy Jim Smith, who
knows Lamont, departed to identify
and bring him back.

MILITARY MOBILIZATION
BRINGS LEGAL HOLIDAY
Wednesday, September 3, Has Been
Designated by Gov. Boyle as Day
TO Pay Honor to Conscripts

Wednesday, September 5, has
been designated as a legal holiday
by Governor Emmett d. Boyle, in
honor of the most remarkable mill
tary mobilization in the history of
the world
On the date above mentioned the
eonscripts who have qualified for the
national army will proceed to thsir
respective cantonments, and it is the
earnest wish of every person that
there be a demonstration manifest
ed throughout the land that viii
prove memorable.
Governor Boyle's proclamation
reads as follows:
"On Wednesday, September 5
1917, every community in this state
and nation will observe and share
in the most remarkable military
mobilization of all history.
"On that day the civil authorities
in each county will set forth the
first of four contingents to the army
eantonments, to pay the debt of ser.
vice imposed by the blessings of lib
erty. From the sixteen counties Of
Nevada the patriotic exodus will pro-
ceed and thenceforth the communi-
ties that have sent their ve-y flower
of youth as friends and rela IS, will
follow their far-nung fortunes under
the flag as soldiers of the world 6
greatest and most perfect democracy
In these circumstances, |, Emmei
d. Boyle, governor of the state oi
Nevada, by authority in me vested
have appointed and do hereby desig'
nate and proclaim Wednesday, Sep
tember 3, 1917, as legal holiday
and I do urge all public and private
organizations to make 1t one of pa
triotic demonstration, of inspiration
and acknowledgment alike, in honor
of those we send to fight for us.
do further urgently request that all
saloons be kept closed during all OF
said day.

CHURCHILL HIGH OPENS FOR
FALL Term NEXT TUESDAY

Tuesday morning, September 5, at
0 a. M, the Churchill County High
School, will again open its doors for
school On the first day books will
be issued, lessons assigned, and
registration continued. The program
is now in process of formulation and
will be completed well in advance of
the opening.
Advance Enrolment.
The registration now recorded in
cludes a large proportion of each
class and subject. Freshmen are
most numerous, but pupils have ap-
peared in satisfactory numbers for
the other classes, and work has been
outlined for a total of 81 pupils.
About 40 prospects" remain to be
listed a goodly proportion of whom
will doubtless present themselves for
study during the first week. SEN
/ iors number 16 and should muster
a strong graduating class for the
Commencement next spring in the
new building 1t is important that
as many as possible should be pres
+ ent at the first to begin work with
/ their classes. A handicap at the be-
ginning is often difficult to overcome,
especially In the freshman class and
/ in those subjects which are entirely
new to the pupils.
/ Special Students. -.
The High School offers much more
work than any one pupil can COM
plete in four years. Indeed, a stu
/ dent progressing at normal rate
would require at least ten years to
do all of the work now conducted.
Almost anyone, therefore. can find
many subjects in the High School
which he has not had and whose
pursuit might be of great profit to
him. Any such person, Is years OF
age or over, possessing a grammar
school education, or its equivalent,
and seriously desiring instruction
which the High School can give, will
be welcomed to its halls as special
student. Many communities extern
sively utilize their high schools in
this way and thus very greatly en-
large their usefulness. There Is no
tuition, books are furnished, and the
faculty will gladly number specials
of this type in their classes. Sub
/ jects often sought in this way are:
Typing, shorthand, bookkeeping,
sewing, cooking, and foreign lang
uages.
/ Subjects and Teachers
In a school of moderate size and
rather limited means, 1t is necessary
to alternate certain subjects, with
the result that the programs of sue
cessive years differ somewhat.
