BUY STUDEBAKER
NOW, SAYS DEALER

Right now is the most favorable
time to buy Il car that may exist for
several years." says l.. II. Barton. local
distributor of Studebaker cars. And.
considering his close relationship
with everything pertaining to tho mar
keting of motor cars. there's every rea
son to believe that he speaks authors
tatively.
The low prices that purchasers have
enjoyed during the last few years
were made possible only by reason of
enormous quantity manufacturing"
continued Mr.. Barton. THE future
may not permit such vaat quantities to
continue. Present automobile prices
are largely based on the costs of mate
rails contracted to previous to tho
soaring increase in the price of raw
materials.
''Studebaker Is the last big manu-
facturer to announce an increase in
prices. Due to huge purchases OF raw
materials. over a year ago. and long
term contracts. Stndebakcr has been
able to maintain present low prices.
Practically all other automobile max
err has raised prices since January /.
Some manufacturers have announced n
second increase since the first of July
and majority of them are now pre-
pairing to make further advances.

PRACTICALLY ALL
CLAIM EXEMP ION
Exemption Board Busy Today;
Only a Few are Willing
To Serve

The local exemption board. consist
ing of DR.. c. w. West. County Clerk
II. II. Hunter. and Sheriff ]. c. Harris,
Is busy today examining the men from
all parts OF the county who were
called for the first draft. The work is
progressing satisfactorily and Il Is be-
licved that the first hundred will be
examined before eight o'clock tonight.
The board will complete the work of
examining the three hundred and two
men by Wednesday night.
Contrary to expectation, practically
every man examined up TO n late hour
this afternoon claimed exemption for
one reason or another. and many Sc
cured the services of lawyers in max,
ing their claims. II was stated this
afternoon that from ninety to ninty'
FIVE per cent claim that they come
under the exemption rules. Natives as
well as foreign born are trying to
evado service in the army.
Out of the first twenty-five men eX
amined 1t is said that twenty.three nj
the physical qualifications, only two
falling short of the requirements.
While II is just and right that Ger
tain persons should claim exemption
II Is deplorable that men with no on'
dependent on them and in every way
qualified, should seek to evade theil
solemn duty to defend our flag in this
mighty struggle. II seems to indicate
that patriotism is at low cbb In this
country. despite the fact that we have
the srandcst and most nearly perfect
system OF government that the worlt
has ever known.
There is the satisfaction. however
that very few OF the claims will b,

the majority. AS the welfare of the
majority is the chief concern of the
government, il is the duty of those in
authority to concern themselves in the
affairs of the minority that the major
ity may not suffer for things they are
not responsible for.
This the state has already done TO
some extent by sending to the district
its state police to prevent possible de-
struction of property. Perhaps no de.
struction would have occurred If they
had not been present. but there Is no
difference of opinion but that their
presence has had tendency to dis.
courage any attempt at such conduct,
and that the police have been well
handled to this purpose; and, obeying
orders, have not injected themselves
! in the ordinary police duties that prop.
orly belong to the county and pre-.
cinct authorities. Their presence has
also had a comforting influence on the
community mind as being an evidence
Of authority that would protect a pa.
triotic community against possible out
break of disloyalty by enemy aliens or
| reasonable citizens.
But the state should not allow. and
cannot permit, its authority to be used
to countenance evasions of law, nor to
be considered even as an intimation as
a suppression of the right to complain
OF unfair conditions. The right to ap.
peal TO the public conscience Is as val.
liable right as the right to appeal to
the courts of law. and the public con.
science is as positive a force as the
law, and Is the only court that can
decide questions not yet crystalized
into statutes.
The main complaint of the laborors
of the district is the reinforcement
OF the eight hour law for open cuts.
No evidence OF this Is needed. II is
admitted by everybody. The men
want It enforced. and the question Of
wages is secondary, though naturally
they want the same wage for the
eight hour day as for the nine.
"The men are sustained by the sen.
timcnt of the community in asking for
this enforcement. The employers
state that they are willing TO establish
the eight hour day II the mon want Il.

PLANS FORMULATED
FOR NEVADA RED CROSS

Red Cross work in Nevada was
placed on a new basis Wednesday.
Funds for relief for war sufferers
hereafter, will be collected by pledged
monthly subscriptions from individ.
uals and corporations throughout the
state. Beginning September l it is
planned TO raise 100000 a year
through the operation of this plan, ac.
cording to Reno paper.
Changes Were effected in a meeting
Wednesday at the Commercial club by
a committee of fifteen, appointed by
Governor Emmett ID. Boyle. pursuant
TO authority invested in them by
Henry T. Davidson, chairman of the
Red Cross department of the national
council of defense.
No More Begging Campaigns
Begging campaigns cannot be ex-
pected to furnish the money essential
for the work." said George B. Thatch.
er, chairman, when II is considered
that slO0,OOO.OO0 given by the nation
in the last campaign and the 100000
apportioned to Nevada is only enough
to conduct the work for six months" >"
Under the new plan adopted, month
ly subscriptions of % cents and up.
ward will be taken. Workingmen with
small earnings will be asked to pledge
a monthly contribution of 25 cents.
Large corporations. labor and frater.
nal organizations and men and women
of financiar means will be asked to
give larger amounts.
To Have War Fund
One-half of the money obtained in
this manner is to be placed in the wal
fund. One-half of the remainder, OF
one-fourth of the total amount, will be
used in the equipment and mainten
ance of Red Cross ambulance units
at the front. The remaining quarter
of the money will be used in the sup
port of the local chapters, wherein
relief work will be conducted among
| the families of the soldiers.
A highly organized and efficient or
ganization is proposed. State and fed
/ eral data on the financial standing
and operations OF companies and indi
viduals will be placed at the disposal
of the committee in apportioning the
amounts for subscription.
