report to the senate recommending
a system of government-owned deep

Plenty of Pine Nuts

The largest pine nut crop in re-
cent years in the Gardnerville dis
trict is now being harvested by the
Indians. The day when the squaws
went into the mountains and logged
the nuts home on their backs is
now past and the Indians now use
motor trucks and touring cars.

ATTENTION I!

THIS is AN IMPORTANT MAT
TER! We are engaged in great war
for the liberty of the world. Our boys
are fighting this war. We are athome
attending to- our business. The boys
must be provided for, and the Govern
ment knows just how much that takes.
The Government has nothing except
what comes from the people. 1t can
do nothing of itself, except to direct
the activities os the citizenship. The
amount needed must be had. 1t must
come in one of two ways, either by
taking, which the Government has the
power to do; if it becomes necessary by
taxation. Taxes fall entirely on the
present generation. This is war for
future generations, and its burdens
should be borne by the coming genera
tion, which must be finally paid by the
ultimate collection of taxes. The issu-
ing of Liberty Bonds is one way to
secure the money, to divide the response
bility of citizenship, and give the
amount back with interest. This is the
best way to raise the money.
Now this amount ought to be and
there is an effort to divide the duty
as nearly as possible between the in
dividuals composing this nation. The
general Government can only apportion
the amount among the different States.
The States can only apportion IL among
the parishes. The parishes can only ap-
portion it among the wards. The wards
must apportion it among the citizens.
We boast that we are Democracy
and can do things just as effectively as
kings. We are not a military people,
and the duty of fixing the responsibility
of the different citizens has been as
signed to the committee The duty of
the citizen has been fixed by the COM
mittee. In the last analysis it becomes
the duty of the citizen, and each citi-
zen-this means YOU-to do the part
assigned by the committee. TO fail to
do so you are betraying your country
in the hour of its greatest need. You
should not only take the amount of
bopds assigned by the committee,
but more. If you have to borrow a
part of that, pay it back in partial pay
ments it is bringing in interest, and
the amount you will be contributing to
the war will be the difference between
the rate of interest you pay for money
and the rate of interest the Govern
ment pays you.

Lend Your Money as Freely
Ss Our Boys Give Their
Lives

In the name of the quarter Of a
million men who have left this
District to fight for US, | appeal
to the citizenship of the Eleventh
Federal District to subscribe and
over subscribe the Fourth Liberty
Loan, and call upon them to- do
it quickly.
Let US put away as unworthy
Of ourselves and of this occasion
the usual thoughts of our little,
and really unimportant, lives
Men are fighting, Drawing and
suffering even death itself for you
and me.
As ordinary averase decent
human beings we shodld feel that
we must support these men and
provide them with the minimum
amount the Government asks of
US. As men of pride ip our race,
birth and nationality, we must do
more and make our response both
prompt and generous.
To count our money while our
sohs are lighting for our lives,
our homes and our future, is out
of place and unworthy.
Conditions IN this District of
ours are not ideal, and the burden
of the Loan has been most care
fully adjusted. Not a single COM
munity has been asked to do more
than is possible or reasonable.
Upon the wealthy men of this
community rests a responsibility
greater than was ever placed upon
their shoulders before. They must
lend to their country the accumu-
lated wealth of past years and we
know that they will do. it.
Our boys went to our defense
fearlessly. courageously and with
a smile on their faces. We must
all lend as they have given.

the widespread prevalence of influenza,

Medical Service Corps all outside med
ical aid required in combating present
influenza epidemic. Red Cross, upon
specific request from this Service, will
mobilize nursing personnel and furnish

The Surgeon General asks that we in
form city and parish health officers ap-
peals for aid must be made to the State
Health Department which will make
request of the Surgeon General, Public
Health Service, whenever local need
requires. Further, whenever neces-
sary, the Public Health Service will
establish district officers to cooperate
with state officials in the distribution of
medical and nursing personnel. 1t will
be noted it is the plan of the Public
Health Service to give all possible
help, and that community, parish and
state officials are used as agents. The
State Board of Health urges all people
sick with colds, especially those cough
ing and sneezing, to refrain from at
tending church, school and all public
gatherings. TIL, management of the
atres are requested to exclude all pa
irons with colds and coughs. If the
disease assume the form of an epi
demic, the local boards should take
steps to prohibit public gatherings and
to close schools.

A stock of high explosive shells inn
peratively needed in France has been
destroyed, and the flow OF these sup
plies has been retarded, not only for
the present moment, but for months to
come. unless immediate relief is pro-
vided. This loss must be made up at
once by putting additional burdens on
all other American munition plants.
Within the next forty eight hours the
number of men to be supplied from
your State will be wired by the United
States Employment Service t. its Fed
eral State Director. Please issue the
necessary notices to your State, Parish
and Community Councils Of Defense
to put their entire influence behind he
employment service in this emergency.
This call for men must be met, but
there should be no difficulty in getting
these men. The work is dangerous,
but that will not deter any one, Tor it
is unthinkable that any man in this
country would hold back from doing
work which the women of England and
France long have carried on. When
this problem is placed before the Amer.
lean people public opinion will be solidly
behind the employment service and the
community labor boards in this emer-
gency.

Americas biggest shell-loading plant
is gone. There are other plants in
operations still others under construc-
ton. Work at all is seriously retarded
by lack of labor The ordinance depart
ment states immediate labor shortage
in existing munition plants is one hun
dred and thirty-nine thousand unskilled
laborers, and even greater numbers are
needed for army construction projects.
The only way to make good the loss of
shells and to absorb the shock SO that
it shall not injure Pershing's men. is to
fill this labor shortage at once. In view
of these facts, a real location of total
labor demands among the States will
be made at once. The requirements in
your State will tax your utmost efforts.
They can be filled only by getting men
from non essentials. Community labor
boards must expedite combing non
essentials and replacing men by women.
Make clear to the people of your State
their duty in the emergency. The ee-
ment of risk in she,l-loading plaut5 will
detern no real man or woman. Ameri.
cans arenot afraid either in the trenches
or at the posts OF danger at home
