every emergency, and whereas, we feel
that through their past actions they

American people and that they will
not prove safe to the American inter-
ests in the future because of their
probable attitude in regard to German
peace propaganda and the wishes of
Germany In treaty rights;
And whereas, We believe ourselves
to be the representatives OF the peo-
pie OF the State of Nevada and the
guardians of their rights, and beliey-
ing as aforesaid, In the disloyal atti-
tude of the Hearst publications and
fearing their future attitude.
Therefore be IL resolved, That We

old CLOTHES
FOR bELC|ANS

An urgent call has been sent out to
all Red Cross chapters to hold drive
for old clothes for the Belgian relief,
If they cannot complete the arments to
and such drive will be conducted
by Carson Valley chapter, A. R. G. be-
tween the 23 and the 30th of Septem-
ber.
If you have an extra overcoat or
woolen garment 70 any kind for man,
woman or child hanging In your
closet after September 30, It will
haunt you for what it might have done
to clothe a needy Belgian this winter
Do it up now, and be ready to send 1t
to the Red Cross.
In addition to used clothing. piece
goods, blankets and baby clothes are
included in the call. Only garments
of strong material can be accepted.
Donors are reminded that it will not
be necessary to mend the garments
as the repair work will give employ
ment to thousands of destitute women
in the occupied regions.
Henry P. Dawson, chairman of the
War Council of the American Red
Cross in his appeal for a hearty re-
sponse from the American people
says:
" Every household In the lind has
some spare clothing, worn or out
grown. of little value here, but desper-
ately needed by the destitute there.
They have been reduced to fashioning
garments from floursacks, old blank
cts, sheets, and table cloths, which
have now almost disappeared, and
shoes from scraps Of carpet and jute
sacks. Today it costs eight dollars to
have pair of shoes resoled. For
bedding, sacks stuffed with dry leaves
or moss serves as mattresses. Every
where the need for blankets is tre-
mendous. Hospitals and other insti-
tutions suffer for want of sheets. In
some places whole antilles sleep to-
gether to chare single blanket. We
cannot purchase what is needed. But
you can give it."

REGISTRATION
CALLS 352 MEN

When the registration for the select
I've draft closed in this county last
Thursday night at nine o'clock 352
names had been enrolled. During the
evening and up to within few min
utes OF the time set for closing the
registration, the clerks in the East
Fork district which includes Minden
and Gardnerville, We're kept busy
Many of the late arrivals had travel
ed long distances in order to comply
with the law governing the selective
draft registration. No complaints
were heard, and registration went off
In every district like clock-work.
The Indians did not register as they
should, according to general belief.
One indian, who was not day over
thirty according to his general ap-
pc arance, explained that he did not
know how old he was, but some
white man who had known him as a
boy, had told him he was fifty years
old. However, many of the Indians
that registered, confessed that they
did not know their exact ages, but
were willing to accept the judgment
of the registrar clerks
During the afternoon kilograms
were received telling of the big drive
being made by the American soldiers
on the st. Mihiel salient, and the COM
plete route of the enemy, followed
closely by the Yanks. This news was
joyfully received and towards evening
crowds of people began to swarm in
to town. A Celebration was planned
and at nine o'clock, as the draft board
closed their book, the Gardnerville
orchestra, mounted on an auto truck,
started up THE Star Spangled Ban
ner." A huge bonfire was lighted
and speeches made. Then threaten
ed storm broke, and while it drove
the crowd from the streets, it did not
put a damper ON the festivities. The
orchestra played for a dance at VAL
halla hall and those that did not dance
talked proudly of the American boys
who had that day achieved such
reat victory in Europe.

"OVER THE TOP
HERE THIS WEEK

Robert Gordon Anderson, the man
who discovered" Sergeant Arthur
Guy Empey, the American boy who
founght alongside Tommy Atkins for
eighteen months in France, recently
told the story of how the little fighter
came to write his now famous book
"Over the Top"
Mr.. Anderson is one of Empey's
closest personal friends and knew him
in pre-Lusitania days. In fact, could
qualify as a charter member of the
"I-Knew-Him- When Club" When
Empey returned from France, after
serving eighteen months as a member
of the British expeditionary force and
bearing seven wounds, Mr.. Anderson
was one of the frinends he looked up.
The soldier was back home, honor
ably discharged from service, but
chafiing to get back to the firing line
Anderson, who Is sales manager for
G. p. Putman's Son publishers of
"Over the Top" was one of his daily
companions and to him Empey re-
counted many of his experiences
1t was Mr. Anderson wo suggested
that Empey write "Over the Top" but
for months the soldier declined the
suggestion. Finally, when Mr.. Ander-
son put it to him in patriotic grounds
and showed him that in his own ex-
periences he had message of value
to every American who donned the
khaki, Empey consented to write the
book.
Then began the fastest preparation
of a book in the history of publishing
| honestly believe" said Anderson in
telling of it. "As fast as we could get
Empey to put his thoughts on paper,
we took the copy away from him; so
fast, in fact, that he says we literally
choked it out of him. As 1t stands,
Over the Top is really a soldiers
notebook, but because Of Empey's
wonderful appreciation of the dra-
matte and the humorous Incidents, 1t
is probable the most human and most
American book that has been written
on the war.
Every word in 1t is Empey's. Ev-
cry thought in 1t is Empey's. Moth
ing was changed In the editing, or
collating, and one of the chief charms
of the book is the simple language in
which Empey tells his story. All the
time he wrote as one soldier to anoth-
er, because he had no idea that his
book would become SO universally
popular, believing, instead, that If II
had any appeal it would be to soldiers
only. He told his yarns just as he
told them to me and other friends as
we sat around in the evening
When Empey finally consented tt
appear in a film version of "Over the
Top" for the Vitagraph Company, o.
which Albert e. Smith is president, i
was Anderson, the writer, who was
chosen to adapt the book, and he ap'
pears as the author Of the screeI
story. In writing 1t, he has retained
all of the punch and dramatic power
that made Empey's book great, and a
the same time has woven story O
mystery, love and adventure that EN-
braces all of the high lights of thu
book.
"Over the Top" In which Sergean
Empey himself appears as the star
will be shown at the Minden Theatr,
Saturday night, September 21, and a
the valhalla Theatre, Sunday night
September 21st

as we have been able to learn, there
are no candidates opposing Mr.. Can
non and Mr.. Eckstein for reelection,
and IL is probable that there will be
none. The present school board has
done good work and 1t is better to
retain them in office than to elect
some IN else to learn the duties Of
the position when they might be
equally well employed in some of the
many duties that the war has i'm
