however, and, indeed, they were ap-

at their own jokes. Although these
night raids seem to take all the starch
out of the Germans while they are
going on, the officers were usually as
brave as lions the next day and spoke

There were six Of our machines

the type of the British machines knew
that they might possibly be from my

had been apparently picked out by
six of the Huns and were bearing the
brunt of the fight. The contest seemed

our men was hardly to be thought Oh

"The spectacle of representatives
OF the church and state conspiring
with the liquor dealers to defeat a
measure these reformers had pledged
themselves to the people OF the state
to protect and carry through Is one
to conjure with. Whatever their mo-

ever perpetrated by any political ma
chine whether II be called wet or

party.
Voters in the southern counties OF
the state which workers have been
canyassing in the interest of my can
didacy generally express indignation
at this attempt to interfere with the
people to express their will at the
polls next November. It Is almost in
conceivable that the "drys" should
agree with the "wets" to penalize
the voters and taxpayers of the state
for adopting the measure the "drys
themselves have had placed upon the

SKILLED MEN
ARE HONORED

Ely put her heart into her fare
we'll to nineteen OF her sons last Fri
day morning. saying with all her
yearning:
Go where the glory waits thee,
hut while fame elates thee
Oh. still remember me.
And the lads were prepared to go
through with a will. There was no
thought of compulsion or draft or
CONSUMPTION in the youths who suug-
gled into semblance of order and
went away laughing, cheering on
their way.
The city gave them goodbye in
whole-souled heartiness. The tears
of mother. father. sister, sweetheart
were kept from public view and so
the piaudits rang without a culver
or a strain.
We are sending them away with
a smile. Rarely has the city seen
a braver marital array and the event
partook of the stern measures OF
war rather than that of a gala day.
The city's soul throb is behind the
war to make democracy safe, and
the Liberty lads of the city were eag-

spend three months acquiring knowl-
edge of certain mechanical arts that

County and city officials and civ
ilians took part In the patriotic dem
onstration. The nineteen youths
who went on their way last Friday
morning will remember the farewell
for many years to come. They VIII

JITNEYS AND
SOFT DRINKS
SUBJECT To
REVENUE TAX

Internal Revenue Agent Frank Re
ber has been in the district sor sew
eral days checking up the various
activities of his office. Those who
have not yet paid their income tax
are reminded that all income taxes
al whatever nature are required TO
be paid by June 15 Notices will
not be sent out at this time there
fore 1t is The duty of all income tax
payers to look after this Important
matter without being further remind
ed by the government
Mr.. Reber also lays particular em-
phasis on the fact that all soda foun-
tains or other dispensers of soft
drinks, and those who make use of
government tax levied against these
products, and that this tax must be
paid either before or after the goods
leave the wholesaler; that is. II will
positively be no excuse for the re-
taller to say that he supposed that
the wholesaler had paid the tax, As
it is the duty OF the retailer to be
certain that the tax Is paid, no mat
ter what the duty of the wholesaler
may be, or what the previous Gus
tom of the trade may have been, the
retailer is now held responsible.
Another matter that is being given
careful attention, is the requirement
that all jitneys and other vehicles
which compete with the Nevada
Northern railway in the transporta-
ton of passengers to and from Ruth.
Riepetown, Kimberly, McGill or 9th
er points at the mines or smelter, are
required to pay the tax ON each pas
senger carried. exactly the same an
the railroad is required to pay IL.
Careful account must be kept by each
vehicle of the number of passengers
carried, In the same manner as is re-
quired of the railway company. and
as is actually carried out by their
conductors
IL is also learned that a catalog
or directory of the male population
of the district is being carefully pre-
pared, and that it is the intention
of the government that all able bod
led inhabitants shall be placed at
some occupation which will be bene-
fetal to the people at large. and that
will assist in the winning of the war.
