Because Fernley is located on .
sandy bench the need of drainage
was not at first apparent; but upon
closer cxaminstion it vas found that
ridges and beds Of ;mpervious clay
at depths Of three to six feet prevent

Since the construction OF the open
bitches the water has already been
lowered two feet in certain sections

MORE VOLUNTEERS
WANTED FOR u. S. ARMY.

A letter has just been received from
the Provost Marshal General, II which
he states information and guidance
for adj concerned
There is an immediate demand for
skilled men in various units of the Ar
my. needed by General PershiIg.
The Selective Service machinery must
produce these skilled men. Delay in
the several states in completing the
occupational cards precludes resort
to these cards to secure these men
and makes it necessary to improvise
a temporary plan for the purpose.
About 1900 men will be needed in
the near future, which we hope to get
by voluntary induction.
Among those needed are; auto-mc-
chanics and inspectors, blacksmiths,
bricklayers, boilers makers, carpen-
tiers, chauffeurs, chemists. clerks, con-
struction foremen, crusher operators,
craftsmen, engineers, electricians,
linemen, plummers, painters, team
sters, as we'll as many others.
A complete copy of the list can be
seen in the postoffice and on the bull
letin board at Gallagher's store.
Forty-nine registrants under the Sc
/ tive service act will be called upon
to entrain for Fort Mcdowell, Cali
fornia, during the pediod of the week,

ders sent from the Provost Marshall
General at Washington. The follow
ing county quotas have been prepared

Mrs. Anne j. Campbell, home
demonstration agent, says that De-
Soto county's exhibit at the State
Fair at Jacksonville was the most
beautiful and unique exhibit on

first place if it had not been for
the shortage of two products
which graded high. AS it was we
won fifth prize on the exhibit,
which was 800.
The young ladies of Punta Cor
'da, under the direction of Miss
Blanche Glenn, carried off first
honors on substitute bread. Our
ladies all want to learn to make
substitute bread now while they
have the opportunity, as while the
war drags on it may be necessary
ito use this bread altogether. Read
Mrs. Campbell's notice in another
column and attend the meeting.
The fancy work displays took
several prizes The booth was
draped in the national colors and
was in the shape of a hangar. The

fruits were grouped around it.
The central idea was Food and

This exhibit attracted more at
tcntion than any other on the fair

portionment, fails to do so, the
next one should do it. There is
no question of perjury involved in
this case, but it is a question of
common honesty. There is no
reason why representation in the
legislature should not be in pro-
portion to population. There is
no reason why man living in one
county should have the legislative
strength of six or eight living in
another If he has it, he has what
does not belong to him, but does
belong to someone else. There is
no justice in giving a county with
ten thousand people as great rep
resentation in the legislature as
another of ninety thousand. 1t is
not just and it is not honest and
no honest man wishes it. The
man who would insist that his
county have as large a representa-
ton in the legislature as another
with five or six times its popula-
ton, would take your pocketbook
if he could manage it without be-
ing caught.
We hope the next legislature
will reapportion the state. It's
members will not be sworn to do
so, but they will be dishonest if
they do not do so. The members
