INNER MAN WELL FORTIFIED
American Soldier, Ordered to the
Front, at Least Did Not Set Out
on Mission Hungry.

An American doughboy entered a
restaurant in the Rue Richelieu and
after carefully studying the menu, or
dered dejeuner
The waitress brought him bacon and
eggs, cheese and pint Of beer. When
he had finished eating he paid his bill
and called the waitress.
"Now want some lunch"
This time she brought him plate Of
roast beef, vegetables and chicken,
which he washed down with half q
dozen cups of tea; then he paid his
bill and called the wondering waitress
back again.
"Now, my dear, want dinner"
He ate some beef, vegetables, ap-
pies and drank bottle Of wine.
At 80, after having taken all three
meals at once, the soldier left the res
taurant, and a little while later SCI
out on mission to the front.--Stars

Industrial Exemption.

Conscription boards have their trou-
bles, and occasionally a tragedy, but
once in a while they have little joke,
too. The local draft board at Scots
burg thinks it has good one on the
third district appeal board.
Recently the Scottsburg board sent
up papers Of man who sought ex-
emptiOn because Of marriage since Au-
gust 8, 1918. In due time the papers
were returned by the appeal board with
the ruling deferred classification re-
fused. Place can be filed by another"
1t is presumed that the appeal clerks
wrote reason for refusal Of an appeal
for exemption on Industrial grounds on
the papers instead of the one intended
for case.-Indlanapolis News.

.YANKS WIN THE HEARTS
OF THE LITTLE HUNS

Coblenz, Dec. 25.-Here on the
banks of the Rhine the world seems
topsy turvy this Christmas day,
1918. One thinks there was never

WAR PROSPERITY
STRIKES PACIFIC

The Emergency Fleet Corporation
has awarded a contract to the Union
Construction Company of San Fran
cisco to build ten steel freighters of
the sherwood type. at a cost of $17,-
100000. it has been announced The
ssels will be of 9400 tons each.
Contracts for four 15O-foot sea-
going tugs and three 3500-ton wooden
ships were also awarded Whitney
Brothers of Superior. Wis, will build
the tugs and the Wilson Shipbuilding
Company of Astoria, Oregon, the
wooden ships.
In verifying the report of the con-
tract, Walter W. Johnson, president of
the San Francisco concern, said that
the new holdings of the company near
the Key Route pier would be improved
Immediately, and when the plant is
in active operation there will be con-
stant work for not less than 5000 men.
According to present plans, the keel
of the first vessel will be laid within
five months. Estimates made and COM
piled in Washington from official fig
ures are that fully 10000 persons
engage either directly or indirectly in
shipbuilding in the San Francisco dis
riot This means that the estimated
wage of s1,00O00 weekly represents
.lore than one-tenth of the San Fran
cisco and Alameda county payroll.
With the completion of the new
plant of the Union Construction Com
pany and the consequent increase in
the amount of wages paid, the weekly
payroll will total nearly S1,250000.
Several other shipyards are being
projected and it is believed that with
in another year the men employed in
shipbuilding around the bay will re-
ceive in the neighborhood of S2,000,00O
each week.

LIBERTY DAY WAS
ONE GRAND AFFAIR

Yesterday afternoon was fittingly
observed as Liberty day by the people
of Winnemucca, in accordance with
President Wilson's desire, by parade
and speaking ON the courthouse lawn.
Practically all business houses were
closed for the afternoon and all Win
nemuccans took part in the celebra-
tion. Much good was accomplished.
The parade was one of the longest
witnessed in this city for long time.
First came the High School Cadets,
under Captain J. ID. Scott, escorting
the eleven drafted men who left on
S.P. No. 10 yesterday afternoon. The
knights Templar followed, in full uni
form. Other organizations repre-
sented were the Red Cross, Lo.o.F.,
Eastern Star, Knights Pythias,
Pythian Sisters and the Eagles. Also
in the parede were high school schol-
ars, grammar school and kindergarten
children, teachers, etc. Notable in the
parade was a large delegation from
the newly-organized Business Mems
Association. When the head of the
parade made the turn on Bridge street
below the f.. Reinhart store the last
had not yet II the courthouse.
Immediately after the parade every
one gathered on the courthouse lawn.
Colonel Salter. director of the Hum
boldt county council of national de-
dense, presided. Music was furnished
by the American Theatre orchestra.
A ringing and patriotic address by At
torney l.. G. Campbell was followed
by an equally eloquent address by
Judge +. A Ducker. John G. Hunt
ington, chairman of the sub-council OF
national defense. was present from
Rochester. the banner district, but
modestly declined TO address the as
semblage. Vocal numbers were rem
der by choir consisting of Mrs. p. B.
Roberts, Mrs. Norma Stevens, c. K.
Robins, Rev. G. LeRoi Clark and Rev.
p. II. Willis. John r. Tullis of Inlay
announced that that town had raised
$4,000 and their quota was $4,000.
After the speaking. singing and
music everyone was invited to walk
right up to the little tables and sub
scribe for Liberty bonds of the third
issue. Twenty-four hundred dollars
worth were thus sold in a few mo
ments.
Director Salter stated today that
approximately $4,000 has yet to- be
raised in this county.

G0LC0NDA DETERMINED TO
BUY MOST LIBERTY BODNs

The council of national defense at
Golconda is bending every effort to
tie Rochester's most enyiable record
in the sale of Liberty bonds.
They have already exceeded their
quota of $4,000, and as an illustration
of the enthusiasm of the citizens of
that loyal and patriotic community 1t
is interesting to note an incident that
happened today between George Balm
and Albert Kent. Balm and Kent
made a deal some time ago whereby
Balm transferred to Kent ranch near
Golconda. There was due today TO
Balm a balance on the purchase price
of $4,000 and when Kent asked Balm
how he wanted the money, Balm con-
sidered a moment and said: Pay il
to me in Liberty bonds" Kent i'm
mediately saw the point and bought
$4,000 worth of bonds in Bain's name
and delivered them over, giving Col
conda credit for another sale of thai
amount To George Balm goes the
credit of being the largest individual
purchaser of bonds in Humboldt
county to date.
Those GOlconda folks are certainly
alive TO the situation. Today John
Comes brought down several more
thousand dollars to add to their quota,
he, Albert Kent and Jack Peterson
having taken a 13O-mile auto trip yes
terday visiting sheep camps.

SCOUTS COMMENCE
LIBERTY CAMPAIGN
(Communicated)

Ihe appeal or President Wilson
herewith presented to the Boy Scouts
of America is more specific than in
either of the two previous Liberty
loan campaigns. 1t calls upon us to
muster the full strength of the Boy
Scouts of America for cooperation
with the treasury department.
He says: 1T is my earnest wish
that every troop of Boy Scouts and
ever scout and scout official take part
in your war activities, and especially
in these Liberty loan campaigns.
AT the meeting of the executive
board of the national council, held In
March, plans for the third Liberty
loan campaign were definitely ap-
proved, and upon motion it was voted
that all scouts and scout officials be
definitely called upon to participate
and be told that they were expected
to participate in some form.
At the same meeting, the following
resolution was unimously passed:
"Be it resolved, That the Boy Scouts
of America stand for 100 per cent
patriotism and unqualified and ener-
getic support of the government in
every way;
Further, That = is the expectation
that every scout AID scout official will
conform to this standard"
It is sincerely hoped that in all
parts of the country there will be
more effective effort than in either of
the two previous campaigns, and that
the confidence Of the resident and the
secretary of the treasury and the gov
ernors of the states and others who
have been so generous in commencing
the services of the scouts will be fully
justified.
The dates for the Boy Scout inten-
sive campaign have been fixed for
Saturday, April 27, to Saturday, May
4, inclusive.
In accordance with instructions
from the treasury department and the
plans as definitely agreed upon, under
no circumstances can scouts start in
to secure subscriptions before April
27. 1t will, however, be left to each
community to decide when to discon-
tinue the campaign.
The plan of having the Boy Scouts
campaign at the end of the regular
campaign in house-to-house canvass
is the particular service that has been
assigned to the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca by the US. treasury department.
Undoubtedly in many cases 1t will
affect the opportunity of the scouts to
secure credit for larger number of
subscriptions. 1t must be remem-
bered that the Boy Scouts of America
have not been asked to participate in
these Liberty loans for the purpose
of taking the places of other agencies
for securing subscriptions or for the
mere purpose of making a record.
The Boy Scouts of America have
been asked to serve as .gleaners after
the reapers," and the real strength
and effectiveness of our work will be
based upon the number of people
whom we induce TO subscribe who
would have otherwise been overlooked
and the number of persons who might
be induced to make additional sub
scriptions because of the earnest and
patriotic appeal of Boy Scouts who
are working not for awards but to
help win the war.
