UNCLE SANS BONDS

Bennie James, Washoe Indian,
who has one son fighting in the Unit
ed States army, further demonstrated
his loyalty to his county. by buying
Liberty Bond, the purchase having
been made Wednesday.
Benny James is closely following
the traits of his white brothers. His
family lives in a house instead of a
wicheup; they ride in an automobile
instead of on old spring wagon. For
years Benny James has acted as
guide for Lake Tahoe resorts and the
tales he has manufactured for tie
benefit OF tourists would fill a good
sized book.
Ben is proud of the fact that he has
a son in the army. The white people
of Douglas county have every reason
to be proud of this Indian family.
