In his possession, was given his liberty
by the Federal court at Carson Tues
day.
The arrest of Jim Kee, was made
upon his return from Reno at which
time grip was seized in which was
found the yen shee. Before the T. S.
Commissioners the Chinaman ad-
mitted that the grip belonged to him.
In the federal court he pleaded not

Commissioner. and therefore his first
admission of guilt was considered
void. Two prominent citizens of
Gardnerville testified in behalf of the
Chinaman, which carried great
weight In the federal court.

BASKETBALL
SATURDAY

Tomorrow night at the Douglas
high school auditorium will be staged
the last basketball game of the sea-
son and 1t is to be rip-snorting game
The players of the Sparks high school
will journey to this city for the ex-
press purpose OF winning the second
game from the Douglas team, thereby
winning second place among the high
schools of the state. The home team
is most emphatic In their belief that
Sparks will come cut second best in
the game tomorrow night, which will
give Douglas second place. Thus it
may be seen that the keenest rivalry
exists between the two teams for the
coveted honors and the game will be
the fastest and hardest fought con-
test witnessed during the present sea-
son.
In order that a square deal be CIV
en- both teams, . neutral referee from
Reno will decide all points In the big
game.
Both teams are evenly matched as
is evidenced by the game played at
Sparks last Saturday night At the
end Of the first half the score was
even. AS the second half progressed
no change in the score was made un-
til near the finish of the game when
Douglas by squirt OF speed managed
to nose out with one point to the good.
Both teams play a good clean game
relying entirely upon their wits and
fast playing to gain their points.
A arge attendance is hoped for and
the boys want your financial as we'll
as moral support. There is consid-
cradle expense attached TO bringing
the visiting team here while the boys
declare that they can play best when
the side lines are crowded with
spectators shouting their encourage
ment.
After the game the Baker orchestra
will play for social dance.

Polly of the
Circus SUNDAY

Polly of the Circus" Margaret
Mayos world-famed classic of the
big Tops" and now converted from
the celebrated play into a tremend-
GUS photo-spectacle, come to the Val
halla theatre Sunday night as the
first of the eagerly awaited Goldwyn
pictures. After an absence of almost
a year from the screen Mae Marsh
who won worldwide popularity In
THE Birth of a Nation" and "Intoler-
ance." comes again to greet her huge
throngs of admirers In one of the
most beautiful and elaborate produc-
tions ever made for the screen.
The production literally abounds in
sentiment and thrills for people of all
ages. There is a remarkably exciting
horse race, the production of an en-
tire circus performance, including all
of the animal and riding acts; the
arrival of the circus in village at
daybreak and its departure in the
night; the burning of the main tent
and the stampede of the audience
And there is love story of greater
charm and beauty than you have ever
before seen on the screen.
The picture tells the story of Polly,
child fthe circus, who, following the
death of her mother in an accident.
is raised BY an Old clown. Toby.
Polly becomes bareback rider, and
when she is injured by fall during
her act, she is left behind In the little
town, while the rest OF the circus
goes on.
When injured, Polly was taken TO
the nearest house, which happened to
be that Of young minister. Here
Pc ly stays during the long months OF
convalescence. She Is sixteen and
beautiful. The minister Is twenty
five and bachelor. So the gossips
are soon busy. Polly is regarded with
open hostility and her presence Is
particularly disquieting to Julia
Strong, who has set her cap for the
young parson, and Pollys resence up
SITS all her lans.
Word come to Polly Of the illness
Of her old friend. Toby, the clown.
Under Impulse Polly, riding her
circus horse, sweeps into the race at
the country fair at the last oment
and wins the purse with which she
hopes to buy comfort and health for
her old friend. In winning the race
she defeats the horse of Deacon Jones
who catches her at disadvantage and
banishes her from the village by
treats.
When another spring brings the
blossoms to the hillside orchards and
the big white tops II the circus tents

to the vacant lot behind the church,
the little god that laughs at locks and
obstacles finds a way to bringh these
two loving hearts together again
even though it takes a panic and
circus fire to do It.

WAR STAMP
ORGANIZATION

A War Savings Stamp organization
has been formed In Douglas county
for the purpose of stimulating the
sale of War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps and all of the leadin.,
merchants and business men of the
county have signed up as War Saw
ings agents and have a stock of
stamps on hand for the convenience
of patrons. War Savings Societies
are being formed by the organizations
in Douglas county that are found wi l.
ing to get behind the sale of the
Baby Liberty Bonds" The forma-
tion of sales organization In Doug
las county has been postponed until
this time, In order that the people
might all have an opportunity to
know what War Savings and Thrift
Stamps are and the importance Of
making systematic purchase of
them. War Savings and Thrift
Stamps give every one a chance to
serve. They give the prosperous in
dividual place for a thousand
do lars at good rate of interest and
the poor man an opportunity to start
the First Thousand" They are
more elastic that Liberty Bonds be-
cause they can be redeemed upon ten
days notice to the local Post Master.
They bear four per cent interest COM
pounded quarterly and have the same
security as Liberty or other govern
ment bond.
II Is the idea of the government to
enlist every person of the United
States in this great war we are fight
ing, and the War Savings Stamps
give an opportunity for service to
those who cannot go to the front.
Nevadas quota is two million dollars
for the year 1918, which means eight
hundred do lars a week for Douglas
county. This means that every per-
son In the county is responsible for
forty cents per week invested In War
Savings Stamps. Forty cents per
week does not mean a great deal to
any one individual but 1t does ma,n
that of each person buys an average
OF two Thrift Stamps week tina.
Douglas county goes ovei the top
again as she has done before. The
various schools of the county have
taken up the sale of stamps and next
week they will have a report as to
the progress they are making. Doug
las County High School has set
seventy-five cents per capita as their
weekly quota and last week exceeded
this somewhat wEen they bought
ffty-two dollars worn of lamps.
1t Is to be hoped tat the sale of
these Baby Liberty Bonds" will re-
ceive the earnest attention of the peo-
pie of Douglas county as 1t has the
people of the entire United States.
The criterion of their increased
popularity is shown by the fact that
in December scarcely fifty thousand
dollars day were sold throughout
the country whi late reort shows
daily sale now of approximately two
million dollars.
