DRASTIC LABOR
RULE IN FORCE

Drastic regulations on the work or
light order are being sent out this
week by Nathan A. smyth, assistant
employment service OF the United
states employment service, to all
community labor boards, according to
Information received by Geo. A. Mon
trose, dire tor OF the county council
ed today to all community labor
boards instructing them to prepare
OF defense. The telegram is as fol-
lows:
The most drastic instructions ever
issued in this country are being mailed
and publish in every city in the
country lists OF non-essential POSI-
tions now held by men that could be
nlied ny women. The result will be
that men failing or refusing to get out
OF such positions OF their own accord
and take up essential work will be
looked upon as slackers.
Tine order is intended to force the
hand OF both non-essential labor and
employers thereof. Lists probably
will include clerks and office help,
ticket sellers OF all kinds, attendants
and similar occupations.
This order may ultimately become
the most drastic OF all, for community
labor boards will insist that no man
shall occupy a position which wo-
man can fill. This nation must work
or tight and the order is made neces-
sary because employers of non-es-
sential labor have in many cases fall
ed to meet the issue squarely."

NO MORE AUTO
JOY RIDING

The following communication re-
ceived by the local fuel committees
through the state from the state fuel
committee forecast the coming driving.
During the past three weeks all COM
munities east Of the Mississippi river
have voluntarily observed the suggest
tion that they refrain from pleasure
riding on Sundays.
The communication received is as
follows:
"The investigation now in progress
by the refiners of the Middle West
may result In putting into effect Of the
"gasolineless" Sunday request for the
tsrritory west of the Mississippi river.
Even though 1t may not be necessary
to make this request, l believe it to be
the duty Of everyone to voluntarily
save as much gasoline as possible.
Il, therefore. suggest that you give
publicity to the fact that it is the re-
quest Of this office that everyone OBJ
serve the strictest economy in their
use Of gasoline. The practice of per-
hitting motors to run while the car
stands at the curb should be discon-
tinued by everyone. as should also the
practice. particularly in repair shops
Of using gasoline for cleaning purpos-
es.
1.-THE conscientious observance by
everyone of q few conservation meas
ures such as those mentioned may
make unnecessary a request that no
automobiles be used fer pleasure rid
ing on Sundays.

A PUFF FOR SHERIFF NIELSEN

The state tax commission had fully
decided that Douglas county lands
were not assessed high enough and 1t
was understood that ten per cent
raise would be about the right thing.
Chris Nielsen, sheriff and assessor, got
very, very busy, and the result was
that when it came to a show down the
raise was only per cent and that
was placed on mountain lands, owned
mostly by men who can stand the
raise. Douglas county has no reason
to go back on her sheriff for he Is
always on the job.-Carson Weekly.

Liberty Loan Quota
For County $125,OOO
BY THE>COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE


cation or church for the subscriptions
received, other than TO the County
Council of Defense and Womens
Liberty Loan Committee. This action
was taken owing to the fact that In
other drives dissatisfaction arose
among the solicitors by churches and
other organizations claiming the right
to have their names stamped upon the
pledges and giving the pledges to the
church or organization instead of to
the solicitor.
The Nevada Lutheran in its last is
sue asked the members of the church
to insist that their church be given
credit for all loans taken. The Coun-
ell asks the patriotic people of the
county to disregard this notice and to
give their subscriptions to the Capt
ain or his representatives Of their res
pective districts. The banks are given
large amount of extra work by these
bond issues and cannot and will not
be bothered by these individual claims
for credit done for doing their patri-
otto duty.
1t Is hoped that every one will SUBJ
scribe all possible to this loan for this
Is critical period of the war and
your money Is needed.

HE|N|ES ARE
ON THE RUN

Simon krummes, son of Mr. and
Mrs. c. M. Krummes of Gardneryille
has taken part in the great American
drive and Is numbered among those
determined American lads who are
pushing the German hordes back on
to their own soil. The following is
taken from a letter received this week
by Mr.. and Mrs. C. NJ Krummes from
their soldier son:
You must be worried about my not
writing, for it has reilly been a long
time since | have written. The rea-
son Is that we have been moving
lately, and there has been little chance
to write. Then when we were not
moving, | had no paper on which to
write. Today we were given this
paper.
I'VE left the training school about
two or three weeks ago, traveling on
the French railroad but this time the
cars were pulled by ii locomotive and
not by horses, as | related in former
letter. Although not exactly as COM
Portable as our American cars, they
We're much better that the horse
drawn cars.
After two day ride on the train
we dismounted, In a town from which
the Germans had just been driven out
The town was very marty all blown TO
pieces and all the civilian population
driven out That night we started
out to finde the Boche, but although
we could see the fash of the artillery.
II took us three nights to catch up
with them. The first day we camped
In wood, hopclessly left behind. The
next night we moved forward again,
went into position. but the Germans
had moved so fast that we were un-
able to reach them. So, forward we
moved again, went into position,
fired few shots, but no use, they
kept moving. That night we moved
again and have been giving 1t to them
since.
Through the country over whi h
we came you can sec that they were
leaving In a hurry You can find
German hemlcts, German rifles, ma
chine guns, and large amount of both
rifle and machine gun ammunition.
Il am not up at the front right
now, but am back about three miles
from the battery. We have our hors-
es and all the men net used in actual
firing. About all the firing we see is
the anti-2ircraft guns shooting at the
enemy planes. We see between fifty
and hundred planes every day, but
of course only one or two of them are
German.
I'VE haven't received any mail for
quite while now and have received
10 newspapers SO have no idea what
Is going on, not even how the war is
progressing. We expect mail sooI.
and do hope that | receive three or
four letters from home and find that
you are all well at home."

and all served in the best of style and
with perfect etiquette by the members

and mullins - all prepared with the
skill of master cook-were spread in
plenty before the guests The dinner
served rs real demonstration of the

Alumnae Association Adopts
War Orphan in France
and Buys United States
Liberty Bond.
Meeting IS ENTHUSIASTIC

Not content with alternating suffer
ing Kenosha, the Nurses Alumnae As
ISOLATION adopted a French War
Orphan in meeting held at the
Nurses Home on Tuesday afternoon.
And that wasn't all. Believing that
there are other ways of saving lives
than by hospital treatment, the nurses
subscribed fifty dollars to the Third
Liberty Loan and thereby secured the
right to hang an Honor Flag in the
windows of their home.
The meeting was one of the most
fervid gatherings in the history of the
association. A super-zeal for Country
and Humanity characterized it's every
proceeding and made possible its pa
triotic action for America and France.
During the course of the afternoon IS
discussion considerable attention was
given to the question of a Service Flag
for the Nurses Home. The local So
ciety has two alumnae in the medical
units of the United States government
and consequently is entitled to an en-
blem emblazoned with two scarlet
crosses. These will represent Mrs.
Edna Coughlin and Miss Marie Ander-
son, both of whom are now at Lake
wood, N. j., awaiting embarkation for
France.
Near the end Of the session the pres
ent officers of the association were re-
elected for another year. They in
clude Miss Emma Kruckman, Presi-
dent; Miss Holger Petersen, Secretary,
and Miss Albertine Johnson, Treasurer.
Mrs. John Priddis and Miss IDA
Kewenig, the hostesses of the after
noon were the recipients of numerous
congratulations on the success of
their meeting. The nurses were
united in declaring it one Of the most
memorable gatherings in the history
of the society inasmuch as it had ad-
vanced the cause of the association as
well as that of America and her. Al
lies in France.

/ was creepin ON me crutches out o.
Fleet Street yesterday,
Feelin ! gay as any sparrow jest to be
about at last;
I'd quite forgot me crippled foot, me
cares, as you might sly,
When over on the Law Courts side
three laughin Trenches passei;
An haven It felt the same again since
those three Blueys passed
For the houses all grew misty with a
faint horizon blue,
While thought o. cornfowers peepin
from a blackened harvest land,
With many weary Frenchy fghtin
where those cornfowers grew;
An I've got a kind Of homesickness I
cannot understand
Since saw those little Blueys goin
laughin' down the Strand.
Oh, cottages with gapin' roofs, a.
starin at the sky,
Oh, ruin ID gardens on the Somme an
trampled banks of Aisne,
There's little left the Trenches but to
beat the Bosch or die.
I'D go back to all we hated SO, the
noise an filth an pain,
Jest to help those CHEEKY Blueys win
their little homes again!
