There were As men turned out last
Sunday afternoon and drilled for two
hours in the facings and preliminary
squad movements.
The spirit with which they worked
in the afternoon sun was one to make
any community feel proud and the on
ly thing now to be done is to get
everybody out who can possibly spare
the time
This is patriotic organization and
any citizen OF the United States or
her allies, over sixteen years OF age.
is eligible to membership.
This body is under infantry drilt
regulations at all times when on the
drill ground, but it is not a military
unit to turn out at time of strike or
labor trouble. Its object is to give
its members knowledge of military
drill and tactics now practiced in
the Z. 5. Army, and incidentally for
the purpose of home protection. Its
moral effect upon the residents of
this district will be to help wipe out
any attempt of German propaganda
to poison the minds of any of its citi-
Zens.
The committee that was appointed
to draw up constitution and by
laws reported on the drill ground at
the end of drill and the proposed con-
stitution and bylaws were read for
the members to think over during the
week, and to be either adopted or
rejected next Sunday afternoon by
the organization.
All men who are interested can
sign the resolution at the Lyon
County Bank or come out and fall
IN with the rest at the Court House
next Sunday at 2 m. for drill.
1t makes no difference whether YOU
have had any drill before or not there
Will be some one there who is compe-
tent to teach you. And if you have
drilled it is all the more reason YOU
should get out and help the rest.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATED.

That Mason Valley observed In
dependence Day in way that was be-
fitting to this particular year, was ev-
idenced by the many picnicing par
ties which spent the day out with
nature, where the murmur OF the riv-
er drove all business cares and worry
away, while others enjoyed them
selves under nearby shade trees.
Many autoed up the river to the
Morgan ranch, while others drove up
into the Wilson Canyon. and large
gathering enjoyed the outing at Geo.
Wilson's home ranch. Some went to
Reno and spent the day.
At the Wilson ranch 100 or more
gathered from all parts of the valley
and a general feeling of fellowship
and neighborliness prevailed. About
noon lunches were spread on the
lawn at the Wilson home, and with
much merry-making dinner was eaten
Later in the afternoon ice-cream and
lemonade was served to all present
in large quantities and with a frequen
cy measured only by individual cap
acity.
Shortly after lunch DR.. Dixon ad
dressed the gathering and as usual,
forcibly struck the patriotic chords,
which met with hearty applause. All
joined in singing America" and the
remainder of the afternoon was spent
in visiting.
However. the Ladies of the Red
Cross of the south end OF Mason Val
ley did not fail to take advantage OF
the occasion and during the course of
the afternoon ratified off quilt which
netted the organization $23.75. The
quilt was won by Master Jack Nc
Gowan, who returned it to the Red
Cross with instructions that it be sent
to France
In Yerington a parade was the
main attraction of the afternoon. and
it may truthfully be said that the or
iginators were artists and acted well
their parts. We understand that the
wild man from Africa was there. while
the clowns, red men, and Hawaiian

CHILD WELFARE.

The Children's Bureau Of the Y. >.
Department OF Labor has asked the
men and women who are working to
win the war not to forget the war
time needs Of all Americas children
whether their fathers ar fighting for
their country in trenches in France
or here behind the lines 1t asks that
tn protection given all of Americas
children be increased now when the
foundations of the countrys future
strength and Of democracy are being
laid, for, The health OF the child Is
the power of the nation This war
time work for children is called Chill
dren's Year Its goal is to save the
lives OF 100000 children under five
years OF age during the second year
of the war This means the saving Of
one-third of the three hundred thous-
and lives of children under five which
are lost every year in the United
States. Authorities agree that al least
half of these deaths could be pre-
vented if knowledge of the best mod
ern methods of child care and facil-
tiles for following out the directions
given by skilled specialists were ac
cessible to all children instead OF to
comparatively few. If America can
prevent even part of these deaths
she will have demonstrated her abil-
ity to get for her children better
chance of life and health.
All cards of registration, when COM
pleted by the community Chairmen
are to be taken or sent to Evelyn
Hayes office, Yerington, that the work
may be checked up for further child
welfare work within the county by the
Farm Bureau
The registering, measuring and
weighing of every child under five
years of age in this county is to be
completed by July 10th. Since this
work is carried on by the Farm Bu-
reau, the women who are members
of this organization are asked to aid
