we were separated when we were
assigned to our Regiments, and I
havn't seen any Of them since
leaving Camp Shelby.
There is an aviation field near
this camp, and it is a very COM
mon thing to see from twelve to
twenty aeroplanes up at one
time. It is very interesting to
watch them in their maneuvers.
It isn't hard to make friends in
the army, for as rule, the fell
lows are good natured, jolly set.
have just heard that a fellow
that | tented with at Shelby, was
arrested here this morning as q
German sympathizer. / was sorry
to hear it, because he was such a
likeable fellow, but if it be true
that he is traitor, he deserves
the worst that we can give him.
The true soldier Of Uncle Sam
hasn't any sympathy for ANYTHING
German.
We will not be in the United
States much longer. Where we
will go-is unknown, but most Of
the fellows are ready to go any
where and do anything they can
to bring this war to victorious
end.
/ am sorry I cant write you
more interesting news, but you

clod-hopper from Rankin, and no
scribe at all. Am proud Of the
fact that ] am from Rankin coun-
ty, and you can rest assured that
! am going to do my best in the
great struggle. I am ready to 60

the "mix-up" for some time. And
you can bet your bottom dollar"
that / am counting on coming
back, and when / get back, Old
Rankin will be good enough for

Well, I will have to bring this
to close. Just remember that

l. Give publicity to the activ-
ity Of the Department of Justice,
the State Council Of Defense, and
other agencies in apprehending
every deserter within the state

discourage desertion.

neighborhood where he is un-

4. Influence Community Coun-
ellis to investigate also the case Of
any unknown civilian from 81 to

find out whether he has his regis
tration, call or exemption card

country in 1908. He came to Gold

self an American and Is proud of it
and that he has no use for the
kaiser or any Of his followers. He
objects to the name he has been
given, as it leads persons who hear
him called "The Kaiser" to believe
that he is a German sympathizer.

Man USES KNIFE
SWISS ACCUSES GREEK OF
KILLING HIS PARTNER
IN GOLDFTELD

Following a quarrel in front of the
Mint saloon on lower Main street at
six o'clock last night. "Bill" Andres,
a Greek, was stabbed three times,
but not fatally injured. Adolf
Brobeck, a Swiss miner, who was
employed at the Belmont mine for
some time previous to Tuesday, was
lodged in the county Jail shortly
thereafter, charged with the crime,
although he disclaims any knowledge
concerning the cutting.
Andres received one wound on
the chest. one on the arm and one
in the back, and had the knife pene-
trated a little deeper and a little
lower, the heart would have been
encountered and death would have
resulted.
Andres was able to walk to the
police station following his encoun-
ter. A physician was called, who
ordered the injured man taken to
the county hospital, where the in
juries were dressed. 1t was stated
last night that unless pneumonia de-
veloped Andres would make a speedy
recovery.
1t was ascertained late last night
that Brobeck was intoxicated and &C
costed Andres in a restaurant, &C
cused him of having killed his
partner in Goldfield last week. He
evidently had reference to the hold
up wherein John Graf vas shot to
death.-Tonopah Times.

REGULATIONS
GIVEN BY HOOVER IN
new Home CARD

The Washington office of the food administration wish'
0 have published the wording of the new home card, as 10
1ws:
The food administration asks every loyal American
to helm win the war by maintaining rigidly as a mini
mum of saving the following program:
Have two wheatless days, Monday and Wednes-
dav in every week and one wheatless meal in every day.
Explanation-On wheatless days and in wheatless
meals of other days use no crackers, pastry, macaronl,
breakfast food or other cereal food containing wheat and
use no wheat flour in any form except the small amount
that may be needed for thickening soups or gravies or
or for a binder in corn bread and other cereal breads.
AS to bread, if you bake it at home, use other cereals
than wheat, and if you buy it, buy only victory bread"
Our object is that we should buy and consume one-thlrd
less wheat products than we did last year.
Have one meatless day Tuesday, in every week and
one meatless meal every day. Not effective in Nevada
until March 49,
Have two porkless days TUESDAY and Saturday, in
every week.
Observation-Disclosures, without any cattle, hog or
sheep products. On other days use mutton and lamb in
preference to beef or pork. Porkless means without
pork, bacon, ham, lard or pork products, fresh or pre-
seved. Use fish, poultry and eggs. AS a nation we eat
and waste nearly twice as much meat as we need.
Make every day a fat-saving day (butter, lard, lard
substances, etc.
Explanation-Fry less, bake, broil or stew foods in
stead. Save meat drippings, use them as vegetable oils
for cooking instead of butter. Butter has food value
vital to children, therefore give it to them. Use it only
on the table. Waste no soap; it is made from fat Be
careful of all fats. We use and waste two and one-half
times as much fat as we need.
Use fruits, vegetables and potatoes abundantly.
Explanation-These foods are healthful and plenti-
full and at the same time partly take the place of other
foods which we must have. Raise all you can for home
use.
Use milk wisely.
Explanation-Use all of the milk, waste no part Of
it. The children must have whole milk. Use sour milk
and skim milk in cooking and for cottage cheese.
boarding food-Anyone buying and holding a larger
supply of food now than in peace time, except foods
canned, dried or preserved in the home, is helping to de-
feat the food administration in its attempt to secure just
distribution of food and the establishment of fair prices.
The food hoarder is working against the common good
and even against the very safety of the country. Hoard
ing food in households is both selfish and unnecessary.
The government is protecting the food supply of its
people.

Food Administrator for Nevada.
