SHOULD BE NOMINATED.

The Banner will support former
Governor Joseph w. Folk for United
States Senator.
We shall consider the senatorial
campaign and all other political mat
tiers only in their relation to the war.
We have no heart or space this year
for any other sort of politics.
Mr.. Folk is American through and
Through. He has given notice to the
pro-Huns that he neither expects nor
desires their support. We can follow
mis- leadership without doubt of the
wisdom of our course.
Mr.. Folk ought to be nominated and
elected because his services will be
valuable to the country, both in win
ming the war, and in the national re-
adjustment, particularly of transpor-
tation matters. to follow the war.

BANKERS ARE PATRIOTIC
Are Proving Their Loyalty in Aiding
Government to Finance
the War.

The splendid spirit of patriotism
manifested by the bankers throughout
the Eighth Federal Reserve District
in previous Liberty Loan Campaigns
is being more than maintained in the
preliminary campaign for the Fourth
Loan that began June %, when the
first series of $750,000,000 of United
States Treasury Certificates of Indebt-
edness was offered to the banks.
No more patriotic and intelligent
body of men than the men comprising
the banking element exists anywhere
They make a deep study OF finance
They watched the mistakes made by
Germany and our Allies in financing
the war, and they do not hesitate to
place the stamp of approval on the
methods adopted by thu United States
Government TO avoid repetition OF the
n stakes.
This plan Of Certificates of Indebt-
edness spreads out the demand that
will be made this fall on the country
at large for the Fourth Loan, and the
money that is realized from raw mate
rails and labor will go through the
channels of commerce and return to
the country for reinVestment this fall
The certificates form the basis for
a system of credits which will relieve
the country of great strain it would
experience If the certificate plan had
not been adopted.

eral Reserve District are entering
heartily in the Governments plan t.,
dispose of the $750,000,000 United
States Treasury Certificates of Indebt
edness.
The quota for the st. Louis District
is $50, 900, 900, issued June %. Similar
offerings of the certificates, not to ex'
coed eight issues, will be made every
two weeks until the Fourth Liberty
Loan Campaign. Then these short.
term certificates, maturing October
"a, may be turned in for the long-term
Liberty Bonds.
BY the banks taking the certificates
at each offering, the money goes into
the hands of the Government, it is
expended for raw materials and for
labor, is thrown back into the chan.
nels of commerce and may be used
over and over, and the people not
made to feel the drain that would be
ielt if the entire amount We're raised
Mt one time.
The Certificates of Indebtedness
plan will relieve the Liberty Lar
Campaign to large extent and make
its success all the easier.

POPULAR WITH PEOPLE.

From the Walnut Grove Tribune.
Mr.. Folk is generally recognized in
Missouri and over the entire United
States as the fearless Governor, and
his work in the executive chair will
never be forgotten for its extensive
and intensive reforms.
Joe, as he is popularity called, is
popular with the people, as all know
on which side they will find him when
ANY question of loyalty or publicinter-
est comes up for settlement.
Judging from his record as public
officer in the past and his rank as the
highest type of manhood, one can be
safe in voting for Mr.. Folk for any
position.

The Arkansas valley OF CeIoSado

known the world over as the home

other sections of the valley have be-

Ordwsy is the home of the Pink
Meat-a cantafoupe recognized thru
out the country for their luscious
flavor and their thick meat. The
Pink Meat output in Crowley county
was handled last year principally by
the s. A. Gerard & Company, with
Fred Iifvert in charge of the local
aeas Pink Meats on the eastern

TREASON RAMPANT
IN GARONERv|lLt
GERMANS DRINK TO SINKING
OF TRANSPORT
TUSCANIA

The most traitorogs demonstration
that has ever occurred in Nevada is
said to have been held in the saloon
of Louis Dietrich at Gardnervilie
Sunday evening, when a crowd OF
Germans and German sympathizers
gathered in a great celebration OF
the sinking of the transport Tus-
CANA. Toast after toast was propos-
ed and drunk to the German cause,
the kaiser and the sinking of the
transport, according to reports.
The liquor board of Douglas coun-
ty has revoked the license of Diet
rich and the saloon is closed. The
facts of the case have been placed
before agents of the department OF
justice, Governor Boyle, Attorney
General Thatcher and the state coun-
ell of defense. Dietrich went to
Reno to consult attorneys and says
he is determined to fight the case to
a finish, but he has received little
consolation from the people of Gard
n~erville, who were already over
wrought by actions that had recent
ly occurred there.
1t is said the entire matter will be
brought to the attention Of the fed
eral grand jury.

WARNED TO
KEEP PRICES DOWN
COST OF SUBSTITUTES NO EN-
CUSE FOR BREAD
ADVANCE

Henry M. Hoyt, federal food ad-
minister for Nevada, has just issued
a statement to the bakers of Ne
yada, in which he quotes a mes
age from Herbert C. Hoover, ma
tional food administrator, warning
bakers against advancing bread
prices. Mr.. Hoyt's statement says:
To Bakers:
1 have received the following
telegram from Mr.. Herbert Hoover;
as it states very definitely the feel
ing of the food administration in
regard to those bakers who, be-
cause of the higher prices of sub
stitutes, have contemplated raising
the price of bread. it amounts prac-
tically to a prohibition of this &C
ton on their part, and l request
that it be read with are by all Ne
vada bakers:
"Rumors have reached u bak-
ing section that bakers propose
raising bread prices on account of
the price of wheat flour substitutes.
AS one barrel of flour produces on
the average 275 pound ~loaves, and
these substitutes will comprise only
Cne-fifth the flour content of Vic
tory bread, the cost of bread will be
increased less than one-tenth of a
cent per loaf for each dollar per
barrel that substitutes cost more
than flour.
1.-THE present price of substitutes
IS due to r~e-sales within the trade
in some sections; also to t%ranspor-
difficulties. We earnestly be-
ljeve that the freer movement of
grains to mills will result in lower
1t would be most %unfortu-
nate for the wheat-saving cam
paign if the introduction of Vic
tory bread we're to be ~signalized by
an advance in prices.
please inform bakers in your
state that you do not think an ad-
vance in price, due to a temporary
condition like this, is justified.

DRAFTED MAN IS
RETURNED HERE
LOUIS STEINER, SUPPOSEDLY
INSANE, SENT FROM
CAMP LEWIS

G. e. Marsh, sergeant major In
the base hospital at Camp Lewis,
American Lake, arrived here this
morning with Louis Steiner, who
left for Camp Lewis with one of
the draft contingents. Steiner is
supposedly insane and has been re-
turned to the local draft exemption
hoard by the authorities at the can
Torment.
A letter from James Duffy, one
Of the Goldfield boys now at Camp
Lewis, was recently published in
tire Tribune and in it Duffy told of
the peculiar actions of Steiner and
said medical officers believed he
vas insane. He will be kept under
observation in the Jail and it is
believed this will result in his be-
ing sent to the state hospital for
mental diseases at Reno in the
neal future.
Sergeant Marsh is in the regu-
lar army and went to Camp Lewis
in April from the Philippines. He
says that when he arrived there
conditions were rough, but that the
big cantonment is now n of the
finest equipped, If not the best, in
the country. He says it has been
raining there almost every day and
is cold, but that next summer Camp
Lewis will be a regular summer re-
sort.
The sergeant also says that Eng
lish, Irish and French instructors
at the cantonment say that the sold
iers under training there r the
finest they ever saw in any army.

After deducting funds necessary
for street cleaning and temporary

$4,000 will remain for the con-

have the money spent in securing
permanent pavement on some of the
main thoroughfares, instead Of fol-
lowing the old method Of dividing
the amount available among the six
wards for work of purely temporary
character.

GOLDF|ElO DRAFT
MEN WILL Be
TRAINED
FREE INSTRUCTION FOR WAR
SERVICE OFFERED BY
GOVERNMENT

At the request of army officials
the federal board of vocational edu-
cation has undertaken to aid the
army to secure proper training of
conscripted men as radio and buzz
ger operators before they are called
into service in the second and fol-
lowing drafts and this training work
is to be started here under direction
OF Edward Hewlett, formerly man
ager of the local Western Union
office and now with the John S.
Cook bank.
1t is planned to hold classes in
the high-school building every
ey ening except Saturday and Sun
day and notices are now being sen
to men liable to be called into the
army in the future. No charge for
instruction will be made.
The Importance of the proposed
classes is indicated by the fact that
the government is in need of $4,000
radio and buzzer operators. A draft
rcgistrant who trains himself in
this work is not only doing a SER
vice for the country, but also an
important one for himself, as when
he is called into the army at some
future date the knowledge will
mean rapid promotion and conse-
quent increase in pay.
The classes will not be open to
anyone who Is not due for service
and persons unconscripted or con-
scripted but unable to pass a ply
steal examination will not be ad-
mitted.
The maximum number of pupils
under one teacher at the beginning
of the course should not be more
than 25, according to regulations
published on the subject, and III
the membership of a class is limit
ed, preference will be given men
due for the second draft and in

SOLDIER INSURANCE
TINE IS EXTENDED
MEN IN ARMY ARE URGED TO
INSURE THEM
SELVES

The time for filing applications
for war-risk insurance, under the
United States governments plan
for insuring the lives of men in SER
vice, has been extended until April
y. according to advices received
from thes Council of National De-
tense. The method of automatical-
ly insuring men, without fOrmality
OF application, has been entirely
discontinued, and no man will be
insured unless he applies in the
regular manner.
AS it is possible that Nevada men
in the training camps will overlook
this very important matter in the
hurry of war preparation. it is urg-
cd upon their relatives and friends
that they bring every influence to
bear, so that our boys shall not go
to France uninsured.
! His act of applying for insurance
is a vital and necessary precaution.
and the war-risk insurance policy
is the best possible nest-egg for the
future of his dependents.

sporting club, recently arrived in
Reno from Truckee to spend a few
days. The Buffaloes went to Truckee
on their annual winter trip, but
finding insufficient snow and ice
there to indulge in winter sports,
they continued on to Reno, where
they we're entertained.
