primarily conceived for the purpose Of

and adjusting such with equaity TO all.

as well as each tavpa?e, contributed

R0YS ARE SAFE

William, Lyle, Coldin and Samuel
Mclnnis marched away from Nevada
last winter with France as their final
destination and, unless the unexpect-
ed happens. they will all come march
ing home again as sound in body as
when they left. ALI sorts of rumors
have been rife during the past month
as to their fate and 1t was even re-
ported that two of them had been
killed. A letter from them was re-
ceived Wednesday by Mrs. Lisle Jami-
son, saying that they were all safe, re-
ports the Gazette.
Sam McInnis has been gassed
slightly and in the hospital but is now
recovered. The otaer three belonged
to the same machine gun company and
went through the terrific fighting of
the American drive en- Sedan without
a scratch. Sam beiongen to an engi-
neer's corps attached to their regiment
The career of ths McInnis boys has
been followed with great interest by
their frineds in Nevada because the
four left almost the same time and
have been together through the fight
ing. They are members of the famous
Ninetyfirst division.
Before their enlistment Lyle and
Coldin We're employed at Minden,
while Will held 4 position with the
Truckee River Electric company and

Urges Use of
Victory Flour

To the end that stocks of Yictroy
and other substitute aours may be uti-
iized without waste, the Federal Food
Administration for Nevada has request
ed all housewives, bakers and restau-
rants TO continue the purchase and
use OF substitutes TO be used at their
convenience and in any quantities they
desire. Such use Is not mandatory
but is necessary il view of the utter
criminality of food waste under pres
ent conditions OF world shortage.
'Starke famine Is blighting half the
world" runs the rood Administration
statement, "and no loyal citizen OF
Nevada is willing for the small stocks
of substitute fiouss in the hands of our
grocers to spoil and be wasted In SC
far as this waste occurs. just so far
are We guilty of Withholding food
stuffs from starving millions. And
exactly as we meet our present press
ing obligations to save and send food
just so will we be judged by future
generations as having done our duty
to humanity. True, some of these
other hours cost slightly more than
wheat, but the quantities are SO small
and the time during which it will be
necessary for NC 10 use them, SO short
that the difference is not appreciable.
Let us meet this small demand, as we
have met all others"

At Vahaua

The much debcted question as to
whether men or women feel most
severely the terrible burden of war
hase been thoughtfully touched upon
in the tremendously patriotic picture
THE Thing We Love-" which every
American man, woman and child
ought to see and think about. The
question is as old as war itself and the
nearest solution that we have ever
seemed to reach is that it usually falls
equally heavy upon the shoulders of
all. This is only one of the many
present-day problems in The Thing
We Love-" which will be featured at

At asst, Lima Cavalieri on the
screen. For several years patrons of
the high class photoplay have hoped
that the famous diva would follow the

ability as an actress. Lima Cavalieri
long known as the most beautiful
woman in Europe has at last taken
her rightful position as one of the
most beautiful women of the films.

LAND CLASSIFICATIONS

State and county governments are

on property, including both real and
personal belongings. The form of
levying such taxes vary in different

1usting land classifications and the

classes in Douglas county, or at least
that is the general belief of those who
claim to know. Yet the tax records

of first class agricultural land assess
ed ats243,00 against Douglas County 5
3.S44 acres assessed at s300,960.

PART TWO.

For the steadying and facilitation of our own domestic business read justments nothing is more important than the immediate determination of the taxes that are to be levied for 1918, 1919 and 1920. AS much of the burden of taxation must be lifted from business as sound methods of financing the Government will per init, and those who conduct the great essential industries of the country must be told as exactly as possible what obligations to the Government they will be expected to meet in the year, immediately ahead of them. It will be a serious consequence to the country to delay removing all un- certainties in this matter single day 1 longer than the right processes of de- bate justify. It is idle to talk of sue cessful and confident business recon struct:Dn before those uncertainties are resolved.
 If the war had continued it would have been necessary to raise at least eight billion dollars by taxation, pay able in the year 1919; but the war has ended, and I am agreed with the Sec retary ot the Treasury that it will be { lions. An immediate rapid decline in the expenses of the Government is not to be booked for. Contracts made for war supplies will, indeed, be rap idly cancelled and liquidated, but their immediate liquidation will make heavy drains on the Treasury for the months just ahead of us. The maintenance of our forces on the other side of the sea is still necessary. A considerable proportion of those forces must re- main in Europe durig the period of brought home will be transported and demobflized at heavy expense for months to come. The interest on our war debt must of course be paid and
 provisions made for the retirement o1 the obligations of the Government which represent it. But these de- mands will of course fall much below what a continuation of military opera tions would have entailed, and six billions should suffice to supply a sound foundation for the financial operations of the year.
