DEATH OF DWIGHT lEAV|TT|
From the Yerington Times

crOm tne 1ef1ngtOn Times
! The sad death of James Dwight
Leavitt shocked the whole valley
when the message was received that
ne had succumbed to pneumonia fol-
lowing the influenza. With a mothe, s
prescience, Mrs. Leayitt had troubled
hours on Thursday morning and her
fears were confirmed by the message
in the morning from Mrs. Dwight
saying that the doctors had given up
hope of his recovery. The final mes
sage that he was gone nearly pros
trated this pioneer mother who
reared six sons to manhood.
Dwight was born here in Yering-
ton. Dec. 18. 1885, the fifth son of
DR.. and Mrs. G. l. Leavitt. He grew
up here. attended the public school,
fished and hunted and played marbles
with the men who to-day are griev-
ing over his untimely end. He was
all boy and was greatly beloved in
the city of his birth. He was gradu-
ated from the University of Nevada,
class Of 1908, of which class Miss
Suzie Rand, who became his wife,
was also a member.
Three children were born to them,
Dwight Jr., aged eight; Charles Al
len. aged six; and Lowell Rand, aged
three. The hearts of the valley go
out to the stricken family. to these
little ones left fatherless, to the sor-
rowing wife and aged mother.
After finishing his course Mr..
Leavitt joined the force of the
Truckee River General Electric Com
pany, by whom he was held in high
esteem. Last May he went east to
the Hog Island shipyard for the
Stone Webster Company. He was
made assistant foreman of a section
in charge of the work on ten ships
and was in line for splendid posi-
ton when the grim reaper laid his
hand on him.
He was member of the Virginia
City Lodge of Masons, was a past
Patron of the Eastern Star, and a
member of T. H. P. o. of the Uni
versity of Nevada where he was a
star football man.
The family has been badly scat
tered during the last year, Melville
is in Philadelphia at the same yard,
DR.. G. E. Leavitt is in France. DR..
Edgar is in San Francisco and Louis
is in Siam.

Drastic Restaurant
Rules Necessary

Zone hunderd and twenty million
Allies must be fed by America. runs
the slogan of the food administration
in explaining and justifying the new
Twelve General Orders" issued last
week for the guidance of all rest
aurants, hotels. boarding houses and
all other places where food is sold for
eating on the premises.
1T must not be thought that these
Twelve General Rules are in the ma
ture of requests for voluntary COM
pliance on the part of eating houses,
said the Federal Food Administrator
for Nevada. They are strict orders,
in effect throughout the Uuited States
and enforceable under all the au-
thority of the Food Control Act OF
August 10, 1917. Nevada restaur-
ants and hotels of whatever class are
warned solemnly that this State is
going to do her part. and as usual
more than her part, in helping to
feed these hundred and twenty mill
lion. dependents of ours in starving
Europe. This means that any vio-
lation of any of the twelve general
rules which have been sent to all
eating houses, will result in strict
penalties rigidly enforced. If you
are not familiar with these rules. it
| is best to see your county food ad-
ministratOr at once.

What Do You Think Is My Sharel
By BRUCE BARTON

He Is a conscientious gentleman, who honestly
wants to do right. And he came to me shaking
his head.
II want to do my full part in this United War
Work Campaign" he said. "Do you think 4
hundred dollars is my sharei''
And told him that it would be hard for
anyone but himself to decide. "There are %
many different ways Of looking at money"
said.
A hundred and seventy millions looks big At
first glance 1t is forty times what Jefferson
gave for the Louisiana territory.
It's dollar and seventy cents for every man,
woman and child in the land; it's more than
eight dollars and half for every household.
ION the basis Of dollars and cents. Or you can
figure it on the basis Of boys"
"Of boysr he questioned. II do not under
stand"
t'sless than fifteen cents day for each Of our
soldiers and sailors" answered. Fifteen cent.
day to give them warmth and comfort and
entertainment, and lectures, and games, and the
thought of mother and Of God.
Fifteen cents day for boy: two for \
quarter day. How many boys will you
takep' aa- f.. ....
And his eyes kindled. "1 think could take
ten at least" he said. He drew his check book
out.
"Figure it out and tell me the price," he said.
81 want you to give them the best you've got.
What is it going to costl
"-for ten boys, for year, at two for quartss
dayr
So figured it out for him: suppose you figure
it out for yourself.

THEPRESl)ENT MAKES AN
 APPEAL
Offers to Buy Another Bond and Wants American American People to
 Match Him

Rev. c. M. Van Marter, local chair. man of the 4-minute men, received the following message this morning from MT. Blair, head of the national com mittee of the 4-minute speakers.
 President Wilson, realizing the vii tai necessity of increasing the number and size of individual subscriptions, says he has already bought to the limit but offers to buy ONE MORE fifty dollar bond on the installment plan, at the rate of seventeen cents daily, and asks how many in all American audiences will match him for new or additional subscriptions.
 His offer is being made simultane- ously to every meeting in America just as if he were present. All speak CTS are urged to pound this fact hard at every meeting and secure MORE subscriptions
 Ketchikan has been urged to treble her quota or raise $16S,000. She has already raised $125,O00 and has only one day left in which to make $43,000. It is not impossible, S56,O00 was raised in an hour, why not S43,000 in day! If Ketchikan trebles her quota, she will have bought bonds at the rate Of one person out of every four, an average which has as yet been reach ed by only one town in the United States, the home of the kid sister" of Secretary Redfeld Spokane has nearly reached this average and for Ketchikan, to even attempt it would make it known from ocean to ocean! One more supreme effort must be made, sacrifices even, and Ketchikan will be lover the top with Old Glory.

Sec. Redfe|d Authorizes Appointment of Agent
 to Market Wasted Fish

The Ketchikan session of the Amer ican-Canadian Fisheries conference was opened yesterday morning at the Courthouse, by brief address of wei come by Judge Robert w. Jennings which was responded to by Secretary Redfield and Chief Justice J. Douglas Hazen, of New Brunswick Both the Secretary and MT. Hagen spoke at length on the history of the fisheries controversy which has been the cause of friction between the two neighbor- mig nations for the past 40 years, bringing the matter up to date and showing >how the present conference was the outcome of the mutual desire on the part of both to remove this bone of contention for the period of the war at least, after which time a permanent arrangement could be made
 The main issue before the confer ence in southeastern Alaska and nor thern B. C., is the preservation of the halibut, and with this in mind the con ference invited views of the halibut fishermen present to. express their views as to the best method of carry ing this out, in way which would to the fishermen. All seemed agreed that a closed season for halibut dur ing the spawning months, from Mo- vember. 15 to March 15, or at least three of these months, would solve the question: Another reason urged for closed season at this period was that during the past two years fifty fishermen have lost their lives during those months, and that fishing during of gear, due to stormy and otherwise severe weather. and that if closed season is necessary, these months would be preferable.
 Deputy Collector of Customs M. S. Dobbs and Jno. R. Beegle, formerly collector were called upon to explain the custom prevalent at tials tiuIO. in which U. s. Statute 3109, which re- Guires thas Canadian fishing vessels stop here and report and which had been interpreted all these years to mean that the vessels should enter and clear. It was shown later that in the Federal Reporter an article stated that fishing vessels passing casually by did not need to enter and clear, and Mir. Dobhs was advised get into com munication with Washington on that matter. On the Atlantic this prac- tice is the reverse and the conference will endeayor to make it uniform at the final hearing in Ottawa.
 In response to request from the commissioners to hear of the rela- tions existing between Ketchikan, Prince Rupert and the Grnad Trunk, Mir J. c. Barber, president of the Com mercial Club, read two briefs which he presented to the commission touch ing upon the closed season for hali- but and the handling of fish for the American markets. MT. Beegle urged that no legislation be enacted at this time.
 Secretary Redfeld stated that the questions presented by Mir Barber could not be considered from the standpoint of the Pacific alone, and that the real consideration was the food supply of the American people.
