To tear 1t down, which request was

lowed II up with requ 81 that he pull

to tacke the job. There is no excuse
for such an outly of dumps existing
upon one of the main streets of the
city. Standing within one hundred
feet more or less of the street that
carries a majority of the business
traffic of Elko these joints cry out
to the skies their filth, their useless

But II is not from the standpoint OF

at any other point. The notle red

the cracks in the ancient roofs; a
Chinese gardener disposes of his

suffer the invariable fright that Is

% THAT Day Is
Gernany's Doom"

There is simple, easy way by which every family
in the United States stand up and be cOuntcd-by
which every man, and child enlist in the hun
dred million, al-American army which the Germans
dread
One of the significant utterances made during
the entire made by prominent German official
when America cast her lot with the allies:
eve do not fear the American soldiers because they
arrive in time what fear is the intelligence and
devotion of one hundred million Americans trained to
faith in individual initiative. The day that those hundred
millions act one, that day is Germany's DOOM"
Today Germany is fighting with a new and more
desperate energy becausehe fears that the American sol
ders will arrVer in time
But Germany still refuses to believe that our hundred
million people will "act as one"
How can we prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart of the Hun? How convince the kaiser
that the day Of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend our money to our country.

If you cannot pay for it in immediate cash buy a L.
S. Thrift Stamp for % cents, and keep buying them

change them for the War Saving Stamp.
Begin to do this Save every cent you can and
put it into these stamps.
The money will be used Immediately to provide guns

 About Il o'clock on the morning of April 21 the troops along the SomIne and Ancre had heard distant popping from two fleets of British and German airplanes which had been fighting high over the German lines, when a German plane was seen diving after British plane.
 These two, detached from the fight, came so low that they were temporarily hidden from the sight of the Australian gunners and troops around them. Presently the sound of approaching engines was heard, and low over the crest of the hill !, by the river came the British plane, making directly towards a position where there were two Lewis guns.
 Behind his plane could be seen The wings of the German plane pur. suing. The German was pressing the English plane desperately close and firing short bursts from a ma chine gun.
 When about a hundred yards away from the nearest Lewis bun the Ger man plane which at first had been obscured by the British plane, wa now sufficiently clear to enable tho guns to fire on it without risk ol hitting the British machine. Botl guns fired a burst
