AMERICAN TROOPS ARE
FIGHTING NEAR HANGARD

Washington. April 25.-American
troops are believed to be engaged in
the fighting around Hangard. The
official statement from Paris last
night styled this portion of the line
the Franco-American front, confirm
ing the impression here that some
part of General Pershings forces
have been assigned with French corps
in that vicinity.
The juncture of the French and
British lines apparently is some
where between Hangard and villers-
Bretonneux, captured by the Germans
yesterday.
If American troops are being used
to support and stiffen the line at this
juneture, there is every reason to be-
lieve that they have already been
heavily engaged.

CHURCHILL COUNTY OVER
THE TOP IN LOAN DRIVE
Doubles It's Quota and Receives Hon.
or and Star Flags, Total Subscrip-
tions $f32, $50

Once again Churchill County has
proven its readiness to respond to
the war demands as the result of the
Third Liberty Loan drive in the
county has brought honors from
Washington in the shape of an honor
flag and a star flag.
The first signifies that the county
rad exceeded its quota of subscrip-
lions to the loan and the latter that
this had been doubled, in fact the
county went over the top to the ex-
tent of $4,000. the quota for the
county being $4,000 and the
amount subscribed s132,S5O.
OF this sum s56.OOO was sub
scribed by corporations, $4,000 by
the Wonder Mining Co., in Philadel-
phia which sum is credited TO Church
ill county through the fact that the
revenue Of the company is derived
here.
The balance was therefore sub
seribed in smaller sums, S55,550 be-
ing subscribed through the Churchill
County bank by SIS subscribers and
S21. 800 through the Bank of Fallon
0y S2S subscribers.
Both banks report that at least SO
per cent of the subscriptions were

cooperation of the Women's Liberty
Loan Committee, the many young
ladies' of the High School who were
most active, the Boy Scouts, and the
officials of the Wonder Mining Co.,

OPENING OF CARSON LAKE
LANDS LAST THURSDAY
Result Disappointing Only Four APP
plicants; Responsibility Laid to
Lack of District Organization

Last Thursday the lands adjoining
Carson Lake representing 1895
acres, were thrown open for pub
iic entry and notwithstanding a
large portion of this acreage had
been prepared by the government the
result of the applications was ex-
tremely disappointing to the govern
ment officials.
Four applications were filed for
two units and from the many in
quiries received at the Reclamation
Office during the past weeks it was
believed that the. entire acreage
would be filed upon, but results neg
atived this belief.
In seeking for an explanation
Project Manager Richardson states
unequivocally that there is not
shadow of a doubt that the lack of a
District Drainage organ ization is re-
sponsible for the failure of this ef-
fort of the government to open up
these splendidly prepared units to
settlers.
No expense had been spared in the
'eveling and complete preparation of
II of these units, they being in per-
feet condition for seeding.
The unsatisfactory outcome of this
long g-looked d-forwardto land opening
is of interest to the entire valley and
offers food for serious reflection to
every settler on the project and re-
calls the recent warning of DR.. FL
wood Mead that without District
the Federal Loan Banks
will not advance loans on acreage on
any project.

City Council Takes No Action
MEATLESS OR PORKLESS
DAYS ARE CALLED OFF

Until further notice, meatless or
porkless days will be discontinued in
Nevada, according to the latest ord
er of the state food administration.
Owing to unusual run of hogs to
market, car shortage during the past
winter, which still continues, limited
storaged facilities, overseas transpor-
tation and port facilities and the fact
ihat we have a large supply of pota-
toes and milk, the temporary re-
moval of meat restrictions should as
sist in enlarged savings in bread
stuffs.
This does not constitute a depart
ure from the general principle of
conservation as the need of food on
the other side and the need of econ
omy in America is greater than ever.

IRRIGATION DISTRICT MEETS
With PARALYzINC APATHY
Failure to File Necessary Bond Com
pels Commissioners to Post
pone Consideration

Last Monday was the day set apart
for the perfecting of the plans for
an Irrigation District the matter ae-
cording to law coming before the
Board of Commissioners
Judge l.. n. French, who had
charge of the legal aspects of the
matter, was present and was keenly
disappointed in learning that the all
important question of preparing a
suitable bond had been neglected.
1t was brought out in the course of
the meeting that Mr.. l. H. Kent be-
fore leaving for California had left
a bond with his signature attached
expressing his belief at the time
that the other details demanded by
law would be at once taken Up and
the entire proposition be put before
the farmers of the valley for their
adoption.
The apathy displayed by the ranch
ers of the valley in a matter of the
most vital interest to them is incom-
prehensible.
From authoritative sources comes a
warning that it will be well for ev-
cry farmer to heed, namely, that IL
a district organization is not per-
fected in the near future it will no
longer be possible to secure drainage
in this valley free of interest charg-
es in addition to the natural deter
ioration of land lacking this es-
sential.
There is unquestionably large
number of settlers anxious for dis
trict organization but the failure of
the whole matter thus far seems to
lie in the lack of personal effort and
in the willingness of many to per-
nit their neighbors to assume the
labor involved in the matter.
