On one or two occasions the band
has been modified hastily during bust
ness hours. On these occasions, Drum
Major Hooper. as-soon as he got the
call, promised his band. He called
each member on the telephone. And
it is with pride that he points to the
prompt response of the men. They
left their own work, in many eases at
a personal financial sacrifice, in order
to lend whatever help they might to
the thing that was afoot.
Just recently Drum Major Hooper

that invitation and any Boy Scout
wishing to acquire the art of the sound
ing an army bugle need only appear
at the weekly practice of the band
and his desires will be fulfilled.

ELKS NET A HANDSOME SUM
FOR j. S. BY SELLING STAMPS

1t was all one way. The Tonopah
boys were too generous to rob their
guests OF the honors so they let the
Reno Elks take yesterdays game of
baseball by any old score they
wished to register. The turn out of
spectators was good considering the
intense heat and the fact that there
was no shelter from the burning
rays of the sun except for those who
had their own autos. From the start
there was no doubt about the result,
as the visiting team was in fine
trim after playing steadily for nine
days against the best teams in the
state. Joe Hutchinson and his wheel
came in for their full share of
patronage< The novelty of the pro
ceeding and the additional incentive
that a man might be a patriot and
make a stake through securing a
lucky number that paid nearly twenty
for one induced the crowd to turn
loose and patronize the dealer. This
phase of the program was renewed
on Main street after everybody had
chance to freshen up the inner
man and later in the night when
the dance at the Airdome was in full
swing the wheel was transported to
that center with the result that sew
eral hundred dollars Of war savings
stamps were disposed of before mid
night. The total of the days business
netted the government about $500

cover expenses all Of which were de-
frayed by the visiting Elks

When the mine whistles turned

The list in Nye county has been ex-
hausted and any further calls FOR
conseripts must come from the de-
ferred classifications and the re-
classified men whose names have
been certified back from the adjutant
generals office as eligible.
The only change in the list of re-
cruits mentioned in the Bonanza yes
