URGES INSURANCE
OF NEVADA SOLDIERS

The family of every man who has
entered the army or navy from Nevada
should be protected by the war life
insurance offered at extremely low
rates by the government.
Uncle Sam is anxious to issue such
a policy to every enlisted and selected
men and has called upon the Nevada
State Council of Defense to urge every
family TO insist upon the son or father
taking out this form of war insurance.
The time for issuing soldiers and
sailors insurance expires February
II and one million men yet remain un.
protected
This action is taken not only foI
the protection of dependents at home
but in order to remove from the fight
ing men in France every possibl,
source of worry. Those who stay a
home are therefor urged to insist up
on war insurance being taken out i'm
mediately as the time is short.

This was the announcement issued
late yesterday from the Office III State
Director Fred L. White.
Although figures for the entire
state were not given 1t was announced
that three Nevada towns lead all
other cities and towns throughout

fee of State Director Fred l.. White,
Round Mountain leads the cities of
the union with sales of more than Sc
per capita.
Good Springs comes next with about
$3.50 per capita and GoIdfeld third
with sales of almost exactly 81 for
each person.
Nevada's quota in w. s. S. stamps
for 1918 is S2,225,6S0. This means
that more than $4,000 per week in

end of this mont hit Is expected that
the entire state organization will be
complete and working like a we'll oiled

Reno school children have already
set high mark in the campaign. 1t
was announced last night that an
average of 81 per capita among
school children has already been
reached in the first two weeks of the

their quota of about $50 per capita

. Figures for the city of Reno proper
have not yet been compiled. The
trade unions of the city, however. ar,
entering the campaign with a vigo,
that seems as yet unsurpassed wheI
the various other war time drive:
are considered.
The Reno trades and labor counci
and the Washoe county building
trades council have each instructed
all delegates TO bring before eacl
union as a special order OF business
the matter of setting aside "revov
ing fund" for the purchase and sale
of war saving stamps.
At each meeting of the union tht
treasurer is instructed to offer thrift
stamps and war stamps to the mem
BEES. A fund of S25 to $50 carried
as cash on the accounts Of the unions
is sufficient for all purposes, tbs
stamps being replenished from tins

and organizations in the city will now
cooperate to maintai nthe lead of the
state in the sale of w. S. S. stamps
