waited continuously for thousands of

Gently as guests of the ministry of

URGENT NEEO FOR
UNSMLLED LABORERS

The State Council of Defense of
Nevada has been notified by the
Government that there is a present
shortage of 1,000,0 900 unskilled la
borers in war industries, with a ire
mendous additional shortage coming
as soon as the new army draft ex-
pansion increases the need for sup
plies. The skilled labor situation is
equally serious.
Nevada's revised quota of un-
skilled laborers required is 1880 men.
Director Knight of the Public Ser
vice Reserve estimates that of Ne
vada's quota Of 1880 men probably
500 can be held over in this State,
but that at least 1000 Of them must
actually be sent out to meet the de-
mands of the Government.
Serious as this may seem. Direct
or Knight says in his telegram to
the State Council of Defense, it is
unavoidable and you are urged to
give your best energies to the end
that Nevada may again fulfill her
obligations to the Nation.

Shortage of Commercial Teachers

Reno Gazette: A scarcity of teach
ers for high and grade schools in Ne
vada is giving the school authorities
considerable worry now, according to
George E. McCracken, deputy super
intendent Of schools in the fourth
district. Teachers for the elemen-
tary schools are plentiful. he says,
but there is a pronounced shortage
OF commercial teachers who can GER
tify under the present State law. The
shortage is so great. declares Mr.. Nc
Cracker, that there is serious doubt
of some of the high schools being
able to handle the commercial work
when school opens next month.

CHURCH IS STRIPPED
FOR ACTION IN LOAN
DECLARES A MINISTER
Ornaments Must Be Laid Aside, Pres
byterian Pastor Declares In
Notable Sermon.

The children of Israel stripped them
selves Of their ornaments from Mt
Horeb onward" quoted Rev. DR.. G. A.
Hubert In Fourth Liberty Loan SER
mon last Sunday at Kingshighway
Presbyterian Church, st. Louis. The
text was from Exodus 1855.
"The children of Israel faced the
challenge of the crisis and prepared to
meet it. This is the day when in the
church, as well as in state, 'orna-
ments' must be laid aside. Secondary
things must take secondary places.
"The state is fighting to make the
world safe for democracy. The
church's business is to make democ-
racy safe for the world. 1t is the only
organization which can do that thing.
No other agency has it in its power to
bring this about.
"A man, to be safe in a democracy,
must have motives which are always
prompted by the right Whoever has
not these is dangerous citizen for a
democracy.
THE church's business is to save
men from sin, but that is not all.
Quite as much It Is the business of the
church to save them to righteousness
and righteousness is active, not pas
! siYe.
We may sit and sing our souls
away. but we can never sit and sing
them away to everlasting bliss. Today
the church Is at Mt. Horeb. Her chal-
lenge Is unmfstakable. She alone has
the equipment. She has always be.
heved in preparedness for her con.
quests. She must assume the often.
sive,. and no longer doubt her right to
lead the world in moral and spiritual
ideals
DR.. Hubert made a plea for the
church to master the worlds of educa-
ton, Christian culture as against mere
culture, politics in that unselfish serv.
ice shall be the mark of worthiness OF
leaders, industry that life may be con.
served, the play, the home and the

assume the task. She must strip her

FAVOR REGISTERED BONDS
These Securities Possess Many 4Ad
xantages Over the Coupon
Bonds. 9

In recent weeks there has been a
heavy movement to convert coupon
bonds into registered bonds. This
course is encouraged and advised by
government officials at Washington,
the registration feature involving nu.
merous valuable advantages of safety
and facility. For holders who have
purchased to get an income from their
investment, and hold indefinitely. reg.
istered bonds are undoubtedly the
proper form OF security.
The easiest and safest way for the
purchaser to register his bonds is to
take them to his banker, who will for.
ward them to the Federal Reserve
Bank for registration.
With the registered bonds all risk
and possibility of loss by theft is oh.
Waited. This class of bonds is not
negotiable. save with the signature and
consent Of the owner. The interest is
mailed by the Treasury Department
on maturity days, so that the holders
have not even the trouble of clipping
and banking coupons. The procedure
Is the same as with stock dividends,
the owner holding the certificate and
the owning company mailing out div
dend checks.
There Is never failure to earn the
interest or default in payment. So
long as our government lasts the reg.
.ular interest installments will come
along, and at the end of the term
through which the bonds run the prin-
cipal will be paid in full. No annuity
arrangement with private corpora,
ton can be more satisfactory.

new award to be made. and it is ex.
pected that plants and organizations
of all kinds will enter into the spirit
that the coming of the pennant will
suggest The number of individual
subscriptions is expected to increase
largely on account of the pennants.
Window cardboard emblems to indi-
cate the percentage attained by indus
tries will be furnished, and those who
make the rs per cent required viii be
permitted to purchase through the
local Liberty Loan Organization the

Both the honor flag and pennant are
protected by patents, SO that they can
not be reproduced or used without
permission from the local Liberty
