A WAR HOSPITAL FOR
NEVADA.

Since the first Liberty Bonds were
placed on sale Nevada has spent tor
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps
and various war funds approximately
sl4.OOO,OOO. During that time the net
income of the state has been approx
imately S7,500,0OO, or about one hall
the outlay for war funds of one sort
or another. During that time hardly
a cent has come back to the state.
After canvassing the possibilities
interested men from all over the state
concluded that hospital for conwai-
escent soldiers and sailors would be
the thing to ask for, as it seemed to
be the thing we could get.
Such an institution, coming to New
ada, will mean material return 10
,he state. Today a four zone hospital
is being erected in Denver, Colorado.
Nevada can, if she will go after 1t,
secure such an institution Tor TINS
state. 1t would not, of course, re-
turn Nevada's entire investment IN
various war funds, but it would act TO
give her people some relief from the
burdens they are carrying.
To carry on the work incident TO
getting this hospital for Nevada some
slight expense will be necessary and
the Association has concluded Nat,
for the present at least, SIS from each
county will suffice. In order that the
work may go on with the rush that
should be given it, the Association

D.C.D HIGHWAY CONVENTION
Canarian Booster Says Lamar Can
Look for Record Crowd
July 3 and 10.

F. r. Jameson of the Canadian Re-
cord was here several days last week
getting up the log book for the DC
d. Highway for this season. He said
Lamar had them all beat for genuine
boosting and enthusiasm, and the
towns reputation would attract re-
cord crowd here at the D-C-D conven-
ton on July 9th and 10th. He pre-
dicted no less than one thousand cars
of visitors here for the occasion. The
Texas delegation alone will bring half
that number. Governor Williams Of
Texas and one United States Senator
have already notified the Canadian
boosters that they will be with the
delegation. Lamar will be ready for
them, and the more that come the big
ger the time everybody will have. Mr..
Jameson says that the travel along
the D-C-D will be far greater than
last year and he is getting out over
double the number of log books that
he issued last season. A letter re-
ceived from him by local parties since
his return says that the roads were
bad owing to the rains but more work
was being done on them than ever be-
fore. The letter contained a picture
of the Canadian Red Cross goat which
sold for S6ss recsntly.

LAMAR BOOSTERS
AT SPRINGFIELD
Putting Baca County over The Top
With Pr0wers County.

Lamar's stock has gone up 100 per
cent with the Baca county people since
District Chairman Mclean and his
squad of Liberty Loan boosters invad-
ed Springfield Wednesday and helped
put the county more than so per cent
over the top in the 3rd Bond Drive.
The local delegation found that only
SIT, 900 of the necessary $4,000 for
the county, had been raised in the
nearly two weeks of campaign. But
they were undaunted. And while the
assembled multitudcs were still as
phyxiated by the oratory of Messrs
Hasty, johnson, Beavers, Cochran,
Williams and others, Chairman Nc
Lean and the local workers separated
them from over s17,000-and in re-
turn gave them receipts representing
Uncle Sans Liberty Bonds, the saf-
est investment on the earth.
The effect did not wear off with the
adjournment of the outdoor meeting,
either. Before the sun had set. over
$4,000 was marked up to the credit
Of the Baca county committee.

e. saturday by the county Liberty
Loan headquarters. 1t is worthy of
the careful attention of every citizen:
Floyd NJ. Wilson, Lamar. Colo.
1T is matter OF supreme national
importance that the Treasury OF the
United States shall be supplied at all
times with the amount of money
needed to furnish the food, the cloth
ing, the guns, the ammunition requIr-
ed by our soldiers to fight successful
~ for the safety and liberty Of Ameri-
ca, to pay the allowances made by the
government to the dependent wives
and children of these soldiers and pay
the nfe insurance which the govern
ment permits every soldier to buy
from it. The Treasury must also have
the necessary money to extend credit
to the viliant Britons, French, Belg-
ians and Italians who are fighting
alongside Americans-soldiers of the
bloody battlefields of France, Bengium
and Italy. If the American people
fail to lend their money to their gov
ernmcht for these noble purposes how
can we gain victory in this glorious
cause? Every one can help by lend
ing their money TO the government.
They do not make gift of this money.
They merely lend it on impregnable
security and are paid interest on the
loan. At the same time the farmers
of the nation can render genuinely
patriotic service by lending all tho
money they can to their government
and encouraging everybody else to do
the same. 1t makes no difference how
small the loan it will be helpful. Those
who can only buy Thrift Stamps
should buy Thrift Stamps. Those who
can buy only War Savings Stamps
should buy War Savings Stamps.
Those who can buy Liberty Bonds
should buy Liberty Bonds. Always
they should buy as many stamps and
bonds as they can instead of as few.
The government has now put these
loans in such convenient form that
there is no citizen in the land who can
not help to some extent if he is pa
triotic enough. We rely upon tho
farmers. than whom there arc no
people more vitality interested in pro-
tecting Americas future and the lib
erty of the world, to do their utmost
to help in this great Liberty Loan
work. The formers are already per-
forming patriotic service Of the high
est value in raising the food stuffs
needed by our own military forces and
citizens at home and by the soldiers
and civilian population of the great
nations associated with us, but they
have a further duty to perform; they
,hould invest all of their available
money in the obligations Of their gov
srnmort. In doing so they will not
only benefit themselves by saving this
money but will be helping TO defend
heir liberty, their rights, and their
farms against the threatened aggres-
sions of the most powerful autocratic
and military government ever created
The farmers of the nation traditional
ly are freedom loving people. One
hundred and forty-threc years ago on
he nineteenth OF this month the farm
FRS of Lexington and Concord fired
he first shot for liberty and it was
heard round the world. inow that
they will join with other Americans
Of every business and profession in
providing the money which will enable
their government to fight to victor
ious conclusion thi- great war for
Liberty, Justice and Americas Sacred
Rights.

The above are the two leaders in the
greatest drive to aid the government
yet made in this section. The earnest
work they did and the hearty en-

factor in the wonderful success. This
coupled with the earnest work and

Your Uncle Sam is calling now on

If you're too old or young to fight
there's something else o.do-
II you have done bit before don't let
the matter rest
For Uncle Sam expects that ev'ry man
will do his best.
Chorus
What are you going TO do for Uncle
sammy
What are you going to do to help the
boys
II you mean to stay at home
While they're fighting DER the foam
The least that you can do is buy a
Bond or two
If you're going to be sympathetic
miser
The kind that only lends a lot of
noise
You're no better than the one who
loves the Kaiser,
So what are you going to do to help
the boys!
1t makes no difference who you arc
or whence you came or how
Your Uncle Sammy helped you then
and you must help him now.
Your brothers will be fighting for your
freedom over there
And il you love the Stars and Stripes
then you must do your share.
