Wno gave an outline OF n work ana
duties of the said Council. His re-
marks were enthusiastically received.
The chairman then introduced
Mrs. Edna Covert Plummer, who
gave a short outline Of What are
Liberty Bonds" and closed with a
few words to the Red Cross telling
of the strong desire of the Teutons
to annihiliate that organization if
possible.
District Judge Peter Breen gave a
short address on the Huns and Van
dals of the days prior to our own
"Scourge of Cod" He also intro
duced the Speaker of the Day. W..
M. Wiley of Wells and Metropolis,
who gave a most excellent talk on
the war, why we are at war, the
need of Liberty Bonds, and the need
of the subscriptions to same. He
was cheered repeatedly. and the only
trouble was that his speech was too
short.
After the singing of America
the crowd dispersed, all roads lead
ing to the Court House and the Bond
Applications.
Bond Sales Bring Honor Flag
The most important feature of the
day. of course, was the buying of
Liberty Bonds. and the manner in
which the people of Eureka respond
ed to this call of their Government,
sent a thrill of genuine pride through
the heart of every Eurekan. The
little town was determined to show
that she was still on the map and
loyal to the core.
The Council of Defense did not
know, on Saturday. that Eureka
County's quota would be $25, 000.0 90.
but this amount was subscribed by
the town of Eureka. alone, by six
o'clock, and by 7:30 p. m. Director
Morgan wired the State Council that
Eureka had subscribed $50. 050.0 90
and Palisade 81, 10000.
The rush began shortly after the
speaking and continued until mid
night. The Offices of Assessor w. j.
Hooper and Recorder Edgar Father
were crowded all the while with enthu-
siastic purchasers. Nor did the rush
close with Saturday. W. H. Russell.
w. J. Hooper and Edgar Father left
for Elko Wednesday morning with
subscriptions for Eureka and Pail
SADIE amounting to $48. 10000. And
they are still coming in.
Director J. E. Sexton. of Palisade.
was absent Saturday On account of
the illness of his brother, but wired
his subscription of $40 1000. 90, from
San Francisco.
Outside precincts of the county
we're unable to get in on the Satur-
day drive on account of not receiving
application blanks in time. These
blanks we're not received in Eureka
until Monday. but the Council here
had temporary blanks printed by the
SENTINEL. When other precincts
are heard from. there is no question
but that it will be shown that Eureka
County has more than doubled her
quota already. and hence entitled to
the blue star upon her Honor Flag.
The following dispatch was re-
ceived from Governor James K.
Lynch of the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco:
