ORGANIZATION OF IRRIGATION
DISTRICT is NOW ASSURED
Bond Has Been Filed With Board Of
Commissioners Who VIII Pro-
ceed to Call Election

Confirming the statement made in
was needed was someone to take the
matter in hand to insure the sub
mission of a vote on the question OF
organizing an irrigation district, c.
e. Coe received last week form of
bond from Judge l.. N. French and
in very short time had the required
signatures to the amount of $4,000.
Those who signed are Joe Jarvis, A.
A. Towle. j. s. Gray, Thomas Dolf,
Thomas Williamson, w. A. Harmon,
j. 7. Thayer, L. l.. Allen, Fred
Wightman and G. w. Latin.
In order that there might be no
question that the signatures would
be guaranteed against possible loss,
Mr.. Coe Immediately set about se-
curing additional signatures in var
ious amounts from a large number
of land owners to make assurance
doubly sure.
The enthusiasm which attended
Mr.. Goes efforts are ample evidence
that the proposition will go through
practically unanimously, as in no
case did he meet with a rebuff or
even a lack of interest
Perhaps no action taken by the
farmers and land owners of the val
ley since the inception OF the Truck
ee-Carson project is fraught with
greater potential possibilities than
that taken last week in this matter
of an organization. Largely misun-
derstood and hence either opposed
or languidly supported at the out
set, which accounts for the long de-
lay, the farmers have latterly be-
come convinced that there are mum
ber OF problems yitally affecting the
future OF this community that are
bound up In this movement. II has
come to be generally recognized
that through the lack of some sort
of an organization It is practically
impossible to solve these without
concerted action through recog-
nized and legal body which has pow
er to speak for all and in which all
shall have voice, especially in the
raising and expenditure of money
The regular proceedings will nov
be gone through with by the Com
missioners, such as checking up the
signers to the petition for organiza-
tion, publishing the boundaries of
the proposed district and calling for
an election at which the question
will be submitted to the land owners
and also the selection of the first
board of directors to conduct the
business in the event of its adoption.
This will be done this month and the
election will probably be called for
a date early in September.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE WILL
DISCOURAGE XMAS GIVING
Movement Is Designed to Relieve
Transportation, Conserve Labor
and Stimulate Economy

Beginning in September the
Council of National Defense will in
augnrate an active campaign to dis
courage the giving of Christmas gifts
in order to conserve the labor of the
country, relieve transportation and
stimulate economy. 1t is considered
of greatest Importance that mer-
chants should be advised of this plan
Immediately that they may properly
adjust their buying to this end.
The statement of the Council of
National Defense upon the matter is
as follows:
1.-The Council of National Defense
and Advisory Commission have re-
ceived inquiries as TO the attitude of
the Government toward Christmas
buying. Manufacturers and mer-
chants are desirous to be advised at
this time In order to intelligently
plan for their Christmas stocks.
Therefore. the Council and Advisory
Commission now announce that 1t is
their belief that Christmas giving.
which involves the purchase of gifts,
should be discouraged as relieving
to that extent the present heavy bur-
den placed upon labor, transporta-
tion and other resources OF the ma
tion, and also as being In harmony
with the previous announcement of
the Council and Advisory Commits
sion urging thrift and economy upon
the country.
These principles involve far
reaching notifications in our Christ
mas customs, but they can be ac-
complihsed without impairing the
essential value of Christmas as an
institution.
in the meantime, manufactur-
ers and merchants should be notified
regarding the Governments policy,
in order that they may plan their
Christmas stocks with knowledge of
the call which will later be made on
the general public"

FLOUR RELEASE A

There has been a rumor about

on the first of August release the
order on -four. thus allowing the
housewife to secure white flour
without substitutes. There is MOTH
ing in this report, as the order is in
effect as formerly, the substitute be-
ing required. The farmer, however,
who has new grain can have eight
pounds per person per month ground
at the mill In exchange for his new
grain. 1t Is not likely that there
will be any change in the order this

MRS. GRACE N. W|LDES
FOR STATE CONTROLLER
Churchill County Confidently Ap-
peals TO the State for Recogni-
ton of a Worthy Woman

Mrs. Grace NJ Wildes, widow of
the late Mark L. Wildes, last Satur-
day filed her declaration of eandi-
daey with the Secretary of State for
the Office of State Controller on the
Democratic ticket.
A unique condition prevails with
respect to this case, inasmuch as her
success over her opponent at the
primaries, insures her election, since
no candidate has filed for the place
On any other ticket.
Mrs. Wildes needs no recommen-
dation or Introduction to the people
of Churchill county, where she was
the people of the State of Nevada to
whom she will make her appeal for
support we can say, without fear of
successful contradiction, that she is
eminently fitted and qualified for the
position to which she aspires, having
had more than ordinary experience
in business affairs and is familiar
with office work and bookkeeping.
No taxpayer or voter need fear that
the Office of State Controller will
suffer in efficiency through being
conducted by a woman of Mrs.
Wildes' capabilities.
Mrs. Wildes has been placed In
the running by her friends and not
by her own seeking, although per-
haps no person in the State is more
entitled to consideration al the
hands of the loyal, generous and
sympathetic people OF the State of
Nevada. Left a widow with two
children by the murderons hand OF
war Stacker. the details OF which
are familiar 10 everyone In the
State. she is compelled to earn her
livelihood and rear her children by
her own efforts. While Mrs. Wildes
Is averse to capitalizing her posi-
ion or to appeal for support upon
these grounds, her host of friends
in Churchill county are convinced
that the State of Nevada and the
Nation in whose service he yielded
up his life, owes her debt that can
never be paid and that the least that
can be done is to afford her an op-
portunity to earn a salary in a posi-
tion which she is in every way quail
ified to fill.
For more than a decade Churchill
county has not been honored with
place on the State ticket. although
one of the substantial, permanent
and progressive sections of the COM
monwealth, with constantly in
creasing tax roll. which would nat
urally entitle it to representation.
Were IL not for the provisions of
the primary law which preeludes
those who registered as Republicans
from voting for Democratic candi-
dates. Mrs Wildes would receive
practically every vote in the county,
such is the esteem in which she is
personally held among those who
know her best and who feel that
both from her eminent fitness and
the circumstances surrounding her
case, she Is entitled to consideration
for anything the people of her native
State can confer.

the betterment of the community.
He is man of strong convictions
and IL elected his constituents may
rely upon his answering devotion to
those principles that work for the
highest interests of the State, and
especially of the county he repre-
sents.

Paris, August 6-The Germans
are retreating from Lys and Amiens
sectors and falling back in the Mont
didier salient. German retreat along
the entire front appears to be deyei-
oping. A German attack against the
French-American positions on the
Vesle river fails. The French troops
have reached the west bank of the
Avre river between Breaches and
Morizel. The Allies are driving
north from the scissors sector I'm a

force the Germans to give up all the
gains won last March In the great

are lighting desperately to hold the
Allies until their main army es-
capes.

Paris, August 6-The Allies are
attacking the heights held by the
Germans between the vesle and
Aisne rivers. The Germans are de-
Tending desperately, but their posi-
ton is considered nntenable by the
Allied leaders. Furious German as
sauifs are being delivered to force
the Franco-American troops from
north of the Vesle, but have failed.
Recruits of the Class of 1918 are
rushed to the aid of the Crown
Prince. French troops have taken
positions to the north of Montdidier,
thus menacing the army of the Ger
mans on the Flanders front. The
Germans are heavily bombarding the
British positions at Villers-Bretton-
eaux. The Germans have made a
series of heavy attacks on Fismes,
but were driven back with heavy
losses by the Americans.

Warns Against World
Accepting German Peace

New York, May S.--Gcrman lust
for world domination has evoked
from Pastor Charles Wagner Of
Paris, author and one OF the world S
leading opponents Of the simple
life a message to the American
people in which he warns against
a German peace and declares that
"to go on leading quiet life when
iniquity is flooding the earth to
become an accompice of iniquity."
The message makes a special appeal
to pacihsts.
Doctor Wagner, writer of "Thc
Simple Life was invited recently
to make tour OF the United States
by the national committee on the
churches and the moral aims OF the
war for the purpose OF inspiring
churches to make effective patriotic
efforts. His health prevented him
from accepting the invitation and
he sent his Message to American"
instead.
"All religious and moral motives
unite to make us the defenders OF

is neither excuse nor escape; the

WAR SUMMARY

Along the battle lines in north
ern France, the allied .roops Still
await the shock of renewed heavy
fighting by the Germans. Nppar-
emily the rainy weather has inter
fered a great deal with the enemy 5
transport and he has not been able
to perfect his. arrangements be-
cause of the difficulties OF bringing
his supplies over the battle-torn
ground OF Flanders and Picardy,
Having gained some advantageous
positions in local fighting, the allies
are waiting for the next effort Of
the Germans, which already has
been delayed much longer than in
previous lulls since the beginning
OF the offensive on March D. Mean
while, fresh troops and new sup
plies are pouring in to strengthen
the allied positions, and this fact
must also add to the perturbation
OF the enemy, who has nothing re-
markable in military achievement to
show for his heavy losses of the last
seven weeks.
The artillery fire continued yio-
lent on important sectors. The Ger
mans are shelling heavily the Anglo
French front southwest OF Ipres
and the sector south OF the Somme
between Nilers-BretonneuX and
HailleS. These sectors saw the
heavy fighting previous to the Ger
man repusc north of Mont KENNEL
nine days ago. Enemy fire against
the southern side OF the Arras sec
tor, which lies north OF Albert, also
has been intense.
There has been great aerial activ-
ity ca the American sector north
west of Toul and Captain James
Norman Hall, we'll known as flyer
in the French and American armies,
is reported missing after a battle
in which he and two other Ameri-
cans engaged four Germans. Two

% have been brought down.
Other Americans also have been
the enemy in the air along
he line east of st. Alihiel, and it
IS believed the Germans have con
large forces in an attempt
o wipe out the American flyers.
There has been no infantry fight
