EXEMPTION BOARD MEMBERS
RECEIVE THREATENING NOTE

Several days ago Charles Mcleod
received through the mails a letter
over the signature of a man who was
drafted by the local board, of which
Mr.. Mcleod is a member The let
ter was in Italian. The translation
secured by Mr.. Mcleod was of the
most threatening Imaginable; even
the members of his family were
threatened. The communication
has been turned over to the proper
authorities, and If the writer is not
already in France he will probably
get something to remember. Mas

MOVEMENT TO ESTABLISH
A PUBLIC READING ROOM
Meeting Called for Next Sunday
Evening TO Complete Arrange
ments for Securing Room

The movement inaugurated by the
Draper Club to establish a public
reading room will assume definite
form in the very near future as a
number of citizens are planning to
SO broaden the interest in what is
admitted to be a most urgent need
that they consider the most serious
obstacle now before them is the mat
ter of location.
The question of finances for the
maintenance of such a room is now
before the City Council and for the
purpose of securing additional aid a
public meeting will be held at the M.
E. Church next Sunday evening.
Invitations have ,been sent to all
the churches and as this is matter
of general interest the public is
urged to attend and lend encourage
ment to IT,
1t is proposed to make the room
attractive In every possible way and
to have on hand fresh reading mat
ter in order that the many men with
out homes may find there a place of
rest and relaxation and where they
will also have opportunities for
writing now denied them.
Special music for tie meeting Is
being arranged by w. Z. Davis and
brief talks by a number Of citizens
will inform the meeting of the plans
of those who have already devoted
much time 10 the matter.

GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGES
FARMERS TO PLANT BEETS
Every Farmer Should be Willing to
DO His Part In Food
Production

In posters of highly attractive de-
sign which have been issued by the
federal food administration. farmers
throughout this section are eneour-
aged 10 proceed with the growing
of sugar beets. The farmers here
have demonstrated that beets can
be successfully grown under proper
selection of soil and treatment of the
crops In number of instances the
production of enormous tonnage has
been shown.
That the beet crop is attended by
exceptional profit has become well
established fact and the opportuni-
ties for 1918 will be better than
heretofore. In addition there will
be opportunities of developing stock
feed with sliced beet tops, pulp and
syrup. These are without equal
from the standpoint of fattening
and the feeding of dairy cows
1t has been pointed out by the
heads of the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the food
administration that one of the most
important requisites of the war will
be the production of food in right
proportions Every farmer should
be willing to do his part in putting
the soil to a crop that will reach its
highest efficiency.
The beet crop is the only crop
which will furnish two crops in one
season. One crop is for the produc-
tion of sugar and the other for the
feeding of cattle. By-products of
sugar beets will feed one and one
half times as many livestock as that
of the average acre of alfalfa, or
clover, and makes 1t possible to feed
the hay upon tho farm, by using sy-
rup on the straw and other kinds of
rough feed, that the farmer may
have, can be fed to no better advan-
tage, than without.

THREE THOUSAND ACRES
TO Be OPENED FOR ENTRY
Lands Valuable for Alfalfa and
Sugar Beets To be Opened
February IS

The throwing open OF 3400 acres
OF land in the Carson pro.
ject for homestead entry is a matter
of more than ordinary interest tc
this section.
Much of this land is valuable un.
der right cultivation for alfalfa, and
other sections are desirable for su-
gar beet culture. These units are
widely scattered as is shown in the
following list of locations. In the
Swingle bench and Leeteville district
there are eight, west of Fallen and
as far as Soda Lake District. 16.
south and east of Fallon Is, north
and east of Fallon 3, and in the
Saltwater District Is.
Ii will be noted that no portion
OF the Carson Lake lands compris-
ing 1040 acres and recently leveled
are included in above, recommend
tions regarding these being now un-
der consideration and official notice
regarding them ia looked for in the
near future.
The water rate ON the lands to be
thrown open will be $4,000 per
acre, under the 20 year payment
plan without interest.
In the water application there is
a stipulation by which the applicant
agrees to have his homestead entry
included within an irrigation dis
triet as soon as the laws OF Nevada
permit.
The lands described in our adver-
tising columns today will be thrown
open to entry on the morning Of
February Is, at . a, m. at the T. 5.
Land Office In Carson City.
In order TO have ones homestead
application received there 1t must
he accompanied by the certificate
from the Office of the Reclamation
Service In Fallon showing that the
applicant has made the necessary
water payment.
This certificate must accompany
the homestead application made out
in the usual form.
In order to avoid disappointment
that may be the result of any mis-
understanding of the terms under
which these lands may be obtained
the Project Manager urges intending
applicants TO call at the U. s. Recla-
nation Service Office for full instruc-
tions.

TAG YOUR SHOVEL DAY"

Today, January 30th, has
been designated as Tag Your
Shovel Day and will probably
be observed throughout the
United States as a school holi-
day for the purpose of having
the pupils attach tag to ev-
cry shovel possible
The local Fuel Committee
are in receipt of a thousand
tags which will be turned over
to the children OF the schools
to be attached to shovels in ey-
cry household in the city and
county.
Coal conservation has be-
come a patriotic duty. The
man who wastes coal wastes
not only coal but he wastes
labor and transportation. He
stands in very serious posit-
ion, for with every shovelful
of coal he wastes he lowers the
efficiency of the men on the fir-
ing line; he lowers the temper
ature of the cantonments; he
reduces the speed Of the sub
marine destroyer he dimin-
ishes the force Of the projec-
tile, or IN short, he weakens
his country.
The householder is asked TO
save a shoyelful of coal day.

PRICE OF $500 PER TON
ASSURED FOR 1918 BfETS
For Self-Protection Farmers Should
Plant Beets to Foster Local
Enterprise

Word was received last Thursday
of an additional increase In the price
of sugar beets that will make the
net to the farmer $500 per ton for
the 1918 crop. The announcement
came in the following telegram from
Merrill Nibley. president of the Ne
Vada-Utah Sugar Co, to Mr.. Bran
we'll:
Salt Lake City, Jan. %, 1918.
F. S. Bramwell, Resident Manager,
Fallon, Nevada:
Board of Directors today increas-
ed price of beets this year to $500
per ton. This of course affects con-
tracts signed as we'll as those yet to
be taken, and should stimulate con-
tracing. The increase will come in
the shape of a War Bonus of SO
cents per ton at the time the beets
are paid for.
tSigned) MERRILL NIBLEY.
This announcement is well calcu-
lated to cause the farmers OF this
section to seriously consider when
planning for next seasons crop. No
body ever dreamed of such a price
for beets in this or any other section
and only the seriousness of the sit
uation in the sugar production could
ever have made it possible. 1t
should be borne in mind that aside
from a fixed price on wheat, the gov
ernment has SO far guaranteed moth
ing to the farmer While IL is true
that alfalfa hay is just now an in
yiting crop at the prices which have
prevailed for the past two seasons
and there is a possibility that 1t will
continue to hold high level, COM
mn prudence would incline the con-
servative farmer to have an anchor
to windward and not to put all his
eggs in one basket"
Aside from any motives of patrio-
tism, 1t is a good business PROPOSE
ton for our farmers to diversity
their crops against the time when
alfalfa may again drop to Sc per
ton in the stack. No one can gain
say the fact that IL Is highly essen
tiad that we should foster an indus
try in this section that will insure a
steady revenue at fixed price at
time when our chief crop may be-
come a drug on the market,
We can all remember that for a
couple of years practically the only
revenue of many of our homestead
ers was that derived from their
cream checks and 1t is an open Sc
cret that it was only the Churchill
Creamery that stood between many
of them and the financial rocks.
How much better it would be then,
if we had a second established in
dustry to bridge us over a similar
period.
Every farmer on the project
should consider that it is to his in
terest and safety that the sugar fac
tory should operate and while it is
in acreage should be a large one,
each should include in his plans for
next year small acreage of sugar
beets. There are about five hundred
homesteaders on the project and if
each contributed from two to ten
acres, according to conditions, it
would be comparatively an easy mat
ter to insure the retention of the
sugar industry.
Without such an encouragement
on the part of the local farmers the
outlook is distinctly unfavorable.

NEED WOMEN ON RAILROADS
Many Jobs Opened to Them by the
War at Same Salaries Men Have
Been Receiving

The number of railroad jobs that
women are able to hold has increased
tremendously since the war began,
On of the first new jobs for women
was car cleaning, and they have been
engaged in this work in the Boston
yards of the Boston & Albany Rail
road for many months
Now the Railroad Administration
contemplates employment of WON
en- almost exclusively as clerks, &C
countants, ticket sellers, station
agents, crossing watchmen, and cal
cleaners, in which jobs they can re
lease men for the Army or for more
important work. To some extent, Il
is understood, women will be EN-
ployed as track laborers.
Every effort will be made to guar(
the safety and health of these won
en- workers, and 1t is probable tina
the work of the Women in Industr!
Service of the Department of Labo
will be of great value in solving prob
lens connected with their employ
ment Women will be paid the sam
as men for the same work. Englisl
and French railroads were long ag
compelled to hire women for railroa
: work on an extensive scale. 1
France the women evn act as fire
men on locomotives.
There are training schools 70
