There is little new work to report
in actual drilling operations, due
largely to scarcity of labor mate
rials and water. A number of new
derricks, previously reported, are
still waiting on tools and men. The
Sparks Oil and Development Com
pany, in section 80 2s2w, and the
Shaeffer-Vaughn test, in section 81
2s2w. are both in this class. The
Shaeffer-Naughn test was stopped
last fall at about 400 feet. Drilling
will be resumed on this test as soon
as some necessary repairs on the
can be made and a full
complement of workmen secured.
The Sparks company's test has
been ready for the tools for some
time past, and the tools have been
but have not yet ar
rived.

FATHER AND DAUGHTER
ARRESTED FOR SEDIT|ON
VIM. Richard, Taken Into Custody
Yesterday, Has Record of
Former Delinquency

VIM Richard, who has recently
acquired a ranch in st. Clair dis
trict, in company with his daughter
Emma Richard, was taken into Gus
tody yesterday by Sheriff Way on a
charge of sedition preferred by his
two daughters by a second marriage.
Richard came to Churchill county
last February from Yerington, hay-
ing been run out of Lyon county for
pro-German utterances. On this
occasion he was compelled to kneel
and kiss the American flag. Seem
ingiy his past experiences have not
acted as a deterrent and he is appar-
emily obsessed with the idea that his
devotion to Germany outweighs his
fealty to the land of his adoption.
Richard was born in Germany,
coming to this country nearly thirty
years ago, when he was but "a years
of age He bears an unenviable
reputation wherever he has resided
for the brutality of his conduct to-
ward the members of his family.
Richard and his daughter viii
have a preliminary examination be-
fore u. S. Commissioner Williams
today, when they will be placed in
charge OF the IT, s. Marshal to ap-
pear before the U. s. Grand Jury.

CAILDREN'S DAY OBSERVED
AT METHODIST CHURCH
Interesting Program Consisting Of
Music and Recitations Listened
to by Large Congregation

Childrens day for many years has
been one of the recognized institu-
tions of the Methodist church and
which is now observed generally by

many invited friends. During the
evening Mrs. L. E. Cline rendered a
solo in a most effective manner and
trio by Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Evans
and Mr. w. K. Davis entitled God
be Merciful' was beautifully sung.
BY request of many friends Mr.. Dan
Evans sung 1.-The Holy City" most
impressively.
The chorus under the direction of
Mr.. Davis added greatly to the merit
of the well arranged program.

chase these Stamps to the limit of
their means.

WAR SAVINGS DRIVE NETS
s33,62O FOR FIRST DAY
One-Third of County's Quota Pledg-
ed as Result of Canvass BY Dis
tricts Last Sunday

The Nationwide campaign to
boost" the sale of War Saving
Stamps was inangurated in Church.
iii county last Sunday, when a fleet
of automobiles manned By enthusi-
astic workers secured the country to
secure pledges for the purchase of
$4,000 worth of stamps during the
year 1918.
The allotment of this county has
been set at 100000. of which ap-
proximaiely $4,000 has been sub
scribed before the drive started.
As an evidence of the intense in
terest of Washington in the out
come of the drive, the following tel
egram was received last Saturday
by Mayor E. S. Berney, County
Chairman of the War Savings Com
mittee:
AS County Chairman of War
Savings you are expected to win sue
cess In the June campaign. Just as
we expect our boys in France to win
victory in this war period, one hun
ired per cent Americanism in your
county should mean nothing less
than one hundred per cent pledged
in the war savings peeled. | am con-
tident you will succeed.
F. A. VANDERBILT.
The War Savings Committee has
been busy for the past couple of
weeks districting the county ard ap-
pointing canyassers to take charge
of the drive in each district As a
consequence there was no confusion
md the campaign was carried out
without a hitch. However, the dis
.riets ara 30 large and the number
OF people TO be interviewed so scat.
tered Il was found Impossible to Gov
ar all the territory la The one day
md the campaign will be carried on
until Friday evening, when 1t Is con-
fidently believed that the full
amount will be secured in pledges.
The tabulation of the returns of
the first days drive showed that
s33.620 in pledges and sales had
been secured. with many districts
but half canvassed and the city yet
to hear from.
The experiences of the volunteer
solicitors were many and varied, re-
sulting In many surprises. In some
cases totally unexpected amounts
were pledged by persons from whom
little was expected. while as an off
set others whose financial standing
gave promise of libertl investments,
were disappointing in the extreme.
Taken as whole, the canvassers
report hearty willingness on the
part of the people to contribute TO
the extent of their resources as 1t is
possible to estimate at this time.
AS was to be expected in a purely
agricultural community the farmers
are just at present under heavy ex-
pense In harvesting their crops, and
this fact, taken in conjunction with
the uncertainties of good market
in the fall. tends to make them con
servative in making pledge to
Uncle Sam, which they feel in duty
bound to fulfill to the letter.
Almost unanimously they fail to
be impressed with the investment
features of the stamps, but insisted
that what they subscribed was given
freely to the cause of winning the
war and not to be hypothecated or
cashed In until the last Hun has
been driven back to Berlin.

istration wanted 70 conserve uel n
light and not to close stores entirely.
Mr.. Jenkinson stated that this order
was up to Local Administrator Ram
say.
MIR. Jenkinson vas asked why It
was that Perth Amboy was closed
South Amboy and Carteret were al
lowed to keep open. His answer was
that cities were classified differently
and that Perth Amboy was in a class
with Paterson. Trenton and Camden
and subject to different rulings.
Mr.. Jenkinson stated in certain
places in Ocean county stores were
open until S o'clock.
Mr.. Jenkinson also stated that the
government wants coal conservation
and wants IL voluntarily. There is no
order from the government that
everything should close at 6 p. m. All
local conditions should be treated as
such by the fuel administrator and
merchants. and that the merchants
should get together with the authori-
ties. He showed one or two letters
where they had acted in that name
and that everything was settled to
the entire satisfaction of the commu-
mites.
The state fuel administrator sug-
gested that the Board of Aldermen
together with the fuel administra-
tor and merchants n see IL they
could not work out the problem har-
moniously in the interests of the gov
eminent. and at the same time try to
help their own interests.
Chairman Grouse suggested to the
fuel administrator. who was present.
that he call a meeting of the mer-
chants and the governing body for
Friday evening, November 1. The
fuel administrator absolutely refused
to call a meeting before Wednesday,
November 6.
A number of the smaller merchants
of the city did not close again laA
night at s o'clock as ordered and they
all stated that they would not close
at hat time as they felt that the fuel
administrator was exceeding his au-
thority, but they burned very little
light and In o cases only one
lamp. They did quite a business.
The saloons as usual were wide
open until midnight and in most cases
