STATE MAY CREATE
BOND SALE RECORD

Nevada has passed the s4,5OO,OOO
mark and nearly 25 per cent of the
people residing in this state bought
Liberty bonds of the third issue, ac-
cording to official information from
the Liberty loan headquarters. These
figures indicate that this record,
especially for the number of subscrib-
ers in respect to the population, will
probably set a nationwide record for
all states.
Official reports are not complete
from Elko. Humboldt, Lyon, Washoe
and Mineral counties. 1t is shown
by returns so far received that 22.922
subscribers purchased bonds.
White Pine county, with $1,05S,7O0.
leads the state, with Washoe second
and Elko county third. Every county
in the state exceeded its quota and in
several instances doubled 1t, while
Lincoln. Clark and Lyon counties sub
scribed nearly four times as much as
they were asked to.

WAR TRAINING CLASS TO BE
ESTABLISHED IN WINNEMUCCA

War training classes for radio op-
orators have been established at the
high schools of Elko, Reno, Sparks
and Goldfeld by the state department
of vocational education at the request
of the federal government New
classes will soon be established at
Winnemucca. Tonopah, Las Vegas and
Ely under the local draft boards.
The United States government must
secure $4,000 radio or buzzer opera
tors at the earliest possible date for
service in the signal corps of the
army. Nevada has undertaken to
train a portion of these operators
from the ranks of the men who are
shortly to be called to cantonments.
Drafted men who attain a prof.
cheney of sending and receiving of ten
words per minute or better are prac-
tically certain of rapid promotion and
increased pay in the army. The rank
of corporal or sergeant with wage
of from $36 to $51 month awaits
the majority of the men thus trained.
and in proportion as man so in
structed shows his ability and inter-
est, promotion lies ahead OF him to
the position OF master signal electri-
clan, with a wage of $S1 per month.
Instruction is given In evening
CLASSES No charge win be made foy
the course. The class viii at present
be limited only to conscripted men
who have passed the physical exami-
nation and have been placed in class
one or class two.
Those interested should communi-
cate with the county council of de-
fense. and, in case there is suffi-
cient advanced enrolment, classes
may be formed at places other than
those mentioned.
Drafted men may serve their coun-
try better by preparing for specific
job Specific training will also better
their future position and make them
of much more value to the nation.

Somewhere in France.


Do not send any more packages, as
we move around so much | am afraid

every few days and have now crossed
almost the entire country and are
near enough to the front to hear the
firing and see the FLASHES at night.
Also we see the star shells which IL
Illuminate the trenches at night so any
movement can be seen as plain as in
daytime. Every clear day the Fritzies
fly overhead, but our anti-aircraft
guns keep them so high that they are
not very dangerous, only when
straight overhead, and then the dan
ger is from falling shrapnel. But we
wear steel helmets to protect us. AS
yet we have not had to wear our gas
masks, not having had any experience
with gas, but believe me I am not
looking for any. We have been hav-
ing plenty of rain lately, but today is
fine. Am enclosing few wild flowers
picked along the road. Were quar-
tered in town in a hay-loft for a few
days, but now have our own barracks,
so are much more comfortable. Well,

Tomorrow night new William Fox
will be presented at the American. 1t
is called THE Moral Law" and is one
of the most remarkable dramas that
has been put upon the screen. 1t is
only necessary to announce the ap-
pearance of the brilliant star, Gladys
Brockwell, to excite interest.
In the new drama, Miss Brockwell
plays a dual role of two sisters who
look almost exactly alike. They are,
however, as unalike in character as
it is possible to imagine The scenes
of the play are laid in this country
and in South America. The plot deals
whit man who leaves all of his
wealth to a high-minded and chari-
table daughter who is about to be
married. The father had, however, a
wife whom he had divorced because
of her vicious temperament, and she
and her daughter live in a South
American capital in the midst of evil
and degraded surroundings. The
father cut off both in his will with one
dollar each. The high-minded daugh-
ter. fearing that an injustice may have
been done, goes to her sister to divide
the money. What this fine and high
minded girl goes through before she
is again reunited to the man she loves
forms the basis for the absorbing
story that follows.

day will be Poet and Peasant" over

MEN WANTED FOR
MERCHANT MARINE
G. v. Brainerd Appointed Re.
cruiting Agent for This City

wanted-now! $4,000 men for
crews in the new American Merchant
Marine.
In accordance with plan an
nounced Saturday by Henry Howard,
director of recruiting for the United
States Shipping board, 526 druggists
in New England will act as volunteer
recruiting agents, each of them con-
Quoting enrolling stations in his store.
They have already been sworn in as
special representatives.
C. w. Brainerd, of the Clark and
Brainerd Drug Co., 1S1 Main street,
is the New Britain agent of the ship
ping board. Mr.. Brainerd began his
work this m morning and will carry on
a publicity campaign to enroll men
Posters will soon be placed about the
city calling attention to the need for
men. Mr.. BTainerd says that so urg-
cnt is the call that a ship is now held
up in Boston harbor because it has
not sufficient men to man it.
Officers sailors, fremen, oilers,
wator-tenders, coal-passers, cooks and
stewards are among those included in
the call The most desirable age for
inexperienced applicants is from II 10
q. The pay ranges from $50 a. mont
for deck BOY to SIS for a carpenter
In each case, irrespective of the work,
the government gives a SO per cent,
bonus.
Men who have served as sailors are
asked to come forward for service as
officers or able seamen. Men who have
not been to sea will be trained for the
work for which they are best qualified.
Those over the age of 81 who are es-
pecially experienced as firemen, oilers
or water tenders may obtain good Jobs
at once.
The service is purely voluntary.
There is no drafting of men for the
merchant marine. The volunteer
"signs articles, the same as a marin
err bound on voyage, agreeing to
serve under the shipping board, as his
official superior, to the end OF the
war.
At the enrolling station the Nolun-
teer signs an application plank. II
called, he will be notified by the agent,
examined by a physician, ana II ne
