the quarantine and the sewing room is
going full swing. A great deal of
splendid work is being accomplished.
The inspection committee Is being
Kept busy every day receiving fine
big shipments of goods from auxiliar-
les and branches. The local chapter
wishes to say that the work received
from Carlin has been especially fine
as have been the shipments from Ne.

Montcllo. Arthur. South Ruby, La.
moiile, Palisade. Midas, Contact.
Starr Valley, and Ruby Valley. and
from individuals serving on ranches
who have no opportunity to get to a
chapter house. The auxiliary and
branch organizations of the Elko
County Chapter have sent seven large
cases OF excellent work TO San Fran
cisco. With the ladies behind the
boys OF the L. s. a. in this style we
will have far and away the best
equipped lot Of fighters in the world
and the women will surely have done
their bit when Pershing throws the

Neil Estes is a son of Mrs Estes,
of Oakland, California, mother of three
boys all with the United States Army.
Neil, when a little fellow, was a mes
senger boy in the service of the West

orator on the receiving end at New
York City when Edison's message of
