County Fair Appropriation Bill FAIL
ed Due to Ruling of the Speaker
of the lower House

The attempt OF the partisans OF
the county fair bill TO thwart the
will of Governor Boyle by attaching
to the general appropriation meas
ure, authority for a $12, 900 approp-
iration for the state fair to be held
in Fallon this and next year failed
of success only through the ruling
of Speaker Fitzgerald of the assem-
bly, that the method could not be
adopted to override the governor S
veto. after the proposal had been
sanctioned by working majority in
both houses. II will be remembered
that the speaker of the recently
concluded state legislature is from
Nye county and is more or less un-
sympathetic with the agricultural
interests of Nevada. 1t is barely
possible that the over representation
of Nye and Esmeralda counties in
state official circles, may not, like
Tennyson's brook. go on forever.

SOLDIERS DO NOT WANT
EXPENSIVE RECEPTIONS
Says Expensive Receptions Should
BE Waived In Favor of
Practical Things

Well intending. but misguided
folks in every part of the country,
have put forward many proposals of
impractical methods of receiving and
honoring our returning soldier her
oes. The subject of memorials has
been one of the most generally dis
oussed of recent months and in this.
as in the matter of according a fit
ting reception for our soldiery, hys-
terra and maudlin sentimentality
have played no inconsiderable part
The American soldier is G vastly
different individual from tie fellow
who went forward 10 protect and
perpetuate his national ideals. And
he wants least of all 10 meet upon
his return with sloppy. effusiye sent-
mentality and fatuous talk. He is
a serious minded individual who has
had a real mans size job on his
hands and he is fully conscious Of
the part he played in fulfilling his
task. The following excerpt is tax

official publication of the soldiers.
and was forwarded 10 this Office BY
Lester Moody. one of our boys short
ly to return home, rs being express
sive. not only of his sentiment, but
of his comrades without exception:
To the Editor of The Stars and
Stripes:
A little suggestion from an old
head of the Z. S. Army: Why are
the States going through all the ex-
pense of welcoming homecoming
soldiers? Why not let the soldiers
be discharged Immediately upon
their arrival in the United States and
the States and Government give the
soldiers that have done their biz for
democracy a bonus which would be
of profit TO these men, their wives
and kids. instead of spending mil
lions of dollars throughout the q S.
A. for such purposes rs above stated2
This campaign should be started by
al the newspapers instead Of start
ing campaigning for such little
things as refreshments for soldiers.
their mothers, sisters. etc. would
certainly furnish the men with ar
ticles of this sort.

AUTOMOBILE RACES WILL Be
HELD HERE IN NEAR FUTURE
Fallon Men Arranging for Automo-
bile Races To be Run ON the
Course North of FalIon

E. o. Schaffer, c. c. Everett and
Tony caselton are taking the initia-
tive in the matter of sponsoring a
speed meet which they plan to hold
here within the near future, and
definite dates for the auto races will
be announced within a short time.
1t is proposed to utilize the circular
track north of town which encircles
Rattlensnake hill and is three and
three-tenths miles in length. One
of the extraordinary features favor
ing this location is the grandstand
which the promoters truthfnlly aver
Is the highest and of the most gen.
erous proportions of any in the
world
A deficit exists at the present
time which is charged against the
race course and it is proposed TO
give racing events that will draw
sufficient crowds TO at least partial
ly liquidate the obligation. The
work of smoothing up the race
course is to be undertaken at once
and the management of the Calvsda
automobile agency in Reno. has
generously donated several Fordson
tractors TO be used in this work
Parties here will assist those active
ly behind the undertaking with man
power and teams, all to the end that
our next speed meet may be as sue
eessful as conscientious effort car
make It. The several events ere &c
be open TO the owners of local cars
and some very exciting contests are
promised.

EXEMPTION BOARD RECORDS
SHIPPED TO WASHINGTON
Records of Local Exemption Board
We're Shipped to Washington To
Become "A Permanent Exhibit

Sheriff c. M. Way packed and
shipped the records of the Churchill
county local board to the adjutant
generals office at Washington, the
shipment going forward last Thurs
day Seven boxes were required to
hold these records, which included
about 1900 questionaires and about
as many registration cards, all in
volving Churchill county men of
military age, together with volumi-
nous correspondence. the extent of
which Is indicated by the shipping
bill, which showed weight of Just
half ton. These records are to be
segregated, together with others of
the same kind from the great num-
Der of counties within the United
States, all to remain permanently in
Washington for future reference
should an exigency arise in the fu-
ture when they are needed.
1t cost the federal government a
very large sum of money to obtain
these records and expediency de-
mands that they shall be perpetu-
ated. In the aggregate trainloads of
documents, representative of the ef-
forts of local boards during the war
are en- route to the national capital
and it will require the services of an
army of war department clerks to
make the classifcations and file the
papers now headed toward Washing
ton from every part of the United
States.
