HOW SOME AFRICAN NATIVES
REGARDED THE WAR.

Some of the black men of the
French Congo were much mystified at
the duration of the war waged by the
different countries of Europe. One of
the ancients, in discussing the pro-
longed combat, said to missionary:
But among you white people, are
there no old men to stop the young
men from killing one another? With
us, when a battle has lasted a long
time, the ancients separate the war
riors, tell them they have fought
long enough, and that the question

UNITED WAR VETERANS TO ORGANIZE IN STATE

The Times is in receipt of the fol-

alton exists here and if one is to be
formed in time for the delegates to
attend the convention quick action
will be necessary.
Our local organization was formed
on February p, 1919, for the purpose
OF uniting the returning soldiers so
that they, by being organized, may
have greater strength with which to
meet the problems attendant upon
a return to civil life, and also to per-
petuate the spirit of fraternaism they
learned in the service
We have placed fifty odd men in
positions and lent money to many

VOLUNTEERS WANTED

In orded to release men in the
American Expeditionary Forces who
desire to return home, the War De-
partment has called for fifty thousand
volunteers for service overseas.
According to Colonel John H.
Gardner, u. S. Army, who is in charge
OF the San Francisco Recruiting Dis
trict, which comprises the states of
California and Nevada, this is a good
plan in that it will give men who did
not get to go overseas, and those
who desire to see service oversee an
opportunity to serve their country
"OVER THERE"
Until order is restored in Europe
and staple governments are organized
it will be necessary for the Allies to
maintain troops as an international
Police Force as a means of preserving
order The minority in many of the
countries of Europe is attempting to
force their anarchist methods on the
Majority through Bolshevism. To
prevent this the allies" may find it
necessary to maintain forces of sold
iers for emergencies, and this system
is the method to be employd by the
United States in doing their share
Enlistments OF men for this Over
seas Force" are for the term of three
years and immediate service over
seas. Both men who have had their
previous service overseas and men
who have never seen service may be
accepted
Rive thousand men for this service
have been accepted through out the
United States by the General Recruit
ing Service since March 10Th.

THE REESE RIVER

Reese River valley, in Nevada is a
desert area about $50 miles long, and
at most places is closely hemmed in
by the mountains. Like many of the
other streams Of Nevada, Reese
River alternately rises and sinks in
the dry season and nowhere carries
large bodies OF water except after
storms. The water discharged from
the mountains on both sides of the
valley also sinks into loose material.
Obviously such a valley has two kinds
CT water supply-that which is visible
above the surface and can easily be
discovered and measured, and that
which is beneath the surface and is
much harder to find and measure.
Much of the mystery OF the water
which lies beneath the surface has
however, now been dispelled by the
systematic study by biologists and
engineers.

water in Reese River valley and ad
jacent parts OF Humboldt River valley

Who knows where the boundary line is between Douglas and Lyon coun-

las county had the line surveyed and found it in one place, while the authori-
ties of Lyon, who also had the line surveyed, established il n another. This
week the assessor of Douglas county went out there to assess a band of
sheep. The sheep we're between the two lines, and the owner claimed they
were in Lyon county. The question is, which survey is the correct one?
1t seems that If late a number of people in town have forgotten that
there is a law which prohibits the firing of arms within the city limits
Whether you shoot for fun or at tame pigeons, this dangerous pasthme must

within the city limits. Take warning.
