WHY WE SAVE
No. 9.
Prepared for the War Savings
Organization for Illinois.

WE don't have to fight TO be pa

eminent In times of peace is just as
patriotic
War financing is az It's height.
Though hostilites have ceased the
governments war expenditures still
total something Ike $50 .OOUOS0 day.
supplies for an army Of occupation
and during the period of demobiliza-
tion are just as essential rs guns and
ammunition during the period Of war
fare.
The great principle underlying the
War Savings movement Is thrift-the
transformation Of II part of ones In
come into an inYeStlnent-bnt 1t is also
revenue measure. The people must
continue 10 lend their savings to the
government.
Buying War Savings stamps is q
form of peaceful patriotism plus per
sonal profit in which the poor and
rich, men, women and children can
share.
II War Savings stamps are Il good
thing during war they are good
thing after the war. From among the
millions of savers and purchasers Of
War Savings stamps throughout the
country nnumerabe requests have
come To the government that the War
Savings stamp campaign be continued
permanently.
No other war activity has developed
so much Of the latent patriotism in
the American people as has the War
Savings campaign. The importance OF
loan directed to the so-called com
mon people cannot be estimated In
dollars and cents. The money sub
>cribed TO this loan is represented
largely by day-to-day savings, The
government, therefore, not only re
ceiyes the money but at the same time
has released for its urgent need an
equivalent amount In materials and
labor
In eighteen months the American
people subscribed for SlS.OOUUUOUto
of Liberty bonds aud War Savings Ger
titiCateS.
The cash outgo from the treasury
during the current fiscal year, ending
June 30, will amount to $4,000, 100000.
There is feeling of relaXation-a
feeling of satisfaction that all
war work already is done, bur if we
Quit saving now we leave the task un-
finished. Victory has come earlier
than we might reasonably have eX-
pected but victory should not cause
Us TO neglect the completion Of that
work which made victory possible.
The armistice has stopped acts Of
war hut not the state of war. 1t will
continue until the last American sol
der and sailor is brought back to
American ShOres--iudeed, until the
last surviving American soldier OF
sailor had been restored by care and
science to the condition and health he
enjoyed before enlisting.
We must be prepared to meet every
one OF the innumerable problems that
the task of rehabilitation and recon
struction presents If We do less we
will fail in our duty toward those who
have fully discharged their duty
toward US.

STATE GIVES BONUS
FOR ARTES|AN WELLS

Reports from j. w. Rowley, who
is engaged in driving a well for ar
tesian water near Preston, for the
county of White Pine, show the exact
depth of the we'll on October. 25 to
have been 295 feet. The nature of
the soil through which the drill is
reported to be driving is cemented
gravel, clay, and sand. No indica-
tions of artesian water are expected
until a much greater depth has been
reached
The State law provides a bounty
for the sinking of artesian wells
where flowing water is obtained, pay
ing for the first 200 feet $1.20 per
foot, and paying on graduated scale
up to 1000 feet. For all depths ex-
ceeding 1000 feet the bounty is IS
per foot for each and every foot be-
low 1000. An additional bounty of
$1,000 is paid for every well sunk to
depth of 1000 feet or more, pro-
vided that such well shall furnish
10000 gallons of water every twenty
four hours and flowing continuously
for thirty days; and the law further
provides that no two wells shall re-
ceive the bounty if located in the same
county. The well first furnishing the
required amount of water is the well
to receive the bounty.
The law providing for the payment
of bounty for artesian wells also ap-
plies to the first discovery of oil or
natural gas.
To encourage the sinking of arte-
sian wells the law provides for the
payment of 50 per foot after the first
500 feet shall have been sunk.-[The

GRAvEL-F|LLED RUTS
HELP TRAVEL MUCH

Z s. X. Bradford, known as a scout
for the West End Mining Company,
believes he travels more over the
roads of Nevada, in general, than any
other man. Therefore he claims to
know something about Nevada roads,
their shortcomings, and their possi-
bilities. He says he recently came
into Golconda over seven-mile
stretch of road built from the Rock
Creek ranch to connect with the road
running south from the town. This
road work was done by a couple of
Portuguese laborers at the ranch,
in accordance with the scheme which
has been advocated by The Silver
State all of this year. 1t consists
simply of filing ruts with the crushed
rock which is locally known as
gravel" Mr.. Bradford says the ranch
road was in really good shape when
he came over it,
The idea Of graveling ruts on des-
ert roads. he declares, is first to fill
up chuckholes and ruts, and at the
same time make a beginning at a
road which will not blow away. The
ruts will form again. of course. and
chuck holes will appear; but by fol-
lowing up the filling process year
after year a permanent foundation
is gradually secured. None of the
work is lost. AS successive filings
take place the road works itself out
wider and becomes more solid.
Work of this kind can be done rap
idly, provided a camping outfit goes
out and works straight along, so that
there is no time wasted in going out
from and returning to some given
point. The benefit is immediate. 1t
counts for every yard of work. With
a small portable type of gasoline
rock crusher there would be no long
hauls of gravel required in any part
of Humboldt county.
All drivers who have been inter-
viewed approve this plan as practi-
cal and well within the means of the
county at the present time. County
roads are reported very much better
than they were month ago.

After serving seventeen years as
treasurer for Humboldt county, be-
sides having been elected as assem-
blyman before, F. G. Hoenstine passed
on to his reward at 6 o'clock last
night. His last illness commenced
seven weeks ago when he was taken
from train at Inlay, returning from
a trip to Reno
Treasurer Hoenstine was born at
st. Gainesville, Pennsylvania, sixty
six years ago April %. AS a young
man he came West and in 1878 was
in the United States army service
with the Sixth infantry. stationed at
Fort Buford, Montana, and Fort
Washaca, Wyoming. His company
was included in the relief party sent
to the scene of the Mecca massacre,
at which time the Ute Indians killed
all members of battalion of troop
ers. Later Hoenstine received His
discharge at Fort Douglas, Utah.
Whether Treasurer Hoenstine came
here before that time is uncertain.
He never talked much about his early
life. even with intimate friends, but
It Is said his first work in this vicin-
ity was driving header machine for
the late J. p. Burns Sr. at Paradise
Valley during the year 1876 Then
he was employed in Golconda mer-
camille store and for time lived at
Unionville. y
Twelve years ago at Reno he mar
ried Miss Cora Nicholas of Winnie
mucca. To them was born a daugh-
ter. Frances, now eight years of age.
Besides his widow, two sisters and
one brother. residing in Pennsylvania,
survive him.
Treasurer Hoenstine was active in
fraternal work and was an officer in
the local lodges of Eagles and
Knights of Pythias. brother officers of
which orders have announced assem-
bly, of members at Winneva hall at
1870 o'clock tomorrow to attend the
funeral in a body.
With happy and jovial disposition
Hoenstine was well liked by all who
met him. He could always be de-
pended upto to have something to say
worth listening to. Many were his
acts of charity never afterwards men
toned. His loss is keenly felt by all
residents and is the sole topic of con-
versation today.
The funeral is to be public and the
services will be held at the Hoenstine
home, at Fifth and Melarkey streets,
at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
