Ne eau thank God ;he Father this
season that. Notwithstanding all the
toll and mcil of the aftermath Of the
war. there appear evidences of infalli-
Bile proofs that He is on His throne.
and that on His right hand sits the
Christ the Son in all the majesty of
the divine glory OF the second Person
of HE Godhead, and that IN and
throughout the blessed COMPANY OF all
faithful people is working the HOLY
Ghost, the Spirit OF the Three Persons
in One God that We call the Trinity in
Unity.
Are not the churches in our country
being inspired afresh 10 view the
fields that are white TO the harvest
and TO renewed efforts TO garner
them?
Are there not fewer and even fewer
to say they don't believe in foreign
missions" and so to declare their UNI
belief in the fulnesS of God who was
TO Jesus my Father and your Faith
ere
Yes. | believe we can thank God
that we are in the stretch of many

ton of every man in the courtroom
witnesses, attaches and spectators
The court gave all OF the attorneys
the utmost attention.
beginning at the beginning, Mr.
Parker went over the entire case. His
attitude. he made plain, was not AN
tagonistic to the defendants. Like
his partner Mr.. Stack. he thought
very highly of a number of the of
ticers, especially those whose homes
are IN Union county Mr.. Parker cited
the testimony of a number of witness
es in his efforts TO convince the court
that the police shot unnecessarily and
without sufficient proyocation. He
asked that the court bind the police
men over so that jury could pass on
what was branded by defense attor
neys as one of the most important

PATRIOTISM CALLED
MERELY SKIN DEEP

with but three days left, Nevada
has subscribed only twenty-five per
cent of her quota for Victory bonds
1t begins to appear that our much
advertised patriotism of the war pc
riod was but skin deep and unless all
communities greatly speed UP from
now until Saturday, Nevada must
stand before her sister states ashamed
and humiliated.
Each county should consider from
two standpoints: First, to make its
own quota and then to over-subscribe
to make up for failure of some other
county. More than merely the glory of
individual counties is at stake In
our hands rests the honor of our
State. LENNON"
That is the telegram received yes
terday from Hal Lennon, State
director.
Asked this morning how Humboldt
county stood in the buying of bonds,
Harry Oastler said not quite forty per
cent of the quota assigned to us here
has been subscribed.
1t was thought the arrival of the
airplane this afternoon would be pro-
ductive of the sale of bonds, but few
were sold. So it appears that Lem
mons accusation of skin-deep patriot
ism may be applied. Oastler said:
Tell them to wake up. Tell Hum
boldt county to wake up and save the
day and our honor. We say the loan
must go over, but the fact is it
will not unless folks put them
selves to the front and buy now"

SAMPLE OF RICHLAND ORE
ATTRACTING MUCH INTEREST

A large sample of ore brought in
yesterday from the Richland Mines
Company property, located nine miles
northwest of Inlay, has attracted con-
siderable attention today. The speci-
man is in the window the the First
National Bank and is said to be an
average sample of the ore picked up
on the surface of the property. Assay
reports show it to contain 31.50
ounces of silver to the ton; eleven per
cent lead. and 40 ounce of gold, worth
in all s49.95 per ton.
Inquiries were numerous concern
ing prospects of securing ground near
the Richland, but it was found all the
adjoining ground had quietly been
staked Operations are to commence
Immediately.

DANGEROUS FIRE IN
GARAGE IS STOPPED

Fire was discovered at 1925
O'Clock Thursday night in the build
ing at the corner of Bridge and Sec
ond streets, owned. by w. L. Wilkin-
son and occupied by the Overland
Trail Garage, operated by w. NJ.
Wilkinson.
Passersby noticed smoke coming
from the building, turned in an
alarm and attacked the fire with
buckets of water. They were able to
hold the fire in check to a large ex-
tent until the firemen arrived, and
then it was a matter of only a few
moments for the chemical to kill it
completely. At first it was thought
crossed wires were the cause, but a
later investigation led to the belief
that a cigar or cigarette carelessly
thrown away precipitated the blaze
The fire started in a small room in
the rear of the building
The building is an old one, con-
structed of wood, and was formerly
occupied by Summerfield & Pearce as
livery stable. Had the flames gotten
few more moments start a dis
astrous fire would have resulted As
it is, the damage is slight, entirely
covered by insurance.
The old fire bell in the hose house
did noble job of ringing and for
once aroused the citizens, as was
attested by a regular circus-day
crowd at the fire.
