READY
FOR BAND CONCERT

Final rehearsal for the band con-
cert tomorrow night will take place
at the Nixon tonight and if you want
to hear some good music in addition
to the concert tomorrow night, drop
around. The door will be open and
seats are available. Probably the main
business tonight will be a final going
over of the numbers picked for the
program tomorrow night.
Sale of tickets for the benefit con-
cert and picture show at the American
tomorrow night is reported today as
fair and slogan adopted of "If you've
only bought one ticket, buy another"
The band boys want to sell at least
five hundreds tickets at fifty cents and
if possible have 5000 left over to pay
debts after $50 has been paid for rent
of the theatre.
And say, folks-there's nothing
more tickle than a chorus girl or
musician. A good hearty hand at
every opportunity tomorrow night will
do more TO keep Winnemucca's prize
band together than all the money
furnished.

OVERALL CLUBS IN
SPARKS AND E[KO

The movement to swat the high cost
of glad rags by adopting the overall
as the common raiment for common
people has reached Nevada, says the
Reno Gazette. The new style will ap-
pear first under concerted decree at
Sparks, where the women members of
the brotherhood of railroad clerks have
decided to set aside smock, skirts and
dress for the less conventional cover
all attire.
They were scheduled to appear at
tie Offices of the Southern Pacific
company today in their new regalia.
But this movement is not confined to
the women of the brotherhood. The
entire brotherhood has agreed to
align itself with the overall brigade
and those who do not already wear
oyeralls in the big railroad plant will
lose no time in getting into them.
The employees of the Western Pa
cific in Elko started the organization
of an overall club and the idea is
meeting with general approval, as not
single person has so far refused 10
join, according to the Free Press. T.
object of the club is to boycott the
clothing manufacturers in the hope
that this will be means of reducing
the high prices now asked for clothes
Each member pledges that they vii
wear overalls every day, except Sun
day, when they will be permitted to
wear better grade of clothing o.
go swimming. Even the ladies are
joining and while they will not be
asked to wear overalls, they mus
wear clothes made of cheaper ma
terials.
In Reno, too, the plan is about 70
be put into execution. 1t is being
talked of among the bankers and tn
post Office clerks and the employee
of the Nevada Packing Company al
ready have decided to adopt the over
all. These groups, according to their
leaders. will form the nucleus for a

by members of the Republican County

tired of predetermined courses of ac-
tion, and pre-arranged lists of names
of those to be put in power. Their
plan is for everything to be threshed
out on the floor of the meeting This
decision was reached after several
persons had pointed to other organiza-
tion meetings, both political and
otherwise, and deplored the railroad
ing through" OF officers and details.
At this meeting all in attendance are
to have say and action is to be taken
only after they have had plenty of
time to talk.
So be at Winneva hall at s o'clock
tonight, Republicans, and help to form
the Republican County Club. 1t may
be those in attendance tonight will de-
eide upon candidates for the coming
elections.

Thomas ID. IAney, Gifted for brav-

today to two years In the state PEN
itentiary when he pleaded guilty to
forgery before Judge Ralph 8. Lat
shaw. Laney admitted he forged
the name Of Charles II. Mccoy, an
Official for Montgomery Ward and
Company, to a check for $776, which
he cashed In a bank at Sheffield.
The check was forged as the last
desperate attempt to pay debt
which had harrassed him since before
the war, Laney said. Judgment was
granted I4aney's creditor In Solomon,
Kan, the day before Laney enlisted
as private in the Bird regiment, but
the creditors lawyer agreed not to
press the claim while Laney was In
the service.
Laney was promoted from private
to first lieutenant on his record. Then
came the Argonne offensive; later
honorable discharge. Laney return
ed with a citation for bravery, to face

At Gleissner's drug store a bulle-

gress of the straw vote for president
which is being taken at the Rexail

The result so far for Kansas puts
Harding in the lead with a total OF

votes. Abilene people haven't got
started very well. Mr.. Gleissner stat

AT the last presidential election
the Rexall straw vote picked the
winning man for president and the
returns correspond with those OF the
general election in every state IN the
