Great stocks of wheat are iso lated in India, and Australia, At great sacrifice In ship apace and use the Allies are forced to se cure some wheat from Argentina. On January 1, Australia had stored 100,000,000 bushels of wheat that was ready for ex port but there were no ships. Then came the new crop with an exportable surplus of 80,000, 000 bushels. Now Australia has approximately 180,000,000 bush els waiting for ships. India, at the same time, had 70,000,000 bushels of wheat stored for export. During April 50,000,000 bushels more out of the new crop will be added to the pile. Argentina closed the last ship ping season with 11,000,000 bushels of wheat left in the stock available for export. The new crop will add 135,000,000 to the left over. It is not a problem that the wheal does not exist in the world it is entirely a problem of shipping, which has thrown on America the obligation of divid ing our stock with the Allies. The To Sawe m i i I V V n a i rv II 7AR SAVIi;G3 STWiPO ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT The War Savings Plan, by which our Government expects to raise more than two billion dollars during the next twelve months, not only provides an opportunity for the millions of loyal Americans, whose meager income prevents their subscribing for Liberty Bonds, to lend their small savings to their country it has a much wider scope. It is an appeal ta every man, woman and child of the nation, whether their income be measured in dollars or thousands of dollars, to limit their purchases to necessary commodities to SAVE and lend their savings to the Government. The Saving is as indispensable as the Lending The truth of this is apparent to every thinking person. The great war we are waging for freedom necessitates the putting of hundreds of thousands of men in the field and keeping them fed and clothed. It necessitates the production of ships and shells, guns and motor trucks and airplanes and hospital supplies. To produce these things will require the combined effort of most of the big industrial plants of the country, which are still making for you and your friends all the pleasant and comfortable luxuries you consumed before the war. You bought Liberty Bonds, of course, and you'll buy more next month. That is patriotic and highly commendable. But you are not doing enough when you draw money out of the bank and invest it in Government securities. You must do more. You must buckle down and make it your own personal daily business to help win the war. You must give up the things you don't need. The Government must have money a tremendous quantity of money and it must have the productive labor of millions of workers who are now making unnecessary articles for yon and other Ameri cans who can afford to buy them. Get the Thrift Stamp Habit You, Mr. Business Man : When you go home tonight, take your wife a Thrift Card, with a dozen stamps attached, instead of a box of candy or a box of flowers. If she is the right sort, she will appre ciate it far more than she would candy or flowers. And you, Society Women: Give War Savings Stamps for prizes at your card parties for favors at your luncheons for wedding gifts and anniversary remembrances, or buy stamps with the money the parties ccst. .

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, at San Francisco, Oct. 11, 1917. Ameri can blood calls to you. Buy Liberty Bonds. Play Fair with the Child Thousands of schcol children throughout America are being en couraged to save their pennies and put them into War , Savings Stamps. And to their eternal credit let it ba known that they are responding cheer fully. They are foregoing many of the little pleasures they have been accus tomed to enjoy. Licorice drops are few and far between. Cinnamon loz enges are things of the past and chewing gum is worked overtime. Moving pictures are taboo. For the pliant child mind can ba swayed easily by argument. The kiddies accept as gospel, in most cases, whatever the parent tells them. But what are you doing to hold up your end of the responsibility, Mr Head-of-the-house? Are you practic ing any of the self denials you are encouraging, in your little ones? Don't be a piker. Play fair with the child. Cut out some of your own extravagances and begin saving up for the next Liberty Ixan campaign. It's coming along soon. . 8WESS3Y ft UOBSHOUS3 Attorney at Law (Washoe Bank Bid's. Reno) Carson Valley Bank Bid's CARSON CITY - - NEVADA "Civilians, YOUR firing lint is where you buy your war bonds."

The rest will not quit; but we could win it without them it we had to do it. The farmers of the United States can whip Ger many. We can whip them with guns. We can whip them with our products. We can whip them with our money. Every fanner in the United States must remember that the war has a first mortgage on every cent he has. The last spare cent in the pockets of every farmer in America should be devoted to the war. . The Kaiser began foreclosing his mortgage on our farms when he de clared ruthless submarine warfare. The war is our answer to his bill of foreclosure. Our contribution is, first, our sons and brothers for the trenches; sec ond, the last pound of food products which we can grow by mobilizing our scanty labor supply, utilizing the men, women and children and the towns people about us; and third, money for Liberty Bonds. This is the crucial year of the war. Our soldiers are at the front, hun dreds of thousands of them in the trenches, and a million more ready to go. The whole burden of carrying on our own part in the war, and of aid ing our sister nations in arms, rests on the United States Treasury. If the treasury fails or falters or finds itself unable to respond to every call upon it, the war is lost. Do you realize that? Tour son, and all the nation's sons are relying on the United States Treasuiy to furnish things with which they may fight. Their lives are lost if the treasury fails. Our country is lost if the treas ury fails. Germany wins if the treasury fails. Therefore every cent you can rake and scrape together helongs to the treasury, that our soldiers may come back to us alive and victorious. This Is literally true. We can whip the Germans with our money; but not with the money in our pockets or bank accounts. It must go into the United States Treasury in subscrip tions to Liberty Bonds. J. If. PRAXIS Attorney at Law Office: 223 N. Virginia St, Poomi 2 and 4 RENO .... NEVADA While Gerard was our ambassador in Berlin, the Kaiser said to him one day that he would stand no nonsense from America after the war. Do you know what that means? It means that the Germans intend to subjugate this country if they come out of this war victorious. The German Imperial government has preached the superiority of Ger many to all the rest of the world un til the German nation is drunk with megalomania. One of their great writers expressed the prevailing, of ficial view in 1903, when he wrote: "The Teutonic race is called upon to circle the earth with its rule, to ex ploit the treasures of nature and of human power, and to make the pas sive races servient elements in its cultural development Who ever has the characteristics of the Teutonic race is superior. All the dark peoples are mentally inferior, be cause they belong to the passive races. The cultural value of a cation is measured by the quantity of Teu tonism it contains." Are you one of the darker races? Are you willing to be rated as one of the "servient elements" in Ger many's cultural development? You began to be one of the "servi ent elements" when peaceful people were slaughtered as they carried your produce to market. Was it because you belonged to a "passive race?" This war is for the purpose of say ing to that insane claim, with the roar of a hundred thousand cannon "NO!" Never since the Turks threatened to overwhelm Europe was the world in such danger as now. Germany must be defeated this year. Unless we win, our place in the world is lost, and our history as one of the "servient elements" begins. We must withhold nothing from the support of the war. We must give our sons. We must bring forth food in abundance. We must give into the treasury of the United States every cent we can spare. This summer the support of the war is up to the farmers; and Uncle Sam has never called upon the fanners la vain! CHARTZ ft CHARTZ John If. Charts Alfred Chart!
