Wilson returned the first of the week from McDermitt, where, in company with Geo. W. Hayes of Vale, he had gone in re- SDonse to »n S. O. S. call to organize a Council of Patriotic Service. The prin cipal need of such an organization was to put into effect the government’s recent “ work or fight” order." The slackers there were in the habit of slip ping from one side of the state line to the other as the occasion demanded in order to escape the officers trying to enforce the order. An organization was formed on each side of the line and hereafter when a slacker steps across the line from ope state he will find an officer on the other side waiting with open arms to receive him. On their return they stopped at Jor dan Valley and organized a Council of Patriotic Service at that place. Messrs. Hayes and Wilson haue pre pared a complete report of their pro- ceedidgs, which will be forwarded to the State Council of Defense.

The cere mony was performed in the presence of a few intimate friends of the con* tracting parties. Rev.
