BEING PUT
IN STORAGE AT MINDEN

Tons upon tons of potatoes are be-
ing stored in the big warehouse at
Minden and gives concrete evidence
of the bumper crop of tubers now be-
ing harvested in this Valley. While
in years gone by, few carloads of
potatoes have been shipped from this
Vale, usually with no profit to the
grower. However, with the present
price in effect. and the excellent
quality of the crop, ready sale and
fair profit should result.

HEAVY FREEZE DOES

Orchard owners in many parts of
this Valley were caught mapping by
Jack Frost one night last week and
as a consequence many winter apples
that were still ON the trees were
badly frozen. Just how extensive was
the damage is not known, but many
hundred of boxes OF fruit Is reported
to have been ruined by the heavy

MOUNTAIN HOUSE is
SOLD TO A. JENSEN

The Mountain House, eighteen miles
south of Gardnerville and owned by
Ed Donovan for the post several
years, was sold last week to A. Jen-
sen, who purchased the property for
its value as a sheep range and shear
ing and lambing point.
Years ago the Mountain House was
one of the important stage stations
between Carson and the once famous
mining camp of Bodie. 1t was con-
Quoted for many years by Charlie

to Donovan
Mr.. Donovan, with his son expects
to leave shortly for Milpitas, CAL,
where they will engage in farming.
Although there are but few teams
freighting on the road between this
point and Mono county at the present
time, and their numbers are con-
stantly growing less, because of the
swift motor trucks, those that still
stick to the slow method of transpor-
tation, will find it difficult to make
their drives. unless camping out is re-
sorted to by the teamsters. The clos
ing of the Rodenbah station recently,
and with the Mountain House to fol-
low, wipes out the two remaining
stations between Gardnerville and
Mono county.

Buy a Bond

If you hate oppression and lust and shame
If you hate the fend with his eyes afame,
If you burn with wrath at the word and the need
Of a crew of pirates whose only creed
Is the law of might and the rule of force
And death to all who oppose their course;
If an anger terrible sears your brain
At children murdered and women slain.
At crimsoned seas and at backened sod
All done in the name Of a Prussian God;
If you hate these things and you cannot go
To fight the cruel and ruthless foe
You CAN be loyal, you CAN respond,
You CAN come forward and BUY A BOND!"
If you love your country your home, your fag
If you would not witness that banner drag
In the dust of failure; if still you care
For what is lovely and true and fair;
If freedom isn't an empty word
But thing you love; if your heart is stirred
By thought of world made safe and free
For the sake Of common humanity
If these things worth while to you,
This is the service that you do,
Though you may not battle across the pond"
You CAN save money and BUY BONDw

boards is invoked and everything IN

10 Governor Manning is as follows:
Concerning dependency on the
grounds of marriage: Please call at
tention of local boards to the fact
that soldiers pay is not less than

4. of the selective service act pro-
yides that those in a status with re-

exclusion or discharge advisable, may
be discharged but it does not require
that they shall be discharged in all

upon.

Secretary Daniels today stated tna'
labor troubles were seriously deiaJ-
ing some of the repair work on the
German liners taken over in the port
OF New York. Mediators of the labor
department will first try to stralg ten
ont the tangle If they fail, either
the German ships will be rushed 10
nayv wards for the completion OF tlelr
repairs, or the yards will be con'
mandeered under the shipping law, or
those UOrkmen within the conscrlp-
tion ages will find themselves drafted
into the national army and assigned
to duty on their old jobs. AS 1t Is
understood that the only difference
between the mere bosses IN TINS
instance is so cents a day in wages,
is probable that none of these drastic
measures will have to be resorted 20
Little attention has hitherto been
paid to the Pomerene amendment to
the food control bill which gives the
trade commission such drastic pow
ers. The trade commission, however
has been busy with it's preliminary IN
vestigation of coal costs for weeks
before the senate gets through talk
ing about the bill the trade commits
sion will be ready to act. The sams
NAV be said of the machinery Which
Herbert Hoover is preparing Tor tne
food administration.
Under the Pomerene amendments
the trade commission having found
the cost of coal may fix a fair price
and may order its distribution. This
will be done either by pooling the
OUTPUT of certain districts and setting
maximum price, or by taking over
the actual coal and selling it through
government agencies at this cost plus
2 reasonable profit to be paid to the
owners.
Military legislation has long ago
been completed. With the passage OF
the food control bill the adminsltra-
ton believes that the industrial mo-
bilization of the nation viii be ae-
compished.
The administration is hopeful that
the appearance of this huge power
ready against Germany will bring
serious peace terms from the Teuton
empires, But the administration is
not permitting that hope to interfere
with the ASSEMBLING of its vast ma
chine.

Attitude to Labor

Many OF these things are not OF the
moment. The conscription OF labor
ing men is provided for in the select
i've service act. 1t is not expected by
any of the officials in close touch WITH
the labor situation that it will ever
have to be resorted to. Labor trou-
b]es all over the country have so far
been successfully settled by other
means. But should the time ever
come when the program of the gov
ernment is held up by the lmpossi-
bilitv Of inducing laboring men to re-
sumo work, this power will be called

Use Of Idle
Lands imperative

Andrew M. SouIe, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture
The South possesses vast areas of
land which have not been cultivated
up to the present time, yet are capa-
bic Of growing large quantities of food
at reasonable cost if skillfully ham
died, This applies not only to idle
farm land, but to the vacant lands sur
rounding manufacturing plants and the
cut-over lands belonging to lumber
men. Some manufacturers are giving
their employees one or two days off
each week for the cultivation of these
lands; patriotic example which
should appeal to all employers. Few
people realize that shipping facilities
will be greatly curtailed this fall and
winter and that it may be out of the
question to ship supplies into the state,
even should the West have large
surplus. Therefore, even though the
production is normal, it may be i'm
possible for the South to obtain the
surplus of other sections On the 9TH
er hand, if the food production is a
partial failure, there may be acute suf.
fering in the South, which can be pre-
vented only by the careful utilization
OF all agricultural lands in the produc-
ton of food and forage This is imper-

Fire Destructive
To Grazing Interests

Various studies by experts Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture and of the College of Agricul-
ture prove beyond doubt the fact that
the annual burning of the range is
very detrimental to the grazing inter-
ests. Surveyed areas, part of which
were burned over annually, showed
markedly the effect of fire. The burn
ed-over areas supported smaller
amount Of coarse, worthless forage
than did the unburned areas. In addi-
ton, the unburned areas showed a
gradual increase in the variety and
kind of valuable forage plants. The
stock grazing on the two classes of
areas were weighed each year, show
ing an advantage Of several pounds
per head in favor of the unburned
range.
