visitors.
After the lodge session the grand
master was entertained at a ban
quet at which Past Master David
Aspland officiated as POSTMASTER,
the first speaker of the evening
being Deputy Grand Master Thomas
Lindsay of Tonopah. Mr.. Lindsay,
at the close of his address, extended
an invitation to members of Monte
yuma lodge to attend the grand

pah in June, at which the 20Oth
anniversary of the foundation of
Masonry in England will be cele-
brated. Brief talks were also made

Buy Ford Fire Truck

At a special meeting of the
Warren Fire Engine company OF
Carson, called for the purpose OF
appropriating $500 for the purchase
of a Ford truck, which will be used
as an auxiliary for the big fire
truck and will carry an equipment
furnished by the town. 1t is claimed
that the truck can be taken places
where it is impossible to take the
larger one. The company has pur-

a BODY to suit it's needs, the total

Women on Grand Jury

Men outnumber women by the
narrow margin of one on the Hum
boldt county grand jury for this
year. Usually the presiding Judge
is besieged with applications for
release from grand jury service, but
this year it is different, and it is
thought that the fact that eight
women have been subpoenaed for
service has something to do with
the almost unanimous willingness
of the men to serve. Only one
man asked to be excused and his
request was granted.

ENTIRE WEST IN
GRIP OF STORM


Goldfeld was visited by a severe
snowstorm last night, the fall con-
tinuing the greater part of today.
1t was extremely disagreeable
weather and the ground was slip
perry under foot. The business man
and the resident were compelled to
get out their mucksticks and do
manual labor in ar effort to keep
the walks clear of the beautiful"
AS the shovels were welded with
telling effect, the manipulation of
the machinery could frequently be
heard to remark: at is a pleasure
to live in Nevada"
The storm was general through
out the west and the Western Union
wire to San Francisco was cut of
commission all day, communication
with this city being by the way of
Salt Lake. This method of des-
patching continued until 3 o'clock
this afternoon, when that wire was
found TO be out Of order.

ARRESTED WHILE INTOXICATED

VIII Dlckmyer, a miner, was ar
rested last night while trying to
enter the butcher shop next to the
Consolidated Mines company store
on Main street. He was found at
the front door with a bunch of keys
in his hand. He was in an ad-
vanced stage of intoxication and it
is thought that he had lost his bear
ings and become confused to such
an extent hat all doors looked alike
to him.

there is serious, immediate Short

Every available medium for keep
ing the food pledge before every
man, woman, and child in the
United States must be used during
the whole period of the war and
even for considerable period af-
forwards. For this problem of saw
ing food is responsibility put up
on everyone every day. To the in
dividual at the breakfast or dinner
table it may seem, one Of the lesser
duties of war. But in the mass it is
one of our greatest and most inn
mediate duties. Every publication

daily work of reminding the Ameri-
can people of this duty renders
true patriotic service.

THE FOOD PLEDGE

The food pledge is making its way
very rapidly with the whole Ameri-
can people, but the terrible world
emergency behind it has not yet
come home to all of US. Living in
a land which now has the largest
remaining stock of food in the
world, we are a little slow to real
ize that this stock can not possibly
be our own to use as we see fit,
but must be divided with countries
where famine is constant haunt
ing specter. We live in the midst of
plenty this year. But famine is just
across the seas, and next year, or
two years from now, it may be in
our own land unless we can realize
the full significance of food saving
today and adjust cur habits to pro-
vide for tomorrow.
Every provision of the food
pledge, from wheat to soap fats,
has been carefully thought out af-
ter detailed study of the worlds
supply of food today and its prob
able supplies for several years to
come.
Butter must be conserved because
the worlds stock of edible fats is
rapidly diminishing and an increas-
ed production can not be secured
except by organized effort in the
dairy and allied industries extending
over several years.
Sugar must be conserved because

We left Sunday at noon or one
thirty rather, and barely had time
to get back to the ships as they
had already left the dock when we
got back from church.
The entrance to st. Johns is not
more than a stones throw across
the channel, it is well nigh impas-
sable when mined. The entire
country simply rises out of the sea
and before one realizes il the ia
nous "Grand Banks of N. f." are
towering above them. The city
proper is just inside and at the
head and end of the harbor, and
then around the hills are the homes
of the fishermen. These hills are
terraced with rudely built plat
forms for drying the cod fish on
top, and they hang their nets over
the ends of the rafters. Steamers
are only occasional now since so
many have bee destroyed by Subs"
no mention of arrival or departure
dates are ever published in their
papers. English Naval Reserves
are the only representatives of the
navy here, but the soldiers are all
being trained for duty on the other
side. Uniforms are profuse here.
Along the streets and in church one
can notice the grim popularity of
black; and especially during special
prayers-tears.
Believe me, "Mom," it won't be
long before you can see and will
see, the same thing being enacted
in our own country. But it has to
be, so we will just have to take a
brace and prepare for the very
worst, because it isn't very far off.
We had nice trip down to New
York, received my first pay but
had to spend it, practically for ne
cessities in the way of warm cloth
ing and rubber outer garments. i
need heavy wooden gloves and sox
for my boots, what kind of a knit
ter are you?
