BUSINESS BRISK AT
GARDNERVILLE

No less than seven AUTO trucks are
now operating between this point and
Mono county. The Antelope Valley
Land & Cattle company has four
trucks engaged in hauling seven car
loads of lumber from Minden to thei
ranches in Antelope Valley, while the
other trucks are engaged in hauling
supplies to the different towns in that
county-Record-C Courier.

control clubs are very effective when
first organized and at work, but when
cholera disappears from the county
the organization tends to disintegrate
ON the other hand the farm bureau is
constantly engaged on other lines and
is ever ready to handle cholera when
i appears.
Lend Instruments to Farmers.
The work of the county agents is
often supplemented by the service:
Of specialists from agricultural col.
legcs and the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. In a number
Of States farm bureaus and cholera,
control clubs have purchased instru-
ments to lend to the farmers and have
stored supplies Of serum to have il
Immediately available when needed
and to lessen the cost OF vaccination
Reports to the department show ap-
proximatcly 2,959,322 hogs killed by
cholera for ,he year ended March 81
1917. These hogs would have made
approximately 295,932200 pounds OF
pork which would have furnished =

men for 100 days. Reports OF the
agents also show that in counties and
communities where campaigns were
undertaken and the suggested pro-
gram followed, the loss from hog
cholera was very materially reduced.

Spread of Disease Prevented.
The special value of such organiza-
lions is that the disease is caught be-
fore it has had time to infect all hogs
IN herd or spread to neighborine
herds. The agent in Kingsbury
County, S. Oak. reports that last year
10 different outbreaks occurred, with .
loss of l54 head, whereas in 1915
1880 head were lost from cholera
In this county the community organi-
zation plan was followed. In John
son County. Ind, where community
meetings were held, the result has far
exceeded the county agents expect
ations, according to his report. Farm
ers cooperated heartily in preventing
the spread of the disease, farms were
thoroughly disiniected, hogs were vac
cinated early, neighbors were notified
of outbreaks in order that they might
protect their own herds, and incon-
sequence there have been less than
80 cases of cholera in the county this
year, and in no instance has the dis
ease gotten beyond control.

ment when she heard the train sig
nal and the moment when the cars
pulled in under the arches of the sta
ton she reviewed her life-or, at least,
the years, months and hours of which
she had retained the most poignant
memories.
Her marriage; her monotonous and,
then, unhappy life in little garrison
town; her uncongenial home, differ
ences in tastes, quarrels; the emptiness
of the days, the solitude of the even
ings; the sleepless nights, in which one
longs regretfully for that which might
have been and in which one breads the
dawn and what each new morning must
bring in the way of WEAKNESS, discour-
agement and ennui.
The Place, planted with linden trees,
where, when one day she had COM
planned of being neglected, her hus-
band had simply shrugged his shout
ders; the little street, its paving stones
encircled with moss with the straight,
narrow windows, behind which one is
sure there are watchful eyes and alert
ears J., where, when she had said to him:
II am a virtuous woman; ! wish to re-
main a virtuous woman; but you push
me too far" he had turned on her
brutally, as he opened the door Of their
house, and answered: Don't bore me
by talking about your virtue" Next,
the meeting with him whom she ought
TO have known long before-their great
love with its poisoned joys. Then the
resolution to break with everything, the
confession, the divorce refused her by
her husband, without anger, with
grin, maliciously. And, finally, the
war: the chilling solitude; the anguish
of feeling her thoughts divided, after
all, between two persons; the dispatch
announcing her husbands death.
The train was in the station. Among
I the faces appearing at the doors she
recognized at once the one which she
sought. People josted her; she dared
not run and mingle with the crowd.
A year weighted with anXieties sepa-
rated them. A happiness created by a
bereavement so brutal reunited them.

her and walked quickly toward her.

eagerly the return of soldier, noth-
ing would have prevented him from
taking her into his arms. But he

without either speaking. Couples
passed close by them; old women EN-
braced little troopers, and old men,
clad in blue. with caps of blue, lifted

open eyes. They caught on the wing
scraps of conversation like these:

month after month, they endured still;
swept by rife and machine gun fire,
blown up by mines, buried alive by
mortar bombs, their very trenches
smitten fiat by high explosives yet
they endured and held on. They died
all day and every day, but their
places were filed by men just as
iiercely determined. And ever as the
countless German batteries fell silent
their troops in dense gray waves
hurled themselves upon shattered
British trench and duF-out and found
there wild men in TUNES torn and
bloody and mud-bespattered, who,
shouting in fierce joy. leapt to meet
