as having occurred in a Kansas town.
He was in ticket office and watched
the proceedings. A man came to the
window and asked for ticket to Kan.

The man dug into a we'll worn pock-

"How soon does this train got" he
inquired.
"In Is minutes" replied the agent.
The man hurried away. Soon he was
back with three silver dollars, with
which he bought ticket.

"waIl streetn In the Films.

Wall street is the most popular in
strument we have for running heroes
quickly or elevating them to sudden
wealth.
In many films the ''street" is intro
duced in some way or another either
to increase the fortunes of the lucky
hero or to encompass the ruin Of the
village bank cashier. The habitue Of
the street is always represented as
wearing a luxurious fur-lined coat and
silk hat. For some fancied insult OF
family quarrel, one broker will deter
mine on the ruin of another. Brokers
are always deadly enemies of each
other in the picture, and when engaged
in running" some enemy are always
shown in their shirt sleeves with a
half dozen telephones at hand; men
are running in and out of the office
with handfuls of stock certificates EN-
bellished with large seals; and, last,
but not least, the ticker inexorably
grinds out yards and yards Of ruin

Joys OF HONEYMOON DAYS
AZ q Couple Grows Old, the Memory
Helps to Brighten the Journey
the Rest OF the Way.

Honeymoons have been the fashion
% long their origin seems enshrouded
In the mists Of antiquity.
Just who ever started the first hon.
eymoon is not known, but its incep-
ton was without doubt happy one.
June being the accepted month for
weddings, naturally it is the time wher
most honeymoons are taken.
It is the grand climax Of the we'd
dlngs. The bride has been looking for.
ward to 1t for months, maybe for
years.
After the ceremony (under which
the poor little bride has almost brok.
en- down through the nervous strain
and the bridegroom has felt about as
lively and important as the only male
in the audience Of national suffra-
gette meeting); after the congratula:
tory expressions from friends and rel
atives; after the wedding supper; af-
ter the rice and old shoes have been
thrown-comes the wedding trip.
On the train comes the pretense Of
fooling conductor, passengers and por.
ter; that they are really not newly
married couple must be assumed.
That stunt has been pulled by every
body who ever got married and yet no.
body ever got away with it.
Anybody can spot bride and bride
groom anywhere and any time.
They show it as plainly as II they
wore tag upon which in large letters
was printed the words. 1--WE Are New
~ Married-Have Heart"
Honeymoons are the happiest times
Of the married state. Can't you look
back across the years and see yourself
when you had the heavy role in that
little drama Of your life? Can't you
see again the sweet little star who
played opposite you, so timidly, 50
trustingly, as she kept one eye on her
suitcase and the other on your pocket
book?
All, Time, you are a heartless old
thief. You steal away our years Of
dew.kissed happiness; you rub out the
rose bloom of youth and you rub in the
wrinkles, but you can't reach the hui.
man heart, you old crook-thank God
you can't touch that, or you would age
that too.
The heart may remain young for.
even for we are only as old as we feel
All you can do is whiten the hair and
rumple the skin, bend the back and
make slow the step, but when couple
love each other, their hearts often turn
back to the honeymoon days and II
helps brighten the journey the rest Of
the way.
Here's to the honeymoon-may /,
never wane.-Florida Times Union.

Why Our Eyes Sparkle.

II you should watch very closely the
eyes Of merry person when you see
them sparkle, you would probably no
tice that the eyelids move up and
down more often under such condi-
lions than ordinarily and if you know
what moving the eyelids up and down
in front of the pupil Of the eye does
you will have your answer. says the
Book of Wonders.
Every time the eyelid comes down
it releases a little tear, which spreads
over the eyeball and washes it clean
and bright. It does this every time
the eyelid comes down. Now, there is
something about being merry which
has the effect of making the eyelids
dance up and down, and thus every
time the lid comes down the ball Of
the eye is washed clean and bright
and gives 1t the appearance of spark
ling, a. we say.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Storage Water
Is Released

Monday Commissioner Hussman
opened the headgates OF Kinney
Lakes, one of the reservoirs owned by
The Alpine Land and Reservoir COM
pany. A flow of twenty second feet
of water has been added to the norm
al flow OF the East Fork When this
reservoir is exhausted, the Kinney
Meadows reservoir will be opened
and through the storage water of
these reservoirs, 1t is estimated that
the present flow of the river can be
Maintained fer at least twenty days.
Records kept by Mr.. Hussman
shows that in 1916 at this date there
were 1876 second feet OF water flowing
IN the East Fork. This year on the
same date IS second feet OF water is
flowing according to measurements.
The snowfall in the mountains last
winter was greater that the year be-
fore but the flow is 60 second feet less.
This is accounted for by the unusual
scrm weather and the many thunder
showers in the mountains which
caused the snow to melt rapidly.
The work on Tamalac lake, one of
The farmers storage reservoirs, has
inceased its stoage capacity ut least
zoo per cent which will greatly add
TO the efficiency of the system for
next season.

STILL WORKING HER GAME
OF BILkING THE PUBLIC

Word comes from Yerington that a
woman is collecting funds for the sup
pert of childrens home in Sparks.
Judging from the information con-
veryed in the letter this is the same
woman who has been playing the
same game off and on for the past
several years. She is, at time, res
id,nt of this city, and has broken in
tc print before for certain shady
transactions
1t would not be amiss for the State
papers to take up the matter and tell
their various readers that there Is
10 children's home in Sparks and
that the woman who is collecting
money has no real authority to col
lect for any institution, but is gull

~ OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ~

Last evening hundreds of Douglas
County people gathered at the Minden
depot to bid farewell to Clarence
Anderson and Edward Granata, the
FIRST two of our young men to answer
the call to arms under the selective
draft. Men women. and children were
there to do homage to the men who
are to take up arms that democracy
,aay triumph. They did their work
we'll. and those who believe that
Patriotism in Carson Valley does not
exist had rude awakening.
shortly before the train pulled out
the two men were presented with
military watches, suitably engraved
gift from the people of Douglas
county. At the train there YVES no
speech making, but every man in the
crowd and many OF the women crowd
c1 forwarded and game the depart
ms men that warm handshake that
carries to the heart more than words.

al heads were barred. AS the last
notes died away, some one shouted

ard mighty echo followed. Tears,
not of sorrow, but of patriotism fiow-
Ell freely.
Many such scenes as the one enact
ed last night is destined to make up
lne lives of our citizens in the days
that are to follow. Mothers and
fathers, sisters, brothers, wives and
swcthearts are to give up those that
re dear to them. Some will never
Lc seen again, others will return
when the spirit of democracy wins.
This is truly time when all are
called upon to be brave-yes, to be
lrave. as brave as the boys who are
leaving for the battlefield.

Soldier Boys
Remembered

A movement was started in this
county few days ago which has al
ieady gained such headway that 1t
can now be announced that. every
man who is called to colors or
who has voluntarily enlisted as one
OF Uncle Sans fighting men will be
PRESENTED with token of apprecia-
tion from those that cannot go. The
plan which has been adopted is that
no person can subscribe more that 25
cents to the fund, the money to be
used In the purshase of military
wrist watches for each of our boys
Each watch will be engraved with the
solCier's name in addition to which
will be the words, Douglas county
v. s. A."
The presentation of these watches
to our Douglas county boys, is not the
idea of any certain faction or inter.
est, but the idea of the whole people
of Douglas county, who hold these
.oung men, the defenders of oul
country in the highest esteem ant
patriotism in their behalf runs high
II will require quite a tidy sum Il
carry out the scheme and the heart,
cooperation of all is urged. Twenty
five cents is small amount, but will
oil the people Of Douglas county
subscribing. 1t can easily be carried
through.
The most treasured keepsake o1
the soldiers of the Nevada battalion
recruited during the Spanish American
war. is a medal presented to each oil
them by the people of Nevada. The
watches to be given to the soldier
boys of Douglas county, will be
equally treasured and is one way ol
Proving to the boys that you are
thinking of them while they are In
the trenches.

COLD
PACK CANNING


with the purpose Of canning as a pre-
lservative, although most of the wo-
nen have practiced canning by the
old method of "the open kettle"
which was by cooking the product in
a kettle. This proved successful for
the most part with fruits where the
syrup served as the preservative, but
often this cooked food was placed in
jars that had not been properly steri-
lized and the result was that spoilage
set in after the jars were sealed.
Under the new method of canning
tine cold pack" the loss of one jar in
go is large percentage.
In this process the fruits and vege-
tables are placed in cans and covered
with a thin syrup or merely hot water
the jars sealed and set in boiling
water or live steam for different
periods. This heat kills all germ life
in the cans and the contents will keep
indefinitely.
The great advantage of this is its
oheapness and ease, no expensive
syrups and spice preservatives are
required and many fruits and vege-
tables can be put up In a comparative
hort time.
In order to give detailed account
Of this cold pack process we will can
IRON the beginning Of the process to
the end.
The first steps consist in the clean
ing and preparation of containers
and rpoducts to be canned. No
vegetables or furits are to be canned
which are withered or unsound. AS
for the containers they should be well
washed to remove any foreign matter
and can be placed in a pan of cold
water and brought to boil. This
sterilization is hardly necessary as
the jars and their contents will be
thoroughly terilized In the boiler dur
ing the process of cooking.
The product is placed in a cheese
cloth bag or wire basket and dipped
into kettle of boiling water to re-
main from to 10 minutes.
In case of greens and green vege-
tables however the scalding in ac-
complished most satisfactory in steam
as the volatile oils and other sub
stances remain in the food under this
treatment
Remove the product from the boil
ing water and plunge at once into a
pan of cold water where it is thor
oughly chilled. One can not empha-
size this too much as the success of
the canned goods depends on this to
great extent.
The product is then packed care
fully into the clean jars. moderately
tight. In case of corn care must be
taken not to pack too tightly as corn
swells and is likely to break the jar.
With peas, the jar should be packed
to one-fourth inch of the top of the
jar.
Rolling hot water in the case of
vegetables and some fruits and boil
ing hot syrups for fruits is added.
With vegetables a level t. of salt is
added to the hot water in each quart
Jar. The tops of jars are added and
artially sealed.
The amount of liquid which remains
in the jar depends on partially seal
ing the jars properly. In the case OF
the screw top mason cover, the Kerr
self sealing Mason and the cover to
the Ball imroved jar, the top is
screwed down as tight as possible
using only the fingers of the hand and
not the whole hand. With the Atlas
