DR.. Haring, Veterinarian at the
University of California, accompanied
by Dr. Mack State Veterinarian OF
Nevada, and e. Sans, employed by the
federal government in tn eextermina-
tion of rabid coyotes in Nevada, and
Prof. Doten of the University of Ne
vada, were in Gardnerville Wednes-
day, and while here inspected the
work being done by DIR. F. II. Baker,
in treatment of the stock disease COM
monty known as red water. The
serum being used in the treatment of
this disease has worked wonderfully
well and is attracting the attention of
veterinarians throughout the west.
Dr. Baker has treated as high as six
cases daily and but a small percentage
of stock failed to respond to the
treatment.
From here the party went to Ante
lope Valley where the same work is
being carried out by government

great success.

as to extend power lines and make
many needed improvements, the COM
pany was greatly enlarged this week
through the taking in as stockholders
twelve or fifteen leading farmers and
business men of this locality.
Immediately after the company was
reorganized, grain buyers were plac-

wheat and barley has been contracted
for and will be delivered at the CON-

an early date. The mill is to be
started up Immediately to supply the
orders now being received.
AS stated last week, Engineer
Tillingast arrived from Fallon and
has taken complete charge Of finish
ing the power dam on the Carson
river. Mr.. Tillingast has placed a
superintendent in charge, while he
will come up from Fallon quite often
to help in the work. 1t is understood
that the power house is to be moved
to point some distance from the
dam, while the spillway will be ex-
tended entirely across the dam.
A fill below the spillway Is also to be
constructed to break the fall of
water.
The new company has sufficient
capital to carry on the work and will
not be hampered in this respect IN
the least.

it is enough that the picture shows
what war means to the men, the wo-

Lester Hartman
Given Exemption

Reversing its previous action the
district board Tuesday afternoon dis
charged Lester p. Hartman of Elko
from military service. Harriman's S
case was peculiar one and occupied
the attention of the board at several
sessions. He claimed exemption be-
fore the local board of Elko because
of dependent wife but his claim was
not allowed. Before action was TAX
en- on the claim by the Elko board
Hartman was appointed county agent
for the university extenion service In
Douglas and Ormsby counties and
went TO Gardnerville. He failed to
put in an appeal from the action of
the local board to the district board
on his dependency claim but through
Director c. A. Norcross of the extern
sion service put in claim for ex-
emption on Industrial grounds to the
district board.
When his case came up before the
district board his industrial claim was
not allowed and he was certified back
to the Elko board for service. The
district board refused to reopen the
case on industrial grounds and Har-
riman was told that there was no
possible way for him to secure ex-
emption even though he had a de-
pendent wife.
The case was taken through Adjt.-
Gen. Sullivan and the local board of
Elko was ordered to reopen Harri-
mans case and allow him to file an
appeal from its previous descision
even though the ten-day limit for
filing the claim had long since elaps-
ed, says the Gazette.
Hartman is a graduate of the uni
versity with the clf IS OF 1914 and was
former major of the cadet battalion
at the university.

LOCAL SELLING PRICE
Is $3.15 PER HUNDRED
This Price 10 i1emain and No
Advantage to BE Gained
by Holding Grain

An order issued Saturday by the
food administration in conference In
New York fixes definitely the price of
wheat in Nevada and points tributary
to Nevada. Following are the prices
per hundred pounds for No. / wheat,
which in Nevada includes the Blue
stem and Turkey Red yarities:
Reno, 1926.
Minden, $3.15.
Lovelock. $3.22.
Wells, $3.15.

Alturas, Cal, $3.15.
Lakeview. Ore, s3.15.
Club or other soft varieties ten
cents per hundred less than above
prices. White Australian wheat five
cents per hundred less than above
prices.
The order is as follows" The price

entire season and will not be chang

is absolutely illegal for anyone to pay
more for wheat than the price fixed
by the food administration and any
one doing SO is liable to punishment
II is therefort of no advantage for the
farmer TO hold his wheat
The following quotation from a let
ter from Theodore b. Wilcox, chair
man of the Pacific Coast district OF
the food administration. explains the
position:
IF any one In your locality offers
or pays more money for wheat than
the regulations of the food control I'd
NIT of, they are in danger of having
their supply commandeered by the
food control at any time.
"All mills must enter into an agree
ment with the food administration to
hold to these prices and do many
ether things such as making reports
ceived, the amount ground and, sold,
sending in monthly reports as to the
profits made and complying to the
regulations of making a profit of but
twenty-five cents per barrel on flour
These agreemtns are very drastic
md II not lived up to the mill loses
its license and Is compelled to stop
operations.
"lt can readily be seen that there Is
object to be gained Of the farmer
holding his wheat nor can he get from
any source more that the government
price, excepting such wheat as he
may seed, which after being reclean-
ed Is fifteen per cent higher than 9TH
er wheat"
Ii Is estimated that S25 bushels OF
wheat in Nevada and adjacent terri
tory is affected by the order. :

RED TAPE. -

Editor of The Journal:
Referring to your editorial in last
Thursdays Journal headed Red
Tape" it would seem that the writer
had some personal spleen to vent in
regard to this particular eXamina-
ton, which was, by the way, for ap-
pOintments to the commissioned rank
of assistant paymaster, and not, as
the editorial enormously assumes,
for the position of pay clerk.
Whether inspired by personal piQue
at the disappointment of some aspir-
ing friend, or was the hit-or-miss
shot of one who merely sought to
criticize something about the navy
in either case, many alleged facts
were distorted and the conclusions
drawn were wide of the truth.
When you state that only four
days notice of the examination was
given, you must have in mind some
particular Individual who stumbled on
one of the circulars on that date.
Press notices were sent out and print
ed circulars giving an outline Of the
scope of the examination, the physi-
cal requirements and age limit. were
distributed to recruiting Centers some
four or five weeks previous to the
date-not long enough, to be sure, for
one not having the educational quail
ifications and the general and tech
nical knowledge, to be coached ur
to passing form, but quite a reason
able time for one well grounded in
the subjects covered, to brush up on
them considerably.
The commissioned pay officer is
not presumed to be quite as we'll up
on technical banking laws and prac-
tice as the banker, but he must know
we'll the general laws of banking and
exchange. He needs this knowledge
in his business, and it might prove
costly to his bondsmen if he werC
lacking in it.
He is neither expected nor requir-
ed to have the learning of the college
