KANE STAGE LINE
CHANGES HANDS

On May 1st James Kane sold
out the last branch of his stage
line to the Antelope Valley Land
and Cattle company. The gov
ernment has yet to accept the
bonds of the company before the
transfer can be made. Mr.. Kane
has been manager of the stage
lines between Wellignton. Cole
vile and Markleevile for twenty
years and sole owner for twelve
years. About two years ago Mr..
Kane sold out the Markleeville
line to Grant Merrill of Wood
fords and at the same time the
line from Gardnerville to We'll
llngton was discontinued. Mr..
Kane will surely be missed in
the business circle of the com
munity as he has been one of
our most proficient and court
eous business men. Mr.. Kane
has not announced his future
plans but he and his family ex-
pect to spend the summer in
Carson.

INDIAN KILLED
BY White MAN

Onu Sunday evening, Martin
Jasper shot and killed, suppos-
edly in self defense, Albert Bob,
a Washoe Indian. Jasper and
the Indian were both employed
on the Grimmon-Springmeyer
ranch and had come to town for
load of tile. They stayed in
town for couple of hours and
both were intoxicated before
they left. On the way to the
ranch the Indian began beating
his squaw. Jasper is supposed
to have interfered and the In
dian attacked him when he
climbed back on the wagon, hit
ting him in the head with a
rock. Jasper had bought new
gun in town to use on the range
for coyotes and with the inten-
ton of stopping the Indian with
it, shot him in the head and kill
ed him. The bullet entered the
forehead and came out at the
back of the head. Jasper
drove the teams to the ranch
and got Mr.. Springmeyer to
bring him to town where he
surrendered to the authorities.
The trial was held on Tuesday
and Wednesday but it was
found necessary to turn the
case over to the federal grand
jury, the Indian being ward
of the government.

The Annual is the subject
which has been uppermost in the
minds of the senior class of the
high school for more than a
year.
They are now about to offer
the Orange and Black" to you,
as the first annual that has been
issued by the Dounglas county
high school. The publication of
such a volume has not been ac-
complished without effort, but
taken much work and time on
the part of the faculty and the
seniors. Nor have the junior,
sophomore and freshman classes
failed to assist them but have
literally contributed material.
The Annual board has been
able to meet the financial burden
through the generosity of those
business men of Minden, Gard
nerville, Reno and Carson, who
have advertised in the Annual.
The book is really a record of
school life as seen at the Doug
las county high school. It's con-
tents are varying, consisting of
extensive literary and athletic
departments, together with de-
partments of the classes, the AL
umni and various organizations.
The literary department con-
sists of the class histories, SEN
Tor prophecy, and the stories and
poems written by the members
of the high school. The poems
written by Frieda Cordes, 10.
are especially noteworthy, sever
., of them being very clever and
original.
The story, Star Face" written
by Siegfried Heise, has local
setting, the Pinenut Hills, and
takes up a phase of western life.
making it all the more interest
ing.
The other stories, one written
by Jennie Jacobsen, and another
by Agnes Jensen, are equally in
teresting.
The athletic department con-
tains a history of the entire ath-
letic career of the high school.

High School
Edition
Issued by the Students
TheGold and the Black

Our high school has had a state
wide reputation for its athletics.
The Annual contains an ac-
count of every game that has
been played and the pictures of
all of the championship teams.
The joke department will af-
ford much amusement to the
reader, portraying little incl
dents as they actually occurred
at the Douglas county high
school. 1t brings out the spirit
manifested in the school. We
have our time of fun and enjoy
ment as well as work.
As the name might indicate,
the little story, Fritz Schmidt
Visits the Douglas County High
School," is very amusing and hu-
morous. The character, Fritz
Schmidt, is German who, for
the first time views the hign
school. He expresses his opin-
ion on everything he sees, in his
quaint German dialect.
Another important feature of
the Annual is its pictures. 1t in
cludes pictures of this years
basketball team and the champ
ion ship teams of the past, as
well as those of all the present
classes, faculty, high school
building and many views of the
Valley.
These alone, would make the
book valuable to everyone who
is interested in the high school.
The book will be placed on sale
as soon as it comes from The
printer, and the price will be
one dollar per copy. The lis
pages contained within its COW
ers form some of the best read
ing that has been presented to
the people of Douglas county
for a long time. 1t was the in
tention of the senior class to
have it ready for the annual field
meet, but it is doubtful whether
or not this can be accomplished.
However, anyone wishing copy
can secure one by communicate
ing with any member of the
high school.

ANNUAL TRACK
MEET MAY Is

The annual Douglas county
field meet will be held at the
high school on Friday, May 25.
This meet has come to be one
of the pleasantest affairs of the
school year and one that is look
ed forward to not only by the
children but by the older folks
as well. A few changes in last
years program will be noticed,
as conditions are constantly
changing and, for the convent
ence of the greatest number, the
program will also have to be
somewhat different.
The people of Minden, Doug
las county, have subscribed a
large sum of money to purchase
a suitable flag pole and flag and
at ten o'clock on the morning OF
the county field meet, the flag
pole will be dedicated and flag
raised with appropriate cere-
monies. This will take place OH
the plaza at Minden. Following
these exercises, the crowd will
move to the high school auditor
ium, where tables will be placed
and all those who can make az
rangements will eat their lunch
there. Each district of the coun-
ty will have a table SO those
coming from that district can
eat together.
The morning will be given ov-
er to the pupils and teachers to
arrange their exhibits in the diff
ferent rooms at the high school.
These will follow the same
scheme as in previous years. A
number of the district schools
have manifested their intention
of attending and the schools of
Alpine county will also be in.
vited to the meet this year. The
high school domestic science
and agricultural classes will
have exhibits, as last year, and
the domestic science class will
have baking contest during the
afternoon that promises to be
an interesting feature. Prizes
will be given for the latter as is
noted elsewhere.
The afternoon will be devoted
to the races, in which all schools
will participate. Minden won the
cup last year and it will be a
pretty race to see whether she
will keep it or not another year.
The pupils will be divided into
classes according to their weight
and height, in order to have
children of like capabilities COM
peting. Ribbons will be given
for first, second and third places
as formerly. The school receiv-
ing the most points per pupil
will be awarded the cup to hold
during next year. In this WAY
it is imperative for each school
to be represented by as many
pupils as it can get out. School
loyalty usually runs high aid
the interest already manifested
by number of the schools
prophesies that this year will be
no exception.
A program has been arranged
for the evening, at which the
eighth graders of the county
will be presented with their di-
plomas by Deputy Supt. B. G..
Bleasdale, of the state depart
ment.
Music and the usual address
es will complete the program.
Following the plan of last year.
the student council will bear TIC
expense of the day and the e..
hibits and programs will be free
to the public. A complete pro
gram will appear in next weeks

AGRICULTURAL
WORKATS ATSCHOOL

Al Tie pTescill llflle we nave
two classes engaged in active
agricultural work. One, the
freshman class, is occupying its
time in planting a model garden.
The forepart of the school year
was devoted to the study of the
sciences in an elementary and
general way, with the purpose
Of giving the beginners an idea
of the fundamental principles of
applied science, insofar as they
are related to scientific agricul-
ture.
The various fundamentals will
constitute good foundation for
the advanced work in agricul-
ture which they will take up in
the next three years work in
their high school course. The
garden work which this class is
now engaged in, is progressing
rapidly and the boys should
have considerable produce to
furnish the townspeople, if their
plans materialize. there are six
Of the freshman boys who are
doing this work.
Next year this class will take
up work in animal husbandry
similar to the work which is be-
ing done by the sophomore. class
at present. This latter class has
devoted most of this year TO the
study Of the various breeds and
types Of livestock, and the prin-
ciples OF scientific feeding and
the balancing of rations. The
present semester they have been
specializing in dairy husbandry
with emphasis upon the raising
Of high grade and pure bred
dairy animals. the improvement
of the herd by selection, based
upon the records OF perform
ance of the individuals in the
herd. The records afford a con-
else and authentic means of de-
termining the profitable animals
as they show the actual pounds
of milk and butter-fat produced
and the cost of producing same.
The boys have carried on a prac-
tical project on this line, in con-
nection. with the extension de-
partment Of the university.
Each member of the class was
required to keep the records of
two cows in their herd, that is.
weigh the milk, and every two
weeks, bring in a representative
sample which was tested with
the Babc0ck tester in the high
school laboratory. This showed
the per cent of butter-fat. From
this data and the weight of the
milk they could figure the act
ual returns from each cow.
These records were forwarded
to the university and, after sue
cessfully passing an examina-
ton, the boys will be given GER
tilicates authorizing them to do
official testing.
Also, at intervals during the
year, the class has taken stock
Judging trips to nearby ranches
and, with the assistance of Mr..
V. +. Scott, of the university ex-
tension department, they have
had some valuable training and
experience in scoring and judg-
ing different types of livestock.
Next year, it is planned to con-
tinue these projects and prac-
tical trips with the intention of
enlarging upon the present ag-
ricultural course and making
the work more practical and use

this course.

SALUTlNG MOUNT VERNON.
A Tribute Of Respect 90 the Memory 81
Warrington.

When the MaNIioWer, bearing the
French commissioners to the United
States up the Potomac 10 Washington,
passed Mount Vernon we were told
by the newspapers that the crew of
the vessel were drawn up at salute
and the ships bell was tolled. Marshal
Joffre was particularly touched by this
ceremonial. and as the yacht passed
on up the river he walked To the stern
and stood silently watching the old
mansion until 1t was hidden from view.
What the newspapers did not tell us
and what many Americans do not
know is that the ceremony that so i'm
pressed our distinguished visitors has
been for great many years presCrib-
ed by the naval regulations No Unit
ed States ship of war may pass Maunt
Vernon without paying that tribute of
respect to the memory of Washington.
As the vessel approaches the beauti-
full old place the commander orders
the bugler to Sound to quarters"
The crew, officers and men hurry TO
their places. the word passes to form
along the side OF the ship that faces
Mount Vernon and to stand at atten-
ton. As the ship comes abreast of
the mansion the command "Salute!"
rings out Every man raises his right
hand to his cap and holds it there
while the ships bell tolls twenty-on
times, once for each gun of the ma
tional salute.
Sound the retreat!' comes the order
as the last stroke of the bell trembles
into silence, and the bugle sends its
plaintive notes across the water to the
tree clad slopes of Mount Vernon, from
which the echo faithfully repeats them
to the ship.
1t is a charming ceremony. simple,
yet indescribably moving no matter
how often one sees it-Youth's Com
DaniOn.

DIZZY SPELLS
Relieved After Taking Two Bottles
OF Cardui, Says Tennessee
Lady.

Whitwell, Tenn.-Mrs. G. P. Cart
wright, of this place, writes: about
four years ago the dizzy spells got so
bad that when I would start to walk
l would just pretty near fall. I wasn't
past doing my work, but was very
lauch rundown.
I told my husband I thought Cardui
would help me, as lady who lived
next door to me had taken a great
deal, and told me to try it. This was
when we were living in Kentucky.
My husband got me a bottle and I
took it according to directions. 1t
helped me so much that he went back
and got me another bottle. I got a
whole lot better and just quit taking
it. I got over the dizzy spells. Il took
no other medicine at that time nor
since for this trouble. No, I've never
regretted taking CaTdui.
l felt just fine when I finished the
second bottle"
Purely vegetable, mild and gentle
in its action, Cardui, the womans
tonic, may be the very medicine you
need. If you suffer from symptoms of
female troubles, give Cardui q trial.

Hair and Cold Water

TO make your hair grow use cold
water as it runs from the hydrant
Apply the water to your hair with
your wet hands and run your fingers
through what hair you have or rub
your scalp with your wet cold hands
This exercise will bring the blood to
the scalp, and only from the blood can
you get new hair or make the hair you
already have more luxuriant. You can
not get hair from grease. Nothing in
the world is so good for the hair as
cold water applied with the wet hands
until the water has reached the scalp
But do not immerse your head in cold
water. This is all too much Of

Rules That Will Help You Avoid II
During a Thunderstorm.
If you are out of doors IN q very
severe electrical storm the Electrical
Experimental offers the following rules
for your protection:
Keep away from wire fences. They
may carry dangerous electrical
charge long distances Cattle In pas
lures are frequently killed from the
neglect of farmers to ground the wire
OF the fence.
Keep away from hedges, ponds and
streams.
Keep away from isolated trees Oak
trees are frequently struck; beech are
seldom struck. 1t is safe in a dense
forest.
Keep away from herds of cattle and
crowds of people.
Do not hold an umbrella over you.
1t is safer to sit or lie down in an
open field than to stand.
Drivers should dismOunt and not
stay close to their horses.
Do not work with any large metal
If you are indoors:
Keep away from the stove and chin
ney. The hot gases from the chimney
may conduct the lightning to and down
the chimney.
Do not take position between two
bodies of metal, as the stove and wa
ter pipe, for example. An exception
20 being near metals is the case Of an
iron bed. One of the safest places is
ON a mattress in an iron bed, provided
you do not touch the metal The metal
surrounding you makes safe cage
which will prevent the lightning from
reaching a person inside.
Do not stand on a wet floor nor
draw water from the well or faucet.
Do not stand directly under a chan
delier. near a radiator nor on a regis
Ter.
Do not use the telephone.
