RED CROSS TAKES UP
KNITTING WORK

The civic section of the Carson Val
ley Chapter of Red Cross held its
first meeting at the Douglas County
high school building Tuesday after
noon.
There were about thirty-five ladies'
present. each one eager to do her bit
for the soldiers. Mrs. Hampson had
charge of the knitting and material
was given out to all who knew how
to make the required wristlets, muf-
flers and scarfs. Mrs. Werner has
volunteered to make the socks on a
knitting machine which will greatly
reduce the labor and give a greater
amount of time to other articles.
Mrs. F. f. Dangberg and Mrs. e. j.
Phillips have complete charge of the
cutting of paiamas and bed jackets.
Two sewing machines have been
turned over to the chapter for use
In making these garments and the
services of those who can run sewing
machines are asked for in this depart
ment. AS each garment is completed
in accordance with instructions from
headquarters, Mrs. Dangberg and
Mrs. Phillips will inspect and pack
the same ready for shipment
Mrs. c. E. Thompson and Mrs. F.
T. Brown have complete charge of
the bandage making and have already
made a good showing by the number
completed at the first meeting. These
ibandages are very carefully made,
and of good quality surgical gauze.
Upon their completion they are for
warded to headquarters where they
are thouroghly sterilized before ship
jing.
This is just beginning of the good
work to be done in Douglas county.
A very pleasant room on the south
side of the high school building has
been fitted out as work room,
with numerous tables, etc. so the
work will be a social feature as well
as for the good of our boys. Two
afternoons each week are set aside
for this work, so be on hand this
afternoon at 2 o'clock and lend your
assistance to a most worthy cause.

WANTS WASHOE INDIANS
EXEMPTED FROM DRAFT

Washoe Indians are not considered
aliens. nor are they citizens of the
United States. or even wards of the
government. Just what they are is
soon to be established. through hear
ing brought about in the selective
draft.
Several of the Wahoe tribe of In
dians were examined for the draft
and qualified as far as physical fitness
is concerned. The first two men to
be called were Washoe Indians, but
the county board received word to
send white men in their stead.
The Indian department, 1t is under
stood is to make test case of Sam
Low, who has qualified for the draft
The appeal taken to the district board
in this case has been denied and now
it is to be taken to higher authorities
at Washington.

Fund Is
Grouing

Work or raising a fund of some
$500 with which to purchase wrist
watches for all of the boys of Doug
las county serving their country, is
progressing well and already the
fund is quite large. However. it will
require the assistance of practically
every person in this county to raise
the needed amount, since the con-
tributions have been limited to %
cents.
The boys OF Douglas county who
have enlisted or called by draft are
offering their lives in defense of their
country. Those who must stay at
hcme, can. by swelling the wrist
watch fund, convey bit of cheerful
ness to our boys. They need all the
encouragement that can possibly be
given them by the folks at home.
These tokens which are to be sent or
given to them, will be highly appre-
cited by them and will make the
thought of home even dearer to them
that it ever was before.

mite. fill out the coupon in this is
sue, enclose a twenty-five cent piece
and send 1t to A. r. Ratcliff. Gardner

Game Club
Organized

At Minden this week an organiza-
tion to be known as the Carson VAL
ley Game Protective Association was
formed. The membership of the cub
is made up of a majority of the FORM
er members OF the old Buck Brush
Hunting club with the addition of sew
eral new members.
A long term lease has been taken
on the reservoir or pond at the old
Cradelbaugh Bridge. now owned by
the Ambrosetti Bros; land adjoining
same and running over to and taking
in the river, owned by Chas. Fulstone;
the property lying south Of the reser-
voir owned by Chas. Lewis and ad-
joining territory owned by the Dang
berg Land and Live Stock company.
This property taken as whole COM
prises one of the best game preserves
in this section, or even the entire
state.
The object of the organization,
aside from hunting opportunities af-
forded its members, will be to con-
serve the game in this vicinity, add
ing to same wherever possible, and to
assist the state and local game ward
enst in seeing that the game laws are
complied with.
An attempt will be made to have
the state and county import new
game, such as Chinese Pheasants,
elk, etc. and protect same absolutely
until such time as they have had
time to multiply to such numbers as
to allow the shooting of same in
limited bags.
The quail in this. section, have
dwindled in the last few years to a
very small amount and efforts will
also be made to restock this variety
of game.

G. W. Rich, who Is running the old
Fl. Hellwinkel ranch in the upper part
of the Valley, now the property of w.
f. Dressler, this week brought several
stalks OF corn, all measuring over Is
feet to this Office. There is on dis

the largest of which weighs two
pounds and the smallest pound and
one-half, raised by Mr.. Rich. In
speaking of the corn, he stated that
al one time he was a resident of
Kansas, which Is corn state. 1t was
very rare when corn grew to height
TO exceed IA feet. Thus the product
astonished him and he is justly proud
of his gardening. 1t is really
shame that lot of garden truck,
such as is raised In Carson Valley
will not be on display at the State
Fair at Fallon.
Mr.. Rich is not the only farmer
of this section who has brought corn
and other vegetables to this office.
Corn stalks measuring over 13 feet
raised by II. c. Elges has been no dis
play at this office. Along with the
stalks came an armful of the finest
corn ever seen here. Mr.. Elges is
the largest producer of vegetables i'm
Carson Valley, and yearly grows
several acres OF cabbage, as we'll as
wagon loads of the common variety
of vegetables.

WAY
Of CANNING

Sugar adds nothing to a properly
sterilized and properly sealed pro-
duct, as far as its keeping qualities
are concerned. 1t is because it is
properly sterilized and sealed that it
keeps. The addition of sugar be-
comes then. purely matter of taste.
Fruits canned with sugar lose
great deal of their original flavor,
and as sugar has advanced In price
to such an extent, it could well be
eliminated in some of our canning.
In such a cease. sugar may be added
when serving, as is done with raw
fruits, allowing each person to sweet
en- to taste
Less sugar will be used and the out
lay will be spread over period Of
time and the question of sugar will
not interfere with the purchase of
fruit and jars in preserving time. Any
fruit which is used raw as desert can
be canned by the sugarless method.
Pies made from sugarless cherries,
berries. peaches are equal to those
made from the raw fruit
Fruits to be canned without sugar
must be prepared in the usual way;
Gull, stem. seed and clean fruit by
placing in strainer and pouring
could water over it. II skins are to
be removed, blanch first with boiling
water. Pack the product carefully
in glass jars, being careful not to
bruise or crush, but have pars as full
as possible and then pour in boiling
water to fill the pars completely. Put
on tops of jars and partially seal.
Place in the home Gamer or steam
pressure Gamer II using the home
Gamer (hot water BATH the product
will be cooked for 30 minutes after
the water in the. canner has begun to
boil. Keep this water boiling gently
for the 80 minutes. After cook: ng,
remove the jars and seal completely
Ii the fruits have shrunk, do not on
that account, open the pars to refill.
The space left by the shrinkage is a
sterilized vacuum and will not injure
your product Wrap in paper to pre-
vent bleaching.
Ia addition To this method, sour
berry fruits as goosberries. currants
and ruhhard and eau ulun,c can ho
successfully canned by the cold
water process" In this method the
product is heated in the following
manner
The product is washed and cleaned
and placed in wire basket or cheese
cloth bag, and boiling hot water is
poured over it. II is packed at once
into hot, well sterilized jars. From
here the jars and products can be
treated in either of two ways. The
jar is placed in bucket of clean, cold
water. at the same time working our
any air bubbles present in the jar
The water should replace all of The
air present in the jar as far as pos
sible. Or the jar filled with fruit can
be placed under the cold water faucet,
the water allowed to run into the JAR
the air Allow the water
to run over the top of the par and
while the jar is under this flow of
water. put the cover in place and
seal.
The principle of this is that the
acid of the fruit combines with the
cold water and forms an acid solu-
tion which acts as the preservative.
If these directions are followed out
there should be no danger of spoil
age in the jars.
