end OF the largest water suits ever
brought in a Nevada court, that of the
Quinn river water owners. For the
past several months he has been Civ
ing it his undivided attention and ex-
poets to render a decision in about
three weeks. The transcript consists
of lover 5000 typewriter pages and
the briefs consist of 1863 pages more,
all of which has to be read and studied
by the court. The oral arguments of
the attorneys occupied a solid week

HEARTS OF WORLD
ON BILL TONIGHT

During the siege of Belgium. United

quired: Where shall l go to escape
the German shells?"
Go to your embassy" called Whit

But cannons have no eyes, an
swered the Chinese diplomat
These words have often been re-
peated. but seldom if ever with an
understanding of the actual meanif
of the epigram. Today, with the mod
ern methods of warfare better under

assumes a new significance. In civil
war days men fought directly at their
target There was no question about
the landing place of the contents of
the big guns. Today everything is
different Warfare is being carried

David Wark Griffith has brought
home many truths to the American
people in his production. Hearts of
the World" which was shown this
afternoon and will be shown again
tonight at the American theatre.
One of these, made especially no.
ticeable because of the prominence
given to it in the more stirring scenes
of this master work, is the fact that
thousands upon thousands of rounds
of ammunition are hurled at the en-
emy without the men who handle the
guns actually knowing where the
shells will hit. For more than half
an hour in the unfolding of the story
of Hearts of the World" the audience
is given glimpse of the newer. more
modern methods, employed. Great
guns are shown discharging their
death-dealing contents in the air. both
the distance of the supposed target
and the ultimate result of the firing
being unknown to those who handle
the guns

tenee at the penitentiary for eompli-
city in the murder of the Quilici fam
ily at Inlay, Humboldt county, died at
the state institution early yesterday
morning, it was announced by prison
authorities last evening.
TRAINER was twice under sentence
of death. the last time about a year
ago. and was confined in the death
cage and the watch put over him un-
I'll the day the parole commission
granted a commutation Of sentence.
From horrors experienced in the death
cell TRAINER was never separated and
gradually his mental faculties gave
way, until two or three months ago
there was a complete collapse and
since that time he has been oblivious
TO his surroundings. He was placed
in the prison hospital and remained
there until he succumbed, hemorrhage
of the brain being recorded as the
cause of the death.
TRAINER, in association with H.
Uric, murdered the Outlets in 1912.
the crime being one of the most afro
cious ever committed in the state, and
il was only because of a peculiar
chain of circumstances that he
escaped execution. He was a native
of Illinois and 40 years of age.-Car-

downs he never lost his genialitg OF

ENCOURAGING PURCHASE OF
SUGAR FOR CANNING FOOD

The saving of all perishables that
can be possibly be utilized as human
food is encouraged, according to a
statement received today from the
federal fooG administration for Me-
vada. To that end every one in Ne
yada is encouraged to buy sugar in
25-pound lots for strictly canning and
preserving purposes, but is enjoined
to use such sugar carefully, and to use
minimum sugar for maximum fruit,
in view of the serious ship and food
stuff shortage.
With the single exception of sugar,
which probably will re ;ain rigiGly
controlled Until the erd OF the war,
the food conservation features during
the next year will be general, the
statement goes on to say, and all loyal
citizens will be asked to economic
everywhere. The pledge card, signed
a year ago, was observed so crafty
ingly that the United States was able
to ship nearly double the amount of
foodstuffs that seemed available at the
start of the campaign. During the
last week of October new home cards,
containing the present program of the
food administration for housewives,
will be distributed throughout the
state.
Mr.. Hoover has promised an in
crease of 100000 tons over the ship
ments of food made last year to the
allies. This means that every Ne
vadan, from Searchlight to DEMO,
must save and send his share.
