SUGAR SEIZED
At DEPOT

County Food Administrator ]. A..
Cardinal reports the seizure of two
seek of sugar at the Minden depot
shipped by the d. b. Benardi company
of San Francisco to John Biaggf and
Joe Pedroietti Of this Valley. The
sale or purchase of that amount of
sugar is strictly against the law and
the seizure is the result. Just what
penalties will be lheeted out to the
yioators of the law has not been
stated but it is quite probable that
the sugar license of the San Francisco
dealer will be revoked and the pur-
chasers subject to a fine.
The food administrators will not al
low violations of the restrictions plac-
ed on the purchase of sugar. Local
dealers are complying strictly to the
law governing the sale OF sugar and
outside concerns who openly violate
the law as in the case of Benardi
company will suffer for their bad
faith with the food administrators.

new DEVICE A
FUEL SAVER

o l.. Allison and E. N. Bergman
are here this week from Los Angeles
in the interest of the Liberty Low
Grade Fuel Burner, device for vap-
orizing distilate, enabling its use
as fuel for automobiles and motor
vehicles with wonderful results.
The device has a heating arrange
ment taken from the exhaust of the
engine. The distilate is thus heated
before being taken into the manifold
and the results are guaranteed to save
so per cent in cost of operation over
gasoline, with a. great increase of
power as well as keeping the engine
free from carbon.
The Liberty Burner gives such
wonderful results, that a purchaser
is allowed to give it a thirty day free
trial, and at the end of that time if he
is dissatisfied, he does not have to
take the burner
At present the> oil companies
ment, are taking a record of gasoline
to determine the extent of that used
by pleasure cars and commercial
vehicles. The use of gasoline may be
limited but owing to the low grade of
distilate it will be always obtainable.
Public corporations, department
stores and others are using low grade
fuel burners with great saving in the
cost of operating their fleets OF
trucks and delivery cars.
The Liberty Burner is so arranged
that easy starting is assured and can
be used on tractors as we'll as auto
mobiles.
A. w. H. Helberg has been appoint
ed local agent for the Liberty
Burner and will be glad to give all
information to prospective purchasers

STOCKTON MEN

ager. of the Stockton Independent, DR..
Jerry O'Bricn, dentist, and aclass-mate
of DR.. Brown of Minden, and VIM B.
Davenport, ad writer for Smith &
Lang, dry goods store, of Stockton,
Cal, arrived in Gardnerville Wednes-
day having motored over the Big
Tree road from the San Joaquin VAL
ley. After giving this section the
once over, they declared this to be
one of the most beautiful Valleys they
had ever visited. They also COM
mented on the apparent thrift and at
tractiveness of the community.
The three men are members of the
stockton Ad Club and are real live
boosters for their city. Mr.. Daven-
port said: I'VE are enjoying our stay
here to the limit Ia brief limit while
en- route to Lake Tahoe and wish to
suggest to the people of Carson VAL
ley that when they do finally decide
to leave this lively vicinity for a
BETTER (he wrote it in capitals)
that they come to Stockton, Cal.
From here the party went to Car
son and after viewing the prehistoric
tracks at the prison, motored to Lake
Tahoe where they will sojourn for
few days before leaving for their
homes.
Mr.. Adriance, was dolled up like
plumed knight or something like
that. II seems that somewhere in
Calayeras county, strange animal
came over the top of a log Before
the animal had time to wink or run,
Mr.. Adriance plugged him with his
faithful rs. The animal was part
bear, part badger, with feet like
gorilla and tail resembling that of
mountain lion. Mr.. Advriance's
companions swear that just before
the animal was killed 1t uttered a
word that sounded like "kamarade."
At any rate, Mr.. Adriance wore the

becoming alarmed, fearing that the
tail of the strange bird was having
queer influence over Adriance. AL
ways known to be careful automo-
bile driver, he became speed crazy
after wearing the tail on his hat and
upon several occasions tried to steer
the auto up tree. There are lot of
trees along the road and it kept his
companions continually on the alert.
However. Mr.. Adriance is short
story writer 70 the Stockton Inde-

no doubt was getting material, at the
expense of his companions, for

As the Fourth of July approaches
when our patriotic citizens will want
to give vent to their feelings in loud
noises. it is we'll that they should

portion the 100000 tons of sugar in
sight for the next six months begin
ing July l. on the basis OF three pound
per capita monthly in order to sup
ply the needs of the allies and of the
American troops. The apportionment
is about double the compulsory sugar
ration of England, France and Italy.
All Under Supervision
Commercial users of sugar will re-

BUMPER CROPS
Being CUT

Haying In Carson Valley is now
under way, and from all reports, the
first crop Of alfalfa is exceedingly
heavy. During the month of May
the cold weather retarded all crops
and for time it was believed that
the yield would fall much below the
average. However, the warm wealth
er that was ushered in with June
caused the crops to grow rapidly.
The grain crop is looking splendid
and we are told by farmers that the
cool weather of May caused the
wheat and barley to stool, and a heavy
yield is looked for. The acreage
planted to wheat and barley this year
is said to be larger than at any time
within the history of Carson Valley,
farmers having broken up much al
falfa land and planted 1t to wheat
in order to help in war work and pro-
vide additional products for this ma
ton and its allies.
The cold weather of May also aid
ed in holding back the food waters
and while it is predicted that there
will be shortage during the latter
part of the season, no crops will
suffer for lack of moisture.
Those who have visited the higher
mountains report that the snow did
not drift last winter as in former
years, and in places where heavy
banks of snow remained in the can
yons until late In the season, it has
already disappeared, while in other
places where snow melted early, 1t
still remains on the ground.
The water stored in the reservoirs
of the Alpine Land and Reservoir
company, will be of valuable assist
ance in irrigating late crops during
the fall season. Last fall these
reservoirs were enlarged and the
amount of storage water has beer
materially increased
All in all the farmers of Carson
Valley never faced more promising
harvest than they do at this time.
