MORE FOOD REGULATIONS BY
STATE FOOD ADMINISTRATIONS

The rule regarding the sale of
sugar has been changed to read as
follows:
Sugar may be sold only on a basis
of three pounds per person per month
Merchants will note that the five
poand exception to ranchers, etc, is
discontinued. Restaurants may con-
tinue to buy as heretofore. Ranch
men and sheepmen who need larger
quantities must make a written state
ment and request for same to the
state food administrator, stating their
reasons and asking such exception.
Directly following the news of the
great battle now raging on the west
front comes word that the bread ra-
ton of the allies soldiers is being
reduced owing to the lack of wheat.
The administration is urging still fur
ther reduction in the consumption of
wheat by the American people. Still
further restrictions are being consid-
cred and there is a general tighten
ing of the rules now in effect
State administrators have been no.
tined that the food law now effective
authorizes the requisitioning OF grain
in national emergencies and are being
asked to investigate all cases of al
legged boarding. Persons found guilty
will be dealt with severely. In one
instance the food administration has
already requisitioned a large quantity
of wheat which was being held by two
brothers living in New Mexico and
othes cases are under investigation.
Rule No. 2 of new food conserva-
ton measure adopted March 21 states
that public eating places may not
serve in the aggregate a total of more
breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pas
try, pies, cakes and wheat breakfast
cereals containing a total of more
than two ounces of wheat -four to any
one guest at any one meal" and that
mo wheat products are to be served
unless specially ordered" Bread is
included in the term wheat products
and all public eating houses and pat
rons of same should note this fact.
County food administrators should
NOT authorize sales to sheepmen at
this season of year of more than their
sixty days requirements, as the lamb
ing season will be over by the expir-
aticr of that time and the roads will
be good. The merchant making such
sale should require a written state
ment to the effect that purchase of
such supply for sixty days is abso-
lutely necessary and the reasons
should be stated.

DEPORTING A WHOLE NATION
Kaiser, in Action Toward Belgium, 10
Partly Following Style Fisst Set
by King Sargon.

Only a few years ago, comparative
ly, the great King Sargon was held by
critics TO be a biblical myth, a monarch
who never ruled Assyria. but excava-
tiOns in that ancient land confOmded
the alleged historical experts, says the
Newark News. And now comes along
no less an authority than John Dyne-
ley Prince, former statesman of New
Jersey, master of some twenty ancient
and modern tongues, and head of
department in Columbia university,
calling attention TO the fact that Sar-
gon first set the style of deporting a
whole nation that is being partly fol-
lowed by the kaiser In Belgium.
1t was some 2.600 years ago that
Sargon carried the ten tribes of Israel
out Of the promised land and filed up
their country with Arabs and tribes
from northern Asia Minor, and he did
such a good job that the Jews never
came back. History, however, does
not always repeat itself, as witness
the return from captivity of the Jews
released from Babylonia through Cy-
rus the Persian.

the following letter, which applies to
all parts of the state:
Carson City, New, March 81, 1918.
DR.. John E. Worden, Elko, New:
A child affected with german
measles cannot attend school for two
weeks from date of attack nor can
other children in the family attend
school until two weeks after first ap-
pearance of disease in preceding case
S. L. LEE, Secretary.
The attending physician dates and
fills out card for each case and the
two weeks dates from time dated on
the report card which is filed with
the health officer, who will report
same to the principals of the schools.
1t therefore behooves the parents to
see that report is made promptly on
first appearance OF the disease in
order that the child affected may be
in school promptly at the end of the
two weeks time. Other children in
the same family that contract the
sickness also need to be reported, be-
cause they too must remain out two
weeks from date of attack.

WOULD TAKE fACS
FROM SOLDIER BOY

The Anti-Cigarette League has un-
dertaken a vigorous campaign de-
signed to persuade the American SOL
diers of the evil of the cigarette habit
II proposes to recruit in the churches
of the country on April IL thousands
of workers who will work for "A
Clean Life" army. The league num-
bers many prominent men in it's
ranks.
The controversy over sending ciga-
rettes to the soldiers has spread to
such extremities that the matter is
being given serious consideration by
many men and women who have not
hitherto regarded the cigarette habit
as more than a personal affair of the
men.
There are, just as there is to every
controversy, two arguments to con-
sider-the arguments of those who
oppose cigarettes and those who pro-
pose them.
Sergeant Guy Empey, in his famous
book on the war, "Over the Top" re-
lates an incident that occurred in a
hospital in France where he was con-
fined before coming to America to
work for the soldiers. 1t concerns
the death of a British soldier whose
last moments were soother by a ciga-
rette which Empey had carefully pre-
served for himself for days against
such an emergency. The story grips
the heart in its eloquence and vivid
ness and Empey concludes with: you
ask what the men over there want
71ost? They want tobacco. You can
10 them no greater mercy than to
send them that"
Many people draw a distinction be-
tween cigarettes and tobacco.
Whether you approve of sending to-
hacco or cigarettes to the soldiers in
Trance or disapprove the practice is
'ntirely a matter of personal inclina-
ion. If you are disinterested it is
your duty before arriving at a final
decision to hear the arguments of
both sides in order that you may de
aide justly. No one can then oppose
your attitude, no matter to which side
you incline.-[R Reno Journal.

KILLED, WOUNDED
in JARBIDGE DUEL

Four Mexicans were at the Sullivan
saloon, down the river below Jarbidge
at the old construction camp, playing
cards. The proprietor was called out
side for a few minutes and when he
returned he found that the till had
been robbed of $45. He accused the
Mexicans, who refused to talk and
soon left the building. A Russian
who had been present told Sullivan
that the Mexicans had robbed the till,
and Sullivan Immediately grabbed up
his Winchester and started after the
Mexicans. He was accompanied by
number of men who were nearby.
They soon caught sight of the four
Mexicans walking up the canyon and
when Sullivan called them to halt one
of them opened fire, the first bullet
striking a man by the name of McCul-
Tough in the stomach and another one
of the bystanders in the leg. Sullivan
opened fire and many shots were ex-
changed.
Mccullough died this morning A
posse was organized and started after
the Mexicans, capturing three of
them, but the man who did the shoot
ing escaped by stealing a horse be-
longing to Mr. Fletcher and rode into
the mountains. The posse is still
after him and believe that he will
soon be in custody.-GElko Free Press.

TENTH LEVEL OF ROCHESTER
MINES TAKING THE BANNER

The tenth level of the Rochester
Mines Company property has this
week become the point of greatest
interest, according to the report of
the company. Recently Block Four,
on the 50-foot level, could lay claim
to the best ore found in the mine, but
the latest developments show that the
bottom of the tenth level has uncov-
cred ore of greater value than any
encountered elsewhere in the mine.
The report follows:
"The drifts north and south on the
eighth level in the crosscut is advanc-
ing in good grade ore.
"The stope above the eighth level
is thirty feet wide at the northerly
end and is giving up fine ore.
"On the ninth and tenth levels the
outlook is good. The ore in the bot
tom of the tenth level is considered
the best ever encountered in any part
of the property.
THE 100-foot level is producing a
big quantity of good ore.
"The average tonnage for the month
per day is running 1855 tons, with the
heads averaging above s19 per tom

DOUG. FAIRBANKS IN "THE GOOD
BAD MAN. AT THEATRE TONIGHT

Most of the villains we have had in
photoplays from the very beginning of
the film industry have been the
''utter" villains of tradition. They
have been bad just on general prin-
ciples Douglas Fairbanks. however,
has come to the rescue with an in
novation in "The Good Bad Man." a
Triangle feature which he wrote HIM
self and in which he is starred, which
will be presented tonight at the Amer
lean Theatre.
The bad man here is a most likable
young chap, whose depredations take
eccentric channels. For instance, he
holds up the Pacific Limited and robs
the conductor of his ticket punch.
and robs him of quantities of food
which he bestows upon a friendless
little orphan who lives on the out
skirts of civilization.
The reason is that "Passin' Thru, .
as he calls himself for want of a
better name, has no idea who his
father was. He suspects that he may
have been born illegitimate. There
fore, he is an enemy to society, which
would make him an outcast.
In the course of the stirring action
of the play, "Passin' Thru" learns
that his father was honorably married
to his mother and that his parentage
was regular in every respect.
Shadows of Her Past" is another
Sunshine, comedy. They cannot make
them any better.

CITY TO HAVE FIRE
PROTECTION SOON

A fire department properly equipped
is now an assured fact for Winnie
mucca. The City Council held spe-
cial meeting last night and decided to
purchase an American-La France
combination chemical and hose auto
truck and also a GMC dump truck.
The chemical will cost $4140 and will
be equipped with two 40-gallon chemi-
cal tanks, 1000 feet of 2h-inch
hose, 400 feet of 11s-inch hose,
ladders and everything necessary on
an up-to-the-minute fire-fighting out
fit. II will be full nickel plated and
a decided asset to the city. The dump
truck will cost $3262.30.
1t will probably take from two to
three months for shipment and in
stalling, but we have the foundation
of first-class fire defense. AS soon as
the chemical truck and proper alarm
system are installed the Board of Fire
Underwriters of the Pacific Coast has
agreed to grant a cut in fire insurance
rates of ten per cent This saving of
ten per cent on all the fire insurance
carried in this city will mean total
saving to Winnemuccans sufficient to
pay for the entire equipment in about
two years.
