HYOR O-ELECTR.|C
PLANTS SAVE
FUEL OIL
SIX MILLION BARRELS BEING
CONSERVED ANNUALLY IN
WEST

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.-Vast
development of ~hydro-electric re-
sources, and corresponding saving
in fuel oil, is a win the war pro-
gram already we'll under way on
the Pacific slope.
The fuel oil supply must be furth-
er conserved, D. NJ. Folsom, United
States fuel oil director for Califor-
mia, announced today, to meet the
increased demands of industry and
to supply the rapidly growing fleets
of oil-burning vessels. The pres
ent available oil supply in Califor-
mia, he said, shows a surplus of ap-
proximately 20, 100000 barrels and
an increase of 100000 barrels
annual consumption over supply.
Assuming that production and con-
sumption will continue at the same
rate, the surplus would therefore
last about two years.
Notable economies, which will to-
tai some 10000 0 barrels annually
have already been effected through
the adoption of the western indus
tries of patriotic conservation meth
DDS since the first of the year, said
Folsom. In the Pacific northwest
oil consumers have been induced
to substitute their refuse of sawmills
and coal for oil, and many smeiters
in Nevada, Arizona and Utah are
using powdered coal instead of Pc
troleum as fuel.

MISS JEANNE De TtRMtS
WEEDS CALIFORNIA MAN
DAUGHTER OF MAJOR II
FRENCH ARMY MARRIED
YESTERDAY

John l.. Dixon. an accountant for
the Westwood Lumber company at
Westwood, Cal, and Miss Jeanne De
Termes, daughter of Count and
Countess c. P. De Termes of Cold
field, were united in matrimony at
5 p. m. yesterday at the home of
the brides parents on East Crook
street. The ceremony was per-
formed by Justice of the Peace Mar
vim Arnold.
The marriage came as a surprise
to the many friends of Miss De
Termes, only the most intimate of
whom knew of her approaching
marriage.
With her parents, Miss De Termes
came to Goldfield in 1909 from
Paris, after a short stay in New
York. During her residence here
she made many friends through her
pleasing personality and musical
talent. She is a graduate of the
national conservatory of music in
Paris.
Following the ceremony a we'd
ding party was held at the home on
East Crook street, at which the
bride entertained a large number
of her friends.
The bride and groom departed
last night for Tonopah by automo-
bile and left there this morning for
Westwood, where they will make
their home.
Miss De Termes' father is now
a major in the French forces in
France and within the past few
months he has been wounded twice
on the battlefront. Her mother
will remain in Goldfield.

HAD KNOWLEDGE OF GERMS
Abundant Proof That Ancients Were
Aware Of the Existence Of Little
Demons of Disease.

That the ancients knew the microbes
of diseases is impossible to imagine,
yet it is certain hat many of them I'M
derstood that there were such things.
DR.. Jonathan Wright of Pleasantville.
N. Y, quoted in the Scientific Monthly
from many Roman, Arabian and other
writer's extracts that prove this.
VarrO and Columella, in the first
century after Christ, ascribed the dis
eases of Rome to little animals which
live in the swamps.
And the Egyptian and Assyrian CEN
sers, thousands of years before Christ,
burned resinous drugs and let loose
the smoke of ethereal oils to exercise
the little demons of disease precisely
as our board of health doctors until
very recently fumigated u houses to
kill the germs of cOntagion. How eff
cacious either method may be is nei-
Their here nor there, the essential fact
being that the a%ncients, without micro
scopes, had discovered the great truth
upon which modern medicine is based.

SILLY TO WORRY OVER PAST
Far Better to Get Busy as Possible In
Planning Something Worth While
in the Future.

The woman who sits around discon-
solately bemoaning the fact that what
she considers her best years have van
ished does not by any mean deserve
the sympathy she would like to re-
ceive.
Pray, who outside the home circle
cares what ones years are, whether
the bloom has faded from ones cheek
or whether ones figure has lost or Is
losing its youthful lines7
The person who foolishly wastes
good time in wishing that he or she
could reclaim other days should try to
forget self and Immediately become
busted with some wholesome task.
There are no fountains of perpetual
youth to be found at any price in any
cline. This fact was demonstrated
long ago., and the person who sets out
in search of those magic waters will
return bitterly disappointed.
Time leaves its traces upon all of
US, much as we would like to refute
this charge. How senseless then to
resort to artificial means, hoping that
by so doing we shall eradicate the
marks of passing years!
On the other hand, why not concen-
trate ones best thoughts upon the
present, remembering that there are
October sunsets more lovely and more
brilliant than any that ever paint a
June sky!
The woman past her first youth has,
If she is blessed with good health plus
will power, a work to do, and she
should do it. Not one of us ever ques-
lions the age of any person who per-
forms some worthwhile task. Instead.
we applaud the worker, meanwhile
hoping earnestly that he or she shall
long continue to serve Or entertain

GLADLY TOOK "WAR" BREAD
Horrible Thought Quickly Cured Small
Girl of Unreasonable Prejudice
Against the Article.

"Oh, mother, must I get war bread?"
Little Daughter had been asked to

school lunch.
"It's wheatless day, dear"
"But I don't like war bread. It's so
dark and different. And the rules
aren't for children, are they?"
"No, but you know we were asked
to SEND one million bushels of wheat
to the allies by May first. We have
given our word, and our baker is try

bread, which has almost nc white flour
in it whatever. But, of course, If you
don't feel you can help in this way,
you may buy a lighter loaf"
"Little Daughter started off. In a
few moments she returned. Mother
unwrapped the package. There was
the small, dark loaf. indeed different,
but really most palatable and nOur-

Habit.

The drunken dinner table habits or
a century ago, referred to by he bishop
Of Chelmsford, are not to be wondered
at when one considers the iron etiquette
of the time in relation to toasts. In
this little matter Scotland seemed to
have set rather a bad example. Accord
ing to Lord Cockburn, it was the rule
In edinburgh society to drink each

Only Type of Eagle Known.

A Russian grand duke, n of the
cars predecessors, was once the
guest of a German prince. 1t was
early in the century. In Russia the
imperial double-headed eagle is to be
seen everywhere and on everything
throughout the empire stamped, paint
ed, embroidered, or sculptured. AT
that period the education of grand
dukes was somewhat limited. This
grand duke went out shooting In Ger
army, and, among other things, shot
a large bird. He asked an expert

asked, "when it has only n head?'

Every six minutes a merchant s
sci arrives ami another departs from

Grafton does not include vessels in
the service of the army or navy.
The merchant fleet of 1900 ships
under the control of the shipping
board are run as railroads on a
time schedule. The duty OF meas
uring ships performances with
their tasks is lodged with the plan
ming and statistics division OF the
shipping board, headed by E. ii.
Gray, formerly dean of the Harvard
graduate school of business.
Obviously, the division must know
the tasks in detail, and so it CO.
ordinates with the war industries
and war trade boards in determln-
ing and providing for the country's
needs from abroad. 1t works on
month-to-month schedules or as far
in advance at it is feasible or posi-
BILE to forecast.
AS the country has gone more
and more on a war basis, 1t has
been regarded necessary to limit
the list of essential imports to less
than 100. Data on the ships and
their trade provides the basis for
operation of the vessels under the
shipping boards control. Likewise,
records are kept of neutral vessels
coming to this country or linking
up with it's foreign trade.

Reno Banker Dies

Frank M. Lee, vice president and
former cashier of the Reno National
bank, died a few days ago in Santa
Barbara, CAL, after a long illness.
When associated with the late Sen

among the most prominent bankers
of the state. He first entered the
banking business in 1886, when he
became connected with the First Ma
tional bank of Reno. At the time
of his death he was vice president
and a director in the Reno National
bank, the Bank of Nevada Savings
and Trust company, the First Ma
tional bank of Winnemucca and the

SIMPLY PLACE OF DESOLATI0N
Little for the Traveller to Enthuse Over
When He Visits the Old City
Of Jerusalem.

The allies advance In Palestine has
taken them through Jerusalem and the
little village of Jericho. The plain of
Jericho, the scene of so many historic
incidents in the past, is once again
caught in the old glare of the spot
light. Such a light reveals too plainly
the hopeless poverty of the people, the
cracks and holes in the rough walls Of
the novels, the fields and gardens, fall
len by neglect into a riot of weeds and
wild flowers growing rank.
1t is better to look at Jericho at sun
set, and not too critically even then. In
a soft light the wretchedness of the
matched huts is less insistent, the jas
mine and oleanders seem sweeter and
the ragged Bedouins acquire pictur-
e%squeness in spite of dirt and squalor.
1t is only a short walk through the
plain from this Jericho of the present
to the two other sites which have
borne the same name. One, the Jericho
of Old Testament, destroyed by Joshua,
bits of unearthed walls and pottery.
The third Jericho of the triangle is the
Jericho of the New Testament, the city
Of palm trees which Antony bestowed
upon Cleopatra and which she later
sold to Herod the Great. Made gor-
geous in the reign of Herod as a city
of palaces, 1t is now only a wreck Of
stones and battered towers. The palms
for which it was famous are gone, with
the palaces and circus which they
shaded. The plain of Jericho is a will
derness, bound to civilization by its
many highways and it's tiny village. A
few miles to the southwest lies Jeru-
salem, connected with the village by
the robber-infested road along which
the good Samaritan Travelled. All about
the plain rise the cliffs, mounted by
steep and winding trails. 1t is not an
attractive region, but even If 1t were
more wild and desolate than 1t Is it
would still be much visited, for at
every step are landmarks of history.

TEUTONS SAY THEY
ARE BEING ROBBED
Discomfort DUE TO ANNOUNCE
MENTS OF GREAT
PROFITS

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 16. The
moral deterioration of the German
nation in consequence of various
trials is greatly troubling clear
minded observers of the fatherland.
The Lutheran synod of Berlin the
other day called a special meeting
to discuss how to deal with the dis
solute ways of the thousands of
young munitions workers, male and
female, who habitually squander
their high wages in riotous living
and immortality.
1t was agreed that most of the
youth of the country seemed to en-
tirely beyond control.
Much has already been written
about the unsafety of public streets.
and the general callous indifference
to the sufferings of others. This
seems to apply to the whole of
Germany. :.
Every mans hand seems to be
against his neighbor," the Cologne
Gazette despairingly exclaims, and
it devotes a whole article to the in
tense if latent anger Of the populace
at the extortions to which it is sub
jected by the INSCRIPTIONS method
of tradesmen, who in their turn are
made the victims of deficient gov
eminent control and the usurious
practices of producers.
Popular discomfort is famed by
announcements of extravagant pro-
fits. such as those made by a meat
firm which supplies the army. 1t
is operated with a capital of 1,000,-
900 marks and in one year netted
a profit of 722.63S marks.

Woman Carried Baby When Shot

Willie Jack, an Indian boy who
shot Charles Williams and is believ-

at their home at Hicks station in
Nye county, insists that he does not
know whether he shot Mrs. Will

twice, one bullet striking Williams.
He declares Williams shot him when
he went to the ranch for food. He
is injured, but not dangerously.
The rancher declares the Indian fir
ed at him from behind a bluff over
looking the ranch. When shot, Mrs.
Williams carried her 11-months old
child in her. arms, but it was unin-

CAMPAIGN FOR SlL0S
County Agricultural Agent Points Out
Value in Shawnee.

A Lation- wide effort by the United
States department of agriculture to
put before farmers the absolute neces-
5ity OF conserving feed this winter will
be the signal for a big campaign by
the local farm bureau. according to
\ D FoIker, county agricultural
agent
The gov rnment advises that the
most Dractica' way TO save feed is to
build silos. whereby the tremendous
waste that has prevailed may be elm
mated The department of agriculture
estimates ha- corn put into the silo
saves S32 al acre on a 5e-bushel crop.
This is explained by the fact that at
least ~ Pc cent OF the digestibie ma
terlaI OF the. corn plant is Iefr~dn the
slower when the ears only are used
When the con is enslled this 81 per
cent goes I'M the siIo with the So per
cent in the ear
Too frequently an unfavorabIe sea-
son ike that of last year results in
the loss Of the whole corn plant or in
immature soft corn that Is Of little
value But this immature CON- and
even frosted corn # harvested at once,
can be saved by putting il into a silo.
II the latter has become dry. it can
be saved by adding water during the
filling process
Folker says there are only about 15e
sIlos in Shawnee county, but during
the campaign an effort will be made
70 prevail upon each farmer who has
not already done SO TO erect at least
wooden siIo for the coming winter
even If a permanent structure is out
