ALL READY FOR
RED CROSS DRIVE

The office of the council of defense
was a busy place last night, when the
committee OF women appointed by the
Red Cross and the committee of men
appointed by the council of defense
met and perfected plans for the Red
Cross drive for $1OO,O00,0O0 which is
to start next Monday.
After the plans had been made all
those present gathered around the
long table and folded and addressed
circular letters which were sent out
to all the known residents of Hum
boldt county.
1t was decided that tables and at
tendants would be placed in the post
Office, each of the banks and each of
the drug stores to receive contribu-
tions. Four days would be given the
people in which to volunteer contribu-
tions, and if at the end of that time
the offerings were insufficient, then
a personal canvass would be under
taken.
The amount necessary to raise is

new RULINGS ON
BREAD IMPORTANT

Something which seems to have
escaped notice of the newspapers of
the entire state and which is utmost
importance to every person living
in Nevada, is the new ruling of
the state food administration which
provides that a record of all bread,
pastry, macaroni, sugar, crackers,
and wheat products generally, is to be
kept by retailers and forwarded to
headquarters in Reno each week.
This means that the six-pound limit
per person per month of wheat prod
ucts is to be regidly enforced. and the
action is probably calculated to make
sure no one is evading the ruling.
But of even greater Importance. and
something most people have not taken
into account with the wheat situation,
is that each loaf of bread is to be
charged" to the person buying same
and is to be counted as so much
wheat and deducted from the total al
lowance of same. This means that a
family of two persons, purchasing one
loaf OF bread per day, consumes their
appOrti0nment of twelve pounds Of
wheat and they are not entitled to any
more pastry of any sort From the
order IL is judged the intention is to
see that they do not get any more.
The whole matter seems to be
rather hazy and no one seems to thor
oughly understand 1t. but in the main
the foregoing is probably correct.

WELL REPRESENTED
AT WAR CONFERENCE IN RENO

With over forty men and women in
attendance, says the Reno Gazette,
the Lovelock and Winnemucca dele
gates are taking a very active part in
the war conference H. ]. Murrish of
Lovelock, one of the delegates, said
that they had several problems to
consider. The wheat situation in
Lovelock is not very good and this is
one matter that may be taken up,
although it has been discussed before
at several conferences. The lack of
water in the Humboldt river is caus-
ing some of the wheat growers con-
siderable worry, says Murrish.

OTHERS INVOLVED
in BRIBERY CASE

w. w. Percival, manager of the
Elko Milling Company. was inter-
viewed this morning and said that the
articles published in metropolitan
papers in connection with the arrest
of-James Wood. arrested in San Fran
cisco for accepting a bribe, and who
was employed by the Nevada food ad-
ton of minor details, according to the
Elko Free Press. Continuing, Mr..
Percival said:
when Mr.. Wood was here we had
several conversations, which was be-
fore the time the articles appeared in
the newspapers relative to the fines
imposed for alleged violations of the
food laws. He left for Ely and sent
me a telegram to come to that place.
From what had passed between us l
was suspicious, and went to some of
the members of the board of the COM
pany and our attorney, who advised
me to go on to Ely and see what was
coming up.
While there Mr.. Wood made GER
tain proposals as to exclusive terri
tory and the sale of our -four and de-
manded that he be paid $500. l put
him off but eventually gave him 5000,
with the understanding that he was
to be paid the remainder at a later
date in Reno, when he notified me as
to the date. On my return to Elko /
laid the whole matter before my part
ners and wired to Mr.. Lowell at San
Francisco. On receipt of wire from
Mr.. Wood, the appointment was made
in San Francisco after a talk over the
long-distance phone, and we met as
per agreement in San Francisco.
"on my arrival in that city went
to Mr.. Lowell and we agreed that the
whole matter be placed before the de-
partment of justice, which was done,
and following their directions, two
adjoining rooms were secured at the
hotel and dictagraph was installed
the secret service agents could see
and hear. Mr. Wood. Mr.. Lowell and
myself went to the rooms at o'clock
on Monday afternoon, and Wood went
into details of his scheme. / paid him
800 in five-dollar bills, which had
been previously marked by the federal
officers.
"The conversation was taken down
by Special Agents Treadwell and
Rathbun and other agents of the de-
partment of justice, who were in the
adjoining room, and they saw me hand
Wood the money. He proposed that
we pay him in advance each month
the sum of $500, for which he was to
write a letter of reprimand to the
manager of the South Fork mill, and
fine him $25 and to withhold his re-
port to Washington recommending the
$1,000 fine on the Elko Milling Com
pany, and that we were to have ex-
elusive territory of certain parts of
Nevada, he claiming he had the power
to keep out all other -four.
"The department of justice has
taken the matter in hand and has as
sured me that full investigation will
be made and that all the guilty par
ties will be punished. From what
Wood said, there are others impli-
to make public this phase of the in
vestigation, but will say that / am
fully confident that every one who is
guilty will be punished"
