night. making the trip in automobiles.
They are coming with the avowed in
tention of getting revenge for the
defeat they suffered two weeks ago
at the hands of the Winnemucca team

this game is for the benefit of the
Belgian and French children's relief

buy ticket or so. even if they do not
attend the game, though it's a sure

probably be as follows:
Winnemucca

son, Lambert and Carlson outfielders

SUGAR RATION IS
CUT ONE POUND

Reno, July 26, 1918.
Joe ID. Scott, County Food Admins
traitor. Winnemucca.-Was in
structs only two pounds sugar per
person available for August. Please
notify all grocers in your territory to
allow only three and one-half pounds
per person in their sugar sales books
for period July Is to September 1. and
to scrutinize carefully purchases for
canning. Also give utmost publicity
in newspapers. LENNON.
The foregoing telegram is self
explanatory, but the following in
structions to grocers, with the reason
for the action set forth in the last
paragraph, further explains the dras-
tic order, which is effective at once:
August sugar allowances will be OH
a basis of two pounds of sugar per
person, instead of three pounds as
heretofore. This applies to all fami-
lies, households, boarding houses,
private boarding houses, hotels and
restaurants.
Your Record of Sugar Sales"
should have been received and put
into use by you some time between
July Is and 20. During the period
represented by this book-July Is to
September You will lplease sell to
no one more than his allowance OF
1a for the latter half of July. and 2
pounds for all of August. In other
words, your sales record for July u
to September ! must not show more
than three and one-half pounds sold
for each person in the family or
household.
The 255-pound purchase of sugar
for canning and preserving is still
allowed, but sugar so purchased must
be strictly for canning and preserv-
ing. and the surplus must be returned
at the end of the season. Where more
than one 25-pound purchase is made.
the grocer shall first satisfy himself
that the purchaser has put up fruit
with sugar previously obtained, and
that the sugar is being used for no
other purpose.
This ruling is applicable to every
one In the United States, is made
upon an absolutely impartial basis,
and is made necessary by urgent mill
tary necessity, shortage of sugar and
ships, and submarine sinkings OF
sugar carriers.

CROP BULLETINS
ARE FAVORABLE

The Weather and Crop Bulletin, .
Pacific coast district, issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, says:
Temperatures averaged slightly
above normal in the north Pacific
states, they were nearly normal in
Nevada and along the California
coast, and slightly below the seasonal
average in Arizona and the interior OF
California. Good rains fell lin Ari-
zona, western Oregon and western
ashington, while elsewhere dry
weather continued. These conditions
were as rule favorable for the ripen-
ing and harvesting of grain, and the
maturing of deciduous fruit, but more
rain is needed for pastures and rooa
crops. The dry conditions have in
juriously affected orchards in the
northern portion of Idaho. Irrigation
water is getting low in Oregon and
becoming very scarce in California.
The week was favorable for haying
and the harvesting of the grain crop,
which proceeded rapidly. About half
OF the wheat and barley has been cut
in California.
Winter wheat is maturing rapid,
and the harvesting of this crop is nov
general. The preceding dry weather
has greatly reduced this crop, which
is reported to be from poor to fair In
most places. Corn generally made
satisfactory progress, but it would
be benefited by more rain. The bar
ley harvest is proceeding under favor
able conditions. About half of this
crop has been harvested in California.
where many kernels have shriveled
because of hot weather, and the yields
are not meeting expectations. Rye
and oats made rapid development in
Nevada, Arizona and Oregon. The oat
harvest has begun in Utah and Oregon
and 1T will begin about August in
Nevada.
Weather was generally favorable
for haying. and practically no damage
was done by showers In Californis
and Oregon the bulk of the hay crop
has been gathered and baling is in
progress; crop good. In Nevada the
first crop of alfalfa. with yield and
quality good to excellent, has been
stacked, while in Oregon the second
crop is starting well under irrigation.
Range conditions are good in Art
zona, Utah. Nevada and the elevated
portions of Idaho and California.
Stock are in good condition in Nevada.
In Idaho and Oregon beef cattle of
good weight are being marketed
The Reno. Nevada, special tele-
grapic summary says the first crop
of alfalfa was stacked under fine hay
ing weather; practically no damage
by showers; both yield and quality
good to excellent. Wheat, oats, bar
ley, rye, potatoes and truck crops
made rapid development. Wheat har-
vest will start about August Is; bar
ley and oats few days later. These
crops are in excellent condition in ir-
rigated sections, and fair elsewhere.
Stock and ranges are in good condi-
ton.
