1T IS TOO MUCH TO WASTE

The drink bill is three times as
much money as we spend on public
schools. 1t is as much as we spend
for bread and clothing. 1t is as much
as is earned by all trades unionists.
It's twice the capital in all the ma
tional banks 1t would pay 10 per
cent on all farm properties in the
United States. It's . too much to
waste.

MILLER ESTATE TAX SALE
HAS LOCAL INTEREST

Local interest is attached to the
governments action to sell at auction
the s40.O00,OO0 estate of the late H.
Miller and the annourc oment that At
torney Treadwoll. representing the
estate, intends to leave for Washing
ton soon for the purpose of effecting
a compromise. In the federal court
at San Francisco Monday an order
staying the auction sale thirty days
ws entered and it was given out that
Treadwell would visit Washington to
settle the matter during that time.
Reno attorneys say that the fact
that the Miller estate has virtually ad-
mited that the government is entitled
to collect the tax is equivalent to an
admission that the suit brought by the
state of Nevada to collect similar
tax Is well founded. The case has
been pending In the state supr ,me
court for some time en- an appeal TAX

Labor Shortage Is
Quite Probable
GOVERNMENT AGENT
VISITS THIS VALLEY
Gives Opinion that Farmers
Should Cooperate With
Employment Bureau

L. Leete, connected with the feder-
al department of labor, was here
Tuesday to acQuaint himself with
local condition and to get lineup OF
the needs Of the farmers in harvest
time.
To representative of this paper ne
stated that the farmers were not TAX
ing the interest in solving the labor
question that they should. He gave
it as his opinion that they should fol-
low out the example being set by 9TH
er agricultural districts through Ne
vada, by calling meeting and agree
ing on a uniform wage scale as we'll
as giving their hearty support to the
federal labor bureau established at
this place. To wait until harvest has
started and after the shortage of help
is evident, will be too late to act. This
step should be taken Immediately.
He stated that shortage of labor
exists throughout all the agricultural
districts of the western states and the
problem of harvesting crops will be
serious. In communities where the
farmers are cooperating with the
federal employment bureaus, the gov
ernment will assist in every possible
way, but in communities where the
farmers believe they can handle the
situation without such assistance
they will be given the privilege Of
handling the situation. If they fail.
the responsibility will rest entirely
upon their own shoulders.

TO THE WOMEN OF AMERICA

II is interesting to note that,
though women's part in all the war
activities is emphasized, first place
is given TO the matter of food pro-
duction and food conservation and
women's share in II. The message
reads In part: The women of Amer
lea must see to It that the nation s
producing power is not enfeebled by
the draft made upon 1t to strengthen
the fighting power.
They must produce food by
working gardens, by raising chickens,
by doing farm service where they can
or by helping and encouraging those
who do 1t. They must aid In the
kitchen, conserving food by wise &C.
onomies. canning, drying. preserving
picking and preparing food In s ac-
cordance with the food administra-
tors program. The must purchase
where they see the food administra-
tons emblem, watch their local deal
lers, buy local produce in preference
to shipped goods and resist the temp
tation to hoard.
America Is today rationing the
world. Without our food supplies the
allies could not fight for us. They
are suffering privations. The food
that we save for them is not a saw
ing of money. 1t is a saving OF life.
1t is worth more than its weight in
gold"

STORACESCHEME

OUT

The construction Of storage reser-
voir to impound water to irrigate be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 acres of new
land in Smith, Mason and Antelope
valleys, lands tributary to the Walker
river. is being taken up again by wat
er users in that district. According
to information given out today the
Union Land & Cattle Company, own
ers Of $4,000 acres of land in Smith
valley and 10000 acres in Antelope
valley, will probably submit a propo-
sition to the Water Users Association
of the district soon whereby an agree
ment will be reached In regard to
constructing the reservoir, says the
Reno Gazette.
Under estimates made five or six
years ago, 1t will cost about $40 an
acre to construct the reservoir and II
Is expected that an agreement with
the government may be worked out In
which the government will assume
part Of the expense as 1t owns con-
siderable land on Schurz reservation
that would be affected.
One hundred and one farmers be-
long to the Water Users Association
of the district and It is probable that
In case the plan for building the res
ervoir is carried out that the cost
would be divided among the different
land held by them which would also
include that owned by the govern
ment at the Schurz Indian reserva-
tion.
The proposition is not a new one
but the fact that the water suit
brought by Miller & Lux against 9TH
er water users in the district has been
pending for go many years has held
up the proposition.
The final details on the settlement
of the water suits are now being
cleared up and when these are final
ly disposed Of the reservoir plans will
be taken up In detail. The report
that the Union Land & Cattle Com
pany is preparing to submit q propo-
sition to the other water users on the
project has been given 1t new impetus
and representatives of the Water
Users Association are busy now try
ing to clear up all the questions in
volved in the Miller & Lux suit, which
was compromised on the condition
that the Union Land & Cattle Com
pan would construct the reservoir on
