Engagement Of
Miss Jepsen

Last Friday evening Mrs. M. Jep-

which time about thirty ladies were
invited to appear in masculine attire
and under an assumed name.
When the time came for arrival
they all responded in a manly way.

credit to a real masquerade.
The evening was one round OF
pleasure, conversation such as men
indulge in, was supposed to be car

of stories, also vocal and instrumental

At midnight Mrs. Jepsen served

COMPLAINS OF
DOUGLAS MILL

Recently the Riverside Mills of
Reno filed charges againt the Douglas
Milling 4 Power company with the
Federal Food Commission wherein it
was alleged that the latter company
was not complying with the food regu-
lations in the manufacture Of flour.
The food regulations call for mills to
manufacture barrel of -four from
264 pounds of wheat.
Upon being apprised of the charg-
es. the Douglas Milling company I'M
mediately took up the matter with the
food commission and had no trouble
In proving that they we're complying
with the regulations AS a matter of
fact the Douglas mill is manufacture
ing barrel of -four from 253 pounds
OF wheat, despite the charges eminat-
ing from rival concern at Reno.

Red Cross
Dance Tonight

Tonight is the time for the holding
of a Red Cross dance at Genoa which
will be under the personal supervis-
ion of Mrs. j. l.. Campbell and Mrs.
l.. Finnegan. AS stated last week
the entire net proceeds are to be turn
ed over the work room of Carson VAL
ley chaptr of the Red Cross for the
purchase of materials for bandages
etc. In order to. swell the funds thus
TO be turned over to the Red Cross,
the ladies of Genoa are to donate
inuch of the good things to be placed
On the table for the midnight supper.
A report has been circulated that
the price OF admission to the dance,
which has been set at two dollars, in
cluding supper, would only entitle the
holders to dance until twelve o'clock,
and that a special collection would
then be taken up to pay for the music
This is an absolute falsehood and the
regular admission of $500 will en-
tit the holders to dance all night
should they so desire.
The Baker orchestra will furnish
music for this dance and from all ac-
counts, large crowd will be in at
tendance from this side of the Valley

.L|Q||0R BOARD
REVOKE LICENSE

The Douglas County Liquor Board
met in special session at Minden Sat
urday and acting upon information OF
reliable nature, revoked the liquor
license of Leo Dietrich who conducts
the Corner sa oon at this place. In
revoking the license the liquor board
declared the saloon to be a general
nuisance"
The revoking of the liquor license
of Leo Dietrich Is directly laid to the
fact that on the day the news was re-
ceived here of the sinking of the
Tuscania by German submarine
which carried 200 American so diers
to watery grave. German sympath-
izers gathered in his saloon and sang
German songs, conveying the belief
that they were rejoicing in the dis
aster that befel the American troops.
Mr.. Dietrich went to Reno and en-
gagged a lawyer and 1t is understood
that he will fight the charge.
The Record-Courier sincerely hopes
that Mr.. Dietrich csn prove that no
such demonstration occurred in his
place of business: that IL it did, he
was not there and had no hand in
such disloyal demonstration. We
hope that he will bring the case to
quick action and is alb to prove his
innocence
The case is attracting state wide at
sention and has been brought to the
attention of Governor Boyle who
made the fol owing statement.
Il will say that a thorough investi-
CATION of the matter will be made and
II facts warrant 1t there viii be action
aiken that will make it very unlikely
that any further trouble of similar
nature will occur from that particu-
ar source.
In the same issue of the Gazette,
Attorney-General Thatcher says:
Its a matter that certainly viii be
Investigated and dealt with in a man
ler warranted by the facts No
lesitancy will be shown in dealing
With those people up there in case
1hey have overstepped themselves"

highly respected lady of this COM
munity, was called suddenly by death
early Sunday morning at the home Of
her son-in-.aw, ID. Winkelman in this

Hanover, Germany on January 9Th,
1854. With her husband and children
she came to America in 1897 and lo-
Gated In Carson Valley at which pace
she resided continuously since that
time. During her residence here,
the deceased, through her kindly and
generous acts, endeared herself to a
wide circle of friends, who deeply
mourn her sudden demise. q
At the time Of her death she was
aged 64 years one month and / day.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the Winkelman home, thence at
the Lutheran Church. Rev. F. H.
Menzel conducted the services which
were largely attended.
Besides a devoted husband, she is
survived by one son. Henry Wehrman,
of this Valley and three daughters,
Mrs. d. Winkelman, Mrs. Frank R.
Howard and Mrs. Henry Atcheson.
To them the people of this community
extend their sympathies in their hour
of deep sorrow.
The remains were laid to their
final rest in Garden cemetery.

TO PURCHASE
NEW EQUIPMENT

Monday evening fair representa-
ton OF property holders OF Gardner
Vile met with the fire department to
discuss the feasibility of improving
the fre-fghting equipment of the de-
partment. The plan as outlined by
the department met with the hearty
approval of the proerty owners, re-
su ting that the committee on the
purchase of equipment, was given full
power to proceed with the work.
According to present plans, a motor
truck is to be purchased upon which
is to be mounted powerful pump,
geared to the motor OF the truck. In
addition to this, the truck will carry
the hose and other necessary appli-
ances. A small automobi e eqpipped
with two so gallon chemical tanks. is
to be purchased.
In order to save as much money
for the taxpayers as possible, with
out sacrificing the efficiency of the
equipment. 1t 1t planned to purchase
the pump and chemical tanks from
manufacturers and have them mount
ed on trucks In local machine shop.
In this way. II is believed that at
least $1,000 can be saved. At any
rate, the committee is now at work
gathering data and will soon have
their plans completed.

TELLS OF LIFE
IN FRANCE

was bookkeeper for the Dangberg
Land & Live Stock company of Min
den. has written the following letter
to Lisle Jamison of Reno from some
where In France" where is now
stationed with company B, of the
Twentf-fifth engineers.
New Years Eve and am planning
on going to bed about $780, Not
quite like some of the previous New
Years, is 1t? Am wondering how you
will spend the evening and hope you
will enjoy it.
Have made move since my last
letter to you, although guess that
won't enlighten you a great deal con-
sidering the fact that you didn't know
where was, or where | am now
At any rate, | have struck a much
colder climate and am tramping about
In three or four inches of snow, and
enjoying some real cold weather.
Reminds me Of the winters at home
somewhat, only the thermometer
doesn't go SO low, and it seems lot
colder.
Cant say that enjoy crawling out
of the blankets at $50 under the con-
ditions, but console myself with the
thought Of the big sleeps am going
to have when | get back
Enjoyed a first class Christmas
dinner on that day. We had turkey,
dressing, potatoes and gravy, nuts,
app es and figs and nearly all the
things that go with a regular Christ
mas dinner, with only a few except
ions such as a table, a chair, linen,
etc.. but We made use of the nearest
stone fence, which made a fairly good
table after the snow had been brushed
of.
Il had read Of soldiers being billited
but didn't know the exact working
scheme until few days ago when
experienced the real thing. We we're
taken to a small French village and
each given a space 10 sleep in one of
the many barns in the town. II l
could have stayed there very long, be-
lieve | might have learned to talk
French as We were practically, living
in the homes of the people. Wish you
could see some of the villages here.
They don't seem to have had and plan
for laying out a town, and you might
step from the street into parlor.
kitchen or barn just as they saw fit
to arrange 1t. The streets, or alleys
as we call them, run every which way
end remind me of the maize we used
to get lost in at Del Monte. How
ever, this particular village was
built in the sixteenth century, accord
ing to dates on some of the buildings
SO can make allowances for some
changes in architecture. etc.
Il haven't received any more mail,
and guess the mail days will be few
and far between from now on. It's
kind of hard to write without receiv-
ing replies, also there are times when
1t is impossible to write for several
days. especial when we are moving,
hut you can rest assured that | am
all right and getting tough.
