PARTY OF MOTORISTS FROM
FALLON MEET MISHAP

An accident occurred to n party
of Fallonites last Sunday evening
on their return trip from Reno, that
With a less careful driver or one less
familiar with the road would have
aad fatal ending.
Accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Grob and Miss Dorothy Mahan,
Fred Wightman left for an auto trip
to Reno last Saturday and on their
return until reaching a point mile
west of Hazen the journey was with
out mishap.
At this point the road is and has
been for too long a period badly
washed out and at the moment of
approach the head light of locomo-
tive bound west blinded the driver
and the car struck the ditch and al
though its speed was not exceeding
ten miles an hour the impact was
violent enough to throw both ladies
from the car, their injuries fortu-
nately being slight.
Both male occupants have ever
been noted for their chivalry but
they are likewise forced to admit
that they retained their seats and
we're uninJured.
The car did not escape so lightly,
as the forward part was badly dam
aged and II was towed into town
Monday for rehabilitation. The par
ty spent Sunday night in Hazen re-
turning home Monday by train.

KAISER MUST co IS
PRESIDENTS
ANSWER
No Armistice Can Even BE Thought
of While Germany Continues
Her Atrocities
Special TO the Standard

President Wilson has answered
Germany's peace proposal with a de-
cision which not only fnlfills the ex-
pectations of supporters of diploma
cy, but also dispels the fears of those
who predicted he would substitute
victories at arms with defeats at di-
plomacy.
No peace with kaiserism; autocra-
cy must go; no armistice can even
be thought of while Germany con-
tinues her atrocities on land and
sea; peace cannot be considered un-
less it fully is dictated by the allied
commanders in the field In such
terms as absolutely provide safe
guards and guarantees that Ger
many's part will not be a scrap of
paper This. in a few words, is the
presidents message.

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS
PLANNED FOR NEAR future
Repair of Bridge Over the Carson
River to be Undertaken
At Once

II. F. Holley one of the State
highway engineers who has located
here to supervise highway work over
the Lincoln Highway left last Fri
day for Ely to inspect the roads
from that end and on his return will
decide at which point improvement
work will begin.
Under orders of the government
no new road building is permitted
but needed repairs to existing high
ways is sanctioned.
These highways are laid out In
districts, their designations being /
and 2 in this part of the state cover
ing the Overland Trail from Wads-
worth following the Humboldt river
to the State line and also from
Wadsworth by way of Fernley east
over the Lincoln Highway
The plan to be followed is one
long advocated by the Standard of
designating patrolmen who are to be
held responsible for sections under
their charge and to keep in constant
repair such divisions of the high
ways.
1t is believed that considering the
wretched condition of the Hazen
road that this will be the initial
work unless the eastern portion of
the highway should prove to be in
greater need of immediate attention,
which seems hardly probable.
The old dilapidated bridge over
the Carson river a mile and a half
west of town and which trembles
under the footballs of a traveller Is to
be repaired at once an announce
ment that will be received with re-
joicing by all who have been obliged
to travel over its rickety architect
ure.

LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN
TO CLOSE NEXT SATURDAY
Splendid Response Thus Far Nets
$f35,OOO and Committee Is OPP
timistic Regarding Outcome

With four more days before the
close of the Fourth Liberty Loan
drive the promise for a successful
close of the three weeks campaign
looks bright.
Much is yet to be done however,
before this county reaches the top,
but the excellent committee ar
rangements by which every district
Is CLEANED by the energetic workers
gives those in charge confidence that
Churchill County will again secure
a place amongst those sections of
the nation that have responded to
his the fourth appeal for war aid.
Mrs. E. B. Loring chairman Of
the Womens Committee is more
than pleased with the result of the
ahors of the captains in the differ
ent districts and in the more crafty
ng reports from these workers to
The effect that in nearly every in
stance their visits were courteously
received and the subscriptions gen
orally being made in accordance
with the allotment of the committee.
Many instances of personal sacri-
fees to meet the present most needy
call for our boys in the service came
to their notice, but these also were
among the most cheerful investors
to the loan.
The efforts of these workers last
Saturday during the stay of the
Trophy Train netted most handsome
returns and richly rewarded them
for their most difficult day. Their
activities were especially noticed by
the trained officials In charge of the
train who were not at ell chary in
complimenting them on their excel
lent organization.
The spirit of patriotism is in the
air and few hours ago two well
known citizens each of whom has
twice generously subscribed to the
loan. bantered one another on a fur
ther subscription with the result
that they hastened to the bank and
called for two blanks which they re-
turned with checks for $3.50 at
tached to each.
Wonder with its depleted pay roll
proved again its loyalty in a sub
scription of approximately $4,000
in addition to most valuable service
sendered at the train by several of
The ladies who were of the large
party who came over to welcome it.
The U. S. Reclamation Service
has also done itself proud as from
he Project Manager through the
antire list of employees without an
exception every name is on the hon
or roll that lists the names of those
through whose assistance our boys
are to be fed, clothed and armed.
The total amount of subscriptions
from the Reclamation Service is
lose to $500.
The |. II. Kent Company and em-
ployees are on the roll for 1000.
The total subscriptions to date are
ibout s135,000 and 1t is not to be
believed that this county will fail in
securing the remaining $4,000 that
will put us over the top. yet to gain
this much to be desired end there is
mood for thosa who ean and have NOT
done their part to inscribe their
names on the Honor Roll before the
close of the day on Saturday, Oc-
tober 10th.

DOMESTIC PEANUT OIL
Specialists Say That American Mil
lers Should Secure Entiree Mar
ket-ImpOrts Now Cut Off

With improved American machinery
for cleaning, shelling and pressing
peanuts, American millers should be
able to produce as high-gradc oil as
that made in foreign countries at a
price which will secure the entire do
mestic market for United States mills.
| This was the assertion of II. S.
Bailey, of the Bureau of Chemistry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in an address before southern
| ol-mill supcrintendcnts.
Problem Must BE Studied
"While you can get oil from pea
nuts IT you drive them into your cot
! tonseed conveyors, clean them in the
same reels and over the same screens,
grind thm in regulation hullers, cook
them, and press them just as though
| they were cotton seed," said Mr.. Bal
ley, "you will not get as good results
as if you studied your new problem at
every step and fitted each machine
and operation to the new material"
Imported Oils of High Grade
| Before the war cut off practically
all imports Of French and Dutch pea
nut oils, the United States was i'm
porting nearly 100000 gallons year,
a year, or about one-eghth as, much
as Of olive oil, and at an average
price Tor all grades, including soap
stock, of more than half that of edible
olive oil. In Hamburg in 1914 there
was a difference Of more than 2 cents
a pound in favor Of peanut oil as
against cotton seed, and in Liverpool
the edible grades will bring 1 to 1-2
cents more pound in barrels than
the best American butter OIL These
peanut oils, however, were not made
from cooked nuts, but were pressed
cold without any shells. If they are
to compete in this country with the
foreign oils, the specialist said, the
millers must make grade Of peanut
oil which can be sold for salad and
cooking purposes without any treat
ment other than that it receives at he
crude mills.
Peanu oil mills, the specialist de-
clared, should be located where the
farmers can profitably grow the Span
ish type of peanuts, which are higher
in oil content and have less shell than
the larger Virginia varieties. The
mills should be equipped with peanut
cleaners, and all the nuts, after going
over screens to remove the sticks,
stones and other trash, should be thor
oughly secured.

LONDON. Aug. 4.-There has been
little territorial change in the Sois-
sons Rheims salient in the last twenty
four hours, but the Allies are continu-
ing their forward movement toward the
Aisne. Progress has been somewhat
slower, probably due to caution.
Although around scissors the French
crossed the Aisnc at two points, it is
uncertain whether Foch intends to
push forward beyond the line of the
Aisne. The chief progress reported to-
day was in the centre of the salient,
where the Americans are harassing ths
fleeing German rear guards between the
Aisne and the Ncsle and exacting heavy
toll.
All question as to where the Crown
Prince intends to make his next stand
is now removed, as his guns north of
the Alsne are throwing down heavy
barrage for the first time since he be-
gan his precipitate withdrawal.
Much heavy lighting is expected in
the rolling country between the rivers
the Allies will find much stronger op-
position than they have met since the
enemy evacuated scissors.
French cavalry is being employed in
ever increasing numbers and small
French tanks are doing wonderful work
in the region Of scissors, where both
armies are in close contact
On every side American troops are
being commended highly and their work
is improving daily. Many American
units are fighting with the skill of
veterans and all show gallantry un-
eXcelled by any troops. By training
and temperament American soldiers
are fitted for just the kind of work
they have had since the middle of July,
and regimental officers are winning
high praise for their initiative, adapta-
bility and promptness.
1t is no eXaggeration to say the AM
orleans have jumped into the veteran
class in their first battle and that
henceforth they will be assigned to
battlefield are highly important, but
their moral effect on the French civil
lans is of even greater value. Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors here have not
only the respect but the affection of
the British, and the British are slow
TO make friends.
The adjustment of the German lines
north, of Albert, where the enemy has
withdrawn to the other side Of the
Ancre, is considered highly significant.
There are two explanations-frst, that
Rupprecht has abandoned his plan of
attacking north of Amiens, toward Alb
beville; second, that the weakening of
his reserves at the urgent demand of
the Grown Prince has forced him to
shorten his line. The first suggestion
seems the more probable, for the differ
ence in the number of troops required
to hold the two positions is compara-
lively small.
1t may be that Rupprecht, looking
ahead, considers his new line much
more adaptable for q strong defence
Should fighting be resumed on the
Somme field. His new line brings him
almost to the identical position he held
IN July, 1916.
