P. c. Wilder
Disappears

P. c. Wilder, former resident of
Gardnerville, disappeared from his
home in Reno last Saturday evening,
and his wife believes that possibly
he has met with foul play. When he
left home he told Mrs. Wilder that he
was going down to the depot to meet
some friends and has not been seen
since. At eight o'clock Saturday
night, Earl Christensen of this place
me. Mr.. Wilder at The Reno depot
talkj' with him for several minutes.
He stated to Mr.. Christensen that he
was to meet some friends that were
coming in on the train.
Failing to return home as was his
usual custom, Mrs. Wilder became
and Monday morning a state
wide search was started for the
missing man, but thus far, no trace of
him has been found.
Mr.. Wilder was in the mercantile
business at this place years ago, and
several years ago, he sold his home
here and moved to Smith Valley. Two
ago he sold his ranch in
Smith Valley and moved to Reno.

Letters From Our
Boys ''Ouer There''

an awful time to make me understand
that the laundry was "cinq francis"
five francs. A franc is about zoe in
our u. S. money. 1t cost s francs or
one dollar for both Chapman's and
my laundry. That was not SO bad
was it?
You ought to see how they wash
here anyway. They take a wheel
barrow of clothes down to the river
or stream and then they have a pad
die that they spank the clothes with.
You can go along the river most any
time and see a row of women wash
ing and spanking away to beat the
band
How is grandma getting along now
Give her good big hug and kiss for
me. Have you heard from Bro.
Ballenger or Comes? | sure would
like to hear from them or any of the
rest. AS yet have received no mail
but guess when it does finally arrive,

Well dear ones, this Is not very
long letter but there is not much to

keeper, Pray for me always that l
may be faithful and true to our Lord
and Saviour. Give all my best re-

Geo. Sbringmeyer
Still at Washington

George Springmeyer is still in Wash
ington, expecting chance to go
abroad as a soldier with the next
artillery detachment. If someone had
not confused the town of Nevada, Mo-,
with the state of Nevada, he says, he
would have received an appointment
as major and judge advocate in the
national army and this state would
have had two such appointments. As
ii is he has written to Judge Stoddard
congratulating the judge on winning
a commission says the Gazette.
Ray Baker is one of the best known
and most talked of men in Nevada, .
says Springmeyer in his letter, "and
there is never enough he can do for
others, particularly if they are from
Nevada. He is one of the best known
and most talked of men in Washing
ton. People here appreciate him and
the splendid work he is doing as direc-
tor of the mint. His standing influen-
ce is almost unbelievable. To illus
trate it is not uncommon for sena-
tors and diplomats to come to Ray to
do something which they themselves
could not do. Ii is generally recog-
nized that 1t would have been very
agreeable to the White House ii he
had been appointed senator and II

Clocks to be
Set Ahead

The daylight saving bill was sign
ed Tuesday by President Wilson. 1t
puts all clocks forward an hour on
the last Sunday of March and turns
them back again the last Sunday in
October.
The daylight saving plan will go
into effect and be observed without
the slightest disorganization or i'm
pairment of existing conditions.
Trains will run as usual and every
feature of daily life into which the
element of time enters will remain
unchanged.
Before retiring on the last Sun
! day of this month, the American
householder will set his clock an
hour ahead and then may go to sleep
and forget entirely about daylight
saving until the last Saturday of Oc-
tober. On that date he will reverse
the process, turning back the hands
of the clock an hour and the next day
the nation again will run on sun"
time
In the. summer the American man
actually will rise, transact his daily
business and retire all an hour carrier
than has been his custom, but with
his clock an hour fast he will not
know the difference. An hour of day.
light thus will be conserved in the
afternoon.
The plans practicability and effici.
ency have been effectively demon
strated In IL European countries.
