BOUGHT AS FLOUR SUBSTITUTE

A telegram from State Food Admin
istrator II. A. Lennon addressed to
Joe d. Scott, Winnemucca, states that
effective March II potatoes are re-
moved from the list of substitutes the
housewife may purchase when buying
flour. Now only the articles on the
original list may be purchased with
-four. Bakers may continue to buy
four pounds of potatoes with one of
-four
No sale of -four shall be made un-
less an equal quantity of substitutes
is purchased at the same time. Wheat
-four and wheat substitutes do not
have to be purchased from the same
merchant, but in instances where flour
and substitutes are bought separately
it will be necessary for the purchaser
to procure receipt for the substi-
tutes and present same with the order
for -four; this receipt is to be given
to the person who sells the -four and
is to be kept on file by him. to be
available at all times for use by the
food administration.

BOYS WORKING RESERVE MEETS
WITH ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE

According to Professor J. d. Scott
several of the boy students of the
high school i'm this city have already
enrolled in the Boys Working Reserve
and several more are planning on so
doing. The names of these patriotic
young men were not available today,
on account of the fumigation of the
high school building. but will be pub
lished in our issue of Saturday.
All Nevada boys between the ages
of 16 and 81 are to be given an
opportunity to help in war work, with
Government recognition, at the time
earning excellent pay and learning
useful trades. according to plans just
formulated by the Boys Working Re-
serve OF the department of labor, OF
which Rev. Brewster Adams of Reno
is federal state director for Nevada.
"All high school principals and en-
rollment agents of the Public Service
Reserve have been enlisted as enroll
ment officers in this fine movement,
said Mr.. Adams in Reno yesterday. "in
an attempt to reach every patriotic
boy in the state. One months inten-
sive training in agriculture, gas en-
gines and tractor operation will be
given at the University of Nevada
commencing April and running until
July /. fifty boys being handled each
month. For this course there is no
expense whatever other than board
and room at Lincoln hall, for which
special rate of s25 for the month
has been arranged.
These boys will be doing real war
work. just as surely as their big broth
ers in the trenches. Victory for our
allies depends not on arms alone. but
equally on the products of our farms.
Members of the Boys Working Re-
serve receive full Government recog-
milton, in the form of certificates and
badges of enrolment, with service
bars added on completion of farm
work through specified periods.
The movement opens very auspi-
ciously. The state board of education
has instructed each principal that full
credit shall be allowed the boys while
they are at the university. Closest
cooperation exists between the re-
serve and the state council of defense,
and the public service reserve.
Parents of Nevada boys, you must
do this little added bit You must
find this s25 to send your boys to the
university. where they will receive in
one month a course more valuable
perhaps than year of schooling. and
where they may serve their country in
its grave need. Their moral welfare
will be looked after as CAREFUL as at
home.
Nevada boys. enroll-it makes no
difference whether you are a high
school student or not This oppor-
tunity is offered to all and the appeal
comes direct from your Government"

aide OF HOOYER'S
SPEAKS OF NEEDS

f. F. Cullen, personal representa-
tive of Herbert Hoover, in a recent
three-day visit to Reno and the state
of Nevada, vividly and emphatically
impressed this state with the crying
need for saving food. How urgent il
is to satisfy the present world hunger
and the exact status of the food situ-
alton among the suffering peoples of
our allies. were presented in such a
clear pictures that all who heard him
received a lasting impression of the
great need in this present world crisis.
I'VE have already shipped our sur
plus wheat to our allies" he declared,
and we are hoping, wagering, prac-
tically gambling. that the balance
needed, 100,000.000 bushels, can be Sc
cured from the savings of the Ameri-
can people-and all within the next
four months"
Cullen laid the Generalization and
collapse of the Russian government
to two causes-the breakdown in her
food conservation methods and the
propaganda spread by German agents.
Men will resist any power but the
power of starvation" he said. Hun
ger is the final analysis, is the only
force that can weaken a nation and
demoralize ali army. Food is the
essence of strength and without per
petual supply of strength the world
can stand in danger of tottering and
falling into utter chaos. A man can
not fight, think or work is he is hun
CRY. He is at his most susceptible
stage and will take the line of least
resistance whether that line means ul-
innate ruin to him or not"
The allies today are practically
wholly dependent upon the United
States for food. Touching on the ex-
citement caused among some people
in this country when they are asked
by the food administration to substi-
tute. Cullen said: why. at times ii
seems that some of us worry more
about ourselves when we have some
slight inconvenience imposed upon US
than about our allies and soldiers.
whom we have pledged to keep sup
plled WIN 1000.
"0ne million. five hundred thousand
German troops have been released
from the east front Trainload after
trainload of them are now speeding
across the country and being emptied
out on the west front. And we know
that they are being massed opposite
that section of the line held by our
boys. The great clash is soon coming
and we must be prepared for II. The
allies, in their slow. grinding way.
have attained a superiority to the en-
emy, but the greatest and most san
culinary battle { .ong the italian and
Western fronts yet to come. And
the supply of food is the foundation
upon which the strength of our asso-
ciates rests"

TWELVE CAUGHT IN
SNOWSLIDE ON S.P.

A snowslide occurred Tuesday about
noon between Lakeview and Summit
on the Southern Pacific railroad line.
and accounts for delay in mail from
western points. The slide took out
100 feet of snowshed, carrying the
timbers to Donner Lake, 1900 feet
below, injuring three men seriously
and probably killing one other
The men had been employed shovel
ing snow from the tracks, put there
earlier in the morning by another
snowslide.
They were thus employed when the
lookout, far up the mountain, shouted
Look out, boys; here she comes"
With this warning given a few in
stants before the slide struck the
sheds where the men were working,
part of them had time to get out of
the path of the onrushing snow. The
remainder of the gangs, about twelve
men, were carried to the bottom of
the hill into Donner Lake.
One man, Paul Paulson, is probably
dead. No trace has been found of him
and as the snow is very compact it
would be impossible for him to live
under the mass which carried him
down the hill. Joe Straus, Mike Casey
and +. Olsen were the three men seri-
ously injured. The remainder of the
men rode on top of the slide the entire
distance to the bottom of the hill and
none was injured The sheds were
swept away like matches.
