new SWEET ARISES
TO REPLACE SUGAR

No matter whether there Is an
actual sugar shortage. or whether
the assertion OF the refiners that the
supply is merely dislocated" is cor
rect, the American people can obtain
a substitute that really and truly Is
Just as good" IL was pointed out by
Government experts here today.
Malt sugar syrup Is brand-new
sweet which has arrived on a COM
mercial scala at the psychological mo-
ment to relieve the apparent sugar
scarcity, say specialists in the Bureau
OF Chemistry of the Department of
Agriculture.
Malt sugar has long been known to
chemists, but it's output on a CONNER
cial scale is only beginning. Two
factors have stimulated It's produc-
ton recently The shortage of sugar
has developed n market Cor il, and
the recent prohibition law has made
available both the raw material and
the machinery needed for it's manu-
facture. Malt sugar syrup Is made
from the same grains as beer, and
may be made from any plant contain
ing starch. Breweries. with very lit
tie change, can be used and are being
used for its manufacture.
Malt sugar syrup looks very much
like maple syrup. It is said il can be
used for everything for which cane
sugar Is needed. For cooking and
baking purposes and for making
candy It Is not only equal to sugar in
fconvenience and food value, but is
superior for some uses, because 1t will
not crystallize so readily.

The pastor DR.. c. H. Berry will

consist of solos, Duets, mixed quar-

LOCAL ALFALFA MILL TO
BEGIN OPERATIONS SOON
Mechanics Now Installing Additional
Machinery and Mill Expected to
BE Ready Soon

The directors of the alfalfa mil
built last year with a view OF begin
ming operations Immediately are ac-
lively engaged in such additions to
the machinery as will undoubtedly
bring Joy to the ranehers of the val
ley.
Influenced by the depression OF
the farmers during the last two
months on account OF the contraction
of the hay market and a marked de
cline in price of alfalfa the board
of directors of the mill decided re-
Gently to take prompt action to re-
lieve the situation that was consid-
cred by many as serious.
Mechanics are now engaged in the
installation of a transformer and the
company feel that in a very short
time the mill will be ready to re-
ceive the output of the farmer.
There is little doubt that eventu-
ally this is to prove of great value
to the farmers of the valley as pro-
viding another avenue for the dis
posal of their crop and as the mar
ket for alfalfa meal is unlimited
there is no occasion for further con-
Germ for buyers. Other products
will be milled by this company and
there is held the belief that the meal
produced at this mill will find a
ready market by virtue of its superb
ority and a uniformity that cannot
be claimed by the California crop
The alfalfa meal industry has
grown during the past few years in
California wonderfully and several
mills have been established in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys
that have proven to be in every in
since income producing properties
and IL is predicted that in a few
years the local mill will be forced to
enlarge its plant to meet the de-
mands of the farmers.

aggregation assures one of the most
exciting games of the season next
Saturday night in the Higb School
auditorium.
The affair is for the benefit of the

self is sufficient inducement to at

ther fact that the local team is COM
posed of the star players of this sec
tion assures the spectators of an
evening full of interest.
This team includes such we'll
known players as West, Stuver. Dud-
ley, who were of the team that in
fiicted such heavy punishment on the
High School team two weeks ago.
The Lovelock team is also COM
posed of the pick of that town and
have heretofore outplayed the best
teams pitted against them.
The game will be followed by
dance for which the Jewett orches-

The committee on Armenian-Re-

from this affair will contribute
largely to the fund of the oppressed

SUDDEN DEATH OF SON OF
AUNT FANNIE PAINTER

The visit of Mrs. Fannie Painter
to San Francisco for a holiday vaca-
tion was most unhappily terminated
as ON New Years day a telephone
message to her hotel announced the
death of her son L. |. Painter for
many years Field Manager for the
Avery Tractor Company.
The announcement came as a
shock as on the previous evening
plans had been made by the young
man to take his mother and family
on long auto ride in the country.
Death followed an illness of but a
few hours and was caused by an at
tack of acute indigestion.
Deceased was 80 years of age and
in addition to his father and mother
is survived by his widow and young
son, age seven years.
