The new $4,000 concrete home of
Jake Bibles about eight miles from

burned last Friday night about eight

and when the Bibles returned they
found their home in ruins.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated in the furnace room in some
unknown manner Mr.. Bibles was in
the grocery business in Lovelock for
many years, and about a year ago he
sold out and invested in a farm.
where he built the fine home. There
was very little insurance on the new
building.

A CONSPICUOUS EXAMPLE OF SUCCESS

he had the fortune he wouldn't be so happy.

fill a vacancy on the Humboldt county board, a man "out of the

DRINKING THE DRUGS

Five years ago at this time the
heir apparent to the throne Of
Austria-Hungry and his wife
were on the eve of the visit to
Sarajevo, in Bosnia, which was
to eliminate in their murder and
plunge the world into the bloodi-
est, the costliest, the most devas-
tating war in history. Itwas on
June %, 1914 that Gavrio Prinzsp
a Serbian student, aimed the shot
that was to threaten civilization
itself.
For all the happenings Of the
month that interviewed before
war began we must wait until
the Allies call to the bar of JUS
tice the men responsible flor the
great tragedy and unfold the
secret history of their activities.
The aims of this war will not
have been accomplished until
this is done; until the last remnant
of doubt of Germany's blood
guilt has been stripped from
her and she is left branded in the
eyes of future generations with
the indictment she deserves.
1t was not until the Austrian
ultimatum was made public and
we in this county were made
aware of the sinister doings of
Germany that it was believed
possible a war involving even
Europe would spring out of the
incident. Nobodyidreamed that
the United States would be
drawn into the maelstrom.
What years of anxiety and
suffering they have been.
When we look back upon them
and then turn to the shuf1ing,
the trickery, the evasions, the
whining, the unwillingness:of the
Germans to accept the edict of
sword to (which they made ap-
peal; when we recall the sort of
peace they made with Russia
and Rumania, their, treat
ment of Belgium, the penalties
they proposed to infict upon their
enemies when German victory
seemed possible, something of the

brought upon millions Eof people
