BLAZE DESTROYED
GARAGE, TWO F0RDS

Another firei At 12:45 o'clock
this morning the fire bell was rung,
this time to send the truck and fire.
men to Barret street, between West
Second street and Third streets. to
combat fire in garage building
owned by A. Ruckteschler. But too
much headway had been gained and
the building was completely destroyed.
Richard Roach turned in the alarm,
he having been awakened by the
smoke and glare. When the fire
truck arrived on the scene the whole
building was afiame and nothing could
be saved. Luckily no other buildings
were near the garage, except one
small shack which was saved Rab-
bits and chickens in pens built to the
garage cried pitifully to be released
and were finally taken out by two
men who braved the heat of the fire
heroically. The rabbits and chickens
have all recovered today and only
one chicken is missing.
Two Ford automobiles were in the
burned building and constitute the
chief loss. One has been used as a
delivery car for Ruckteschler's gro
Gerry and the other was brand new
touring car. purchased by. Mr.. Ruck-
cars and the building, tools, gasoline
and oil. spare tires. etc. constituted
the loss, which was total, estimated at
from $500 to $4,000, with no insurance.
Another automobile, a Studebaker,
owned by Ruckteschler was luckily in
another garage for repairs.
How the fire started is mystery
Henry Ruckteschler said he drove one
of the Fords into the garage at $50
O'Clock last night and left immediate
lys His theory that someone was try
ing to rob the garage and dropped a
match on the oil soaked floor is
thought feasible.
His father had just given him the
old Ford and "Froggy" had spent his
savings fixing it up for personal use
completing his work of putting on
four new tires and wheels, besides
having it overhauled, only yesterday
SO Frogs" feels his loss keenly to-
day and the customary bright smile
of Winnemucca's 3S0-pound stout
boy is missing.
Fifteen minutes after the alarm
was turned in only the charred walls
of the building were left. Had the
fire started in another district with
the buildings close together another
disaster for Winnemucca would now
be history.

Frank Childress and NJ. d. Faretti

At the mines the showing is better
than on the occasion of their last visit
to the property. The miners had just
cut the true vein, the extent of which
was not known when the visitors left.
The dumps are now filled with ore
and blocking out is in progress. Mr..

ONE NIGHT OFFICER
AFTER 18TH MONTH

Dispensing with services of one
night police officer and passing of an
ordinance designating nuisances were
the principal features of meeting of
the city council held Tuesday evening
because Monday, the regular semi
monthly meeting date, was a holiday
The question of whether Winnemuc-
ca needs one or two night policemen
is one that has caused considerable
discussion. Residents across the
Southern Pacific tracks were most in
sistant, several months ago. that two
officers were needed, but so little has
occurred lately to disturb them that
they now agree the monetary saving
is desirable and consent to the re-
moval of one officer.
So on September Is the services of
Officer Delbert Baker will be dispensed
with. At the same time this order
was made it was decided to increase
the salary of officer Ben Roberts from
$125 to $40 per month. A low-priced
automobile or motorcycle will prob
ably be purchased, for use by the re-
naming officers strictly for city busi-
ness, that they may get over the city
rapidly. The councilmen explained
that the action was taken to save
money and the resolutions were
passed unanimously.
What are deemed to be nuisances
is set forth in an ordinance passed
during the session, printed in full on
page two of this issue of The Silver
State. Important in this ordinance
are the sections forbidding residents
to allow weeds to grow in or about
their premises. with fine if violated.
1t also provides that stables and ami
NAL pens must be kept clean; that
possession of slung-shots or niger
shooters, breaking of electric light
globes and allowing live stock to roam
upon city streets are all unlawful and
punishable by fine or Imprisonment.
Further action concerning installa-
ton of sidewalks was postponed be-
cause of the absence of City Engineer
Tilden. An ordinance covering side
walk widths for Winnemucca was read
for the first time and will probably be
passed later.
The application of Joseph Rougon
fire warden and superintendent oi
sewers, for an increase in salary was
laid over.

MIGHT AS WELL WAIT

Harry Warren has received a bill
for costs of $3.50 in the federal
court at Carson City in a case tried
twelve years ago. and that after hav-
ing paid all the costs charged to him
at the time. His client has long been
gone to that place where there are no
lawyers (or rather where there are
no lawsuits) and Mr.. Warren is
wondering whether he had better pay
the bill now or let it go till he sees
his client again.

OHGOSH!

Work will soon commence on the
new federal postoffice building at
Winnemucca as plans have been re-
ceived by the local postmaster. The
building will be one-story structure
of concrete, brick and terra Gotta. on
the corner of Melarkey and west
Fourth streets. Now why should
Winnemucca be given a new federal
building and Elko is ignored? There
surely is more need for a federal
building here than in Winnemucca,
and Elko should insist that her rep
resentatives in Washington get busy.

SHORTAGE Of SUGAR
CAUSED EXCITEMENT

Sugar allowances are again in ef-
feet among certain retail grocers OF
Reno by reason of the fact that the
San Francisco refiners are refusing to
book further orders.
The refiners have issued state
ment to the effect that they do not
anticipate any serious shortage, but
are rather taking the action for the
purpose of having consumers use the
stocks that have been accumulated
over the country both in the home of
the consumer and in the retail stores.
Reno retail grocers say they have
no great supply on hand and that
they have to sell only ten pounds to
customer in order to have a supply
for all their patrons.
The best crop is expected in within
three weeks when the shortage will
be entirely relieved in the West In
the East it has been acute for some
time and the arrival of st5,Ss from
Hawaii and the Philippine Islands
will hardly help on the Atlantic sea-
board though it will give tho western
country all the sugar necessary.
In Reno, one restaurant put out
sign Sugar Is Scarce. Go Easy" and
it had the effect of creating sweet
tooth in the mouth of every patron, in
the opinion of the restaurant man.

PART-T|ME SCHOOL
MADE COMPULSORY

Compulsory part-time schools are
schools for employed minors fourteen
to eighteen years of age. While em-
ployed these minors are required to
attend these schools at least four
hours each week. The following is
from the Office of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction:
Many boys and girls at the age of
fourteen leave school to seek employ
ment. The entrance of boys and girls
into regular employment is at present
largely matter of chance-the re-
suit of parents Informed ideas,
companions caprices or the pupils
whims and fancies, rather than in
telligent choice. With meager educa-
ton, little industrial intelligence and
no vocational training these minors
are ill prepared for life.
No forms of activity into which they
may go are wholly lacking in educa-
tional qualities, but in many of these
activities the opportunity for develop
ment is soon exhausted. If they could
spend part of their time in school
continuing their education they could
profitably spend the rest of their
working time in any form of industry.
Employed minors fourteen to eight
cen years of ag should be afforded
opportunities to continue their gen.
eral education; they should be helped
to make an intelligent choice of occu-
patton, and enabled to secure voca-
tional training adapted to their spe-
eial needs. The continuation school
as public educational agency per-
forms these functions.
When Schools are established with
the consent of the State Board of
Education they may be made compul-
sorry; when made compulsory all
minors fourteen to eighteen years of
age. regularly employed. must attend
these schools not less than four hours
per week, unless they are otherwise
receiving equivalent instruction. The
school sessions must come between
5 am. and pm. of working day or
days: time spent in part-time
school is reckoned as a part of the
time minors are permitted by law to
be employed; employers under penalty
of a fine must permit attendance of
minors in their employ; minors must
attend or forfeit their employment
certificates.
When approved as to organization,
control, location, equipment, courses
of study, qualification of teachers,
methods of instruction, conditions of
admission, employment of pupils and
expenditures of money. municipalities
maintaining approved part-time
schools shall receive reimbursement
from the federal-state vocational
fund to the amount of not less than
fifty per cent of the moneys expend-
ed for salaries.
These schools will accomplish the
following results:
/. Make a vital appeal to these
minors and afford them an oppor-
tunity to continue their general edu-
cation and become more intelligent
social units and more efficient
economic units.
2. Help these minors to get the
most out of their employment; prevent
drifting in industry; and save time
lost through unemployment.
3. Reduce the number of juvenile
misfits by helping these minors to
make more intelligent choice of oc-
equations; advance them from I'M
skilled trades.
4. Establish cooperative relations
and adjustments between the school
and the employers.
