In the affirmative which was to the ex-
tent that the treatment given by Or.
Thompson was proper
DR. Morrison of Reno was also given
the question and answered as had the

GOVERNMENT
TO SELL FOODS

The price lists for army food sup
plies which are to be sold direct to
the public through the post offices
will be sent 10 the postmasters
throughout the country at once and
will be available for consumers on
August Is according to announce
ment from the post office and army
authorities.
Whether a certain amount of army
supplies will be allotted to each city
or whether consumers will order
through the postoffice and the supplies
will be shipped from San Francisco is
not known definitely, but the an
nouncement that the parcel post
weight limit had been increased to 150
pounds is taken by officials to indicate
that the food is to be shipped by parcel
post to each consumer from the nearest
supply point.
The sale of the army supplies is
expected to bring down prices on
some commodities. according to gov
ernment officials, but every pre-
caution is being taken to keep the
supplies from falling into the hands
of a few persons who would profiteer
ON them.
Special agents of the department of
justice are cooperating with the
United States Attorney at Reno in the
government campaign to punish food
hoarders. and though it is not ex-
pected that any boarded food will be
found in Nevada the campaign will be
a thorough one.

department Of justice in Reno, is work
ing with United States Attorney Wood

A NEW MAN FOR NEVADA

Sunday evening at st. Lukes Luth-
eran Church. Reno. will be the scene
OF the ordination of Rev. C. II. Schaaf
to the Christian ministry About 13
years ago there was but one Lutheran
pastor in the Nevada field. Rev. f. H.
Menzel of Gardnervile. Besides his
abundance of work in the local con-
gregation he made monthly trips to
Reno. Soon the work in and about
Reno assumed such dimensions that
the Mission Board of the California
and Nevada district of the Lutheran
Church had to place a second man
into the field. About eleven years
ago Rev. F. e. Martens took charge of
the work in Reno As a result of the
Missionary work attended to besides
the regular work the two men now
holding down Lutheran church work
in the State number of mission posts
were organized The work again in
creased beyond the limits of their
ability to serve all places properly
and again the Mission Board was ur-
gently asked to provide more help
The Board provided another worker in
calling Rev. Wald. f. Menzel. Rev.
Menzel residing at Fallon took care of
Winnemucca. Lovelock, Fernley. Tono-
pah. Goldfield. Wabuska and conducted
occasional services at other places.
Due to a rapid expansion of the work
la fourth man has been called namely
