State News From Exchanges

The Greenhouse Club of Fallon has
ordered five dozen Bob White quail
with which to stock the county as an
experiment. The birds cost the club
about $500, but it is expected that
within few years it will prove to
be good investment.
The sum of $500 was taken from a
safe in hotel conducted by Manuel
Olave in Austin last week by an un-
known thief. The safe, which was
an old-fashioned one. was broken into
by the thief with crowbar while
the proprietor and guests were at
dinner. A gold watch was also
taken.
District Attorney Castle of Elko
says that he has been notified that
the manufacturers of extracts have
decided to put their wares on the
market in new form that will con-
tain but little or no alcohol, and
which will comply with the provisions
of the prohibition law. So the house.
wife will still be able to get her cook
ing extracts.
According to information coming
from Yerington, the Thompson
smelter will close down about March
l, and mining operations of the Ma
son Valley Mines Company will be
greatly limited. owing to the un-
settled condition of the copper mar
ket. Greatly improved market con-
ditions might alter this program. it
is said. but any material increase in
copper demand is regarded as i'm
probable at this time.
The Red Cross canteens at Elko
and Montello are doing a great
work. Every train that passes
through the two towns is met by a
team of canteen workers with sand
wiches, smokes. cards and coffee.
and the soldiers and sailors are
served with variety of homemade
dainties. During the month of De-
cember 5241 were served by the two
canteens. Because of the small pop
ulation of Montello the work means
a great sacrifice for the women
workers.
7. E. Powell. District Attorney of
Humboldt County. has followed the
lead of Washoe and Elko Counties
and ruled that drug stores cannot
sell whiskey or other liquors. He
has issued orders confiscating the
stores that the druggists now have
on hand. He did not wait for the
Attorney General to issue the
promised new Interpretation because,
he said, several new drug stores"
were being planned. and he did not
wish any one to invest his money un-
der misapprehension.
A bill giving State aid to the ex-
termination of squirrels in the State

WRITES OF DEATH
OF PRIVATE sTALEY
Home Communion Service
Woman Writes Letter
From Brest.

Miss Gladys v. Nichols Of the Home
Communion Service of the Red Cross
has written letter telling Of the death
in French hospital of Stephen Lester
Staley for whom a memorial service
was recently Il held in the Methodist
church in this city. The letter follows:
Brest, March 6, 1919.-AIy Dear
Mrs. Staley: 1t is with sorrow that
write you Of the illness and death of
your son, Private Stephen L. Staley.
AS a representative Ct the Home Com
munion Service Of the American Red
Cross, and for myself personally,
I send my sympathy to all who loved
him.
December 10 your son entered the
hospital i'll Of appendicitis, for which
it was found necessary to operate.
However, his condition was not found
satisfactory and although everything
possible was done for him, his life
could not be saved and he died at l rs
p. m. January 20. For several days
before his death he was very ill and
could scarcely speak so that he left no
message for you. Miss Thompson, who
took care Of him, is an excellent nurse,
and she tells me that your son was a
very good patient, always courteous
and thoughtful, and that she worked
very hard over him. In spite of the
fact that he was very i'll, he seemed
contented and cheerful and believe he
realized he was among friends.
On January % in the A. +. F. Gene
terry at Lambezellec, where other
Americans lie, your son was buried
after the dignified military services
conducted by Chaplain sledge. At this
service an American Red Cross woman
represented the family. The soldier
escort stood at attention beside the flag
draped casket while taps sounded then
your son was left to his long rest on
the hillside overlooking the city of
Brest and the sea beyond. A white
cross bearing your sons name marks
his grave. French women keep flowers
on the graves, which are tended by our
people also, as the location is recorded
by the graves registration bureaus.
Private Staley has given his life in the
service Of his country and has won for
himself a place among her honored
sons.
Again 1 send my thoughts Of sym
pathy. If can ever be of service to
you please let me know.
Very sincerely yours,
Gladys v. Nichols.

.EXPRESSMEN HERE
ON 3 HOUR time
Get Time and a Half for Ov
ertin1e May Get
New Man.

The employees of the American Rail
way Express company in the city are
congratulating themselves that they
are now working on the new eight
llonr-day schedule, the new ruling hav.
ing become effective May 1.
This does not mean, so far, that they
are putting in less hours. No, indeed
1t merely means that a working day is
now eight lonls, whereas formerly il
was ten hours, and even though they
are working the longer period they are
drawing time and a half overtime for
the additional two hours.
/. f. Adams, the local agent, doubts
the continuance Of this plan, however,
but as yet no provision has been made
to alter it. He believes the government
in due time will put on an additional
man, carrying out the intent of the
eight-hour law. This is the cheapest
solution of the local situation for the
company, he says.
