Don't Change
Husbands at Rex

That it isn't good idea to change
husbands without genuine considera-
tion, which cannot be thing of a
moment. is the advice of the picture
Don't Change Your Husband" pro-
duced by Cell b. DeMille for Aircraft
and which is scheduled to be shown at
the Rex Theatre Sunday night.
Jeanie Macpherson is the author and
she has woven tale of really beautf-
full character, and into the warp and
woof has introduced a thread of Or
iental mysticism that is distinctly eff
fective.
Gloria Swanson is the leading fem
mime figure and her work is said to be
exquisite, while she is certainly one
of the most beautiful women on the
screen today. Tlliott Dexter and
Lewis Cody play the leading male
roles do so with real artistry.
For picture out of the ordinary
iii every respect, Don't Change Your
Husband can be strongly recon-
mended.

SOLDIERS HOP
SATURDAY NIGHT.

Saturday night at Rex Theatre the
members of Carson Valley post of the
American Legion will give a big dance
in memory of the birth of George
Washington, first president of the
United States.
The midnight supper is to be served
by American Legion members in the
Odd Fellow dinning hall and while no
announcement has been made regard
ing the bill of fare. it has been limited
that a real honest-to-goodness Army
meal will be served. Not the kind that
the boys received in France. but the
kind the officers received while sta
toned In the United States. 1t will be
real "chow" however. and you will
miss the feed of your life IL you fail
to attend.
The music for the dance will be
furnished by the Baker orchestra.

One Summit On
State Highway

Notifications from Washington that
the plans for the state highway around
the west side OF Walker Lake have
been approved resulted In the state de-
partment of highways announcing yes
terday that bids for that piece of road
will be advertised for at once and will
be opened on March /. The bids will
be opened at the highway department
headquarters in Carson at lao o'clock
that day and no bids will be received
after twelve o'clock on that day.
The department estimates on the
cost OF construction of the strip of
road are being prepared and 1t is
hoped will be ready to permit the ad-
vertisement for bids being not later
than Saturday.
The road is approximately ten miles
in length and much Of 1t will be cut
out OF the solid rock. 1t is the link
in the state highway connecting west
ern and southern Nevada. C. c. Cot
trell, state highway engineer, says he
expects many bids for the job. in
quiries about having been received
from many sources. 1t will be one Of
the biggest single contracts yet to be
let by the department. The entire
piece of road is in Mineral county.
The original high line survey has
been abandoned and the lower of lake
shore line is to be followed In a
number of places 1t has been found
necessary to use bracket bridges,
while number of overhanging
trestles are to be erected. The 10 miles
that is to be opened for bids will be
along the section of the highway call
ing for the most careful engineering
and construction. All bridge work
and trestles are to be set on cement
foundations while drainage is to be
provided at the approach of al, the
deep canyons. All this work is prac-
tically finished In detail.
The finishing of this road will make
1t possible to drive from Reno to To-
nopah with but one summit, that at
Carriers, few miles east of Gardner
vile. In fact this will be the one
summit between Reno and the Colo
rado river.

LAHONTAN
RESERVOIR is
BEING FILLED

The great I.ahontan reservoir sup
pying the Fallon unit of the New
lnds roject is being rapidly filled with
water for 1920 irrigation ues. Just
now 10000 acre feet of water are on
hand and the fhll capacity of the res
eroir of 100000 acre feet will have
attained long before the seasonal run
offs of the Carson and Truckee water
sheds have been comleted for this
year. Just now the greater part of
the intake is coming from the Truckee.
the flow from there being at the rate
of about 300 cubic feet while the Car
son rier is discharging only about one
half this amount.
1t Is characteristic of the Carson
that 1t pours when 1t gives forth its
yearly flood while the runoff from the
territory that feeds the Truckee is
more constant.
Considerable additional storage
facilities are to be added to the La
hontan reservoir by the addition of
four feet of retaining wall on the
crest of the dam structure, this to
provide power possibilities for the big
hydro-electric plant below the dam.
formerly served exclusively by the
waters from the Truckee canal Lake
Tahoe difficulties and the shortage of
water last season which threatened
the electric service for this project
formed the incentives for the innova-
tion.
Thus it will be seen that while
other irrigated districts of the west
face with more than an ordinary de-
gree of certitude and acute shortage of
water for crop irrigation this summer.
the Newlands project lands are as
sured the usual ample supply of life
now. enough water to care for the ac-
tual irrigation needs of the territory
served from the Lahontan reservoir,
allowing a due amount for wastage
and evaporation throughout the irriga-
tion eriod.
With an annual supply of irriga-
tion water assured for the increasing
demands for lands here as the con-
dition becomes to be understood

NO SNOW IN
LAKE VALLEY.

T. S. Fox owner of the Stateline
Resort at Lake Tahoe informs the
Record-Courier that snow in Lake Val
ley has almost entirely disappeared,
very unusual condition for the month
of February. 1t is also reported that
less than three feet of snow is on the
second summit of the Sierra Nevada
mountains.
Under normal conditions there
should be at least four feet of snow
in Lake Valley at this time, and the
news as given by Mr.. Fox is most dis
couraging the farmers and stockmen
Of this section. The extreme shortage
OF snow in Lake Valley indicates that
like conditions exists in the water
shed of the Carson river, and while
there is yet time for heavy storms,
the lateness OF the season will be re-
sponsible for heavy spring run-off.
should storms come during the last of
February or March. and will not be as
beneficial to the farmers and stockmen
as the early storms.
In 1S89-90 the heavy snow fell in
March and other record storms have
occurred during late in the season. and
farmers are anxious to see big storm
come, even though late in the year.

Memorial Service
Here Sunday

At the Rex theatre Sunday after
noon the American Legion will con-
duct a memorial service in memory OF
the Douglas county boys who fell in
battle during the worlds war. At this
time a memorial certificate given by
the French government will be pre-
sented to the nearest relative of the
fallen heroes. The French govern
ment took up this matter with United
States officials and the later deemed
it fitting that such presentations be
done through the American Legion.
The date for holding the ceremonies
was set for Washington's birthday,
February 22nd. and on that date in
nearly every town and city through
out the United States the American
Legion will hold these ceremonies.
The public is cordially invited to be
present at the Rex theatre Sunday af-
ternoon at o'clock.

Former Student
Writes Play

Unique is the word that char
atizes the light opera Aye. Aye Sir
which was written by Robert Ames
who attended Douglas High last year
Not only did Robert Ames originate
the clever plot. compose the lyrics, and
write the dialogue, but he also de-
signed the scenery and constituted a
large part of the play himself.
Rolicking melody and fun hold high
carnival from the opening chorus to
the grand final.
The story is laid aboard the ship
Sally Lue" sailing from Hawaiia to
the United States. II deals with the
troubles of Jane Pattnlo. an aristo-
cratic passenger and Jack. a stow
away with whom she has fallen In
love. In the end wireless message
discloses the identy OF the stowaway
and the captain reports. "The weather
lis fine OF the ocean free" and he
thinks of the lovers "are very Hapee.
The opera contains many beautiful
songs. the dialogue is exceptionally
fine. and the plot is very well carried
out. The atmosphere created is per-
feet and the romance and witchery ol
the tropics cast spell over all.
San Jose high is very proud of this
production and its author, Douglas
is pround OF the fact that Robert Ames
attended their school and It feels that
a little of the credit 1t due to them
being that he attended this school dur.
ling his Junior year.

HIGH PRICES
DUE FOR FALL

A reaction which will depress prices
and cause a general decrease on busi-
ness In. the country was predicted by
c. +. Burton, secretry of the Wingfield
companies, in talk to the members
Of the Rotary Club today, in which he
showed that every time prices have
attained an abnormal and inflated con-
dition, as they have today there has
either been panic, causing a quick
depression, or a gradual decrease until
an abnormal low point is reached.
"Phe merchants of the country have
less goods on their shelves today than
they had in 1914. but their investment
is greater" he said. This forces the
merchant to charge higher prices and
because of the lack of production now
this condition may obtain for some
time.
This federal reserve system of the
country has stretched It's money to a
point where 1t cannot be stretched
much further and even now. with a
gold reserve of fifty cents for every
dollar of currency issued. the margin
Is too small to care for the financiel
structure of the country In case of a
panic.
THE condition may be iikened TO an
overinfiated balloon. A small pin
prick will cause 1t TO collapse at once
and the failure of big company. as In
the case of the Knickerbocker Trust
Company In 1907, would do the trick
now. We are hoping this will not be
the case but that the reaction will be
gradual and the gas drawn of slowly.
I'VE nearly had panic In November
because OF the drop In foreign e.
change. The federal reserve system
came to the rescue then but 1t will not
do 1t any more and has raised its ex-
change interest rate to force down the
speculation in stocks. This makes
money more expensive and is forcing
down speculation.
THE business man of today should
not gamble in commodities but should
purchase just enough to care for his
trade for eight months or a year in
advance andw hen the depression does
come he will be secure"

Judge Harrington
May Seek Office

The following appeared in a colum
of political dope" in a recent issue
of the Flo Free Press:
Next in discussion comes the SEN
atorial fight in Nevada And the in
terest centers on whom the republi-
cans will select to carry their banner
The man most talked about here in
whom rumor says will be the republi-
can nominee. 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that Senator Henderson will
be the choice of the democratic party,
and the fact that Judge Harrington
is also from Elko county makes the
fight more interesting TO the people
here who contend that Elko county
should have the honor of furnishing
the United States Senator, from the
fact that she pays the larger portion
of the states expenses, being the rich
est county in the state
Judge Harrington has been identi-
fed with Elko county for more than
thirtyfour years, and is held In high
esteem, not only in his own home
county but throughout the entire
state. He located here when but a
young man. in 1886 and built up a
lucrative law practise. He was ap-
pointed U. S. district judge by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1907, and has made
an enviable record for himself on the

the nomination for United States SEN
ator, and will make an active fight
