TEAM WINS
FROM GARDNERyILLE NINE

Last Sunday afternoon the baseball
team from Gardnerville and the Gen.
terville nine crossed bats on the high
school diamond in an effort to once
and for all settle the superiority of
the respective contenders. In a game
full of exciting plays, Centerville
finally nosed out on the long side of
a to 10 score. But do not imagine
it was as easy as the bare figures
indicate. for in the last half of the
ninth inning the local boys started a
batting rally which nearly resulted
in bringing home the bacon" and for
that short spell had the visitors bad
ly worried. Good material for per-
manent team is resulting from these
practice game and probably next Sun
day, the weather permitting, a game
is scheduled. after which a representa-
tive organization from this valley will
be chosen. The attendance was fairly
good last week, but larger crowd to
get behind and encourage the players
would go long way toward stabiliz-
ing the sport in this vicinity.

that the Carson Post is figuring on a
like organization. wherein those who

POPPY TO BE WORN
On MEMORIAL DAY

The poppy of Flanders field has
been chosen as the memorial flower
to be worn on Memorial Day, May
30, this year by American Legion
members and others, and in order
that the emblem should not be COM
mercialized, the flowers are to be
brought direct from the Flanders
fields, where the Americans fought
Profits from the sale of the flowers
will be given to the relief of chill
dren in devastated France. Those who
wish, in patriotic way, to under
take the sale of poppies will receive
200 poppies for each 1000 of popula-
ton and payments are to be made
after Memorial Day, when unsold pop
pies are returned, a bulletin of the
legion states. !:
Let every true American man wo-
man and child consider it sacred
obligation to wear the bright red pop
py on that day." the bulletin asks.
Let all the school children hear of
the deeds of heroism of the fallen
soldiers and ask them, as future citi-
zens, to pay homage to the gold tar
heroes"
Memorial wreaths are to- be placed
upon the graves of American soldiers
on foreign soil this year by the legion.
National Commander Galbraith has is

PRICE OF GASOLINE DROPS
) CENTS At CARSON

Carson City automobilists are now
able to buy gasoline at local service
stations and garages for thirty-five
cents per gallon. a decrease of five
cents per gallon from the price that
has prevailed for long time, accord
ing to the Carson News. Ii means
that the saving of a nickel gallon
represents a decreased profit of one
and one-half cents to the retailer, for
the price of reduction to him is only
three and one-half cents for each gall
Ion of motor fuel.
The drop in price comes at a rather
awkward time for Carson City deal
ers because they had in most cases
had their tanks refilled only a few
hours before the distributors in that
section received instructions to cut
prices. 1t was at first thought that
the new retail prices would not be
effective until Saturday, which would
give the dealers opportunity to ur-
load much of their high-cost gaso-
line, but when word of the drop was
made public all agreed to make the
five-cent cut in prices to the owners
and drivers of automobiles.
1t is clamied that the change is
possible because gasoline may now
be gotten from California, instead of
from the East.

BRUINS FIRST
OVER K|NGSBURY
LOCAL DEALER PILOTS OVER
LAND CAR IN MOST DIFFICULT
TRIP OVER UNBROKEN ROADS
TO LAKE TAHOE'S SHORES

The first automobile to reach Lake
Tahoe this season over the unbroken
roads was an Overland driven over the
kingsbury grade last Saturday by
Henry Bruins of the Brunkyle garage
of this place 1t required FIVE hours
to make the trip. and for a great part
of the distance the little car was
driven over the snow. At different
times the car would break through
the crust and would be shoveled out
and again start on its tough journey.
On the west Side of the summit the
snow in places was very soft and
heavy drifts were encountered, and on
more than one occasion the nose of
the little car was turned down the
mountain side. leaving the road and
blazing a new trail to avoid the great
drifts.
"Other machines have been given
great credit for being the first to reaen
Lake Tahoe" stated Mr.. Bruins, but
from the fact that the snow had been
shoveled from the road and practically
no obstacles were met, the trip was
of no great achievement The trip
over the Kingsbury grade was real
test on the endurance of an automo-
bile and one full of thrills for the
driver"
Mr.. Bruins, for the past several years
has been the first to drive a car over
the Alpine highway to Lake Tahoe
and has asked this paper to issue a
challenge to any agent or driver
in Nevada to follow him over this
route this spring, the time to be an
nounced later.

honors paid him. Warnings against
his going to Worms were not lacking
either. But Luther boldly declared
that If there were as many devils at
Worms as there were tiles upon the
hoa5c.ops. he would yet go there. He
through throng of admirers so great
that side streets had to be used to
reach his quarters, and that entering
he chanted the hymn, "A Mighty Fort
ress Is Our God" the hymn which
since has been called the "Marseil-
laise" of the Reformation. On the af-
ternoon of the day of his arrival. April
II. Luther was cited before the Diet.
He was asked to recant, yes or no.
Luther asked for time to consider.
The emperor thought that Luther
ought to be ready. but was persuaded
to give him "a hours The next after
noon. April is, Luther appeared and
being again asked to recant, replied
that his writings were not all of one
kind. With some of them all were
agreed, and these he, of course. could
not recant Those against the mani
fest tyranny and corruptions OF the
papacy, he could not recant without
connivance at wickedness. With re-
spect of third class directed against
individuals who had undertaken to de-
fend the papacy against his writings
he admitted that they contained sharp
attacks, but even these he stated he
could not recant indiscriminately. lest
such recantation be misrepresented as
though he had receded from his main
contention. Then he warned the EN-
oeror and the states to take into con-
sideration the evil condition of the
church, lest God should visit the en-
pire and the German nation with His
judgments. Luther was hereupon told
to give direct answer to the ques-
ton, an answer without horns. His
reply was: We'll, then, since His
Imperial Majesty wants plain ans
wer, shall give plain answer, with
out horns and teeth. Unless | be re-
futed by Scriptural testimonies, or
by clear arguments, | neither can nor
will retract anything; my conscience
is captive to Gods word, and 1t Is
neither safe nor right to go against

With this statement Luther raised
the Diet of Worms to the high emf
nence which is has held since. The
confession of the Monk of Wittenberg
became the Protestant Declaration OF
Independence in religious matters
Luther there and then insisted on the
apostolic defense that "We must obey
God rather than men," and so laid the
foundation for that freedom of cons
cience in the affairs of faith, in which
Professionalism fourished and which
constitutes one of its fairest legacies
and blessings. Luther maintained for
himself and others the right to deal
without interference directly with his
God through Jesus Christ, the only
mediator between God and man.
The quadricentennial of the Diet of
Worms, April 1918, 1921, will stand
out in history as an event of signal
blessing. If once again it emphasizes
for the church of Christ on earth, in
particular for all Professionalism, in all
parts of the world, the value and the
God-given right of individual religious

ASK THAT ROAD
Be CHANGED
NEW ROAD TO BE BUILT on WEST
SIDE OF WALKER LAKE WILL
CAUSE GREAT INCONVENIENCE
DURING THE WINTER MONTHS

Converting Topaz Lake into a stor-
age reservoir by the Walker River Ir-
rigation District will necessitate the
changing of the road. and 1t Is pro-
posed at this time to build a new road
higher on the mountain side. and from
the fact that it will mean that the
highway will traverse the snow belt
and through rough country. the peo-
pie of Carson Valley and those in
terested in highway construction in
Mono County, are circulating petitions
TO have the new road built on the east
side of the proposed reservoir, and
over level country, thus eliminating
mountain road and doing away with
all grades. The route on the east side
of the lake is favored by practically
everyone who uses the Antelope VAL
ley road and it is evident that future
greater than at the present time it is
deemed not only advisable but neces-
sary that the mountain road be aban-
doned.
The present road above the lake is
snow-bound during the winter months
whereas a new highway east of the
lake will eliminate this condition and
make possible a road that can be trav-
eled during every month of the year.
Following is the petition that is be-
ing circulated in the various COM
mnuities affected. and is being freely
signed:
Whereas, The Walker River Irriga-
tion District is building a reservoir
at Topaz Lake, and
Whereas, The present plans are to
said lake, at higher elevation. and
Whereas, 1t is understood by the pc
titioners hereto that said road is to
be a twelve-foot road, and
Whereas, The petitioners, of their
own knowledge, believe that said road
would be impossible at certain times
during the snow period. and that fur
ther, practically the entire distance
of said road is through rough coun-
try, sharp rocks. and at times would
be practically impossible by reason
of the narrowness of same and by rea-
son of the rock and debris that would
necessarily be trampled into said road
and
Whereas, A number of the petition
ers hereto are interested in Smith Val
ley and Mason Valley and in Carson
Valley. and taxpayers in the several
counties. and
Whereas, They are desirous of a
road that will be passable at all times
of the year, and a road most con-
venient to all interests.
Now, Therefore,, We. the under
signed, do petition the several Boards
of County Commissioners. and the
Walker River Irrigation District, to
abandon the road running west of
Topaz Lake. and lay out and construct
road at the most desirable location
east of Topaz Lake.
