LOVELOCK VALLEY ASSURED
PLENTY OF RIVER WATER

The headgates of the Humboldt,
Loyelock Irrigation. Light & Power
Company reservoir were closed down
Sunday when it reached its capacity
of approximately $1,000 acre feet Of
storage water. The closing of the
headgates made no perceptible change
In the flow of water in the Humboldt
river, which has been gradually low
ering the past few weeks.
According to William C. Pitt, who
is familiar with the irrigation situa-
ton in the Lovelock valley, there is
sufficient water in the Humboldt to
irrigate the second crop of alfalfa,
with little likelihood that it will be
necessary to draw from the reservoir
water this year.

CALoRIEs.

A week ago we were talking
about calories and their value as a
unit of measure. The woman who
Is reducing, or for that matter the
woman who is building herself up,
wants to know specifically how
many calories of food she should
eat every day. Then when she
knows the actual caloric value of
the food she Is eating the whole
thing is as easy as the simplest
sort of arithmetic. Generally
speaking
A child, Q years to 6, requires
1000 to 1900 calories of food daily.
A child, years to IL. requires
1900 to $500 calories of food daily.
A youth. IL years to Is, requires
$500 to 5000 calories of food daily.
An adult woman requires 1900
to 5000 calories of food daily, de-
pending upon the activity of the
woman.
An adult man requires 1000 to
1000 calories of food daily. de-
pending upon the activity of the
man.
It is quite possible to find out
exactly the number of calories OF
food that you require every day
During the war the government
brought out a number of these bull
letins, which, think, are still
available from the department OF
agriculture.
1t is also possible to find out ex-
actly the number of calories you
need by an arithmetical process
but as this is a little more com.
plicated I will talk about it later

study this subject you will find II

say when I looked upon Junior
asleep in his crib, mother must
take you to him." and because of
the thought I worked harder than
ever. Perhaps IL could manage
to take Junior, Dick would get
well more quickly.
So l worked and planned for
| long weary months. Then one day
with $4,000 to my credit in the
bank, and money enough to take
me and Junior to Dick, closed
the shop and started for Califor-
mia.
Dick had moved about consid-
erably at the advice of a physician
Doctor Hill had recommended. He
was now in Atolia, on the desert.
1 had no idea what sort of place
1t was, and left Los Angeles full of
excitement, of Joy at the thought
of being with him again. But
when after reaching the nearest
station we were driven several
miles to the place. I wondered
how Dick had managed to five, it
seemed so lonely a place to me.
There had been wonderful
tungsten mines opened Up before
the war, only to be closed down
because of lack of demand. 1t
was indescribably lonely and lone
some when we arrived. The drug
store and post office combined
gave us directions where we could
find Dick.
He was so brown that at first
he looked a remarkably healthy
man when compared to the thin,
emaciated, white-faced Dick who
had left Lansing months before.
But after a bit I saw it was but
the brown Of the desert, and SO
misleading.
His JOY at seeing us was pa
thetic.
| ''Daddie didn't expect to see
you!" he said as he Rugged Junior
to his breast as If never intending
to let him go.
IT come to see you, daddie,
mother bringed me-" Junior told
him as he cuddled close.
Mother brings everything that
is good to me-" Dick said musing-
ly, making me feel like crying:
| II have only brought evil to you,
my dear" but knowing 1t would
i distress him, ] did not say it, yet
felt 1t in all its poignancy.

NAN STRUGGLES ALONE.
CHAPTER 90.

CHAPTER 80.
After Dick left l gave way TO
such an extent that had 1t not
been for mother, who came over
to bid him goodbye, l should have
collapsed, but she kept telling me
I must be brave for his sake, that
he now denended upon me, and
that if I failed him he would sure
ly die.
So took up the struggle for all
of US, Dick, Junior and myself, be-
cause there was no one else to
whom we could turn. Mother
loved US, was willing to do all she
could, but she had only enough to
live on, and 80 was unable to help
us financially. l knew If could
make enough to go to Dick that
Junior would be safe with her,
that he would receive the best of
care. But beyond that she could
not help me. So / tried to put my
grief, my fears, away and attend
to my business.
But In spite of all my efforts 1t
was many days before I could do
my work in the same old way
had used to do it when Dick was
at home. Thoughts of him. fears
for him, constantly obtruded be-
tween me and the tasks / set my
self. 1t was only by saying con-
stantly: ut is for him." that I was
able to accomplish anything. But
gradually I saw the futility of this
and determinedly set myself to do
what I had to do, give every
thought, every moment, every bit
of my strength to making money
enough to cure my husband.
Orders poured in upon me. ]
sometimes thought If there were
As instead of "a hours in. a day ]
would not have time enough to
take care of them. I raised my
prices, but because l did better
work than the other shops 1t made
40 difference-people still gave
me their orders.
Dick wrote every day, sometimes
eheerfully, always hopefully. Blu,
I could read between the lines and
I knew he was lonely, wanted me
yet would not say so. never
failed to tell him that / would soon
be able to come to him, yet his ex-
penses, only necessary ones, added
to the cost of living for Junior and
me, was about all l could manage
At times l felt as II my heart
would break. I wanted so to &C
to him, to comfort him, to feel his
arms about my neck, his kisses or
my lips. But he must remain
there, and if he did I must con.
serve all my strength to work fol-
him.
So I struggled on. Hopeless al
times, hopeful at others. But al.
ways with that feeling of response.
bility for all that had happened
which was a goad whipping me or
whenever my spirit failed.
I worked so hard that I slept
from sheer WEAKNESS of body
That was my salvation. It enabled
me TO go on day after day ever
when the agony Of spirit wa.
mot poignant.
From Dicks letters knew hi
grievcd for Junior only less thar
for me. 1t spurred me to greater
eXnrtions. I would take the BIO,
with me, instead of leaving hin
with mother as I had intended
Perhaps his childish prattle, hi,
Joyousness, was what Dick need
ed. But this meant still more
money. And although mother
tried to dissuade me, once the ides
came to me 1t would not down.

experience to her new position and
in addition intense enthusiasm.
1t is perhaps woman's enthusi-

the worth while position she now

enthusiasm which men scott at
