Not as puzzling as it seems: New
York state finds that, out of every
100 of its children, forty-eight are
physically normal in cities and only
twenty-seven in rural districts. 9th
ers have defects. The city lad, deni-
ed the fresh air and big Fairgrounds
and peace of the country, maybe is
healthier than his country cousin be-
cause he has better medical and
physical attention in youth, especially
babyhood. But he also has what's a
good deal worse than physical all
ments-more nervous maladies than
the farm boy. They "get" him later
in life.

into this field offered to buy the
Douglas bank, but Mr.. Jensen felt
that the local institution could be
made of more real benefit to the
community if a strong company of
local people would consider the pur-
chase of the bank. E. Christensen,
Frank R. Howard, James E. Hickey
and Chris Neddenriep, took the mat
ter of organization in hand and last
Saturday succeeded in selling prac-
tically the entire $50 shares of stock
at their par value of $100 per share.
The stockholders of the newly
formed banking institution met Mon
day evening and after accepting the
designations of the old directors,
elected new board composed of E.
Christensen, J. A. Dettling and VIM.
Neddenriep. The directors in turn
met and organized, selecting VIM.
Neddenriep as president; ]. A. Det-
ting as first vice-president and E.
Christensen second vice presi-
dent. The first official act of the
new board of directors was to elect
Grant H. March as cashier, a posi-
tion which he has held since the res
ignation of H. H. Boone, several
months ago.
While the deposits of the Douglas
bank are not as large as they will be
in time to come, stockholders report
that at the close of business Monday
night sight exchange and cash on
hand totaled 38 per cent of the total
deposits, considerably over one hund-
red greater than is demanded by the
state banking board. The securities
held by the bank are first-class and
the institution starts off under new
ownership in a most encouraging con-
dition.
At the meeting Monday night the
stockholders passed a resolution in
creasing the number of board of di-
rctors from three to five. Before this
can be done, however, it must be
passed on by the state banking
board.
Carson Valley was without bank
ing facilities a great many years and
finally the BUSINESS of some of the
local concerns got so large that some
thing had to be done to clear the
qffualities of paper that were COM
ing into the community.
At that time Mr.. Jensen was en-
gagged in the general merchandise
business here, and was carrying on
banking business as well, inasmuch
as he paid out all money for milk
for the old Douglas creamery. He
finally organized the Douglas County
Bank, in a room adjoining the store,
f. Christensen being installed as
cashier. The bank flourished and
short timel ater Mr.. Jense sold
his store to the C. H. Eaton COM
pany. He then built brick home for
the bank and devoted much of his
time to its conduct. In 1907 when
the panic came, the Douglas bank, in
anticipation of coming events, had
60 per cent of its entire deposits in
cash in the vaults. Every one re-
members the numerous bank failures
that occurred in Nevada at that time,
and they also remember the enviable
reputation gained by the Douglas
Bank during those troublesome times.
In 1909 the bank was incorporated

|FUME STATIONS
ARE CLOSED UP
All Restriction are Removed
and Auto Travel No
Longer Hampered

Fumigation of automobiles at the
various stations established on the
California line by Nevada to prevent
the spread of the foot and mouth di-
sease to this state, was abolished
Tuesday night. DIR. Record, head of
the Nevada quarantine was in Gard
neryille Wednesday and reported to
DR.. Baker, local veterinarian, that
all of the Nevada stations had been
closed up as far as fumigation of
automobiles or passengers were con-
cerned, and tourists can now enter
Nevada over and of the highways
without the necessity of having their
automobiles sprayed with sheep dip.
The rules relative of the entry of
livestock to Nevada from California
remain the same and no live stock
can be broungt over the line from
California without inspection and
proper certificates.
The fumigation stations are to be
dismantled as soon as possible but
for the time being a check will be
kept on automobiles, and possibly
those from recently infected districts
of California will be sprayed.
Laborers coming into Carson Val
ley as well as stockmen, will be de-
MED the privilege of visiting ranches
until they have been disinfected at
the Minden plant which will continue
in operation for the this purpose and
will be under the supervision of DR..
Baker. Farmers will continue to
maintain a personal quarantine on
their properties until such time as
deemed no longer necessary.
The fact that the quarantine sta
tions have been discontinued, will be
hailed with delight by the autoists
of this section as well as the tourists
from California and other states

THE AWAKENING
OF MINERAL AGE
BY E. CHAPLIN GARD

The world is awakening; the shad-
ows are dissolving; the splendor
dawn of new day salutes the race
with a message from Master Mind,
and a command to strenuous action
and glorious achievement.
Mining must again feature premier
in the realm of industry. The day is
far distant when mineral will cease
to function as the foundation of civil
ization.
Will the miracle accomplishments
of science have crumbled creeds and
wrought a new, a rational religion,
they have likewise multiplied the de-
sential to practical evolution in COM
merce, industry, invention and all
departments of the arts and sciences.
The necessity for copper alone is be-
yond concise conjecture, and its i'm
portance constantly increasing.
One gallon of the new war gas
would destroy city and rapidly dis
integrate all mineral with which it
comes in contact. In its terrific
clutch chilled steel is quickly reduced
to mass as soft as putty.
We not only need, but must mine
and conserve every pound of earth's
available mineral, while Mind is
busy mastering the secret alchemy of
of metals from gases-yea from the
mighty void embracing boundless
space.
Radio rings a requiem to baseless
doctrines, superstions and fanati-
cism, chants solemn Te Demu
Laudamus at the bier of ancient
isms and alien ideals, and sounds a
holy anthem to the Most High for
this latest manifestation of the
cosmic mind.
We are out of this rut, and off and
away to the far fields and exalted
planes of space revealed to our
understanding by scientific research.
And we only conceive the initiative
of the awakening that bids sluggish
world arise from the ruins of centu-
ries and speed to heights that glitter
as gold.
One day the Pine Nut Range will
startle the race with its marvellous
mineral deposits.

TOM MIX AT REX
SUNDAY NIGHT

"When your dog don't know you,
you're sure in tough," commented
Tom Mix, when making his latest
production, "Soft Boiled" to be seen
at Rex theatre Sunday night.
Playing the role of a shoe clerk,
Mr.. Mix found it necessary to wear
an ill-fitting suit of pepper and salt
pattern, heavy horn-rimmed glasses
and to part his hair in. the middle.
Never before in his long career, had
the great western hero of the screen
looked so funny. 1t was at this june
ture that Duke" big Dane pet of
Tom, walked on to the set Tom
Whistled.
Duke" picked up his ears at the
familiar sound and looked around to
find his master, but he saw no Tom
Mix that he knew. Twice Tom called
to the dog. Duke looked curiously
at the bespectacled person and walk
ed away. Mix approached the dog
again, calling him, but "Duke" only
growled, showed his big yellow teeth
and backed into a corner. Then Tom
went over and grabbed the animal by
the collar.
Refusing to trust his sight and re-
lying, dog-fashion upon his sense of
smell "Duke" shifted a couple of
times at the strange person who ac-
costed him in such familiar terms.
Then, and then only, did his nose
tell Duke" that this odd appareled
Individual was Tom. The dog wag-
ged his tail in a half friendly fash
ion and returned to his corner and
,,nada hin, Sa1f com fort bla
Apparently, the dog recognized the
stranger as Tom, but he was not the
Tom Mix of big hat, boots and spurs
with whom Duke" usually associated
and he was suspicious. The dog then
decided to wait until Mr.. Mix found
time to change his clothes

NEVADA HAY
NEEDED AT Home

"Nevada hay should be kept within
the borders of this state for an out
side market this year may not be
needed and livestock in the Western
counties should be given first con-
siderattion," says L. f. Cline, gov
ernment dairy specialist stationed at
Fallon. He has been keeping close
tab in the production of feeds in
Western Nevada, quarantine meas
ures, and probable demands for local
live stock, says the Gazette.
$50 far as the Newlands project is
concerned" he said, sit looks like the
very thing for which we have been
looking for the past four years-the
alfalfa weevil and the attendant
quarantine. Fortunately for us here
to come along with a chain of other
circumstances that makes it easier to
take than was anticipated, and at the
same time help our neighbors."
Fallon, with the only probable quar-
antine of surplus hay, should hold
her supply for the protection of near
by sections where it will be needed
because of a short supply this year,
it was pointed out.
"While there Is prospect" Mr..
Cline resumed, that California will
pehmit hay from Fallon to move
to her markets this season, those in
closest touch with the situation feel
that little encouragement has been
given. Although this valley may be
permanently cut off from the Cali
fornia hay market, we have little fear
in the way of market shortage this
year.
1--WE have more surplus hay in sight
in this valley than in any other dis
trict in radius of two hundred miles
and even our surplus is matter
Of speculation. In fact it is not GER
tain but that we will jeopradise our
own live stock development by SELL
ing hay from the Newlands project
until we have theentire season crop
in the stack--until we should have
some idea of the prospects for ir-
rigation water next year.

PLENTY WATER
AT LOVEL0CK

John A. Runner, assistant state
engineer in charge of Humboldt river
diversion, states that although the
Humboldt river is yielding but bare
l25 inches of water at the several
points of diversion in the Upper
Lovelock Valley, that there will be
no marked shortage in farm crops in
the Lovelock area when the next
harvest is analysed in an aggregate
sense. Diversion in now being made
from the two reservoirs in the Hum
boldt vicinity owned by the Hum
boldt-Lovelock irrigation, light and
power company, to the amount of
1000 inches and substantial number
of farmers are now applying water
to their alfalfa acreage as aftermath
of harvesting the first crop. There
remains in storage at Humboldt ap-
proxiimately 100000 acre feet on
hand at the outset of the irrigation
season and with this diminished sup
ply it is believed by Mr.. Runner that
very substantial second alfalfa cut
ting will be secured, gardens matur-
ed and all others of the usual pur-
pose served.
Ii Is declared lnat lne oo,ooo aei Z
feet of water impounded at Humboldt
during last winter have saved more
in Lovelock Valley crop value during
the present year than the reservoirs
cost several years ago to give empha-
siss to the vitalness of the scheme
now fairly afoot to as fully utilize
water resources backing this valley
as to make even crop shortage an
impossibility throughout the future

on the Eastern shore of Lake Tahoe,
connecting with the Tahoe line of the
United Farmers Telephone and Tele-
graph company. The new line was
erected under the supervision of
Carol Haugner, wire chief for the
local company and is part of the
system of the Farmers company.
Skyland Camp is being literally pat
ronized and at this time there is a
large number of boys from California
cities at the place. Added improve
ments at the camp are being rapidly
completed and the institution is now

INDIAN KILLED
in AUTO SMASH
Driver Goes to Sleep and Car
is Ditched With Fatal
Results

Jack Dick, an Indian sometimes
known at "Two-Bits" was crushed to
death beneath an overturned automo-
bile four miles north of Minden Sun
day afternon. Three other Indians,
occupants of the automobile at the
time of the accident, escaped from the
wreck uninjured.
The four Indians, driving a Hup-
mobile car, had spent the day in
Reno and were returning to their
homes in this valley. According to
their testimony at the coroners' in
quest held Monday night, they were
not certain what caused the accident.
They had been sleeping in the home
ward journey, and probably the driv-
er also fell asleep. After passing
the road leading to Genoa, the auto
noble hit pile of sand along side
of the highway, dashing over Sec
ond pile, a wheel broke and the car
overturned into the ditch. Jack Dick
was on the seat with the Indian
driver. 1t is evident that when the
Windshield was mashed, glass and
part of the frame, strlck him in the
mouth and tore an ugly wound, rip
ping open his juglar vein.
Freeing themselves from the wreck,
the three Indians raised the ma
chine sufficiently to release their in
jured companion. He was uncon-
scious and was probably dead when
taken from beneath the car.
VIM. Smith of Minden happened
along shortly after the accident, stop
ping to give any assistance possible
He did not smell liquor on the In
dians and he felt reasonably certain
that they had not been drinking.
James Stuard, in charge of the
quarantine station at Clear Creek,
was on his way home. The Indians
passed the station just shortly before
he closed the station for the day. He
picked up the dead man in his auto
mobile and brought the remains to
the undertaking parlors at this place.
The victim of this accident had
been employed by County Commits
sioner, David L. Jones for some
time and was an industrious hard
working man.
The little court room where the
inquest was held Monday evening,
oyerfowed with tribesmen of the
dead Indian. Some of the Indians, it
is reported, believed that Jack Dick
had been killed in a fight with his
companions at Reno, but testimony
went to show that he was killed
when the car turned over.

LUTHERAN SERMONS
TO BE CHANGED

The office of the Gospel ministry
was instituted by God for the pro-
clamation of His Word and the saliva
ton of man. Are ministers there
fore at liberty to preach and prac-
tice as they please? Does it belong
to the office of the preacher to fiat
ter people and seek honor and popu-
larity with men? What has God to
say of those preachers "of whom all
men speak well ?" Are pulpits built
for the proclamation of high sound
ing words of mans wisdom, poetic
deliverances, flattering and pleasing
discourses, or for the preaching of
Gods Word to men? If the latter
is true, has the preacher the privi-
lege to abuse and rail at people and
pronounce harsh judgments?
And if the minister's calling is that
of laying the Word of God before
the people, what sacred duty de-
wolves upon the hearers? Or have
hearers the privilege of accepting
or rejecting what they hear from the
Word of their God? Should not q
man have liberty in these things?
All these questions and more will
be discussed Sunday morning al
1890 o'clock. The Sunday School
meets at 9:30. The quarterly meet.
ing of the voting members will be
held after the services.
There will be no services Sunday

the district convention in Pasadena
Should his presence be needed dur
ing his absence, kindly apply immed
lately to the secretary of the church
Mr.. VIM. Wennhold.

nounced soon.

YOUNG MAN DROWNED
in LAKE TAHOE

Seized with cramps while he was
swimming with a boy of six on his
shoulders, Ralph Dayton, "a, an
employe of the Meeks Bay camp at
Lake Tahoe, was drowned Monday.
He sank below the surface before
those nearby could aid him.
Cries of the boy who was left
houndering in the water beyond his
depth when Dayton sank from sight
attracted Emerson Wilson, son OF
Wayne T. Wilson, Reno attorney
who was swimming some distance
away. Wilson went to the rescue and
swan the boy to the shore.
Dayton's body was recovered ter
minutes later by divers. Efforts to
resusciate him were futile.
Owners of the Meeks Bay camp
said that Dayton had been subject to
i'll health for some time, and his
physical condition and the heat
of the day were contributory factor:
in the young mans death.
Dayton's relatives live in La Cross,
Wisconsin. He was spending vac
alton and working part time at tn,
lresort, reports the Reno Journal.
