VERY LITTLE ALFALFA
UNSOLD AT LOVELOCK

But $500 tons Of alfalfa hay remain
unsold in Lovelock Valley, according
to authorities in touch with the stu
alton, several substantial sales having
been effected between local growers
and outside livestock feeders during
late days. With an interim of more
than month separating this date
from the first of the year it is conf

that Loveloek Valley hay will be fully
sold by that time. No hay sales have
been made in this area for less than
$500, nor is it likely that such will
be the case, asserts those in touch
with affairs, for the reason that cat

plus and additional shipments of feed

Must be Paid Before Next Monday
Night to Prevent Delinquency and
Added Penalties and Costs

The first installment of taxes for
the fiscal year will be delinquent at
the close of business hours next Mon
day. II r. Jepsen, county clerk, re-
ports that taxes have been coming in
at lively rate during the past few
days and that there is still quite a
number of taxpayers on the list that
have yet to make settlement for the
first installment.
While a great number wait until
the last few days to make settlement
with the county for taxes, during the
past number of years Douglas county
has had a smaller delinquent list than
any other county in Nevada, the nom
payment being confined to few who
own mining property in the old camp
of Buckskin.

LUTHERANS BEGIN
THEIR CHURCH YEAR
Sunday Marks the Beginning of New
Year and Rev. Felten Will De-
liver an Appropriate Sermon

The Bible distinguishes three ad-
vents, or comings, of Christ. The first
was the gladstone event when the Son
of God became man. The second is
that which will take place when in
great majesty and glory Chriss shall
appear at the end of the world to
judgement. Besides these the Bible
speaks of another coming, His coming
into the souls of men, His knocking
at the door of their hearts for admis-
sion, His offer of grace and pardon
those blessings which He by His work
and sufferings has obtained for them.
In this sense He comes in every faith
full sermon, in every presentation OF
His Gospel and Sacrament.
Without His spiritual coming into
the hearts of men, His coming to
judgment will be a day of terror to
those who closed their hearts to Him
or cast Him out again, after once hav-
ing received Him. Behold, thy King
cometh unto thee" was the joyous
note which rang out upon his trium-
phant entry into Jerusalem. And it is
expected of His followers that they
accord Him like reception at His in
visible coming in the Word.
Sunday marks the beginning of the
new church year. The Christ's spir-
itual advent will be discoursed upon
Text Isaiah, %, 16; Therefore, thus
sayeth the Lord, God, Behold, l lay in
Zion for foundation a Stone, tried
Stone, a precious Cornerstone, sure
Foundation" Are you building upon
this Rock and Foundation? Or, have
you stopped building. Is your house
really finished?
There will be two services Sunday
German at 1890 am, English at
pm. In the evening service Holy
Communion will be celebrated. Kind
ly announce on Friday.
The Sunday school meets for re-
hearsal on the Christmas program
Saturday afternoon at 1880 o'clock.
Parents will kindly see to it that their
children are in attendance.
The church council meets Wednes-
day eve, the Missionary Ladies Aid
Thursday afternoon.
Behold, thy King cometh unto
thee" Will you meet Him?

INDIANS
ARE ARRESTED
One Goes to Jail Forty Days;
Others Held to Answer to
Charge in Federal Court

Fred Mike, a Washoe Indian, was
arrested by the officers last Friday
for drunkenness, and dsorderly con
duct. Mike is one of those indiyid-
uals that will drink anything, and
does not stop at canned heat when his
thirst is great and he can secure moth
ing better. Some few months ago
two Indians died at Fallon after drink
ing wood alcohol taken from canned
heat, but Mike seems TO be able to
consume rank poison, and aside from
getting drunk, suffers no i'll effects
from the stuff.
While 1t is true that Indians are
able to procure booze, it is with much
more difficulty than in the pre-Vol-
stead days. Occasionally an Indian
secures quantity of corn whisky and
becomes bootlegger among his tribe.
The condition of Fred Mike led the
officers here to suspect that such was
being done and succeeded in arresting
Frank Lewis and Frank Smith, who
had in their possession a gallon of corn
whisky. They have been turned over
to the federal authorities.
Fred Mike was taken before Judge
Anderson and was sentenced to forty
days in the county jail.
Frank Lewis and Frank Smith in
formed the officers after their arrest
where they procured the jug of liquor.
Charley George, a former Gardner
vile Indian, found barrel of booze
in an old cellar in Carson. He told
the two Indians of the find and they
took supply. The federal officers
have made an attempt to locate the
owner of the hidden booze but without
results
