MEN DROWNED IN WALKER
LAKE.
Sheriff Fred Balzar, of Mineral
County, reports the drowning of two
men at Walker Lake on July 17th.
It'appears that John Downer and Joe
Strang, men employed on the Spen
cer ranch went to the lake in the af
ternoon and attempted to dynamite
fish. After the explosion Downey
went into the lake to get the fish
and as the waves were running pretty
high, was thrown off his feet. Noting
his struggles, his partner Strang fol
lowed him in. Mrs. Spencer, who
was a witness noted that both men
were struggling and threw in a piece
of timber, but to no avail, as Strang
was swept from his feet and never
came' up, while Downey after a short
struggle rank from sight.
Word wag brought to Hawthorne of
the accident and a search was made
for the bodies, which were not re
covered until the next day. Downey,
it appears was visiting with Strang,
and the two had planned a prospecting
trip. — Carson News.

The Busy Store
the river come down for the use of the
potato and grain men instead of using
it on the farms of the upper valley
for irrigating the pasture lands. The
second crop of alfalfa will do fairly
well without more water.
A committee consisting of F. O.
Stickney, Melio Maionchi and State
Engineer Case went to Bridgeport
Wednesday to see how much is. be
ing diverted by the Humphrey &
Moffat and Plymouth Company ranch
es. The hope is that these farms
will stop using the water entirely and
that all the other smaller places, will
follow suit patriotically so that the
crop which is less m acreage than in
former years will ripen and Nevada
will be able to feed herself at least,
if she cannot help the outside states.

NYE RULES ON SALOONS
The Nye county liquor board has
passed an ordinance for the closing
of saloons in the county between
midnight and 8 a.m., the ordihance
to become effective July 31. The
new rule was adopted on requelet
of the Council of Defense and revo
cation of the liquor license is made
the penalty for disobeying.
.... ... CAMOUFLAGE. .
Camouflage is a good word, says
the Colorado School of Mines Maga
zine. It covers a multitude of truths,
lies, sorrows, joys, scandals, seren
ities and vast reserves of ignorance
as well as artillery. It is useful in
War and peace. Its application has
become widespread in a few short
months as no other word in the war
lexicon. It is more American than it
is French, because we practice it
more. It is all-embracing. It hides
things we want hidden. It discloses
when too late to seek cover. It is a
screen for action, words and thought.
MAINLY A STATE OF MIND.
Shipbuilders think that liquor is
essential. Many of us, however, tho’t
a lot of things were essential until
we could not get them.
Dispatches say Germany is ready
for peace. Well and good. But the
Allies are not.
Farm Bureau
A Coun.ty Farm Bureau is
an institution for the develop
ment of a county program of
work in agriculture and home
economics, and for cooperat
s ing with State and Federal
agencies in the develop
■ ment of profitable farm man
agement and efficient an.d j
wholesome home and com
munity life, for man, woman,
and child. It is organized
agricultural democracy, by
means of which farmers and
their families express them
selves concerning all mat
ters relating to the advance
ment of agricultural, home,
| and community life.
