Salt as a Fertilizer

Salt has long been recognized as va.
liable fertilizing agent, especially for use
on light, sandy or worn-out land. 1t is
claimed that an oat crop on such soil is
more than doubled by the use of salt
Farmers of Northern Vermont have
been accustomed for many years to OBJ
tain their Fertilizing Salt of C. S. Page
of Hyde Park, Vt. The Salt he sells is
that which has been used on Hides,
Skins, etc., in his hidehouse and contains
more or less waste matter that really
adds to its fertilizing value. Last year
the demand far exceeded the supply and
Mr.. Pages stock was exhausted early in
the season, so that he was obliged to dis
appoint many farmers who sent in their
orders late. 1t is advisable, therefore,
that farmers who intend using Pages salt
this season should place their orders early.
The price this year is only $500 per
ton. T. o. b. Hyde Park. The railroad
makes an especially low rate on
twelve ton carloads. IL you viii write
Mr.. Page, he will tell you the exact rate
to your station.

work in the building. About year ago
A. M. Mcfarland bought the building
and had conducted a flour and feed bust
ness on the first floor. The upper floors
were occupied by seven tenants, all of
whom barely escaped with their lives,
none of their household effects being
saved.
The fire caught in the furnace room
and went up through the grain elevator
shaft which was in the center of the
building. Mr.. Mcfarland had 200 tons
OF feed in the building and number of
carloads of grain, and little of his stock
was saved. He alone carried any insur-
ance, the loss sustained by all the ten
ants being total.

How majestic this personality of Abra-
ham! A man of faith who dared to seek

so constant in his devotion to spiritual
ideals that his life became a complete
harmony with God The realization of
the higher co nmuniop possible to man
kind was music unto his soul. The ex-
quisite melody resounding through his
life was the fingers of God playing upon
the sympathetic strings of his heart |
He had sworn friendship to his vision of |
the Infinite and found therin the fulness |
of peace, power and plenty. His heaven
ly Companion was the blessing of his life |
and the guidance of his soul. This init
mate friendship with the Most High has |
been unto the world glowing example |
Of moral excellency. "He was called |
the friend of God"

Local Politics Quiet

Comparatively speaking, local politics,
with the possible exception of The License
issue, are unusually quiet, notwithstand-
ing the fact that own meeting is less
than week ahead. To all outward ap-
pearances there would seem to be very
general satisfaction with the work of the
several town officers; but as the auditors
report is not yet out it is rather difficult
to pronounce judgment either way with
any degree of defniteness.
The matter of the selection of town
officers is doubtless overshadowed by
the License question, consequently not
much talk is heard of the former. Some
talk has been heard about Road Com
missioner question, which reveals di-
vision of opinion as to the advisability
of electing two Commissioners again this
year as was done year ago for the first
time in this town. Many are of the
opinion that better results would be
realized by leaving the work entirely in
the hands of G. A. Barrows, who has
served the town faithfully and very
efficiently for many years, while others
think that a second Commissioner is
needed. In connection with the latter
view of the matter, the name of Charles
FL. Dodge, who has had considerable ex-
perienee in bodybuilding, has been
favorably mentioned by people in differ
ent parts of town. 1t is also understood
that Ernest Hadley and E. E. Eggleston
will be candidates.

Democratic Primaries.

Democratic primaries were held
throughout the State Wednesday,
and so far as the result is known
it is safe to predict that George

of the party for Congress. In
Churchill county no primary was
held, and it is now up to the
County Central Committee to ap-
point the delegates to the Tono-
pah convention. The feeling is
SO strongly in favor of Barelett
in this county that it goes with
out saying that the Churchill
delegation will be composed of
men in his favor. This opinion
is given after interviewing the
leading men of the party.

Amid Boom of Anvils, Blow
ing Of Whistles and Blare
of Trumpets.
Speeches, Music and Refresh
ments Mark the Open
ing Night.

The principal event of the week
was the opening of the new club
rooms of the Fallon Commercial
Club, which took place Tuesday
evening. The firing of anvils,
the ringing of the fire bell and
blowing of the whistle by the
Fallon Slaughtering and Supply
Co., which begun about 7 O'Clock
and kept up for some time, sum-
moned the citizens of Fallon to
the new headquarters. Then the
bank broke in with that lively
tune, "A Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight, " and then gave
an open air concert in front of
the headquarters, which was en-
joyed by nearly every one in
town.
After the concert the recep-
ton committee, consisting of
Harvey Burchell, Mark Wildes,

call, Paul Groth, Fred Wight
man, A, p. Bettersworth, ID. E.

tertainment of the members and

decorated in the national colors.

coursed pleasant music, and it
might be well to say that this
organization is improving with
each meeting.
