COOPERATIVE SELLING
By CHAS. W. M'KINNEY

The farmer standing alone is at
the mercy OF buyers, shippers and
transportation companies. He
cannot name his own price Tor his
production, nor can be modify
transportation charges, be they
ever so exorbitant.
The farmer is entitled to a living
wage, and a fair profit on his
goods. Standing alone, and with
out cooperation with other farm
ers, he is obliged to accept thu
prices offered him by organized
buyers. These prices sometimes
are little more than the cost of
production, and sometimse not
that.
Cooperative Marketing aims to
get the farmers together, with the
idea OF maintaining a price Tor
their goods which shall cover the
cost of production, interest on in
vested capital and just profit.
By such cooperation each farmer
has an opportunity to better his
own financial condition.
1t is very common among farm
ers to disregard the business end
of the farm. Cooperative selling
will remedy this condition, and
will make the farmers better bust
ness men, and better farmers.
Cooperation will also remove
the inherited distrust which far
mer neighbors have OF each Other,
BY working together and or eacl
other, every farmer will be benel
fitted individually. The opportuni'
ties for social intercourse will b{,
increased, through the regulaI
meetings OF this Association, thu
standard OF products will be raised,
and the cost OF production low
cred.
Let us for a moment considers
Our different crops, and how by
cooperation we could control thu
selling prices. |.
HAY is the principal money
crop OF Cecil county. By concert !
ed effort believe we could find q
satisfactory market on the eastn
ern shore, and thus increase CUP
income.
WHEAT is our next money,
crop. In Cecil county we have
several varieties OF wheat. which
| think is mistake. If the farm
ers would determine the best quail
ity for milling purposes, then raise
only that kind, we could ship by
carload. and get five cents bushel
more than market price.
CORN is our principal crop for
feed, but doubt ii there is enough
raised in Cecil county to equal the
consumption, This should receive
careful consideration.
OATS raised in Cecil county is
principally fed on the arms where
raised. In this case also the con-
sumption exceeds the production.
Wheat and oats STRAW is a
good money crop, and there is a
great demand for same. In this
connection permit me to say that
in my opinion the blower on the
thresher is detrimental to good,
clean straw. Without chaff, this
would command better price.
There is good money value in
POTATOES. As a rule farmers
III Cecil county are over Zealous in
selecting a great variety OF pota-
toes. To get the maximum price
for our product, we should all have
the same kind OF potatoes, and
have them we'll sorted before ship
ping. 1t is interesting to trace a
potato crop from producer to con-
sumer. and note all the different

Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
is of the utmost Importance to keep
your nervous system in good con"
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2II Mechanic ST., Pueblo,
Colo, says:
"For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; | was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me- Remedies |

me particle of good. A neighbor

too highly"
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you shnuld delay treatment.

Escapes White
Slavery
CHARGE

Of late it has been quite common
to read of white slavery cases in
the city papers and to lie in the
swim Gardneryille had close call
Saturday from gaining notoriety
as the result of one of these case.
A man giving his name as George
Gray, who lives from the wages Of
fallen women, arrived from Tono-
pah Saturday and demanded money
from Pearl Stewart, an inmate of
red light district. The girl gave
him $40 and minute later he took
her gold watch and left with the
threat that he would be back later
and get her.
Fearing for her safety, the girl
swore to warrant for his arrest
and Officer Ramsay found him at
the Minden hotel ard placed him
under arrest. The women was de-

influence was brought to bear and
she finally consented to withdraw
her complaint provided that Gray
would leave town and never return.
When told of this Gray was only too
willing to.comply and was escorted
to the next train by the officer and
sent his way.
The girl told the officers that she
had known Gray for three months
and during that time he had foret d
her to give him $3.50. Beside that
he had beat her and threatened her
life until she lived in mortal fear.
Other startling stories were told and
the officers believe had she pressed
her charges, Gray would have been
found guilty of white slavery.

DEATH CALLS
GENOA LADY

Mrs. Frank Walker died at her
home in Genoa early yesterday
morning and her taking away is
one of the saddest that has occurred
in this community in long while.
On June 9th Mrs. Walker gave
birth to a baby boy and for several
days thereafter she improved as
rapidly as was expected. Then
without the least warning she was
taken with convulsions and other
alarming symptoms. Two physi-
clans fought death with all the
science at their command but the
complications were too great and
this highly respected and honored
young woman closed her eyes to
this world that another might live.
Of all the martyrs the world has
produced motherhood radiates a
bove them all, a light brighter,
purer and sweeter than any self
sacrifice known. Nothing so fills
friends heart so full of sadness
and sympathy as the death of a
mother at child birth. In this case
besides the babe who will never
know his mothers love, excepting
through the memories of his BROTH
ers and sisters, she leaves family Of
four small children, the oldest be-
ing boy of fifteen.
Mrs. Walker was the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Gray of Genoa
and was born in that town 81 years
ago. About Is years ago she mar
ried Frank Walker and has lived a
peaceful happy life, her whole life
being wrapped up in her family.
Besides her husband and five
children Wesley, Evelyn, Dorothy
and Hubert. she is survived by her
mother, Mrs. VIM. Gray, two
brothers, Morton and William, be-
SIDES other relatives.
The grief-striken husband and
other relatives have the profound
est sympathy of every person in
this community in this their hour
of great sorrow.
The funeral services will be held
at Genoa Sunday, June 22nd at
O'clock p. m. and the interment will
take place in the Genoa cemetrey.

WILL CELEBRATE THE
GLORIOUS FOURTH

The band boys have taken the
grand old American eagle by the
tail and will make him screech and
yell in Gardnerville on the Fourth
July. The business men of Gardner
vile have subscribed literally to a
celebration fund with the under
standing that the band boys have
complete charge of all arrange
ments.
The first thing the ooys did was
to get use of the Jensen Grove for
that day, made possible through the
generosity of A. Jensen. The dense
shade of this grove will afford a
cool resting place for women and
children and also a fine place to eat
lunch.
1t is desired to have the finest and
biggest automobile parade ever
held in western Nevada. Besides
the decorated autos it is urged that
auto floats by business houses of
both Minden and Gardnerville be
entered in this parade. A cash
prize of S25.00 is offered for the
best decorated machine and is worth
going after. A committe of three
disinterested persons will be select
ed to award this prize so square
deal will be given every contestant.
This parade is to be held in the
forenoon because of the convenience
thus afforded and the time will be
1920.

N eW Strik G
IS Not a
Joke

1t is said that every man knows
his own business better than his
critics and this saying is appliable
to VIM. Scheele in the gold strike
that has been made on his ranch
near Fairview. Mr.. Scheele is keep
ing his own council and very merger
details regarding values are obtain
able.
Nearly all of the Sheele ranch as
well as the adjoining ranch of R.
Thran has been staked as placer
ground.
Some time ago while Mr.. Scheele
was digging a post hole he discover
ed gold in the black sand that is to
be found in that locality. Assays
were made and while the results
are not known, Judging from the
work now being carried on, they
must have been very encouraging.
An electric power line 2500 feet
in length has been run to the find
from the Fay line. A pump has
been installed to keep the water out
of the shaft and the intentions are
to go down to bed rock.
The finding of placer gold in the
very heart of this Valley has created
no little excitement and development
work will be watched with keen
interest.
At present there is a wide differ
ence of opinion as regards to the
find" and while some see visions
of immense gold dredgers digging
up the fertile fields of Carson Valley
and leaving barren waste in their
wake, others are of the opinion that
he is wise farmer who in
dulges not in mining ventures.
These prophesies are made without
the least knowledge of what has
been found by Mr.. Scheele. 1t is
hoped however, that his find will
prove to be richer than Weaver
Creek ever was.

Hunting Lost Riches

The Carson News reports that an
outfit was fitted out there a few
days ago by three men who came
from Tuoloume county, to make
systematic search for buried treas
ure in the vicinity of Double Springs
on the road to Bodie near the Noun
t ain House. The men stated they
we're fitted with a map which had
fallen into their hands through the
death of an old man in Tuolume
county a few months ago. They
claimed that in the early days of
the .Bodie excitement stage was
was robbed coming from the south
ern section and valuables to the a.
mount of about sixty thousand
dollars were taken. The robber
secreted his booty near Double
Springs and made a map of the Sec
ton, At the death of the robber
the map fell into the hands of
physician who has outfitted the
present searching party.
In the early days of the southern
section there were many stage rob-
berries as along the line the famous
Sharp and others piled their trade,
but the old timers of this section
cannot remember any robbery in
which the sum of sixty thousand
dollars was lost.
Although several robberies oc-
Cured in that vicinity in early days
there is no evidence that the loot
was buried. However, during the
past twenty years different per-
sons have spent much time looking
for the riches. Divining rod ex-
perts, others in communication with
spirits. and those directed by wise
fortune tellers have secured the
hills and canyons but without sue
cess. No lesf than five mapf made
by that bold bad robber on his death
bed and still they come. 1t looks as
though the fellow who sells the
maps is an Industrious cuss.

LAND RESTORED
TO settlement

The Department of Interior an
nounces the withdrawal of certain
lands in the Mono National Forest
and their restoration to settlement
according to the law.
This land is located in Alpine
county and is suitable for grazing
purposes. This territory will be
thrown open to settlement on and
after 8 o'clock a. M, standard time,
August Il, 1913, and the surveyed
lands therein to entry on and after
September 10, 1913 and the unsurv-
eyed lands at that date to entry
thereafter upon the fling of the
plat of survey, under the laws ap-
plicable thereto, at the United
States Land Office at Sacramento.
The official notice of this restora-
ton is published in another part of
this paper.
Intending settlers are warned to
ascertain the status of the surveyed
lands and to get all information
available as to the unsurveyed lands
by inquiry at the local land office
before making settlement thereon.
Persons holding valid subsisting set
tlement rights initiated prior 10
withdrawal, and who have MAIN
tanned their settlement on the lands,
will be allowed preference rights to
make entry of such lands in ac-
eordance with existing laws and
regulations.

another leading event and some ex-
ert riders have already signifiedp
their intentions of contesting for
the first prize-a bag of gold.
One of the novelties of the day
will be the sending up of numerous
toy balloons, each having tied to it a
valuable prize. The person getting
the balloon when it descends gets the
prize.
Foot races of all kind will be held
on Main street. The fat and the
lean, the young and the old will all
be given chance to match their
feetness for substantial cash prizes.
The only horse race billed is pony
race. From experience it has been
found that horse racing on Fourth
of July usually results in lot of
dissatisfaction and for that reason
the pony race will be the only one of
this nature.
The boys are planning to make
the celebration one of continuous
excitement from early morn till
late at night. Outside of the: band,
others are endeavoring to line up a
boxing bout between Solomon, now
of Carson and Jack Smith of Gard
nerville. Also between Green, an
Antelope Valley lad and Drum
mond of Carson.
In the evening a grand ball will be
held at Valhalla Hall and the band
will furnish music for the occasion.

New York, May 12.-Miss Florence
L. Brandt, a kindergarten teach of

turity, her complaint says, so that he
would be legally competent to enter
a complaint against the estate.

CAR BECAUSE
LABOR CLASH

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 12-One car
burned, five deserted and left stand
ing in the streets of the downtown
section and the crews of these six
cars either beaten or forced to run for
cover is the result of an effort today
of the Cincinnati Traction company
to operate its cars.
A car passing Hunt street was seen
ablaIe. Several men, driving wagons
alongside the car, had thrown a
quantity of gasoline over the car and
put a match to it. The crew number
ing 10 deserted and were pursued by
a crowd, but escaped. On Central
avenue two cars were stalled by a
heavy wagon driven in front of them.
Before the police could move the wag-
on a crowd boarded the cars, rocks
and bottles were hurled through them
and few of the crew of 16 managed 10
escape bruises. None was seriously
hurt.
Labor troubles we're complicated to-
day when the Building Employers
association declared a lockout. Eight
hundred men were thrown out of
work A general strike may follow
involving 1000 to 5000. The Difficult
ty is over sympathetic strikes.
