and urgent insistence.
The principles upon which we
should act are also clear The coun-
tryl has sought and seen in its path
in this matter within the last few
years-sees it more clearly now than
it ever saw it before-much more
clearly than when the last legisla-
tive proposals on the subject were
made. We must have currency, not
as rigid as now, but readily classical
ly responsive to sound credit, the ex-
panding and contracting of credits of
everyday transactions, the normal
ebb and flow of personal and cor
porate dealings. Our banking laws
must mobolize reserves; must not
permit the concentration anywhere
in few hands of the monetary re-
sources of the country or their use
for speculative purposes in such vol
ume as to hinder or impede or stand
i'm the way of other more legitimate,
more fruitful uses. And the control
of the system of banking and of is
sue which our new laws are to set
up must be public, not private, must
be vested in the government itself,
SO that the banks may be the instru-
ments and not the masters, of busi-
ness and of individual enterprise and
initiative.

which legislation of this character is
referred have devoted careful dis
passionate study to the means of ac-
complishing these objects. They have

FAIL,oN WINS GAME.
Trounces Reno ut Baseball BY Il
Score of II to Five.

Despite that neither Reno
paper made even scant mention of
the fact the Fallon hall team invad-
ed Reno Sunday, together with loyal
rooters and before a crowd of 1000
lusty fans neatly and decisively trim
med the the Reno ball team by a
score of II to five. The trick was
turned so easily upon the team which
one week previously had administer
ed a three to two defeat upon the To-
cal boys after 10 hard fought innings
that it really never assumed the nat
ure of a contest 1t may have been
this fact that rendered the affair un-
fit for publication in Renos great
disseminators of sporting news. But
at any rate, 1t is fact and being a
fact of course Fallon fans may be
excused for feeling proud of the ac-
complishment and the athletes whose
prowess made the trick possible.
The score book that tells the tale
has either been tucked carefully
away in an obscure hiding place or
thrown into the Truckee and having
no data at hand il is not possible to
tabulate the play of the game beyond
merely reciting the awful score. The
lineups of the two teams we're exact
ly the same as on the Sunday preced-
ing the exceptions of Fallon's Pad
and 3rd base positions, which were
played by Harris and Blackwoo1,
r spectiyely. both from Lahontan eal
ball players every inch OF them.
Ira Kent had his walloping optics
along with him, getting two singles
and a three bagger in as many trips
to the plate. Douglass. Fallon's
catcher, received the offerings OF
Conklin, our pitcher in perfect style
and added to the luster of his work
by showing ball so far out of the lot
that ii went for a home run. Lloyd
Foote made a perfect throw from
h1Np NShAti aAASi hahuilhS ny anu
Douglass completed the double play
when without moving a step from
the plate he tagged a Remote who at
tempted to get home on what would
ordinarily pass for a sacrifice hit
Abe Shirley and Lloyd Foote did
little circus tumbling while trying to
field fly ball, and when their arms,
legs and neeks were untangled Shirr
ley had the ball in his hand for an
out.
IL was a good game from a Fallon
viewpoint even if the Gazette and
Journal refrained from saying so.
More's the PITY Poor sportsmanship.

FARMING
SECTIONS
Show Amazing Amount OF
Recent Development And
Are Making Good.
The District Around Carson Lake Is
Coming Rapidly to The Front
As Result of Work.

Down around Carson Lake are
principalities fit for king. 1t was
a pleasure TO ride over
two of these land holdings Sunday,
one OF 600 acres in extent, belonging
to f. M. Wightman, the other 500
acres big, belonging to Gibbs, Phil
lips Robinson. Mr. Wightman's
tract is practically ali in cultivation,
300 acres bearing alfalfa, while di-
versified crops, including 80 acres of
sugar beets, are being grown Frank
Vierra has the sugar beet land under
lease, and the sugar bearing plants
promise an average yeild of at least
20 tons per acre. One more irrigation
| will suffice and Sc per ton promises
to line the inside of vierra's pockets
with yellow metal this fall
Mr.. Wightman's farm has been
vastly improved during the past few
years, leveling and cultivating hav-
ing been practically continuous with
the result that increment has been
added to the farm as rapidly as in
dustrious hands and stock and ma
chinery would permit.
Passing over the Gibbs, Phillips &
Robinson farm, formerly carrying
the designation of the 'Dillard
ranch" one is amazed at the pro-
gress being made in farm making.
faU l.
tract and though lived upon for half
a century, it showed few signs of
human endeavor. But the order of
things has been changed. Henry
Phillips is the man whose work and
direction have been largely respon-
sible for the accomplishments,
though Frank Gibbs, project MAIN
tenance superintendent, and e. J.
Robinson, equal partners, have fur
nished the wherewith and much of
their time besides to keep things
moving. The result: more than 800
of the 500 acres are in cultivation,
275 of which bear richly hued alfal-
ia. OF this amount 175 acres are
what is termed 'old seeding, while
100 acres were planted this year
along with barley. The way both va
rieties of seed terminated and re-
sponded to the efforts of the hus-
bandmen is quite enough to strike
pride to the breast of any land own
er and the ranch owners can see in
dependence clearly now where for
merly a cloud of uncertainty hung.
Their ranch was once considered a
lynx place; sort of abiding place for
ghosts and failures, but in truth the
soil is mellow and rich as are all the
soils in the lake district. They are
practically free from alkali and being
underlaid by strata impervious to
this insidious salt, there is no up-
cropping, something that occurs all
too frequently at other project points
Mr.. Wightman uses his place as q
modern farm should be used. He
has it abundantly stocked with fine
breeds of both cattle and horses. He
has brood mares weighing ton and

CLAIMED BY DEATH.
Mrs. Beth Wiiliams-Freeman Passed
Awey Sa,, rday.

Beth Williams Freeman. reliet of
the late Ernest j. Freeman, passed
away at the home of her parents. Mr.
and Mrs. w. w. Williams. early Sat
urday morning, after an Illness of
several weeks, which from the first
seemed destined to result fatally
Everything possible was done to al
leyiate suffering and stay the pro-
gress of disease, but without re-
suit beyond lessening pain. Mrs.
Freeman was 25 years and eight
months of age at the time of demise.

Mrs. Williams. She was born in
Lander county and was raised Mt
Clan Alpine and in Fallon. She re-
ceived her education in the common
schools of this county, at the Neva-
da state university and at Mills col
lege, and was an accomplished and
beautiful young lady.
She was united in marriage with
Ernest j Freeman in San Francisco
on January 23rd. 1909, Mr.. Free
mans death occurring in the same
city on June 22nd, 1912. following
an operation for appendicitis. The
lives Of the two were extremely hap
py and their three and one-half years
Of welded existence we're spent on
the Freeman ranch at Saltwater,
where the deceased was a true and
loyal helpmate in all that the term
implies, striving always for the sue
cess of the man with whom her flu
ture was united. Mr.. Freeman's
death brought poignant grief into
her life During her widowhood she
resided with her parents in this
place.
The death of Mrs. Freeman was
not a surprise to the community, but
nevertheless il was a great shock
Her girlhood home was here; a null
titude Of friends knew and loved her:
the memory Of her is treasured one
in many hearts. She was brave
little lady and throughout her Ill
ness she never betrayed fear of con-
sequences or complained Of the pain
that wraeked her body.
The funeral services we're held at
the family home in Fallon Sunday
aftrnoon at two o'clock. A brief
euaeistie address was made at the
coffin side by Rev. T. L. Spaulding,
the local Baptist pastor. while ap-
proprlate music was rendered by
picked choir. The floral offerings
were many and beautiful. Following
he services. the remains, aecompani-
ed by the members of the family,
we're taken TO Woodland. Cal, where
in response to an expressed prefer
ence on the part of the deceased,
they were laid beside those of the de-
ceased husband in the family plot.
This is a case where love and
friendship can interpose no comfort,
nor can empty words stay the grief.
Il Is hard to give up those who have
lived their allotted years but Infinite
ly harder to part with those whose
lives hold every promise for useful
ness. God rest the one who has fall
en- asleep and send His solace to the
mourning ones who are left behind.

The city of Fallon, and its 1900
residents used total of 1,S04,160
gallons from the municipal water
system during the month of June, or
a daily average of $4,000 gallons,
while during the month of May the
consumption was 1,349.900 or daily
average of about $4,000. This is a
small per capita consumption for a
desert town. We would like to hear
from the Nevada Distillers & Brew

are interfering with the water con-
sumption.

more valuable to the public gen.
orally and to the farming ele.
ment than this farmers exhibit
of the products of their farms.
The present time is peculiarly
appropriate to hold such a fair
as our parish is blessed with
bumper crops of every kind CT
agricultural products, and our
farmers generally are in a more
cheerful and hopeful frame of
mind.
One Of the subjects that will
receive consideration and that
will be discussed, is the estab-
lishment here of a permanent
market for the sale of our sur
plus corn, potatoes, truck and
every species of farm products.
The best speakers on agricul-
tural subjects will address our
people on that occasion, includ-
ing DR.. w. r. Dodson, Disector
of the State Experiment Station,
A. R. Barracks, Secretary-Man-
ager Of the Louisiana Publicity
Commission, F. S. White, Agri-
cultural and Horticultural Agent
for the Frisco Lines, and others.
Nc parish in the State is bet
ter situated to organize and
maintain a frst-class fair asso-
citation than the parish of St.
Landry, and we are glad to an
nounce that there are citizens
behind the present plan whose
names furnish an ample guaran-
tee that the plan will be a sue
cess.
The Clarion urges everybody
to do everything in their power
to make the coming fair a grand
opening success.

but few a problems Of a local
nnture which do not interest the
entire state and the concentrated
effort of a we'll organized state
wide force applied in an effort to
solve one problem will afford
quicker results and more general
relief than can possibly be
afforded by many times the en-
ergy and effort applied without
organization and cooperation.
In order to interest men and
money in, Opelousas it is first
necessary to satisfy the pros
pective newcomer or investor
that Louisiana is a desirable
state to live and invest in. One
of the most convincing booklets
ever published by a southern
land company was a recent pub
LEGATION of a Georgia company.
In an elaborate forty-page book
let, thirty pages were devoted to
the South as a whole, six pages
to the county (parish) and four
pages to the specific proposition
offered for sale.
This booklet was a famous
business getter. A single ex-
hibit Of the product Of one farm
by one man, no matter how
meritorious, attracts but passing
comment. A competitive ex-
hibit excites general interest and
comment.
Every district as well as every
community has some particularly
attractive feature to offer as an
emphasis to the general invita-
ton to come to Louisiana; COM
bine all these attractions and the
invitation will be heard and
answered.

GET TOGETHER, Sta Y
TOGETHER.

A wise and timely slogan, nc
more applicable, however, t.
thirteen parishes of South West
Louisiana than to the smallest
community or the state at large.
The getting together of the S.
w. Louisiana district was char.
acterized as a scientifically built
organization, built by design and
not by accident.
The plan, both in conception
land execution, showed a high
class of brain work and the fin
lished article is one which if par
ticularly remarkable because of
the absence of those flaws SO
common to like organizations,
mainly sectional Jealousy and
personal exploitation.
Local organizations through
out the state are constantly be-
ing formed and the idea of CO.
ordinating the effort of the unit
organizations into a definitely
outlined district seems to have
its first tangible express
sion in the organization of the
South West Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau.
Question: Will this have a
tendency to diminish the local
pride and interest in local organ
izations?
Decidedly, No! On the con-
trary, a spirit of friendly emula-
ton is a logical result of frater-
nal contact with neighboring
communities and more practical
and aggressive constructive and
development work is the inevl-
table result.
This same logic, as applied to
communities and districts, ap-
plies in a like manner to dis
sricts and the state. There are
