WILL HAVE A MODEL CREAMERY
Churchill Creamery Inc. to Have
the Finest Milk Products
Plant Within Nevada.

The Churchill Creamery Incorpor-
ated has outgrown its present quar-
ters. When here last week Geo.
Wingfield, the principal stockholder,
authorized Manager c. J. Kelsey to
proceed with the plans of building
modern creamery plant that will be
the finest within the state and one OF
the most complete In the west.
Plans are now in formation by the
creamery management. They in
clude the erection near the railroad
track upon real estate yet to be ac-
quired of a plant that will enable
this company to manufacture cheese
and other dairy products, in addition
to butter, which will continue to be
the leading product. The innova-
ton will entail the expenditure of
from $4,000 to $4,000 and 1t is
estimated that it will be ready for
the installation of the company's al
ready complete equipment of ma
chinery by September 1st. This
will mean that work will be COM
menced very shortly.
The building will be constructed
of reinforced concrete and will not
only be fire proof, but will be sani-
tary and model of convenience in
its every detail.
A refrigerating plant will be in
cluded within the new creamery that
will have ample capacity to allow of
the storing of the creamery's produc-
tion. The manufacture of ice as
branch of the business may occur at
future date.
From the time the Wingfied in
terests acquired the local creamery
last September its growth has been
rapid and the markets absorbing the
increased production has moved
along in harmony with the output.
Fallons fancy butter output now
leads in many of the state markets
and the time seems rapidly approach
ing when 1t will lead all others in
every part Of the state. About 500
cows are now being milked for the
Churchill Creamery Inc, and there
has never been a dearth of market
facilities. The only bane attaching
has had to do with the decreased
butter fat prices which have oc-
Cured everywhere in the west. In
this connection it is hoped by the
creamery management that the pen
dulum will swing the other way
shortly.

F0R UNCONVENTIONAL SCHOOL
Local Seventh Day Adventists
Organization Striving For
Church School In Fallon.

Prof NJ. E. Cady, Seventh Day
Adventist educator, spent Monday
and Yesterday in Fallon leaving on
last evenings train for his home in
Oakland, Cal His visit followed
cosely that of Elder Andross, who
waa here last week from Los Ange-
Las and their missions here were the
same. They we're investigating this
valley and their denominational in
terests, which are rapidly growing.
Neyada's needs were decided by the
Adyentists in attendance at the camp
meeting held in Reno last week. to
include UNCONVENTIONAL school.
During the camp meeting a COM
mite of Ave members OF the church
was appointed to determine the
proper location within the state for
the projected school and II is an
nounced that Fallon stands an ex-
cellent chance of securing this
school.
The plan now In mind contem-
plates a ten-grade school. which will
be Increased In scope as the need be-
comes apparent and 1t will be en-
dowed and maintained exclusively by
the Adventist church. The matter of
securing this school is important IN
a community sense as well as in an
Adventist sense. for its Inauguration
here would mean the introduction to
this community of considerable ad-
dltIonal Seventh Day Adventist pop
ulaton. IL is almost creed Of this
evangelical denomination that It's
membership shall wherever possible
forsake the city's strenuous offerings
for those OF the soil and the opening
OF the project to settlement this fall,
II co-incident with an announcement
Of an Adventist school for the valley,
will insure many we'll intending
families who otherwise would not
come here. For this reason the
members of the Fallon Adventist
church are striving In very legiti.
mate manner to bring the school
here.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Fallon Men Determine An Immense
Body OF NicISle In District Trib-
tary To Fallon.

Francis McDonough is in from
near camp Terrell, where together
with ]. f. May and Victor Timson,
he owns a group of mining claims.
Recent assays from the ledge un-
covered on this group shows 20 per
cent nickle, two ounces of silver and
small gold values. The values con-
tanned average about $40 per ton
and the find promises to develop into
something of great value. The
ledge is eight feet in width and is de-
termined for a distance of $500
feet. Mr.. MeDonough will leave to-
day for the claims and resume work.
Effort is now being directed to-
wards locating the nearest ore re-
ducing plant that will satisfactorily
care for the ores from this group,
which will shortly be shipped.

Most lawyers take keen delight
trying to confuse medical experts in
the witness box In murder trials, and
often they get paid back in their own
coin. A case is recalled where the
lawyer, after exercising all his tang
ling tactics without effect, looked
quizzically at the doctor who was
testifying and said. "You will ad-
nit that doctors sometimes make
mistakes, won't your" "Oh, yes,
the same as lawyers" was the cool
reply. And doctors mistakes are
buried six feet under ground" was
the lawyers triumphant reply.
Eyes" he replied, "and the lawyers
mistakes often swing in the air. -

HOW TO WET LAWNS.
Government Experts Tell OF Proper
Methods To Care For Lawns In Ir-
rigating. And Not Kill Grass.

Washington, June bad water
ing Is the cause of almost as many
poor lawns as droughts, according to
the landscape gardner of the U. 5.
department of agriculture. FIRE.
quent watering of merely the. sur
face of the grass. makes the roots of
the grass grow near the surface, and
these roots should be made to grow
down as deeply as possible in order
to secure a fine lawn that will resist
the hottest weather of summer.
The best method Of watering the
grass is to apply spray for from
six to II hours, the stream being SO
gentle that water will not collect in
sufficient quantities to run off. The
water will then soak down
and the roots viii grow to a greater
depth When this method is used
the lawn should be watered not
oftener than twice a week and then
the ground should be soaked, so that
the water penetrates for several
inches beneath the surface. AS a
general rule, watering once a week
is sufficient to keep lawn in good
condition.
The man who enjoys watering his
lawn in the evening for half hour
after returning from work will prob
ably prefer this method to leaving
the stream on for a number of hours
once a week If he will divide his
lawn area into six parts and confine
his attention to a different part each
evening, he will obtain practically
the same results in the long run.
Haphazard watering every evening is
not advisable. He should be care
| full also. TO use merely a gentle spray
and not continue watering to such an
extent that water runs off, as such
water does no good. In fact 1t may
do harm. for it may remove loose
dirt from the grass roots and ex-
pose them to drought. The strong
stream of hose should not be used
as 1t helps to expose the roots un-
necessarily.
Many people wonder why drought
dries up their lawns in July after
they have taken what they consider
good care of them. The combina'
tion. of hot winds and dry weather
makes July undoubtedly the hardest
month for lawns, and when the roots
of the grass are encour- ged to grow
near the surface by bad watering
and the loose dirt is also removed
from them by a hose of strong
water power, the results are more
disastrous than if the lawn had been
left alone.

A freak frost visited this vale

A freak frost visited this valley
night. 1t was freakish in
that it apparently was altogether in
fenced by the slightest air cur
rent, the frost being light in char
acter, but sufficient to tip the tender
garden stuff, wherever it spent full
est force. In Fallon gardens were
undisturbed within half block of
other gardens that were nipped. X.
E. Lee, who has AZ acres of fine
beans on the o. j. Leete place says
it was close call for his seasons ef-
fort, but that he luckily escaped.
This frost is probably the last of the
season, and is not so remarkable,
when the season is considered.
Over in the orange districts Of Cali
fornia moderate killing frost was
reported last week, while unusual
freezing weather was reported from
many points in the northwest.

Speaking of parcel post shipments
that are illustrative of the great diff
feulties attending the introduction of
this privilege into the postal branch
OF the government. Fallon post Of
fee forwarded within the last two
weeks one ton OF cane sugar in one
shipment from Sacramento to Won
der. and two tons of -four in another
shipment from and to the same
points. The postage in each case
WAS 5i cents per so pounds, and
from Fallon the stages, auto trucks
Or autos must carry the parcel post
shipments to Wonder, distance of
60 miles and this after more than
200-mile ride on the train. Just
how Uncle Sam figures on breaking
even In this task Is hard to figure,
for the contractors who handle the
heavy materials must either exact a
living wage or go broke. OF course,
great psternalistic government
cannot expect such an exigency.
