A teacher in children's institution
was giving the geography class les
son on the cattle ranches. She spoke
Of their beef all coming from the
West. and, wishing to test the chill
dren's observation, she asked:
"And what else comes to US from
these ranches"
This was a poser. She looked at
her shoes. but no one took the hint.
She tried again:

HeaS Convict Themselves.

A Wisconsin man tried in vain
to convince a neighbor that the
Iatter's hens were stealing his
garden seeds as fast as he could
plant them. To prove it he scat
tered grains of corn to each of
which was attached a card by
means of strong thread. The
hens swallowed the kernels but
could not swallow the cards, and
when they marched homeward,
each bore a card upon which was
written the story of where she
had been, and what she had been
doing.

VALLEY NOTES
| Record Courierl

Recently compiled figures show
! that about $500 head of beef steers
are now being fattened in Carson val
| ley.
On their recent visit to California
+. Gaumann and H. Hogrefe. visited
many of the farming districts with
the view OF purchasing land. but were
unable to find anything such as thev
were in search of.
The Minden creamery shipped a
carload OF hogs to Goldtield Monday.
VIM. Dangberg, who has charge OF
this branch OF the business OF the
creamery. states that it was the fin
est lot OF porkers ever shipped from
this valley. The price received S
about ! cents and is lower than it has
been lor some time. The market has
been affected by holding up large
shipments consigned to foreign coun-
tries.
Monday William Lampe closed a
deal with d. Winkelman for the pur-
chase of his farm property in this
valley. The ranch is commonly
known as the Pettigrew place and is
one OF the oldest on the Fast Fork
1t contains about l25 acres of the
best cultivated and most productive
land i'll this valley and sold for lig-
ure in excess OF $4,000, it is said,
although the exact figures have not
been made public
The stockholders OF the Carson
Valley Farmers bank met at Minden
last Saturday and held the annual
election OF directors The election
resulted in the retention in office Of
the same board that has had charge
OF the deStinies of the bank since its
in rstitution. At the meeting a semi
annual dividend of Is cents per share
was declared during the year 1914,
making total OF $50 per share
