rolled in the course have establish
ed at Yerington a Free Market.
Aided by the Civic Department of
the Women's Club. twelve stands
have been erected and Free Mar
ket" is conducted every Saturday

Parker house rolls. bread, cottage
cheese are offered for sale and are
sold, by the Home Economics girls,
while the boys and girls of the AMI
NAL Husbandry and Gardening
Clubs find ready market for their
chickens, rabbits, butter milk, and
other products of the farm and
garden.
That the Free Market is not an
experiment is shown by the fact that
one child in one day totalled $500
from the sale of pansies and cheese.
Mrs. R. l.. Waggoner, chairman
of the work, in her report to the
club states, "The Junior Free Mar
ket promises to be of lasting benefit
to the young people of our commun-
ity, and much credit is due the uni
versity for the work done by them"
A continuous and active record of

bitches in the vicinity of Lamoille
can now be kept as the result of the
shipping to the irrigation projects
in that locality of II water state reg
listers.
The registers were shipped by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture following investigations
made by engineers from the Uniyer-
sity of Nevada and the State engi-
neers concluded in the recommended
tion of the work which is destined to
make this district an agricultural
and irrigation feature of the State.
Engineers from the university,

State, are planning a series of de-
velopment work in various parts of
Nevada which give indication of
making the silver State rank among
/ the agricultural units of the ma
ton. Should success crown their
efforts, which appear very feasible,
Neyada's mountains and hills will
be the worlds big silver and gold
producer, while her valleys and
plains will produce a golden agricul-
tural harvest rivalling the famed
valley OF the Nile.
While countless young people are
at the seashore lakeside, in the
points, 123 students are busily en-
gagged at the University of Nevada
taking the summer course and ben
efitting themselves for the better
things in life. Thirteen of the stu
dents are men preparing and per
fecting themselves for work to be
taken up by them in the winter
months.
Aiding the competent faculty of
the university are two instructors
from the University of Utah. These
latter two are coaching several
teachers in methods of instruction.
Among the studies being taken

Psychology, United States History,
English, Principals of Teaching,
English Literature, School Manage
ment Civics, Algebra, Physiology,
Botany, Manual Arts and other
branches or art.
One of the busiest places at the
University of Nevada, where 12S
students are attending summer ses-
sion, is the art department.
Under competent instruction "a
students are taking a general art
course which will fit them to instruct
in light and shadow harmony; ap-
plication of color harmony and de-
sign.
During their studies several Of
the students have painted several
very clever landscapes. The work
/ being done in this branch of the
| University summer school indicates
that all of the artists do not come
from the eastern colleges.
Several young lady students have
become very clever at wood carving
and unique designs in taborets,
wood utensils and other articles are
being designed.
