WESTERN MEAT TO ABSORB
NEVADA PACK, IS RUMOR

A we'll authenticated rumor is cur
rent this week that the holdings of
the Nevada Packing Co., of Reno are
about to be absorbed by the Western
Meat Co., of San Francisco. The re-
cent visit of certain prominent peo-
pie identified with the latter con-
Germ to Fallon 10 said to have been
one of the straws showing the direc-
ton of the wind. There has been
more or less indication of a change
being imminent for several weeks
but the official announcement may be
looked for at any time in the near
future. Western Meat is branching
out in many directions and other de-
velopments of the plan of expansion
are looked for.

COYOTES CHICKEN APPETITE
PROVES FATAL AT HAzEN

A coyote attracted by the chickens
belonging TO an S. p brakeman at
IIazen came to grief in consequence
last week. The family were aroused
by a great hutter in the yard and
sailed forth to find the coyote busy
in chasing a chicken breakfast The
family bulldog, a valued pedigree
animal joined in the chase after the
maraudcr ard was bitten for his in
reference. Hearing the commotion
an employee of the ore sampling
works came out with his trusty gun
and soon ended the misdirected life
og the wouldbe chicken thief.
Whether the brute was affected with
rabies or not has not been deter
minef but the dog is held under
close observation.

Effects OF WOhEN'S VOTE
FELT IN LOCAL ELECTION

The number OF woman voters
registered in Fallon for the general
election YVES 353. As better than
90 per cent of the total registered
vote was cast 1t is fair to assume
that $40 of the newly enfranchised
put in their ballots for their choice
Of candidates How these were di-
vided can be approximately deter
mined from g comparison with the
figures of the 1914 election. The
number of woman voters in the out
side districts could not be learned.
In that contest the vote in
Churchill county for United States
Senator was: Newlands 406, Platt
$50, Miller 361.
This year Pittman received 645,
Platt 443 and Miller AIS. Proper
tionately, therefore Key Pittman re-
ceived more than twice as many OF
the new votes as Platt and Miller
combined.
Platt's vote is SO more than in
1914, Miller gained 81 while Pitt
man received 239 more than New
lands.
The peculiar political methods of
Miss Anne Martin, the tour of the
silk stocking special" and resent
ment against receiving instructions
from the effete East contributed to
the result.

COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR
FIREWORKS PROGRAM BEFORE

A large quantity of pyrotechnic
material ordered for the Democrats
celebration last Saturday night were
delayed in shipment so that the
stuff was not available for the "big
noise" The fireworks came in on
Monday and the problem arose;
what to do with them. 1t was
speedily solved.
Field Marshal Charles Linder hit
upon another of his happy ideas and
decided they will do nicely for July
4. next. So they will be put in "cold
storage" and Charley has announced
tho biggest Fourth celebration ever
pulled off in Fallon--and 1t may be
bigger than that These fireworks
will be the nucleus Of what may be
carload, or less, of noise and IL
Elimination makers, and Fallon will
show the world what she can do in
the way of celebrating a National
fete day.
There will be no Democrats, no
Republicans-oniy Nevadans, Fal-
lonians. Americans who will join as
citizens In making the day memoir
able hereabouts.
That Linder man is sure some
enthusiastic hustler and knows how
to put "doins" across.

BOB DOUGLASS GETS BACK
AT HIS FRIEND WINCFIELD

During the race meeting at the
State fair this fall Bob Douglass got
in a few dollars on the wrong side of
Il race whereby George Wingfeld
profiteds and he has not refrained
from joshing Bob about the fact
ever since.
Last week Bob sent George a neat
little card adorned in red ink with
the following:
How did you like Wilson's ride
on Charley? 1t was a dandy race
and Pari Mutuels paid five for one;
did you have anything DOWN."
As George had his dough up on

PRODUCTS ARE TO
Make FALLON
FAMOUS
INCREASE THE LIST AND BOOST
THEM ALL, AND THIS DISTRICT
WILL PROSPER GREATLY.

Fallon district produces all the
elements necessary to great devel-
opment, mighty expansion, for
there is abundant room under the
Truckee-Carson project for large
increase in acreage, while intensive
farming will more than double the
present yield. The name of Fallon
is already widely known through the
excellence of its productions, and is
daily being advertised by the goods
manufactured here that bear the
Fallon label.
The creamery was first to chal-
lenge outside attention through the
excellence of its output Fallon but
ter has such a reputation today that
INSCRIPTIONS dealers are taking ad
vantage of it by using the word
"Fallon" as brand. They cannot
hurt the business, however. because
nobody will be fooled twice by the
substitution.
The Fallon flour mill is putting
out grade of cereal products today
that will enhance the value of the
name Fallon, wherever the articles
are used.
Fallon potatoes are now being
shipped to Missouri river points and
bringing a fancy price on their SUI
perior quality. The wider the mar
ket reputation, the better prices will
be obtained in years when prices are
low and quality counts.
Fallon honey is hereafter to bear
the Fallon label, and the splendid
quality will carry the fame of our
Alfalfa Dew" far and wide.
No better celery is grown any
where than in the vicinity of this
city and one day the shipments will
be by trainload, rather than by scat
tered car lots.
Fallon canteloupes are already
famous for quality but the growers
have not yet solved the problem of
a reliable crop each year. That will
be done, sooner or later, for the prof
its are tempting.
About 10000 Fallon turkeys will
find a good market this year and the
birds raised in this vicinity are so
noticeably superior that top prices
will be obtained hereafter, paid in
spot cash on the ground. There is
no reason why Fallon should not
market 100000 per annum instead
of 10000.
The stimulus given the beet sug
ar industry by the tempting prices
offered for beets in 1917 will doubt
less result in putting the industry
on a permanent basis, and the acre
age can be more than trebled advan-
tageously.
A factory has recently been start
ed here for the manufacture of ci-
gars and the quality of the output
is destined to create a large demand
for "Fallon Cigars"
The list of possibilities is a large
one and there is abundant opportun-
ity for success in the above and 9TH
er lines. We have the soil, climate
and water, and all that is necessary
to induce large number of the right
sort of people to join as in exploiting
the splendid natural resources is ju-
dicious publicity.
You cannat say too much for Fall
Ion, nor say 1t too often.

Left For New Home

John p. Williams and family de-

S|DEL|GHTS ON THE
RECENT VOTE
IN NEVADA
TOTAL OF NEARLY 900 BAL
LOTS PRESENTS MANY CHANG
ES IN STATE LINEUP.

Incomplete returns totaling 27,-
sS7 ballots give indications of about
10000 votes polled in Nevada at the
general election. From the results
thus far analyzed 1t is believed that
the Republicans will control the next
session of the state senate, while
Democrats will have 20 or more out
of the 81 seats in the assembly.
The returns concerning regents of
the state university have for some
reason been very slow in arriving.
and many of them are locked in the
ballot boxes. no transcript having
been sent by the precinct officials.
On the face of those officially recog-
nized Republicans were elected to
all vacancies on the Board.
Congressman Roberts has plu-
atty over +. +. Caine exceeding
1900 which figure will be approx
mately correct when all ballots are
eounted.
Judge Sanders has a comfortable
lead over Barney Moran for the Su-
pfeme bench from all known figures
II Is interesting to compare the
vote for United States Senator with
the totals of 1914.
Senator Pittman is credited with
1920 votes which is 2,ss5 more
than that received by Senator New
lands In 1914.
Sam Plat received 9,214 this
rear. an increase OF 1.176 over his
vote two years ago, but this was l.
74s less than Pittman's vote in 1916.
Grant Millers total of 7.71o was
an increase of 2.259 over his vote OF
1914, but 1,50a less than Platt's
figure this year, and 3.253 less than
Pittman's.
The Republicans chose to make
the land grant bill the main issue of
the Nevada campaign. together with
the fight on President Wilson, so
naturally the erux OF the contention
was In the senatorial contest The
answer OF the people to the allega-
,ions of the Republican plaintiffs:
platt. Miller, Anne Martin ct al was
q plurality for President Wilson of
5000, (or moro) and the above
handsome vote for Senator Pittman.
In Churchill county there are few
alterations to make in the figures
given in last weeks issue, except the
addition of White Rock precinct.
President Wilson's plurality was
29s and that of Senator Pittman
zoo. e. e. caine lost to Roberts by
only 20 votes. whereas Roberts beat
fowler l22 votes in 1914.
Mark wildes' plurality. over Con

Frank G. Hough. Democrat had
plurality OF 691 votes over his Soc
ialist opponent for the short term,
member OF the County Board of Ed
ucatlon. A. l.. Haights plurality for
the long term membership was oO2.
For Public Administrator, the re-
turns gave G. w. Coverston one ID
plurality over w. F. Kaiser, his Re-
publican opponent. Mr.. Coyerston
made no effort to win the office,
simply allowing his name to stand.

by G57 to 362.
The high school bonds carried by

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
tralize Irritating Acids-SpIendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck Of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it. because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source OF irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

LIQUOR MEMS ARGUMENT.

Replying to the paid orators of the
saloon who declare that If it was not
intended that men should drink al
coholic liquor God would not have
created the rye, the corn, etc., from
which it is manufactured, the Ameri-
can Issue says: "They might declare
that If God had not intended men to
drink booze, he would not have Gre
ated the wood that builds the saloon,
the brass in the fixtures, the quartz
melted into the goblet or the iron
which, molten, makes the stove. They
might carry the argument farther and
say that If God had not intended men
to drink alcoho, that he would not
have created the mouth with which
to imbibe. Until it can be shown that
God created mans tongue so that
he could lie and hands that he might
steal. there is not very much in the
argument that the Creator made corn
and rye that men might make alco-
hol therefroD1 ror the purpose Of pois-
oning themselves and their fellowmen
for profit"
