showed that it was three minutes
ahead of the time at the American
National Bank.
The Western Union was then tried,

and it was, in reality, but 10 minutes

HAS AGENCY FOR
FAMOUS FORD
TRACTOR

julius Huegel, the irrepressible, is
lin the game again in having added to
his business interests the agency for
the famous Ford Tractor. Br. Huegel
saw the possibilities OF the famous
machine when it was first upon the
market and through the labors of
Attorney Montrose was able to secure
the agency for the tractors in Douglas
|county. One of the tractors is now on
the way for Mr.. Heugel to use as
demonstration and he is soon to be
travelling over the highways and by
ways doing the work for the farmers
in plowing their land and hauling their
crops to market just to show what can
be done with the little machine. Mr..
loaded with hay together at the Henry
Elges ranch and haul them to the de-
pot quicker, easier and with less ex-
pense and labor than can be done with
teams and 1t is expected he will be
given the chance to make his boasts
good. If the machine does half what
the local agent claims for them. they
are surely boon to the farmers and
within short time horse will be
cnrio in this section. The Ford
tractor is proving a wonder in the
middle west and there is on reason
why is should not prove as valuable
here The price is within the reach
of all and it is someting well worth
having. The local agent stated here
in theoffice yesterday that he would
like to hitch his machine to our print
ing press some day and turn the
paper out for us. He is surely con-
fident that the machine is fully as good
as his bread, and that is proven.

REGISTRATION
VERY L|GHT

Reports from different election pre-
cincts in Douglas county are to the
effect that registration for the primary
election to be held on August Sth, Is
very slow. In Mottsyille precinct
practically no one had registered up to
Monday while conditions at Genoa
is a little better. In East Fork pre-
cinct the ladies are registering heavier
than the men. and from present con-
ditions will control the primary cleo
tion, unless the men wake up and get
busy
However, everything is fair in war
and politics, and as "Quelquefois" says
'if our success was at stake, We would
violate the neutrality of heaven ITSELF
Believing in this, present conditions
would indicate that it is no crime to
register as Democrat il you happen
TO bea Republican, or vice versa as the
case may be, In order to fight a
candidate in the primary election.
Although registration is slow at this
time, as election draws near, the
agents will undoubtedly be kept quite
busy. Both Norcross and Platt will
have delegates in the field as will
McCarran and Pittman. These candi-
dats for the Republican and Demo-
cratic nominations for United Senator,
are out to win and their friends are
helping them in every possible way.

To Hold Canning
Demonstration

Two weeks from today. on Friday,
August 4th there will be held at the
Douglas County High School demon
stration which every lady In Douglas
County ought to attend, If she possibly
can / take this oportunity OF espec-
tally urging every lady to be present,
because l believe that the demon
strations in canning fruits. and the
lectures on saving and making use of
waste, will be of interest to her as a
home-keeper, and enable her to save
money.
This demonstration is going to be
something unusual and very worth
while. 1t is going~to be conduted by
Miss Davis and Barker of the Univer-
sity of Nevada. These ladies have for
the past three months been conducting
experiment with all kinds and sizes
of tin cans, glass jars, tee for canning
fruits and vegetables. They have
been using a large canning machine.
the very latest device for canning.
With this machine as high as 40 lbs
pressure is used; it is time, labor
and money saver. The university
ladies will show how to operate it and
demonstrate to their audience the en-
tire process of canning. We expect
to secure one of these machines for
our club girls in Douglas county.
