A certain farmer in this vicinity
owns a Ford. It is we'll known that
the gas from the exhaust Of the

This faHlmer takes q piece Of hose,

other end into the hole occupied by
the pocket gopher and-less 60

It 10 estimated that q gopher does
$25 worth of damage each year.
Ergo, less gophers, more money for

ter to be located in the new Elks
temple and under Manager Whaley
of the firm of Harding & Wnaley,
who also operate the Grand, many
will recall that some time ago a con-

Several names were put forward
but the name chosen was suggested
by Mayor Vandersluis, an ardent
member of the Elks lodge, the name
Elko being considered in good con-
formity with the name under which
the new structure will be known,

So, too, the handsome cigar store

of which Ralph Lycan will be the

the United Press regarding the re-

and he answered.:
You understand it is impossible
for me to discuss the facts definitely.
This is no more of plot than what

America to join the United States
against Germany year ago."
Zimmerman commented upon Am

carefully stated that the entire dis
cussion is based upon English re-
