THIRD TRIAL SHOOT OF
GREEN HEAD CLUB TEAMS
Team Captained by Cress Victorious
Third Time. Members to Hold
Smoker

In accordance with the compila-
tion of figures by the mathematical
experts of the Green Head club we
must again chronicle the defeat of
the Harry Yetter corps of marks
men.
Losing has become a habit with
these young men and in order to
break the deadly monotony of the
tale it is said that Captain Yetter
has gone cunning for a rabbit the
left hind foot of this animal being
the trophy that may restore the
prestige of the team.
Last Sunday was the third at
tempt on the part of the losers to
regain their laurels but the merci-
less barrage fire of the enemy led by
Captain Harry Cress overwhelmed
them and when the order came to
cease firing a sorrowful party wend-
ed its way to the counting house to
ponder upon what might have been.
Incidental to the result is another
feast, this time to be in the nature
of a smoker, the same to be financed
by the losers.

BOY SCOUTS TO GIVE
DEMONSTRATION OF WORK
Youngsters Are Loyal and Willing
Workers and Deserve Support of
the Public

The Boy Scout demonstration
which promises to be among the
most interesting and educational
events ever seen in Fallon, will be
given Saturday night at the Rex
Theatre, commencing at p. IN.
1t was found necessary to trans
fer the demonstration from the Pa
vilion to the Theatre on account of
the poor seating capacity of the
former. Tickets will be 25c, the
same as previously announced.
The program will be of general
interest to the public and will consist
of the following.
Review of local activities-Asst
Scoutmaster Keneipp.
Presentation of Awards-Prof. r.
J. McKillop.
Two typical scout stunts, the
Chamber of Horrors and the Great
Mermen, who talk and eat under
water, will be presented.
Camping. This feature of the
program will show the scouts at
camp, and their activities before
breakfast
Athletics. Showing some of the
good, clean sports, which help to de-
ye.op the boy physically and in
which all participate at camp.
Signaling. Three kinds of signal
ing, using two entirely different
codes will be shown. Whistle, cleo
trio flash and semaphore.
First Aid Showing how. scouts
carry comrade With sprained ankle
and how they rescue d comrade from
room filled with gas or smoke, using
their coats for O stretcher when
nothing else is avilable, bandaging,
artificial respiration, etc.
boy Scout Work in the United
States" The program will close
with an illustrated lecture by Asst
Scoutmaster Keneipp, on this sub
jeet.
The boys assisted the government
in securing Liberty Loan applica-
tions, the Local Womans' Food Con-
seryation Committee in distributing
pledge cards, the Red Cross organi-
zation in various ways, the Y. NJ G..
A. In securing subscriptions. Into
all these things the boys entered
gladly without pay. The community
should get behind the boys. and sup
port them in every possible way, as
they do in other Nevada towns.
The expenses connected with the
public presentation of this demon
stration, are heavy, and besides, the
boys must feel that they are encour-
aged by the public, and you are
asked to show your interest by your
presence. No seats will be reserved
Have you bougth your ticket?

TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS OF
TAXATION With CITIZENS
Secretary of State Tax Commission
of Taxpayers Associations

F.. N. Fletcher, Secretary of the
Nevada Tax Commission, will be in
Fallon November 18th and 10th, for
the purpose of securing data for the
use of the Commission and of be-
coming more familiar with the work
of county officials having to do with
matters of taxation. He will visit
other counties in the immediate fu-
ture and hopes that one of the re-
suits of his trip about the State will
be a still further increase in the
spirit of cooperation now generally
existing between the county officials
and the Tax Commission.
MIR. Fletcher is a firm believer in
publicity for public business and a
strong advocate of the organization
of local taxpayers associations for
the purpose of investigating all mat
ters pertaining to taxation and to
public expenditure. Such organiza-
tions have been found exceedingly
useful in other states in curbing the
constantly increasing burden of tax
alton. If the citizens of Fallon so
desire, Mr.. Fletcher will be pleased
to meet with them and explain the
workings of these associations with
view to the formation of a local
organization and to discuss with
them soma of thp prnhle1Oa oT fay
alton in State and county.

COMMISSIONERS OF THREE
COUNTIES CONFER ON ROADS
.Jojnt Action Decided Upon to I'M
prove Route Via Lahontan and
Dayton to Carson City

Last Monday evening the commits
sioners of three counties-Ormsby
LYON and Churchill-met at the City
Hall to discuss the feasibility of CO.
operation and joint action in the i'm
proyement of the highway between
Fallon and the Capitol City.
In the party of visitors were Com
missioner Daugherty and Messrs
Cole. Walsh and Raycraft from Car
son city and Commissioner King of
Silver City. |. II. Kent. Local Con
sui of the Lincoln Highway, presided
at the meeting and the various ques-
tions involved in the proper routing.
signing and improvement Of the
route we're discussed in detail The
road from Fallon to Carson City, via
Lahontan and Dayton has recently
been incorporated In the Lincoln
Highway as an optional route for
transcontinental tourists and cuts
off about thirty miles of distance for
the traveller over the Placeryilo
route.
Commissioner King stated that
Lyon county stood ready TO perform
its part of the improvement at any
time lie stated that the desert
stretch is now in first-class condition
barring a few small washes and a
stretch of a couple of miles across
the fiat at the railroad crossing at
the water hole. Mr.. King offered
to pay all expenses of the work pro-
yided the Commissioners of this
county would loan the county trac-
tor and grader at q time when 1t was
not in use here.
Commissioners Benadum and Will
liams explained that they expected
TO do some work with the tractor
on the Hazen road within the next
few weeks or as soon as the winter
storms had moistened the ground
sufficiently to warrant operations
after which they would agree to pro
oeed along the route to L1hontan
and connect up at the Lyon county
line.
Commissioner Daugherty stated
that the ormsby county section va
ready in good condition and that
his county would in like manner at
tend to their end of the route.
The worst stretch of the route is
admittedly that between Leetevil'e
and the Lyon county line. Consider
able work will be necessary between
Lahontan west for about ten miles.
TIE meeting will doubtless be pro
ductive of tangible results, as the
utmost unanimlty OF sentiment was
expressed by all present as to the
desirability of cooperation by the
three counties in road improvement.

new SCHOOL BUILDING
WILL Be READY NEXT MONTH
Structure Will Take Rank as One of
the HandsOmest Public Build
ings i'm the West

The new High School building is
rapidly nearing completion. so much
progress having been made through
the past month as to encourage the
belief that the promise of contract
ors Caldwell & Son to have the
building ready December 5 may be
realized.
1t has reached the stage where
the beauty and dignity of its archi-
tectural lines can be appreciated and
for MANI years will maintain its
rank with the handsomest public
structures of the State.
The many visitors TO the building
during the past week have been pro-
nouneed in their praises of its out
lines and interior arrangement and
when the grounds surrounding il
are put in condition it will have a
setting proportionate to its merit.
The two sculptural panels placed
in either facade of the building edd
much to its beauty, the one on the
north corner representing Music and
that on the south Arts and Sciences
These are according to the design of
the Architects, Wilson & Lewis.
Tie room designed for the Ii
brary is commodious and cheerful
and excellently planned for case and
convenience.
Tie architects we're particu erly
fortunate in their choice of scace
and location for tho department Of
Domestic Science. the rooms being
of ample proportion and so situated
as to attract the sunlight through
the entire day. And as for the
plans for kitchen, pantry and class
room nothing apparently was over
looked that would tend toward the
highest efficiency.
The Commercial Department is
practically complete and shows a
room designed to give practica
demonstration of modern business
and banking methods.
The Manual Training department
is being finished to meet the latest
model for such an important course
in school work and eventually will
call for more space through the in
creasing interest in this field.
The auditorium will appeal to
everyone as of graceful lines and
suitable size, its seating capacity be-
ing about 700 which will meet local
requirement for some time.
While regretting, as all do, the
necessity that called for a modiflca-
tlon of the original plans, 1t may be
safely predicted that when the doors
of this building are thrown open for
the admission of the hundreds of
pupils the fair minded will declare
that in it the community has an edi-
fee splendidly adapted for its pur-
pose and in other ways one of which
its citizens may be proud.
