BIG JAZZ DANCE AT THE
REX TOMORROW NIGHT

Tomorrow evening dance will be
given at the Rex theatre music for
which will be furnished by Tony's
four-piece jazz orchestra of Reno.
This orchestra recently played for a
dance at VALLEY Springs as we'll as
at the Minden Inn and the dancers of
the community know exactly what to
expect tomorrow night, The manage
ment of the Rex Is doing everything
possible to make the dance an en-
joyable affair and from the fact that
1t will probably be the last big dance
to be held in Gardnervilie before the
summer season arrives, no doubt a
good sized crowd will be in atten-
dance. Midnight supper will be serv-
ed at the hall according to the an
nouncement of the management.

100 PER CENT NORMAL
PASTURAGE CONDITIONS

Tuolomne and Alpine are the only
counties credited by the State Board
of Agriculture with having 100 per
cent normal pasturage conditions this
year. Tuolomne alone is credited with
a 100 per cent alfalfa crop. Mono is
set down as the lowest in pasture
prospects, with but 25 per cent which
may be an erroneous guess. Pasture
average for the state is put at "a per
cent Estimate for Inyo is 81 per cent
pasturage, 80 per cent hay crop. This
county, with 32.70O acres of alfalfa.
is twelfth " that acreage, though sew
eral of those ranking higher in this
regard have but very few thousand
acres more planted in that crop
Assessor Borland says the Mono
figures are away understated; that the
feed in that county this year is at
least 75 per cent normal, and probably
more.

To BUILD LAND
Jewelers. HERE.

The Arendt Jensen company, who
recently closed a contract with the
patentee of one-man land leveler for
the exclusive manufacturing and sales
right for the state of Nevada and sew
eral California counties, are having
machine shop installed at the rear
of their store for the manufacture of
the Jewelers.. Machinery has been or
dered for the shop and is being in
stalled as fast as 1t arrives by Adolph
Rohlfs. former blacksmith of this
section, who will have the supervision
of the plant An electric press drill.
trip hammer. and steel saving ma
chine are being installed together with
other needed appliances required for
the building of the land Jewelers..
A lage number Of order have already
been booked for the Jewelers., which
are claimed to be the most satisfac-
tory land Jewelers. yet invented for
small and medium sized farms The
machine is so constructed that 1t can
be operated from the seat of trac-
tor, one man being able to operate
both machines. While the leveler is
not built on the massive plan of big
ger machines. it is made to stand up
under the most severe use and will
do the same work as machines cost
ing five times as much.
The Jensen company believes that
the leveler has a great future and
from the fact that orders are coming
in from farmers without solicitation
seems to back up their judgment.
With the exception of the Wheels the
entire machine will be built in the
shop now being assembled in Card
nerville.
