tricts. On land in that vicinity they
said. that had been unproductive for
several years, very excellent crops
were harvested last year and the
prospects are encouraging for this
year.
The creation OF such district here
Will practically double in farming
land and since the cost Of drainage is
only between $40 and $40 per acre,
the direct benefits are apparent.
The land to be drained, It is said,

tically unproducive save for poor
salt grass pasture.
All present at the meeting voted for

COLLEGE STUDENTS
TOURING ON JAZZ

Six college boys of Lincoln. Neb,
styling themselves the southern Rag
o. Jazz band. started out upon their
graduation in 1919 to gather little
worldly experience and see America
first.
Equipped with nice bright diplomas
denoting the fact that two Of them
were bachelors of science, two were
bachelors of art, one a doctor of
philosophy and the sixth a civil en-
gineer, aside from which they pos
sessed naught but a thirst for gold, a
universe of ambition and an inordi-
nate talent for jazz
1t was their ability to dispense jazz
music which kept them in funds, en-
abling them to finish their college
courses. The co-eds went wild over
their syncopation and it was but
necessary to announce the Rag o
Jazziacs would play to assure dance
1oor the full test of its strength.
These six boys started out to play
their way around the country before
entering into their careers, so with
their reputation preceding them
everywhere they visited most every
eity in Nebraska, Utah, Colorado and
california While playing in San
francisco their music secured an en-
gagement in Honolulu. where for
hree months they delighted the ma
ives of Hawaii with their peppy har.
monies, defying all rules of music,
breaking laws of counter melody and
creating minor strains that thrilled
and started nerves jangling in thf
eet that compelled dancing.
Manager Oastler. hearing that the
boys. whose names have filled the
theatrical papers for months. were
IN their way back from the Islands
and en- route to Denver where they
are engaged to play a sixty-day con
tract at the Albany hotel, wired them
and made them an offer for one night
in Winnemucca which they found il
impossible to refuse, and so they viii
stop over on Thursday night to allow
Winnemuccans to dance. shfriinnfg
and foxy-trot to the most delightful
music ever heard in the Nixon.
The orchestra is composed of piano
violin. saxophone, banjo. trombone
and drums-the best possible instru-
mentation for Jazz all the way--and
each is an artist. The dance Will
start Thursday night at $50.

Harry Oastler is unusually full of
energy these days. Right now he is
all worked up to make a big success
Of the Labor Day carnival which is to
he held for the benefit of the Volun-
teer Fire Departments accident fund.
No carnival is success without a
wheel of fortune, nor could wheel
booth succeed without some kewpe
dolls to give away. Heretofore il was
the custom to give the winning num-
ber a nude or painted kewpie, but this
sort of offended Harry's proprieties
so he conveived an idea to see that
the kewpie dolls should not only be
clothed, but modishly gowned. He
called upon Mrs. Oastler to assist
him, but one assistant did not pro-
duce results rapidly enough to satisfy
the dynamic Harry, so he has issued
a call TO all ladies of Winnemucca to
help make presentable all of the dolls
TO be given away Labor Day. Blu
that their work be not entirely
labor of love he has made as an in
centive the offer of prize of a sixty
day free admission ticket to the thea
tre for the best dressed doll.
The ladies caught the idea and fe'
heartily into the spirit of the contes
and several dozen dolls have bee,
given out for longerie. and filigree, @
whatever name it is that female at
tire responds to. The dolls can b,
had at the theatre for the asking, ana
one person may make as many entries
as they desire.
Three prominent local ladies vii
be asked to judge the contest fror

night of September /. which will in
