MINSTRELS' WORK IN WORLD
Troubadours Led Mems Thoughts to
centleness Amid the Ferocity OF
the Middle Ages.

The troubadours, called trovatore in
Italy. originated In Provence, France.
These MINISTRIES Of the middle ages,
together with the practice Of chivalry,
helping to keep the world human at
rerIod when fighting and bloodshed oc-
cupied the minds Of men. The trou-
badOur was received with open arms
I'm the castles Of great mobiles and AT
the courts OF kings. He always knew
there would be place for him at the
table that he would have a generous
portion OF fowl roasted on the spit
and as many goblets Of wine as his
thirst demanded. One can imagine
the great hall lighted here and there
with torches In scenes. the huge fire
place ablaze: the lord of the castle
with his family in rich attire spark
ling with Jewels. and in the midst OF
all. the most important figure for the
moment the slender young troubadour
with his harp. He sings songs, words
and air OF his own composition. Some
of them are old folk tales gathered
up and put into verse. legend Of sur
passing feats Of valor, OF miraculous
prowess. Or they may pulsate with
the heart throbs OF that old. old. yet
ever new, subject OF love and perhaps
the young minstrel may steal an occa-
slonal glance at his lordship's prettl-
est daughter meanwhile.

Says Response As
sures Campaign
Campaign for Sugar Beet Acreage
For Next Season Results in
Satisfactory Returns

Fred Hinze, of the company own.
ing the Fallon sugar factory, who
has been engaged for several weeks
in the work of determining the
amount of acreage farmers will cul-
tivate to sugar beets next year, an
enterprise that must have definite
ness in advance of deciding whether
the Fal1on factory shall be operat-
ed next year, has succeeded in get
ting beet growing contracts from
project land owners totaling 100
acres. The amount generally deem
ed necessary in order to make the
revival of the industry here certain
is said to be in the neighborhood of
1000 acres and ii is Mr.. HINES Q
opinion that he will succeed in get
ting this acreage within the next
few weeks.
A number of the project land
owners having large bodies of land
favor the resumption of beet sugar
making here but are loath TO affix
their names to contracts in advance
of the settlement of the labor ques-
tion as it will affect the care of the
crops to be planted, grown and har-
vested. Japanese are generally
deemed the logical class of workers
to attract here and the decision of
local interest to cooperate with the
factory management in the intro
duction of the Jap will result, said
Mr.. Hinze, in the speedy signing up
of the necessary acreage in this val
ley that will in turn insure Fallon
a place in the list of sugar produc-
ing towns.

GASOLINE PUMPS COST
CITY $1,000 EACH DAY

The city authorities have been
pumping around 100000 gallons Of
water daily throughout the entire
period during which the town was
without electrical service. In order
to do this it was necessary to in
stall gasoline engines of sufficient
power to adequately handle the sit
uation. AS a result of the meas
ures adopted by the citys oxecu-
tives sufficient water was on hand
at all times to meet local needs,
150 gallons being sent into the
mains every "a hours for each man,
woman and child in Fallon. The
expedient resorted to to bridge the
gap oceasioned by the cessation of
electrical service cost the town 5
taxpayers around 500 per day.

TIE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH
Modern Version J


By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
and Charming Pollock
With apologies to Geo. S. spreyer
Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, wealthy man is he,
With diamonds on his hands;
And the bracelets sported by his
wife
Are broad as iron bands.
HIS roll is crisp, and green, and
thick,
He calls his chauffeur Dan;
His brow is dry beneath a high
Priced hat that shades his pam
And he looks the whole world in
the face, 81
And sasses any man.
Week in, week out, from ten till five
He hears the hooters blow;
Automobiles, with wabbly wheels,
That do not want to go,
Pay tribute to his doubtful skill
And the tributes never low
lie drives to town most ey'ry eve,
And goes out with the boys;
He hears the latest Jazz with meals,
He hears the soubrette's voice
Singing in the cabaret,
And ii makes his heart rejoice.
Toiling when there's naught else to
do,
onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees him open shop,
And very promptly close;
Something attempted. something
done,
Has earned a nights repese.
Thanks, thanks to thee, nay worthy
friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught
Thus in job that serves the mob
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Since now we pay so much a day
For ev'rything but thought!

c. L. CIRAC WILL BUILD
MACHINE SHOP ON COAST

G. Z. Cirac, who together with
his brother, G.. c., invented and
perfected the Cirac auto reverse
control, an appliance that is now
being considered as part of the
mechanical equipment of all cars
turned out by the General Motors
Company. has announced that the
corporation owning the patent will
shortly sell $4,000 of the stock of
the corporation at the par value of
S1.00 per share, using the proceeds
to erect and equip a machine shop
in San Francisco where the control
will be manufactured and installed
on all cars the owners of which
deem the invention of value and
these include every man who has
seen it in operation. 1t is so dis
tinctly life saving appurtenant
when attached to an automobile
manufacturers and made unit in
the equipment of every car manu-
faetured.
Thousands of lives have been
lost through the failure of drivers
to control their cars. The most
frequent cause of disaster are de-
feetive brakes With the reverse
control installed the usual braking
methods become obsolete.
1t is certain that the corpora
tion's activities will result in a gem
eral use of the control and that
from out of this will grow de-
mand that will compel auto manu-
faeturers everywhere TO use this
safety appliance.
