1920 County Fair
Was Gratifying
Success
While Inclement Weather Marked
the Three Days, Attendance Ex-
ceeded Expectations

The termination of the Churchill
county fair Friday evening followed
a three-day meeting that can onl,
be denominated complete success
Beset with unfavorable weather
throughout the entire period the
paid admissions at the exhibit pa
yilion on Williams avenue exceeded
expectations, while the several rae
ing events at the track north of Fal.
Ion attracted large crowds that are
enthusiastic in praise of the sport
ing events put forward. Neighbor-
hood rivalry was keen throughout
the progress of the fair friendly
yet keen competition being fea-
ture characterizing the several pro-
ject neighborhood efforts.
The fair offered the utmost retro
spection for those who attended for
1t reflected in the fullest sense the
results of seasons work. 1t point
ed the way to a more diverse crop
production for many things were ex-
hibited that are not generally
grown on the farms of this project.
Yet there was no rice sample on
display; neither was there sample
of hops. There we're many other
products that return a fair measure
of profit that were missing from the
isplays-products that can be ma
tured here in fullest perfection. But
many splendid specimens were on
hand that delighted and amazed.
Progressive farming was exempli-
fed in a most commendable sense
and after all farming Is the single
thing that moved Uncle Sam to in
stitute his nine million dollar farm
in this valley and could the moving
spirits of this great federal irriga-
ton enterprise have been present
and viewed the marvellous epitome
of agricultural results here none
would have questioned the wisdom
OF the expenditure.
Districts were represented this
year that have come on the map in
recent times. Over in the Soda
Lake neighborhood, much of which
is comparatively new and virgin
came an exhibit that was tempting
TO the homeseeker who can under
stand at glance land possibility
when he sees grouped attractively
the products of the soil. New
things, not previously shown by our
farmers came from the several other
districts, which makes us know that
as time goes along the ultimate
range of possible farm production
will finally have been achieved.

any other way.
Cranmer said that he threw the
rife stolen from the Morgan place
into the Carson river when lack of
ammunition for il made the weapon
useless and that he pursued an aim
less course after leaving the North

and serving his material wants by
breaking into cabins during the day

John Peterson, at the Salt Wells
station Randall as his name
when questioned, his purpose being
to hide his identity, but that he did
not know that he was pursued and
when he was accosted by Jim Smith
at the Ell Petrolio cabin Monday
morning he did not suspect that he
was to be taken into custody by an
officer of the law until afterward.
He said that he had not made UP
his mind to fire upon pursuers.
Cranmer has in his possession
certain of the personal effects of a
brother, said to be his only relative
In this country, who was killed as !
member of the American forces or
the west front in France. Other
relatives live in Poland. he said.

the we'll. When the previous dis
covery was made in late April we
set about feverishly to place our

several instances broke and the one

is generally agreed that the oil in

this has been disputed. Likewise
there is a divergence of opinion re-

There remains simply one thing
and that is an absolute determine

the drilling of another and larger

MISS CRETCHER CLOSES
 A SUCCESSFUL CLASS.

Miss Lettie Gretchen of the Home Service Department of the American Red Cross, closed a most profitable course of instruction in Home Nurs- ing on last Tuesday.
 For the past three weeks she has taught three classes a day. Monday afternoon was spent in practical demonctra- tion in the Care of the Sick, and on Tuesday afternoon, be- tween thirty and forty women and girls took the final exam ination in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick.
 This course of lessons will be a great benefit, not only to the members of the class, but to the community at large. It is very much to be regretted that all those who joined the. class could not have com pleted the course. We hope. to organize other classes later, and hope that all who can nossibly do so, will avail themselves of this opportun- ity.
 Miss Gretchen has made Nursing and Social Service Work her life study, and has conducted clinics in a number of our southwestern cities and has spent a number of years in the work in the Phillipine Islands. She has been in the service of the Red Cross since the beginning of the war, and is now helping in the Home Service Past War Campaign of Preventive Medicine. She came here directly from Cot ton Plant, where she gave a six weeks course.
 Miss Gretchen needs no further recommendation other than her own charming per sonality and the enthusiastic endowment of her entire class.
 The Red Cross may send out other instructors as good, but they can send no one bet ter qualified for the work.
