Station, has been conducting rather
unusua. advertising campaign during

of the Yerington Times and also on
the screen at the Granada Theatre,
Mr.. Newcombe has offered reward
of $250to anyone who found dissat-
isfied user Of Fisk Red Top tires.
As a result the ads. the small boy
population of the city has traced
out every automobile wearing the
distinctive Red Tops, but have been
unsuccessful i'll their efforts to find
man whose testimony would en-
able them to collect the reward at
the Exide Shop. incidentally, Mr..
Newcombe is convinced that advcr-
tisements in The Times are read by
practically the whole population of
Lyon County, as he has been kept
busy answering inquiries as to the
result of his reward offer.

place in his large late model Ford

IMPORTANT SCHOOL
MEETING TONIGHT

A meeting of interest to every faith
er and mother on School Consoli-
dation will be held tonight at the
Rink Hall, Yerington, at $50 o'clock.
The purpose Of the meeting will be
to consolidate the Plummer, Perry,
Barrett and Saunders schools with
Yerington.
The meeting will be addressed by
District Supt. Burr, Prof Bleasdale
and State Supt. w. J Hunting con
cerning consolidation. Ralph Bea-
man will present complete data on
the cost of operation of schools in
Mason Valley last year and the
value of taxable property
Mrs. Grimmer will entertain with
a singing class.
At the school consolidation meet
ing held Saturday night at the Bar
rett school under the auspicces OF
the South End Farm Bureau Com
munity, the members voted unani-
mously for consolidation at Iering-
ton.
The school consolidation commit
tee reported on their trip to Fal!on
where they visited the consolidated
schools. the trustees and the parents.
Mr.. c. c. Perry and Mr. James
Hilbum, who made the trip both re-
ported that previous to the visit they
were bitterly opposed to consolida-
ton. but when they got there and
saw the advantages the Fallon child
ren had it opened their eyes"
The committee found that Fallon
is actually operating its consolidated
schools at less expense than it took
to maintain rural schools. They
operate four automobiles at cost of
$3.50 per month. Their taxable
property there is approximately the
same as the taxable property here.
The inclosed motor trucks are opcr-
atcd on schedule: the children have
set time to leave IN the morning
and leave the school at specified
hour in the evening
The recitation period is increased
from five minutes to one hour The
children are from 10 to Is per cent
ahead of other rural children of the
same age
