WAGES To Be
LOWERED SOON

At meeting of the stockmen and
land owners held at Minden Wednes-
day afternoon an agreement was
reached whereby the wages of sheep
herders will be cut from .$115 to $50
per month and the wages of farm
help from $3.50 and $4OO to $3.50 per
day. 1t is announced that the new
wage scale will be put into effect on
the first of December.
The action Of the stockmen and
farmers comes as natural conse-
quence of market conditions which
are on downward trend and has
been for the past several months.
Sheepmen have been hard hit by the
deplorable market condition of wool
aud the future of that business is in
deed problematical at this time. With
falling prices and the cutting of pro-
fits to the producers, the determined
action to cut expenses is a natural
consequence.

LIVESTOCK OWNERS SHOULD

Owners of live stock brands should
not overlook the fact that they must
re-record on or before December 81.
Quite Q number of stock owners in
this county have attended to this i'm
portant legal requirement, but there
are many owners who have not yet
recorded their brands and marks.
The law requfes that cattle own
ers in order to keep their brands.
must record one every five years, and
II this is not done their right to the
use of them ceases.
The period for the past five years
will end on December 31st of this
year and cattlemen must re-record
their brands before that date. All
that is required to record brand is
to secure form from the county re-
corder on which will be found all the
information that is necessary. In ad-
dition to this an actual burning of
the brand upon piece of leather must
be filed as specimen.

HOWARD BROTHERS ISSUE 4
FALL AND WINTER CATALOG

For the second time this year
Howard Bros. the enterprising mer-
chandising firm of Gardnerville. has
issued catalogue or price list which
is being mailed this week to customers
residing in the territory adjacent to
the town. The catalogue cotains
twelve pages liz by II inches and
gives prices on practically every line
carried by them.
Their first price list was issued
last May and while at first consider
able doubt existed as to the result of
the experiment, 1t was but a few days
when orders began pouring In upon
the firm and have continued through
ut the season. Many inquiries have
been received lately as to whether
fall catalogue was to be issued ard
to satisfy the demand, the new lis; has
been issued. Some of the first oata-
logues issued by Howard Bros. found
their way to Inyon county, Cal, and
from the fact that the local firm meets
Sacramento prices on groceries and
other lines. they were able to fill ord
ers for residents of that section.

SIMMONS SAYS HELP
TIE SNAIL MERCHANTS

W. IL. Simmons, a member of the
public service commission and head of
one OF the largest wholesale houses In
Reno, in talking over the drop In
prices had the following to say says
the Gazette:
THE people of this state, as in other
sections, will have to use lot of judg-
ment If they wish to avert disaster to
many Of their local merchants. The
local merchant has had to carry a
stock that has cost him much more
than he ever paid before. This will
have to be paid for, and while he will
reduce his prices the movement will
have to be gradual.
The public will not buy on a de-
clining market, as has been proved
over and over again A rising market
always brings out buyers. they fear
ing that goods will go higher; but a
declining market works to the contra
ry, as the purchaser always figures
that a lower notch will be found.
Take sugar for instance. Two
months ago | hardly dared come to
Carson, as everyone | met wanted TO
know what was the matter with sugar.
They all wanted II. and the price was
close TO thirty cents a pound. People
who bought sacks of-sugar at that
price are contented with a few pounds
now. and where we ordered carloads
we now take a less amount. The
same Is true of rice and other necess-
tiles that were at the high peak of pri-
ces. AT the same time | did not tell
the people that our firm lost $4,000
on one shipment of sugar, as it drop
ped in price In transit and We stood
the loss. We were also caught in the
slump in rice. while coffee also took
nick in the profits. Other articles
have been marked down as the market
falls, and will continue to be reduced
as the prices tumble.
1T is the small merchant of this
state who Is going to need the indnl-
gence of the public, aud If the public
will give him chance he will weather
the storm that is already breaking a.
bout him.

Join the Red
Cross and
Help Cause

III any man or woman i'm our COM
munity fails to be approached to re-
new or take out a membership in the
American Red Cross ii will be an over
sight which the local Red Cross work
ers will regret. Anyone who has
watched the operation of the Red
Cross in time of emergency--war or
peace-ean give innumerable reasons
why every adult citizen should take
out Red Cross membership.
Without reviewing what the Red
Cross has done In this community and
on this coast. we urge the people to
make 1t one hundred percent roll
call. Such an appreciation and conf
denee are like bread cast upon the
water and will return after many
days and bring with II a blessing to
the community.
The Red Cross never fails" is a
quotation from the pen OF one of the
leaders In Federal Relief Agencies in
tne racine coast states. IL Is an ex-
preston that has been repeated time
and time again by the doughboy on
the field. the wounded in tho hospital,
their dependents at home and the
many others who have reason to look
upon the American Red Cross as "Still
the Greatest Mother In the World"
The time for renewing Red Cross
membership Ii now. Commencing
last Monday, November %. and until
Thanksgiving Day. November rs, local
Red Cross workers will seek to enroll
a one hundred per cent membership
of the adult population. Will you
answer "here?"

CELEBRATION FAVORED By
PEOPLE OF BOTH TOWNS

The suggestion made by this paper
recently that celebration of some
kind should be held to acknowledge
our appreciation for the highway I'm
provement in this community, has re-
received favor at both Minden and
Gardnerville. An automobile parade
from one end Of the highway to the
other. public speaking. some band
music and the like are being talked
of. but to get the ball rolling It would
probably be right and proper for the
business men of Minden and Gardner
vile to get together and arrange for
the celebration.
We have the promise of some good
weather and date could be arrang-
ed. A week from tomorrow would be
about the right time. Let's get busy
and give evidence of little honest
to-goodness life.

BEING URGED

The commissioners of Douglas
county are contemplating the under
taking of concreting the county road
in front of the high school to join the
new paved highway. thus bringing
about desired improvement that will
be appreciated by everyone who has
interest in the welfare of the local
school.
The state highway department has
offered to furnish the cement at a very
low cost, the county has on hand
nearly enough crushed rock to COM
plete the job, while Bishop & Girls
comb have made a close price on the
laying of the concrete.
From the fact that a large number
OF students of the school are from the
Valley, driving to school in ANTONIO
biles, and that-the street In front of
the building is very low and a mud
hole after every storm. the work con-
templated by the commissioners
should received the hearty support of
the people of this community and we
believe it has.
The cost is not great and the good
that will result will be of much bene-
fit to everybody in this section.
The board of commissioners should
not hesitate in ordering the work
done.
