Of course, it's alright to shop
arounda bit if you like, but
why not let the other fellow
make it easier for you by
doing a little shopping after
your dollar by showing you
what you want and where
you can get most of it for
your money.
It's a great idea, once you
you get the hang of it, and
here's how!
Right in this paper you'll
find dozens of advertise

year-but the point is that
these merchants are coming
to you, looking for your dol
lar and offering the best they
have to get it.
You'll find that by reading
the advertisements consist
emily today and every week,
you can increase the value
TO yourself---of every dol
lar you have to spend. The
things you see advertised
are almost invariably as re-
presented. The advertisers
statements are usually safer
to trust than your own judge
ment. Advertised misrepre-

JUST A FEW REASONS WHY
MARY PICkFORD IS GLAD

Most people will be led to believe
that Mary Pickford has had more to

her list of "Glads." Just a few of
them are given, for she says that she

WOOL TAKES
SUDDEN DROP

Sheepmen of this locality, who have
as yet not sold their spring clips. are
somewhat alarmed because OF the sud
den drop in the market price of wool,
which fell nearly ten cents per pound
during the past ten days. and the with
drawal of buyers from the field. Many
OF the wool growers. however, are of
the opinion that the slump in the
market is only temporary and that
prices will advance to the old price
within a short time II is contended
that there is still great shortage of
wool not only in the United States,
but in all countries and that the pres
ent low price has been caused by
other conditions, and not through over
production.
A great many OF the local wool
growers have contracted their spring
clips at a price exceeding those of
last year. while other who believed
that holding out, higher price could
be obtained, are now showing certain
degree of apprehension as to the fut-
ure price of wool. Some declare that
buyers have forced down the price of
wool in order to break strong COM
binations formed by growers in their
desire to sell at high figure.

IMPROVES SPUO
PRODUCTION
uODOObsOO

VIM. Scheele, one of the progressive
farmers of this Valley, tried out an
experiment in potato raising last year
that proved so successful that he is
desirious of passing along his method
to other farmers, who have probably
experienced the same difficulties that
he had. He was troubled more or less
with scale and the like and in plant
ing his potatoes last year, put small
handful of gypsum in each hill One
row was thus treated and the next
was planted without the gypsum
When the crop was harvested in the
fall. the potatoes were much bigger
and better potatoes than those grown
In the same ground without gypsum
He secured the gypsum at the
Mound House for 81 per load. and is
using II again this season. At the
gypsum plant he learned that farmers
OF California and Oregon are heavy
buyers of gypsum for fertilizer, which
costs them laid down at their farms
about $1,000 per ton. the freight
charges being many times greater
than the cost Of the gypsum.
Farmers. who have had poor luck
In raising potatoes. will do well to
follow out the plan adopted by Mr.
Scheele and will undoubtedly exper-
fence the same success that has been
achieved by him.

CARSON ALWAYS GETS
TIE WORST OF IT

The following appeared in the Reno
Journal this morning:
CARSON CITY. May 5.-The first
passenger auto to make its way from
Carson City to Lake Tahoe over the
Kingsbury grade arrived at Glenhrools
early this afternoon after but slight
difficulty in crossing a few remaining
small snowdrifts. For the past sever
al days convicts from the Nevada pris-
on have been working with large
truck of the highway department in
clearing the road for travel, and 1t
days work will have the road in con-
dition for normal summer travel.
Whether the leaving out of the
Kings Canyon grade and the instert-
ing therefore of the Kingsbury grade
was through a mistake of the Jour-
nails Carson correspondent or done
in that newspaper office we
have no means of knowing, but it GER
tainly looks as though there was some
ting deliberate about it.
And it was not the first time that
Carson has been given the worst of 1t
by the Reno Journal.
But so that the public may not be
misled it can be positively stated that
the Kingsbury grade has not yet been
opened and the Kings Canyon road
has.

new CONCRETE HIGHWAY
TO Be CONSTRUCTED SOON
Half of the Cost Within Town Limits of Min
den and Gardnerville will be Paid
by Federal Government

At meeting held yesterday after
noon. the County Commissioners took
favorable action relative to the build
ing OF a concrete highway from the
Methodist church In Gardnerville to
a point 800 feet beyond the north
limits of Minden or at the beginning
of the new state highway now under
constitution.
This action was taken after the
commissioners had been advised by
the State Highway Engineer that the
federal government would pay half
of the cost of the highway within the
limits OF the two towns. The strip
of road between the two towns will
be constructed by stats, county and
federal aid.
The new highway will be twenty
feet in width and will be of concrete
six inches thick. which is sufficient
to stand the heavy trucking.
II was estimated that the road, un-
der the former arrangement would
cost the county In the neighborhood
of $4,000 In view OF the fact that
much other highway work Is required
within the county and the necessity
of expending several thousand dol
lars improving the road 10 the south,
the 100000 available through the
bond issue would not have been suf-
ficient to have carried all of the work
to completion. However. With the
very liberal offer of the federal gov
ernment TO bear half OF the expense
of the concrete highway within the
limits of both towns. places an entire

for stating that the Kingsbury grade
and not the Kings Canyon route to
Lake Tahoe had been opened to auto
travel, the Carson Appeal published
an even more glaring error by giving
publicity to the statement that the

when as a matter OF fact. that route

effort was made by the Appeal to cor
rect the statement after that paper
had information to the contrary. Fol-

Advocates Pure
Bred Sheep

Joe Wilson, well known resident
of Mason Valley, spent several days
in this locality this week interview
ing sheep men relative to the impor-
tation of pure-bred sheep from New
leland and Australia. There is a
general feeling among the stockmen
of Nevada to improve their herds and
Mr. Wilson Is a leader in this work.
1t is understood that quite a num-
ber of local sheep owners gave Mr.
Wilson much encouragement in his
commendable undertaking and signi-
fled their willingness to secure a num-
ber of pure-bred sheep as founda-
tion upon which to build and improve
their herds.

ly different aspect on the situation. 1t
reduces the cost to the county from
$500 to approximately 100000 in
cluding an additional eighth of a mile
OF highway not figured on in the first
estimate.
At the meeting held yesterday after
noon, a large number of representa-
tives taxpayers were present and 1t
was the sense of the meeting that such
liberal aid as is now being offered
by the government may not be avail
able at a later date. and that the time
of building road was at hand. II was
also stated in communication from
the state engineer that while construc-
tion OF highways was high at this time
there was no assurance that 1t would
be less next year or even two years
hence. As matter of fact informa-
ton In the hands of the highway engi-
neer point to te fact that construction
work will increase In cost rather
than decrease.
II. f. Dangberg, was present at the
meeting and gave 1t as his opinion that
In view of fact that the federal govern
ment offered to bear half of the ex-
pense of building the highway the
county should take advantage of Sc
curing this aid He made a motion to
that effect which was carried by the
citizens present.
The board of commissioners took
action making the county's portion of
the highway available to the state
highway commission which will be
secured through the sale of road bonds
authorized by the last legislature.
