New Brick Garage to
Be Erected Next Spring

A. w, H. Helberg closed deal this
week for the purchase of the Krum-
mes lot on the corner of Main and
School streets, and is quite the big
gest real estate transaction that has
been consummated in Gardnerville in
the past several years.
Mr.. Helberg announces that early
next spring work will start on the
erection of one of the most complete
garage buildings to be found In Ne
yada. The building will be OF brick
two stories in height and will cover
the entire lot of 110x112 feet. The
lower floor will be devoted to sales
rooms. accessory department, stor-
age of cars, and a rest room, while
the machine shop will occupy the up
per floor and will not be outclassed
by any garage INF the country from a
point of machine equipment and the
character of work that will be turned
out. A driveway with a seven per
cent grade will connect the upper
floor with the ground entrance
The building and equipment will be
modern throughout and Mr.. Helberg
states that he will spare no expense
In making this one of the best garages
in Nevada.
Mr. Helberg has long contemplated
the erection on modern garage
building at this place, and some years
ago purchased a lot near the Ritch-
ford hotel. He soon realized, how
ever, that the lot was not of sufficient
size for his rapidly growing business
and determined to wait the time when
a more suitable location could be Sc
cured, and that obstacle has now been
overcome by the purchase of the most
suitable garage location in town.
Mr.. Helberg states that he will con-
tinue to push the sale of Dodge
Brothers cars in this community and
that In his new building he will not
only be able to give better service to
Dodge owners but will be enabled to
handle all classes of work on any car
that is made.
Mr.. Helberg is recognized as one of
the best automobile mechanics in this
section At this time he Is designing
and will soon commence construction
on motor truck and pump for the
Gardneryille fire department. This
work has been held up for some time
awaiting for specially constructed
pump by an eastern manufacturer.
The new fire fighting apparatus will
be more efficient than the machines
turned out by Eastern concerns and
will be valuable addition TO the pre-
sent fire fighting system. A great

have already been made by Mr.. Hell
berg In his machine shop and those
who have viewed the work declare
that It Is of the highest character
The same painstaking that is mark
ing the construction and assembling
of the fire truck goes into every job
turned out by the Helberg Garage.
which accounts for his rapid growing
business and the necessity of a new
home which will be housed In the
modern two-story brick building, con-
struction of which will start early
next spring.

Big Celebration
On Amistice Day

Armistice Day, November Il, 1921,
promises to be day of as great i'm
portance as It was three years ago
when the Imperial German army laid
down their arms and ended the great
est war the world has ever known.

On this day also the body of an un-
known American soldier who fell on
the field of battle during the World
War will be given a distinguished
place at Arlington cemetery and the
highest honors will be paid the un-
known boy. This body was selected
from the thousands of unknown
American boys buried in France and
the mother of every such boy has the
exalted right 10 feel that the unknown
hero, to whom great homage will be
paid Is her hoy
On this same day the American Le-
gion posts throughout America will

of the world and one in which the
American soldier played no small part
in bringing about. In common with
other posts Carson Valley branch of

purpose of planning sewer system.

cided by the citizens of this town.
From the fact that no complete map Of
Gardnerville Is In existence. 1t was
found necessary to plat the town and
a complete map is to be made by Mr..
Taylor. 1t is reported that In many
instances lots have been found to
overlap and aside from being neces-
sary to plan out a sewer system, the
map may be used to straighten real

tangle is of no great consequence,
many minor mistakes In deeds have
been made in years gone by from the
fact that no permanent monuments
were ever set, and definite point Of
beginning, thus errors, In several In
stances, have resulted.

HEALTH PICTURES
WELL ATTENDED

The educational films shown here

the school children and Monday
evening for adults under the aus
pices of the county board of health.
attracted large crowd and were
thoroughly enjoyed Following the
showing of the pictures, the school
children were given cards with which
to keep record of care of teeth and
the like, and just now many of the
little ones are working their tooth
brushes overtime in order to win a
pennant which will be presented to
those who make good showing in
helps to better health.
The results of the modern health
crusade are physical and moral i'm
proyement of children and the pre-
vention of disease. Largely home
work, the crusade links the home and
the school and, reaching beyond the
children, teaches the parents. For the
uniformed character of the child, the
crusade contributes a needed drill in
truthuflness and regularity in duty.
The method of recording performance
OF the chores, under which the child
Is put on his honor to choose between
right and wrong statements, affords
an ethical discipline comparable in
value to the physical discipline. The
crusade awakens responsibility for
community welfare and makes the
teachers work lighter by keeping the
children's minds alert and by promot-
ing both attention and attendance.

professions in the world today.
Magazines and newspapers devote
columns of space to this subject in or

not all, of this material might just as
we'll not be written for it is generally
misleading and written by persons
wholly uniformed on the subjects,
about which they are attempting to
write.
This profession Of Cosmetic Their
opy, fortunately for the public is be-
ing elevated thru schools which are at
tempting to train it's exponents along
scientific lines, and some states al
ready have laws regulating its prac-
tice and more will follow. This is as
it should be, for a thorough knowl-
edge Of sterilization and cleanliness,
as we'll as a grounding in the work to
be done can be achieved in no other
way than laws forcing operators to
have the needful training and meas
ure up to the requirements in order to
protect public health and give valuable
service to patrons.
As long as the two sexes exist,
there will be the desire to make ones
self attractive to ones fellows. After
all, it is a source Of much personal
pleasure to be able to look another in
the eye and say, II am we'll dressed
from head to toe, my hair is healthy,
clean and becomingly arranged, my
face is clean and my good points made
the most of and my defects lessened
by means Of judiciously applied Co.'S
metiques. My nails are clean and we'll
shaped, and my feet are comfortable
in spite of the modern footgear." And
the sense Of we'll being is exhaled and
as a tonic to ourselves and to all we
meet. Isn't it worth the effort and

was pleasure-of sitting behind two
men and over-hearing their conversa-
tion on business conditions. One was
an Optimist and the other a Pessi-
mist; one saw the doughnut and the
other only saw the hole.
The conversation was in this strain:
"What's the matter with business?'
asked the pessimist with long.
drawn face.
Nothing, my dear Jim, absolutely
nothing" replied the optimist, "busi.
ness is alright-it is you.'
"Oh yes it is alright" he continued
as the pessimist started to remon.
strate. "Of course it is not altogethe,
you've are all more or less to blame
but you helped to Knock business
when you should have been boosting
Yes you have-we all have-and we
know it."
"Just how" asked the pessimist.
"Well, answered the optimist af.
ter some thought, I'VE listened to a
lot Of insidious propaganda about
profiteers. Some of it was true-but
most of it was not. Not by a long
shot. Of course there were-and
area great many products being sold
on which tremendous profit was
made-and is still being made, but
instead Of wedding out the bad from
the good we took for granted that all
were bad and 50 we said to ourselves,
I just won't buy this, that or the
other thing until I am sure that prices
have reached bottom, and what must
really have I will buy only in small
quantities and under protest. I will
let the merchant know that am on
to him and if kick hard enough and
often eonugh he will soon get scared
and be glad to drop his prices to hold
my trade.
"Now, what was the result? Prices
on those bad products did tumble
and on some good stuffs, and other
products are still tumbling-but the
good products which could not be re-
duced without losing money were hit
hard. The manufacturers of these
products faced difficult situations at
almost every turn. People would not
buy their goods at the prevailing
prices and they could not afford to
manufacture them for less. As a rel
suit, production slowed up-cancella-
tions began to take the plaza of or

men and women were laid $ff, until
things began to pick up-ana We. mar
