Despite the fact, however that the

Ford cars and trucks is not being met,
and at the present time. many thou
sand untitled orders have been piled
up ahead so that Ford sales are still
limited by manufacturing facilities
rather than marketing possibilities.
Particularly is this true with respect
to enclosed cars, for which the de-
mand has been unusually heavy.
One reason cited by Ford officials
for the unprecedented demand for
Ford cars is the present tendency to-
ward economy Many of those whose

New Company
Ready to Drill


The big Okell drill of type called
tx" by manufacturers and users. be-
longing to the Syndicate Oil Com
pany, has been taken TO the Jones
& Jewell ranch In the Island district
where an S4-foot derrick Is now In
process of erection. 1t is believed by
the officials of the company that the
rig will be set to work on Monday,
July 25th.
A great number of people are
watching the progress of the Syndi-
cate Company's enterprise with a
keen interest. The concern is backed
by substantial men of this state and
the announced purpose is to go to
depth in the Fallon field that will
solve for all time the underground
mysteries of this section.
Showings of oil at various depths
in different parts of this field have
occurred with such regularity that
faith has been created in the minds
of all observers. The Syndicate Oil
Company entered the local field with
ample backing Just at the time when
money conditions were tightening
and with a treasury ample. for all
drilling needs, thus assuring the
single thing that seems TO deny the
field a commercial production OF oil.
That thing is depth and it's depth
that the Syndicate folks promise, and
for this reason the new company has
partisans and many of them wher-
ever oil subjects are discussed in
Nevada
1t is asserted that the big drill and
its derrick will have cost In the
neighborhood of $4,000 in advance
of setting the rig into motion.
The Syndicate Oil Company is In
corporated under the laws of Neva-
da, with a capital stock of $1,000
900. divided into 100000 shares of
the par value of 81 per share. The
principal office is at Fallon. and As

dent agent.

GENERAL LEVEL OF PRICES
OF FARM CROPS ADVANCE

General level of prices of farm
crops advanced during may, accord
ing to the report of the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This is the
first turn for higher prices of farm
crops since the marked decline be-
ginning in June, 1920.
Using 100 as the basis for the av-
erage price of farm crops during the
year 1913, the index number of the
prices on June / was 100 as COM
pared to 104 on May l, and 800 on
June l. 1920, when the peak in the
prices of farm crops was reached.
The average price of wheat ad-
canced during May from Sill to
S1.21; that OF corn from So II to So "
cents; barley from 40 to 81 cents
rye from $1.05 to s1.12; and apples
from s1.42 to s1.69. Hay, eggs. and
chickens showed slight decline In

declined from 39 cents per pound to

highly interesting meeting of
the Fallon chamber OF commerce

Gently received by Secretary w. X.
Davis from the parent organization
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, asking for the state of
mind OF the F'allon chamber of COM

measure now before congress. In
this connection IL will be borne in
mind that the men who constitute
the head of the Chamber of Com

gone unequivocally on record as op-
meanwhile that they favor substan-
tial aid for the soldiers of the late
war.
Bryan Laveaga. an ex-service man.
Postmaster G. w. Likes and A. l..
Haight were appointed a committee
TO sense public opinion on the bonus
plans and following discussion ct
next Mondays meeting a declaration
will be made.
Fallon is not unlike all other
American communities in that it is
intensely interested in the bonus
measure and il can be said truth
fully that people generally desire
more appropriate recognition of the
ex-serviee men than has been their
portion up to the present time.
Another subject discussed at the
meeting Is the apportionment of re-
ward moneys on hand IN local
bank since the late Mark l.. Wildes
was killed by draft evader whom
he was seeking to apprehend while
sheriff of this county. A total of 800
was subscribed by people in this city

killed the murderer as sum extra
to the state and county rewards Of
fered Failure of state and county
officials to clearly define the mon
entitled to the reward moneys re-
suited in the Withholding of the sub
scrihed fund In this city.
Postmaster George w. Likes is the
custodian of the money and at his
suggestion a committee was ap-
pointed to sift matters and deter
mine merit. A report will be made
at the chamber of commerce meeting
that will be held on next Monday
evening II Is likely that a final dis
position of the matter will be made
then. The members of the COM
mittee are, w. A. Harmon. Jim Smit-

Gated by kindness IL adopted early.
Some months ago they found a spar
row hawks nest and took therefrom
two little hawklings which they fed
by hand and kept in the house in a
canary cage. As they grew and
waxed strong they exhibited a real
attachment for their captors and
now enjoy their freedom. Unlike
many of the gentler things within

not abuse privilege and always re-

our attention called to the birds Sun

dence of contentment. Feeding time
was near and the birds were making
insistent demands in their own pc
culiar language for a prompt return
home where they were due for re-

item in their diet. The instance
merely serves as reminder that kind

his way into town ON Wednesday of

he carried a shotgun in his Dodge

the impulse since he had IL in full
bloom over in the entrenchments in
France a couple of years ago and
grabbing his gun he started after
the monster form in retreat, firing
shot after shot which in his excite

ry for miles, getting encouragement
In an occasional glimpse only to lose

the pursuit and came into town.
Now the doctor firmly believes he
gave chase to one of the genus ursa

he actually saw a badger, admitting
meanwhile that he never previously
laid eyes on one of these denizens

version of his exploit has led him to

FLYER MAKES FORCED
: LANDING NEAR RODEO

Two of Miss Viola Dana's maids of
honor got real thrill out of life yes
terday. when an airplane, piloted by
Aviator II. w. Williams, In which
they were riding was forced to make
hasty landing near the rodeo
grounds. says Mondays Reno
Journal.
The motor stopped suddenly when
the plane was at an elevation OF
about $500 feet. Williams was easi-
ly able to pick out a good field to
land in and alighted with no injury
to any one or any damage to the
plane.
According to AL Frank, the owner
the motor trouble was caused by a
defective rocker arm.
