dropped and good old bare knuckles
used instead. At the sound of falling
glass the public ran over to the scene
OF the encounter where the contest
ants were scientifically delivering right
and left hooks to the jaw, neck and
face. with plenty of body punches in
rapid succession.
After about three minutes fast fight
ing they rushed to clinch, and about
that time Chief Kelly arrived on the
battle ground, and forthwith appoint
ed himself referee He pried the con-
testants apart and took them over to
see Police Judge Phipps.
Judge Phipps learned from the par
ties to the difficulty their names were
John r. Sykes and Ike Williams,
and that Williams had rented the
building some time ago and opened
up boot backing stand, and later
let Mr.. Sykes set up his clothes
pressing outfit, and he having in the
meantime taken charge of the shining
operations at the l.. & l.. left his own
stand with Mr. Sykes on $3.50
basis. Not being satisfied with the
returns Mr.. Williams this morning
took away his bootblacking stand and
MIR. Sykes went after lumber and
started to build new stand when the
fight started Judge Phipps called
it disturbing the peace and charged
each battler $500 which they went
out and rustled and each promised
not to let it occur again.

marketing Association through which
the farmer can market his hay or po-
tatoes or whatever he produces.

AN ENVIABLE RECORD

The beet sugar industry has gone
through the readjustment period and
come out in satisfactory manner.
1t is to the lasting credit OF the
sugar companies that they were able
to carry out their contracts for the
highest beet prices on record when
sugar dropped to pre-war prices over
night. 1t was the stability and busi-
ness management OF these companies
that enabled them to keep their con-
tracts and thus prevent ruin for the
thousands OF farmers.
Judging from the manner in which
farmers have signed up the new beet
contracts they recognize the value OF
a guaranteed crop price backed by q
solid industrial organization.

.UP.TO.DATE DIARIES
IS THEIR SLOGAN

The Farm Bureau held a successful
meeting at Wellington Friday night.
April 10Th. The meeting was called to
order by NJ K. Toohey, chairman of
the Wellington center. Business
transacted consisted in deciding upon
a date for regular meetings and
community program for the year.
Regular meetings will be held on the
third Friday of each month and the
special meetings may be called by the
chairman when occasion demands.
No definite programs for Commu-
nifty Projects were adopted but several
committees were appointed to investi-
gate and report at the next meeting on
May 10th. Walter Newell, Stanford
Beaman and Mr. kinlmel were ap-
pointed on committee to devise ways
and means for boosting dairying i'll
Smith Valley. The sentiment seemed
to be favorable for more dairy cows
in Smith Valley, if capital could be Sc
cured for buying the cows.
Another committee consisting OF
Stanford Beaman and Frank Mann
were delegated to look after animal
disaese control Drainage problems
near Simpson will be investigated.
Four or five thousand acres of land
i'll that vicinity are badly in need OF
drainage. Each year the water table
is rising and taking more good alfalfa
land. Water storage means an in
crease in the length of the irrigation
season. All of this land and more
will be threatened if steps are not ta
ken to provide an adequate drainage
system. The committee to handle
this question consists OF w. l.. Black
well, Clarence Beaman, Connel and
Yeager.
A committee on labor consisting OF
Charles Day, Fred Fulstone and Leo
Wilkerson will report at the next
meeting on the advisabiliay of adopt
ing wage scale.
Mr.. George Malone, Water Super
vsor gave talk on the water stu

After all business was transacted
the meeting adjourned for a social.

More dairy COWS for Smith Valley
seems to be the slogan for many
Smith Valley farmers. Marketing OF
alfalfa hay via the cream check route
appeals to many and seems to offer
more certain income than the prob
able sale of alfalfa hay at low fig
ure. Enough interest was displayed
at the Farm Bureau meeting Friday
night to cause the appointment OF a
committee empowered to call meet
ing III the very near future OF all those
interested in dairying, the objective be-
ing the formation of Smith Valley
Dairymcns' Association. All Smith
Valley dairymen or prospective dairy
men will be invited to attend this meet
ing and join the organization. Prot
lessor V. T.. Scott, Dairy Specialist
Of the University OF Nevada. will be
asked to attend and efforts will be
will be made to secure other out
side speakers. The committee ap-
pointed consists of l.. Wilkerson, II 4
