AMERICAN LEGION SMOKET
 RESULTS

The Amercan Legidn Smoker which was given by Pat Petty Post No. 133 last week was big success. The program was short and snappy, well arranged and apparently enjoyed by everybody who attended. The weather was bad and che town suffer- ed the misfortune of being without lights, the Legion however immedi- ately connected with and was furnish ed Delco Lighting by the Wise Bros. It was thrugh the kindness of the Wise Bros. that the Legion was able on the program under the conditions. Considering the unfavorable condi- tions the affair; was well attended by the sreal fans" who braved the storm and darkness to see the home talent demonstrate their pluck, skill and ability in the ring.
 Kittler, the Champion wrestler of Almyra, could not fill his scheduled appointment for finished bout with Blasingame, the local boy, so "Cy- clone Kirby" of Little Rock was inn mediately booked to take Kittler's place which the Little Rock lad did with merit. Blass was. successful and won two straight falls in II and minutes respectively. The bout was science and skill.
 The boxing bouts were all good, the little fellows, as well as the larger boys, showed real fistic class. Their showing upon such short acquaint- ance with the gloves, was far better than expected of them. These boys are working hard and are getting some experience from these friendly little bouts which they all seem to enjoy. Fritz DeTar and Everett Cook went the longest route. Their three rounds were fast and furious each lad delivered and received some heavy wallops. These young fellows are travelling at fast gait and if they continue to work hard and keep in condition they will be able to make the best of them travel to keep in their class.
 The last bout on program, the real comic section of the affair was a Ne gro Battle Royal, and Battle Royal it was indeed It was a scream, never before, since and doubtful if ever there will be another just like it. The

Factory to Start
About Oct. 20
Shipments of Beets From Standish
VIII Begin to Arrive In About
Three Weeks

Manager Hinze of the Lahontan
valley Sugar Co., states that the
crop of beets at Standish. Calf. is
maturing nicely and Is estimated at
not less than fifteen tons per acre.
Shipping Will commence about Oc-
tober 10th. The farmers OF the sec
tion are enthusiastic over the seas
ons prospects and are already en-
gagged In plowing for a greatly in
creased acreage to be planted next
year. From present indications this
increase will not be less than 200
per cent in the Standish section.
A. N. Johnson, who will have
charge of the chemical department
at the Lahontan Valley Sugar Com
pany's factory for its 1921 season
has arrived in Fallon and is now en-
gagged in getting his department in
shape for the beginning of opera
tions which is scheduled for some
time after the middle of October.
Mr.. johnson expressed himself as
agreeably surprised at the size and
completeness of the Fallon plant
which compares fayorably with those

sugar men Mr.. Johnson is an en-
thusiast for his chosen crop, point
ing out that it is one Of the few

some other part of the State ex-

the potentialities OF a soil, climate
and an abundance of water coupled
with a huge investment in machin-

to convert the ordinary beet into a

profit to all.

Bank Merger Was
Effected Last
Monday
Final Legal Requirements Complied
With and Transfer of Accounts
To BE Made Saturday

A stockholders meeting was held
by each OF the Fallon banks last
Monday at which the final legal re-
quirements incident to the proposed
amalgamation were complied with.
Mr.. Wingfield acquired a majori-
ty of the stock in both the Churchill
County Bank and the Bank of Fal-
Ion several weeks ago and immedi-
ately took steps to effect a consoli-
dation of the TWO institutions under
the name of the Churchill County
Bank, the Bank of Fallon will thus
automatically go out OF existence
and the bank fixtures will be shipped
to Virginia City, where they viii be
utilized in a new bank to be opened
there by Mr.. Wingneld in the old
quarters OF the Bank of California
Agency about the first of November.
The final transfer of accounts in the
local banks will take place next Sat
urday.
Many of the original stockholders
of the Bank OF Fallon elected to re-
tain their holdings in consolidation
and it is probable that the director
ate, which has not yet been an
nouneed will contain names from the
old board of the two, banks.
The consolidation was engineered
in its legal phases by Attorney Hen
ley of Reno, and it is understood
that Mr.. Knowles, Manager of the
Wingield chain of banks will be in
Fallon Saturday to formally ef-
feet the transfer. The local person
mel has not yet been announced.
In becoming an integral part of
the chain of Wingfield banks the f.
nancial standing of the Fallon insti-
tuition will be materially improved.
Mr.. Wingfeld has long been known
to have an abiding faith in a pros
porous future for this valley, and
has proven his interest in the coun-
ty and its people by many substan-
tial investments that were not al
way predicated on those principles
that are generally supposed to lie at
the basis of sound business, where
profit was the sole motive. Hence
his advent into the business and fl
nancial circles of the community
cannot be Interpreters but as indi-
eating desire to extend his sphere
of influence in the upbuilding of the
Newlands project.

Settling Claims of
Disabled Veterans
Private Bob, In Ringing Speech,
Tells Of Work OF the Clean
Up Squad

Coming to F'allon in advance of
the Cleanup Squad scheduled to
be here September 80 and October
1st, to help adjust claims of the ex-
service men, Dwight IL. Robinson
tPriyate Bob), on Saturday evening
at the Rex and Palace theaters and
also at the dance which was given
by the ladies' auxiliary at the
Naples, delivered ringing patriotic
speech under auspices of Churchill
Post, American Legion. The audi
ence was delightfully."- surprised to
hear the story OF the disabled veter-
ans told in an intimate and at times
humorous manner by Private Bob,
who is no stranger on the platform.
1t proved to be one of the most in
teresting messages brought to this
city since the signing of the armis-
tiee, being a story of a two and a
half years fight with congress to
abolish antiquated methods of high
ly centralized and inefficient bu-
reaucratic government at Washing
ton.
I'VE are bringing Washington to
Fallon, as far as disabled soldiers
are concerned, was aobinsons open
ing remark. Coadnuing, he said:
1T may have been necessary to
establish an autocracy at Washing
ton to beat the autocracy of the
kaiser, but il was not necessary to
use that same method in dealing
with our broken-down, gassed and
manned neighbor boys who defend
ed this nation.
THE party that is visiting Fallon
September 80 and October l is not
Red Cross nor an American Le-
gion party, but group of federal
officials, whose services are being
paid for by you taxpayers of Fallon.
You are beginning to get direct re-
turn for the taxes you pay on every
thing you eat, drink and wear, and
on some of the things which you
don't drink.
Here Is what will actually hap
pen when the government party
comes to town. Legal advisers, med
ical examiners and stenographers
will not only prepare cases, but they
will pass on cases in person and
make immediate awards for hospital
treatment, dental, medical and surg
ical, for disabilities Incurred In SER
vice. The squad Will award immed-
late vocational training for those
who are unable to follow their pre-
war employment. 1t will award, ten
tatiyely or pending final approval in
Washington, compensation or pen
sion claims on the spot.
I'VE have been fighting for over
two years to decentralize the War
Risk Bureau; to localize 1t and to
decide cases in San Francisco, with
local sub-offices at Sacramento and
other important points in Califor-
MIA; to coordinate the War Risk bu-
reau, U. S. Public Health Service
and Federal Training Boards under
one head-the u. S. Veterans Bu-
reau, eliminating triplicate files or
records of the one man with one dis
ability with endless conflict of au-
thority, passing the buck and un-
told misery incident to delay"

Potatoes Certain to
Bring Good Prices

Many farmers have become panic
ky and are selling their potatoes
now, in the fear that there will not
be market later. The price that
that these potatoes are going at is
ridiculously low. Last reports seen
from the Bay city show that the
price per ton there is around $4,000.
The price contracted for here is
around $4,000. The difference is
too great and consequently a grower
who has not already signed up can
wait with every assurance that he
will receive an even better price lat
er on. The eastern markets, an
other good criterion by which to
Judge the coming market, is also
holding well and has been steady
for the past month, according to
data received by those getting the
Daily Report sent out by the U. s.
Department of Marketing.
There is such a shortage of po-
tatoes that the buyers are buying
everything and contracting on a
large scale in the belief that pota-
toes will go up and that is one of
the best reasons that one can ask
for in judging the market. The buy
ers themselves are not in doubt as
to what the market will be. If they
were, the growers would be holding
until the market was a more cor
tain proposition.
The best advice that any grower
can receive at this time is to hold
the potatoes unless it is absolutely
imperative that he sell. Contract
ing them is not good business this
season.
With hay at low figure and po-
tatoes the next best bet here, II is
necessary that the grower receive
every penny he can get on the Ne
vada potato which has an even bet
ter market than the California va
riety.

BANKS TO BE READY
IN SHORT TIME FOR LOANS

Banks of the state will be sup
piled within a few days with the ap-
plieation blanks and other materials
necessary TO supply money to f.
nance various land and live stock in
dustries from the billion-dollar fund
of the war finance corporation.
Neyada's member of the commit
tee, in charge of California and Ne
yada. ], H. Sheehan of Winnemucca,
will. probably visit the banks con-
eerned.
The feeling among the bankers of
the state is that these loans will help
conditions generally and that some
of the so-called frozen assets" can
be converted into cash and in turn
loaned out again. Through the war
finance corporation 1t is expected the
banks will be in condition to dis
count notes now held by them.
Expenses and clerical help will be
furnished Mr.. Sheehan by the gov
ernment.

Chamber of Commerce
Rents Old Postofioe

The regular weekly meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce last Mon
day evening, brought forth a good
attendance and the various routine
matters received the attention their
Importance deserved.
The matter OF securing new quar-
ters for the Club, which had been
delegated to a committee at a previ-
Gus meeting was discussed and it
was decided to remove to the build
ing formerly occupied by the post
office, where ground floor location
will afford an opportunity to pre-
pare a permanent exhibit of county
products and at the same time pro-
vide quarters for the farm bureau
and government agricultural agen-
cies, which the inaccessibility of the
present quarters renders impracti-
cable.
An echo of the past was revived
when Postmaster Likes arose and
requested that as trustee for the
fund collected locally for rewarding
the posse who pursued and disposed
of the murderer of Sheriff Mark
Wildes three years ago last May, he
would like to have some assurance
that in disposition of the funds as
decreed by the Chamber of Com
meree a few weeks ago that he
would be protected from future
claimants. Mr.. Likes is in a peculiar
position. Without volition on his
part he was made the custodian of
this fund amounting to about $500.
committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, after due deliberation
awarded the amount to eleven men
who were clearly entitled to partici-
pate, and eliminating horde OF
hangerson whose title to any part OF
it was based solely on their own un-
supported estimate of their import
ance in the manhunt. 1t is the gen.
eral eoncensus of those who con-
tributed the money that no fairer di-
vision could be made than that pro-
posed by the committee, and practi-
cally all subscribers to the fund are
adverse to the inclusion of any
others. However, the chamber OF
commerce, having acted solely as an
arbitrator in the matter, could not
see its way clear to becoming finan-
cially responsible for the appllca-
tion of its decree, and hence, while
sympathizing deeply with Mr.. Likes
incontinently left him dangling
helplessly in midair and literally
"holding the sack. "
