ACTIVITIES OF THE
FARM BUREAU

The Fernley Farm Bureau center
met Saturday night to discuss the mar
keting association. Mr.. w. A Hardy
reported what had been done at the
organization meeting in Reno.
Chas. Friedhoff whose flock of hens
were culled last week is well satisfied
with the results obtained by discard
ing 9 of his 1873 hens. Although rec
ords kept for 7 days before and after
culling show decrease in egg produc-
ton from 528 eggs to 5O4, he receiv-
ed just as many eggs with ia hens as
he would have received. The nine
culls did not produce single egg dur
ing seven day period and Mr.. Fried
hoff believes his flock might have been
culled little closer than it was.
Now is the time to Gull your flock.
You can arrange for a culling demon-
stration by calling at the farm bureau
office.
The South End Community Center
meets on Sept 2l at the Barrett school.
The Farm Bureau signs have arriv-
ed. Each member is entitled to one.
You can get your by calling at the
Farm Bureau office.
A number of the Fernley farmers
are interested in the cantaloupe indus
try being developed at Fallon and
made an observation trip to Churchill
county to look over what is being done
there They came away convinced
that it is good proposition and next
year an attempt will be made to start
this industry at Fernley.
Miss Leah Barker, District Club
Leader, gave canning demonstration
at the Geo. Batchelder home Saturday
afternoon. Miss Barker al $50 gave sew
ing and canning demonstrations i'll
Smith valley the early part OF the week
and secured sewing exhibits from this
county for an exhibit at the Churchill
County Fair. Three prizes are offer
ed for the best clothing exhibit from
outside of Churchill county.
Several cotton plants grown by Mr..
Mayes, Agent for the Nevada Copper
Belt r. r. Co are to be seen i'll the
Farm Bureau window. The plants
are in blossom and several well formed
cotton balls are found on the plants.
These plants were grown at the Yer
ington station from seed picked UP in

BIG CROWD At
FERNLEY CELEBRATION

!he big celebration at Fernlcv on
Labor Day was attended by many WIS.,
itofs, from Ierington. Fallon and 9th
or NEARBY towns. Yerington men
brought back first honors in the box
ing and l0C yards mems footrace, but
were unable to collect anything on
the Ford race or ball game. Music
was furnished by the Yerington band
and many compliments were paid them
on the excellence of their performance.
The 1erington ball team was de-
feated by Fernley in seven inning
game, score lO-4 and later in the day
Falton won the $50 purse when they
beat the Fernley players. The Yer
ington line-up was as follows Whit
acre, Smith. Rhode. George. Pete Per-
ry,f Wood, Mcleod, Shane and Tren-
nam.
Two Yerington cars were entered
i'll the Ford race for the SIS prize.
First and second places were given to
Fernley cars, but it is believed that an
error was made by the tiinekccpers,
as impartial spectators who timed the
race say that Fraser of Yerington COW
cred the course in 20 seconds less time
then the winning car.
Dan Mcleod easily captured the
81 prize for the 100 yard dash, and
Hub Austin got the money for the
fat mems race
The main event in the point of in
terest was the boxing bout between
Molly Malone of Yerington and Hill
ingsworth OF Lovelock. The decision
went to Malone, and there was con-
siderable dissatisfaction expressed by
Lovelockers at this result Malone
was several pounds heavier than his
opponent but was not in condition to
put up hard fight. Hollingsworth
is said to be fast man and a godd
boxer but his punches were somewhat
lacking in weight.
In the prelimnaries Buck Shane
and Claude Taylor boxed four fast and
rounds. Taylor winning
the decision.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
MINERS BILL

The text OF the bill that recently
passed the house and was signed by
the president last week. changing the
time for doing assessment work on
mining claims from the calendar to
to the fiscal year, shows that under the
bill ''the period within which the
work required to be done annually
on all unpatented mineral claims To-
Gated since May 10, 1872, including
such claims in the territory of Alas
ka. shall commence at II o'clock
meridian on the first day of July
succeeding the date of location OF
sucl, claims Also that ION all such
valid existing claims the annual peri
Cd ending December 81, 1921, shall
continue to II O'Clock meridian, July
/, 1922"
Under the original bill the time
Tor doing the work would have cN-
pired at midnight. as under the old
law. at y o'clock meridian
ii Is evident lIOIll lE!S ltidl tilC
time ior doing assessment work for
the current year will be eNtended SIX
months. or until July /, 1922. In
arguing his point, Representative
Wingo OF Arkansas said: 1T is true
that the bill does not extend the peri
cd six months in one year but that
was done for the reason that the COM
mittee had to make choice between
cutting off six months on the current
year or extending it sin monthS.'
SO now. under this bjll, il makes
the date for doing annual assessment
work expire in midsummer instead of
midwintcr. which is much more dcsir-
able, especially where claims are sit
mated in lofty mountain ranges OF
where there is liable to he a heavy fall

CAMPAIGN ON FOR
MORE NURSES

The Red Cross Nursing Service
is making an active campaign through
ont the United States to secure oOt
nurses immediately to care for eX-scr-
vice men in hospitals. Miss Lillian l.
White. Director OF the Nursing Ser
vice in the :. Pacific Division of the
American Red Cross. is calling ior y
enlstments in her territory. California
Nevada, Arizona and Utah.
This urgent call for immediate Ell
istment of Red Cross nurses i'll this
special service is parallel to that
of the war time call when the Army
and Navy turned to the Rcd Cross for
nurses for military service both at
home and abroad,
The call carries an emotional appeal
when it is known that disqualification
OF disabled veterans OF the World War
is increasing. The government thru
its United States Public llea't II Service
designatcs the need for more nurses
as All emergency and the Red Cross is
putting the full strength OF its nurs-
ing service into action to meet it.
Miss White has sent the al to nurs
es through the state and local nursing
Committees and to individual nurses il
he Rcd Cross reserves. Details of the
procedure in enlisting for this special
service in the United States Public
Iealth Service hospitals were furnish
ed, together with schedule OF pay for
nurses enlisting.
The 20 United States Public Health
Service hospitals are not sufficient tc
meet the demand. The Army and
Navy hospitals are setting aside beds
for the ex-service men. Nurses en-.
listing may choose which service they
prefer.
Any nurse interested in getting into
this field for service to the eX-servict
man can communicate with the Rec
Cross chapter or the nearest loca
committee on Red Cross Nursing Ser
vice for the details of enlistment

REPORT OF COUNTY SUPT. OF
SCHOOLS
I1adySrnith. "

Ladysmith. Wis, Nov. 9. 1920.
To the County Board Of Supervisors,
Rusk County, Wisconsin.
Gentlcmen-As required by law, |
herewith present my annual report on
the condition of the schools and of pub
lie education in Rusk County. WiscOn-
sim This year. as last, my report is
made as brief as possible. If You de
sire further information on any point
contained in it you are invited to a per-
Sonal interview or to call me before
your Honorable Body.
The unsettled conditions following
the World War have been acutely felt
in the business administration OF the
schools. Teachers have been scarce;
text books high in price furnishings
and apparatus hard to get at any price.
Costs Of fuel. costs Of transportation,
salaries of janitors. all have made de-
mandS for more money. New build
ingS that are desired, and that have
been voted by the districts, have in
most cases been delayed in cOnstruc-
tion. because in practically every case
the largest appropriations permissible
We're inadequate.
Our schools are somewhat better sup
died with we'll qualified teachers than
they were d year ago. This is rather
exceptional. when we take into cOnSld-
GRAFTON the fact that the general teach
er shortage over the state is more pro
n0unced than year ago. Our county
showed its usual progressive spirit and
offered prices for teachers which not
only kept our own in the county. but
actually attracted and brought to us
&c qualified teachers from other coum-
ties Only five persons possessed OF
Snb-Standard legal qualifications have
been certified to Supt. Cary for his per-
mission to grant them special licenses
to teach. \ year ago there were thlr-
teen persons teaching on special IL
ccnSeS.
1t may be of interest to know the APP
proximate salaries that are being paid
to our teachers at the present time. Be
ginnerS are receiving $4,000 per
month: experienced teachers from 500
to S13O per month in the one and two
room schools; principals of the first
class graded schools and the more
capable assistants, 1926 to $50 per
month Principals of the four high
schools from $1GO to 500 per month.
The total amount paid for maintain
inc all of the regular public schools of
the county for the year ending June
70. 1920. was S179.407.03. This is an
increase of $50, S15.S7 over the proceed
ing year 1t is probable that the total
cost for the current year will be APP
proXimately S200,0OO0O.
The school population as shown by
the census Of June 30. 1920, was 5143.
IN increase of 81 over the preceding
wear. This increase of population Is
found largely in the towns Of Big Falls.
Dewey and Lawrence. Two new
schools are III operation. the same hav-
ing been made necessary TO provide Tor
the children of the new settlers. Seven
moro teachers are being employed in
