WILL RECEIVE DONATIONS
FOR LEGION CAFETERIA

Carol Haugner, chairman of the
American Legion committee in charge
of the cafeteria dinner that is to be
given at the Rex Theatre on Arrais-
tice Day, announces that contributions
of cakes, sandwiches, and the like will
be thankfully received from anyone
who is friendly to the Legion boys,
and that means everybody. On past
occasions different ones announced
their willingness to contribute to the
Legion doings, but felt that they had
no right to do so because hey had no
sons to serve in the war, and conse-
quently were not represented in the
American Legion. The boys will re-
ceive' contributions from anyone who
may feel so inclined and give their
assurance that such action will be
highly appreciated by the Legion
members.

Otto Heise Meets
Serious Injury

Otto Heise, a we'll known young
farmer of Carson Valley and member
Of the Heise Land & Livestock Com
pany, was seriously injured last Sat-
urday and while he has been unable
to tell how he sustained the injury.
circumstances point to the fact that
he was bucked from q horse that he
had been riding.
He was found In the yard Of the
Heise ranch by James Campbell and
others who went there to attend .
livestock sale. He was carried into
the house in an unconscious condition
and although medical aid was imme-
diately summoned It was impossible
to revive him, only for few minutes
at a time. He was taken to Reno
Monday and Is receiving treatment In
a hospital at that place. and from
last reports 1t is learned that he now
shows slight Improvement.
Indications point to the fact that
after being thrown from his saddle
horse, Mr.. Heise made an attempt 70
reach the house, but fell unconscious
in doing SO. Through x-ray examina-
tions at Reno 1t was believed that the
nature Of his injury could be deter
mined.

TO ORGANIZE
AUTO CLUB AT
MINDEN MEETING

A meeting of business men and
others who are interested In the for
nation of Douglas County Automo-
bile Association will be held at the
CIVIC. hall In Minden tomorrow night
for the purpose Of perfecting the or
ganization, which has been talked Of
for the past several months.
Resort owners at the southern end
Of Lake Tahoe are extremely anxious
to have the Kingsbury grade put In
better condition and have made It
known that they stand willing to give
financial assistance to such an under
taking. Since this has become known
here business men have interested
themselves in the matter and will give
assistance through the organization of
the automobile association to be form
ed tomorrow night. The county COM
missioners will aid In the work and
through the three sources, it Is be-
lieved that sufficient sum of money
can be raised to put Kingsbury grade
in the best Of condition. In fact to
make 1t the best road leading to Lake
Tahoe from the eastern slope of the
Sierras.
California automobile books list the
Kingsbury grade as a one-way road.
That Is, east bound travel Is advised
that the road Is passable but impos-
sible for west bound travel. This In
formation Is said to be responsible
for the diverting of at least fifty per
cent of auto travel from the Carson
Valley -Kingsbury route. The only
way that travel over this route can be
increased is through better road con-
ditions.
The association that Is to be form
ed tomorrow night hopes to accom-
plish the needed road improvement
and business men of both Minden and
Gardnerville, as we'll as all others who
are interested in the bettering of road
conditions in general are urged to be
present and give their support to the
commendable movement.

RICH LAND BEING
MADE READY FOR
CROP PRODUCTION

The Dangberg Land and Livestock
Company has two big tractors and
sagebrush diggers at work clearing a
hundred-acre tract of land north of
the stock yard below Minden which
will be ready for cultivation next sea-
son. The big machines are making
effective headway in tearing up the
heavy brush and when ii is recalled
that it was but comparatively few
years ago that men were employed to
clear land with grub-hoes, a slow and
costly method, it makes the work of
these big numbering machines all the
more wonderful.
The land in that part Of Carson
Valley is rich in all the requirements
for hay and grain crops and while the
reclamation of semi-arid lands in this
valley is slow. each year sees addi-
tional land brought under cultivation.
The Dangberg Company has under
consideration at this time the sub
division of from five hundred to a
thousand acres of highly cultivated
land just east of Minden into small
units. While the size of the farms
have not been thoroughly decided, it
is probable that they will compose
about forty acres each. If the venture
works out with the success that seems
apparent, additional lands in that To-
cality will be sub-divided by the Dang
berg company.

LOYELOCK HAY GROWERS
ASSURED A MARKET

The ranchers of the Lovelock valley
are rapidly disposing of their hay crop
and pasturing fields are being sold to
various big cattle concerns, accord
ing to the Lovelock Review Miner.
Early In the season, 1t was feared
that the packing houses would not
ship stock into the valley for winter
ing as heretofore, but during the last
ten days the records at the stock
yards show figures that compare ia
vorably with the shipments of former
years.
General Freight Agent Fulton of the
Southern Pacific. Company stated In
Lovelock recently that the company
would handle from 1000 to 1900 cars
OF stock rhis fall, which approximately
represents 10000 head of stock to be
fattened in the valley during the win
ter months for the spring markets.
Up to date. 10000 head have been
shipped in, a majority by the Moffat
Company, and the remainder from the
Cudahy Packing Company Of Los An
geles.
About all the sheep that are to be
shipped in arrived during the last few
days, which amount to $1,000 head
10000 Of those by John G. Taylor and
the rest are w. r. McCulloch's. Mil
ler Lux have just begun their ship
ment, 5000 head being shipped in this
past week and several thousand will
be shipped In within the next ten days
according to their agents. Most OF
the ranchers are getting from $3.50 to
IS per ton for their hay.

Improved Dairy Herds Mean
Much to Carson Valley Interests

While it is an admitted fact that the
greatest need of Carson Valley is an
adequate storage system, reclamation
is not the only avenue through which
added prosperity may be realized by
the farming interests of Douglas coun-
ty, according to one of the best in
formed farmers of this community.
In making an estimate of the an
farmers of Carson Valley, one would
be reasonably sure to put the figures
at three million dollars. This ques-
tion has been put to a dozen or so
men during the past week and all an
swered in millions, but the fact re-
mains, as is revealed from carefully
prepared statistics that the total an
nual income of the farmers of Carson
Valley from all sources will not pass
the million mark.
Can that amount be increased to any
great amount without increasing the
area of cultivated lands? was the ques-
tion put to II. f. Dangberg yesterday,
and he declared that 1t could. He
cited the fact that there were but three
dairy herds in Carson Valley that
were bringing their owners $40 per
COW per month; that the general av-
erage of all herds is about 81 per COW,
or about SO per cent efficient, accord
ing to the standard ratings of cows In
centers where modern dairy methods
are being followed

RICkEY LAW SUIT ARGUED
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

The law suit of Mrs. Dora Hickey
against the Douglas Milling and Pow
er Company, which was appealed to
the supreme court after plaintiff had
been awarded a verdict by jury in
the district court of this county, was
argued before the supreme court at
Carson Tuesday. Plat & Sanford ap-
peared as attorneys for the plaintiff
while Geo. A. Montrose and Grant
Miller presented the arguments for
the defendants, corporation COM
posed of Carson Valley men. While in
ordinary cases an hour and half is
allowed to each side to present argu-
ments, this being a case of great inn
portance, the attorneys were given
two hours and half and nearly the
entire day was given over to the
lawyers representing both sides in
the suit.

SPANISH WAR VET RECALLS
EVENTS OF THOSE DAYS

George Kitzmeyer was here from
Carson City Tuesday. and while talk
ing about American Legion doing, es-
pecially the Armistice Day celebra-
tion to be held In Gardnerville on No
vember IL. for which elaborate pre-
parations are being made. reminded
his hearers that while not of the
American Legion. he. too, had served
in the army of the United States.
Soon after the battleship Maine was
DESTROYED In Havana harbor by a
Spanish mine, resulting In war being
declared against that country, two
troops OF cavalry were recruited in
Carson, but for some reason or an
other Mr.. Kitzmeyer was not accepted.
Later a battalion was recruited and
Mr.. kitzmeyer became a member of
Company ID, composed entirely of Car
son City and Carson Valley men, with
the exception of a few who were se-
cured at Woodland, Calf.
Mr.. Kitzmeyer. who had secured a
smattering OF military work In the
Carson guards, secured the appoint
ment OF top sergeant, and through a
trick Of fate, acted as captain or
lieutenant at practically all of the
drill work. He knew every man of his
company personally and became SO
we'll acquainted with them. that al
though twenty-three years have
elapsed since he called the roll of
that outfit. he can today start at the
head Of his company and go down the
list OF one hundred men with hardly
a. mistake, and for the most part rat
tie off the names of his command as
though 1t was a duty of yesterday.

SMITH VALLEY PIONEER
DIED AT BERKELEY

Timothy Smith, after whom Smith
Valley was named, and who at one
time owned large tract of land in
that section, died at Berkeley, Calf.
last Monday at the age of eighty
seven years. Deceased settled in
Smith Valley in 1853 and engaged In
the dairy business. He owned range
in the Pine Nut district where the
dairy was ranged during the summer
an to this day it is known as the Smith
ranch, although nothing remains of
the place but portions of a broken
down fence to mark the early-day ac-
tivities of Mr.. Smith.

1t has been contended for years
that the only avenue whereby the re-
sources of Carson Valley could be in
creased is through the cultivation of
more land, and while this is reason
ably true, the dairy COW offers an
greater source of revenue than can
d achieved through any other source.
Today there is big surplus of hay
in Carson Valley and there is no pos
sible chance of disposing of all of 1t
In foreign markets. Many farmers
are out buying sheep and cattle for
feeding purposes with an idea of cre-
ating a market for the. surplus crops.
It is cited that If the dairy herds of
Carson Valley were doubled they
would consume much of the surplus
hay that Is now hunting market
1t is outside money that proves the
greatest factor in bringing prosperity
to farming country and when the
time arrives that the total annual in
come of the farmers of Carson VAL
ley is around four million dollars in
stead Of one million. every land owner
in Carson Valley will feel the added
prosperity In no uncertain way, as will
every line OF business.
Carson Valley needs a great storage
irrigation system, but 1t also needs a
betterment of dairy conditions first,
according to leading farmers who can
see the incalcuable good that would
result

HAROLD MEDER
|. CALLEOBYOEATH
HOST OF FRIENDS PAY BEAUTI-
FUL TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF
POPULAR YOUNG MAN AT
BURIAL SERVICES

Harold Meder, who underwent an
operation a week ago last Tuesday for
appendicitis and which was followed
Saturday night by a second operation
for serious complications, passed
away early Monday morning. The
young man put up a gallant fight for
J life which was most dear to him be-
cause of the responsibilities that he
felt for his loving wife and two dar-
ling babies, but it was not to be, and
the golden strand of life parted and
the spirit of Harold Meder returned
to Him who gave it, bringing deep sad
ness to his dependents and relatives
and profound sorrow to every person
in this community.
Deceased was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. A. Meder and was born In
Carson City April 3, 1901. When quite
small boy, his parents came to this
community. He attended the public
schools here and before he finished
high school went into business with
his father.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Lille Jacobsen and as result of the
union, two children were born. Some
two years ago he accepted a position
with the Farmers Mercantile Com
pany at Minden and until the day he
went to the hospital was a trusted
employe of that firm.
Harold Meder was a splendid ex-
ample of young manhood, being re-
spected and honored by every person
in this community, and his clean man
ner of living won for him host of
warm friends. He showed his extreme
love and attentiveness to his beloved
wife and his devotion to his two dar-
ling babies, and his last words were
for them. He did not fear the great
adventure that he knew was coming,
but he did regret to the depths of his
big heart that death was to separate
him from those that were near and
dear to him = that which made life
worth living
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon from the Lutheran church,
Rev. Felten officiating. The services
were largely attended and nearly one
hundred automobiles were in the
funeral cortege. Interment took place
in Garden Cemetery.
| The casket was showered with
beautiful floral tributes attesting to
the esteem in which the young man
was held by the people Of this COM
munity.
Besides his beloved widow and two
small children he is survived by his
parents Mr.. and Mrs. H "A Meder,
two brothers, Lester and Roy, his
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. Lar
son and Mrs. Kaiser Of Richmond, Cal,
besides other relatives residing in
California and Nevada.
The grief stricken widow ~and par
ents of this young man have the most
profound sympathy of the people of
Carson Valley in their hour of great
sorrow.

Butter Company has manufactured 4,
900 pounds of butter daily and the ay-
erage price paid has been fifty cents
per pound. Records of the past twen-
ty years reveals the fact that the ay-
erage price received by the dairymen
of Carson Valley to be thirty cents
per pound.
Through the Improvement of dairy
herds and the standard raised to O
point where each COW would bring an
income of $14 per month, instead of 81,
which would be very easy to accom-
plish, and the number of COWS In
creased 100 per cent, 1t would mean
that instead of daily output Of two
tons of butter. the amount would be
eight tons. A thirty cents per pound,
which has been the general average
over the past twenty years. the dairy
herds of Carson Valley would bring to
their owners approximately $4,000, 900
per annum. To this would be added
the present total income of one mil
lion, making the grand total about
four million a year.
These figures have been furnished
the Record-Courier by farmers who
are deeply interested in the dairy In
dustry of Carson Valley, and who have
joined the movement started last
spring through the Carson Valley
Dairy Association which has for Its
purpose the upbuildlng of dairy herds
