Rev. f. X. Menzel, who will shortly
leave for San Francisco to accept a
position as city missionary for the
Lutheran congregations of that city,
tee of the Gardnerville public schools,
according to a statement made yester-
day by Deputy Superintendent Burr.
Superintendent Burr states that un-
less special election is held to Sc
lect successor W Rev Menzel, 1t will

tremely desirous OF having the resi-
dents of the school board select the

tion the following school law, govern
ing the filling OF vacancies, Is pub
lished:
"On the fourth Saturday after the
occurance of any vacancy or vacancies
In any board of school trustees, an
election may be held to elect trus-
tee or trustees for the remainder of
the unexpired terms. Such election
shall be conducted In accordance with
the law now In effect for the election
OF public school trustees; provided,
that the remaining member or mem
bers OF the board may serve as a full
board for the purpose of making all
required preliminary arrangements
for conducting said elections to fill
said vacancies"
Mr.. Burr stated to a representative
of this paper that the present board
OF school trustees had already made
a recommendation for the appoint
ment of a successor to Rev. Menzel.
He also understood that others were
to make q recommendation, but in or
der to promote harmony, he would be
duty bound to appoint the person rec
ommended by the trustees, irrespec-
tive of other recommendations that
might be made. Mr.. Burr is very
desirous of having the people of the
district select a trustee TO fill the
vacancy and urges that special cleo
tion be held for that purpose. Ac-
cording to law the special election
must be held on June Is.

FORD PLANT BUILDS
l0s,ee2 IN JUNE

During the month Of June, the
Ford Motor Company, thru its De-
troit Factories and % Assembly
Plants throughout the county, reach
ed the production Of l0S,962 Ford
cars and trucks, setting up a new high
record for one month.
Production Of Ford cars and trucks
has been steadily increasing since
early Spring, and shows substantial
gains over the same period last year.
The second quarter of 1921, viz,
April, May and June, shows an out
put Of sol, 100 Ford cars and Trucks
against 220,S7S for the same three
months Of last year, or a net increase
of S0,91S.
Despite the fact, however, that the
Ford Plants have been running at
maximum capacity, the demand for
Ford cars and trucks is not being
met and at the present time, many
thousand untitled orders have been
piled up ahead 90 that Ford sales are
still limited BY manufacturing facil-
ties rather than marketing possibil-
ities. Particularly is this true with
respect to enclosed cars. for which
the demand 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
names have been added to the long
list of buyers might well have afford
ed larger and more costly cars than
the Ford, but ii is the belief that most
prospective motor car buyers are in
vesting all Of the costs incident to
motoring much more carefully than
at any period during the past five
years.
The estimated output of the Ford
Factories for July calls for 100000
cars and trucks, or a production Of
1850 q day for 25 days. Since the
assembling Of cars is being handled
during am eight hour work day only,
