Federal Government
Pays Part Indemnity
A. A. Towle to be Partially REIN.
bursed for Loss; State May
Furnish Funds

What will probably prove satis-
factory arrangement for the reim-
bursement of A. A. Towle for the
loss suffered from tubercular cattle
that were brought in from Califor-
mia has been made, according to L.
E. Cline, federal agriculturist.
Cline stated that federal aid to
the extent of twenty-five dollars per
head had been promised and that it
is very probable that state aid will
be given toward making up the loss.
Any indemnity that the state gives
will be paid from live stock as
sessment, he said.
The cattle will be slaughtered the
28th of this month under govern
ment inspection in Reno. No in
demnity from the state can be ex-
pected before February, is the opin-
ion of Cline.
Approximately fifty per cent of a
herd of cattle that was purchased
by Towle from California dairy
man reacted to the tubercular test
and as result will have to be kill
ed. 1t is considered probable that
Towle will receive something from
the slaughtered cattle.

work as the foundation of human
advancement and happiness.

Education Week
To Be Observed
American Legion Post Making Ar
rangemenfs for Programs In
Schools and Churches

Arrangements are now being
made by the Churchill post of the
American Legion, cooperating with
the National Education association
for an American Education week
from December 4th to 10th. All
other organizations educational, re-
ligious, fraternal and civic, have
been asked TO aid In carrying out q
program.
The main purposes of the week
are to inform the public of the ac-
complishments and needs of the pub
lie schools and to secure coopera-
tion and support of the public in
meeting these needs and to teach
and foster good Americanism, ac-
cording to a bulletin sent out by the
National Education association.
No service has suffered more
from unintelligent criticism than the
schools, says the bulletin. The av-
erage citizen does not read educa-
tional literature or accounts of
teachers meetings or visit schools to
learn what they are doing. He has
conception of school only as he
knew it in his own school days.
American Education week should
give the taxpayers who furnish the
funds for the public schools first
hand knowledge of the service for
which they pay.
The Legion committee of arrange
ments is composed of Harold Bellin-
ger, AL Reed and Edgar Maupin. All
ministers of all denominations will
be asked to preach upon the subject
of education on Sunday, December
4th. Mayor Clark has been asked to
issue proclamation calling upon
the people to observe the week.
Special attention will be given, to
furnishing a suitable program for
the schools. The principals and
teachers of the various schools will
be asked to cooperate with the COM
mittee.
It is planned to have talks deliv-
cred to the students of the schools
on one day of the week and have
the students write essays on approp-
riate themes on another day. Ef-
forts are being made to obtain priz-
es for the winning essays of the
schools.
Harold Bellingef department ad-
jutant. has written to all American
Legion posts In the state asking
that they cooperate in making the
week a national success.

Plan Larger Water
Supply For Fallon
Would Concentrate City Wells and
Develop New Field, Says
CrehOre

Tests will soon be made along the
river north of town, by the city en-
cheering department. for the pur-
pose of developing a larger water
supply for Fallon. 1t Is the plan of
the department, said Engineer Gre
hore, to test for surface wells to
serve as auxiliary supplies to the
two wells now In use, ON the Wing
field ranch and on Williams Avenue.
The program is to determine the
amount of water that can be obtain
ed by pumping and after the well is
cleaned out to have tests made at
the University of Nevada to deter
mine the fitness of the water for do
nestle purposes.
The department is working to-
ward the end of having the city wa
ter supply concentrated at one
source. 1t is essential In the opin-
ion of the city engineer, that more
water be obtained and a field that
will eventually supply the entire
town is being sought.
