ALFALFA GROWERS
FORM BIG POOL

The first step i'll the largest CO.
operative plan ever tried in this val
ley was successfully completed at g
o'clock Thursday evening, according
TO the Falon Eagle, when the alfalfa
growers completed and totaled up the
signatures and tonnage subscribed to
the atlanta pooling agreement. The
results of the canvass are very encour-
aging i'll at least two respects. The
total marketable hay in the valley
is now definitelyknown and is much
less than previous estimates, which
would indicate that the problem of
marketing will be much easier than
was anticipated In round numbers
the tonnage to be moved, including
the Fernlcy crop, docs not exceed 49,
0OOtons. About $4,000 tons OF this
is in Churchill county and 5000 at
Fernley. The aact that over 8 per
cent of this crop was signed up prac-
tically by volunteer effort on the part
of the farmers in the short time set.
is the most encouraging evidence OF
a cooperative spirit ever manifested
in this community.
This hay is now in the complete
control oil the five companies of the
pool and no time will be lost in
spreading the information to the hay
trade in our prospective markets that
the era of unlimited and ruinous
price-cutting has been definitely
stopped Marketing plans have al
ready been under consideration but
have not reached POINT to warrant
announcement 1t can lc sail hat
some very encouraging ind;cat oAs
are noted and prospects are good for
successful movement q. the hay.
While the required 80 per ccnt is
already subscribed, it is expected that
large proportion of the hay on hand
outside will also be signed UP and
added to the pool Ninety or nine
ty-five per cent will place the pool
in much stronger position than
SO per cent. All parties interested
are urged to continue their efforts
to make this pool as nearly 100 per
cent institution as possible.

AMT 1T A FACT?

Representative George Huddleston
hits the nail on the head when he
says--I object to the system that has
grown up of butchering President
OF the United States to make Wash
ington holiday. These inaugural
ceremonies have become so tainted
with low order of commercialism
as to be unworthy of our great
country. The whole scheme is to get
as many people to come to Washing
ton so as to make good business for
the hotels. boarding house keepers.
and people who have something they
want to sell 1t is not for the pur-
pose of inuagurating our Chief EX-
ccutive in becoming and dignified
manner, but TO draw a great mob, to
get everybody who will come to
Washington to stare opcn-mouthcd,
rom a distance, at the inaugural eXcr-
cises. then to shiver around the streets
for few hours preliminary to giving
up to the cormorants, proliteers and
highwaymen that we have around
this city what money they have in
their pockets.

held at Salt Lake City last week by
representatives or the states interested
in waters of the Colorado river. the
legislatures of Arizona, Colorado. Ne

THE CHILD AND
THE KINDERGARTEN

The Bureau of Education at Wash
ngton, d. c., is constantly issuing
interesting literature in regards to
kindergarten work. The following
notes were taken from some oil the
pamphlets urging the support OF Kin
dergartens-
1T is most interesting to watch how
children oil different temperments and
with different home training find
themselves in the social life of the
kindergarten.
Teach children by children. II
men were made for men. SO are chill
rem for children, only much more
beautifully Richter.
But through their play kindergar-
ten children are not only learning the
give and take OF social life but what
they play about fosters an interest in
the life around them, and they be-
gin to understand it better
Young children do not learn in
contemplativc way, as do their elders.
They must work out their thoughts in
concrete expression, and though the
form OF that expression be very crude
it does represent thinking When an
idea has been expressed, whether it be
in conversation or in writing, in draw
ing or in clay. the next thinking is
always clearer. We are SO accustom-
ed to thinking of education in terms
of a, b, c's that we may not realize
that it takes intelligence for child
to express the essential characteristics
of the objects about him in paper
cutting or block building or in other
materials"
"And when little hands can work
skillfully with scissors, brush and
crayon, the step to writing is very
short one. As the twig is bent, the
trees inclined.
1t may be of interest to add that
the kindergarten attendance in Yering-
ton this year is better than Tor the
last three years. At present ~ little
people, between the ages of and 6.
are enjoying the benefits of we'll
equipped kindergarten. Three os
