DO NOT ALLOW THE BODY
TO LAPSE LIKE OTHERS

The Chamber of Commerce of
Churchill County is admittedly a
very useful body. yet it's sphere of
usefulness Is dictated entirely by
the interest manifested by local
people who form its membership.
There are no IFS and and's, you
must attend meetings, enter into
discussion of community questions
and help In their settlement If the
club is to be what 1t should be. Ten
or twelve people cannot represent
four thousand, yet ten or twelve is
the number of people who can be
classed as regular attendants.
Stragglers come In occasionally, but
the attendance is not healthy and
can be much improved if club men,
bers would give the club its due.
The clubs officials and others OF
the loyal business men of Fallon are
deploring the lack of interest
evlnced in our commercial body OF
late and several have urged this
newspaper to lay the matter before
the public

FARM BUREAU NOTES

Meetings have been held at nine
community centers this month In
connection with the membership
drive. This work is receiving the
serious attention of each center.
The necessity and urgency of
getting the dues In now is quito
generally recognized. "A farmers
organization. strong enough and
comprehensive enough to be effect
i've" is the appeal because the or
ganization must be one that the
farmers themselves recognize and
support.
An organization is never any bet
ter than the support il gets. II
cannot be otherwise.
Any farmer can afford to support
this organization, both financially
and with a certain portion of his
time Time devoted to marketing is
we'll spent, especially at the present
period. when well placed products
bring enough to more than pay for
the time spent.

Start Work
Newlands Project Drainage VIII BE
Started Within the Next
Few Days

Announcements will probably be
made within the next few days con-
cerning a definite program which
will govern in the construction OF
the projected drainage system out
lined and explained previously by
reclamation authorities, and the di-
rectors of the board of the Truckee-
Carson irrigation district. II is
known that the government author
tiles purpose to proceed with this
work without delay and the receipt
of a favorable decision from Dis
quel to a long drawn out case in the
Churchill county district court.
would set dirt to flying in quick
order. II is held that the matter of
an appeal TO a higher court by the
protestants against drainage would
not suffice to further postpone the
fulfllment of the plans entertained.
II is also known that the govern
ment authorities in Washington are
firmly decided TO institute needed
drainage work independent of legal
procedure and have put forward
the reason that drainage is urgently
needed to protect Uncle Sans in
vestments here.
The repayment plan seems to be
the only question at issue in the
court proceedings set in motion re-
Gently by protestants. Finding the
way barred to an easy repayment,
no interest charge, scheme. the fed
eral authorities will doubtless un-
dertake drainage under the head of
supplemental maintenance and op
Grafton. and this plan would bring
an unduly heavy burden to many
land owners. The fact emphasized
by the reclamation service authori-
ties has to do with the intent of
high officialdom within the reclama-
tion service and this runs certain 10
drainage by some means as q pro-
tectiye innovation for the farm lands
of this valley as we'll as for the great
irrigation system serving them.
1t is announced that three drag
line excavators, already on hand as
Newlands project equipment, and
three others now on the way here,
will be set to work with the neces-
sary crews In different parts of this
valley. and tho first work will nat
urally be done where the needs are
greatest.
Neighborhoods south of this city
will probably be favored in advance
of others. although Project Mana
ger John F. Richardson has made
no statement. however, relative to
construction plans. The urgency of
the drainage need is greatest in
these neighborhoods. 1t Is asserted.
Whatever work done will be pri-
mary to the general scheme out
lined in advance of the water
users election when they declared
overwhelmingly In favor of drain
age for our lands. and will form a
part of a broad comprehensive plan
as a whole whenever the system is
completed.

Railroad Lands
Bought U.S.. R. S.
Project Manager John +. Richard
son in Receipt of Authority to
Purchase

Evidence tnat the reclamation
service expects definitely to proceed
with the construction of the dam at
Spanish Springs valley which would
give the Newlands Project addition
al storage and make possible the de-
velopment of vast areas of lands now
virgin, is contained in the instruc-
tion received yesterday by Project
Manager John F. Richardson to pro-
eeed to San Francisco and acquire
by outright purchase about 1900
acres of railroad company owned
lands, lying within the projected
Spanish Springs reservoir site.
A very satisfactory price had al
ready been made by the railroad
company TO the representatives of
the governpent, and the outlay is
not great, the real significance of the
transaction arising from the intent
shown by the government to pro-
ceed with the building of the great
impounding dam and the water &s-
tribution system which would be
served by II.
Prof. j. S. Diller, one of the noted
geologists of the United States, will
be on the project in few days and
will make Investigations of the ge-
ology that will be encountered in
the dam construction work. Project
Manager John F. Richardson ex-
poets to start diamond drilling at
the dam site within short time to
supplement the drilling work al
ready effected.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS DID
NOT REPORT AT MEETING

The chamber of commerce meet
ing held Monday evening was one of
the quiet kind with nothing on the
table to evoke debate or attract un-
usual attendance. It had been
thought earlier that the conclusions
of the board of directors of the
Truckee-C Carson irrigation district
on the plan put forward by the Reno
chamber of commerce for a general
western Nevada movement for a full
utilization of all surplus waters,
would be on hand but this was
lacking and desultory discussion was
INDUCED on many minor topics, but
definiteness was given to none, ac-
cordig to the report of Secretary W.
X. Davis. of the commercial body.

CANTELOUPE INDUSTRY
rs PROMISING MUCH

The cantaloupe industry is giving
promise of fulfilling expectations
The members of the board of di-
reetors have been working faith
fully and steadily to put every de-
tail on as certain a basis as pos
sible.
A packing shed has been spoken
for and a packing house manager il
to be engaged when the right man
presents himself.
II has been decided 10 sell the
product locally where possible, and
In northern California, Oregon and
Washington. Enough melons are to
be shipped east to advertise the
crop we'll for the future
The reports that come from Cali
fornia would indicate that the Fal-
Ion product will be on the market
at about the same time as the melon
from the Turlock region. This is q
boost for the project as a whole In
its capabilities of producing as early
as these older regions.
The directors are trying 10 get a
more advantageous freight rate
from the Southern Pacific and II
seems probable that such a rate will
be forthcoming.
The contracts will be ready at the
next directors meeting, TO be held
today. and all those who can should
come in and sign up. The county
agent will have these contracts at
the farm bureau Office and growers
can sign at any time.

AND WIND TO HEAR OSBORN'S
OPENING SERMONS
(Contributed)

The Drummer Evangelist, T. II.
Osborn, sledge-hammered the 0s-
born adaptation of the gospel of
Christ into the hearts and minds of
approximately three hundred per-
sons at the Epworth Methodist
church on Sunday. 1t was Osborn S
entry into Fallon, and 1t was the be-
ginning of the greatest revival the
town has ever known. He is the
most remarkable preacher Fallon
has ever seen and different from any
other preacher of the gospel Fallon
has. Originality marked every
thing that Osborn did.
The Sunbeam chorus of forty
boys and girls, and large adult
choir led the singing. A special
stand has been built for the SUD-
beam chorus and their singing was
worth coming miles to hear. Mel
Vile Hancock sang "The Song of the
Sunbeam" and at one time during
the song service when the congrega-
tion had sung the chorus Can the
Lord Depend on You, the song
leader. Rev. Henry A. Hoyt asked II
anyone would volunteer to sing
alone. Three little girls responded,
Pauline Williams, Venita Beatty and
Melba Hursh. Their closing num-
ber Mary and a-Martha's Just
Gone Long" brought applause from
the congregation. The choir sang
Hes a Friend of Nine"
Evangelist Osborn spoke from the
text, "And Behold, the whole city
came out to meet Jesus; and when
they saw Him, they.besought Him
that He would depart out of theiI
coasts

OUR NICE LITTLE CITY
is DREADFULLY UPSET

The natural protectors of Fallon
have been deeply worried lately
about the crowds that have collected
in alleys and on street corners;
dark, mysterious whisperings have
been heard here and there. "Abso-
lutely maddening." said tho high
chief sheriff to the much disturbed
and perturbed judge. Don't worry
folks; the crowds are the young
sters and tho whisperings are OF the
big masquerade ball next Saturday
night.

FALLON WIRELESS STATION
IN TOUCH WITH COAST

Naval Operator Weiser visited
Russell Bunch, at his home on
Broadway street recently and using
his telephony equipment heard con-
versations from nearly all of the
Pacific coast compass stations, some
being registered more clearly than is
the case at many of the coast
plants. A ship station was copied
from an offshore distance of ITO
miles. Mr.. Weiser emphasized the
apparent fact that atmospheric con-
ditions are exceptionally favorable
in western Nevada for wireless op-
erations and that the interference
between stations is negligible.

MORE WINGFIELD COWS ARE
HERE FOR PROJECT FARMERS

G. r. Leidy returned to Fallon
Sunday with several cars of dairy
stock, shipped in from the Wood
land. Calf. district which are being
sold to Newlands project farmers
who are embracing the dairying
idea very rapidly. A total of 1877
head of stock, principally fresh
cows, were brought in by Mr.. Lejdy.
He anticipates the sale of these
within the next few days and will
return to the Sacramento valley for
additional COWS, now under test In
the dairying district between Wood
land and Dixon.

Legion Boys
Advance City
Fallon Now Has American Legion
Post That Ranks Next to
Reno's Post

Fallon people may take satisfac-
.tion in the fact that their little
eity's prominence is being main
tanned by the hustling. patriotic
young men who constitute the mem
bership of Churchill Post, which has
lately been forced into a position
second only to Reno among the
posts in the state. The membership
is now 103 with every prospect that
II will soon exceed the high mark
reached last year when 126 ex-ser-
vice men paid dues. Bryan Lave
aga, Edgar Maupin, Harold Bellin-
ger and others of the Post are work
ing unremittingly to make their or
ganization all that is possible. and
the enterprises furthered by the
Post are distinctly of value to Fal-
Ion community. Not the least of
these is the cemetery Identification
scheme undertaken and practically
matured at a considerable cost in
money and energy.
With characteristic resolution the
Legion boys are laying plans for ad-
ditional activities next year in con-
neetion with cemetery improve
ments and Fallon's single burial
place is TO be made a slightly spot,
entirely reminiscent of those of our
loved ones who have passed on.
Many other activities of conse-
quence 10 this community may be
accredited to the Legion's activities
and Fallon people generally should
stop for the moment and give credit
TO the enthusiastic lads who proved
their value overseas and in canton
ments and are now further exampl-
ing their splendid qualities of citi-
zenship by doing needful things for
their home town.

Millions of them-your mother,

Tanning is president of the Royal
Worcester Corset Co. At 92 he's
still on the job every day, molding
the feminine form as you see it de-
lineated by the street suit or the eve
ming gown.
For 60 years-since the days Of the

changed their shape as Tanning has
decreed

Uncanny intuition as to the likes
and dislikes of Dame Fashion is the
answer.

King. "While the design of the cor
set to some extent is governed by tn
style of dress, | cannot wait unit
the dressmakers have their Iates

81 have studied the corset bushes
for 60 years, and that is not too Ion
time in which to acquire the nece'

Tanning was born in JeWett Git,
Conn, in 1880. At the age of 7
was left an orphan and lived wit
