fallon Will BE Visited BY Veteran
Cleanup Committee ON
September Both

Officers of the Fallon Post Amer
ican Legion and DR.. F. e. Nichols,
medical examiner for the pension
bureau of the interior department,
have received notification of an in
tended visit by the members of the
Veteran Cleanup Campaign Com
mittee." This contingent will be
with US on Sept 30th and Oct 1st
and the two days will be devoted to
receiving claims from ex-service
men for financial recognition from
the federal government. Requests
for vocational training, medical and
dental services will be received.
The local chapter of the Red
Cross has been advised that as the
result of the late survey of disabled
veterans that were found in the di-
vision embracing California, Ari-
zona, Utah and Nevada, $50 men in
need of medical ad hospital care who
were either unwilling, because of
Misunderstanding, to claim care
from the government or who had
not known how to make their
claims in proper form.
Men with a physical disability re-
sulting from service are entitled to
compensation from the war risk bu-
reau. II the disability prevents
them. from returning to pre-war jobs
they are entitled to training under
the federal board for vocational ed
ucation at government expense in
Guiding subsistence allowance which
also provides for dependents. A time
limit has been placed on the appli-
cation however, so action should be
taken at once.
The United States public health
service will provide medical, surgi-
cal or dental treatment necessitated
as a result of injury received in
service.
If the facts warrant, transporta-
tion will be furnished from the
homes of ex-service men and women
to the nearest town to be visited by
the travelling cleanup squad. But
the squad does not know about each
and every case and will be unable
to give attention unless first sup
piled with information or applicants
appear before them. Therefore
men whose cases should be handled
by the squad in Fallon September
30 and October l should Immediate
ly avail themselves of the offer OF
assistance by the Red Cross and
other organizations. II living at a
distance communicate your name,
address, former organization, full
statement of facts upon which claim
is based, place where you can meet
squad, name of railroad or stage
line over which you will travel, and
date of leaving.

DRILLER WRIGHT HAD
CLOSE CALL IN ACCIDENT

Driller h. E. Wright. employed
by the Syndicate Oil Company at the
drilling enterprise on the Jones &
Jewell ranch In the Island district,
narrowly escaped death early Sun
day morning when repairs we're be-
ing effected to one of the big gaso-
line engines forming part of the
drilling outfit. He had his head
within the big hywheel when the
engine backhred and inflicted an
ugly wound just above the left ear.
Every drop OF gasoline had prev
iously been drained from the tank
and the explosion is believed to
have been occasloned by small
amount of the fluid that remained
within the engine. Only the fact
that the hywheel was forced but a
fraction of revolution saved Mr..
Wright from instant death, accord
ing 10 his attending physician, who
states that he will be unable TO
work for several weeks.

CITY PARK LAWN PRESENTS
CERTAIN RAFFLING PROBLEM.

Nowhere in this valley are the
potent qualities of our af1uvial soils
better exampled than at the city
park where plot of grass was
planted last May. Jacks beanstalk,
OF childhood's lore, isn't a circum-
stance. Prof. J. ]. Beatty, of the
grammar schools. and his corps of
kid workers prepared the ground
and planted the seed and the re-
sponse came like magic. John p.
Snyder, park caretaker. applied wa
ter in plenitude. The result is
battling. John Oats was impressed
into service with his biggest team of
horses and mower and the luxuri-
ance of the grass stalled the horses
The power mower at the county
high school was borrowed and its
mechanical exactness was helpless
in the redundancy of the under
growth. City Engineer l.. W Gre
hore was plainly at his wits end
The subject was revived at the
commercial club meeting Monday
evening and E. H. Hursh. assistant
manager for the Williams Estate
Company, volunteered the services
of band of sheep and his proffer
was accepted. If park frequenters
should find a bunch of pot bellied
and distressed sheep within the
halcyon spot during the next few
days the why's and wherefores are
hereby explained.

Earlier in the evening the swim

Plan Campaign
Interest of Sport
ofeenhead Club Membership To
Work For Perpetuation of
Rights Here

The Greenhead club Is to have a
get-together meeting at the Depp
hall on Friday evening and the oc-
easlon is to be utilized for roviving
enthusiasm in hunting ondeayor
among the people who belong to the
organization. This club has been
sponsored from the date of its or
ganization several years ago by the
leading business and professional
men OF western Nevada who have
plainly benefited in a multitude of
ways through the activities of the
club.
Hunting privilege was restored In
the Carson lake vicinity through
the clubs efforts, game bird plant
ing was effected in this valley, and
many other enterprises calculated
FOR the nimrods benefit were ma
tured and the value of the organi-
zation has been so fully shown thai
1t would seem unnecessary to recite
at considerable length the many
club activities of the past. These
have been social aside from the pro-
motion OF sportsmanship and the
club counts very loyal member
ship body.
But changed conditions threaten
and these may bring an annulment
of hunting privilege around the in
land lakes south and east of this
city Powerful influences are at
work to create these into bird pre-
serves and what is deemed an in
alienable local right may be lost.
Heretofore, residents OF Reno, Car
son City, Tonopah, and many other
Nevada towns have joined with Fal-
lonites in shooting In the lower
reaches of this valley and these
should join to combat the movement
that is now manifest in California
and other western states.
The next meeting of the club
should be generally attended and
nothing should remain undone that
will tend TO maintain for Nevadans
the shooting right.
The subject is further discussed
in the advertising columns OF this
newspaper.

BIG SEA COW SIGHTED BY
 FISHERMEN

Los Angeles. Oct. 1S.-The old salts down at Los Angeles Harbor, who have sailed the Seven Seas and then some, are discussing a yarn tn t was related by members of the crew of the Viz-Four, fishing smack, on their arrival here from near Santa Rosa Flats.
 "Oh, by gee! by gum! by gcsh," exclaimed the ancient mariners, when the fishermen told this tale:
 That when the Viz Four left Santa Rose a sta1nge creature was noticed floating about the ship. It was about eight feet long; weighed at least 500 pounds: had bulging eyes and blond hair. One of the crew wanted to get a rife to fire on the sea. giant, but the skipper demurred, and, after swimming about a little while longer, the creature sank beneath the waves.
 'I'll admit I've seen some queer things in my tfme," said one salt. "but I never did see anything of this kind, even B. P. Ca nautical term for before prohibition). But some orful queer things happen in California and along its coast"

U. $. NAVY BUYS
 HISTORIC YACHT
 AMERICA FOR $1

Washington. Oct. 1s-The United States Navy has just bought one of the most famous boats in the world. It cost the Government S1.
 The historic yacht America, first winner of the cup from England, is now a navy ship. Through the gem erous cooperation of a number of patriotic men, including Secretary of War Weeks, the old yacht has been rescued from her old berth at Bos- ton, where she rested for years, re- conditioned, and lowed down the coast by a sub-chaser to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Here she was present ed to the Navy by Charles Francis Adams, skipper of the Resolute, on behalf of the Eastern Yacht Club of Boston. Rear-Admiral Henry B. Will son officially received the boat for the Navy. The trip was made under the command of William U. Swan.
 The plan originally was to present the boat to the Navy. The Navy, how ever, is not allowed to receive a gift, accordingly the department pur- chased the boat by paying S1.
