TO WHOM It
MAY CONCERN

There is a story going around that
Frank Simpson fell down on the job
as Director on the storage proposi-
ton and that they put one over on
him in Yerington.
If any one has evidence to tha
effect let him show it.
Do you know that the people under
the Saroni Ditch would not have any
Water Right, if Frank Simpson had
not filed on it for them. at his own ex
pensc i'll 1910?
DO you know that the people under
the Simpson Ditch would not have
any water right if Frank Simpson had
not filed on it for them i'll 1918?
Do you know that MIR. Saroni would
not have done any development work
in Smith Valley if it was not for the
influence of Mr.. Frank Simpson?
Do geu know that Frank Simpson
gave fis time for over one year look
ing after Mr. Saroni's interest in Smith
Valley free of charge, to induce Mr.
Saroni to come here and do some
thing for the advancement OF Smith
Valley?
Do you know that Frank Simpson
sent word to Mr.. Saroni's attorneys,
Messrs. Platt & Sanford, that some one
was about to steal our Flood Water
Rights, and that they put up night
and secured them for MS:
DO YOU know that Frank Simpson
and Mrs Simpson. as officers of the
Simpson Ditch Company. drew no
salary:
Do YOU know tvho would, have
o,r Flood Water Rights, had not Mr.,
Frank Simpson filed on them tor US:
Did any of us pay him back the h'inS
iee:. Don't all speak at once
Do you think the balance OF the
people OF Smith Valley have done as
much for Water Storage and the good
of Smith Valley as Frank Simpson
has done ! don't
Wouldn't Netherton's own ranch be
valucless. had it not been for the hl'nSs
of Frank Simpson on water IN l9l''
The only real evidence OF putting
something over on Frank simpson
that has cropped out after all the rea'
hard time-taking work has been ac-
complishcd, is to give the job to soT''e
one else to reap the glory that IS
r;phtfullv due Frank Simpson.
When man has done the square
thing bv us. as has MIR. Simpson ne
should bc encouraged by reelection
VOTE FOR HIM.
Could anything be more UNJUST thar
to kick Mr. Simpson out. now tha'
the hard work is finished and Things
are running smoothly and well'
Another thing. Has Mr.. Netherton
the fine to spare for this work and
does he know anything about the work
anyway?
Who is Mr.. Netherton ,going TO
renresent? Is it not a fact that Mr.
Netherton was nominated or per-
suaded by outside people to run. and
not by the people OF Smith Valley
I feel that il we are not getting the
right representation by Mr.. simpson
we. in Smith Valley, should be the ones
to choose some one else as nominee.

years he conducted large grain inn
porting establishment in Hamburg,
which suffered with all other BUSH
ness establishments from the war.
Mr.. Hanno is widely known in fl
nancial and grain trade circles on
the Pacific coast He has represent
ed coast exporters in Europe, and
has also spent considerable time with
grain concerns in America.
THE establishment of foreign sales
agents is one OF the big things made
possible by the cooperative move
ment," declared Roy V. Perringer
one of the directors of the Washing
ton association, discussing the APP
pointment OF Mr. Hanno. who
would have guessed 10 years ago
that today we farmers of the North
west would have our own men in
Europe now looking up markets for
our products?
"Of course this step does not mean
that we are not ready and willing to
sell to exporting firms in this coun-
try But it does mean that we are
going to make sure, il such a thing
is possible, that we don't have to sell
to spectators and gamblers.
Last year, according to figures
brought out in a hearing at Wash
ington the process Of getting wheat
from America to Europe cost $780,
100000 more than it did the year
before--more than ST a bushel Part
of this was due to increased han
ding costs and increased transporta-
ton costs But maybe part also was
due to increased profits taken by
some exporters.
The opening of sales office in
London is movement of very great
possibilities 1t may be the begin
ming of a new epoch in the market
ing of wheat. 1t leaves no room for
the Spectator and grain gambler to
break into the wheat business and
absorb the cream of the farmers
profits, 1t will be the orderly SELL
ing of wheat in the way that the
other commodities in human affairs
are marketed 1t is the farmers
plan of getting away from the gro
tesque spectacle of having the price
of wheat fixed in the great gambling
house known as the Chicago wheat
