The finance minister painted the
financial situation in the darkest COL

London conference. The greatest
skepticism reigns IN German political
circles. as Il is believed that Premier

facts and figures. but will insist
upon sanctions.

Be Evenly Matched
For Big Game

AS one of the big attractions for
the Fourth of July celebration, the
Yerington baseball team will cross
bats with the Gardnerville team In
the first game played by the two
mines this season. 1t is quite i'm
possible to tell the relative strength
of either team, although both have
been defeated by Fallon. 1t is safe
to assume, however, that It will be
closely contested game from start
to finish and the spectators will get
their moneys worth and then some
The game Is not to be played on
the high school diamond, this decision
having been made in order to have
the ball game and rodeo held on the
same ground. The Jensen pasture
has been secured for that day and
the ball game will be played there.
More room is available for specta-
tors and the parking of automobiles
and will prove great deal more
satisfactory that If held at the high
school diamond.
Manager Boone of the Gardnerville
team, declares that his men are
practicing nightly and expect to give
the Yerington lads a run for their
lives.

WHO OWNS THE
OLDEST AUTO
IN CAPTIVITY
Bring ont the Old Ones
and Win a Prize IN
The Parade

Who owns the oldest automobile
in this section?
That would be a hard question to
answer but 1t is safe to say that one
can see older automobiles any day
running around on the streets of San
Francisco than can be found in cold
storage anywhere in Nevada. This
at least proves that the Sagebrushers
are not content mith an automobile
of ancient vintage simply because it
runs but have some little pride In
Keeping up with the procession of
progress and the development of
modern automobiles. This is typify-
ing of progressive people, but
somewhere in this community is the
Oldest automobile and the owner of
this ancient bus. whoever he may be
is urged to tune 1t up and show it off
in the parade ON the Fourth. Two
prizes are offered as inducement to
bring forth the old machines.

Celebration For Utmost
Qualification OF People
OF Community

When In the course of human
events II becomes necessary to do
anything worth while, 1t right and
proper that 1t should be done we'll.
That is the spirit that is guiding the
committees in charge of the big
Fourth of July celebration to DC held
in Gardherville next Tuesday and the
people of this community may rest
assured that they will not be dis
appointed. Gardnerville is going to
celebrate Independence Day as 1t
never has been celebrated here be-
fore. The businss men and citizens
have subscribed literally to the fund
going to make up the purses and pay
ing the expenses of such an event.
This Is not done for their own
qualification or for personal gain, but
are inspired by the underlying princi-
pies of Americanism to celebrate one
OF the most important dates in Ameri-
can history and give some little evil
dence OF their gratitude for the many
bounties of gracious nation.
The people of Gardnerville do not
want to celebrate alone because they
are not selfish in their desires. They
want the people of the entire COM
munity to come and join with them In
observing Independence Day, You
will not regret spending the Fourth
OF July in Gardnerville and the busi-
ness men and citizens of this towp
tell the world that you are invited.

The rodeo bosses Is determined to
"let 'er buck" and have assembled
some Of the crack riders as we'll as

honoery fuz-tail horses ever rounded
up in this vicinity. They are tough

the $4,000 prize, will know he has

for a green-horn. because this class
OF riders will not stand a possible
chance against the experts that will
ride.
Sunday the town was full Of cow
boys getting line on the rules and
prizes and they are all out for the
$4,000 prize. However, a number of
them are not so sure about the $50
but feel reasonably certain that they
can PICK on the second prize OF $Z5.
Every rider that climbs onto the
back of a mustang. will receive IS
whether he stays there one second or
five minutes.
The rodeo is to be held on the ball
ground in the Jensen pasture, where
also there Is corrals for the wild
horses. There will be stout fence
between the bucking horses and the
spectators. and there will be no
possible chance OF injury to anyone

not looking for any fences to protect
the ground from catching them.
