CHILD HEALTH IS
| EXTRA GOOD HERE
Health Survey in Grammar School
Develops Fact That Children
of Winnemucca Are More
Healthy Than Usual

A recent survey of health condi-
tions among scholars of the Win
nemucca grammar school developed
the fact that they average far above
children of some other cities in the
matter of physical fitness, which
fact should be gratifying news to
most people. The survey was made
by Miss A. N. Airth, public health
service nurse, and her figures show,
among other things, that the degree
of undernourishment among schol-
ars here averages fiften per cent,
which, when compared to an aver
age of 35 per cent in one of the
Reno schools, shows that the Winnie
mucca children are well prepared
for the battles of life.
Other news items Cleaned from
Principal L. A. McFadden include
the fact that Christmas vacation
his year is to commence with the
close of school week from tomor-
row, December %, reconvening IL
days later, or Tuesday, January 2,
1928. At present some class OBJ
servances of the Christmas season
are to take the form of Christmas
trees in the lower grades while the
higher grades are to have assembly
classes in which the significance of
the season will be taught. Though
.ownspeople are welcome at the
schools at all times, Professor Nc
Fadden said, no general public OBJ
iervance of the season is to be held
he holding to the opinion that all
may proftably take part in the
community Christmas tree plans of
the American Legion, to be held in
the Nixon opera house December
"a.
A total of $107.05 was collected
during the playground tag day drive
last Saturday, with some other small
sums promised yet to be paid, ac-
cording to the principal. This sum
will go far in the purchase of play
ground equipment, such as basket
balls, footballs and so on. More
playground equipment of other sorts
is needed, however, and will be
bought as rapidly as possible. Hori
zontal bars, an overhead ladder
swings and slides now constitute
the playground equipment and while
it may appear adequate it is found
that when the large number of chill.
dren attending school are out to
play that many more pieces could
be used. 1t is now proposed to
add another overhead ladder ant
travelling rings. Plans will be made
this year for a playground and
athletic tournament to be held al
the grammar school grounds next
spring, in which all pupils will par
ticipate.

POVERTY
OVER RICH HOME

If an ordinary girl had her
choice of being a lady with a
stately genealogical tree, or wife
to the captain of a fishing smack,
it is probable she would prefer
Partisan school, party frocks and
two aristocratic aunts. But she is
not an ordinary girl. She is Gladys
Walton, a Universal star, who mas a
family crest of imposing device, as
any genealogical book will show.
Yet in her picture, "The Rowdy,"
which to be shown at the American
theatre tonight Miss Walton chooses
the humble life in a fishing village
in preference to society flapper's
existence. For in the colony of
sturdy fishermen, there is adven-
ture, and the love for which every
girls waits, while in the stately
home she is offered, there is moth
ing but a monotonus stiffness and
the kindly affection of two old
people.
The picturesque settings of "The
Rowdy" make is picture notable
for its scenic beauty. 1t is replete
with thrills-a fight with whales
the struggles between a mans de-
sire and a girls cleverness, a sea
clash between men for supremacy
in love.

LEGION CHRISTMAS TREE
PLANS GROWING DAILY

The proposal of the American
Legion members of Vernon Robins
post in this city to provide a COM

opera house on the afternoon of
Sunday, December "a, is meeting
with general approval, according to
a statement issued today by Com
mander Duane Bush, and many
merchants and townspeople are of
fering the Legion boys their sup
port, as well as making liberal
donations. The Western Pacific
railroad is to haul free of charge a
huge Christmas tree for the oc-
casion, use of the hall is to be
donated by Manager 0astler of the
theatre, while merchants and others
are donating tree trimmings and
gifts. The plan includes remem.
bance of each little child who will
attend the affair with gift in
keeping with the occasion. The
program is to be held during the
hours 2 to a o'clock in the after
noon of December "a.

SNOW GETTING DEEPER AT
POINTS OUTSIDE OF CITY

Telephone communications with
people residing outside of this city
indicate that the snowstorms of the
last few days have been general
and that great quantities of snow
have fallen. At Paradise Valley
yesterday snow was falling in a
manner that indicated heavy
storm, and at White House two
feet of snow covered the ground.
At Gold Circle there was about 18
inches of snow and it has become
necessary to use a sled for stage
purposes into the mining camp.
Locally about four inches of snow
turned to slush yesterday, with
more snow falling, while today
frozen snow and ice greet pedes-
trians.

ELABORATE PREPARATIONS
MADE FOR NEW YEARS BALL

Plans for an even more elaborate
cabaret ball to celebrate the passing
of the old year and to welcome the
new are being made by members Of
Vernon Robins post, American Le-
gion, and if the boys are enabled to
make good on their promise of
something better than the affairs
they have sponsored during the last
two years they will be accomplish
ing the seemingly impossible.
Unfortunately New Years eve
falls on Sunday this year and for
that reason the cabaret will hold
sway on Saturday night, December
80. 1t is said that already, with
very little publicity, several appli-
cations for table reservations have
been made and the people in general
seem to be quite enthusiastic over
the coming event.
Some high class professional
entertainment is promised for this
years cabaret ball, which will prob
ably be greatly appreciated by spec.
tators. The Legion men have moi
yet announced how far they in.
tend to pursue their intention OF
importing talent for the occasion
but the impression is gained thai
they will do as they did last year
keep adding to the entertainment
features until their money is ex
hausted.
Celebration of New Years eve ir
Winnemucca, since the close OF
the war, has grown to mean enter.
tainment by the Legion, and each
year the occasion has resulted ir
what is termed cabaret ball
wherein tables are distributed about
the Nixon at which guests sit dur
ing dance intermissions and Will,
entertainers hold the floor, refresh
ments and soft drinks taking tn,
place of what used to be servet
in the bygone cabaret days.

DATA IS AVAILABLE
FOR TWO PROJECTS
Water Flows of Little Humboldt
River and Martin Creek Meas
ured; Data ls Available
for Irrigation Reports

The first official report of the
water flow of the Little Humboldt
river and Martin creek, determined
by continuous readings of water
gauges, has been received by Coun-
ty Farm Bureau Agent ]. w. Will
son. The work of measuring the
stream flows was undertaken by the
United States Geological Survey,
which now attends to the reading
of the gauges and the compilation
of resulting data, in cooperation
with the Farm Bureau and the
state engineers office. The figures
are for the year ending September
80.
The flows of the streams are very
similar, the Little Humboldt measur-
ing 28,100 acre feet per year,
while Martin creek registered 49,
400 acre feet. These figures are
for the year just passed. The fig
ures further show that Martin creek
during the winter months flows
eight cubic feet per second, having
risen to 1876 cubic feet per second
termed second feet) during the
month of May. The Little Hum
boldt has an average of IL cubic
feet per second during the winter
months, rising to 201 high water
at high water in May. 1t should be
understood, however, that the high
water mark might be reached dur
ing March or April in other years,
the season this year having been
unusually late.
These figures are valuable as
showing the total flow of water in
the streams, to the end that il
water storage is contemplated they
will furnish reliable data upon
which to base a report as to irrigat-
ing possibilities. The work of meas
uring is to be continued.
Surveys Of these two streams
have been made by the state engi-
neer's office, it will be remembered,
funds being used from the surplus
remaining after the survey of the
Owyhee project, for which the legis-
lature appropriated money. These
surveys were made with a view to
determining the possibilities of water
storage systems and the generating
of electric power for use in pump
ing irrigating water from subter-
anean wells of shallow depth, which
abound in this vicinity. It is un-
derstood that a preliminary report
has been made upon these surveys,
which, however, is not for publica-
tion because of the danger of error
in the findings. The final report
of the surveys will probably be
made during the coming months,
with hope expressed that the prof.
ects may be feasible and later lead
to the greatest need of this state
scientific irrigation projects, Of
which hydro-electric power is q
natural concomitant.

NORTH SIDE SEWER SYSTEM
COMPLETED, READY FOR USE

The sewer system that has lately
been under construction is now
completed and in working order.
The construction work has been
under direction of the mayor and
city council, with w. L. Akin in
charge. The design and layout of
the system was the work of R. E.
Tilden, civil engineer of this city.
The system as it is now covers all
of the residence portions of the
north side, carrying into a septic
tank and thence under the tracks of
the Western Pacific railroad to the
river. The completion of this work
for the citizens of the north side of
Winnemucca should make that part
of this city one of the most desir-
able portions for nice residences.

Industry Gets Attention of
Banking Committee

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
various farm credit bills appeared
today before the senate banking COM
nittee at the opening of hearings
On credit legislation.
Senator Capper, Republican, Kan
as, chairman of the senate farm
bloc, opened the hearing with an
explanation of his bill to widen the
credit facilities of livestock growers
~ authorizing cooperative live
stock loan associations.
He was followed by Senator Len
root, Republican, Wisconsin, a mem
Der of the joint congressional agri-
cultural commission, who outlined
the Lenroot-Anderson bill contain
ing provisions indorsed by admins
ration officials.
Among those present at the hear
ing were Eugene Meyer, director
If the War Finance Corporation
md member of the federal farm
oan board.
Senator Capper said his livestock
oan bill would meet the needs OF
both large and small livestock grow
ers, but did not deal with the credit
requirements of the general farmer
The bill provides for cooperative
associations with S250,000 capita
whose paper would have discount
privileges with federal banks.
The small livestock growers, he
aid, could secure loans through
iuch associations and he did not be
ieve the bulk of capital of the as
iociations would come from the in.
iustry, but from banking and bust
iess interests of the community.
Senator Kendrick, Democrat, Wy
oming, endorsed the Capper bill
telling the committee it would have
iaved millions of dollars of inopera
ion in the livestock industry.
The federal reserve system, Sena
.or Kendrick said, cannot under tht
law grant livestock loans for ;
long enough period. Livestocl
growers, he said, must have loan
extending over the whole livestocl
production period.
Chairman Mclean, and Senator
Glass, Democrat, Virginia, suggested
that the proposed cooperative loal
| associations would have almost tn,
discount privileges of a federal re
serve bank member, but Senatol
Glass pointed out that banks O.
the federal system in rediscountini
cooperative association paper woult
loan only to its present marketable
value.
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohit
asked how cooperative association
would weather a sever slump il
livestock prices and Senators Cappe
and Kendrick said that federal in
spection of loans proposed in tn
bill would be a safeguard.
Director Meyer told the com
mittee that the War Finance Cor
poration had loaned $S,000,000 ol
livestock in the southwest. A sever
slump in prices followed but tn
government had not lost a dollar
A private cattle loan compan,
backed by large packers, he said
loaned about $18,000,000 on a capi
tai of $1,000,000 and suffered
loss of $7,000,000, but he said tn
large packers had stood behin'
