Cauteloupes To
Be Raised In The
Smith Valley

A one-half acre demonstration plot
of Hearts of Gold cantaloupe grown
on the Stanley Netherton place in
Smith Valley, yielded 162 crates of
melons, according to figures turned
In to County Agent Buckman. This
production Is at the rate of 324
crates per acre, which compares fav-
orably with the highest yields secur-
ed at Fernley. The cantaloupe were
of excellent quality.
This demonstration shows that
Smith Valley can produce an excel
lent yield and quality particularly In
the Simpson District. The Colony or
Simpson District, would be, In our
opinion, the best cantaloupe ground.
Here we have an east front to the
sun. which should produce early
melons. At Fernley we have north
front.
There has been some talk Of rails
ing cantaloupe in Smith Valley next
year. In order to make It possible,
at least 100 acres would be neces-
sary, which would mean production
of at least 80 cars.

Vaudeville .SholU Was
"A Real Entertainment

The vaudeville entertainment given
at ihe Rex Theatre last Friday eve-
ming Iy members OF the student body
and faculty of the Douglas county
high school, was far superior to that
given by any travelling show company
seen here In many moons.
The musical numbers by the Ever
ett orchestra were we'll received, as
was the playing Of the Hawaiian
trio. composed of residents Of Minden.
The monologue act put on by Miss
Eva Hale and Mr.. O'Brien Of the
high school stan. was entertaining
and the chatter by the pair kept the
audience In an uproar. Their stories
and jokes were all new and were ex-
ceptionally we'll handled.
Floyd J. Brown. principal of the
high school, dressed in kits, sang a
number OF Harry Lauder songs In =
very entertaining manner, and as q
finale sang There Was a Bonnie
Lassie," and was assisted by a chorus
OF eight high school girls In Scotch
costume. The singing was greatly
enjoyed a. was the dancing OF the
Highland Fling by the chorus.

Proclamation For
Thanksgiving Issued

Declaring the the state OF the
nation presents very much to justify
a nationwide and most sincere tes-
timony OF gratitude for the bounty
which has been bestowed upon u.s."
President Harding, In the annual
proclamation. calls upon the Ameri-
can people to observe Thursday.
November 80 "as a day of thanksgiv-
Ing. a supplication and devotion. !"
The text follows:
by the President of the United
States of America; a proclamation.
"In the beginning Of our country
the custom was established by the
devout fathers of observing annually
q day Of thanksgiving for the bounties
and protection which Divine Provi-
dence had extended through the year.
1t has come to be perhaps the most
characteristic of our national observ-
ances and as the season approaches
for its annual recurrence. 1t is fit-
ting formally to direct attention to
this ancient institution of our people
and to call upon them again to unite
in its appropriate celebration.
"The year which now approaches
It's end has been marked, in the ex-
perience of our nation, by a complex
ity Of trials and triumphs, of Difficult
ties and achievements, which we must
regard as our inevitable portion in
such an epoch as that through which
all mankind Is moving. As we survey
the experience OF the passing twelve
months we shall find that our estate
presents very much to justify a
nation wide and most sincere testi-
mony Of gratitude for the bounty
which has been bestowed upon US.
Though we have lived in the shadow
Of the hard consequences of great
conflict our country has been at peace
and has been able to contribute to-
ward the maintenance and perpetua-

manent peace. toward order and re-

For the Divine guidance which has
enabled us in growing fraternity with
other peoples, to attain SO much OF
progress: for the bounteous yield
which has come to us from the re-
sources Of our soil and our industry,
we owe our tribute Of gratitude and
with It our acknowledgment of the

Sheep Industry
Promises Great
Future Prosperity

That the sheep industry throughout
the country will maintain a high
rank In the country's prosperity for
several years to come. Is the pre-
diction of Edwin Wells, sheep buyer,
who is in Elko at the present time,
says the Elko Independent.
The sheep industry, which year
or so ago seemed In danger of COM
plete ruin, is again on its feet, and
unprecedented prosperity can be look
ed forward to by those who are
financially interested in this indus
try. OF course. conditions may arise
next spring which will tend to
diminish this prosperity In different
sections, but 1t is safe to predict that
the industry, as whole, will be as
good as it ever was before.
"As typical example of the rise
in the sheep industry" Mr. Wells
stated, Il would like to cite an in
stance that happened to me. A year
ago last spring | sold to a Montana
sheepman 100 head of ewes. He
paid me IS per head for this stock.
Last spring he had a hundred per
cent lamb crop, and he has just dis
posed of his lambs for Sc per head.
His S. ewes are worth far more now
than they were at the time of the
purchase. and will be worth even
more next year"
Under present conditions the fleece
of a sheep can be safely estimated as
being worth s2.32 per head Wool
is actually worth more than this in
Texas and Montana, Texas wool
bringing a price of fifty cents a
pound at present, and the Montana
wool being worth from forty-five to
fifty cents.
With the average fleece valued at
$2.32, owners of sheep can look for
a larger valuation of their fiocks, and
can expects higher prices for their
lambs next season.

G. A. Ballard Defeats
Frank P. Langan For
District Judge

Election In Douglas county passed
on quietly and without any thrills to
excite the voters. Candidates for the
various county offices were out early
In the morning and stayed on the job
until the polling places closed at six
o'clock last evening. The day OPEN
ed with threatening weather and rain
fell during the forenoon and those
that stayed on the streets found 1t
necessary to wear heavy overcoats.
Candidates for most part received
no assistance from friends In the
work Of electioneerins. q condition
that has at former elections been the
rule.
Jacks Valley, the smallest precinct
In the county. having . total Of 22
votes, sent In the complete returns
early in the evening and were posted
on the bulletin board at the Legion
club rooms. Soon after incomplete
returns from Genoa, Sheridan and
N~@AeSA SS6oh ~ aiAlvS auu at u4uo
o'clock the club rooms were crowded
with people from all parts Of the VAL
ley who were anxious to get . line
on election results. At midnight
complete returns were In from Genoa
and Sheridan and It was after one
o'clock before the final returns were
in from Minden where 166 votes were
cast. At that hour 1856 votes had
been counted In the Gardnerville pre-
cinct out of total OF 800 votes cast.
When the fnal votes were counted In
this precinct, 1t was after IL o'clock
this morning and the complete re-
turns of the five precincts will be
found tabulated in another column OF
this paper.
One OF the Surprises Of the county
returns is the heavy vote polled for
Grover Krick for District Attorney
over his opponent, F. e. Brockliss.
The compilation Of the county re-
turns is made possible through the
excellent service of the Farmers Tel
ephone company and the obliging
staff of operators. The office remain
ed open all night and returns from
the several precincts were compiled
every hour.

EAST FORK PRECINCT SHOULD
BE DIVIDED

With the steady increasing regis
tration In the East Fork precinct and
the fact that In yesterdays election
the board was on duty continuously
for thirty hours before they had COM
pleted their labors, Is a self evident
fact that before another election year
comes. this precinct should be divided
into two wards. 1t Is not just to
expect election boards to serve for
so long a period without rest. nor is
1t at all necessary to keep the public
waiting SO long before the fnal vote
can be compiled. and the winners
known.
