WAR MAPS FOR
AMERICAN LEGION

Congressman Arentz has secured
from the War Department three
very remarkable war maps, which
he is distributing to Nevada posts
Of the American Legion. The
largest of these maps is the "Order
Of Battle on Western Front, IL
am. November II, 1915" It has
been held secret until this time in
Map Room G-3, G.H.Q. It is a
wall map, in colors, and besides
showing the entire 600-mile battle
line, is an unusually perfect and
valuable map of eastern France
and western Germany.
The second map, almost as large,
shows in topographic detail the
progress Of the Meuse-Argonne' Of
fensive in October, 1918. It ia
technically known as Extract OF
Mezieres- Verdun-M etz-Longway."
The third is Extract of Metz
Commercy," showing the st. Mihiel
Offensive. The latter two maps
show daily positions Of the front
line in the movements named.
As the number of these maps at
the disposal of Congressman Arentz
is but slightly in excess of the
number Of Legion posts in Nevada,
he requests that the commander or
adjutant Of any post failing to
receive this set of maps notify him
at once, that every post may be
supplied.

GROWERS RECEIVE BETTER
PROFIT FROM WOOL POOL s

Realizing that there may be as
much as 15 cents a pound variation
in price in different grades of wool,
Texas growers last year took ad-
vantage of information regarding
grades and grading given them by
extension workers employed cooper
atively by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, through the
organization of county and state
pools. Through these pools the
growers were enabled to attract
larger buyers and obtain the higher
prices offered for well-graded wool
in large quantities.
Since the formation Of the state
pool in Texas last year, large guam
titles Of graded wool and mohair
have been sold directly to the mills,
bringing a greater profit to the
growers than when sold to local
buyers and spectators. About
$4,000 pounds of wool was graded
by experts and about 100000
pounds were sold at 26 to 80 cents
a pound, this being 10 cents a
pound more than the average for
the country.
County pools for selling wool and
mohair were used in counties which
did not join in the state pool. The
wool sold in this way brought l to
cents a pound more than the
price received by the individual
growers and the profit amounted
to about $4,000. In all, 1000, 900
pounds of wool and mohair grown in

OBJECTION To
SPANISH SPRINGS

That a determined effort Is to be
made to prevent the construction
by the government of the Spanish
Spring Valley reservoir, says the
Sparks Tribune, and the consequent
diversion of the waters Of the
Truckee river, is evidenced by a
circular letter being sent to Truckee
river water users, from the office
OF P. A. McCarran, chairman of the
executive committee of the Truckee
River Water Users Association.
The communication is signed by p.
A. McCarran, chairman; ]. F.
Kleppe, George Trosi, VIM. Hol-
comb, Thad Holcomb, Herbert
Nichols, s. w. Wheeler, Geo. Peck
ham, Guy Waits and C. C. Jones,
executive committee, and reads as
follows:
''For your individual welfare and
for the welfare of your home and
the property in which you are inter-
ested, it is highly important that
definite action be taken by the
Truckee River Water Users Asso-
citation looking to the safeguarding
Of your individual rights, and also
the development of the community
in which you are a citizen and tax
payer. The necessity for definite
action at this time grows out of
the movement that is now on foot
to make a storage reservoir out of
Spenish Springs Valley for the stor-
age Of water taken from the
Truckee river, to be thereafter de-
livered onto the Newlands Irriga-
ton project in Churchill county.
ut has been declared by those in
authority that, If the Spanish
Springs reservoir is established, it
practically means an abandonment
Of the establishment Of reservoirs
in the upper reaches Of the Truckee
river, in which water might be
stored for the development Of the
lands of the Truckee Meadows and
adjacent territory.
"You are a member Of the Truck
ee River Water Users Association.
Your future success demands that
you give expression with reference
to the establishment of the Spanish
Springs reservoir. The Truckee
River Water Users Association,
through its executive committee,
has already gone on record As
opposing this reservoir. We want
your expression in furtherance Of
the attitude of the executive COM

To STUDY WATER
SUPPLY OF New.

The Nevada agricultural expert.
ment station located at the Uni.
versity of Nevada, Reno, has sent
two men into the Las Vegas Valley
to look over the lands with the
view of starting some definite inves-
LEGATIONS along agricultural lines
which will materially benefit the
valley.
1t is proposed to have Mr.. George
Hartman, assistant agronomist of
the University, spend two or three
months in the valley, comforting
with ranchers and land owners,
make study of the water resources
and gather data upon which a con-
structive project may be based.
The project, when one is def
nitely decided upon, will be sup
ported jointly by the Nevada agri-
cultural experiment station and the
division Of Agricultural engineer
ing of the U. s. bureau of public
roads.
F. L. Bixby, senior irrigation en-
gineer, representing both the federal
and state departments, will be the
project leader under the supervision
Of Professor S. B. Doten, director
Of the Nevada experiment station.
The agricultural experiment sta
ton has long realized the import
ance of definite work in southern
Nevada, but owing to its limited
funds has been unable to do any
field work in that section.
There are many interesting prob
lens to be worked out, such as:
Development of water mounds
and springs.
Testing Of the artesian wells
which at present do not flow, by
means of pumps.
Reclamation OF alkali lands by
means Of drainage and cultivation.
Study Of thermal belts in the
valley.
Study Of soils and crops best
suited to local conditions.
Improvements in distribution and
application of water.
Just what line of work will be
first attempted is not at present
decided. 1t is belived that it will
be profitable to make a thorough
study of conditions before making
any definite decision as regards the
lines Of work which will be taken
up.

homes and farms was $31, 7O9 ,OOO,.
600, the mortgage debt thus repre-.
senting 34.7 per cent of the tota
value. 1t should be noted that the
term "owned homes" is used by the
bureau to designate those homes

these mortgaged homes and farms
was reported as $685., 900, 900,
the mortgaged debt thus represent
ing 37.5 per cent of the total value.
The mortgage debt on owned homes
and farms increased 415.8 per cent
between 1890 and 1920, and the
value of thes mortgaged homes and
farms increased 457.6 per cent. As
result, the ratio of debt to value
has decreased, being BAT per cent
in 1920 as against 37.5 per cent
in 1890.
The total number of homes not on
farms in the United States in 1920
was 100000 of which 7,195, 900
or 4O.9 per cent were owned by
the occupants; and of these owned
homes 2,855,000 or 1917 per cent
were mortgaged. Information re-
garding the value of the home and
the amount of mortgaged debt was
secured from 100000 or 66.3 per
cent of these mortgaged homes. The
total mortgage debt on farms in
1920 is estimated as $6,000,000000
and the total value Of such homes
as $4,000, 100000, the ratio of
debt to value being 42.6 per cent.

mortgage debt thus representing
1913 per cent of the total value.
The mortgage debt on owned homes
increased 473.1 per cent, between
1890 and 1920. This has resulted
in slight increase in the ratio of
debt to the value from 1913 per
cent in 1890 to 42.6 per cent in
1920.
The total estimated mortgaged
debt on owned farms in the United
States in 1920, including the esti-

DEMPSEY Y-BRENNAN
 BATTLE IS HANDED
 "KNOCk0UT" BLOW

Michigan City, Ind, Aug. 19- There was gloom in the training camps of Jack Dempsey and Bill Brennan today. Governor Warren T. McCray, having issued an official edict to a sheriff not to permit the two heavies to fight in Floyd Fitz- simmons big bowl here on Labor Day afternoon, both Jack and Bill were up against a proposition of what to do."
 The governor, after getting the le- gal lowdown on the proposed bout says it will be a 'prizefight." 1n- diana, like most other states, does not permit such scraps. Promoter Fitz- simmons who has staged several big bouts here, asserts he is not one to violate any law on the statute books and contends the scheduled 10 round bout, given under the auspices of the American Legion here, will conform in every ruling of the Indiana boxing law permitting exhibitfons of the. manly art. ~
 Fitzsimmons was still hoping today that the governors edict prohibiting the fight could be modified. In the meantime both Dempsey and Bren- nan continued at their training
