BOYS

News come to us from Oakland.
Cal, OF the progress made by John
Freeman, formerly of this valley. Mr..
Freeman lett Yerington about two
years ago and accepted position as
meat-cutter in one of the markets
owned by Humphreys Supply i'll Reno.
After year with them he entered the
employ Of Skagg's Cash and Garry
store and i'll two months was trans
fcrred to Oakland as manager. of the
lrgcst Of their six markets i'll that
city
Skagg's Cash and Garry stores con-
sists of chain of grocery stores and
meat markets operating in the six
western states, Idaho. Utah, Wyoming
Nevada. Oregon and California.
LIN a recent test i'll Oakland Mr.,
Freeman passed the physical exam
nation as lOG per cent perfect and in
the mental test for accuracy and quick
ness OF decision he took first honors.
He has led the market reports for
several months by cutting the largest
per cent of profit from his meat and
for speed of cutting there Is not {
man in the organization who can equal
him.
Mr. Freeman has been offered and
accepted the position OF supervisor OF
markets in Sacramento. where he Will
take complete charge and do all the
buying for that unit
Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman and little
daughter Jeanne, leave Oakland next
week for Sacramento, where they Will
reside.
Vernon Ambrose. formerly OF Yer
ington, has recently entered the en-
ploy of Skagg's Cash and Garry stores
in the grocery division. Mr.. Ambrose
has made and excellent showing in the
Skagg's organization and it is believed
that through his earnest encdavor he
will. in a few months, be promoted to
store manager.
There is saying to tins effect
at is better to be big man III a little
town than it is to be a little man III a
big town." but at the rate some OF our
Ncrington boys are progressing some
OF them bid fair to become big men
in big town.

California markets. While there is a
limit to the cantaoupc crop it gives
promise of replacing many acres OF

A demonstration plot of Persian
melons is being grown by c. w. Stock

Buchanan for this purpose and fur

Persian melons are going to prove
adaptable to the Fcrnley soil and if as
successful as anticipated will prove a
to the cantaloupe crop.
SO far as is known Persian melons
have never been grown i'll Nevada.

of crops and dairying will provide all
income from Fernley products even
if the Fernley district is quaarntined IS

Political Paragraphs
From Carson City

CARSON CITY, New, July "a
The puschase Of the Reno Journal has
put all other political activities in the
shade the past few days Aside from
a few who had intended to claim that
all mistakes, if mistakes there have
been, were made by the Governor.
there is general rejoicing and fell
ing that the change in ownership OF the
Journal will be OF great benefit to Rene
to Nevada, and especially to the DEM
ocratic party. Hereafter the Journa!
will undoubtedly have a fixed policy
and political stability that it has here
tofore lacked. On the other hand. it
can be depended upon to fearlessly
criticise those Democratic politicians
who would prostitute party good for
personal gain. The people will have
more reliance in the paper also be-
cause it has not been purchased by
anv candidate or set Of candidates.
1t is now practically certain that
Col. Scrugham will have no opposition
in the primaries and will be the demo
cratic nominee for governor.

And while we are on the subject OF

one other state position that should be
made non partisan? There is no reason
why the office Of state printer should
be political one, The position, like
that of a Judge. requires an ability and
a knowledge gained only by training
in certain line. It is special work
and requires experts in the printing
business. Joe Farnsworth has not
made political office OF the state
