WALNUT PLANTATION BRINGS NEW
EPOCH OF AGRICUL LTURAL GROWTH

Growers, an incorporation which re-
Gently took over the Morgan rancl,
on the East Walker River, and is now
preparing to begin the setting out Of
1880 walnut trees in the coming
spring, is in the our city looking after
the interests Of his company.
Mr.. Migheals has stated that the
success Of the tree now producing on
the ranch guarantees the certain sue

1t takes five years for the walnut
trees to begin producing but during
this time the land is not idle, as
"intercropping" or planting Of other
other crops between the rows of trees
is expected to maintain the normal
income from the ranch.
The importance to Lyon County OF
the success of this venture cannot be
overestimated. If it succeeds, and
there seems to be but small chance
for any other outcome, Mason Val
ley may soon rival the rich and justly
famous nut producing sections of Cali

TOUGH LUCK

Fred Wade was among one of the
multitude who came to town Thurs
day to attend the Democratic rally.
He says he has the finest lot of spuds
ever produced in this valley. but he
can't sell 'em. He also says he rented
part OF his ranch last year to people
who forgot to pay the rent. that his
brindlc COW got amongst litter of
fine pigs and stamped EN- all to
death, that a coyote got into his
chicken house and killed AZ choice
lcghorns. But what can you expect
under Republican administration"

Jim Bernard is Well
Qualified to Hold
Clerk& Treasurers
Position

The candidacy of James N. Bernard
for the office OF County Clerk and
Treasurer introduces into local politics
circles type OF man not generally
fea,nlSin pubic office, but frequently
encountered i'll responsible positions
where reliability and hard work arc
considered more desirable than studied
affability and professional good fellow
ship. He is the anti-thesis of the
slap-on-the-back dammittohell bird so
commonly recognized as good poll
tician," but has instead rather un-
canny ability to get things done and
get them done we'll in an unassuming
and unpretentious manner that may
we'll lead the unobscrving to under
estimate his real worth
Born in the old camp of Bodie, he
came with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Vic. Bernard, to Mason Valley at an
early age, and received his education
in the Yerington grade and high
schools. In the high school he was
a student of bookkeeping and CON-
mercial work, and this, supplemented
by valuable experience in local firms,
leaves him we'll equipped to fill the
duties OF the office for which he is a
candidate. In addition to other
qualifications Jim has first-hand
knowledge of ranching, which should
be valuable asset to the public and
to himself while serving as a public
official in this community, where
farming is the principal industry. He
is also veteran of the late war and
his experience in the service of Uncle
Sam, where he came in close contact
with all sorts and conditions Of mel,
will be of assistance to him as an
office holder.
For the past year Mr.. Bernard has
been night police officer Of Yerington
and the duties of this position, in ad-
dition to his long residence i'll the
county, has brought him into personal
contact with nearly every voter in the
county, and his large number OF
friends predict his certain success OIL

James Bernard, Republican, had
no opposition at the Republican pri-
marics and is unopposed by any Demo
cratic aspirant. The Yerington Times

in recommending his candidacy to the
people of Lyon county, as we are GER
tain that in the event of his election
he will prove competent, efficient
and courteous official

him the two tens which he placed in the

the young lady and told her that he

VERMONT LEGION 49,.
FOR SOLDIER BONUS
Meeting at Burlington Votes TO Urge
NermOnt's Congressional Dele
=sts7 CATION to Support IL go q

BURLINGTON, Feb. I3.-The delegates
TO the annual mid winter meeting OF
the American Legion, department OF
Vermont, held here, adopted the follow
ing resolution regarding the soldiers
bonus
Resolved: That we again request our
senators and congressman at Washington
to support by their votes the so-callcd
'fipe-Told adjusted compensation or
Fordney bin, - which has been presented
to congress by the American Legion and
- recognized by a large majority of the
citizens of the country to be Just and
equitable claim OF the ex-service men
Resolved: That the legion has no fear,
whatsoever, that the faiF-minded and
appreclatlve citizens of the state will
be led astray or influenced i'm the least
by the unfair and unjust propaganda
against the adjusted compensation bill
now pending in congress. The American
people have already recognized the merit
of eX-service men, and congress is now
called upon to provide the necessary
funds for an adjustment of the soldiers
compensation and cancel the obligation
to the soldiers who responded to the call
in defense of the nation
Hanford AIacNider, national com
mander OF the American Legion, in dis
cusslng the bonus said in part:
Legislators sent to Washington are
supposed to represent the people. not
themselves Oh any particular interests.
Wherever this question has been put ito
a vote, the wishes of the people have
been expressed in a way no one could
misunderstood Immediately after the
President stopped the passage of the bill
last year by The senate, Ohio his own
state, said foreibly-over three to one
that they favored such legislation. To
bring it nearer home to Senator Pepper,
we might call attention to the recent ae-
ton of the Pittsburg chamber of com
merce, which. after hearing both sides
of the question. went on record unani-
neusly for the bill.
Ignorance is our principal opposition
We have yet to. meet the man. who has
read the bill. who opposes it. In an eff
fort to make his statement strong. he
pushes forth the disabled man and hides
behind him. The American Legion re-
sents this, and we believe that every dis
abled man resents it. Senator Pepper is
evidently turning his attention to the
disabled man for the first time. Tie
would know otherwise that from the in
ception of our organization the problem
of the disabled has been thu legion =
first consideration.

KEEN FOR CATTLE BILL.
Western Massachusetts Men Want TO
Eradicate Bovine Tuberculosis.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Feb. IL. -
Western Massachusetts is sending a big
delegation. comprising representatives of
many of the leading organizations in this
section. to Boston to attend the hearing
on Tuesday. before the Joint committee
on agriculture and public health, and
urge immediate action on house bill 1903.
which provides for the cooperation of
this state with the United States govern
ment in the eradication of tuberculosis i'm
cattle.
Massachusetts is the only state, OK
cept California, which has not already
provided for such cooperation. and Cal
ifornia has laws of its own which are
Strieter than the federal law All the
other New England states have taken
vigorous measures to clean up their
herds and rid them OF diseased cattle.
Both state and federal authorities
state that there are thousands of tuber-
cular cattle i'm Massachusetts. and that
these are spreading the infection to 9th
er animals, so that the menace is CON
stantly on the increase.
The bill is not compulsory, but per-
missive, providing that any owner who
desires may submit his herd to be test
ed. 1t provides compensation for dis
