Splendid Lyceum
Attractions Coming
Lyceum Course Opens at Rex The
ater With Metropolitan Trio
Thursday Evening

During the coming winter months
there will appear at the Rex theater
five excellent lyceum numbrs. These
attractions are to be given under the
auspices of the local American Le-
gion post. And not only has the
Legion arranged for the appearance
of the lyceum talent but for the
showing of a first-class picture pro-
gram In connection with each num-
ber. This will make a delightful
evenings entertainment and the ex-
traordiarily reasonable fee of admis-
sion will make it possible for all
lovers of high-class entertainment
to attend.
The Metropolitan Male Trio comes
as the first number on Thursday
evening, October 10. This trio has
the distinction of being the first
male trio to be placed In lyceum and
chautauqua work for many years.
The effect of the mems fine voices
in unison is surprising, many of
their effects equalling that of male
quartets, some even excelling. These
boys are all individual entertainers.
Their program is as full of pep and
ginger as the best quartet or chorus
you have ever heard.

ended in a draw last Monday even
Ing. Arguments in favor of the I'm
ion Pacific's request that the cham
Der go on record as taking a neutral
stand In the unmerger proceedings
were presented by F. F. Small OF
Reno. A resolution to that effect
was submitted by J. p Eldredge and
moved for adoption. The discussion
which followed. all of which was
more or less acrimonious, hinged up
on the adyisability of the chamber
of commerce taking a new stand in
the controversy which position might
again be reversed. rather than upon
tn respective merits of the two rail-
road companies. President Clark
pointed out that 1t had always been
the custom of the local organization
to lay over resolution of this char
acter for at least one week before
bringing 1t up for vote and ruled
the motion for adoption at this time
out Of order. The resolution will be
submitted for consideration at the
regular meeting of the chamber of
commerce next Monday evening.

SEEK AID OF s. p. IN
CRAWLING TAYLOR STREET

Through the efforts of the Cham
Der of Commerce the graveling Of
Taylor street between the s. P. sta
ton and Williams Ave. at a very
moderate cost to the city of Fallon
is projected. A proposal to have the
railroad company furnish twenty
cars or gravel from their pit at Haz-
en- is being submitted to the officials
of the compan ythrough ]. M. Full
ton of Reno and J. Buckley, the To-
cal s. p. agent. The improvement
of Taylor street would be an impor-
tant benefit to the railroad company
as well as to the city of Fallon and
officials of the company have ex-
pressed themselves very favorably
on the proposition.
The county commissioners have
Indicated that the county would
stand two-thirds of the expense OF
loading and unloading the gravel to
and from the cars. This leaves the
expense to the city for the graveling
of Taylor street at one-third the ex-
pense of loading and unloading and
perhaps a nominal charge from the
railroad company for freight.

Fire Drills Start
in FalIon Schools

Fire drills started this week
among pupils of the West End and
the old high school buildings, and
safety devices for these two schools
are now under consideration by the
school board of Consolidated B dis
trict. The high school board is under
advisement with the Fallon fire de-
partment regarding fire safety meas
ures.
The high school building, however,
is amply provided with exits and
stairways at the present time. Fire
hose and chemical extinguishers are
arranged inside the building. One
possible exception is outside escapes
from the upper floor. This, however.
will be taken care of In the new
annex which Is expected to be built
this winter.
Nor is the Oats Park school build
ing without adequate provision for
allowing the students to make quick
escape in case of fire. This building
has no second story hazard and exits
are ample through low windows and
doorways.
The school board recently consid-
cred safety measures at the other
two grade buildings and provided
that fire drills start at once under
direction of the superintendent and
the instructors. About the same time
suggestions for improvement came
from Capt. II. A. Clark, chief of the
fire department, who found ready CO.
operation from the board.
Fire drills start from the sound
ing of a gong. Pupils then leave the
building by orderly march.
Since these two buildings have but
one exit through doorways, the
board is considering plans for escape
through second-story windows Either
slides which can be lowered to the
ground in emergency or drill, or
or iron ladders, are expected to be
provided soon. The slides are con-
sidered safest by the fire department.

Cooperate To-
Destroy Maepies
Greenhead Club Takes Action to As
sist Farmers In Destruction of
Predatory Birds
WILL IMPORT 100 PAIR
QUAIL THIS WINTER
Tip Depp and Nick Jesch VIII Lead
Teams In Big Duck Hunt
Next Sunday

At a meeting of the Greenhead
Club last Friday evening it was de-
cided to launch a magpie extermlnat-
ing campaign. Some effective work
has already been done along this
line by organizing magpie hunts and
giving prizes to the winners, the
school children being the principal
participants. 1t is now proposed to
go after the magpieE with poison,
using tallow saturated with strych-
nine. An effort is being made by the
Greenhead Club to get the farmers
OF the valley interested In the exter-
mination work as they are the prin-
cipal losers from the depredations of
the magpies. The magpies are o con-
stant menace to baby chicks and al
SO destroy hens eggs that are laid
in unprotected nests. The principle
grievance that the Greenhead Club
holds against them Ii their breaking
up of nests and destroying young
game birds. A supply of the poison
ed tallow will be mixed up and kept
an hand for the use of any farmer
who wants to put 1t out. e. R.
Hursh who suggested the plan states
that the best way to put out the
poison is to bore a hole In fence
post or two-by-four and place It
there. No other bird except pos
sibly a crow or a hawk will touch 1t.
viii Import Bob White Quail
Another step which the Greenhead
Club has taken toward the promo
tion of sport Is the decision to I'm
port a hundred pair of Bob White
quail which will be planted In the
valley next February or March. In
stead of scattering the birds In diff
ferent places as has been done here
tofore it is proposed to plant all the
birds in one locality and have the
birds protected by prohibiting shoot
ing in that locality. Unofficial as
surances have been received from
the county commissioners that the
necessary measures for the protec-
tion of the quail within a specified
area will be passed.
To Hold Duck Hunt Sunday
The next challenged duck hunt of
the club will be held SUNDAY. s....
22nd Tip Depp aud Nick Jeseh
have been elected team captains for
the hunt aud viii choose their teams
the day before. The same rules will
govern the contest as were observed
in the last hunt. 1t has not been
decided yet what kind Of an enter
tainment the losing team will have
to provide for the club; proposals
for a dance, smoker or theater party
now being under discussion. Anoth-
er meeting of the club will be held
next Friday evening when plans for
the hunt and following entertain
ment will be completed.

EXPORTS OF CEREALS

Exports of wheat and flour for
August rose In a seasonal movement
to the equivalent of 3S,964.000
bushels of wheat but were consider
ably lower than the large total of
66.963.000 bushels exported a year
ago. Exports Of rye and -four also
increased but other grains were ex-
ported in smaller quantities than in
July. Total grain exports amount
ed to 60.2S4. 900 bushels. while car
loadings increased to 56.177 cars,
but declined compared with a year
ago. The rice movement was small

THE HALLUCINATION OF
PROFITEERS

After the armistice the shipbuild-

other government contractors,
sought to defend the exhorbitant
hauls they had made upon the Unit
ed States treasury. The hallucina-
ton Of who have collected more than
their share from the government is
that keeps is keeps"-showing
thereby that the theories of their
marble-playing days still live in the
vision of mature manhood. The
country was horrified when 1t was
learned that the best part of a bill
lion dollars was spent in aircraft
construction with rather negligible
results. Finally the government has
instituted a suit against the Dayton
Wright Airplane Company for $2.-
40S,267. alleged overpayment on
contracts. The president of the Day
ton Wright concern has issued a
lengthy statement showing how
there cannot possibly be anything to
the charge. shipbuilders have made
similar vigorous denials when ac-
cused of overcharging "a BIT" But
the public will undoubtedly be will
ing to have court decisions on some
of these many cases that have at
tracted such widespread attention
in the past two or three years.
