FALLoN GOLFERS LOSE
TO UoVELOCK SUNDAY

Sunday the Fallon golf members
iourneyed to Lovelock for the second
OF a series of three games. The first
game played the Sunday before re-
suited in a victory for the Fallon
members. but on their own course
the Lovelock boys defeated the home
team by IL points.
The third game, which is to be
played in the near future will be held
In Reno on neutral ground, IL such
arrangements can be made. In this
concluding game many local people
will attend as the players and the
game is beginning to excite consider
able local interest outside of those
who are swinging clubs over the
course.
The scores at the conclusion of
the game Sunday stood:
Goodin as, Douglass 5S, Young 81 4,
Clarke 81, Ray Foote 55, Twae 55.
Knight 60, Arobio So.
1t will be noted that three scores
of 55 were played with Foote as one
of the three. Goodin played an ex
ceptional game, his score being 40.
Considering the long ride and the
hike the Fallon boys feel that while
they hoped for victory that the Love
lockers had them beaten fair and
square They hope to hang the scalp
lock up at the final game on a course
that neither team knows.
Following the game a banquet was
served at the Pershing hotel, and
from what is learned of this feast it
was one worth travelling the distance
and being defeated. Quail on toast
and plenty of trimmings was but d
part of It,
In order to make IL a real joint
affair each member of both teams
responded to toasts, and II is de-
clared to have been one of the most
enjoyable get to gether meetings that
has been held between the two towns
In a number of years.

Ford Show Week
AT Local GARAGE

The special display of Ford cars
and trucks and Fordson tractors be-
ing held this week by the Fallon
Motor Sales Company, local Fori
dealer, is attracting much attention
from both residents of the city and
those living nearby.
The week has been set aside by
the San Francisco branch of the
Ford Motor Company for a complete
showing of Ford products through
out the entire branch territory and
dealers everywhere are participating.
The new Ford cars show many
improvements, both in exterior ap
pearance and in interior arrange
ment, particularly the enclosed types,
the coupe and four-door sedan. The
convenience and comfort afforded by
the enclosed cars is winning many
enthusiastic comments from women
who have visited the display.
Ford trucks and Fordson tractors
are coming in for much consideration
by business men and farmers. The
truck is this year enjoying a greater
popularity than ever before. because
of its adaptability to all sorts of haul
ing and delivery work and the econ
omy and efficiency which it effects.
The Fordson. first introduced as u
farm implement, Is now filling many
Industrial power requirements when
used with special equipment and con-
tractors. road builders and manu-
facturers are finding new uses for II
right along.
The special display will continue
over Saturday and the show rooms
at Maine and A streets will be opea
every evening until 0 o'clock.

Highway Work

Company
On Last Take; East

The five miles of asphaltic oiled
road east of this city is rapidly near

the last two miles will be completed

Engineer Stuyer. in charge for the

severe weather comes on, which will
give the people one of the finest
pieces of highway in the state.

Signing Acreage
For Cantaloupes
Weaver Company Will
Specialize In Sale of
Hearts of Cold

Mr.. l. ID. Hale, representing thu
Weaver company, who successful,
handled the 1928 crop of "Heart o
Gold" cantaloupes, spent severa
days In this city the past week sign
ing up melon acreage for the season
of 1924. Owing to the success of tn,
firms policy and distribution to
his company is meeting with success.
in the contracts.
1t was stated by Mr.. Hale that
had the company been able to secure
more melons this past fall that they
could have been handled. He cited
several cases in which the demand
exceedd tn supply and in on instance
that the Pacific coast trade demand
ed more than could be furnished.
The company placed melons in many
markets heretofore untouched and In
each insance excellent results were
recorded.
II Is the contention of G. G. Swim
gle that with a poor growing season
and late market that clean profits
were made to the growers who han
died their crops through the Weaver
people. In his own case the average
was approximately 500 per acre for
the melons grown and shipped.
Looking to Project
Mr.. Hale stated that this project
would be looked to as a future field
for cantaloupe growing. Two factors
are used in this contention, the first
being the trade name which has been
established together with the market
and the second that the firm was
giving up the Colorado field owing
10 unusual weather conditions that
have made the growing a hazard. In
several instances hale and rains have
ruined promising crops and other
weather conditions have been against
the guarantee of crop.
After his experiences here the past
summer with a very unfavorable sea-
son and the results that followed
Mr.. Hale is convinced that this pro-
leet offers a comparatively safe ex-
pectation for melon growing. 1t has
been stated that in no instance has
there been complete failure and
that with such assurance that the
will transfer its efforts
from Colorado to this project.
Other Cases Considered
The results of the Weaver COM
pany compared with others who have
operated in this section open field
for criticism. The season of 1922
was handled by Mr.. Hall who lett
no profits to the growers In one Of
the best seasons that the project had
experienced. 1t is understood that
the returns from the Johnson people
who operated this past season have
not been satisfactory, in fact many
who shipped through this house have
come out on the worng side of the
ledger. This result being compared
with the Weaver people is so appar-
ent that speculation or criticism is
not necessary.
Considering the facts in the case
and the results as shown by actual
money returns to those who have
dealt with the Weaver firm it will
follow that the company will sign up
an acreage that will be far in excess
of anything heretofore attempted in
this line of culture on the project.

sROJECT SETTLERS MORA
TORIUM is SUGGESTED

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a vir-
tnal moratorium will have to be
granted by the government on \
number of reclamation projects To
prevent their being disastrous fail
ures to the present tenants, Chair
man Campbell of the interior de-
partment's special advisory commit
tee said today IN reviewing the in
vestigation to date.
To Reconstruct Fiscal Policy
I'm my opinion" said Mr.. Camp
bell, ut win be necessary for the
government to reconstruct the fiscal
policy of its reclamation service and
grant a new start to a number of
projects, probably a third of them.
1t would seem that some at least will
have great difficulty in paying out
under the present rate of assess
ment."
Witnesses have told the commit
tee. the chairman said, that the chief
obstacles to settlers were in a too
short time for repayment, inclusion
of worthless land in some projects,
and excessive construction charges.
Settlers Intentions Good
In no case. he declared, had there
any intention on the part
of the settlers to repudiate their
debts to the government.
A new system of repayment, pro-
posed to the committee by Repre-
sentative Simmons of Nebraska in
behalf of the North Platte project,
has been placed before Secretary
Work. II would entail the assess
ment of annual charges on the basis
of land values, the best acreage be
ing made to bear the heaviest pro-
portion of assessment

paused to scooup the ball, and then
tore up the turf for the goal line
This score was break for Fallon
Of its own making.
Desperate Try Made
The Railroaders tried desperately
to overcome the lead and Coach
"Bill' Martins squad opened up with
a barrage of forward passes. Two of
the seven were completed but Fall
Ions superior tackling cut down the
yardage.
The timekeeper held up his hand
to denote that only three minutes
we're left to play. That was the sig
nal for another touchdown for Fall
Ion. Jim" Bailey shot a 20 yard
forward pass into the hands of Allen
and the melon picker's quarterback
picked his way through the Railroad
er's backfield for 80 yards and the
second score. Bailey kicked both
goals.
Tackling Feature
The lads from Fallon brought
forth the surprise of the season with
their showing in the tackling depart
ment. This was perhaps the greatest
factor in its victory. Sparks expected
to make heavy gains on end runs by
the speedy ken" Robson and Can't
Ion, but they were moved down time
and again by Osgood, Ernst and
Bailey.
Coach Noble Waite of the Fallon
eleven grinned, when Ernst broke
through and neatly clipped Robson
behind the lines. i've coached that
kid for five months Just &c see MIN

nave carried a twofold message-to
the afflicted that tuberculosis may be
cured, to the well that it can be pre-
