Rotnour Players ON THE SCREEN AU Talker "SIDE STREET' ALDERMAN STOFFEL'S REPLY In last week's Plandealer our Mayor puts much stress on the fact that he had me admit that I knowingly allowed some one to draw more money than he was entitled to. I want to state right here that at the time I did not know of the overpayment, but found out afterwards. But why did not the Mayor, who seemingly remembers everything, call our attention to the fact this payment would overdraw the amount due? The Mayor was secretary of the Board of Local Improvements at the time the contract was let for the syphon under the creek and he knew and should have remembered that the Wells Engineering Co. agreed, before the whole city council, to do the engineering on this job FREE OF CHARGE. Later a contract was let for a new sewer line, connecting with the syphon, pumps, motors, etc., the later contract taking over the contract for the syphon under j Property, the creek. Therefore, It follows that j fice. the engineering cost should be based on the difference between the first and later contract, but the engineers presented their bill for services on the whole job. Mr. Knox was the FIRST one to sign the voucher, and, to my notion, should have told the engineers in plain English of their agreement of free service on the first contract, but he did not do so. This payment overpaid the engineers some $30.00, figured on the estimate for the whole job. It seems rather queer to me that the engineers have done the account keeping for the Board of Local Improvements for all these years. Mr. Knox states that in spite of the disappearance of the minute book, there were enough records available to account for every dollar received or paid, of both special assessment and general funds as far back as 1923. That may be so, but he is careful not to state that every dollar is in its proper , ^QR RENT 5- account.

There is no doubt in my mind but that the general fund has a good sized sum due it from the various assessments for money advanced, that should be returned to the general fund, and whatever the amount so returned would be, should be paid on the interest-bearing debt of the city and thus reduce the indebtedness and 1 rAMa interest charge by that much.

In conclusion will say that there are dozens of items besides the few listed here that need adjustment from one account to another, and I am perfectly willing, for the present, to have the Mayor or anyone else give a satisfactory explanation of the few referred to in this article. j'OHN STOFFEL, Alderman, Second Ward. Nevada is building up a solid turkey producing industry in a logical way, in"* the opinion of H. L. Sbrader, extension poultry specialist' of the United States Department of Agriculture, who recently paid 4 visit to this state. The growing of the holiday bird in Nevada is on a farm flock basis, the expert stated, with from 150 to 300 birds, as a rule, being raised along with other crops. It is easier with the small flock unit produced in co-operation with other crops, according to the federal man, to raise the type of high-grade bird for which Nevada Is becoming known. Two of the best feeds for turkeys are milk and alfalfa, and these, Sbrader said, being produced on the faun with the turkeys, afford good feed at a low cost. With such small flocks, he said, the farm wife can take care of a good share of the work, thus cutting costs, as otherwise extra labor might have to be hired. The outlook for expansion In the industry in Nevada is good, the specialist stated. Nevada conditions, he believes, are well suited to ^ turkey, production. "Turkeys and chickens should never be run together," he declared, explaining that parasites, little harmful to chickens, but deadly to the bronze birds, are carried by the chickens. Tu-keys should be kept far from the farmhouse, he believes. Sanitation in another means of keeping turkeys diseaise-free, he stated., ( Buy Tested Cod liver1 ™ Oil for Laying Fowls The use of cod liver oil in feeding laying hens during winter months and in raising young chicks during the early spring is one of the recent developments in poultry production. Practically every one who has used a good quality product has found that it has been helpful in keeping up the vitality of the flock, preventing leg* weakness in chicks and securing a better texture of shell with eggs. The reason for the value of this product is largely due to the vitamine D which it contains. Vitamine D is the substitute for sunshine. It helps fowls to properly absorb the minerals which they consume. Without vitamine D or sunshine, fowls will fall properly to absorb minerals, even though they may be abundantly supplied. The popularity of cod liver oil has encouraged the use of many substitutes. The fishy odor which is characteristic of many of these products is not a guarantee that they are o^ any particular value from the standpoint of being a substitute for sunshine. There is even a good deal of difference in the efficiency of cod liver oil, so it is well to buy a product that is either tested for vitamine content or guaranteed to give satisfaction. ALONG LIFE'S TRAIL Br THOMAS ARKLE CLARK 'Den *f Mem. University ef BANQUETS WITHOUT SPEECHES i Gave Name to Row The great rose grower of France, Pernet, named the yellow rose Souvenir de Claudius Pernet in memory of hlsr gallant son, who fell during^ the World war. - . V:. ' . According to a New York paper of standing, Miss Margaret Balfour, a Londoner of some influence, is starting a movement or forming an organization whose purpose is to eliminate the after- dinner speech and to substitute in its place some sort of entertainment during the prandial performance. Such a revolution would, of course, take with it the toastmaster, and we should be spared much preliminary prattle, and many ageworn stories. If the organization ever attempts to secure a foothold in this country I shall apply for charter membership. Jt was a young newsboy, I believe, wtop, having been invited to a Christmas dinner in a distant city, was interrupted In his attempts to appease his appetite by some one's rising to do the regular after-dinner stuff. "Ah," the boy exclaimed, "let's cut out the speakln' and get on with the regular program." I have myself often felt the same way. We have far too much speaking at banquets. I was advertised a few weeks ago as the "main speaker," at a dinner given at a distant city, and I was paid generously for the alleged service I was to render. The dinner began almost an hour later than the announcement Indicated. It was a good dinner, and the guests, therefore, lingered longer over the desert ' than they might otherwise have done. There were eight short speeches before I was called on, each speaker Introduced briefly by the toastmaster. There were two vocal soloists, very excellent voices they had too, each one singing two or three songs and responding to an encora A violin virtuoso entertained us with two selections and a group of young women put on a short musical play. The audience was thinning when they got to me; I was myself mentally exhausted; half the guests were asleep or weary beyond enjoyment. By all means let us have banquets without speeches! • (©, 1928, Western N«w«p*per Untm.) sStone Af« lUiiea Stone weapons and implements found recently near Pa^te are said to be twenty thousand years old, and indications are that a great battle was fought on the spot during the Stone ' ^differ It is better to be silent and be thought dumb than to speak and remove all doubt.--Pathfinder Magazine.
