(1:1) A GOOD EXAMPLE The Fall River High School has added a potato class to its course of study. The object is to teach the pupils how to grow potatoes and will probably include instructions in millinery and poultry raising. The millinery part may be used for learning the art of dressing "chickens." At any rate the move made by the Fall River School might well be followed with good results in other places.

He informed us that the crops were looking fine in the Sacramento Valley, some of the grain already being six or eight inches high. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Walts, of this place, left here for Reno this morning to take the Pasteur treatment, who were bitten several times by their dog, which seemed to be having fits and otherwise acting very strangely. The dog will be kept for sometime to determine whether or not it had the rabies, which it probably has, from the symptoms. Several cases of dogs being afflicted with the rabies have recently been reported from Nevada and it would be well for all to be careful around dogs. Mrs. Leon B. Lewis is reported ill this week. Mrs. Fannie Bowers returned from Reno some days ago, where she went for medical examination. She is somewhat improved in health, we are very glad to state.
