House n Very Enjoyable One.
The good work that has been done
in the line Of education by the public
schools of Eureka was shown by the
pupils at the Opera House on Thurs
day evening. The house was filed to
overlooking, in fact, standing room
was at a premium.
The scholars taking part in the
various exercises Of the evening ac-
quilted themselves admirably, and
treated the pieces assigned them in an
entertaining and original style. In
fact the entire programme was rend-
cred in such an excellent name that
it is hard to particularize. Suffice il to
say, the many boys and girls taking
part showed great earnestness and
pride in the matter they had in hand /;
and as a whole reflects the greatest
credit on the Principal and teachers Of
our public school.
DR.. Joseph f. Stubs, who, unfor.
tunately, met with a accident at Reno
on Monday last, was unable TO fli his
engagement here, but was ably repre-
scented by Hon. II. l.. Fulton Of Reno.
Lack Of space prevents even giving q
synopsis OF the many good things said
by that gentleman regarding the Ne
vada State University and the bright
outlook for ii in the future. The gentle
man paid a handsome compliment to
DIR. Stubs as an educator ut the head
OF our State educational institution.
He was listened to throughout with
marked attention and at the close was
created with hearty applause.
The musical part OF the programme
vas excellent indeed.
Principal +. E. Hoffman acted as
President Of the evening, and the fol-
lowing programme was rendered:

When the Nez Perces Indians re-
ceived their money from the Govern
ment they went to town to blow it in.
A mania for buying buegies attacked
them and they bought all the vehicles
to be had. One Of the chiefs invested
his money in a hearse, and is the most
envied OF the tribe as he drives around
perched on the drivers seat, with his
squaw and papooses inside, peering
through the glass.

The Price Of Implements.

EDITOR ADVOCATED notice an
article by Mr.. Maxey in your paper Of
February q, under the title of 'Im.
proved Farm Machinery" Itseems to
me there are other reasons than those
assigned by him why farmers don't
buy the best machines on the market
and do much of their work more salts
factorily and at less cost than they
now do.
AS q rule the manufacturer depends
on his agents to introduce and sell his
implements. In turn he has to protect
his agents, and among other things,
goes one better by encouraging them
in protecting themselves. If westopped
right here, the above would sound all
right, but when, with little sober
thought, we discover that the protec-
tion they seek and get is nothing more
or less than protection from competi
tion, the cost of which is ssddled on
the purchaser, it looks well only to the
other fellow.
| notice that large number Of man
ufacturers pool their earnings. Sec.
ond, they enjOin their agents to not cut,
but sell at list prices. Third, the
agents then form an association
through which competition is de-
stroyed by maintaining prices. And
to put on the climax nine-tenths Of
the manufacturers and their agents
walk up to the polls and vote for a
condition Of things that largely de.
stroys the purchasing power of those
on whose financial ability they must
depend for sales.
1t Is true that while we can get
farm wagon complete at this time for
$50 that would cost $l25 atthe close of
the war, the manufacturer and agent
don't seem to realize that other fact,
the amount of wheat that it would
take at present prices to buy farm
wagon would at the price it brought at
the close of the war buy two wagons
at war prices and have S62.5O left with
which to pay taxes. If the manufac-
turer and his agent were educated on
the line Of finance and transportation,
as is the farmer of the need of i'm
proved farm machinery, the CONNER
cial tide would soon float every legiti-
mate industry on the globe.
