The ordinary playing cards OF today
are derived from IA stick game sup
posed TO have originated in this coun-
try, Fifty small sticks are pack. The
game" was originally for the player
TO divide the sticks rapidly with his
two hands, the opponent guessing
which hand held the larger number.
Owners of sticks spent rainy days In
carving them. The Asiatics borrowed
the game and carved more elaborate
counters out OF ivory. Those with diff
ferent carvings grew to have different
values Arranging them in groups Of
fours made 1t necessary TO add two to
the original number. Then thin slabs
of ivory began To be used.
For centuries after this all playing
cards were hand painted, at first on
ivory or metal, afterward on card
board. The pictures, at first legendary
heroes and ladies', gradually became the

know and these. coming back TO Amer

Before the time of Dundas "starve,"

was at first vigorously opposed by

Great forests of seaweeds cover the

these forests there Is life more diversi-
fed than in the primeval forests of the

urchins. shells, crustaceans, starfish,
turtles and millions OF other living
things of all kinds find their food In the
equally varied plant life of the deep

A curious circumstance connected
with deep sea fish is that none OF these
has ever been brought up alive. Re
cent deep sea explorations reveal the
fact that the ocean still contains i'm
measurable treasures which await de-
velopment and utilization by human
inventiveness. The most fertile acre
of cultivated land is Il sterile desert

Natives of the Torres strait have an
original method Of killing fish. In
places where turtles aud large fish are
wont to congregate they erect plat
forms, and ns soon as great turtle or
fish appears the man on the nearest
platform throws II harpoon and almost
Invariably strikes the animal. After
this Is done one of the other men jumps
from his platform with u rope, which
he fastens around the tail of the cap

mains tied to II platform, and thus the
fish or turtle IL soon safely secured. It

SALUTATORY

STANDARD and likewise the
first issue Of any paper to be
published in Churchill County, it
is but right and proper that its
position should be defined in the
town and the county at large. In
the first place we desire it to be
distinctly understood that the
paper IS not here for the purpose
Of disturbing conditions as they
now exist here, politically. social
ly or in any other way, but for
the best good to discuss public
affairs in way that may lead to
the advancement of interests Of
the entire community or county.
The paper is here to make a
legitimate living from local pa
tronage, what support it may
receive from the county and
what advertising patronage it
may pick up from outside
sources. Nobody is behind the
paper as a political or financial
backer and if it succeeds to grow
and prosper, as we hope it will. it
will be because our faith in the
enterprise and the future of the
county will lead US to do some
good hard work to bring about
the desired results. The writer
has been a resident of Nevada for
about twenty-four years and is
somewhat acquainted with con-
ditions as they exist in the State,
and our faith has always been in
seeing that our agricultural
people come to the front, just as
they are now beginning to come.
and we predict that inside of
three years Churchill will be the
banner county of the State as a
community of thrifty and indus
trious farmers.
While it may yet be a little
early to put forth a newspaper
venture we believe that the
STANDARD can make a fair
living if the people of the county
will give it the support it will
endeavor to merit. We realize
the fact that the county is just
starting on an era of prosperity
which will mean much to the
present residents and more to
the home-seekers who will soon
begin to pour over our boundary
line to seek footing to establish
homes in this favored locality.
We are not egotistical enough
to think that a little paper can
accomplish all things, but should
we be able to assist in presenting
to the outside world the great
natural resources of our county it
will crafty us to know that we
have at least done our share to
bring about the change for the
better which will be noticed here
within the next few years.
The STANDARD will always
be pleased to receive communi-
cations from all parts of the
county on toPics of general
interest. home news. etc., but at
no time and in no case will its
columns be lent for the use of one
to malign or reflect upon another
citizen or neighbor.
The price of advertising has
been fixed at a figure which we
deem commensurate with the
cost of producing the paper; so
with the subscription price. and
so far as we are gratified with
the support rendered. and shall
