Golfers Weekly and The West

Some Nevada people have harbored a
feeling of resentment against Golfers
ON account of that weekly's unlucky
suggestion that Nevada be made part
OF California. That Golfers can be
both just aud generous to the West is
shown by the following editorial.

The United States officials, through

ship. free Of cost. to Elko County, a
herd of 90 elk from Wyoming. The
Government has an immense game re.

thriven and multiplied until there is
not enough Winter range to supply
them with sufficient food to sustain life
through the Winter months.
Hundreds are dying and to relieve
this congestion the Government is ship
ping out the big healthy animals to
neighboring States, whose ranges are
adapted to the nature of the elk.
Supervisor Tremewan has taken up
the matter with the County Commits

who are heartily in sympathy with the
movement to stock our mountains with
this noble game.
They have promised to protect the
elks for several years, and will impose
heavy fine for killing one. The ship.
ment will come to Elko, and the herd
will be taken to the Independence

SYSTEM OF POSTAL
SAVINGS A SUCCESS
Department Plans Establishment
of Additional $50 Banks in
the Near Future

"The Postal Savings Bank has been
more successful than reasonably could
have been expected"
This was the recent comment to-
night by Postmaster General Hitchcock
on the analysis of the returns from the
4S postal savings banks that have been
in operation since January 3. The re.
ports cover the period from the estab-
lishment to February 2s. 1911. In that
time 1928 accounts were opened and
6S61 separate deposits made, the average
amount of each being s2i.50.
Only 259 accounts were closed, the
total number of open accounts oil Feb
ruary 2S being 1864.
The net amount on deposit after two
months operation was s133, 500 II the
same rate Of deposits and Withdrawals
is maintained for a year the amount on
deposit at the end of the year will be
$S03,2l4
The aggregate population of all the
4S cities is approximately $4,000. Sta
tistical experts of the department have
estimated that if the postal savings
system should be patronizsd in the
same proportion when it is established
at all money order postoffices the total
on deposit after one years operation
would be about $500. .000, 900.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is pre-
paring for the establishment of $50 ad.
ditional postal savings banks, an appro.
priation of $500. 900 having been made
by the recent congress for the extension
Of the system. The list of cities prob.
ably will be announced soon.
In a statistical statement prepared by
the department, 1t is shown that Lead

House, so that no citizen of Cobb
County who would have resisted
the bill in its present shape, ever
had any opportunity to do so on ac-
count of the fact that they were
given assurances that the bill was
only to be passed subject to sub
mission to the people. The changes
were made without notice to them
and without any reasonable oppor-
tunity for them to find out the
changes until the bill had passed.

upon the bill before the Court is
created or at least that the oppo-
nents of the bill should not be
deprived of a hearing before the

is not a Constitutional Court, but
one which would give practically no

would bring upon. them.
Heretofore | have declined to
approve bills where they undertook

PRIZE COTTON STALKS
At Mr.. READS FAIR. y
Il. B. WADE SHOWS TALLEST
COTTON, EIGHT FEET TWO.
F. R. Kirk Close Second with Stalk
Eight Feet One Inch-F. NJ.
Bradley has Best Stalk.


Mr.. Tom Read made big hit with
his cotton contest last Saturday. Two
weeks ago he announced in the Jour
nal and Courier that he would give a
five dollar pair of shoes or five
dollar pair of pants for the tall
est stalk of cotton brought to his
store on Saturday, 10Th, and three
dollar hat for the best stalk of cot
ton. Mr.. Read had been noticing the
good condition of the Cobb county
crops and as he always takes lively
interest in such matters decided that
a prize for the best cotton would
make it interesting for the farmers
Saturday morning the cotton began
to come in and it was not long before
the street in front of Mr.. Reads
store looked like miniature cotton
patch. The stalks were tagged by
number and placed along the iron
fence inside the park, finally making
row over a hundred feet long.
There were forty-seven entries, as
follows: D. Brown, A. B. Thompson,
two; H. R. Ridgeway, NJ. A. Griggs,
D. J. Summerour, J. R. Underwood,
two; Hugh Hill, Jim Florence, color
ed; S. A. Paris, colored, two; E. J.
Algood, R. H. Northcutt, W. H. Con-
nor, two; J. M. Phagan, Grady Dod-
gen, Ed. Sellers, H. B. Wade, two;
Van Grower, S. C. McEachern, A. J.
Annondale, ]. M. Kirk, L. L. Film, C.
B Moore, H. B. Moore, J. J. Thomas,
Roy Medford, A. B. Thompson, Geo.
D. Redd, F. D. Kirk, two; F. M. Brad
ley, R. H. Braswell, ]. n Braswell,
Charles Belew, ]. N. Conner, J. Gid
Morris, three; G. W. Grogan, two.
The display of fine stalks attracted
a large crowd and all the morning
that part Of the park was filled with
people. Among those who were there
were Mr.. r. H. Northcutt and Uncle
Gid Morris, two of the best farmers
in the county, and those less skilled
in agriculture seemed to never tire
of listening to what they said about
the selection of seed, cultivation, etc.
The judges were Messrs. Ben STAN
ley, William L. Sanders and J. L.
CAN'T, Jr., and they went very care
fully over the specimens in the con-
test. They did not know whose cot
ton it was they we're examining.
The five-dollar prize was awarded
to Mr.. H. B. Wade for the tallest
stalk, which measured eight feet and
two inches Mr.. F. R. Kirk was a
close second with stalk eight feet
and one inch.
The three-dollar prize for the best
stalk was awarded to Mr.. F. M. Brad
ley, whose stalk contained 1872 bolls.
1t was a great occasion and the
idea, which was original with Mr..
Read, will undoubtedly be followed by
similar contests in the future.
