NOTICE TO BUSINESS MEN

It has been the practice, to greater
or less extent, to send the Daily and
Weekly Independent free to all local
advertisers. Under the new manage
ment, that practice will be discontinued
at the end Of the present month. This
paper will play no favorites, and the
rule will apply re large and small ad-
vertisers, alike. We will Use our best
endeavor to make The Independent as
good as possible with the facilities at
hand and improvements will be made
from time to time, as conditions may
demand. Business reasons require the
step we are taking and do not believe,
for moment, that the business men
of Elko will ask us to continue q prac.
tice that entails loss of money. We
will do our very best to publish paper
worthy Of your support and hope to
make each succeeding issue better than
the preceding one. We are counting
on the support of the business men Of
Elko and believe we will get 1t. but
please do not ask us to continue prac.
tice which means financial loss and
necessarily poor service and inefic-
iency. If you think a servant is
worthy Of his hire, give The Independ-
ent, under the new management, all
the moral and financial support to
which, in your sober Judgment, it il
entitled. The success or failure Of The
Independent depends largely on the
business men and general public Of
Elko. With your generous support,
The Independent will soon take its

When three multi-millionaires
join fortunes in any kind of an

up and takes notice. When the big
three, in the industrial and finan-
ciaI world, joined hands to develop
one of the biggest deposits of low
grade gold ore thus far discovered
in the west, or in the world for
that matter. no one paid the slight
est attention, for the good and
sufficient reason that no one knew
anything about it, except Lthe
gentlemen themselves. and they
never tell tales out of school.
However it has gradually leaked
out that the men behind the big
project at Buckhorn, associated
with Mr.. Wingfield. are the two
men whose names are guarantee

READ The LABEL ON THE
GOODS YOU BUY

In the April Woman's Home
Companion John Phillips Street,
Pure Food Commissioner of, Con-
necticut, writes q very interesting
message to women, an extract from
which follows:
There seems to be q general
impression that the Pure Food Law
prevents the manufacture and sale
Of impure food. This, unfortu-
nately, is not so. The law simply
makes it possible for us to tell the
pure food from the impure.
"The manufacturers obey the
law, but some of them obey only
the letter of the law.
Your part is to make the law
useful to protect your stomach and
your pocketbook. by reading the
labels which the Pure Food Law
compels the manufacturers to
paste on their products.
'This is not so simple as it
sounds. Manufacturers often try to
befog the consumer by using COM
plicated labels filled With long
scientific terms, or by employing
tricks of punctuation and printing.
The housewife who can see throug gh
these tricks and correctly interpret
these tables will always receive the
worth of her money.
Adulterated food is not necesssr-
lily injurious to the health but il is
to the family purse. Any adulter-
ated food product, properly labeled,
may be placed on the market, pro-
Vided that the adulterant employed
is not deleterious. Pure food needs
no label. An impure food often
needs much explanatory data to
make its sale legal. The more ex-
planation label carries, the more
watchful and wary the housewife
should be in examining it.
1T is the province of each house
wife to decide whether she wishes
such adulterants served OH her table
as a matter of economy. But it
is ridiculous for her to pay for such
adulterated food as much or almost
as much, as she would pay for a
pure and wholesome article"
