The daily papers of Nevada that
are potent fcctors for legitimate ad-
vancement are we'll illustrated by
the above. Likewise wholesome
sentiment and selfish importuning
are in evidence as we'll. The reader
can easily judge the motives IN each
instane and in his minds eye prob
ably picture fairly accurately the in
dividualism responsible in each case.
The above is fair evidence of the
fact that Editor Booth, of the Bo-
nanza, is not in the newspaper busi-
ness for his health. 1t also is evil
dence that Mr.. Booth has CONNER
cialized his business to what must be
conceded is an unusual degree. 1t
is one thing to try to make every
drop of printers ink bear revenue,
and it IS quite another to make the
plan succeed legitimately. Probably
the only publications that succeed
along this line are those given oy-

business acumen than the manage
ment of the Nevada concern, for
they are not averse to spending mon
ey for space in the local papers. 1t
Is not unusual to see page advertise
ments in the highest priced papers
of Denver and Pueblo, and the con-
sequences are not hard to find. In
this way the sugar manufacturers
have built up a business that ranks
second in the United States and they
don't have to go around with a gov
ernor at the end of chain holding
the hat for public charity.
If the Nevada Sugar Company
knows how to do business it has
failed in most singular manner to
manifest the first indications of en-
terprise. The promoters went in
to the business without any binders
on, they carefully measured their
chances to succeed and in measuring
these chances they must have seen
that they could take a chance with
the boosting spirit of the Nevada
newspapers. This led them to re-
frain from making an appropriation
for advertising, and they have reach
ed that stage of senility when they
think they are entitled to continue
as publishers pensioners. They
are running strong race with the
church fair ladies who are taxed SO
per cent of the regular advertising
rates by getting in on the deadhead
list. With the governor worked in
the old easy manner and abetted by
the publicity commissioner, the Ne
yada Sugar Company finds no ex-
cuse for advertising, and they will
not advertise so long as the publish
ers of Nevada and adjacent states
are foolish enough to give them
whatever they want for nothing.
This sugar company pays cash for
beets, limestone, transportation and
wages, and there is no reason why
IL Snouid hoI pay iof newspaper
space. Even the Hayemeyers in
New York 5000 miles from Tonopah
find it pays to advertise domino sug-
ar, but the Nevada concern wants to
put one over on the local newspap-
ers by essaying to convince the ed
itors that they have to go the linn
it in boosting another mans game.
The same criticism applies to a
cracker bakery in Nev.da that is
trying to beat the trust by showing
its goods upon consumers. These
goods are eminently superior in ev-
cry respect to the trust made arti-
Gle, but no one ever hears of them
through the advertising columns,
and the makers ask why their busi-
ness should not flourish to a great
er degree than it does.-Tonopah

PREACHMENT AND PRACTICE

There isn't a merchant in Neva.
da who isn't an advocate of the buy
at home policy. There are thous-
ands of men, icluding the editor of
the Gazette, who have doubted the
wisdom oft he parcel post law. No,
that ii hasn't advantages to the in
dlyidual, but it has its menace to the
nation. This mencae lies in the
Iurtner concentration of business
ad the further concentration of pop
ulation in the large commercial CEN
ters. The moral strength of the
nation lies in the rural community.
not in the big city.
There is more real political cor
ruption and rotteness in two wards
OF hte city of Chicago than in all
Illinois outside of Chicago. The
same Is true of New York and Phil
adelphia when compared to the
states of which they are parts.
The nation mas no stronger bull
wark than the country merchant. He
has been power in the land and
always power for good. That
which destroys him weakens the ma
ton. Better support a merchant
and his clerk at home than the mer-
chant and clerk in New York.
The Gazette believes in the coun-
try merchant. Ie believes in the
buy at home" policy; not because
10 helps Merchant Smith or Merchant
Jones, but because it strengthens the
community and community tie.
The management of the Gazette
has declined business amounting to
hundreds of dollars. because it con-
travened the "buy at home'' policy.
1t was opposed to the community in
terest.
There is now an opportunity for
the Nevada merchant to vindicate
the policy that means his own life or
death; 10 preach one thing an 10 an.
other; TO be consistent or incoIsis-
tent. Nevada has an infant indus
try that means much to the future
of the state. 1t is making sugar
in Nevada out of beets grown i'll Ne
vada. 1t is 100 per cent pure. 1t
is equal tot he prodcut of any fac
tory in the world. If It isn't the

When the Nevada merchant asks
you to buy at home, ask him If he
is doing 1t. Ask him If the dollar
you are spending in Nevada with
him for sugar remains In Nevada.
And If not why not.-Reno Gazette.

WILL URGE AN EARLY ACTION
me Local Chamber of Commerce to
cooperate in the Hope of Getting
Our Federal Building.

An early meeting of the Churchill
County Chamber of Commerce will
consider the matter of cooperating
"lth the Portland, Ore, chamber of
commerce in movement looking to
ihe doing away of the great DELAY
N realizing upon government build
ing authorizations by the govern
ment. The solicitation from the
webfoot commercial body for local
cooperation sets forth the fact that
there are now 734 projects for gov
ernment buildings in the United
states, apportloned TO the various
cites and towns of the country. and
mat no progress is made towards
their construction for the reason
That there Is an insuhiciency of ar
chitectural talent in the office of the
supervising architect at Washington.
1t Is pointed. out that Fallon is
among the towns receiving appro-
priations for government building.
in the local instance the sum appro-
priated being $4,000 for building
and site, and that following prece-
dence, the government will be from
.hiee TO five years in preparing the
plans alone. to say nothing of the
actual erection of the building. In
view OF this fact the local CONNER
eial body is asked to cooperate with
a view to securing the passage of
bill now pending before congress
calculated 10 relieve this unbusi-
ness!ike situation. 1t is claimed that
despite the greater press of business
Incumbent upon the treasury de-
parment in overseeing increased

dertakings, the force Is practically

teetural department as Il was some
20 years ago.

mereial body viii be held as a re-
salt OF the importuning and an effort
will be made In Fallon to have the
states congressional delegation aid
The passage of the bill now pending
in the hope that it will move for
ward Fallon's federal building pro-
ject.
That the treasury department is
aot wholly obllyious OF the fact Fal-
Ion has had a federal building auth
orizcd and an appropriation made
for the proposed structure is evi,
denced by a letter recently received
by County Clerk c. L. Noble form
w. G. McAdoo, chairman of the gov
ernment public building commission
In which the questions are put for
ward, how many people reside in
Fallon, Churchill county, what was
the cost of the eoun'y's courthouse
and the site and when was the court
house erected.

WHO is A BOOSTER?

If the Nevada Sugar Company
would do some more advertising 1t
would not have to get down upon its
marrow bones to importune a gov
ernor to lower the dignity of his Of
fee by boosting for product that
is unknown because the makers re-
fuse to use printers ink. The sug-
ar crop of Colorado last year aggre-
gated s3O,O00,O00, and most of this
product was consumed right there
at home by fruit packers and house
wives. The Great Western Sugar Co.,
which controls most of the factories
