THIS PAPER is NOT FOR
THATCHER

In fullfllment OF an obligation, the
present editors of the Independent i'm
posed upon themselves in taking over
this paper, and which we made known
to the public in the first issue, We are
going to lay aside political ties where
We believe the public welfare is in
yolyed and support for office such
men as We truly believe Will render
best public service.
The Independent is. as it has been
Democratic through and through. but
there is something more sacred than
ism. II we know that the Democratic
party has erred in nominating a man
for an executive or judicial office,
particularly where there is no prin-
cipal of government involved, merely
Il name, then we refuse to stand be-
hind that party's mistake and will
take the stand for the public welfare.
We will not shield or tolerate cor
raption in our own party any more
than in the opposing parties, but will
strike deep wherever we find it, let
the chips fall where they may.
a case in point is hat of George u.
Thatcher, Democratic candidate to
succeed himself as Encouragement.
After a careful investigation we be-
heye that the Democratic party has
grossly erred in making him the party
choice for that high office and we re-
gard it as a prostitution of our honor
to advocate his election.
Under the corrupt practice law
any article attacking his public record
must be submitted to him before pub
licaion. This will be done, and then
the public will be given through these
Columns the facts which Nc regard 10
be of such a nature as to warrant
vigorous opposition to his election.
We desire 1t to be understood that
this article Is written without the
knowledge or consent OF either of Mr..
Thatcher's opponents, or any political
agents. Nor has any such directly
or indirectly given US any suggestion
or intimation relative to the matter.
We are prompted in our action sole
]y by what we regard to be the pub
lie good-a desire TO enlighten the
public as TO who best will serve them
in public Office.

THE PROPER SPIRIT

II you happen to be strolling up
the street at any time these days and
run into an unrecognizable monster
with ten foot legs, it is Unnecessary
TO become frightened. It's merely one
OF the gammar school children on
stills. For a couple of weeks this fad
has absorbed the attention of Elko's
very youngest set. Stills Of all diff
ferent lengths and varieties are in evi.
dence. And some OF them are fright
fully high. 1t isn't an unusual sight
to see a three foot boy on a pair OF
six foot stills. They go striding over
your heads like German Zcppelins
lowering over London. The fad is so
popular that some of the young folks
have already begun to show the Elko
commercial spirit by hanging up their
shingles as manufacturers. On Pine
street yesterday. an Independent re
porter passed a residence upon the
front porch of which vas hung n sign
announcing the owner OF the sign as
an up-to-date Silt Maker" Standing
zealously by the sign. awaiting Gus.
toners. was the young owner of the
business" At the mature age OF
possibly five years, no big Wall street
magnate was proudcr OF his CONNER
cial embarkation than was that OF
this young financier.
This is the spirit which has made
Elko the best town of the size in the
West. The ever-ready spirit which is
always looking for Il business oppor,
tunity to turn into coin of the realm.
has been installed into generation
after generation until even the tiny
tots have the spirit in thcir blood.
Let the good work 20 on.

ONE SIDED
PARTY FEALTY

Party fealty, as displayed by some
OF the candidates for Office in this
county is a noticeable feature on &C
count OF its onesidedness. They ex-
pect that all 70 the members OF their
pect that all OF the members OF their
party should get behind them and
work from morning till night to in
sure their election. But fealty on
their side of the fence is an entirely
different proposition apparently.
We see daily evidence OF it in the
cards that candidates have in circu-
lation.
After the election it becomes a
thankless task Of partisan newspapers
to keep the party together for the en-
suing two years. Daily they are ex-
erting their endeavors to present n
united front and keep the organiza-
ton on its feet. They do this willing
ly and well. They hold together the
party in such solid form that when
the election year rolls around the can
didates find hat most of their work
has been done before them and they
take their places in a we'll organized
body.
Yet how quickly they forget that
the papers have spent two year OF
energy without pay TO bring about
this condition. They at once want
everything they nced for the cheapest
n@--EhI- --g.- - -.
IL possible.
Every candidate should remember
that the main support OF his cam,
paign comes from the newspapers and
he should treat the press accordingly
and not expect editors and publishers
to devote their brain and energies in
a thankless task.

HALF SHEEP At
IS TIME SUGGESTED

Housewives should buy mutton in
quarters or share whole sheep and
lambs with neighbors, according N
food specialists OF the department OF
agriculture.
The experts find there is n vide
variation in the prices asked for LIMB
and mutton in different towns and
even in different butcher shops in the
same locality. In many places the
prices asked by the pound for these
foods closely approach those asked
for beef and pork. The specialists OF
'|e department. Ind that in nutrltive
value and digcstibility mutton is prac.
tically5 interchangeable with. beef. The
waste is about the same percentage,
although mutton has a slight aGyan-
tage over beef in containing less
water.
In many markets where the pound
price OF mutton and lamb is high,
careful shoppers will find they can
obtain this form OF meat much l1wer
by buying hind quarters or half car
casscs instead OF buying chops and
roasts separately by the pound In
the case OF a hind quarter the chops
can be cut OFF and served for one
meal and the roast will serve fCt an.
other meal. In this way the family
frequently viii obtain chops at a
price per pound lower than that ask.
ed FOR roast alone by the pound.
Where a half carcass is bought. In
addition to the chops and roasts. the
family will have a fore quarter and
meat for stcwing. The sheep II very
convenient for purchase in this way.
rs 1t Is mail and can be kcyt in
an ordinary refrigerator. Frequently
families combine and buy a whole
carcass and divide 1t. and in this case
get still better prices and obtain cuts
at Il low average per pound.

DRY FARMER SAYS
FARM BIG ACE9EGE

W. Sohlman. superintendent OF the
is 4 frequent visitor in Elko, is max
ing a great success of the experiment
al station in Lamoille Valley. Re-
garding the yield OF the farm this
year. Mr.. Sohlman had the following
10 say:
The crops were cut about half in
two this year by the severe frost we
had in June, the first June frost in
is years. Otherwise we should have
had about the same yield as we did
last year when We secured SO bushels
of Turkey Red winter wheat to the
acre.
Some people are of the opinion that
the dry farm should pay its w way
but they don't stop to consider the
fact that we are constantly expert
mentins TO find out what grains are
best suited to this kind OF farming.
We had 60 varieties last year. This
fall we seeded Is acres to winter
grains. r%eserving the balance of so
acres available for cultivation next
ear for spring sowing. The state
dry farm could be made pay if its
size We're doubled, making the size
leo acres. and II the experimental
features were eliminated. Two men
could take care OF 500 acres as easily
as they could OF 100 acres If they did
not have so much extra work TO do,
due TO the experiments carried on for
the benefit OF those engaged in this
kind of farming. Elko county has
great quantities OF land suitable to
dry farming hut a dry farm should
contain 800 acres. 40 half of it is gum
mer fallowed each year. The big
yield of ~dry-farmed wheat last year
was Of such high quality that II sold
for 3 cents a pound for seed"
